Volume 1 Chapter 18: The Forest of Spiritual Ginseng

Chapter 18 Ling Shen Lin Sen ()

Lin Sen had been lonely for too long. He held Zhang Pa and talked endlessly. He drank one cup after another and ate a lot of food. Soon he was drunk and fell asleep.

Zhang Pa didn't drink much, but just tasted it. It was indeed a good wine and a good dish. Not only was it sweet, but it was also full of spiritual energy. Every bite of the dish was like a ten-full tonic pill. When he first ate it, he felt that it contained spiritual energy and there was nothing wrong with it. After a while, the food and wine changed in his stomach and began to emit spiritual energy, instantly filling his meridians and body. The spiritual energy became more and more, and it was uncomfortable. Zhang Pa had experience, took out the pearl tears, held them tightly in his palm, and the spiritual energy in his body immediately rushed to the pearl tears in his palm.

Just now, Zhang Pa didn't know how many spiritual medicines and spiritual wines he had eaten. The pearl tears absorbed the spiritual energy for more than an hour before he felt comfortable. He opened his eyes and saw Lin Sen was still sleeping, so he got up to see the puppy.

The three puppies were still three air masses, quietly suspended in the air. Zhang Pa circled around the platform for a few times, thinking of the little snake in his arms. He took out the pearl tears again and the snake eggs. He wanted to use the spiritual energy to hatch the little snake again.

He held the pearl tears, relaxed his body, and let the sadness in the pearl tears invade his mind. Then his forehead flashed with brilliance, covering the snake eggs. The snake eggs rose into the air, absorbed a lot of spiritual power from the forehead, and then broke the shell and hatched into snakes. Then the next one.

In just a short while, four more little snakes were born. When the fourth one was hatched, Lin Sen's drunkenness passed and he woke up. When he opened his eyes and saw Zhang Pa hatching the little snakes, he was thoughtful and sighed.

After the four snakes were hatched, the spiritual power in the pearl tears was exhausted. Zhang Pa returned to normal, put away the pearl tears, snake eggs and broken egg shells, then picked up the little snakes and put them in his palm to look at them, and then grabbed the original four and carefully compared the differences.

Lin Sen said on the side: "No wonder the Fu Shen Snake is willing to listen to you, it turns out that you hatched it." Zhang Pa realized that Lin Sen had woken up, and looked up to greet him.

Lin Sen sighed and said: "Is that the God's Tears in your hand?"

"God's Tears? What is it?"

"God's Tears are the strangest kind of magic weapon in the world. They have no attack power, no defense power, but they are extremely precious! The main function is to absorb and store the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Not to mention in the Five Spirits Blessed Land, even in the barren desert, God's Tears can absorb spiritual energy. This thing is the treasure that all cultivators dream of. You must know that magic tools can be refined, but God's Tears are hard to find."

"So precious?" Zhang Pa didn't expect it.

"Of course it's precious. Gods don't have tears, and the spirits won't cry. If there wasn't a big grudge, how could this thing be formed? If there's no guessing, this divine tear should be left by the Fushen Snake, right? The divine tear is transformed from the mother snake's spirit, and contains a lot of the mother snake's breath. The young snake was hatched by you, so it's natural to be close to you. But, the big snake is dead, right? The mother snake protects her child. If it's still alive, it will definitely not let you take away the snake eggs. Besides, if it didn't die unjustly, it wouldn't be able to turn into this divine tear."

Thinking of the scene of refining the beast cauldron in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave, Lin Sen seemed to have seen it with his own eyes, and Zhang Pa answered yes.

Lin Sen became serious and said solemnly: "Listen to me, don't show the Fushen young snake and the divine tears to others in the future, otherwise they will definitely not live for a few days; these are the world's treasures, I don't know how many people are thinking about them, especially your cultivation is still low."

Zhang Pa was frightened: "There are so many bad people in the world?"

"Bad people? It can only be said that it is human nature. I am transformed from a spiritual ginseng. No matter how high or low my cultivation is, I am born with fear of spiritual beasts like Fushen, so I naturally won't have any ideas about him, but it's hard to say for others. Think about how you got the divine tears, don't you understand?" Strangely, Lin Sen actually looked a little sad.

Zhang Pa remembered Uncle Zhenyi. Yes, the big snake didn't offend him, but he forced it to be refined just to subdue it. Thinking of this, he bowed respectfully: "Thank you Uncle Lin for your teachings."

Lin Sen shook his head slightly: "It can't be considered teachings, the following words are teachings, you can't use the divine tears?"

"Use the divine tears? Before today, I didn't know what this thing was called, so how could I use it." Zhang Pa replied.

"The method of use is really simple. Just use your spiritual sense to probe it. I don't understand why you don't know how to use it." Lin Sen still shook his head with a hint of sadness.

Spiritual sense? Yes, since I got the God's Tears, every time I hold them, I am affected by its sadness and have never tried to probe into the spiritual sense. Zhang Pa secretly cursed himself for being stupid.

"There are many strange and bizarre methods of cultivation, but they are nothing more than training the inner breath and consciousness. The inner breath is the cultivation, and the consciousness is the mental power. It is really slow and difficult to cultivate alone, so many tricks were born, such as absorbing spiritual power into the body, and then refining it to increase the inner breath and improve the cultivation... I was too kind back then and almost lost my life." As he spoke, he took off his robe. There was a fist-sized scar on his chest. He turned around and there was a similar scar on the same position on his back. He continued: "I have suffered many injuries, but this scar will remain for the rest of my life. At that time, I went out to train and carried a lot of pills I made myself to the commercial street to exchange for casting materials. As a result, I was seen. After they knew that I was carrying a large number of advanced pills, the righteous and evil paths at that time actually stopped fighting for me temporarily and joined forces to hunt me down. I am a spiritual ginseng, I can walk underground, and my wounds heal quickly. As long as my soul is not destroyed, I can never die, so I can always escape."

"When I first went out, I envied humans, so I tried hard to make friends. At that time, I met a friend who was nice to me. After being hunted down, I was disheartened and planned to come back, but I wanted to say goodbye to him before I came back, so I went to his house. His family is a big cultivation family, and I gave him a lot of advanced pills, so he was pretty good to me. He held a farewell party for me the night before I left. I drank too much and accidentally revealed the secret that I was a spiritual ginseng. What happened next will be unforgettable for the rest of my life." Lin Sen spoke calmly, as if he was not talking about his own business.

"After my friend knew the secret, he kept calm and continued to persuade me to drink until I got drunk. I have a habit of sleeping underground. Although I was drunk at that time, I still instinctively sank underground. Unexpectedly, the ground was restricted and I couldn't get in. I felt the danger and sobered up halfway. At this time, my good friend attacked me and punched me through the body. Fortunately, I am not a human, otherwise I would have died long ago. After I reacted, I naturally ran away. I couldn't escape underground, but the wall was also made of earth, so I went through the wall. His house was so big, I went through it randomly and finally escaped. I got out of danger and sank into the ground and saved my life by chance."

"I have never told this story to anyone, and no one can tell it. I tell you now because I want you to know that people's hearts are unpredictable. You can know a person's face but not his heart. Be careful in everything. God's tears are the most precious treasure in the world. If someone covets them, you can imagine your ending." Lin Sen put on his clothes and kept reminding him.

Zhang Pa stood up and bowed respectfully: "Disciple will remember the teachings of the predecessors."

Lin Sen chuckled: "Is this all you can say?" Zhang Pa was a little embarrassed.

Lin Sen said again: "I am willing to let you in and talk to you so much because you are a good child. You first let Fu'er go, and then let go of my monsters. You are kind and care about animals very much. Moreover, you are only sixteen years old, still just a child. It is really an anomaly for cultivators to have people like you."

Zhang Pa defended: "No, my uncles are all very good." After saying this, he thought of the many years he had lived in Tianlei Mountain, and he was a little bit unbelieving.

Lin Sen smiled calmly: "I hope so."

Zhang Pa wanted to know the outcome of the story, so he asked: "Did you take revenge later?"

"Revenge? Haha, since then I have been living in seclusion, leaving scars to remind myself not to be fooled again. I just want to survive, and I don't want revenge anymore."

"Why not take revenge? Ah, is it because you can't beat him?"

"I guess so. There are many masters in the world. If you can escape once, can you escape the next time? I have long been discouraged about these things. Do you remember just now? I said I would come down to get the elixir for you, but I took you to the Five Spirits Garden."

Zhang Pa said: "Remember, I was surprised just now."

"Don't think too highly of me. Just now, a Yuanying master passed by. I was afraid that he would find the cave, so I brought you down. Compared with the two of you, he is obviously more dangerous than you, so I would rather bet that you are kind; so far, it seems that the bet has not been wrong."

Zhang Pa did not show a disappointed expression after hearing this, but bowed again: "No matter what the reason, I have to thank you for bringing me down to wash the marrow of Xiaobai, Xiaohei and Xiaohuang."

Lin Sen laughed: "Then thank you, I'll go outside and get a spirit fish, and drink it later."
