Fangzheng slept extremely comfortably. By the time he woke up, it was already a brand new day.
Following that, the sound of chopsticks striking rice bowls could be heard in the kitchen. Having not eaten for two days, Fangzheng was like the reincarnation of a starving ghost. He finished half a pot of rice alone. Upon seeing Fangzheng's ferocity, Squirrel, who felt his heart ache for the Crystal Rice, jumped down to join in the battle of eating. Eventually, he was carried out by Monkey …
"You're so small. Why are you competing with him in terms of size? Can't you just stay put? "mumbled Monkey.
Squirrel yelled angrily, "Didn't Master say that having a big heart is considered big? I have a big heart! "
Monkey raised his eyelids and asked, "How big?"
Squirrel waved his fists angrily and exclaimed, "I can eat a whole pot of rice!"
Monkey: "…"
After having his fill, Fangzheng felt comfortable all over. He waved his arms and began to ponder over the problem of cultivating his cultivation technique. However, to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Body Tempering Art, he first had to obtain a spirit herb. Logically speaking, Fangzheng had Buddhistic medicine Spirit Qi, so any herb could be nurtured into a spirit herb. However, spirit herbs were also divided into different grades. The better the variety, the better the effects! Furthermore, the medicinal properties of spirit herbs were different. If Fangzheng were to mess around and infuse a wisp of Buddhistic medicine Spirit Qi into an Aphrodisiac Grass, the monkey, wolf, and child in the monastery would probably not be able to escape his clutches.
With this in mind, Fangzheng felt a chill run down his spine.
With the principle of using the best steel where it was needed, Fangzheng finally descended the mountain and headed straight for Mt. Tongtian. Then, he thickened his skin and asked Perfected Letian for a ginseng sprout.
Perfected Letian dug up Frost Bamboo daily for a sumptuous meal, so he always felt that Fangzheng was the one losing money. Cultivators placed great importance on karma. What he pursued was to escape from the world, to not be tainted by karma and to be free and unfettered. Owing someone else made him feel uncomfortable all over …
However, Perfected Letian searched through all the things he was good at, only to find that Fangzheng had something better than him. Back when he drank the ginseng flower tea, Fangzheng had looked astonished but not greedy. He knew that Fangzheng had no interest in ginseng. He originally thought that he would have to owe Fangzheng forever, but he never expected that Fangzheng would suddenly come knocking on his door to ask for it!
Perfected Letian naturally chuckled as he gave Fangzheng a ginseng sprout. Then, he closed the door and beamed. The karma had been cleared. Hahaha … Awesome!
Fangzheng returned to Mt. One Finger and looked at the ginseng sprout in his hand. He was a little vexed. Where should he plant it? This is a problem.
Ginseng was not Frost Bamboo. Frost Bamboo grew in large patches and could not be hidden anywhere. More importantly, a large stretch of Frost Bamboo was nice to look at. However, ginseng was different. Everyone knew that wild ginseng was valuable. If someone were to set their eyes on it, it would be taken away by them if they were not careful.
After much thought, Fangzheng finally buried the ginseng in the backyard, beside Lone Wolf's kennel.
Lone Wolf's ears were sharp, and he was extremely vigilant. He would be able to discover anyone who came. Furthermore, beside Lone Wolf's kennel was the backyard's door. Beside the door was the kitchen, where Monkey and Red Boy lived. This way, once the back door was locked, even a deity might not be able to steal the ginseng from One Finger Monastery.
Furthermore, few outsiders came to the backyard. No one knew that there was such a ginseng in the monastery, so there was naturally less trouble.
With this in mind, Fangzheng did not say a word. He used a hoe to open up a tiny herbal field in the corner of the wall and planted the ginseng sprout.
However, the sprout had wasted too much time on the road. Even though it was planted now, it looked a little listless, as though it could die at any moment.
"Master, this fellow is probably going to die." Lone Wolf looked in disdain at the plant that was vying for his territory and even wanted him to take care of it. Lone Wolf could not figure out why Fangzheng was in the mood to rear plants when he couldn't even rear all the animals he had. Could it be for me to pee on? But isn't it too small? How can it compare to stepping on a wall?
Fangzheng did not know what was on Lone Wolf's mind. If he knew, he might have performed surgery on Lone Wolf on the spot.
Red Boy added, "Master, this is ginseng, right? But it's just a sprout. If you want to rear it to have any effects, it will take at least a hundred years, right? When the time comes, you will be in the grave. "
Fangzheng raised his hand and slapped him. "You are the one in the grave. I'll show you what I'm capable of!"
With that said, Fangzheng raised his hand and tapped the ginseng sprout that was lying limply on the ground. The green grass hoop in his hand transformed into a wisp of green gas that fell down. It transformed into green points of light that gently landed on the ginseng sprout like raindrops. The next moment, the ginseng sprout seemed to be jolted awake as it bounced up and stood up straight, brimming with fighting spirit.
Lone Wolf jumped in fright as he jumped up and exclaimed, "Is this fellow in heat?"
Fangzheng rapped Lone Wolf on the head. "Watch your manners!"
Lone Wolf stuck out his tongue and asked, "Master, what's wrong with this fellow? Why is he suddenly standing up straight? "
Fangzheng said, "He probably ate too much and can't hold it in."
Just as he said that, he saw the tiny sprout begin to move. It trembled as its leaves grew larger and stronger. The leaves on it bloomed one by one. The speed at which it was growing left Fangzheng dumbfounded! Even Crystal Rice did not have such a speed! Soon, the leaves began to wither after they were fully grown. Then, they spat out new sprouts, one, two …
However, Fangzheng knew that it was impossible to determine the age of a ginseng by looking at its leaves. It should be based on the size of the bowl, but what astonished Fangzheng was that although the ginseng's leaves had fallen and grown again, all the leaves had grown out from the original bowl! That also meant that when the leaves fell, one could see the bowl, but when the leaves grew out, one could not see it!
Fangzheng was instantly dumbfounded. The method of identification that Perfected Letian had taught him did not seem to be effective against the proud little guy.
Furthermore, the ginseng that Perfected Letian planted was only about ten centimeters tall, but the thing in front of him was nearly a meter tall! Fangzheng even suspected if Perfected Letian had given him a carrot sprout or a ginseng sprout. Thankfully, the red ginseng seemed to tell Fangzheng that it was a ginseng and not a carrot.
Similarly, the ginseng was also a proud thing. As its leaves fell and bloomed, it stood on them, becoming stronger and stronger. Its head was round and glistening red. It was crystalline like a ruby.
Lone Wolf stared at the ginseng sprout and licked his lips. "Master, this thing looks delicious."
"If you dare eat it, I'll stew you." Fangzheng glared at the idiot.
