Chapter 57 Trials 1
"What luck! There's a beast demon outside, and here comes a plant demon! Little guy, tell us your origins!" Yingyue asked curiously, staring at the little ginseng.
"If you tell me to say it, I'll just say it. Wouldn't that make me lose face?" The little ginseng was tiny, but it looked quite arrogant.
Cheng Jiu coughed twice. "Oh dear, Senior Brother Wen, I remember ginseng soup is especially nourishing!"
“Of course, especially ginseng that has lived for thousands of years, or even become a demon, is even more nourishing. Junior sister, I see you’ve lost weight from all that running around these past few days, let me help you replenish your strength.” After saying that, Wen Sishu took out his alchemy furnace.
The ginseng demon looked at them incredulously: "I'm a demon, a demon!"
“Yes, it’s a great tonic for demons.” Wen Sishu heated up the alchemy furnace and reached out to grab it.
The little ginseng spirit, seeing that he wasn't faking it, tried to escape like a headless mouse. But Yingyue and Cheng Jiu, who were standing nearby, weren't about to let it get away.
"Ah!" Instead of burrowing into the ground, it was scalded out by the high temperature of the ground.
"You've gone too far! You actually set up a fire array underground." The ginseng demon looked at the two pretty girls in disbelief. They were so wicked. Setting up a fire array underground? How could a human possibly come up with that? It watched as it plunged headfirst into the fire array and almost got roasted alive.
But the ginseng demon quickly forgot everything else and saw Wen Sishu reach out to grab it. The ginseng demon retreated desperately: "Although I am of a different race from you, I am a demon. We are essentially cannibals, cannibals."
Wen Sishu didn't even blink, his smile becoming even more sinister: "I know, do you think we're good people?"
"Don't come any closer! I said don't come any closer! I'm not tasty." The ginseng demon was like a girl cornered by a bully, and Wen Sishu was the bully with the twisted smile.
Cheng Jiu and Ying Yue, who were watching this drama from the sidelines, couldn't bear to watch. Could it be that Wen Sishu was so engrossed in the script of this weak girl and the bully?
"Help, help, my two aunts, help me! I'll confess! I'll confess everything!" The moment Wen Sishu pinched the ginseng doll, the ginseng doll cried out and begged for mercy.
"Junior brother!" As soon as Yingyue spoke, Wen Sishu stopped what she was doing. She exuded a powerful aura: "Tell me, what is your background?"
Upon hearing this question, the ginseng doll's eyes welled up with tears, and it looked at the crystal in Cheng Jiu's hand with a pitiful expression: "It's all because that demon snake is too despicable. It stole my home! I didn't dare to take it back, so I wanted to escape while the demon snake was away."
"You said you are a demon born in this secret realm. Are there other demons in this secret realm?" Yingyue was a little surprised. Demons born in nature are actually so common?
If there are other demons in this secret realm, they will definitely not go in again. After all, although humans and demons have an agreement not to interfere with each other, their relationship is still very tense.
The border between the mortal realm and the demon realm is frequently ravaged by beast tides inhabited by demons, so if there are still demons present, it's anyone's guess what might happen if you go in.
The ginseng doll shook its head: "I'm the only one who can talk!"
The three breathed a sigh of relief. Yingyue picked up the ginseng doll fiercely and said, "You better not lied to us, otherwise I'll chop you up and make soup."
The ginseng doll was immediately terrified and burst into tears. How could these people be so cruel?
Cheng Jiu took out a bottle to catch its tears. You have to understand that a ginseng doll that can become a demon has lived for who knows how many years! Every part of it is a treasure, even its tears are precious.
Seeing her actions, the ginseng doll felt a chill in her heart and began to sob, but gradually stopped crying.
Meeting Cheng Jiu's somewhat disappointed gaze, it only felt more desolate.
"Senior Sister, are you going to send it to the Demon Realm along with the Little Iron-Eating Beast Demon?" Wen Sishu asked. Although he had just acted very ferociously, at this moment, in the eyes of the little ginseng spirit, he was practically bathed in holy light.
"Are we some kind of sworn enemies? It's a ginseng demon, a ginseng demon! Even if it was naturally formed in this secret realm, and even if it escaped from the demon realm and was returned to the demon realm, we'd have to see what kind of price the demon realm can offer." Yingyue rolled her eyes at him.
Plant demons are one of the four major races of the demon race, and none of them are weak, because it is extremely difficult for plants to become demons, and the current demon emperor is a plant demon.
Since the demon race has no alchemists, races with healing abilities are highly respected among the demon race.
After all, they are both demons. Humans might refuse to trade pills with them, but demons would not refuse their own kind.
Ginseng demons, being both plant demons and possessing powerful healing properties, are considered treasures to be revered among demons.
However, among humans, the ginseng demon is also quite valuable; as mentioned earlier, its entire body is a treasure.
To take it even more extreme, if one could devour this ginseng demon, regardless of its aptitude or cultivation level, it would allow one to ascend to the Nascent Soul stage painlessly and without side effects.
However, in the Heavenly Dao, the demon race, the ghost race, and the human race are on equal footing. What the ginseng demon said earlier is also correct. If you really eat it, in the Heavenly Dao's eyes it is equivalent to eating your own kind. Eating people has always been intolerable to the heavens.
The relationship between humans and demons isn't exactly close; if the ginseng demon were given to the demons for free at this time, it wouldn't be praised, but rather met with great injustice.
Wen Sishu nodded, and Cheng Jiu glanced at the demon snake's cave: "It seems that besides these things, this demon snake has nothing else of value. Senior brother, didn't you say you wanted to break through to the Nascent Soul stage? You can start preparing now."
Yingyue still felt sorry for her junior brother: "Have you prepared the resources for your breakthrough? What are you still lacking? Senior sister has them all here."
Wen Sishu shook her head: "I have everything prepared."
"Remember, you absolutely must withstand the first lightning tribulation! Don't try to crawl into that broken alchemy furnace of yours, otherwise the Heavenly Dao won't acknowledge your advancement," Yingyue reminded him, recalling the absurdity of his breakthrough to the Golden Core stage.
Unlike her, Wen Sishu did not practice body tempering, mainly because he lacked the talent for it and could not endure the hardship.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been blown into bed by his sixth senior brother's furnace explosion. Although his sixth senior brother was there and his furnace explosion was very powerful, the main problem was that Wen Sishu had never practiced body tempering and was just a fragile person.
When he formed his core last time, I don't know what he was thinking, but he actually went straight into the alchemy furnace. The Heavenly Dao didn't strike him, but the lightning tribulation kept circling above the alchemy peak.
If his master hadn't discovered him and dragged him out, and if the tribulation lightning had escaped, he would have had to undergo another Core Formation.
Yingyue thought of the iron-eating beast and the black bear outside. Although the little iron-eating beast wanted to ask the two for help, she couldn't rule out the possibility that it might return to the demon clan and turn its back on them. Wouldn't it be discovered by the demons if they caught a ginseng demon?
She searched carefully through her ring, and Cheng Jiu finally found a spirit-binding bag in her own ring.
As the little ginseng demon struggled, it was placed into the spirit-binding pouch.
The two exchanged a glance and suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, as if they were dealing with a demon trafficker.
However, as for what to do with the little ginseng demons, it's best to wait until they return from their training and hand them over to their master. Whether they are sent back to the demon realm or placed in the Guiyuan Sect, it's best not to let these disciples suffer any losses.
Although the Demon Serpent's Cave was very poor, capturing a little ginseng demon and a secret realm crystal was quite a haul.
