Chapter 159: Was There Anymore Spiritual Essence?

The root of a Blood Spiritual Ginseng in the Demonic Void Realm was an absolute treasure.

If the Blood Spiritual Ginseng was in its flourishing period, even a single root would be comparable to a Mirage Grade High-Level elixir. A priceless value.

For personal disciples from major sects and schools, obtaining Mirage Grade elixirs to assault the Yuan Xuan Realm might not be particularly difficult. However, using a root of the Blood Spiritual Ginseng to attempt the same would undoubtedly be a much more challenging feat!

By comparison, the root of Blood Spiritual Ginseng was unmistakably much better.

Listening to Su Yi’s words, the Golden Python let go of the Blood Spiritual Ginseng.

“My lord has broken through. I also want to eat this Blood Spiritual Ginseng.” Da Bao and Xiao Ling climbed onto Su Yi’s shoulders as they stared at Su Yi with glowing eyes.

“Sure, in the future I will give it to you guys to eat.” Su Yi slightly smiled as his eyes were also secretly gleaming. One root of the Blood Spiritual Ginseng already had so much effect. He could make use of this in the future.

“Wishful thinking! Granddaddy Seng, I, will not obey your orders unless I have died!”

The Blood Spiritual Ginseng stared at Su Yi with a look that viewed death as though returning home.

“Don’t worry. I did not mention that I want to pluck your roots now. Moreover, with your present condition, I must at least wait until you have fully recovered. Additionally, I will only pluck some of your roots, while you will still be able to grow them back in the future, which is nothing much for you. Why are you acting so selfish?” Su Yi glanced at the Blood Spiritual Ginseng with a much better attitude.

At this moment, Su Yi wholeheartedly believed that it was the rumored Blood Spiritual Ginseng that had broken through to the Demonic Void Realm. In the future, whether his grandfather could recover or even advance, would all depend on this Blood Spiritual Ginseng.

“Wishful thinking. Do you think that Granddaddy Seng’s root can be plucked whenever you want?!” The Blood Spiritual Ginseng felt dismal. What kind of brat had it encountered that seemed to be different from the average human?

“No need to worry, in the future I will just pluck less.” Su Yi sheepishly smiled. His gaze secretly changed as he continued to coax the Blood Spiritual Ginseng: “Granddaddy Seng, you are truly indeed a Blood Spiritual Ginseng. But why did you become so wretched?”

“Now you finally believe that Granddaddy Seng, I, am a Blood Spiritual Ginseng!”

The Blood Spiritual Ginseng had a face full of injustice as it was very agitated. Later, it shook the roots on its body as it told Su Yi: “Didn’t I already tell you? Back then, I was interrupted when I was trying to break through. This time, I did not have the time to prepare, so my tribulation had failed, and I consequently came into this space.”

Glancing around, the Blood Spiritual Ginseng still seemed to carry a hint of lingering fear towards the space. However, as its gaze shifted to the field of herbs, it subtly changed. With an air of insouciance, it continued speaking to Su Yi, “So, is there any more of your Spiritual Essence? That Spiritual Essence has some benefits for me. Since I helped you break through, you should give me some as a fair trade, so we can call it even.”

“The Spiritual Essence was all used up by you, okay?” When the Spiritual Essence was brought up, Su Yi’s heart still felt a little stung.

However, since it was indeed the Blood Spiritual Ginseng, and he had also gained immense benefits from it by directly breaking through to the Yuan Xuan Realm, Su Yi’s heart felt much better.

“With that being the case then why not do it like this, since I am currently still wounded, I will stay inside here for some time to nurse myself back to health, hoping that there will still be chances to continue to pass the tribulation!”

The Blood Spiritual Ginseng glanced at Su Yi as it said this while carefully observing Su Yi. It seemed that it wanted to capture the changes in Su Yi’s expression while within its eyes, there was some sentimental.

“No problem, definitely no problem. Granddaddy Seng can relax and nurse your health back here.”

Su Yi’s eyes secretly moved without revealing anything on his expression as he asked the Blood Spiritual Ginseng: “But, I thought that Granddaddy Seng had failed the tribulation? How can you continue to pass the tribulation?”

“I did fail, but strictly speaking, it is not entirely failing but only merely avoided.”

The Blood Spiritual Ginseng spoke while peeking at Su Yi, its eyes avoiding his gaze. It continued, “When I was undergoing the First Tribulation, towards the end, I could no longer withstand it. Just when I thought survival was unlikely, your appearance in the mysterious space interrupted the tribulation. So, even though I failed, you could say I only dodged it. While there will be significant consequences in the future, I will still have a chance to face it again. But next time, the tribulation will be much more difficult than before.”

“Is that so…?” Su Yi’s eyes shifted as he processed the Blood Spiritual Ginseng’s words. He had indeed heard it mention that its tribulation had failed, and that even if it didn’t die, its cultivation would regress. However, because of the mysterious space, although it had failed the tribulation, it had managed to dodge it. As a result, its Demonic Void Realm was unstable and could slip over time. If it were to face the First Tribulation again, the difficulty would increase dramatically, with a success rate of less than one in ten thousand.

“Granddaddy Seng can relax here while nursing your health back.” The expression of Su Yi changed as he smiled.

Moments later, Su Yi led Snow Jade Ape, Fire-Eyes Beast Tiger, Golden Python, and the others out of the mysterious space.

As they left, the Blood Spiritual Ginseng’s expression shifted instantly. It secretly revealed a look of astonishment and muttered to itself, “Such a precious place. What exactly is this place? If I could truly cultivate here for some time, there would be hope for my First Tribulation to succeed.”

　　…………………………

“My lord, in the future, will I truly get to eat that Blood Spiritual Ginseng? I can feel that the taste must be great.” Inside the wet cave, a ‘rumbling’ sound rang from the waterfall on the outside. Da Bao coiled around Su Yi’s shoulder as it still could not forget about it.

The aromatic herb smell that emanated from the Blood Spiritual Ginseng was an irresistible temptation for the beasts.

“There will be a chance.” Su Yi smilingly replied.

“My lord, I heard that the Blood Spiritual Ginseng is very sneaky and sly. You must beware of it.” Golden Python warned Su Yi as it was cautious of the Blood Spiritual Ginseng.

“It is certainly sneaky.” Su Yi slightly smiled while responding.

The Blood Spiritual Ginseng was tortured by having its root plucked, but it surprisingly did not even mention leaving the mysterious space.

How could Su Yi not understand its intentions? The mysterious space could increase the potency and grades of the Spiritual Herbs and elixirs, so for the Blood Spiritual Ginseng, there would be an unmistakably tremendous benefit.

Unquestionably, that old fellow, Blood Spiritual Ginseng, had discovered that the mysterious space had a tremendous effect on it, so it did not want to leave.

As for Su Yi, this was undoubtedly beneficial for him as the more potent the Blood Spiritual Ginseng got, the better the effect on his grandfather. Hence, he had no plans for the Blood Spiritual Ginseng to leave.

Afterward, Su Yi told the Golden Python, White Jade Swallow, and the rest about the things that had happened recently and that there were several Demonic Emperor Realm beasts in the area.

“Demonic Emperor Realm!”

After hearing it, the eyes of the Golden Python, Fire-Eyes Beast Tiger, and the rest all shone with lights full of expectation and yearning.

With their bloodline, no matter how much they cultivated, it would be nearly impossible to reach such high levels of cultivation. To be able to be in the Demonic Spirit Realm was already a miracle.

For cultivation, humans would first look at their talent.

If, their talent was weak, then no matter how hard they trained, they would not be able to achieve much in life.
