Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 729: Chapter 544: Duck Egg and the Ginseng Baby

The Ginseng Baby had a fawning and ingratiating expression, making everyone pause in surprise.

The vivid expressions of this little creature made people feel both pity and amusement.

They hadn’t expected that this ginseng spirit would be so spiritual and that its intelligence might be no less than an average child.

Upon sensing its own danger, it even knew to use the ginseng flower on its head to ingratiate itself with them.

If it were just a regular immortal elixir, even if it had spirituality, it would have been eaten, but such a cute, child-like Ginseng Baby was indeed hard to eat.

Being cute and good-looking does have its advantages.

No matter what the job is, no matter if it’s a person or not.

”This little guy is indeed smart, knowing exactly whom to please?”

Yun Tianqi laughed.

This Ginseng Baby was able to discern who the boss among them was.

Logically, since the Ginseng Baby was in his hands, its life and death should depend on him. It should’ve been pleasing him, yet the Ginseng Baby faced Lin Feng, its big watery eyes full of flattery and also pleading.

”Ying ying ying.”

Seeing Lin Feng’s reaction, it continued to hold the ginseng flower, though it looked somewhat labored.

Clearly, the ginseng flower was very important to the Ginseng Baby. Losing it seemed to have visibly weakened it, and its medicinal fragrance had lessened considerably.

”Are you trying to tell us about the effects of the ginseng flower?”

Lin Feng looked at the Ginseng Baby and asked.

Although he couldn’t understand what the Ginseng Baby was saying, some things could still be inferred from its actions.

”Ying ying ying.”

The Ginseng Baby looked anxious and aggrieved, continuing to ”ying ying ying,” but unfortunately, no one could understand.

”I don’t understand; this is the first time I’ve seen an enlightened immortal plant. Such things only exist in myths and legends; I’m afraid no one knows its exact effects.”

”Who cares about all that, since it’s a spirit plant, it can definitely be eaten.”

”You all are too cruel; how can you bear to eat such a cute Ginseng Baby? Do you have any human compassion?”

”What’s the point of keeping it if we don’t eat it? If you like kids, go have one yourself.”

”Eat it raw, or make it into a Pill?”

”An immortal elixir—do you think eating it might make someone a direct Emperor?”

”Becoming an Emperor is impossible, at least not for us. There are only a dozen or so Emperors in the country; it’s not that easy, but becoming a King is for sure.”

”An immortal elixir should have a demon spirit too, right? I wonder what kind of soul skill it has?”

The group engaged in a lively discussion.

Lin Feng noticed that every time the word ”eat” was mentioned, the Ginseng Baby’s body would tremble slightly, its eyes revealing a hint of fear, while it remained relatively unresponsive to the other topics.

This implied that the Ginseng Baby didn’t actually understand what they were saying, but it did understand the meaning of ”eat.”

Perhaps after hearing about eating, the fear-stricken Ginseng Baby’s eyes suddenly brightened, and while ”ying ying ying,” it brought the ginseng flower to its mouth and pretended to chew on it.

”Haha, is it demonstrating how to consume it? This Ginseng Baby is quite clever, very perceptive. Seeing it reminds me of Duck Egg—another crafty little one.”

Ye Xing said with a grin.

Having not met Duck Egg for a while, he indeed missed it a bit.

”Didn’t Duck Egg’s talent awaken? She can understand beast language, but it’s unclear if she can understand the Ginseng Baby?” Dong Yunan said curiously.

Ye Xing said, ”Bring her out and we’ll find out. Besides, we were going to call out the Tummy Bag Beast. All these spirit plants around us are getting in the way, affecting our speed and combat.”

”Let’s first find a secluded place, since we’ve consumed so many spirit plants and spirit fruits. The spiritual power and essence of life accumulated within our bodies need to be refined quickly.”

Lin Feng glanced around and said.

They didn’t dare to openly summon the Tummy Bag Beast in order to conceal Hong Yi’s presence.

Thus, in the land of spirit plants, Hong Yi had not been summoned.

It’s always good to be cautious.

If the Tummy Bag Beast were exposed, Hong Tao would definitely become suspicious.

If an extraordinary being becomes suspicious or angry, the consequences could be dire.

It’s not something the Avengers Alliance could withstand right now.

With just a small error, the entire Avengers Alliance could be disbanded instantly, and people might even lose their lives.

As things stand, they don’t have the capability to contend with Hong Tao.

Because of Hong Yi, they are bound to fall out in the future, but now is not the time to tear the masks off.

Ten minutes later, everyone arrived at a remote place where there was a pitch-black cave.

”Yu Qiao and Yang Ningbing, you two keep watch. The rest, hurry up and digest the power within your bodies.”

Lin Feng said to the two, then entered the cave.

The cave was about five meters deep and three meters high, with dim lighting. Aside from some animal bones, some fur, and some charcoal on the ground, it was apparent that others had been here before. Finding a random spot to sit down, Lin Feng began refining the energy within his body.

The others also each found a spot to sit.

Yu Qiao stood stationary, his body twisting in the void and gradually dissipating, while Yang Ningbing slightly closed her eyes, letting the Mind Wind spread out, sensing her surroundings.

The medicinal power of spirit plants is generally mild, making absorption not painful. In less than half an hour, everyone stood up, feeling invigorated, their eyes shining, and their strength noticeably improved.

”I’ve opened three meridians in one go, almost reaching the late Lingyun stage.” Ye Xing said with delight.

The divisions of the martial arts realm are very straightforward and not complicated at all.

Whether it is body refinement or cultivation technique, the main goal is to open the veins.
