Chapter 516: Chapter 243: Binding the Herbs and Pearls at the Small Temple, Refining the Elixir of Eternal Youth

Chen Shi returned to Qianyang Mountain, which happened two days later.

On the night he returned to Huangpo Village, a large-headed little ghost emerged from Qianyang Mountain and walked toward Huangpo Village, accompanied by a Lantern Ghost, with a lantern-like head hanging from its neck for illumination.

The little ghost arrived outside Huangpo Village and offered incense to the foster mother Sangyu, inquiring, "Sister Sangyu, has Chen Jieyuan returned?"

Sangyu, having accepted the incense, said, "Lord Jieyuan said he is not here, you should go back."

The little ghost acknowledged with a sound and led the Lantern Ghost back to report.

At the Chen Family home.

Chen Shi was using the Judge Dragon Whisker Pen to trace the Luotian Dajiao on the Hua Gai. Hearing the conversation between Sangyu and the little ghost, he said to the Black Pot, "The lord of Wuwang has waited for fourteen hundred years; what’s another two days more? As soon as I return, he sends a little ghost to hurry me."

His trip to the great southern lake aimed to find the nib of the Judge Dragon Whisker Pen and merge it with the Wuwang Spear to recreate the Judge’s Pen and prolong the lord of Wuwang’s life.

The journey to the great southern lake was exceedingly fruitful for Chen Shi. Not only did he find the Judge’s Pen, but he also acquired the Youquan Wandering Dragon Sword, wiped out a significant power under the young master’s command that lived off grave-digging—the Banshan Sect.

Moreover, another significant power under the young master, the Fuzheng Pavilion, suffered heavy blows.

Furthermore, the Stone Rock Lady was now one step closer to restoring her True Body!

If the Stone Rock Lady were to remove her head now, her remaining body would be nearly as tall as a normal woman, no longer like an ant.

He had also enshrined the Holy King of Open Glory, reassembled the divine minister, and learned about the relics of prehistoric times.

But more importantly, Chen Shi finally met the Yin Commander Ah Zhuo!

Ah Zhuo was like his own uncle; the days he spent with Ah Zhuo were the most relaxing he had.

Battered by his journey, he hadn’t rested yet when the lord of Wuwang sent someone to find him, probably for the Judge Dragon Whisker Pen, making Chen Shi somewhat angry. He deliberately let Sangyu send the little ghost away.

"The Judge Dragon Whisker Pen is really useful."

Chen Shi traced the Hua Gai once and said to the Black Pot, which was sprawled on the ground.

The Hua Gai, which depicted the Luotian Dajiao, used up too much Black Dog Blood. After Chen Shi drew blood from the Black Pot, it was now listless and fell into a deep sleep after eating a couple bites of Exotic Beast Meat.

Chen Shi worried over the Black Pot, checked it, and found it was just asleep, which provided him some relief.

He mounted the Hua Gai on the wooden cart, which would provide shade during travel and, given the Hua Gai’s immense power, could be plucked at any time to be raised as a talismanic weapon.

Although it was a talismanic weapon, its power was not weaker than ordinary Magical Treasures. Once raised, it would cover an area of about an acre!

With twelve hundred deities suppressing it, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning were at his command—it could be considered the strongest Nascent Soul force field!

If combined with the Youquan Wandering Dragon Sword for Sacrificial Refinement, the sword would weave under the Hua Gai, maneuvering between the Yin Yang Two Realms, it could be said that Chen Shi was invincible within his realm!

Even Divinity Transformation Realm powerhouses trespassing the Hua Gai’s range would face extreme peril and might perish with the slightest carelessness!

"And the wooden cart needs new talismans drawn, ideally with the protection of Six Ding and Six Jia, and it should be equipped with talismans for wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and for repelling water and fire."

Chen Shi glanced at the Black Pot and thought, "Just today is not the day for it."

The next day, the Black Pot still lacked spirit, unable to have blood drawn.

After paying respects to his grandfather, foster mother, and Zhu Xiucai, Chen Shi immediately drove his cart in the direction of Xuan Shan.

"Little Ten is back!"

Passing by Granny Zhuang’s hut, Granny Zhuang asked, "Where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?"

Chen Shi offered her incense and smiled, "I am going to see the ginseng grass."

Granny Zhuang said, "Recently, some cultivators discovered the traces of the little fruits and planned to uproot them to refine life-prolonging Spiritual Medicine. They are hiding now."

In the mountains, there were often ginseng guests who specialize in harvesting ginseng and spiritual plants. Usually, they harvested sentient Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Roots, and once harvested, they would be taken to the city to be sold to the gentry for prolonging life.

Qianyang Mountain also had many such ginseng guests.

Chen Shi wondered, "Where are they hiding?"

Suddenly, a dozen heads poked out from under Granny Zhuang’s skirt—those tiger-headed ginseng grass fruits from the forest.

They crawled out from under Granny Zhuang’s skirt and climbed onto Chen Shi. Some sat on his shoulders, some lay on the back of his head, while others clung to his body.

One of the ginseng grasses stood on Chen Shi’s chest, holding his face with solemnity, babbling with questions, asking if Chen Shi had eaten properly during this time.

When Chen Shi achieved the Holy Embryo Body, he had collapsed several times due to hunger and owed his life to their ginseng grass fruits, which these ginseng children clearly remembered.

"I’ve eaten on time!"

Chen Shi picked it off and told Granny Zhuang, "Granny, keeping them with you is not a long-term solution. My small temple at the back of my head has sunlight, and there is a plot of land in front of the temple. It’s better to let the ginseng grass live in my little temple for now."

Granny Zhuang was delighted, "That’s wonderful. These days they’ve been giving me a headache with their noise. If you’re willing to take them in, you’ll spare me a lot of trouble!"

With a thought, Chen Shi illuminated his small temple with divine light, taking in these ginseng children.

With each radish in its hole, these large-headed children were planted outside the temple, only their heads poking through.

Sunlight shone from within the small temple, casting upon them. The large-headed ginseng roots grew to over a meter tall, sparsely dotted with a few red fruits.

Chen Shi was intent on harnessing the Righteous Qi of the sun, moon, and stars to cultivate the ginseng grass. So he stirred the Eight Golden Gates, and the rich Spirit Qi of the sun, moon and stars flowed toward these ginseng grass roots.

Stone Rock Lady’s cultivation had improved a lot, and when operating the Eight Golden Gates, the conversion speed of the Three Light Righteous Qi increased by fifty to sixty percent more than before!
