Chapter 441: 245 Spirit Monster (First Update)_2

Right now, in the apocalypse, food was the most crucial thing, and with Crystal Cores available to absorb, the advantages of the Spirit Gathering Array were no longer obvious.

Bai Ye entering the main hall was one thing, but if he discovered the situation outside, Fang Yuxin dared not even think whether he would be tempted.

However, Bai Ye was very self-aware. After entering the main hall, he just glanced around briefly and then stopped looking around. He obediently sat to the side, pulled a Crystal Core out from his pocket, and prepared to absorb it.

Because of the rush, these Crystal Cores were unpurified, and the remaining ones he left in the inn, which he couldn’t even think about for the time being.

Fang Yuxin cast a quick glance at him, pulled out a small bag, and tossed it to him. Inside the bag were one hundred purified Basic-level Crystal Cores. She also had Level 1 and even second-level Crystal Cores, but they were scarce, and she wanted to save them for her own absorption and couldn’t bear to give them to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye took the small bag, opened it, and immediately understood Fang Yuxin’s intention. He didn’t refuse, tucked away his own Crystal Cores, took out a purified one from the bag, and began absorbing it without asking Fang Yuxin how she planned to deal with the Ginseng Spirit.

Fang Yuxin could tell he was deliberately avoiding suspicion and also intended to restore his power as soon as possible. She stood up, deliberately carrying the Ginseng Spirit in her palm to a corner to avoid disturbing Bai Ye. Turning her back, she sat down and eased her fingers slightly to look at the Ginseng Spirit.

When she had entered the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion, she had tightly gripped the Ginseng Spirit in her palm, fearing it might escape as soon as they entered. The Spirit Mansion Space was large, and if the Ginseng Spirit intended to hide, it would not be easy for Fang Yuxin to find it again.

As soon as she loosened her grip, the Ginseng Spirit poked out its head, gasping for air with a red face, appearing to have been suffocated and shooting Fang Yuxin an accusing glance with its small eyes, saying, "Why did you grip so tightly? I wouldn’t have run away! Do you have any idea you almost suffocated me?"

Fang Yuxin narrowed her eyes and coldly watched it, speaking in an unfriendly tone, "If you dare spout more nonsense, I will stew you into soup; do you believe me?"

The Ginseng Spirit shuddered when it heard this and immediately became docile. Clearly, it understood Fang Yuxin’s meaning.

Fang Yuxin couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth and curiously asked, "How old are you?" Despite looking quite small, like a miniature baby, becoming a Plant Spirit, let alone a Ginseng Spirit, was not an easy feat.

Since ancient times, ginseng has been hailed as Divine Grass, and as a consequence, it had been harvested relentlessly. In many areas, wild ginseng was almost extinct, with only a few remaining in deep mountains.

Not only had it survived, it had even transformed into a spirit capable of understanding Fang Yuxin. This was definitely not something that could be achieved in a short period.

The Ginseng Spirit didn’t answer directly. It stared at Fang Yuxin for a while and, probably realizing she would not be fooled easily, said honestly, "Uh, I don’t know my exact age, but it has been several hundred years since I became conscious."

This number wasn’t a surprise to Fang Yuxin. Before the apocalypse, it wasn’t easy for a plant to gain consciousness.

Fang Yuxin nodded and continued, "Why did you summon me? Was that lightning in the sky related to you?" The thought that she couldn’t reunite with her family because of this creature inflamed Fang Yuxin’s anger.

The Ginseng Spirit, quite wary, sensed Fang Yuxin’s fury and quickly explained, "Those darned lightning bolts have nothing to do with me! I sensed that there was going to be an earthquake here, and I also sensed the pure Wood Energy on you, which is why I summoned you. I was hoping you would take me away, but before you found me, the lightning struck."

Its voiced carried a hint of resentment, as it seemed unhappy that Fang Yuxin was late.

Fang Yuxin, angered, pinched it and warned, "I’m in a bad mood right now, so you’d better not provoke me! Plus, if you want me to take you away, let’s make a pact. Either you acknowledge me as your master and listen to my orders, or I’ll stew you into soup!"

The Ginseng Spirit shook with fear and cautiously hugged Fang Yuxin’s finger, asking, "If...if I acknowledge you as my master, will you share some Wood Energy with me?"

It hadn’t lied earlier. It summoned Fang Yuxin because it had sensed the pure Wood Energy on her, and it knew that a natural disaster was imminent. It needed Fang Yuxin’s help to escape the catastrophe; otherwise, it risked annihilation and death.

Now that it had taken shelter in this mysterious space, its little life was temporarily safe. Therefore, it couldn’t resist the idea of partaking in the pure Wood Energy that Fang Yuxin possessed.

Fang Yuxin wasn’t angry. Ginseng was called Divine Grass for a reason. It was highly spiritual, and now it had become a spirit. If she could make it her servant, it would be perfect to manage the spirit field and Medicine Field, and nurture the Spirit Grass.

Plant Spirits had a natural advantage in caring for Spirit Plants. Now that Fang Yuxin had encountered one, it was too good an opportunity to pass up.

Seeing the cautious look on its face, Fang Yuxin felt that to make this little thing obedient, she needed to offer some incentives. She confirmed with a nod, "As long as you acknowledge me as master, I’ll certainly treat you well."

The Ginseng Spirit’s tiny eyes lit up upon hearing this, and it immediately said, "Please accept me as your servant, Master! I’ll be very good and very useful!" After speaking, it bashfully winked at Fang Yuxin.

Fang Yuxin wasn’t sure where it had learned this ingratiating behavior and twitched the corner of her mouth, no longer being polite with it, and swiftly set the pact in place.
