Chapter 59: Ginseng Fruit Tree
Under the instigation of the Lord of the Black City, the monks and celestial beings present were ready to take action again.
Seeing this scene, Su Xing had a strange expression and said: "Hao Qiu Yi, this 'Ling Feng San' of yours can only seal spells, so what's the use to me?"
"What do you mean?" The Lord of Black City was stunned when he heard this, feeling an inexplicable foreboding in his heart.
"You may have some misunderstanding."
In the lobby of the city lord's mansion.
While Su Xing was speaking, his entire body gradually became translucent.
He held the Qingxiao Sword and looked around with extremely arrogant eyes: "Actually, many of my abilities cannot be considered spells."
Su Xing's 'enchantment' is so weird that even Lei Yunzi, a late-stage foundation-building monk, is unwilling to challenge his edge.
In the hall.
Wherever Su Xing looked, all the monks and gods lowered their heads, fearing that they would be the first to be targeted by Su Xing.
"How can it be?"
Seeing that Su Xing was still able to use that extremely weird 'transformation' ability, the Lord of the Black City showed an unbelievable look in his eyes.
The 'Fengling Powder' he mixed into Su Xing's wine was a poison passed down from generation to generation in the family, specifically for monks.
This medicine does not contain any toxicity. Its function is to block all the spiritual veins in the monk's body, preventing his spiritual power from functioning normally.
And as everyone knows.
The more non-toxic a drug is, the more difficult it is for ordinary people to identify it when taking it.
This 'Fengling Powder' is something that monks cannot guard against just because of its non-toxic properties.
Relying on this 'Sealing Spirit Powder', the Lord of the Black City has killed countless foundation-building monks, many of whom are extremely talented.
But what he didn't expect was that the 'Feng Ling San', which had always been invincible, actually failed when dealing with Su Xing!
The Lord of Black City couldn't accept it for a moment. He looked at Su Xing and said with a look of despair, "What kind of ability do you have?"
"you guess...."
Seeing the bitter look on the Black City Lord's face, Su Xing became confident.
He asked: "If you fail to kill me as ordered by Heaven, what will be the consequences? Will you be killed by an immortal who goes to the upper world?"
"That's not true, but it is no different from being killed." The Lord of Black City replied helplessly: "Once they fail to complete the instructions from Heaven, they will cut off the supply of life-span medicine. Without the life-span medicine, we people can't do anything.
He won’t live long.”
The Black City Lord's answer reminded Su Xing of the fate of the three leaders of Lingzhou.
He asked: "Without the life-span medicine, you can just run away. Why do you need to stay in this black city all the time?"
"Escape? How to escape?"
The Lord of the Black City smiled bitterly and said: "The surface of this desert is full of dragon sand scroll monsters. Even the monks in the foundation building stage only have a 30% chance of crossing the desert."
Su Xing asked the Lord of the Black City. It seemed that he was thinking about everyone, but in fact he was looking for a way out for himself.
Since ancient times, it has been said that only a thousand days can catch a thief, but there is no such thing as a thousand days to prevent a thief.
Due to the existence of a wanted order from heaven, Su Xing, the black city, cannot stay for long, but it is too dangerous to go out directly from the desert.
Although Su Xing has the ability of "transformation" and can save his life after encountering the dragon sand scroll, he will be taken to an unknown location along with the dragon sand scroll.
If this unknown place were like Heicheng, it would be okay.
But if you are in a deserted land, or an area where monsters are rampant, whether you can survive really depends on your luck.
Therefore, leaving the desert surface is not a wise move.
It's best to leave this desert by other means.
the other side.
Hearing the conversation between Su Xing and the Black City Lord, Lei Yunzi suddenly said: "Actually, it's not completely impossible to leave this desert."
"Is there any other way?" Su Xing asked.
Before Lei Yunzi could answer, the Lord of Black City took over and said, "Friend Lei Yunzi's solution is the ginseng fruit tree in the desert, right?"
Ginseng fruit tree?
Su Xing was stunned when he heard this, and immediately thought of the plot in "Journey to the West" again.
First the monkey in the ground, and then the ginseng fruit tree. Could it be that I really traveled to the world of Journey to the West?
But the question is, what does the ginseng fruit tree have to do with leaving the desert?
Su Xing asked in confusion: "Is that ginseng fruit tree you are talking about a magical thing that can bear fruit for several decades and eat it to live as long as heaven and earth?"
"I don't know where you heard this from." The Lord of Black City smiled bitterly and said, "How could there be such a fruit in this world?
He began to explain to Su Xing: "I wonder if Su Daoyou has ever heard that a single tree can make a forest?"
"Of course I've heard of this."
Su Xing asked in reply: "What? The ginseng fruit tree is self-contained and grows directly into an oasis in the desert?"
"No, not just Oasis."
The Lord of the Black City shook his head and said: "To be precise, the fruit tree has become a whole on its own, forming another world directly on the desert."
It is different from what Su Xing knew about the ‘ginseng fruit tree’ in the world of Journey to the West.
The ginseng fruit trees in this world are extremely huge, with trunks thousands of meters high and hundreds of meters in diameter.
This tree is not afraid of fire, water, spells, weapons, or any other external attack.
besides.
The most amazing thing is that there are countless ginseng fruits growing on the branches of this tree, which have the effect of extending human life.
Ginseng fruit can prolong life, which is somewhat similar to the plot in "Journey to the West".
Hearing this, Su Xing asked: "So, you are going to take the risk to pick the 'ginseng fruit' from that tree, and then use those fruits to replace the longevity medicine?"
"Fellow Daoist Su misunderstood."
Lei Yunzi explained: "Ginseng fruit is not really a fruit, but a fruit-shaped house the size of a house."
After Lei Yunzi's narration, Su Xing finally knew:
Although ginseng fruit does have the effect of extending life, it does not extend your life by eating the fruit, you have to live in it.
People who live inside the ginseng fruit can delay the decrease in life span to a great extent.
The older they are, the weaker the delaying effect will be.
The higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the delaying effect.
And when the resident is young and has high cultivation level, not only will his life span not be consumed after moving in, but his life span will even increase slowly.
This characteristic is similar to that of life-span medicine.
Precisely because ginseng fruit can prolong life, over time, a huge human city has been formed on this fruit tree.
A city built on ginseng fruit trees.
"well,"
When he said this, the Lord of the Black City sighed: "This is also a desperate choice. Although the ginseng fruit tree can also extend life, it is someone else's territory after all, and it is far from the freedom of this Black City... If it is not a last resort,
I don’t want to go to that tree.”
The 'last resort' mentioned by the Lord of Black City refers to the failure to kill Su Xing.
After listening to what the Lord of Black City and Lei Yunzi said to each other, Su Xing also roughly understood the situation on the ginseng fruit tree.
He guessed: "From your description, the fruits on the ginseng tree should not be suitable for everyone, right?"
"Of course."
The Lord of Black City replied: "The monks at the bottom cannot afford those ginseng fruits, so they can only spend some spiritual stones to rent them... And the mortals who are worse than the monks at the bottom can only sleep on tree trunks.
On the branches and leaves, they are not even qualified to rent."
The implication of the Lord of the Black City is that a person in a high position like him can still afford the ginseng fruit and live a comfortable life even if he goes to the ginseng fruit tree.
"This is not much different from what I expected." After hearing what the Lord of Black City said, Su Xing was completely relieved.
He didn't care who could afford the fruit tree.
The only thing Su Xing cared about was whether he could continue to sell longevity medicine after visiting the ginseng fruit tree.
