Fang Lin had a smile on his face as he grabbed onto the legs of the ginseng.

“What are you doing? What are YOU doing? I warn you, don’t mess around!” The millennium-old corpse ginseng suddenly panicked, grinning and shouting incoherently.

Fang Lin chuckled, then suddenly exerted force with his hands. Instantly, the thousand-year-old corpse ginseng let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

“Don’t pull! Don’t pull! My legs are about to break! Ah, it hurts so much!” The millennium-old corpse ginseng wailed, its eyes almost rolling back into its head.

However, after pulling for a while, Fang Lin still wasn’t able to rip the legs off the thousand-year-old corpse ginseng.

Understandably, Fang Lin found this peculiar. He didn’t exert that much force, but the ginseng was extremely tough, similar to old cowhide – both old and hard.

Fang Lin let go of its legs, grabbed its body, and started smashing it on the ground.

“You damned bastard! You will get your karma! You will be cursed by heavens! You will have no place to bury your body!”

“I am telling you! Your actions are dangerous. If you piss me off, I will bury you alive!”

“Scoundrel, stop smashing me, my head is splitting open!”

Fang Lin smashed him around for a good while, and the ginseng didn’t stop cursing. However, even after all that smashing, not a bit of skin came off the thousand-year-old corpse ginseng.

Now, Fang Lin understood that this thousand-year corpse ginseng wasn’t ordinary. He probably won’t be able to damage it easily.

“Are you a ginseng or a rock? How could you be so hard?” Holding it in his hand, Fang Lin studied it curiously.

The thousand year corpse ginseng rolled its eyes: “You are the rock! Your whole family is made of rocks! I’m a ginseng, do you know that? It seems like you don’t know with your yokel looks.”

Fang Lin chuckled: “Aren’t you just a Corpse Ginseng that has absorbed corpse energy?”

The thousand year corpse ginseng snorted, with a disdainful look: “What do you know? Even before I absorbed the corpse energy, I was a ginseng. Besides, I’ve been alive for a thousand years, so in terms of seniority, you should call me ancestor!”

Amused, Fang Lin wondered if this thousand-year-old corpse ginseng had lived too long and was now taking liberties with him.

Without hesitation, Fang Lin raised his left hand, a blue flame appearing. It was the Soul Commanding Pill Fire.

Fang Lin held the thousand-year-old corpse ginseng and gradually brought it closer to the flame.

“Hey, hey, hey! Don’t do this, can’t we negotiate?” The thousand-year-old corpse ginseng seemed to be extremely afraid of fire. Seeing the Soul Commanding Pill Fire in Fang Lin’s hand, it immediately wilted.

Fang Lin remained silent, simply bringing the ginseng closer to the flame.

The thousand-year-old corpse ginseng’s face turned into one of horror, it struggled violently, and suddenly a burst of strength sprang out, managing to escape Fang Lin’s grasp and fall to the ground, then taking off running.

However, it hadn’t gotten far before a powerful force sucked it back amidst startled cries.

Fang Lin was holding a small, exquisite gourd, pointed at the thousand-year corpse ginseng, with the sucking power coming from the gourd.

“No!!!” The thousand-year-old corpse ginseng screamed, transforming into a ray of light and being sucked into the gourd.

Fang Lin closed the gourd in one fell swoop and smiled contentedly. This Universe Gourd gifted to him by the Ice Emperor seemed to be quite useful.

“You’re so noisy, I might as well refine you into nothingness, it would save me a lot of annoyance.” Fang Lin spoke to the thousand-year corpse ginseng inside the Universe Gourd.

The Universe Gourd had a potent formation within it that could refine any living creature sucked into it into puss, a terrifying prospect. Basically, once you were sucked in, there was no way out.

“I was wrong! I really was! Let me out! I won’t babble anymore!”

“Young man, I can see that you are exceptional. If you let me out, I will teach you a unique and marvelous technique!”

“If you let me out, I will take you as my junior.”

Fang Lin did not actually want to refine the thousand-year-old corpse ginseng. After confining it for a while, he let it out.

Nevertheless, the thousand-year-old corpse ginseng was scared to the core, no longer daring to talk nonsense as before.

“Look at you, wouldn’t it be better to be honest from the start? It would have saved you a lot of suffering.” Fang Lin beamed, his face harmless as ever.

The look on the thousand-year-old corpse ginseng was beyond aggrieved. It was after all a thousand-year-old ginseng and it had fallen in the hands of this detestable kid.

“Let me ask you, how many years have you actually lived?” Fang Lin asked.

The thousand-year-old corpse ginseng hemmed and hawed, not answering for a long time.

Fang Lin was not polite, and directly took out the Universe Gourd, threatening to suck it up again.

“Don’t use the gourd, I’ll tell you, I’ve been alive for three thousand years!” The thousand-year-old corpse ginseng hastily exclaimed. It was genuinely afraid of the Universe Gourd.

Upon hearing that, a shock hit Fang Lin’s heart. So this was a three-thousand-year-old corpse ginseng, no wonder it was so extraordinary.

For every thousand years a ginseng lives, its worth skyrockets, dramatically increasing its value.

For instance, a two-thousand-year-old ginseng’s value is at least ten times that of a one-thousand-year-old ginseng.

“Why are you capable of absorbing corpse energy?” Fang Lin probed further.

This question stumped the ginseng, and it scratched its head for a while before answering, “I’m not sure. It seems like I could already absorb corpse energy when I gained sentience.”

Fang Lin glared at it: “Stop calling yourself grandpa. Who’s grandpa are you?” freёnovelkiss.com

The thousand-year-old corpse ginseng showed an awkward expression, scratching its bald head: “It’s a habit, just a habit.”

Fang Lin pondered for a minute before asking, “Do you know where that Old Dried Corpse came from?”

The thousand-year-old corpse ginseng promptly shook its head: “I don’t know anything about that Old Salted Fish. I only know that it’s powerful. I once saw it getting up and almost died of fright.”

Fang Lin frowned slightly but didn’t obsess over this question.

All this time, the thousand-year-old corpse ginseng had been carefully watching Fang Lin’s expression, its eyes darting around, seemingly plotting something.

“So… can I ask a small question?” The thousand-year-old corpse ginseng suddenly piped up.

Fang Lin smiled: “Of course.”

The thousand-year-old corpse ginseng gave him a pleading look: “Can you let me go?”

Fang Lin was still grinning: “No.”

The thousand-year-old corpse ginseng lost all hope, as Fang Lin genuinely had no intention of letting it go. However, for the moment, he had no idea what to do with it.

After all, its body was filled with corpse energy, so it was inedible. Using it for Pill Refining also seemed impractical.

However, while Fang Lin was off guard, the thousand-year-old corpse ginseng ran off to nibble on the medicinal herbs in the medicinal garden.

Within moments, a large patch of medicinal herbs had been nibbled clean by it, enraging Fang Lin who immediately thrashed it on the ground for an hour.

“Fang Lin, what are you doing?” Just as Fang Lin was pounding the thousand-year-old corpse ginseng into the ground, Han Yinyue suddenly visited, her face full of surprise as she watched Fang Lin and the thousand-year-old corpse ginseng in the courtyard.frёewebnoѵēl.com
