C940 ginseng king
However, even if there was an existence of a thousand year old ginseng king in this forest, those people only needed to act and fight for it. Why were they all hiding in the forest and not moving?
Yang Junshan thought for a while. He didn't pay any attention to the few thoughts of coming over to make contact, it finally reminded him of an interesting rumor.
Yang Junshan didn't know if this rumor was true or false, but he was saying that the older the spirit ginseng, the more intelligent it was. Sometimes, it was even possible for one to escape by themselves when sensing danger.
However, the Spirit Ginseng cultivated by the Yang Family was rarely older than a hundred years. Furthermore, every Spirit Ginseng would be protected by a special restriction when it matured, so it was not possible for the 'escape' of the 'Spirit Ginseng.
Could it be that the hidden cultivators in the mountain forest had not made a move because they were afraid that the thousand year old ginseng king would disappear?
Yang Junshan didn't believe it at all. At this moment, his soul remembrance was carefully expanding, trying to find even more spiritual ginseng of even greater age.
However, just as his soul remembrance caught sight of a 500 year old Spirit Ginseng that could even gather the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, just as he was secretly pleasantly surprised, his expression suddenly froze. That Spirit Ginseng had actually disappeared from his soul remembrance!
Did he really, really escape?
Yang Junshan's Soul Perception immediately centered on the location where the 500 year-old spiritual ginseng was located. It spread out to the surroundings and tried to track down the trace of the 500 year-old spiritual ginseng again.
This time, it did not matter. The 500 year-old Spirit Ginseng could not be found, and the 300 year-old Spirit Ginseng that was just discovered was not at its original location. Instead, it appeared under the shade of a tree that was previously searched by his soul consciousness.
The spiritual ginseng moved again, but Yang Junshan didn't seem surprised anymore. Instead, he calmed down and started thinking about the reason.
Perhaps these Spirit Ginseng really did have the instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. However, there was also the possibility that the array formations densely packed within the mountain forest were messing with them.
Earlier, although Yang Junshan had used the array in the forest to expel Song Yunguang, and seized his original position, the few hidden Daofathers believed that Yang Junshan had the skills of an array grandmaster.
In fact, Yang Junshan knew that although his attainments in array formations might be close to Grandmaster, he was still lacking a tiny bit of it. The reason he was able to borrow the power of the array formations in the mountains was mainly because of his cold eyes and the secret magic of array theft. He could easily find the weaknesses and loopholes in these array formations and make use of them.
Thinking about all this, Yang Junshan's soul consciousness once again began to circulate, but this time, it was not searching for spiritual ginseng in the forest, instead it merged into the veins of the tree next to him, and then went all the way down to the root of the tree. At this time, he would discover that the whole forest had formed a huge network of roots underground, and this network was the foundation of all the array formations and restrictions in the forest.
Of course, only an array master like Yang Junshan could identify the foundation of the formation, even if other cultivators could integrate their soul intents into the forest, they might not be able to do so.
Furthermore, Yang Junshan could feel that even the formations and restrictions formed by the underground root network were only a small part of a massive array system. With his mastery of array formation, although he could discover a much larger array system behind this array system, he didn't have the ability to discover it himself.
As a result, although he could not grasp the formation restrictions of this forest and could not see the whole picture, he could only observe a small part of the forest without affecting the operation of the formation, and quickly discovered the "escape" of the Spirit Ginseng through the roots.
One, two, three.
"Hmm?"
Yang Junshan was stunned.
Through the veins of the underground roots, Yang Junshan was able to grasp the positions of six Spirit Ginseng within a radius of 300 feet. Through the meridians of the underground roots, Yang Junshan was able to grasp the positions of six Spirit Ginseng within a radius of 300 feet.
However, just when Yang Junshan was trying to figure out whether he could expand the range of the search with the aid of the underground root network, he suddenly found a huge source of vitality, and this tyrannical vitality was surrounded by a network of roots which was much denser than other spiritual roots. These roots formed by countless plants firmly surrounded this huge amount of vitality, just like a huge cocoon.
Yang Junshan's soul consciousness tried to make contact with it, but it was blocked by his meridians. He couldn't even pinpoint the approximate location of the tremendous amount of life force!
Could that be where the thousand year old ginseng king was?
Yang Junshan's heart was burning with passion. While he was planning out a plan for the possibility of the existence of a thousand-year-old ginseng king, a wave of spiritual energy appeared in the forest, instantly attracting the attention of all the hidden cultivators.
"It's out!"
"Is there really such a spirited object?"
"Let's rely on our own methods!"
The forest was suddenly in an uproar, but Yang Junshan was slightly stunned. Although he wasn't able to pinpoint the location of the thousand-year-old ginseng king, he was sure that it wasn't the source of the Spiritual Energy fluctuation.
But why was this fluctuation of spiritual energy able to attract the attention of all the hidden cultivators?
Were they mistaken?
Yang Junshan immediately rejected this idea. He was not the only smart person in this world, not to mention there were other Daofathers hiding amongst them.
Could it be that his previous discovery wasn't that of a thousand year old ginseng king? Or could it be said that the Spiritual Energy fluctuation that had appeared represented a Spiritual Being that was above the thousand year Ginseng King?
"Hee hee!"
Just when Yang Junshan's mind was wavering, a crisp laughter suddenly sounded in the forest, instantly scattering the crisscrossing spiritual consciousness in the forest. Yang Junshan seemed to hear the breathing of those who were hiding!
Yang Junshan was shocked. He suddenly thought of a possibility and a look of disbelief appeared on his face. Could it be that there really was such a legendary existence?
Instantly, under Yang Junshan's soul perception, all the hidden existences in the forest started to move!
The originally stable Spiritual Energy of the world instantly began to stir violently. This was because someone was already preparing to make a move, and soon, a series of rumbling sounds could be heard from the forest. Someone had already started to fight, but they were doing their best to control the power of their attacks as if they were all afraid of each other.
Yang Junshan's soul perception could keenly sense the changes in the formations around the forest, like many bows that were being pulled, ready to burst at any time. Everyone also seemed to know that there was a limit to the formations in the forest, and when fighting, everyone was trying their best to keep their powers within a certain range.
"Giggle!"
The crisp laughter continued to reverberate in the forest. The origin of the laughter was erratic, as if it didn't care about the danger in the forest at all.
Yang Junshan sent his soul consciousness into his underground root system, only to find that his originally stable meridian was now agitated like never before.
Yang Junshan was silent for a while. His figure flashed in the forest, and he arrived at the location where the 100-year-old spiritual ginseng was found.
A palm-sized spiritual ginseng, along with its usual whiskers, began to slowly appear from the soil. A moment later, a complete spiritual ginseng was dug out from the ground by Yang Junshan, who then used the Spirit Sealing Technique to carefully seal each of the ginseng's whiskers. Only then did he put this spiritual ginseng into a Spirit Sealing Box.
However, after putting the ginseng away, Yang Junshan didn't go to dig for other ginseng. Instead, he looked at the pile of earth that was coming out from the ground with an uncertain look on his face.
Yang Junshan's soul perception could sense that there were at least three spiritual senses observing his position. In the end, Yang Junshan chose to quietly turn around and leave.
The battles in the forest became more and more intense as muffled groans and low curses rang out incessantly. The Spiritual Energy fluctuations that were being suppressed became more and more difficult to control. The fight in the forest was on the verge of losing control.
Yang Junshan's figure flashed and arrived at the location of the 300-year-old spiritual ginseng.
However, just as he bent down to dig, a dry branch suddenly fell from the tree above his head, then turned into a flying sword and flew straight towards Yang Junshan's head.
However, Yang Junshan didn't seem to notice the danger above his head and still squatted down.
Crack!
The flying sword pierced into Yang Junshan's body, but it seemed to pierce through a phantom.
"How could that be?"
A surprised voice came from behind the tree.
Yang Junshan was still squatting on the ground like before, however, he was separated from his original position by a distance of more than one zhang, and that 300-year-old spiritual ginseng was also in front of him, along with the churning of the soil, even those hair-thin whiskers had been tidied up. The originally seven inch long spiritual ginseng, if added with the huge spiritual ginseng, would probably be expanded by three chi.
In just a split-second, this 300-year-old spiritual ginseng was already in his hand, and that flying sword agilely made a turn in the air, silently stabbing towards Yang Junshan's back.
Yang Junshan still didn't feel it. He stood up and took two steps forward. The flying sword pierced through another giant tree again, but Yang Junshan had already disappeared.
From the beginning to the end, Yang Junshan didn't even open his eyes to look at the person who had assaulted him. This sort of silent contempt caused that sword cultivator to feel a deep sense of humiliation, but at the same time, he also felt a trace of fear.
Could this be the strength of a formation master?
The sword cultivator reached out to recall his flying sword, and after protecting his body, he carefully walked out of the forest. He didn't even care about the Spirit Ginseng in the forest.0
At this time, Yang Junshan was standing at the location where he had sensed the 500 year-old spiritual ginseng. However, the spiritual ginseng was now missing, and even if Yang Junshan had penetrated the roots, he wouldn't have been able to find it.
In the end, he found traces of soil being moved in a crevice of a tree. The Spirit Ginseng had already been taken by someone.
"Ha ha!"
The crisp laughter continued to reverberate in the forest.
