Hong Huang: I am Kong Xuan, the first person above the saints

Chapter 55 Ginseng Fruit Tree
Kong Xuan nodded when he heard this. He knew that Zhen Yuanzi's discussion of magical powers with him was fake, and he probably wanted to talk to him alone about how to save the ginseng fruit tree.

However, Kong Xuan was still somewhat surprised that Zhen Yuanzi's comprehension of the magical power of the universe was actually related to the space teleportation array.

At this moment, Kong Xuan finally understood why Zhen Yuanzi in Zixiao Palace would help him.

The source is actually here.

Not long after, the two Taoist boys Qingfeng and Mingyue brought the ginseng fruits. Two ginseng fruits were placed on each tray in front of the six people.

Kong Xuan's eyes were on the ginseng fruit in front of him. The ginseng fruit was crystal clear, like a baby less than three days old, and exuded a faint herbal fragrance.

Kong Xuan couldn't help but think of the records of ginseng fruit in later generations.

Ginseng fruit, also known as Cao Huandan, blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, takes another three thousand years to ripen, and takes at least ten thousand years to be edible.

It seems that in these ten thousand years, only thirty fruits have been produced. The appearance of the fruits is like a child under three dynasties, with all four limbs and five senses.

If a person is lucky enough to smell the fruit, he will live 360 ​​years old; if he eats one, he will live 47,000 years.

In the mythology of Journey to the West, the ginseng fruit seems to have only one function, which is to increase lifespan.

But at this moment, Kong Xuan just took a look at the two ginseng fruits in front of him and knew that its function was not as simple as increasing lifespan, or in other words, increasing lifespan was just an additional function.

As for why only this function remains in later generations, it may be related to the continuous loss of the origin of the ginseng fruit tree.

As the essence of the ginseng fruit tree continues to be lost, its efficacy will inevitably decrease.

"Fellow Taoists, please——"

Zhen Yuanzi picked up a ginseng fruit and gestured to everyone.

Kong Xuan picked up the ginseng fruit, took a bite, and felt a powerful life energy spreading in his body.

"what!"

A strange look flashed in Kong Xuan's eyes.

Kong Xuan discovered that the life energy in the ginseng fruit had a stimulating effect on the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Gong. The moment this life energy entered the body, the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Gong immediately began to operate rapidly and actively.

A quarter of an hour later, the life energy contained in the ginseng fruit was completely refined, and the speed of the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Gong also slowed down.

After sensing the changes in his body, Kong Xuan nodded slightly. That moment was equivalent to a thousand years of hard practice.

After opening his eyes, Kong Xuan saw that everyone else was still closing their eyes to refine the life energy contained in the ginseng fruit, so he swallowed another ginseng fruit.

This time it also took a quarter of an hour, and after he completely refined the life energy in the second ginseng fruit, the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Gong also broke through from the early fifth revolution to the middle fifth revolution.

Kong Xuan had a look of satisfaction on his face at this moment. He had been fascinated by the ginseng fruit when he watched Journey to the West in his later life. Now his wish from his previous life had come true.

However, it seemed that he had become Zhu Bajie. After eating two ginseng fruits, he couldn't even taste what the ginseng fruits tasted like.

At this moment, the others had not yet finished refining their first ginseng fruit.

This ginseng fruit not only contains tremendous life energy, but also contains fragments of the laws of life. If you can comprehend one or two of them, you may be able to strengthen your own life source.

Therefore, everyone was refining the life energy in the ginseng fruit while comprehending the fragments of the law of life.

But Kong Xuan didn't have to go through so much trouble.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique is essentially a continuous transformation of oneself. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the path of life evolution. All the fragments of the laws of life in the ginseng fruit have been refined and integrated into his body.

However, at this moment, Zhen Yuanzi opened his eyes and looked at Kong Xuan. After a slight pause, he transmitted his voice:
"Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, follow me." As soon as he finished speaking, a force of space enveloped Zhen Yuanzi, and he disappeared in an instant.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan also wrapped himself with the power of space and disappeared instantly.

Under the ginseng fruit tree.

Zhen Yuanzi and Kong Xuan appeared almost at the same time.

The ginseng fruit tree stands not far away, with a thick trunk and lush branches and leaves. However, if you look closely, you can find that the edges of the leaves are slightly yellow and there are some tiny cracks on the branches.

Zhen Yuanzi walked quickly to the ginseng fruit tree, stroked the trunk gently, his face full of regret.

Zhen Yuanzi looked solemn as he looked at the ginseng fruit tree and spoke slowly, "Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, I came here alone to find you because of an emergency. The condition of the ginseng fruit tree is getting worse. Although I have tried many methods, there is still no improvement."

"I understand." Kong Xuan nodded.

He approached the ginseng fruit tree, stretched out his right hand and placed it on the trunk of the ginseng fruit tree, and instantly felt the weakness inside the ginseng fruit tree.

After all, the energy of life is radiating outwards all the time, and even the top ten innate spiritual roots cannot withstand it.

Of course, this is also thanks to Zhen Yuanzi using the Book of Earth to forcibly suppress the origin of the ginseng fruit tree, otherwise the ginseng fruit tree would not spread the energy of life, but the origin of the ginseng fruit tree.

As soon as the thought came to him, Kong Xuan communicated with the World Tree in the Five Elements World. Soon, streams of original energy flowed along his palms towards the ginseng fruit tree.

The ginseng fruit tree trembled slightly, as if it was extremely eager for the original energy, releasing a suction force.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan knew that the original energy was useful, so he increased the supply.

Soon, the originally yellowed leaves seemed to show signs of recovery, and the tiny cracks on the branches stopped spreading.

Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi's eyes showed surprise and he looked at Kong Xuan with expectation.

And Kong Xuan did not disappoint Zhen Yuanzi. As Kong Xuan continuously sent the original energy into the ginseng fruit tree, the cracks on the trunk of the ginseng fruit tree healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually disappeared completely.

Kong Xuan's forehead also showed beads of sweat. He withdrew his right hand, his face slightly pale as he said, "Daoyou Zhen Yuanzi, I am glad to have fulfilled my mission."

Of course, Kong Xuan was just pretending. He didn't actually consume anything. But if he acted as if nothing had happened, it would seem that he was too relaxed.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist Kong Xuan." Zhen Yuanzi bowed deeply to Kong Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, ginseng fruit matures once every ten thousand years. I am willing to give you ten ginseng fruits every ten thousand years as a reward."

"Ten."

Kong Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he was really moved.

This ginseng fruit has a great auxiliary effect on the practice of the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Gong, and now that the origin of the ginseng fruit tree has been restored, the ginseng fruit it produces will definitely be even better.

After hesitating for a while, Kong Xuan said, "Daoyou Zhen Yuanzi, as far as I know, this ginseng fruit tree only produces thirty ginseng fruits in ten thousand years. Is it too much to give me ten every time..."

"In fact, my ginseng fruit tree bears 36 fruits every ten thousand years. It is only because the origin of the ginseng fruit tree was damaged that it only bears 30 fruits. Now that the origin has been restored, the number of fruits will naturally recover."

Then it'll be fine.

"Then I'd be remiss to refuse." Kong Xuan agreed readily.

"Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, let's go back! I think Fellow Daoist Fuxi and the others should have almost completely refined the first ginseng fruit." Zhen Yuanzi said.
