90,000 Years of Longevity

Chapter 218: Ginseng

Wood spirit?

In fact, he was not a human being.

The universe was born, and the chaos began.

In addition to the birth of human beings, Ye Bei knew very well that in this world, many other creatures had been born too.

Among them, Ye Bei remembered several of them clearly.

For example, there was a monkey who manifested out of a rock and later became a spirit, he could also talk and fight.

For example, there was a tree that had been battered by wind and rain, and its whole body had turned black. It had become a tree spirit. Every vine could move freely.

For example, Ye Bei once saw with a carp in the lake his own eyes. It lived for a long time and got an adventure. Finally, it crossed the water and became a dragon on the spot, swimming for nine days. 

In addition, there were also some herbs that gained wisdom by absorbing heaven and earth's Spiritual Energy, as well as sun and moon's Essence.

In that era, demons danced wildly.

All the proud sons of heaven gathered.

It was just that the long river of time, like an uninterrupted, endless stream, was quietly flowing all the time.

Ye Bei saw their birth with his own eyes.

Then, he saw with his own eyes those creatures that were born, in the track of time, for various reasons, they no longer existed.

The monkey held a golden stick in his hand, fighting against the heaven, fighting against the earth, rebellious and defiant, but in the end, he still went to the Western Heaven obediently, and then he practiced Buddhism, and finally settled in a cave. There was no trace, only rumors that he went to the depths of the universe.

That tree that lived for too long gradually became decayed. Once, Ye Bei passed by and found that in order to survive, it could only absorb all the surrounding Spiritual Energy and water sources, and this was undoubtedly a self-digging grave, and finally, the era around it became a desert, and it ultimately withered to death.

And that carp, in the age of mythology, became the dragon king in charge of one sea area, and with the demise of the age of mythology, he also disappeared.

The track of time was so terrible!

Maybe it was dead.

Perhaps it was turned into ashes.

Maybe it just disappeared. 

And the traces they had left was also being constantly polished by the slowly flowing stream.

In the end, it became the pebbles lying on both sides of the stream, smooth and without water chestnuts. Unless one walked back, that person wouldn't be able to find any traces of their existence. But still, even if one walked back, that person would find that everything was wrong.

As for Wood Spirit...

Ye Bei remembered clearly that he was a creature transformed from an herb after the end of the age of mythology.josei

As for why Ye Bei came to him this time… the reason was simple…

In this world, there were really not many people or creatures who could talk to Ye Bei, they were basically diluted by time.

But... Wood Spirit was one of them.

There were two points that Ye Bei cared about slightly.

First, there was not much time for Wood Spirit.

Second, Wood Spirit's level of wisdom and understanding of this world were much higher than those of the layman.

"I have lived long enough. You opened up such a small world for me so that my life span far exceeds that of ordinary creatures. It is also time to pay back this kindness. Regarding relic, I dare not ask for it! In this life, the woman in the past you were looking for reappears… If Sir confirms that it is her, you can put your thoughts into action." The old Wood Spirit still sat on the chair with a weak appearance.

Ye Bei listened but did not answer.

That indifferent gaze was just lightly placed on Wood Spirit's body.

Wood Spirit at this moment… had become completely old.

When sitting at the table, there was a sense of wisdom all over him.

He seemed to have seen through life and death, belittled everything, truly transcendent and sanctified.

"I have tried to do that before. It was before the age of mythology. I borrowed some spirit fruits to add life to the beauties who thought I could accompany, in order to live forever! But there are still many flaws in this!" Ye Bei said shook his head and sighed softly.

His eyes became deeper as he recalled some past events.

"Ah!" After hearing this, Wood Spirit sighed again. 

Then he heard Ye Bei said, "The so-called confidante is just a pink skull. Even if someone is destined, they will expose all kinds of contradictions in the course of time. The so-called mutual affection will always be something common people can do... After all, their lifespan can be sustained." 

"This is also one of the reasons!" Ye Bei's voice was faint, "The most important thing is, no matter what method I use, the final result is just to make them live for a while, as time goes by, they will grow old and die eventually... but the process becomes slower and it becomes more tormenting."

"Then... Sir, how are you going to do it this time?" Wood Spirit's voice became weaker and weaker.

Ye Bei thought for a moment before saying, "Let's look at her wish first. Immortality is what the laymen dream of, but only after experiencing it will you know that immortality is actually the most vicious curse."

"In short, I hope Your Honored One can find what he is looking for and the answer." On the seat, Wood Spirit's body became drier and drier, as more wrinkles began to appear on his hands, while vitality was also passing by at an extremely fast speed.

And Ye Bei just watched the situation quietly.

Those eyes were dull.

This kind of change in the eyes of mortals might be amazing and shocking.

But in Ye Bei's eyes, it was as ordinary as breathing. Hearing Wood Spirit's words, Ye Bei opened his mouth, his voice was emotionless, "Regarding this matter, I have my own judgment."

At this moment, the air in the courtyard became a little cold.

"Yes, Sir! I am too abrupt. With your wisdom, you will definitely do better." Wood Spirit noticed the change in Ye Bei, then his body trembled, and he realized that he had said too much, and also realized that he had taken the liberty. 

"Today, stop here." Ye Bei glanced at Wood Spirit.

When these words fell, Wood Spirit who was sitting in the lobby directly began to turn into grains of crystal light. 

Those rays of light were like dandelions, flying around constantly.

At this moment, the air was filled with a strong smell of medicine. 

When Ye Bei saw it, his complexion was still calm...

Standing in the courtyard, he stretched out his hand and let the crystal light fall on his white fingers, and then went in a little bit.

Three seconds later, Wood Spirit had completely disappeared.

No trace of people could be seen in the same place. 

Instead, a ginseng plant suspended in the air, its color was silvery-white, its size was that of a pinky finger.

Although this ginseng was not big, it was extremely delicate, with at least thousands of roots.

When suspended, those roots constantly twisted as if they had life.

Simultaneously, after that ginseng appeared, it flew towards Ye Bei's palm immediately.
