No hope for eternal life

Chapter 417 News about the Heavenly Soul Ginseng

The joining of Feng Ze and Shen Xu was a turning point for the entire battle. The attacking monks had been attacking for so long without gaining any benefit. Finally, some of them could not hold back any longer and chose to leave. Instead of wasting time here, it would be better to go outside and search for other opportunities and treasures.

The departure of the first person immediately caused an avalanche effect. People began to leave one after another. The numerical advantage of the attacking side was soon gone, which led to more people leaving. Within a moment, all the attacking monks had dispersed.

Qianji Pavilion won the battle to defend the medium-sized spirit stone mine. Deputy Pavilion Master Xie Sihong took the lead in commanding the monks in the pavilion to build a chain formation to protect the spirit stone mine. They had been attacked just now and had no time to arrange it. After the formation is built, it will not be broken by anyone except a cultivator in the eighth realm. They will no longer be afraid of a group of Divine Sea and Tribulation Crossing monks coming to rob.

After arranging all this, Xie Sihong began to express his gratitude to Mu Changsheng and the others. In addition to thanking them verbally, he also gave each of them two thousand top-grade spirit stones.

Mu Changsheng didn't think that two thousand top-grade spirit stones were too little. After all, he only helped for an hour. Earning two thousand top-grade spirit stones in one hour was already very good. Moreover, there were hundreds of non-Qianji Pavilion cultivators who came to help. Two thousand per person meant nearly two hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones. If there were more, Qianji Pavilion would suffer a loss.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master." Mu Changsheng thanked him and was about to leave with Mo Xingkui and the others, but suddenly he received a voice message from Xie Sihong: "I heard that you have been looking for information about the Heavenly Soul Ginseng. Do you need any Heavenly Soul Ginseng?"

Mu Changsheng was stunned at first, then his face showed joy. Qianji Pavilion and Tianling Sect had a close relationship, so it was not surprising that the other party knew that he was looking for Tianhun ginseng. But Xie Sihong suddenly mentioned this, obviously knowing the news about Tianhun ginseng. In addition, Qianji Pavilion was originally engaged in intelligence business, which gave Mu Changsheng great hope.

So, Mu Changsheng quickly sent a voice message back: "I am indeed in urgent need of Heavenly Soul Ginseng. Senior, do you have any news about Heavenly Soul Ginseng?"

"Yes." Xie Sihong replied in a voice transmission, giving Mu Changsheng a positive answer: "I have reliable information. Elder Shengu of Tianshui Realm just got a Tianhun ginseng not long ago."

"Old Man Shengu." Mu Changsheng silently repeated the name in his heart. He had heard of this name a long time ago because the other party was a rare eighth-level cultivator.

"Senior, do you know where the old man Shengu is now?" Mu Changsheng asked again in a voice transmission. He couldn't wait to find the old man Shengu. He had to get the Tianhun Ginseng for Yang Wuque to heal his wounds.

Among the three divine objects that can allow people to cultivate again, the Heavenly Soul Ginseng is undoubtedly the most effective. If you miss it today, you may never find it again in the future.

Seeing that Mu Changsheng was asking so anxiously, Xie Sihong immediately gave an answer: "He has a private residence on Zhongzhou Island in Tianshui Realm. If you go there to look for him, you can at least find his clone."

"Thank you for telling me, senior. I will definitely keep it in mind." Mu Changsheng said with gratitude. He offered a reward of one thousand top-grade spirit stones just for the information about the Heavenly Soul Ginseng. Xie Sihong told him the news directly for free.

At the same time, Mu Changsheng's black-clad clone who was far away on Xiawei Island in Tianshui Realm immediately set off and rushed to Zhongzhou Island. What he was most worried about now was that before he found Old Man Shengu, the other party had already used the Tianhun Ginseng.

For this purpose, Mu Changsheng's original body who stayed in Tianling Sect also went out. He contacted Elder Gao Chong of Zhongzhou Island through Elder Li Mubai and asked Elder Gao Chong to help contact Elder Shengu and ask him to make sure to keep the Tianhun ginseng.

It was not until Mu Changsheng received news from Elder Gao Chong that Elder Shengu's Tianhun ginseng was still intact that Mu Changsheng finally put his mind at ease.

The question now becomes how to buy the Heavenly Soul Ginseng from Elder Shengu. Although the Heavenly Soul Ginseng is only useful for cultivators whose cultivation has been ruined, it is very rare. There must be many people interested in this long-extinct creature. If it is put up for auction, it can probably be sold for millions of top-grade spirit stones.

Especially for an eighth-level cultivator like Elder Shengu, there are very few things in this world that can impress him.

While commanding his black-clad clone to hurry on his way, Mu Changsheng recalled the rumors about Old Man Shengu. It was said that this old man had extremely similar hobbies to the devil Hei Mo, both of them liked to conduct experiments and research on humans. The difference was that due to the pressure from the righteous, Old Man Shengu's research was often superficial and he had never killed anyone. In order to find people to do research on, he would even take out various treasures to tempt others.

However, just because he likes to use people for research, Old Man Shen Gu is destined to have a bad reputation. It is rumored that he has an extremely strange personality and is almost crazy.

Three hours later, Mu Changsheng's black-clad clone finally arrived at Zhongzhou Island. As soon as he arrived on the island, he was picked up by Gao Chong and met the old man Shengu whom he had been "thinking about".

Old man Shengu's body was gaunt and he did not have the domineering aura that an eighth-level cultivator should have. The most obvious thing was that his face was covered with all kinds of complicated black lines, making it difficult to see his expression. It was said that those were the result of the other party's experiments on himself.

Elder Shengu stared at Mu Changsheng who had come running over, and asked with great interest: "You want my Heavenly Soul Ginseng?"

"Yes." Mu Changsheng replied respectfully: "Although I am a little short of financial resources, as long as you set the conditions, I will do my best to meet them."

Gao Chong at the side also spoke up and said, "Daoyou has achieved the eighth realm for eight thousand years, but has yet to try the wind and thunder catastrophe. I think it should be because of the shortage of top-grade spirit stones. I am willing to pay 1.1 million top-grade spirit stones to buy this Heavenly Soul Ginseng on behalf of Mu Changsheng. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng immediately looked at Gao Chong with gratitude. He did not expect that Gao Chong would be willing to spend so many top-grade spirit stones to help him buy the Tianhun Ginseng.

"Your Tianling Sect is indeed very wealthy." Elder Shen Gu said with a strange smile: "I am indeed in need of top-grade spirit stones, but I just don't care about the ninth realm that people in the world want to achieve. No matter how many top-grade spirit stones you have, you can't convince me."

"What exactly does the Taoist want?" Gao Chong asked in confusion. Before Mu Changsheng arrived, he had asked Old Man Shengu many times what he would do to sell the Tianhun Ginseng, but the other party had always refused to answer.

Ever since Mu Changsheng arrived, Old Man Shengu's eyes have been fixed on Mu Changsheng, as if he was examining a rare treasure, which made Mu Changsheng feel a little scared.

"You, Gao Chong, can't give me what I want. Only this little guy can give it to me." Old Man Shengu replied.

Mu Changsheng was moved when he heard this, and asked quickly: "I wonder what you mean by this, senior?"

Elder Shen Gu did not answer directly, but said to Gao Chong: "I want to talk to this kid alone."

Gao Chong knew that Elder Shengu wanted him to avoid him, but he was a little worried and asked, "Is there anything you need to hide from me?"

Old man Shengu closed his eyes and said nothing. His meaning was very clear: he would not tell anyone unless Gao Chong left.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng took the initiative to send a voice message to Gao Chong: "The disciple here is only the weakest clone, even if something goes wrong, I will accept it. Elder, please step aside for a moment."

After hearing this, Gao Chong felt relieved and left Old Man Shengu's house.

After Gao Chong left, Old Man Shengu opened his eyes and waved his hand. An invisible area separated the entire house to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
