Chapter 671 Ginseng Fruit
Yang Jian straightened his robes and stood outside the gate of Luofu Cave on Mount Emei, not in a hurry to rush in.
This place is the dojo of Zhao Gongming, the chief disciple of the Jie Sect, and the residence of a sage's disciple. The proper etiquette must be observed in the slightest.
He channeled his magic power, condensing his voice into a line, which gently entered the mountain gate without any sense of oppression.
"Yang Jian, a disciple of Niu Ben of the Renjiao sect, was passing through this place and came to pay his respects to his Uncle-Master Zhao Gongming."
The sound was not loud, but it resonated clearly in every corner of Luofu Cave.
Zhao Gongming, who was sitting quietly deep inside the cave, suddenly opened his eyes.
He was dressed in a black Taoist robe, with a resolute face and bright, clear eyes. The power of laws flowed around him, indicating that his cultivation was extremely profound.
"Um?"
He was slightly taken aback at first.
Yang Jian?
This name seems somewhat unfamiliar.
But when he heard the last sentence, he instantly lost his composure.
A disciple of Niu Ben, a disciple of the Renjiao sect?
Niu Ben!
Which bull?
In this vast and ancient world, besides the elusive and infamous eldest disciple of the Supreme Master, is there another Niu Ben?
Zhao Gongming's mind went blank for a moment.
That's Senior Brother Niu Ben!
Although they were all disciples of the same sage, these disciples of the Jie Sect were all a generation lower than their senior brother Niu Ben.
There's nothing we can do; after all, he's the only direct disciple of the Supreme Master, and his status is undeniable.
Moreover, this Senior Brother Niu Ben is not some law-abiding hermit.
His legend is practically a taboo among his second-generation disciples.
Every single one of these incidents was a major, earth-shattering event.
He was a truly peerless and formidable figure, a terrifying existence that even they, the disciples of the sages, could only look up to, and dared not even speak of him aloud.
Now, this powerful man's disciple has actually come to his doorstep?
Zhao Gongming jumped up from the prayer mat, his face filled with shock and a hint of excitement.
He had heard that not long ago, his senior brother Niu Ben had just emerged from seclusion and had casually dealt with the Heavenly Court.
Now his disciple has appeared here. What does this mean?
Zhao Gongming dared not be negligent, nor did he have time to think about the reasons in detail. In a flash, he appeared directly outside the gate of Luofu Cave.
He spotted the tall, imposing young man standing in front of the mountain gate at a glance.
Zhao Gongming scanned the area with his divine sense and was even more surprised.
Good guy!
The pinnacle of Taiyi Golden Immortal!
Moreover, its solid foundation, powerful physical body, and pure magical power far surpass those of others of the same level!
Just one step away from breaking through to the true spirit, leaping out of the river of time, and attaining the carefree and unfettered Great Luo Dao Fruit!
As expected of Senior Brother Niu Ben's disciple, he is truly extraordinary!
"Haha, so it's Brother Niu Ben's esteemed disciple who has graced us with his presence! I am so sorry for not welcoming you sooner!"
Zhao Gongming's face instantly lit up with a warm smile, and he quickly stepped forward, adopting an extremely humble posture.
He treated Yang Jian with the courtesy due to an equal.
In terms of seniority, Yang Jian should indeed call him "Uncle-Master". However, Yang Jian's master is Niu Ben, which makes all the difference.
"Nephew, please come in quickly, don't stand outside." Zhao Gongming warmly pulled Yang Jian's arm and was about to lead him into the cave.
"Yang Jian greets Uncle Zhao." Yang Jian returned the greeting respectfully.
He could sense that Zhao Gongming's warmth and friendliness were genuine.
It seems that the master's name is quite useful within the Jie Sect.
The two entered Luofu Cave and sat down as host and guest, respectively.
A servant boy offered celestial tea and spiritual fruits.
Zhao Gongming dismissed the boy and then looked at Yang Jian with curiosity, asking, "I wonder what brings you down the mountain, my nephew? How is Senior Brother Niu doing?"
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle-Master. My master is well." Yang Jian nodded and then said, "This time, I came down the mountain on my master's orders to enter the world to cultivate. I have no specific destination. Today, I just happened to be passing by Emei Mountain and remembered that this is Uncle-Master's place of practice, so I took the liberty of coming to pay my respects."
"I see." Zhao Gongming understood upon hearing this.
He was wondering why Senior Brother Niu's disciple would come here for no reason.
His gaze fell on Yang Jian again, and seeing his cultivation level nearing perfection, a thought suddenly struck him.
Got it!
When giving a gift, it should touch the heart!
What does this junior disciple need most right now? Isn't it that crucial opportunity at the last minute?
If I could lend him a hand and help him successfully break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, then I would have done him a great favor!
With that thought in mind, Zhao Gongming no longer hesitated.
He laughed heartily and said to Yang Jian, "Nephew, our two sects are of the same lineage. Your master and my master even share the same origin. In a way, we are all family, so there's no need to be so polite."
"It is fate that we meet today. As your senior uncle, I don't have much to give you. But I happen to have something here that might be of some use to you at your current level."
As he spoke, Zhao Gongming flipped his hand over.
With a flash of light, a strange fruit, crystal clear and shaped like a three-day-old child, with all four limbs and facial features, appeared in his palm.
As soon as the fruit appeared, the entire cave was instantly enveloped in a refreshing and unique fragrance.
Just smelling it makes you feel refreshed in every pore, and your mind and soul are cleared!
Yang Jian's gaze was instantly drawn to the fruit.
His pupils contracted slightly.
"This...this is...ginseng fruit?"
He recognizes this thing!
The essence of heaven and earth, the ginseng fruit tree!
The treasure of Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals, at Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain!
This fruit blossoms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and takes another three thousand years to ripen. It takes an additional ten thousand years before it can be eaten. Just smelling it grants you three hundred and sixty years of life; eating one grants you forty-seven thousand years!
More importantly, this ginseng fruit contains the essence of innate wood and the original energy of the earth, making it a supreme holy product for healing and replenishing vital energy!
For cultivators stuck at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, the boundless vitality and innate Dao charm contained within are enough to help them break through the bottleneck and attain the supreme Dao of Daluo in one fell swoop!
Its value is even greater than the Great Luo Dao Fruit he gave Yuan Hong before!
"Uncle-Master, this...this is too precious!" Yang Jian was genuinely surprised.
This was the first time he had met Zhao Gongming, and the other party had already presented him with such a generous gift.
This is an incredibly extravagant gesture!
"Haha, nephew, you have a good eye!" Zhao Gongming's smile widened when he saw that Yang Jian recognized the item.
"Indeed, this is a ginseng fruit that the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi gave me when I was traveling in my early years. For me, it's nothing more than a way to satisfy my appetite. But for you, my junior nephew, it is the perfect opportunity to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!"
Without saying a word, he handed the ginseng fruit directly to Yang Jian.
"Nephew, your magical power is now complete, and your foundation in the Dao is solid. You only need one more opportunity to break through. Consume this fruit, and today, you will be able to enter the Great Luo realm in one step!"
"Take it! Don't refuse! Otherwise, you'll be looking down on me as your senior brother!" Zhao Gongming's tone left no room for argument.
Looking at the ginseng fruit before him and then at Zhao Gongming's sincere and eager eyes, Yang Jian was filled with mixed emotions.
He knew that Zhao Gongming was doing this almost entirely out of respect for his master, Niu Ben.
But he accepted this favor.
He really needs strength right now.
With every bit of extra strength, the chances of rescuing the mother increase.
"In that case, junior disciple, it would be impolite of me to refuse."
Yang Jian no longer refused and solemnly extended both hands to accept the ginseng fruit.
"Thank you so much, Uncle-Master, for bestowing this treasure! Yang Jian will forever remember this kindness!"
