"Be careful, this guy is very cunning."
In his perception, after the Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King's initial rapid movement, its speed gradually slowed down.
This guy was equivalent to a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, and its intelligence was not low. Years of caution made it vaguely aware that something was wrong, and its rationality began to re-emerge.
However, confident in its own abilities, the Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King still did not give up on this minuscule opportunity.
"Here it comes!" Without Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's reminder in their minds, Xu Tianyang and Xu Yunxiao also saw the Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King suddenly appear in the void.
It was a ginseng about three feet long, very similar to the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, with the same crystal-clear skin, full of vibrant life.
Even someone who didn't know much about such treasures could tell at a glance that this ginseng was extraordinary.
Unlike the blood-red Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, the Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King was entirely golden, like a flawless jade.
Similar to the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, this ginseng's skin also had a layer of distinct protrusions, forming a special pattern, like a phoenix spreading its wings and soaring.
Undoubtedly, this ginseng was the legendary Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King, a peerless immortal-grade treasure that harnessed the creations of heaven and earth. Even in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, only the king of immortal-grades, the Yearning Heartbroken Red, could compare to it.
If the two peerless immortal-grades were consumed together, complementing each other, the benefits they would bring would likely surpass even the Yearning Heartbroken Red alone.
It would be enough to defy fate for anyone, laying a true foundation for becoming a god.
"Attack!"
Spirit Bone Skill: Gravity Control!
Immediately, Xu Yunxiao appeared in front of the Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King as if teleporting. Terrifying gravity instantly fell upon it, suppressing it so it could barely move.
However, the Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King's 100,000-year cultivation was not for show. Its entire body erupted with golden light, and in the next moment, it seemed about to break free and escape.
"Tianmeng!"
"Leave it to me!"
In the Sea of Spiritual Consciousness, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's golden body shone brightly. Nine spiritual origins were pushed to their limit, and Tianmeng's shed skin appeared in Xu Tianyang's hand at some unknown point.
In the next instant, under Tianmeng's control, Tianmeng's shed skin transformed into a streak of light and pounced in front of the Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King, which was about to break free.
The Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King's escape ability was unquestionable, but just as it was about to break free from Xu Yunxiao's Gravity Control, it suddenly felt itself slow down. Everything around it became viscous, and a terrifying spiritual force, like a vast ocean, plunged it deep within.
The Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King finally panicked, fully activating the spirit power within its body, and began to twist frantically. However, the unchanging sense of restraint around it made it utterly despair.
Moreover, that feeling of restraint was strengthening at an alarming rate, even compressing its body to emit a grating creaking sound. No matter how it struggled, the power of this restraint continued to increase.
"Humans, release me quickly!" An angry voice came from the Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King's mouth. It finally could not resist the fear in its heart and spoke.
Although plant-type Spirit Beasts were far inferior to animal-type Spirit Beasts in combat power, their perception was extraordinarily keen.
Feeling the terrifying aura of destruction from Xu Yunxiao, and the unfathomable, abyss-like aura and heart-pounding sensation from Xu Tianyang, it felt a wave of despair.
At this moment, it deeply regretted why it hadn't resisted the temptation, leading to its current predicament.
"As expected of a Spirit Beast that has lived for 100,000 years; you almost got away." Xu Yunxiao also freed his hand at this time, condensing a cage of destructive power in his palm to add another layer of confinement to the Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King.
"No, no, no... Humans, let's make a deal. I'll give you my Ginseng King Essence, and you release me. That's my original ginseng fluid that takes ten thousand years to condense a single drop, and its effect is enough to allow a Spirit Master to be reborn." Feeling the destructive aura around it, the Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King immediately panicked and could only concede.
"Foolish. If we kill you, everything you have will be ours." Xu Tianyang gazed indifferently at the Grade Nine Ginseng King, his tone cold as he spoke.
"Boom!"
Xu Yunxiao's palm condensed destructive power into destructive flames, enveloping the Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King and obliterating its intelligence.
"Ah!"
The sudden turn of events caused the Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King to let out a terrified shriek. It mobilized its spirit power to form a golden light shield to protect its main body.
Under the continuous burning of the destructive flames, the golden light shield rapidly dimmed. The Grade Nine Ginseng King was not skilled in combat to begin with and could not withstand Xu Yunxiao's destructive power at all.
Soon, its consciousness began to blur, and the intelligence it had painstakingly gathered over 100,000 years was completely annihilated.
"Oh, no spirit ring or Spirit Bone appeared?" Xu Tianyang looked at the Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Its entire origin is within its body. As long as its body is not damaged, no spirit ring or Spirit Bone will condense. This way, the medicinal effects of the Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King can be perfectly inherited. Tianyang, once you absorb the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and this Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King, you will definitely make rapid progress." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's excited voice rang in Xu Tianyang's mind.
He and Xu Tianyang shared prosperity and loss, so he naturally hoped Xu Tianyang would be as strong as possible.
Xu Tianyang did not answer Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately. He actually had other ideas for the use of these two Ginseng Kings.
After placing the completely unintelligent Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King into a white jade box, Xu Yunxiao walked over and said, "Let's go. This is not a good place to absorb these two things. It's best to do it in Ming City."
..."Awoo!" On the desolate ice plain, a high-pitched wolf howl suddenly echoed, reaching the ears of Xu Tianyang and Xu Yunxiao, who were flying high in the sky.
"Tianyang, there are human Spirit Masters being chased by Spirit Beasts." On the flying spirit tool, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's spiritual power was the strongest, and he discovered the target first.
Since Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was still in an excited state, he did not fall asleep as usual.
"Father!" Xu Tianyang turned to look at his father. In this dangerous place, he still had to defer to his father's wishes.
"I didn't sense any powerful aura. Let's go take a look. They are fellow humans; save them if we can." Xu Yunxiao said in a deep voice after sensing for a bit.
Xu Tianyang naturally had no objections, and soon the two quickly approached the sound of the wolf howl.
Before long, a few figures and a wolf-shaped Spirit Beast radiating fierce, bloody aura appeared in their line of sight.
"It's a 40,000-year Direwolf." Xu Tianyang recognized the Direwolf Spirit Beast, unique to the extreme north, at a glance. He turned to look at the fleeing Spirit Masters ahead, a strange expression flashing in his eyes.
"Two Spirit Emperors, three Spirit Kings, and four quasi-Soul Venerables. This attire... could they be from Tianshui Academy?!"
