The White Dot was too difficult to notice, resembling a speck of dust, drifting in Lingfeng's palm before finally settling down.
Wanshitong stepped forward, not daring to breathe too loudly, and said, "This is indeed ginseng skin; although it may not be much, it's enough!"
With that, Wanshitong took the Ginseng Skin in his hand and muttered a few Incantations, tightly clenching his fist and placing it on his forehead, like a devoted believer, not daring to be careless for even a moment.
Lingfeng watched Wanshitong nervously, waiting for his result.
After a while, Wanshitong finally opened his eyes and looked at Lingfeng, saying, "It really is Thousand-Year Ginseng. It's surprisingly difficult to track!"
"How is it? No results?" Lingfeng hurriedly asked.
Wanshitong chuckled and then proudly said, "With my skills, there's nothing I can't accomplish!" With that, he took out a dagger and threw it into the black void. A flash of spiritual light appeared, and the dagger transformed into a Flying Sword.
"Let's go find the Thousand-Year Ginseng!" Wanshitong declared.
Lingfeng happily nodded and jumped onto the Flying Sword with Wanshitong.
However, just as they were about to set off, a beam of light flew in from the distance, directly blocking the path of the Flying Sword.
The two focused their gaze and were surprised to see the furious Mu Feng Peak Master, Mu Qiu.
"Senior Sister, you..." Lingfeng looked at Mu Qiu in confusion and asked timidly.
"Lingfeng, I appreciate your help in bringing Wanshitong back to me, but if you dare let him go, I won't spare you!" Mu Feng Peak Master suppressed her anger, her voice trembling.
Lingfeng silently lamented how Mu Qiu always chose the critical moments to cause trouble.
"Qiu'er, you misunderstand. We are just going to handle some matters!" the All-Knowing One explained weakly.
Mu Qiu let out a cold snort, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, clearly dissatisfied with the All-Knowing One's explanation.
"Senior Sister, don't worry. I won't leave before the Sect Master comes out!"
"You may not leave, but that doesn't mean the All-Knowing One won't!" Mu Qiu thought to herself, determined to keep an eye on the All-Knowing One this time. She couldn't let him disappear unnoticed like last time, acting like a Hermit.
The All-Knowing One sighed helplessly but dared not show it too obviously. He could only plead, "We really are going to handle important business. We'll come back before nightfall. Please don't cause trouble, okay?"
Mu Qiu showed no signs of backing down and said solemnly, "Since you're going to handle matters, take me with you."
"Uh..." The All-Knowing One turned his gaze toward Lingfeng, hoping Lingfeng would make the decision.
Lingfeng sighed inwardly. He truly did not want more people to know about Earth Escape, but it was uncertain when Earth Escape would shift again, and time was extremely tight.
After considering for a moment, Lingfeng gritted his teeth and nodded. "Alright, but you must promise me that no matter what happens tonight, you cannot go out!"
This seemed to be the best solution; otherwise, Mu Qiu would definitely not let go.
Mu Qiu said nothing and jumped onto the All-Knowing One's Flying Sword, glaring fiercely at him as if she wished she could swallow him whole so she wouldn't have to keep such a close watch on him.
The All-Knowing One steered the Flying Sword out of Demon Suppression Sect and flew deep into the Demon Subduing Continent.
Moments later, the Flying Sword had already flown over a thousand miles.
The All-Knowing One looked down for a moment, then closed his eyes to recall the scene revealed in the divination, and said, "Get ready, we're about to land!"
Lingfeng nodded, indicating that he was prepared. The All-Knowing One then turned his gaze to Mu Qiu, only to find Mu Qiu sulking and looking elsewhere, clearly still upset.
The All-Knowing One sighed and gently guided the Flying Sword down towards the ground.
The Flying Sword landed on a desolate mountain, surrounded by some low trees, giving off a rather bleak atmosphere.
"Big Brother, are you sure about this? The trees here look abnormal. Are you certain that ginseng is here?" Lingfeng glanced around; although it was night, the surroundings were still visible to him.
"Are you all just here to find ginseng? The Demon Suppression Sect has plenty; why bother coming to this godforsaken place?" Before the All-Knowing One could respond, Mu Qiu interjected.
Lingfeng smiled and said, "Senior Sister, you misunderstand. I'm not looking for ordinary ginseng. However, there’s no time to explain right now; you'll understand shortly!" He then looked at the All-Knowing One, urging him to proceed.
The All-Knowing One gazed into the distance and confidently stated, "That's right; it is indeed here. However, its Spiritual Energy is blocking my tracking ability, so I can't pinpoint its exact location."
"That's strange. The Spiritual Energy here is quite weak. If there are no ginseng or celestial fruits to consume, what would it be doing here?" Lingfeng murmured in confusion.
After pondering for a moment, the All-Knowing One replied, "The only possibility is that it was forced to come here!"
Lingfeng turned his gaze towards the All-Knowing One. "Forced to come?"
"Yes," the All-Knowing One nodded. "These sentient beings dislike desolate places the most. The only reason it would come here is if someone brought it!"
Thousand-Year Ginseng needs to consume celestial fruits or ginseng that has not yet matured to replenish its energy, so Thousand-Year Ginseng prefers places rich in Spiritual Energy. Clearly, this location is unsuitable for its survival. The only possibility is that it has been forced here by someone else.
Wanshitong did not continue and closed his eyes, sensing the surroundings.
After a while, Wanshitong opened his eyes and pointed to the left, saying, "Within a hundred miles, there is only an old house over there. Let's go check it out!"
Lingfeng agreed and took the lead toward the direction Wanshitong indicated.
"Once we finish these matters, where do you plan to go next?" Mu Qiu asked from behind, tugging at Wanshitong's sleeve.
Wanshitong looked around and then said, "We'll just do what needs to be done!"
"That won't do," Mu Qiu quickly replied. "What do you mean by just doing what needs to be done? You should have a plan!"
"I don't have one," Wanshitong shook his head vigorously without thinking, muttering, "What kind of plan could there be? It's just about cultivating!"
Mu Qiu fell silent for a moment. Seeing that Lingfeng was not paying attention to their conversation, she leaned closer to Wanshitong and asked, "Where will you cultivate?"
Wanshitong glanced at Mu Qiu, but immediately recoiled from her piercing gaze, instinctively shivering.
"How about this: you simply stay at Demon Suppression Sect, we can cultivate together and help each other out. Who knows, we might ascend sooner!" Mu Qiu seized the opportunity to suggest.
Wanshitong pouted but dared not show any dissatisfaction. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The most important thing in cultivating immortality is to eliminate desires. Being with you, I’m afraid... I’m afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Mu Qiu quickly asked.
Wanshitong did not continue, sighing with a frown. Seeing that Lingfeng had already walked far away, he took the opportunity to say, "Let's put this matter aside for now and quickly resolve the issue at hand!" With that, he took the lead and ran towards Lingfeng, disregarding Mu Qiu.
Less than half an hour later, an old house appeared before the three of them.
It was an old house, more like an Abandoned House. This residence was situated in the desolate mountains and wilderness. Although it was relatively intact, the protective layer on the walls had already fallen off, clearly showing years of neglect.
"I'm Wanshitong; this is just a rundown house. Who would bring ginseng here?" Mu Qiu said sarcastically as she noticed Wanshitong avoiding her.
Wanshitong clicked his tongue and said, "What do you mean by 'long hair and short knowledge'? This is a perfect example. It's harder to find places like this, making it easier to do things that are not known to others!"
Mu Qiu shot him an indignant glare and was the first to walk towards the door of the Abandoned House.
"Senior Sister, wait a moment!" Lingfeng hurriedly stepped forward to stop Mu Qiu. Seeing her look at him in confusion, he quickly explained, "The people inside stole the Thousand-Year Ginseng; they must have used high-level defensive spells. If you go in like this, you'll likely meet the King of Hell!"
Wanshitong covered his mouth and chuckled, looking smugly at Mu Qiu.
"Even if I meet the King of Hell, I'm not afraid he won't see me!" Mu Qiu said dismissively. She then pushed Lingfeng aside and gathered her Spiritual Energy with one hand, unexpectedly pushing against the wooden door.
As the Master of Mu Feng Peak with excellent wood manipulation skills, she no longer needed any incantations and could directly control the trees.
Suddenly, with a loud crash, the wooden door flew open. As Mu Qiu waved her hand, the door shattered into pieces and flew into various corners of the Abandoned House.
Mu Qiu clapped her hands and looked proudly at Lingfeng. "So, are you still worried about any defensive formations now?"
The wooden fragments had penetrated into every corner. If there were any formations in the courtyard, they would definitely react. However, at that moment, everything in the courtyard remained calm and normal without any abnormalities.
Lingfeng couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the All-Knowing One.
The All-Knowing One curled his lip, not offering any opinions, and pointed towards the courtyard before walking in.
"Senior Sister, go for it!" Lingfeng chuckled and followed him inside.
"Big Brother, I actually find something strange!" Lingfeng said with a laugh while trailing behind the All-Knowing One.
"What’s strange?" the All-Knowing One asked, tilting his head.
Lingfeng took a deep breath, glanced at the calm courtyard, and said in confusion, "The person who could capture the Thousand-Year Ginseng must be extraordinary. With all this commotion, why hasn't anyone noticed us?"
"The person who could capture the Thousand-Year Ginseng doesn't necessarily have to be very powerful. As long as they have high-quality magical tools and set up the right formations, they can still catch the Thousand-Year Ginseng. Moreover, after capturing the Thousand-Year Ginseng, it cannot be consumed directly; it must be hung in the air for forty-nine days to filter out the impurities in its body. Only then can it be consumed without side effects. During this period, the Thousand-Year Ginseng cannot be moved; otherwise, you have to wait another forty-nine days. So even if that person knows we are here, they wouldn't act rashly!" the All-Knowing One explained.
This was the first time Lingfeng had heard such things, and he felt a wave of relief. He then planned to have Mu Qiu and the All-Knowing One split up to search for Earth Escape.
He thought Mu Qiu was right behind him, but when Lingfeng turned around, he realized that Mu Qiu had long since disappeared from sight.
