Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 32: Ginseng Doll

Objectively speaking, burrowing into the earth in the herb garden was a good idea. While practicing the technique of Shrinking Earth, he could also put his herbal knowledge to practical use and make up for his lack of knowledge, essentially killing two birds with one stone.

Big Senior Sister is doing this for my sake.

Lu Yang hypnotized himself into thinking that Yun Zhi had his best interests at heart, so he should sincerely accept this mission of burrowing into the ground as a replacement for the earthworms. Suddenly, he remembered something.

Earthworms are supposed to be hermaphrodites.

“Why would earthworms have husband and wife?”

Grandpa Ba explained, “The earthworms in the mortal world are indeed hermaphrodites, but that’s a trait of low-level beings. Oh, I don’t mean that in a derogatory way. Earthworms that are sentient can transform to have genders, especially the Silver-Ringed Monarch Earthworms. They are the king among earthworms and can exert bloodline suppression on all other earthworms.”

“I understand. Please continue.”

Grandpa Ba continued, “Originally, with the Silver-Ringed Monarch Earthworm couple around, there was no problem with loosening the soil. It’s my fault for shooting my mouth off that day. I asked the wife, ‘I heard that earthworms can still live after splitting into two. If you also split into two, wouldn’t you be able to work for one day and rest the next day by alternating with your new self?’

“She was tempted by what I said, and she split herself up on the spot, turning into two individuals. They were as identical as twin sisters, no, it was like a clone splitting technique. I watched right as one person turned into two people, and I couldn’t identify the original. Fortunately, they themselves could tell.

“When the husband returned, he was stumped to see two wives. The two of them asked the husband who he liked. The husband was a straightforward person, so he directly said that he liked the two beautiful sisters.

“A family conflict erupted, and the three of them played out a soap drama of love and hate entanglements, so they’re not in the mood to work until now.” Grandpa Ba’s tone was full of reproach.

Lu Yang, “...”

Dang, that’s crazy.

“What exactly should I do?” Lu Yang quickly regained his composure and gradually adapted his mindset to that of a cultivator.

They’re all small matters.

Grandpa Ba stroked his white beard and smiled. “You can go in first, someone will guide you. But let me remind you, you’re entering the herb garden to loosen the soil. If you dare to secretly pick herbs, the Law Enforcement Peak will definitely hold you responsible!”

The Law Enforcement Peak, managed by First Elder, was strict and impartial.

Lu Yang thanked Grandpa Ba and walked into the herb garden. Upon entering, the medicinal fragrance was ten times stronger than before.

The smell can’t possibly differ so much in just a few steps. Lu Yang immediately realized that although it seemed that Grandpa Ba was the only one guarding the herb garden, there was actually an entire array protecting the herb garden and preventing outsiders from entering. This array kept the herb garden’s aura waves locked in, but the medicinal fragrance was so intense that even the large array couldn’t contain all of it, and a bit of it had leaked out.

Just this slight bit was already sufficient to extend the lifespan of mortals. One could only imagine what other miraculous effects the medicinal fragrance inside the herb garden could provide!

Apart from the medicinal scent, the most striking aspect was the spirit energy. It was too thick. Lu Yang suspected that it was not dew but water droplets condensed from spirit energy on the leaves. Every drop would be roughly worth one low-grade spirit stone!

Wherever Lu Yang’s eyes went, it would be verdant and lush greenery. Manifold types of herbs that he had never heard of or smelt spread out before him. They were neatly arranged into rows and categorized into different regions based on their breeds.

Lu Yang didn’t even know where to look. He didn’t dare to walk as he wished, afraid that he might accidentally step on some rare breed.

Squatting down, he looked at several herbs before finally finding one he recognized. The herb had three leaves and clear veins. It appeared as if it had been formed from ice, emitting a faint coldness.

“Ice Soul Grass. I remember that this kind of flower can help those cultivating ice-element techniques and increase their absorption of spirit energy.”

Every Ice Soul Flower was spaced apart from one another to prevent the coldness they emanated from combining together and freezing themselves.

Lu Yang’s memories of his battles with the puppet were still vivid. When he was beaten into a sorry state by the puppet, the puppet would use Ice Soul Grass afterward to apply on his wound. However, he really didn’t recognize the other herbs.

“Hey, who are you?” a not so courteous voice called out.

Lu Yang turned around but saw no one. “Who’s speaking?”

“Hey, look down,” the voice told him.

Lu Yang lowered his head and saw a three-inch tall ginseng doll hopping around at his feet. It seemed to be displeased with Lu Yang for being so slow and needing it to hint to him.

“You’re so stupid. Why didn’t you know to look down? You even needed me to remind you!”

The ginseng doll’s legs were chubby and sturdy. It ran around Lu Yang, its two roots acting as its arms and waving up and down. Its facial features from its body line patterns were as expressive as a human.

“Youngster, who are you?” the ginseng doll asked in an old-fashioned manner.

A ginseng that could become sentient had to be quite old. Lu Yang didn’t dare to be disrespectful, so he bowed. “I am Lu Yang. I accepted the mission to loosen the soil for the herb garden.”

“So you’re just someone loosening the soil.” The ginseng doll heaved a sigh of relief. I thought it was those vile humans coming here to pick the herbs again. The herbs in the herb garden are all cultivated by me.

“Since you could come in, you must have gotten Little Ba’s approval. Other than Little Ba and that she-devil, I haven’t seen outsiders for a while now.”

The old Grandpa Ba was simply considered a junior to the ginseng doll. To them, high cultivation was not as important. What mattered to herbs was who lived the longest. There was no one that caught the ginseng doll’s eyes in the Dao-Seeking Sect.

Lu Yang had heard about the herb garden’s rules. The herbs were precious. If one wanted to get the herbs for treatment purposes, they had to ask the person guarding the garden to pick it for them. Apart from the person guarding the herb garden, no one else could enter.

If not for Lu Yang’s mission, he also wouldn’t have been able to enter the herb garden. The ginseng doll mentioned a she-devil. Is she the other person guarding the herb garden?

The ginseng doll placed its hand-like roots on its hips and complained, “Why are you humans all so tall?”

Lu Yang felt that keeping his head lowered while talking was tiring, so he made use of the To Inches technique to shrink himself into three inches, the same size as the ginseng doll.

“Oh? Youngster, you’re much better than Little Ba.” The ginseng doll was initially shocked, but the surprise quickly turned into joy instead.

It was rare for a human to be the same height as it. It was irking for it to always have to look up at humans; the ginseng doll’s head and body were one entity with no neck.

“From now on, in this herb garden, you can just follow my lead!” the ginseng doll declared in a bold and grand manner. It used its ginseng roots to pat Lu Yang’s shoulder as a form of approval.

“I still have some things to attend to. You can follow me. After I’m done, I’ll take you to see the other herb kings.”

When herbs became sentient, they would become herb kings and the most precious of herbs. Even other powerful sects might not have one. If they did obtain one, they would likely worship it as their ancestor.

However, based on what the ginseng doll implied, it seemed that herb kings like it were not a rarity in the herb garden.

Lu Yang clicked his tongue softly. The Dao-Seeking Sect’s foundation is really scary.
