The King of Ginseng King is an incredibly large old ginseng, with thick ginseng roots that resemble countless pale golden roots, deeply embedded in the moist and fertile black soil, spreading in all directions.

A Sisi, shimmering white light lingered among the leaves, and wisps of vital energy continuously emanated outwards.

The ginseng body is covered with fine ring-shaped patterns, like aged skin, yet it exudes vigorous vitality. Several tender red ginseng stems extend from the top, each topped with a round and plump vermilion ginseng fruit, and a refreshing herbal fragrance slowly spreads out.

Upon seeing the Ginseng King, Lu Xuan had a thought and released Ye Renxin and Ye Lingling from his Spiritual Space.

He pointed to the enormous Ginseng King in the center of the open space and asked, "Master, Lingling, what do you think of this 50,000-year-old Ginseng King?"

"Top-grade!" Ye Renxin exclaimed as his gaze fell upon the Ginseng King, "Such a treasure would be an unparalleled tonic in the eyes of any Soul Beast, yet it has managed to survive until now!"

This Ginseng King, which is over 50,000 years old, is almost the same age as Ye Renxin's Eighth Soul Ring back then, but the quality of the Soul Beast itself is many levels higher.

only...

Ye Renxin turned to look at Lu Xuan and slowly said, "The Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King possesses extremely robust vitality and equally powerful spiritual energy. Are you confident in guiding it to perform the sacrifice?"

"I'll try to communicate with it." Lu Xuan didn't directly use his power to forcibly control it; he planned to try negotiation first.

Lu Xuan stepped forward slowly and spoke softly to the 50,000-year-old Ginseng King, "Can you hear me? Let's talk."

"Hmph!" The Ginseng King let out a cold snort that sent shivers down the spines of the plants. His mind was clear, and his tone was full of wariness. "Humans, what you want is nothing more than my Soul Ring!"

Its gaze swept over everyone present, and it said coldly, "I know I am no match for you, but even if I die, I will never submit!"

It had already sensed the pressure emanating from the two old men, who were both Titled Douluo, and had already resigned itself to certain death.

Although it couldn't see through the true cultivation levels of Lu Xuan and Ye Lingling, it understood that these two were the ones who wanted to absorb its Soul Ring.

No, absolutely not!

As long as the other party cannot complete the absorption, it can survive for a longer period of time.

Lu Xuan raised his hand and pointed to Ye Lingling beside him, slowly saying, "You sacrificed yourself for her, becoming her Fourth Soul Ring. I can guarantee that your Origin Seed will remain, allowing you to be reborn."

The Ginseng King, however, remained unmoved, his refusal carrying a chilling aura that seemed to tremble among the plants. "Human, I will not believe your empty words!"

"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to discuss." Lu Xuan's patience ran out, and he stopped negotiating. If soft tactics didn't work, he would take direct action, forcefully suppress it, and guide it to complete the sacrifice.

He turned to Ye Renxin: "Master, it seems we have no choice but to resort to force!"

Ye Renxin nodded slightly upon hearing this, his expression calm. "Then we will proceed according to your plan."

Lu Xuan glanced at the people around him, confirming that there were no hidden dangers. With a thought, the [Black Jade Divine Flute], with its smooth and lustrous surface, slowly appeared in his palm.

"Divine Flute Domain!"

"First Soul Skill: [Jade Flute Fivefold Melody]!"

"Second Soul Skill: [Rainbow Dragon Listening Melody]!"

"Fourth Soul Skill - [Peach-Bamboo Illusory Thought]!"

"Soul Bone Skill - [Peach-Bamboo God Imprisonment]!"

His black robes billowed in the wind, and his Soul Power surged and churned around him. An invisible Godwind suddenly swept across the entire forest clearing centered on him.

At his peak, his spiritual power poured out without reservation, transforming into countless fine, invisible spiritual chains that swept Entanglement the 50,000-year-old Ginseng King, attempting to forcibly suppress and control this Soul Beast.

This Ginseng King, which has lived for 50,000 years, has long since shed the dullness of ordinary Soul Beast. Its intelligence is extremely high, far surpassing that of ordinary Soul Beast of the same age.

The moment Lu Xuan's spiritual power touched his physical body, the Ginseng King instantly sensed a fatal crisis of confinement.

The enormous ginseng rooted in the ground trembled violently and wriggled wildly. The shimmering white life light surrounding its body suddenly surged, transforming into a thick life barrier that firmly protected its main body.

A rich and pure life Soul Power surged into the sky, carrying with it an extremely powerful spiritual force, fiercely resisting Lu Xuan's spiritual confinement.

Its spiritual foundation is extremely profound, far exceeding the level of ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and it is incredibly resilient.

Even with Lu Xuan fully amplified and his mental suppression at its limit, he still couldn't break through the Ginseng King's mental defenses instantly.

Two invisible spiritual forces collided violently in the air, locked in a stalemate, causing the surrounding vegetation to sway and the air currents in the forest to surge erratically, resulting in a deadlock for a moment.

In terms of the pure foundation and level of spiritual power, Lu Xuan was far superior to this 50,000-year-old Ginseng King. However, his Soul-Control Sacrifice Soul Skill had strict limitations, and he could only forcibly suppress and control spiritual power to a target that did not exceed one-tenth of his own.

The Ginseng King possessed an extremely profound spiritual foundation, which was precisely at the controllable threshold of Lu Xuan's skills. To completely suppress him would be no easy task.

Time passed slowly, and the spiritual standoff between the two remained deadlocked.

An invisible Godwind repeatedly clashed and pulled through the forest, and the silent battle lasted for a full half hour.

Finally, the Ginseng King's powerful spiritual energy gradually became exhausted, and he lost his strength, causing his taut spiritual barrier to completely collapse.

Lu Xuan seized the initiative and firmly locked down the Ginseng King's consciousness, winning this battle of wits.

"Master," the Ginseng King said, offering his loyalty immediately after being controlled, "What are your orders?"

"Finally, it's all better." Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the Ginseng King's condition.

The standard for judging Lu Xuan's Soul Bone Skill is always the original spiritual power of Soul Beast at its peak and in full condition. Any physical injuries or Soul Power losses caused by external forces cannot affect the outcome of the mental battle in the slightest.

If it weren't for this strict rule, he could have easily had his master and the others severely injure the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and then easily complete the forced sacrifice.

"Alright."

Lu Xuan suppressed his surging spiritual power and the chaotic aura around him, then turned to look at Ye Lingling beside him, his tone calm and resolute. "Lingling, I have taken control of it. Now, let it sacrifice itself for you."

Ye Lingling nodded emphatically, her clear eyes filled with seriousness and determination, and softly replied, "Brother Lu Xuan, I'm ready!"

The moment the words fell, the forest light intensified, and a Ginseng King sacrifice, specially prepared for Ye Lingling, officially began.

Although this Ginseng King only has 50,000 years of cultivation, it is a top-tier variant among Plant-type Soul Beast, with a quality far exceeding that of other Soul Beast of the same age. For Ye Lingling, it is a top-tier Soul Ring gift that is far beyond her usual standards.

As the sacrifice officially began, pure and vast life Soul Power continuously flowed into her body, enough to allow Ye Lingling's cultivation to make a significant leap forward.

Moreover, the remains of the Ginseng King are a priceless Heavenly Treasures.

Its essence, accumulated over 50,000 years, is extremely refined, possessing a rich and pure medicinal property. Even compared to the peerless immortal Immortal Herb nurtured by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it is in no way inferior.

While Ye Lingling was focused on absorbing the Ginseng King's Soul Ring and stabilizing her cultivation, Dugu Bo had already moved to the side and started dealing with the corpse of the Death Spider Emperor he had previously killed, searching for the Soul Bone it produced.

"Indeed, a 100,000-year-old Right Arm Bone."
