After repeated testing, Liang En realized that the bead he had burned out of the poisonous snake was indeed a treasure, because as long as he held the bead and injected it with spiritual power, he felt a barrier formed around him.

Unlike the barrier he had mastered before, this barrier looked like a thin mist that enveloped him, and it couldn't stop any weapons or spells from attacking.

But when this barrier is formed, the toxins in the surrounding environment will be gradually purified by the fog in the barrier, and even the snake's own poisonous gas just now cannot penetrate this barrier.

After completing the test, Liang En, who put away the snake avoidance beads, nodded with satisfaction and continued to search the surroundings. As a result of the viper's death, he felt the smell of the herbs around him grow stronger.

There is no doubt that there is probably some kind of elixir growing in this place, and that snake should be the legendary elixir next to the demon beast, so when this demon beast was eliminated by Liang En, the fragrance of the medicine could no longer be hidden.

But just when Liang thought it was going to be another game of hide-and-seek, the ground in front of him suddenly slowly bulged, and then a groundhog with long pointed leaves on its head and a cluster of bright red fruits suddenly emerged from the ground.

Aside from the palm-sized plant on its head, the groundhog didn't have much hair, but a thick layer of mud sticked, but in some places the mud fell off, revealing the main body that looked like the roots of the plant underneath.

In an instant, a strong medicinal fragrance permeated the entire forest. Just taking a breath, Liang En felt that his spiritual power suddenly became a lot more active.

"Ginseng essence!" The unique medicinal effect and taste made Liang En immediately understand the identity of the strange groundhog in front of him, but his brain also felt a little confused.

On the one hand, the ancient legend that ginseng often takes on a human form after becoming a sperm, and the most common image is a fat doll wearing a belly pocket, and the groundhog in front of him does not correspond to the content of other legends except for being fat.

On the other hand, ginseng essence is a very shy creature and basically avoids various other creatures under normal circumstances, so it is obviously not normal to take the initiative to appear in front of him like this.

But anyway, when this ginseng essence took the initiative to appear in front of Liang En in this chubby and cute image, he gave up his plan to eat this elixir at the beginning, and instead planned to see what the other party was going to do.

"Chirp chirp-" After seeing Liang En put away the Qinglian Sword in his hand and rein in the fierce temperament on his original body, the groundhog showed a smile that looked very human, and then let out a series of rather crisp and pleasant calls.

Obviously, this ginseng essence has a lot of intelligence, which is why he can call such a complicated paragraph, but the problem is that he doesn't know what this groundhog call represents.

The ginseng essence on the other side quickly realized the problem, so it stretched out its claws and put it together with the outstretched right hand of Liang En, who was sitting cross-legged, and then a message came into his mind.

"Thanks, kill the snake, help...... Help me! Thank you! A large number of scattered words appeared in Liang En's mind along the connection between the two sides, and after combining these words and the ideas conveyed, Liang En also figured out the current situation.

It turns out that this ginseng essence is the real indigenous of this land, and because of its existence to absorb nutrients from the soil, this land will only grow grass and no trees.

And that snake is an intruder who invaded here at some point, and has been trying to eat this ginseng essence since he came here, after all, whether it is for humans or demon beasts, ginseng is a great tonic.

However, the snake's most powerful poisonous gas was not effective in front of ginseng, and its speed was not as good as that of ginseng who had mastered the art of retreat, so after several failures, he could only try to wait for the rabbit here.

Although the ginseng spirit does not know that if you keep it for a long time, it knows that if you let the snake stay here, it will be eaten by the snake one day.

But on the other hand, once the ginseng essence, which is a plant spirit, leaves this land that it has transformed for hundreds of years, it will also be greatly damaged, and even the spiritual intelligence that it has finally generated will disappear.

The two sides remained at a stalemate for several years, during which many clashes broke out. As time went on, this ginseng essence also became more and more inferior in the fight.

Mainly because as a plant spirit, its range of movement is quite limited, and the snake discovered this after many fights, and began to consciously destroy the land with venom.

Although the ginseng essence is also doing its best to repair the land, the damage is much easier than the construction, so the balance has been shifting in the direction of the poisonous snake.

Luckily, it was the spiritual chaos caused by these conflicts that made Liang En realize that something was wrong when he connected with the island's soul, and eliminated the viper.

Therefore, Liang En's killing of the poisonous snake just now is also equivalent to saving this ginseng essence, plus Liang En has part of the authority of this island, so the ginseng essence that does not appear in front of people will usually come out to thank you.

"Alright—it's time to go!" After exchanging information with the ginseng essence for a while, Liang En stood up and patted the dust on his body, preparing to leave, and after realizing that the other party was a sapient being, he naturally would not regard the other party as a tonic.

What's more important is that he is an open cultivator, so the materials that are very important to an ordinary cultivator are not so important to him, at least not so high that he needs to do certain things against his will.

But as he was about to leave, the groundhog jumped up and grabbed his hand, and a whole bunch of messages followed.

Perhaps it was because of the psychological shadow caused by the snake a few years ago, or it could be that the aura that Liang En had mastered gave it a sense of security, and the ginseng spirit now expressed its desire to follow Liang En.

"We can enter into a contract, a contract of equal souls." For this kind of good thing sent to the door, Liang En naturally would not refuse, he squatted down and spread his palms upwards and said.

"I will keep you safe and find you what you need to practice, and you will serve me at the same cost."

"Okay, fair, agree, agree, agree—" After perceiving the contract proposed by Liang En with his soul, the ginseng essence quickly signed a contract with him.

In the next moment, the contract formed by Liang En and this island also extended part of the breath to this ginseng essence, and the ginseng essence instantly felt that his range of activities had expanded all of a sudden.

As long as he is within 50 km of the island and its coastline, he will be able to stay at home as if he were at home, and will not have the problems that plant spirits tend to have when they leave their birthplace.

Liang En, on the other hand, felt a faint medicinal fragrance begin to permeate around his body, stimulating the spiritual power and true qi in his body, assisting his cultivation to improve.

In a way, the two of them can be regarded as mutually accomplished.
