Chapter 348 Exterminate the Centipede, Collect the Ginseng Spirit

Buzz~!

A beam of Buddhist light descended.

"Ouch~~"

The centipede demon howled pitifully.

He rolled on the ground, tumbling several times before transforming into a giant centipede with a crimson body covered in dense, claw-like legs.

"Hiss~~ That wretched monk."

The centipede demon roared in shock and rage, spitting a mouthful of venom at Fahai.

Watching the venom sweep in.

"How dare you spit on me?"

Fahai's face darkened, and he pressed down with one palm.

The Buddha's light transformed into a golden Buddha's hand and slammed down.

Boom!

With a single slap, the centipede demon's outer shell shattered with cracking sounds, spewing out streams of liquid.

"Sigh~~"

The centipede demon wailed in agony, struggling to twist its body and try to summon its demonic power to resist.

Unfortunately, it was completely suppressed by the Buddha's light, and its hard outer shell gradually broke and fractured.

"No, spare me, Master, spare me!"

“My father is the Golden Cymbal Dharma King. If the Dharma Master kills me, he will surely suffer the consequences.”

The centipede demon struggled incessantly.

It twisted its head in fear, emitting hissing sounds.

"The Golden Cymbal Dharma King?"

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing exchanged a glance.

Bai Suzhen then said, "This centipede demon actually dares to threaten the Zen master; it truly doesn't know its own mortality."

"Seek death."

Xiaoqing laughed gleefully.

As expected, Fahai's eyes flashed with golden light upon hearing this.

"You wretched creature, how dare you threaten me?"

"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, World-Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Paramita Emptiness!"

Fahai made a hand seal, and bursts of Buddhist light transformed into roaring golden dragons that swooped down towards the centipede demon.

Boom, boom, boom—

Explosions rang out, and then the Buddha's light enveloped everything.

The centipede demon was blown to pieces, its entire body fragments torn apart by the Buddha's light.

"Diamond Flame!"

With another loud shout, Fahai flicked his hand, and golden flames swept out.

In an instant, the centipede demon's shattered flesh was burned to ashes, and even its soul and spirit ceased to exist, completely annihilated.

Boom~~

The earth shook and the golden light dissipated.

Large pits were exposed, with smoke hissing from them.

"Hmph, you little monster, how dare you be so arrogant as to say that you will be annihilated in any way you want."

Fahai snorted coldly and raised his hand to withdraw the golden flames that filled the sky.

This Vajra Flame is extremely powerful and yang, born from the condensation of the sun's power, containing a true solar fire within it.

"The Zen master's Buddhist teachings are profound and unfathomable."

"With just a slight move, the demons were annihilated."

Bai Suzhen smiled and flattered him.

Xiaoqing looked at her sister with surprise, wondering when her sister had learned to flatter.

"A mere little demon."

Fahai smiled calmly.

"Aren't those people in the cave coming out yet?"

His gaze fell on the cave in front of him, and he spoke.

"Thank you for your righteous help, Master."

An old man with white hair and beard emerged from the cave.

Following behind were a rabbit demon, two flower demons, and a little ginseng spirit.

They looked at Fahai with nervous fear, their eyes revealing a deep sense of dread and unease.

"I can tell at a glance that you are not human."

As soon as Fahai spoke, the old ginseng spirit was so startled that his hair and beard stood on end.

"Master, spare my life!"

The old man knelt down in terror.

He pleaded, "Master, please forgive me. I have cultivated for a thousand years and have always been diligent and conscientious, never daring to have any thoughts that go against the will of Heaven, let alone any intention to harm others."

"On the contrary, they have often saved lives, secretly treating some patients without ever causing harm. We earnestly beg the Venerable Master to have great compassion and spare our lives."

After the old man finished speaking, he kowtowed repeatedly.

"Please, Master, spare our lives."

Two flower fairies, a rabbit fairy, and a little ginseng spirit hurriedly kowtowed.

Fahai's eyes gleamed with a faint golden light as he swept over the demons in front of him.

"Considering that you have not caused any harm to mankind, I will spare your lives for now."

The old ginseng essence was delighted upon hearing this.

"However—" The next second, Fahai's tone changed, startling the demons.

Fahai continued, “You mountain spirits and monsters have no background or strength, and you are likely to attract the covetousness of others, which will cause trouble.”

"From now on, you will follow me in your cultivation."

Fahai decided to subdue these demons.

Especially that old ginseng spirit; it's very rare for a thousand-year-old ginseng to become a spirit.

Just a single ginseng root can bring someone back from the dead and even greatly increase their power. If you take a bite, you can also greatly increase your magical power and improve your cultivation.

"what?"

The old ginseng spirit stood there dumbfounded upon hearing this.

"What, you don't want to?"

Fahai narrowed his eyes, startling the old ginseng spirit, who hurriedly shook his head.

"No, no, no, the Zen Master is joking. This old man is more than willing to follow the Zen Master."

"We are willing to follow the Zen Master."

The little demons hurriedly answered.

I certainly wouldn't dare to refuse.

Just look at the centipede demon, now completely destroyed, and you'll know that refusing will definitely not end well.

At least they're still alive. I just hope Fahai will keep his word and not kill them.

The old ginseng spirit was most worried, fearing that Fahai would take him back and stew him directly.

Or if you take it back to refine pills, then it's really over.

"very good."

Fahai nodded in satisfaction, then instructed, "Xiaobai, Xiaoqing, you two take care of that rabbit demon and the two flower demons."

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were stunned for a moment, then nodded in unison.

"Yes, Zen Master!"

They gladly accepted the order.

"As for you, I will guide you on how to cultivate."

Fahai smiled slightly, calming the anxious old ginseng spirit.

He disdained consuming others to increase his magical power; to him, the best magical power was the one he cultivated bit by bit himself.

Although consuming ginseng essence could enhance his millennia-old cultivation, he did not want to exhaust the resources of the plant.

It would be better to keep him alive and nurture him properly, and let him condense a drop of ginseng blood every ten days.

Moreover, it does not damage its essence; as long as it is well-nourished, it will have a continuous supply of ginseng blood.

"The ginseng scent emanating from you is too alluring; it will easily attract the covetous eyes of other demons."

Fahai looked at the two ginseng spirits, one old and one young.

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "I will conceal and seal your own ginseng aura."

"The Zen master is compassionate."

The old ginseng spirit was overjoyed and pulled the little ginseng spirit to kneel down and express his gratitude.

Next, Fahai sealed and concealed the ginseng scent of both of them.

In this way, those whose cultivation level does not surpass his cannot see the other party's true form.

"Let's go down the mountain."

After Fahai finished speaking, he turned and left.

The group of fairies behind them looked at each other in bewilderment.

"My name is Xiaoqing. What are your names?"

Xiaoqing looked at the rabbit demon and the two flower demons and asked.

"Sister, my name is Hu Meiniang."

The rabbit demon spoke first.

She is Hu Meiniang, with a scar on her face because her transformation was incomplete.

"Sister, my name is Xinghua."

A slightly larger flower essence gave a soft reply.

Another flower spirit beside her whispered, "My name is Lily, and my true form is a lily."

“Apricot blossoms, lilies, this is my sister Bai Suzhen.”

Xiaoqing pulled the two of them closer and sniffed them.

"You two smell so good, like flowers."

Xiaoqing said with a look of utter delight.

"Alright, Xiaoqing, hurry up and catch up, the Zen Master has already gone far away."

Bai Suzhen hurriedly interrupted them with a reminder.

"Come on, hurry up and keep up, or we'll get beaten up again."

Xiaoqing immediately woke up when she heard what her sister said.

The group quickly caught up with Fahai.

"Zen Master, where are we going?"

Bai Suzhen, who had followed, asked curiously.

Fahai was calculating something with his fingers.

"Go find the Golden Cymbal Dharma King and get rid of this great demon that is troubling the human world."

He was calculating as he spoke.

"found it!"

Soon after, Fahai revealed a smile.

"Follow me, come with me to subdue the demon."

After Fahai finished speaking, he took a step and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"..."

Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, and the newly subdued ginseng spirit all looked at each other in bewilderment.

Exorcising demons?

They are demons.

But once I thought about how I chose to follow Fahai, everything was fine.
