Cheng Xiaofan immediately smelled a human-like scent, and his heart was shocked. Were there other people in this spiritual realm in the oasis?
He spun around sharply.
He found two people standing in front of him.
Both were young, a man and a woman.
The man was handsome, the woman was vivacious, with clear and bright features. However, they were not tall, just over 1.4 meters, looking like miniature adults.
They were covered in a layer of grass leaves and dirt.
At this point, Cheng Xiaofan realized that this pair was also spirits, having just taken human form and not yet undergone tribulation.
He sniffed and detected a familiar scent from the pair.
Cheng Xiaofan was overjoyed.
It turned out to be a pair of legendary lover ginsengs.
Legend had it that ginseng, upon reaching a certain age and absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, could take human form and roam the mortal world.
Usually, ginseng would transform into children and wander in the deep mountains.
Experienced mountain prospectors, upon discovering such ginseng, would tie a red string around it.
Tying a red string would prevent the ginseng from running away after taking human form; second, even if it ran away, the red string would serve as a clue to find it.
However, Cheng Xiaofan did not expect to encounter the legendary top-tier lover ginseng in this spiritual realm.
Lover ginseng, also known as male and female ginseng, grew together. Such ginseng grew slowly, and it would be difficult to take human form without tens of thousands of years.
Only after the male and female ginseng absorbed sufficient spiritual energy from heaven and earth could they transform into human likeness, break through the soil, and wander in the deep mountains.
"Young lady, why do you say I'm too greedy?" Cheng Xiaofan asked calmly after recognizing the pair of lover ginsengs.
The female ginseng smiled slightly and said, "The river monster sacrificed its life to offer you treasures, and you still expect other creatures to learn from it. If that's not greed, what is?"
She sighed, "One shouldn't be too much like Cheng Xiaofan!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded, staring greedily at the female ginseng, and chuckled, "What you say makes a lot of sense. I've always been very greedy, and I never let go of any treasure I see!"
The female ginseng's expression changed slightly.
She immediately reached out and pulled the male ginseng, saying, "Brother, let's go!"
The male ginseng nodded and said, "Alright, let's leave here."
As the pair of spirits turned to leave, Cheng Xiaofan quickly shouted, "Hey, young lady, don't go, I still have something to ask you!"
The female ginseng turned her head and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "I want to ask where you live, so I can pay you a visit!"
"Little sister, don't pay attention to him!"
At this moment, the male ginseng took the female ginseng's hand and said, "This person has ill intentions, don't tell him our address, let's go quickly!"
The female ginseng seemed to realize something was wrong, and said, "Yes, I also feel that this Cheng Xiaofan is not a good person, let's leave here!"
As the two spirits spoke, their figures flickered, and they disappeared into the bushes.
Cheng Xiaofan was dumbfounded.
He had heard from the village elders that spirits transformed from ginseng usually had problems with their intelligence. How could this pair of lover ginsengs see that he wasn't a good person?
Actually!
He felt like he had always been a good person!
Although, from their perspective as ginseng, he did possess strong aggressiveness and danger, but weren't they meant to be eaten by humans when they grew between heaven and earth?
It would be truly unjust if wild boars rooted them up!
Cheng Xiaofan immediately strode forward.
However, there was no trace of them to be found.
Alas!
He couldn't help but sigh.
He thought that if he could activate his Dragon Eyes' clairvoyance in this sealed spiritual realm, these lover ginsengs would have no way to escape from under his nose.
Cheng Xiaofan searched around but found no trace of the lover ginsengs.
What a pity!
He shouldn't have come to Fuzhou without bringing Taqibao.
With its sense of smell, finding this pair of lover ginsengs would have been no problem.
Ding ding ding...
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan's phone rang.
He was stunned. In this spiritual realm, a high-tech mobile phone produced by Great Britain could still receive external signals?
This was too miraculous!
Immediately, Cheng Xiaofan took out his phone.
Upon opening it, he saw that the call was from Lucy.
As soon as he pressed the answer button, Cheng Xiaofan heard Lucy's rough and frantic voice from the other end: "Cheng Xiaofan, tell me, where are you?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Lucy, can you speak a little gentler? I'm picking up treasures in a desert oasis!"
Lucy said angrily, "Didn't you say the desert oasis wouldn't open to the public until three in the afternoon? Why did it open in the morning?"
Cheng Xiaofan was taken aback.
He glanced at the time on his phone, which was indeed eleven in the morning.
This meant he had been in the oasis for two hours after entering.
"What, Lucy, have you already traveled from Great Britain to the Gobi Desert this morning?" Cheng Xiaofan asked curiously.
Lucy said, "That's right, my sisters and I arrived early. We also saw the desert oasis like a mirage, but we couldn't get in."
"Cheng Xiaofan, if you don't want to court death, tell me quickly how you entered this desert oasis?"
Cheng Xiaofan finally understood.
These non-human cultivators were wary of him and had arrived here early today.
However, after arriving, they couldn't enter the spiritual realm here.
In the eyes of these non-human cultivators, this oasis that appeared in the desert was a typical mirage.
From Lucy's tone, it was clear they hadn't found Leierde and the others.
Thinking of this, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Lucy, you can't enter the desert oasis, so I can only say you have bad luck!"
"As for how I entered the oasis, I will definitely not tell you."
"There are countless rare treasures provided for cultivators here, if I let you in, wouldn't that be one more competitor?"
"No, I absolutely won't tell you!"
Lucy on the other end of the phone immediately exclaimed in exasperation, "Cheng Xiaofan, do you think you can leave here after picking up treasures in the desert oasis?"
"With thirteen of my sisters guarding this Gobi Desert, you won't be able to leave here alive!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Lucy, don't be so arrogant. You can't even enter the prehistoric desert oasis that opens to the world, and you want to deal with me?"
"How about this, you guys guard outside, and I'll pick up treasures inside the oasis. When I come out, we'll have a good fight."
"If I lose, I'll give you all the treasures I've collected in the oasis."
"If you lose, then obediently kneel before me and offer your neck for death. What do you think of this arrangement?"
