Chapter 110: Returning to Peach Blossom Plain
"Quick, let me see! I’ve never seen what a Lingzhi horse looks like!"
Shen Ying’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the basket. "Rest assured, the ground is full of old peach tree roots. Even if we keep it outside, it can’t escape Peach Blossom Plain."
"That’s good," Lu Zheng replied with a smile.
According to ancient tales, when an injured person encounters a Ginseng Person or Ginseng Horse, they kindly extract a small piece of reishi from their body for the person to consume. The injured person quickly heals and becomes even healthier than before.
Therefore, as long as the Lingzhi horse’s source is not depleted, it is possible to continuously draw from it. With proper care, it should be able to recover.
Lu Zheng had never considered this before: firstly, he never thought he could actually capture a Lingzhi horse; secondly, he didn’t know how to care for it; and thirdly, he hadn’t imagined that the Lingzhi horse could communicate with him simply.
So, Lu Zheng felt a bit reluctant to harm it.
Of course, Lu Zheng wasn’t kind enough to set it free. After all, not only did he himself need the reishi from the Lingzhi horse, but his parents and relatives in the modern world also needed it for health maintenance. Missing this chance would mean losing it completely.
And he certainly couldn’t bring the Lingzhi horse to the modern world to care for it.
Thus, considering that the Lingzhi horse seemed only able to move around on land, and knowing that Peach Blossom Plain belonged to Shen Ying, Lu Zheng decided to ask her.
"Don’t worry, it can’t leave Peach Blossom Plain, and the old peach tree roots are abundant. They can absorb Moonlight Essence and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, which is sufficient for the Lingzhi horse’s growth and recovery. You can cut a small piece from it every few months."
The Lingzhi horse trembled, unsure whether to rejoice at its survival or lament its fate as a long-term reishi supplier.
