1027 I Will Never Disappoint You (2)


He Zhiqiu tried his best to look more natural and calm. He nodded at Lin Jiansheng and said, “h.e.l.lo, Mr. Lin.”


“h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo.” Only then did Lin Jiansheng remove his hand from He Zhiqiu’s shoulder.


Lin Jiansheng sized up He Zhiqiu’s old face. For a moment, he couldn’t guess this person’s exact age. Lin Jiansheng hesitated for a moment before asking, “May I know how old you are this year?”


He Zhiqiu revealed an ashamed expression and sighed. “I’m sorry. I’m only 80 years old this year.”

!!

Lin Jiansheng was speechless.


He really didn’t expect that He Zhiqiu, who looked like he could be buried at any time, was actually a hundred years younger than him.


Lin Jiansheng quickly digested this information and said, “I’m 180 years old this year. In that case, I’ll call you Brother He.”


He Zhiqiu was cheerful and optimistic. He chuckled with a nod. Without waiting for Lin Jiansheng to ask, He Zhiqiu took the initiative to talk about his situation. “Although I’m a Beast Tamer, I’m a Healing Beast Tamer. What I awakened was the trashiest plant-type beast form called Cypress Gra.s.s.”


“Cypress Gra.s.s?” Lin Jiansheng had never seen a Beast Tamer who had awakened the Cypress Gra.s.s.


“Yes.” He Zhiqiu’s old face revealed an ashamed expression again as he said, “I awakened my beast form at the age of 11 and broke through to the Supreme Master Realm at the age of 40. But after that, no matter how much I absorbed spiritual power, not only did my cultivation level not improve at all, but it was also being released. Before long, I showed signs of aging.”


He Zhiqiu shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly as he lamented, “In my world, I can be considered a wonder.”


Awakening his beast form at the age of 11 and becoming a Supreme Master at the age of 40 was considered quite good talent. Presumably, before the age of 40, He Zhiqiu was considered a famous Beast Tamer in the local area. However, after the age of 40, not only did his cultivation level not improve, but his spiritual power was also released for some reason and he aged rapidly like a commoner.


Since such a strange thing happened to him, He Zhiqiu would definitely be discussed by people.


When Lin Jiansheng thought of that scene, he couldn’t help but sympathize with He Zhiqiu. “Then how did you break through to the Grand Master realm and come to the Cang Lang Continent?”


Logically speaking, He Zhiqiu should have died of old age like ordinary civilians.


A look of sorrow suddenly appeared on He Zhiqiu’s face. He sighed and said, “All of this starts with my lover.”


He Zhiqiu told Lin Jiansheng, “My lover was a botanist. 40 years ago, she ran to a dangerous forest to search for a spiritual herb that was on the verge of extinction. However, she suffered hypothermia due to extreme weather changes and died in the wilderness…” At the mention of his lover’s departure, tears welled up in He Zhiqiu’s eyes.


It had been decades since his lover pa.s.sed away, but He Zhiqiu’s eyes were still filled with tears when he mentioned his lover. It could be seen that he and his lover must had have a deep relationship.


Lin Jiansheng was a kind and benevolent person. When he heard about the death of He Zhiqiu’s lover, he felt sad for him.


He Zhiqiu rubbed his eyes and said, “When I discovered that she was missing and ran to the wilderness to find her, she was still holding that plant tightly in her hand. At that time, I hated that gra.s.s and wished I could break it, but it was something my wife exchanged her life for! How could I break it?”


“I buried my wife in the vegetable field beside the house and planted that gra.s.s on my wife’s grave. After that, I talked to that gra.s.s every day, fertilized it, and weeded it. I treated it as the embodiment of my lover. I took care of it like this for 30 years. It also grew from a palm-sized sapling into a big tree as thick as a basin. It even bloomed and bore fruit.”


Upon hearing this, Lin Jiansheng guessed, “Could it be that tree that helped you achieve your current cultivation level?”


He Zhiqiu nodded with a complicated expression and sighed. “That’s right. It bore a golden fruit. When I ate that fruit, a strange thing happened. The spiritual power that I disappeared actually returned. I even broke through to the Grand Master realm in a day!”


He Zhiqiu shook his head and sighed with emotion. “Later, I thought about it carefully and realized that from the day I brought that plant home and planted it on my lover’s grave, my spiritual power began to disappear for some reason. I think it was probably a spiritual herb that grew by absorbing my spiritual power and used its fruit to help me recover my spiritual power.”


After knowing the whole story, Lin Jiansheng could finally understand why Philand had arranged for He Zhiqiu to go to the plant cultivation base to plant the Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s.


Lin Jiansheng suddenly said, “Brother He, actually, the Cypress Gra.s.s is not trash. In Holy Spirit Continent, the Cypress Gra.s.s is called the Nine Deaths Soul Restoring Gra.s.s.”


“Nine Deaths Soul Restoring Gra.s.s?” This was the first time He Zhiqiu had heard of this name. Compared to the Cypress Gra.s.s, the name Nine Deaths Soul Restoring Gra.s.s sounded very cla.s.sy.


“Yes,” Lin Jiansheng said extremely sincerely. “Beast Tamers who can awaken the Cypress Gra.s.s are all determined, gentle, and kind people. Look, because of your kindness, you saved that gra.s.s. Because of your determination, after your spiritual power dissipated, although you lived a decadent life for ten years, you still stood up on your own in the end.”


“Your kind character gave you good karma. Your determination has allowed you to reap gains. I believe that you will successfully plant the Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s one day.”


Lin Jiansheng was definitely flattering him.


But this flattery made He Zhiqiu feel happy and pleased.


He Zhiqiu had stayed in the town for ten years and had already become the most famous insolvent. The ridicule he received was far more than encouragement. Although He Zhiqiu was a magnanimous person, he still felt satisfied after hearing Lin Jiansheng’s consolation.


He Zhiqiu suddenly developed a sense of affinity with Lin Jiansheng.


He Zhiqiu also wanted to hug Lin Jiansheng’s shoulder. He had already raised his hand when he realized that he was much shorter than Lin Jiansheng and couldn’t hug his shoulder at all. He Zhiqiu pinched Lin Jiansheng’s arm and said, “Mr. Lin, your words really enlighten me.”


“After hearing your words just now, I suddenly feel that my previous mentality was wrong.” He Zhiqiu stopped and looked at the weeds and trees by the roadside as he lamented, “Every plant is a life. Cultivating a plant is actually creating life. I shouldn’t treat cultivating the Bone Nurturing Gra.s.s as a mission, but should treat it like the gra.s.s my lover brought back. I should treat it as a friend, a lover, and a sentient life form.”


Thinking of this, He Zhiqiu actually felt his entire body relax.


“Mr. Lin, why didn’t you come a few years earlier?” He Zhiqiu had already treated Lin Jiansheng as a close friend and felt that they had met too late.


Lin Jiansheng smiled and said, “I’ve already completed the mission a.s.sessment. The reason why I’m still in town is to wait for my disciple. I have nothing to do during this period of time. Brother He, if you’re willing, you can bring me to your cultivation base to take a look. Together, we’ll definitely be able to find new discoveries and gains.”


Hearing this, He Zhiqiu was very touched and said, “Alright! This afternoon, I’ll bring you to my farmland to take a look!”


“Okay!”


With that, the two of them walked towards the canteen.


One of them held a walking stick and limped, while the other held a scepter and was energetic. These two people, who seemed to be stark contrasts, actually became good friends.


After watching the entire process of Lin Jiansheng and He Zhiqiu meeting, Yu Huang couldn’t help but give Lin Jiansheng a thumbs up.


In terms of eloquence and deception, her mentor had never disappointed her.
