Laozi, the Great Supreme Being

Chapter 288 Horrible Heartbreak and the Gift of Treasure Ocher Whip
  "Co-Master, please don't continue. If you continue like this, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it!"

"Yes, over the past few days, we have learned about the effects of hundreds of herbs. This is enough. Let's get out of here!"

"I pray that the co-master will listen to my advice, leave here, and don't continue to taste it!"

Seeing Shennong eating flowers and plants day after day, all the human ministers couldn't bear it, and they all hoped that Shennong would just stop and leave this place!

In their opinion, the hundreds of herbs they now know are enough for human life, and there is no need to continue. However, Shennong did not listen to the advice at all, and insisted on tasting all the herbs before leaving!

Faced with Shennong's persistence, the ministers were helpless. If Shennong didn't leave, they couldn't force Shennong to leave.

Therefore, the ministers had no choice but to continue to accompany Shennong to eat flowers and plants to understand their fundamental effects!

On this day, Shen Nong suddenly discovered a vine-like plant climbing on a tree. This plant had small yellow flowers and its leaves would open and shrink. It was extremely strange!
  With curiosity in his heart, Shennong picked some leaves and chewed them in his mouth.

Unexpectedly, this was a highly toxic herb. As soon as Shennong ate it, his intestines seemed to be broken into sections, which was very painful!
  This herb is not well-known today, but in later generations, its name was very loud.

Broken intestine grass!
  A highly poisonous herb that will kill anyone who eats it!

Just like that, Shen Nong fainted and died because of accidentally eating the intestines.

Just before he lost consciousness, Shennong couldn't help but have a thought in his mind, "I didn't expect that I, Shennong, would die like this. I haven't tasted all the herbs. I, Shennong, have failed the human race, let alone the master. I, Shennong, am unwilling to accept this!"

He looked up to the sky and let out a roar. Shennong tilted his head and fainted completely!

At the moment when Shennong fell into a coma, Xuan Qing, who was living in seclusion in Jiangshui, suddenly opened his eyes!
  Xuan Qing was very impressed by Shen Nong's spirit in being able to achieve this level of development for the human race, even at the expense of himself.

Xuan Qingyi praised that he had accepted a good apprentice, who was affectionate, righteous, and more responsible!
  The second is to praise that the human race has a good co-owner who can do anything for the development of the human race in the future without regrets! Thousands of thoughts passed by in a flash, and Xuan Qing no longer stayed. Instead, he flashed across the space and came to the unconscious Shennong!
  Shennong was a disciple of Xuanqing, so Xuanqing would not sit back and watch Shennong die.

Xuanqing took out the antidote elixir from his arms and gave it to Shennong.

In less than a moment, Shennong woke up!

Looking at Xuan Qing in front of him, Shennong was stunned for a moment, then quickly knelt down on the ground and thanked him: "Thank you Master for saving me. Shennong asked Master to worry about it!"

"Okay, get up. You are my disciple. Naturally, I will not sit idly by. But Shennong, do you think everything you are doing now is worth it? You know, the ancient land is vast and boundless, and the flowers, plants and trees in it, There are countless more. If you continue in your current situation, I don’t know how many years and months it will take before you can taste all the flowers and plants. So, otherwise, give up! At least you can ensure your own safety after giving up, how about? "

Xuanqing looked at Shennong and suggested!

After hearing what Xuan Qing said, Shennong's expression changed, and then he replied: "What Master said is reasonable, but it is not suitable for Shennong. Shennong is the co-owner of the human race and enjoys the fate of the human race. Naturally, it is not worth saying. As for when Only then can he taste countless flowers and plants. As long as Shen Nong survives for one day, Shen Nong’s footsteps will not stop. Master, I am above you. Today Shen Nong made an oath. If the problem of human food and medicine cannot be solved, Shen Nong will never attain enlightenment!”

Seeing the serious expression on Shen Nong's face, Xuan Qing couldn't help but nodded and said: "Okay, it's a blessing for the human race that you have such an idea, and it's a blessing for you to be a teacher. The name of this thing is the ocher whip. The treasure that I specifically asked for from your ancestor was made from the corpses of giant beasts from the ancient times. You can tell whether it is poisonous or non-poisonous, whether it is cool or warm by lightly hitting the grass and trees. Now, this thing is given to you! "

"Thank you Master!"

After hearing Xuanqing's words, Shennong was overjoyed, and immediately stepped forward, took the ocher whip, and observed it carefully!
  With the help of the ocher whip, it will be much easier to taste the herbs in the future, and Shen Nong will naturally be happy!

"Okay, it's almost time. It's time for me to leave as my teacher, and it's time for you to continue completing your great cause. It's time for me to go as my teacher!" After the words fell, Xuan Qing's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot!

Seeing Xuan Qing leave, Shennong made a few more bows, then stood up and continued to taste the herbs!
