"The ginseng fruit that falls to the ground turns into nutrients and returns to the tree; that's why the fruit you dropped earlier is gone. Why don't you go and ask Master Zhenyuan for another one? The master is generous. As long as he takes a liking to you, he won't be stingy at all," said the Local Deity before diving back into the earth.
The Six-Eared Macaque had figured out what was happening. He looked around, then down at his clothes, thinking that using his clothes should be fine. So, he took off his clothes and spread them on the ground, then climbed up the tree with his magic artifact and plucked a ginseng fruit, letting it fall onto his clothes.
When he came down, the Six-Eared Macaque quickly went over to where he had dropped the ginseng fruit, and sure enough, there it was resting on his clothes, completely intact.
