The owner of the ginseng fruit tree in "Journey to the West" is Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the earthly immortals. When the four monks and disciples of Tang Dynasty passed by the Zhenyuan Daxian Taoist Temple, Sun Wukong and others stole ginseng fruits and were punished. Sun Wukong pulled out the ginseng tree without any hesitation. Later, Guanyin Bodhisattva saved the tree. At that time, Guanyin said: You Killed the ginseng fruit tree of the great immortal Zhen Yuanzi? From this we can know that the owner of the ginseng fruit tree is Zhen Yuanzi.

In "Journey to the West", Zhen Yuanzi is the Earth Immortal Ancestor, also known as Tongshi Tongjun. He practices in the Wuzhuang Temple on Wanshou Mountain in Hezhou, Xiniu. He plants seeds in his Taoist temple. Ginseng fruit has the function of cultivating the body and nourishing the body. It matures once every nine thousand years. It is said that if you smell it, you can live 360 ??years longer. If you eat one, you can live 47,000 years.

When Tang Monk and his disciples were passing by a Taoist temple, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and others saw some ginseng fruits on the tree and ate a few. The words were too strong and he uprooted the ginseng fruit tree when he was angry. Immortal Zhenyuan was very angry about this and started fighting with Sun Wukong. He also used the Qiankun bag to collect several Tang Monk masters and disciples. Later, Guanshiyin saved the ginseng fruit tree. Zhenyuan Immortal and Sun Wukong reconciled, and the two became sworn brothers.
