Chapter 327 – The Peach of Longevity
Chapter 327 – Peach with Many Lives
The Demon Ghost Vine was a fifth-grade Demon Change Spiritual Plant obtained from the Medicine Garden in Lang Yue’s blessed land, and was fond of eating spiritual seeds, branches and leaves of spiritual plants, and had an extremely sharp perception of spiritual seeds.
After obtaining it in the Medicine Garden, Lu Xuan followed its guidance and fought for the Sixth Grade Ancient Spiritual Plant Phoenix Wood from three of his fellow disciples.
Since it reacted like this, it meant that there was definitely a high-grade Spirit Plant up ahead.
“Lead the way in front, if you really find a high-grade spirit plant, when it is cultivated and matured, I will surely let you eat your fill.”
Lu Xuan casually fed a large cake.
The Demonic Ghost Vine’s gray vines nodded excitedly, slithering and crawling like a gray snake, leaving a deep and shallow trail of mucus on the ground.
A moment later, Lu Xuan followed the Demon Ghost Vine to a desolate medicinal garden.
Most of the plants in the medicine garden have dried up, looking like a withered appearance, a small part of the normal growth, the ground remains in need of demonic beast skeletons, stepping on the feet immediately turned into broken bones.
“This medicine garden, something is not right.”
The Unsullied Jade hanging around Lu Xuan’s neck transmitted a cool aura, implying that there was an evil aura hidden in the medicinal garden.
Luckily, the coolness hadn’t risen to the level of freezing, which meant that the Evil Breath was completely within his control.
He carefully observed his surroundings and after confirming that no one had any abnormalities, he walked towards the center of the medicine garden.
The further in, the more desolate the medicinal garden became, but when he walked to the very center, there was a peach tree with a flourishing growth.
Peach tree up and down aura dense, far from a fragrant breath, let a person can not help but come to the front to get close.
Lu Xuan was about to strike a Spiritual Rain Technique to see if he could learn about the peach tree.
Suddenly, countless nearly transparent threads emerged from the surface of the Hidden Spirit Cloak draped over his body, hiding Lu Xuan’s entire body in an instant.
A thin layer of special substance seemed to cover his eyes, and he felt a sense of detachment and unreality when gazing at the many things in the Medicine Garden.
He sensed someone approaching.
A few breaths later, two Foundation Establishment cultivators followed a butterfly whose wings were covered in spirit patterns to the peach tree.
An old man with a gloomy temperament and a thin old woman.
“I didn’t expect that high grade spirit plants do exist here.”
The skinny crone’s face was covered with wrinkles like furrows, and with a stretch of her hand, the butterflies that had originally fluttered and hovered around the peach tree fell back into her hands.
“It’s also thanks to Mrs. Bai having this Spirit Pattern Butterfly that she can detect the grass and tree aura contained within the spirit plant, otherwise it wouldn’t have been so easy to find.”
The grimy old man was clearly Ning Deshan, who had met Lu Xuan several times, and at this moment, he was staring dead on at the peach tree that was emitting a tantalizing fragrance as he said in a low voice.
The skinny old crone was known as Lady Bai, the owner of a small island in the archipelago, and the two had known each other for a long time, with nearly a hundred years of friendship, so after entering the secret realm, they invited each other to explore the treasures of opportunity together.
She kept a spirit pattern butterfly, for all kinds of spiritual plants have a keen perception, under its guidance, this was able to quickly find this spirit peach tree.
“This Spirit Peach looks like it should have an unusual origin, does Fellow Daoist Ning know where it came from?”
The thin old woman asked towards Ning Deshan.
“Like you, Madam Bai, I have not seen this type of spirit plant before.”
Ning Deshan shook his head.
“No matter, anyway, after bringing it out of the secret realm it can be handed over to the cultivators of the Grand Chamber of Commerce to identify and recognize it.”
“There are exactly six Spirit Peaches, why don’t we each take half, what does Fellow Daoist Ning think?”
Lady Bai voiced a suggestion.
“All at Fellow Daoist Bai’s disposal.”
“Let’s put it this way, Fellow Daoist Bai, you go up and pick those six spirit peaches while I monitor the protection on the side in case there are any outlaws or demonic beasts sneaking in.” “Alright, please, Fellow Daoist Ning.”
A long, pure white damask floated out from the crone’s sleeve, fluttering around her body.
The long damask was a third-grade defensive artifact with decent protective capabilities.
She took a step forward, spanning a distance of five or six feet, and arrived right below the Spirit Peach Tree.
With Ning Deshan’s supervision, coupled with the pure white long damask magic weapon on her own body, she was incomparably at ease.
Reaching out, she plucked a pinkish-white fresh spirit peach and couldn’t help but sniff it, then served it on a silver plate.
“Fellow Daoist Ning, this spirit peach ……”
She turned around and was about to tell the spirit peach that the grade was better than expected when, suddenly, a bolt of dark light traveled as fast as lightning, passing through the barrier of the long damask and instantly arriving at her chest.
“How dare you sneak up on me!”
Before the crone could react, a dark bone claw was deeply inserted into her heart.
Looking up, she only saw that one of Ning Deshan’s arms had already transformed into a dry black claw, and was standing not far away coldly looking at herself.
Before she could react, another shuttle-shaped magic weapon shot in extremely fast, and the majestic aura rushed through her entire sea of consciousness.
“The Heart Locking Claw secret technique, coupled with a sneak attack by a third grade magic weapon, should be dead beyond death.”
After confirming that the crone was completely dead, Ning Deshan came to her.
The ebony bone claws jumped out of her heart and merged into the dry arm.
Under the effect of the healing elixir, the dry arm continued to grow new sinews and flesh, only it looked much smaller than the other normal arm.
This was a secret art he had mastered called the Heart Locking Claw, which was able to burn the essence and blood muscles of the arm, instantly erupting into an extremely powerful force.
Combined with the sneak attack of the pike-shaped magic weapon and his own deep understanding of his best friend, he was thus able to completely resolve it in just a few breaths.
“Don’t blame me for being so ruthless, this Multi-Life Peach is simply too important to me.”
“A single Multi-Life Peach can add five to ten years of longevity, even if the effect diminishes after repeated doses, it can still renew me for a long time, so how do you think I’d be willing to equally share this kind of treasure with you?”
Ning Deshan smiled without smiling and said sorrowfully towards the corpse of the old crone on the ground.
He knew that he was approaching the end of his days, so he had gone to great lengths to collect pills, spiritual fruits, and secret techniques that could add to his longevity, and he happened to see an introduction about this spiritual peach in a tome.
The peach is called the Peach of Longevity, a fifth-grade spiritual plant that can add five to ten years of longevity depending on the cultivation level of the cultivator.
This was considered a priceless treasure for Ning De Mountain, who had a short lifespan.
Upon seeing the Spirit Peach, he recognized its origin at the first glance, and his thirst for longevity far exceeded his friendship with the skinny crone, thus, he did not hesitate to sneak attack and kill her.
“With these six Multi-Life Peaches, I can have a few more decades of longevity, and if I’m lucky I might be able to use this to break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and change my fate against the heavens.”
Ning Deshan could not suppress the smile at the corners of his mouth as if he was seeing a wonderful scene in his future.
He took a deep breath and restrained his inner joy as he vigilantly scanned his surroundings while rapidly approaching the Different Longevity Peach Spirit Tree.
“My longevity ……”
The moment he was about to touch the pink-white spirit peach, his outstretched arm couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
“With so many spirit peaches that can add to longevity, isn’t Fellow Daoist Ning afraid that if he eats too many of them, he won’t live long enough to reach the end of his lifespan?”
Suddenly, a light laugh rang out.
