Chapter 327 The Longevity Peach
The demon ghost vine is a fifth-grade demon-changing spiritual plant obtained from Langyue Fudili Medicine Garden. It likes to eat spiritual seeds and plant branches and leaves. It has extremely keen perception of spiritual seeds.
After getting it in the medicine garden, Lu Xuan followed its guidance and won the sixth-grade ancient spiritual plant Phoenix Tree from three fellow sects.
Since it reacts like this, it means that there must be a high-grade spiritual plant ahead.
“Lead the way. If we really find a high-grade spiritual seed, I will make sure you have a full meal after it is cultivated and matured.”
Lu Xuan casually fed him a big cake.
The gray vine of the Demonic Ghost Vine nodded excitedly, crawling like a gray snake, leaving deep and shallow traces of mucus on the ground.
A moment later, Lu Xuan followed Yaogui Teng to a desolate medicine garden.
Most of the spiritual plants in the medicine garden have dried up and look like they are withered. A small part of them are growing normally. There are still bones of monster beasts on the ground, which turn into broken bones when stepped on.
“There’s something wrong with this medicine garden.”
The Wushou jade hanging around Lu Xuan's neck gave off a cool breath, which meant that there was an evil atmosphere hidden in the medicine garden.
Fortunately, the cool feeling has not yet reached the freezing level, which means that the evil aura is completely under 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 medicine garden becomes more desolate as you go further in, but at the very center, there is a peach tree growing with luxuriant branches and leaves.
The peach trees are full of spiritual energy, and a refreshing fragrance can be heard from a distance, making people unable to help but get close to them.
Lu Xuan was about to cast a spiritual rain spell to see if he could get information about the peach tree.
Suddenly, countless almost transparent threads emerged from the surface of the invisible spirit cloak draped on his body, hiding Lu Xuan's entire body in an instant.
His eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of special substance, and he felt alienated and unreal when looking at many things in the medicine garden.
He sensed someone approaching.
After a few breaths, the two foundation-building monks followed a butterfly with wings covered with spiritual patterns to the peach tree.
An old man with a sinister temperament and a thin old woman.
“I didn’t expect that there are indeed high-grade spiritual plants here.”
The skinny old woman’s face was covered with wrinkles like ravines. She stretched out her hand and the butterflies that were flying around the peach tree fell back into her hand.
“It’s thanks to Madam Bai that she has this spiritual pattern butterfly and can detect the spiritual energy of vegetation contained in the spiritual plant, otherwise it wouldn’t be so easy to find it.”
The old man Yinjiu was clearly Ningdeshan, who had met Lu Xuan several times. At this moment, he was staring at the peach tree that exuded an alluring fragrance and whispered.
The thin old woman, known as Madam Bai, is the owner of a small island in the archipelago. The two have known each other for a long time and have had a friendship for nearly a hundred years. Therefore, after entering the secret realm, they invited them to explore the chance treasure together.
She raised a spirit-patterned butterfly, which had a keen sense of all kinds of spiritual plants. Under its guidance, she was able to quickly find the spiritual peach tree.
“This spiritual peach seems to have an unusual origin. Does Fellow Daoist Ning know its origin?”
The thin old woman asked Ning Deshan.
“Similar to Madam Bai, I have never seen this kind of spiritual plant.”
Ningdeshan shook his head.
"It doesn't matter. After taking it out of the secret realm, you can hand it over to the monks of the Great Chamber of Commerce for identification."
“There are exactly six spiritual peaches, not as good as half for each of us. What do you think, fellow Daoist Ning?”
“Everything must be obeyed by Fellow Daoist Bai.”
"Let's do this. Fellow Daoist Bai, you go forward and pick the six spiritual peaches, while I will monitor and protect you from the side to prevent sneak attacks by bad people or monsters." "Okay, please leave it to Fellow Daoist Ning."
A long pure white silk ribbon floated out of the old woman's sleeve and flew around her body.
Chang Ling is a third-grade defensive weapon with good protective capabilities.
She took a step forward, crossed the distance of five or six feet, and came to the place directly under the peach tree.
With Ning Deshan's supervision and the pure white long silk magic weapon on her body, she felt extremely at ease.
Hand out his hand, he picked out a pink and white fresh peach, couldn't help but smell it, and then placed it on a silver plate.
“Fellow Daoist Ning, this spiritual peach…”
She turned around and was about to tell Ling Tao that the grade was better than expected. Suddenly, a black light was as fast as lightning, passing through the barrier of Chang Ling, and came to her chest in an instant.
“How dare you sneak up on me!”
Before the old woman could react, a black bone claw penetrated deeply into her heart.
Looking up, he saw that one of Ning Deshan's arms had turned into a dry black claw, and he was standing not far away, looking at him coldly.
Before she could react, another fusiform magic weapon was shot at extremely fast speed, and the majestic spiritual energy broke through her entire sea of consciousness.
“With the secret technique of the Heart-locking Claw and the sneak attack with a third-grade magic weapon, I should be extremely dead.”
Ning Deshan came to her after confirming that the old woman was completely dead.
Black bone claws jumped out of her heart and merged into her withered arms.
Under the influence of the healing elixir, the withered arm continued to grow new muscles, but it looked much smaller than the other normal arm.
This is a secret technique he has mastered called the Heart-locking Claw, which can burn the essence and blood muscles in his arms, instantly bursting out with extremely powerful power.
Coupled with the sneak attack of the fusiform magic weapon and my deep understanding of my friends, I was able to completely eliminate him in just a few breaths.
"Don't blame me for being so heartless. This longevity peach is really important to me."
“A multi-life peach can increase my life span by five to ten years. Even if the effect weakens after repeated use, it can still last me a long time. Why do you think I would be willing to share this treasure with you?”
Ningde Shanpi smiled but said sadly to the old woman's corpse on the ground.
He knew that his time was coming, so he went to great lengths to collect elixirs, spiritual fruits, and secret techniques that could increase longevity. He accidentally saw an introduction to this spiritual peach in a classic.
The spiritual peach is called the Longevity Flat Peach, a fifth-grade spiritual plant. After being eaten, it can increase life span by five to ten years depending on the monk's cultivation level.
This is a priceless treasure for Ningde Mountain, which has a short life span.
After seeing Lingtao, he recognized the origin of Lingtao at the first sight. His desire for longevity far exceeded his friendship with the thin old woman, so he did not hesitate to sneak attack and kill her.
“With these six longevity peaches, my life span can be extended by several decades. If I’m lucky, I might be able to break through to the middle stage of foundation building and change my life against the odds.”
Ning Deshan seemed to see a wonderful scene in his future and could not suppress the smile on his lips.
He took a deep breath, restrained his inner joy, and while scanning the surroundings vigilantly, he quickly approached the Yishou Peach Spirit Tree.
“My longevity…”
The moment he was about to touch the pink and white peach, his outstretched arm couldn't help but tremble slightly.
“With so many spiritual peaches that can increase longevity, fellow Taoist Ning, aren’t you afraid that if you eat too much, you won’t live to the end of your life?”
Suddenly, a chuckle sounded.
