Chapter 327: Longevity Peach
The Demon Ghost Vine was a fifth-grade spirit plant obtained from the medicinal garden within the Blessed Land. It had a penchant for devouring spiritual essences and plant leaves, possessing an extremely sensitive perception of spiritual essences.After obtaining it from the medicinal garden, Lu Xuan followed its guidance and managed to obtain the six-grade Ancient Spirit Plant, the Phoenix Wood, from among three fellow disciples.
Since it reacted in such a manner, it indicated that there must be a high-grade spirit plant ahead.
"Lead the way ahead. If we really find a high-grade spirit plant, once it matures, I'll make sure you have your fill," Lu Xuan casually fed it a large pancake.
The Demon Ghost Vine excitedly nodded, resembling a grey snake as it slithered forward, leaving behind traces of sticky mucus on the ground.
After a moment, Lu Xuan followed the Demon Ghost Vine to a desolate medicinal garden.
Most of the spirit plants in the medicinal garden had withered, appearing desolate, while a small portion grew normally. There were remnants of beast bones on the ground, instantly turning into shattered bones underfoot.
"This medicinal garden seems a bit off," Lu Xuan sensed a cool sensation emanating from the Pure Jade Talisman hanging around his neck, indicating the presence of sinister energy within the medicinal garden.
Fortunately, the cool sensation hadn't escalated to freezing levels, indicating that he had complete control over the sinister energy.
Carefully observing the surroundings and confirming that there were no abnormalities, Lu Xuan walked towards the center of the medicinal garden.
The deeper he went, the more desolate the medicinal garden became. However, when he reached the center, he saw a peach tree flourishing with lush branches and leaves.
The spiritual energy around the peach tree was dense, emitting a fragrance from afar, enticing people to approach.
Lu Xuan was about to use the Spiritual Rain technique to see if he could gather information about the peach tree when suddenly, countless nearly transparent threads emerged from the cloak draped over him, instantly concealing his entire body.
It seemed as though a thin layer of special substance covered his eyes, creating a sense of detachment and unreality when observing the various things within the medicinal garden.
He sensed someone approaching.
After a few breaths, two Foundation Establishment cultivators followed a butterfly with spiritual runes fluttering on its wings and arrived in front of the peach tree.
One was an old man with a sinister aura, and the other was a thin old woman.
"I didn't expect there to be a high-grade spirit plant here."
The old woman, with her face covered in wrinkles resembling ravines, reached out her hand, and the butterflies that were originally circling the peach tree flew back to her hand.
"It's all thanks to Lady Bai having this spiritual rune butterfly, which can sense the spiritual energy contained within the plants. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to find," Ning Deshan, the old man with the sinister aura, said in a low voice, his gaze fixed on the peach tree emitting a tempting fragrance.
The thin old woman was called Lady Bai and was the master of a small island in the archipelago. The two of them had known each other for nearly a hundred years, so after entering the secret realm, they invited each other to explore for opportunities and treasures.
She raised a spiritual rune butterfly, which had a keen sense of perception for various spirit plants. With its guidance, they were able to quickly find this spiritual peach tree.
"This spiritual peach tree...," Lady Bai turned around to tell Ning Deshan that the grade of the spiritual peach was better than expected when suddenly, a dark light pierced through the obstruction of the long silk and instantly reached her chest.
"How dare you attack me!"
Before the old woman could react, a black bone claw plunged deep into her heart.
Looking up, she saw Ning Deshan, with one arm already transformed into a withered black claw, standing not far away, looking coldly at her.
Before she could react, another shuttle-shaped artifact shot over at high speed, and a vast amount of spiritual energy broke through her sea of consciousness.
"Locking Heart Claw technique, combined with a third-grade artifact ambush, should ensure that she dies without a chance of survival."
After confirming that the old woman was completely dead, Ning Deshan walked up to her.
The black bone claw jumped out of her heart and merged into his withered arm.
Under the effect of the healing pill, the withered arm continuously grew new muscles, but it looked much smaller than the other normal arm.
This was a secret technique he mastered called the Locking Heart Claw, which could burn the blood and muscles on the arm, erupting with extremely powerful strength in an instant.
Combined with the ambush of the shuttle-shaped artifact and his profound understanding of his friend, he was able to completely resolve the situation in just a few breaths.
"Don't blame me for being so heartless. This Longevity Peach is too important to me."
"A single Longevity Peach can add five to ten years to my life. Even if the effect diminishes after repeated consumption, it can still give me a long time. How could I bear to share such a treasure with you?"
Ning Deshan smiled sarcastically, looking at the corpse of the old woman on the ground.
He knew that his end was near, so he spared no effort to collect elixirs, spiritual fruits, and secret techniques that could extend his life. He accidentally saw information about this peach in a book.
The peach was called the Longevity Peach, a fifth-grade spiritual plant. Eating it could add five to ten years to a cultivator's life span, depending on their cultivation level.
For Ning Deshan, who had a short life span, this was an invaluable treasure.
After seeing the peach, he immediately recognized its origin. His desire for longevity far outweighed his friendship with the thin old woman. Therefore, without hesitation, he ambushed and killed her.
"With these six Longevity Peaches, I can add decades to my lifespan. With luck, I might even break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment
stage and defy the heavens."
Ning Deshan seemed to see the wonderful scene of his future, suppressing the smile that couldn't be hidden at the corners of his mouth.
Taking a deep breath, he restrained the joy in his heart, while vigilantly scanning the surroundings and quickly approaching the peach tree of Longevity Peaches.
"My lifespan..."
The moment his outstretched hand was about to touch the pink and white Longevity Peach, his arm trembled involuntarily.
"With so many Longevity Peaches, aren't you afraid, Senior Ning, that you'll eat too many and not live to see a natural death?"
Suddenly, a light laughter sounded.
