Chapter 585: Chapter 382: Immortal Peach, Spiritual Tea_1
At Black Cloud Mountain, Yuan Hongyuan opened his eyes, seated beneath the Immortal Peach tree.
A message talisman descended, which he caught in his outstretched hand.
After reading the message, a look of hesitation appeared on his face, but in the end, he made up his mind.
“So, the time has finally come!”
Yuan Hongyuan muttered to himself, getting up from his seat.
Ever since obtaining the Huangquan Holy Fruit, he had been waiting for the order to assassinate Chen Guixian from the organization.
This wait lasted half a year.
“Ancestor, we have arranged for the key disciples in the clan, who possess Spiritual Roots, to be dispatched in batches to the territories of the other six major sects.”
The clan head of the Yuan family, Yuan Shaoyuan, promptly reported the situation from atop Black Cloud Mountain after receiving the order.
“Very good. If we all shift out, we will certainly draw the attention of the Divine Wood Sect and the other cultivating families. You and Little Si take a group of people to the White Moon Market to connect with the organization’s members in advance and arrange the assassination plan and formation.”
In the face of the imminent battle, Yuan Hongyuan felt surprisingly peaceful. He disclosed the location of the ambush to Yuan Shaoyuan, and then turned to look at the Rank-3 Immortal Peach Spirit Tree behind him. With a wave of his hand, he plucked off all the fruit on it, more than a dozen in total.
“Take these with you and announce that I have made a breakthrough and would wish to exchange them for the Bai family’s Snow Needle Immortal Buds to enhance my state of divine sense.”
“Yes, ancestor.”
Yuan Shaoyuan took the three peaches handed to him by Yuan Hongyuan, his hands trembling slightly.
These could be considered the most precious items of the Yuan family since Yuan Hongyuan’s Foundation Establishment a hundred years ago.
A hundred years ago, the Yuan family seized this land of Spirit Veins from the declining Liu family. But to ensure the Immortal Peach Spirit Tree wasn’t broken by the Liu family, Yuan Hongyuan not only let go of the Liu family’s descendants but even allowed them to take away all the mature spiritual medicines from the mountain’s medicinal fields.
That’s because the Immortal Peach Spirit Tree was simply too precious.
If it were to be broken, firstly, the rank-3 Spirit Vein on Black Cloud Mountain would fall, and secondly, the rank-3 Immortal Peaches produced by this Spirit Tree are renowned Spirit Fruits in the Eastern Wilderness.
If consumed by a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, each one could directly increase their Liquid Spiritual Power by 20 droplets, saving them years of laborious meditation.
These Rank-3 Immortal Peaches were essentially regarded as Rank-3 spiritual medicines, and moreover, they were pure and natural without any Danless Poison, each one being worth thousands of spirit stones.
However, although the fruit was good, only when consuming the first one would it provide all of its spiritual effects.
Upon consuming the second, the effect would be halved; by the third, the effect would be half of the second.
After consuming five, these Rank-3 Immortal Peaches would become useless to the cultivator.
Further consumption would merely satisfy one’s palate.
Yuan Hongyuan had long consumed five peaches, and among the descendants of the Yuan family, there were no other cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, so the fruits of this Immortal Peach Spirit Tree have been left untouched for the past hundred years.
Of course, if other cultivators wanted to exchange precious items for them, the Yuan family would be more than happy to oblige.
Just awhile ago, the ancestor of Bai family, one of Jian Country’s seven cultivating families, had previously exchanged their rare spiritual tea for three Immortal Peaches. A few years ago, someone in Bai family had successfully completed their Foundation Establishment. The ancestor of Bai family thought to exchange for three more peaches to increase the cultivation level of the junior members.
However, Yuan Hongyuan was busy with his own cultivation breakthrough and had not paid any attention to the matter.
Now, it seemed like a good time to raise the issue as an excuse to head to White Moon Market.
Yuan Hongyuan knew that family cultivators like them who were at the stage of Foundation Establishment were actually under observation by the Divine Wood Sect. As someone who usually held secluded cultivation sessions, leaving Black Cloud Mountain would easily draw attention.
However, after this planned assassination, the Yuan family wouldn’t be able to remain in Jian Country.
So, Yuan Hongyuan straightaway plucked all the fruit from the Immortal Peach Spirit Tree, regardless of whether they were mature or not.
However, he still couldn’t bring himself to cut down the Spirit Tree.
After all, if the Divine Wood Sect were to be destroyed in the future, his Yuan family might still have the chance to come back here.
…
After Chen Mobai ended his closed-door cultivation, he made his three disciples lead the commoners farming below South Mountain in dividing up the talisman papers, while he took control of the “Red Misty Cloud Silk” and shot into the sky.
Dividing his mind into thoughts, he dropped into his puppet. He first glanced at the spiritual energy bar on the top-right corner of his vision, which now showed only 39% remaining.
If it were any other immortal cultivator, they’d be incredibly distressed by this point, and even hesitant to proceed with the experiment.
However, Chen Mobai didn’t mind. He had been jumping between two worlds for many years now and had managed to replace the concept of the preciousness of spirit stones in his mind.
As the spiritual energy bar quickly decreased by 3%, the numbers in the eyes of the puppetry technique’s peak product jumped to “nine” simultaneously in a split second. Then, an energy current representative of a Gold Core, albeit a hundred times smaller, burst from the puppet’s forehead.
However, under Chen Mobai’s control, this energy concentrated and rushed straight into the sky.
As the sun in Tianhe Realm differed from the one back on Earth, Chen Mobai needed to re-explore the frequency to attract and absorb solar essence.
Two days later, when the puppet’s spiritual energy bar was almost below 30%, finally a wisp of solar essence was drawn down. After passing through the earth fetal membrane of Tianhe Realm, it transformed into Big Sun Purple Gas.
Seeing the purple gas in front of him, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but show a pleased expression. However, this was just the first step. Whether he could successfully refine Pure Yang Purple Gas depended on the puppet’s performance.
Under his divine sense’s urging, this masterpiece of immortal cultivation’s puppetry technique began to slowly circulate the spiritual power modeled in the puppet’s Dantian and Qi Sea to move it outside the body.
Although its size was reduced by a hundred times, it was indeed a real Pure Yang Spiritual Power at the Golden Core Stage. And it was more than sufficient for refining Pure Yang Purple Gas.
