The demon ghost vine is a fifth-grade demon-changing spiritual plant obtained from the Langyue Fudi Li Medicine Garden. It likes to eat spiritual seeds, and the branches and leaves of spiritual plants. 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 definitely let you have a full meal after it is cultivated and matured.”
Lu Xuan casually fed him a big cake.
The gray vines of the Demonic Ghost Vine nodded excitedly, crawling like a gray snake, leaving deep and shallow traces of mucus on the ground.
After a while, 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 is growing normally, and there are bones of monster beasts remaining on the ground. They turn into broken bones when stepped on.
“There’s something wrong with this medicine garden.”
There was a cool breath coming from the Wugou Jade hanging around Lu Xuan’s neck, 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 further in, the medicine garden becomes more and more desolate, 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 Hidden 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, 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 would be a high-grade spiritual plant here.”
The skinny old woman’s face was covered with wrinkles that looked 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 that can detect the spiritual energy of vegetation contained in the spiritual plant, otherwise it wouldn’t be so easy to find.”
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 pattern butterfly and had a keen sense of all kinds of spiritual plants. Under its guidance, she was able to quickly find this spiritual peach tree.
“This spirit 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.”
Ning Deshan 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 half as much as each of us. What do you think, fellow Daoist Ning?”
Madam Bai suggested.
“Everything follows the arrangements of Fellow Daoist Bai.”
“Let’s do this. Fellow Daoist Bai, you step forward and pick the six spiritual peaches, while I will monitor the protection from the side to prevent any sneak attack by bad people or monsters.”
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 spiritual peach tree.
With Ning Deshan’s supervision and the pure white long silk magic weapon on her body, she felt extremely at ease.
He reached out and picked out a pink and white fresh peach, couldn’t help but smell it, and then placed it on a silver plate.
“Friend 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, standing not far away looking at him coldly.
Before she could react, another spindle-shaped magic weapon shot towards her at high speed, and the majestic spiritual energy broke through her entire sea of consciousness.
“The secret technique of the Heart-locking Claw, coupled with the sneak attack of the third-grade magic weapon, should make him die as hard as he can.”
After Ning Deshan confirmed that the old woman was completely dead, he came to her.
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 Heart Locking Claw, which can burn the essence and blood muscles in his arms and instantly burst out with extremely powerful power.
Coupled with the sneak attack of the fusiform magic weapon and his deep understanding of his friend, he was able to completely solve it 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 such a treasure with you?”
Ningde Shanpi smiled, and said pitifully towards the corpse of the old woman 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 his 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 eating, it can increase the life span of 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 Ling Tao, he recognized the origin of Ling Tao 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 couldn’t 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 Lingtao, 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.
