Chapter 173 - 172: Upload the Ginseng Fruit Tree, Invest Heavily!
Longevity Mountain.
Tall trees were lush and green, their leaves as vibrant as jade. Mist pervaded the air, condensing into droplets on the leaves, gleaming with a crystal-clear luster.
Not far away, a lucky cloud drifted slowly, stopping at the foot of Longevity Mountain. Standing atop the lucky cloud was a Taoist holding a feather duster.
The Taoist descended from the lucky cloud and looked around at the environment.
“Tsk tsk- The Ginseng Fruit Tree is truly worthy of being one of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots of Heaven and Earth, the spiritual Qi of this place has become even richer.”
Xuanqing couldn’t help but think to himself.
His Black Wind Mountain, compared to this Longevity Mountain, was like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon, and there was no way to compare them.
If a tree was also planted on Black Wind Mountain, it would probably transform Black Wind Mountain into one of the top Immortal Blessed Lands in the Three Realms in just a short time.
Arriving outside Wuzhuang Temple.
“Junior Xuanqing pays a visit to Great Immortal Zhenyuan!”
Xuanqing held his hands together, making a seal, and raising it high above his head as he shouted loudly.
For a moment.
Creak-
The door opened slowly, and the two child-like beings, Qingfeng and Mingyue, appeared before Xuanqing’s eyes.
“Greetings, Daoist Xuanqing. Sir has sent us to receive you!” Qingfeng bowed slightly and gave a greeting.
Compared to their first meeting, Qingfeng and Mingyue were now much more polite. After all, this Daoist Xuanqing was someone even their master called a young friend.
“I’m sorry for the trouble, two envoys.”
Xuanqing also bowed in return, not showing off his relationship with the Great Immortal Zhenyuan or acting arrogant.
Seeing this.
Qingfeng and Mingyue, the two child-like beings, nodded secretly in their hearts, and their impression of Xuanqing improved even more.
In a pavilion.
Leisurely music from a zither echoed around.
Within the deep and mellow notes, there was a hint of gracefulness. The music carried traces of the Dao, making the lotus flowers in the pond sway to the rhythm.
When the two child-like beings led a young Taoist priest holding a feather duster into the pavilion,
The zither music stopped abruptly!
“Haha, young friend, what brings you to my Wuzhuang Temple?”
Great Immortal Zhenyuan stood up and looked up and down at Xuanqing, feeling somewhat surprised in his heart.
He hadn’t paid attention to this young friend for a while, and his cultivation was now just a step away from condensing the Essence Flower.
More importantly, his physical body had undergone a tremendous change… It even faintly exuded a sense of breaking through the void. It was truly strange!
“Junior has come here to ask for some more Ginseng Fruits!” Xuanqing bowed his hands and spoke truthfully.
Asking for some Ginseng Fruits?
Great Immortal Zhenyuan’s expression was somewhat strange, and he asked curiously, “Young friend, did you already eat up all the hundreds of Ginseng Fruits from before?”
Xuanqing was slightly stunned and hastily waved his hands.
“This junior couldn’t possibly eat all the hundreds of Ginseng Fruits. Mainly, upon obtaining such a good item, I thought of my Ancestor Master, so I went to Douluo Palace and gave them to him as a gift!”
Hearing this,
Zhen Yuanzi had a sudden realization.
No wonder that when he went to Douluo Palace to discuss some matters with Old Lord a few days ago, he was treated with wine brewed from Ginseng Fruits.
Knowing the inside story, his impression of Xuanqing became even better.
You should know that,
For them, Ginseng Fruits were nothing more than delicious food, but for someone with Xuanqing’s cultivation level, they were top-grade treasures.
Despite this, Xuanqing had still thought of his Ancestor Master. This junior was indeed a kind-hearted person.
“Old Lord is indeed enviable to have such a disciple like you.”
Zhen Yuanzi sighed in admiration, then with a slight movement of his duster, he said, “Let’s go, we’ll head to the Ginseng Fruit Garden now.”
“Yes!
The closer they got to the Ginseng Fruit Garden, the richer the spiritual Qi in the air became.
Upon entering the garden, the concentration of the spiritual qi reached its limit, condensing into a mist. One could feel their pores open and a refreshing sensation just by breathing it in.
“Huh-”
Xuanqing couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
He looked at the Ginseng Fruit Tree as due to the heavy fog formed by the rich spiritual qi, coupled with it being taller than before, so he could only see the trunk clearly.
“I’m starting now!”
“Please!
Xuanqing walked to the Ginseng Fruit Tree and touched the trunk with both hands. He closed his eyes and silently said ‘accelerate’ in his heart.
[Ding! -90,000 Ingots]
At the moment 90,000 ingots were deducted, an incredibly profound power enveloped the Ginseng Fruit Tree out of thin air.
Off to the side,
Great Immortal Zhenyuan’s eyes slightly narrowed.
Even though he had seen young friend Xuanqing display his divine power several times, he still couldn’t see through it. It was indeed extremely mysterious.
After a while,
Thirty Ginseng Fruits condensed at the top of the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
Great Immortal Zhenyuan waved his duster and picked off the thirty Ginseng Fruits, sending them all to Xuanqing.
Seeing this,
Xuanqing hastily said, “That won’t do. I’ve already taken advantage of you before. If this continues, I’m afraid I won’t have the face to come again!”
This…
Great Immortal Zhenyuan hesitated slightly, but looking at Xuanqing’s determined expression, if he didn’t accept, the other party might really feel embarrassed to come again.
With this in mind,
“Fine, but these fruits are just a snack for me.” Great Immortal Zhenyuan said indifferently:
“Don’t mention the fifty percent from before again, otherwise you won’t be giving me face!”
Upon hearing this,
“Yes, yes, as senior says!” Xuanqing let out a bitter smile and quickly agreed.
Great Immortal Zhenyuan nodded in satisfaction, then took away three of the Ginseng Fruits as his sleeve waved.
Out of the thirty Fruits, he only took three…Taking only this ten percent was just to put Xuanqing’s mind at ease. It was enough to show the appreciation Great Immortal Zhenyuan had for Xuanqing in his heart.
Subsequently,
The process of using ‘time acceleration’ again and again began.
However,
Xuanqing deliberately slowed down the process. Each time he used time acceleration, it took longer than the last.
He did this to conceal the final ‘uploading’ of the Ginseng Fruits.
After all,
Based on his previous experience, the more valuable the item, the more time it took to upload it to the store.
On the tenth time he placed his hands on the Ginseng Fruit Tree,
Xuanqing didn’t use ‘time acceleration’ like before but muttered in his heart…
Upload!!!
[Product uploading… O.O1%….O.O2%….O.O3%…]
???
Seeing the uploading speed in his mind that was a hundred times slower than a snail,
Xuanqing was speechless.
Although he knew that the more amazing an item, the longer it took, but after half a day had passed, the progress had only reached 0.03%.
If this went on, who knew when it would be completely uploaded. By then, Elder Zhenyuan beside him might mistakenly think he had ill intentions towards the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
Just as he was considering whether to give up temporarily,
A notification in his mind turned the tide of events.
[Friendly reminder: The uploading time for this item is too long; players can spend Ingots to reduce the target to its infant form and reduce the upload time!]
“Hiss… Is this even a cultivation quantifier? It’s clearly a gold-devouring quantifier!”
Xuanqing couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Seeing this,
The Great Immortal Zhenyuan beside him frowned slightly, comforting him, “There is plenty of time; my young friend, don’t force yourself and hurt yourself!”
