Chapter 285 - 256: Uploading Flat Peach Tree Shocking Price!_2
After entering,
What came into view was a woman who was several feet tall, wearing a phoenix crown and a golden glaze robe, incredibly dignified and noble.
The person in front of him… was said to be the Queen Mother who presided over the female immortals of the Three Realms.
Of course,
In the tales of Taoism, the Queen Mother was more commonly referred to as… Taohua West True Ten Thousand Mysterious Ancestral Mother.
“I, the Taoist priest, Xuanqing of the Taiji Truth, pay my respects to Taohua West True Ten Thousand Mysterious Ancestral Mother.” Xuanqing clasped his hands, making a Yin-Yang Finger Gesture, and raised it above his head, performing a respectful bow.
Hmm!
The Queen Mother responded and then looked up and down at Xuanqing, her eyes showing a hint of curiosity.
Nowadays,
The entire Heavenly Court was circulating stories about Xuanqing, such as his daily promotions, being the Old Lord’s favorite disciple, Great Immortal Zhenyuan calling him a young friend… Taibai’s full support… countless Ginseng Fruits… and so on.
Even she, who was in the Yaochi Immortal Realm, often heard her female immortals discussing these matters.
“Daoist Xuanqing, what brings you to my Yaochi ?” The Queen Mother asked indifferently.
“Your Highness, I’d like to make use of your Flat Peach Garden to cultivate and gather Five Elements Wood Qi Chaoyuan!”
Xuanqing didn’t hide anything and honestly stated his purpose.
In the end,
He took out more than a dozen ginseng fruits from his Game Backpack and respectfully presented them.
“I don’t have any good treasures for my first visit, only these few ginseng fruits… I hope Your Highness won’t find them too shabby!”
Seeing this,
The Queen Mother’s eyes flashed brilliantly as she thought to herself, ‘As expected.’
Among the current stories of “Daoist Xuanqing” in the Heavenly Court, there was one about him possessing countless ginseng fruits.
Even more exaggerated rumors claimed that the number of ginseng fruits Daoist Xuanqing had surpassed even those owned by the Great Immortal Zhenyuan.
“You are indeed thoughtful!”
The Queen Mother didn’t hesitate and accepted the ginseng fruits he offered. She then took a token out of her bosom.
“This is my decree, take it. When entering the Flat Peach Garden, just inform the Earth God inside the garden!”
After thinking for a moment,
She added, “Xuanqing, you are free to pick flat peaches in the garden, just don’t be like that naughty monkey, taking a bite and discarding them. Wasting is disgraceful!”
Hearing this,
Xuanqing was overjoyed. After taking the token, he bowed deeply again and said loudly, “Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I understand!”
Flat Peach Garden.
In addition to the misty air, there was also a heart-refreshing fruity aroma that could ensure a lifetime of health and safety for ordinary mortals who caught a whiff of it.
Xuanqing, with the Queen Mother’s decree in hand, arrived at the entrance of the Flat Peach Garden.
Before even entering,
He saw a short Earth God holding a wooden staff, who emerged from underground and blocked his path.
However,
Unlike the previously reckless fairy guards who scolded him, this Earth God seemed much slicker.
“Greetings to the superior immortal, this place is the Flat Peach Garden. May I ask what your purpose is in coming here?” The Earth God clasped his hands, maintaining a respectful but not too humble demeanor.
As a guardian Earth God in the Flat Peach Garden, he was naturally different from ordinary Earth Gods. As the saying goes, a three-rank official stands at the door of the prime minister’s residence.
“I have come to practice in the Flat Peach Garden. This is Her Highness’s decree!”
Xuanqing said indifferently, handing over the token.
After taking the token,
The Earth God didn’t ask too many questions. He bowed immediately and said, “So it is, please come in, Superior Immortal.”
“May I ask, Superior Immortal, would you like this old man to give you a brief introduction to the Flat Peach Garden?”
“I’ll take a look around by myself, you can continue with your tasks!”
Xuanqing waved his hand and stepped inside.
Upon entering the Flat Peach Garden,
He saw all-pink surroundings at a glance.
Accompanied by a breeze, the unique aroma rushed into the nostrils, making one feel refreshed and comfortable.
Besides that,
The peaches-white with shades of red, red with shades of pink-appeared even more tempting. No wonder that mischievous monkey couldn’t help himself upon entering.
However,
Xuanqing, who had seen and experienced many things, and had tasted countless Ginseng Fruits, was not tempted by these mere three-thousand-year-old flat peaches.
He didn’t linger in this area, but continued deeper into the garden.
The farther he went, the stronger the Ether Wood Essence in the air became.
Only when… stepping into the Nine Thousand Years Flat Peach area did he stop.
The concentration of Ether Wood Essence here has already reached an extreme level. Just taking one breath was enough to feel the pervasive essence.
If an ordinary mortal were to be here, it’s not even about eating peaches; just smelling the scent would probably be enough to make them immortal.
“This Flat Peach is actually a good thing, transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into Ether Wood Essence!”
“If it’s just used to enhance cultivation, it’s much better than Ginseng Fruits.”
Xuanqing couldn’t help but exclaim.
However… in terms of rank, even the Nine Thousand Years Flat Peach Tree couldn’t compare to the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
Not to mention anything else, just looking at the difference in quantity…
Between Heaven and Earth, there is only one Ginseng Fruit Tree, but there are three thousand and six hundred Flat Peach Trees, with one thousand two hundred each for three thousand years, six thousand years, and nine thousand years.
Of course.
Regardless of whether it’s a Flat Peach Tree or a Ginseng Fruit Tree, both are rare treasures in the Three Realms, so he naturally wouldn’t miss out on them.
“First, upload it to the store, and after returning to the real world, exchange one tree!”
Xuanqing thought secretly.
Ginseng Fruit is delicious, but eating it all the time… it still gets a bit monotonous. Having some Nine Thousand Years Flat Peach Trees…
By then, eating Flat Peaches today and Ginseng Fruits tomorrow, wouldn’t that be a great pleasure in life?
He arrived in front of a Flat Peach Tree.
A thought crossed his mind.
“Upload to the store!”
[Kind reminder: Since the rank of this item is too high, it requires a huge amount of time. Do you wish to spend 100,000 yuanbao to downgrade and upload?]
Hearing the prompt sound in his mind.
Xuanqing muttered in his heart without hesitation.
“Downgrade and upload!”
A mere hundred thousand ingots are nothing to Xuanqing now – it’s like a billionaire dropping a penny on the ground, too lazy to pick it up because in the time it took to pick it up, they would have already earned it back.
[Product uploading… 1%… 5%… 10%… 50%… 100%]
[Ding, upload successful, product added: Nine Thousand Years Pan Peach Tree Seedling (5 million)]
Five hundred million… Yuanbao?
Xuanqing was a little surprised in his heart.
Unexpectedly, as one of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots of Heaven and Earth, this Nine Thousand Years Flat Peach Tree could be exchanged for ingots, and it only needed five million.
Five million… this number, comparing to other products, is not cheap, but compared to the Ginseng Fruit Tree, it’s much, much cheaper.
You should know.
The Ginseng Fruit Tree cannot be exchanged for ingots at all, and must be exchanged using the higher-level currency ‘Heavenly Merit’.
Even later when he had a way to convert ingots into Heavenly Merits, to exchange for a Ginseng Fruit Tree, he still needed a full 100 million ingots.
So… one is five million ingots, and the other is over 100 million ingots. The difference between the two is obvious.
Now that the item is in hand.
Next… it’s time for cultivation!
“Begin cultivation!”
Xuanqing sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
In Flat Peach Garden, there was no need to worry about being disturbed, so he didn’t set up any formation and started practicing right away.
Wood belongs to the liver.
As the saying goes, an excess of liver fire is actually caused by having too much wood Qi. In the Five Elements cycle, wood can give birth to fire, which in turn leads to excessive internal heat.
The Five Elements of Heaven and Earth give birth to and restrain one another, and every little movement affects the whole body.
Accompanied by the circulation of Xuanqing’s Gold Qi and Water Qi… in the end, he was able to draw in and absorb the rich Ether Wood Essence in the air and direct it towards his liver.
Introduce Wood Essence into the body, transforming the liver… to a level capable of accommodating the Chaoyuan Power.
This step isn’t too difficult.
In an environment so rich in Ether Wood Essence, it only took a few hours… before Xuanqing felt that the liver inside his body was about to complete its transformation.
It was at this moment.
[Ding, incense accumulates to 2 billion, Daoist immortal officer is promoted from the second rank!]
A system prompt interrupted the peaceful cultivation.
One day in heaven, one year on earth.
Although he had been cultivating in the Flat Peach Garden for just several hours, half a year had already passed in the Human World.
Even in the real world, more than ten days had passed.
He had originally accumulated 1.81 billion. After more than ten days in the real world, the incense naturally increased to 2 billion.
“Temporarily disregard the Immortal Officer promotions, first complete the Five Elements Wood Qi Chaoyuan cultivation!”
Xuanqing steadied his mind and pondered.
As the saying goes…. there’s nothing bigger than cultivation!
