Chapter 406: 406: Heavenly Peach Orchard
Others didn’t know what Yue Xuexia had done with those flower roots she left behind at that herb field. Di Lou and Hou Wen felt embarrassed for causing such a problem and didn’t notice what Yue Xuexia had done. They can only follow Yue Xuexia to the next place where they can pick a few more herbs.
Like before, she would tell them the instructions at every place they stopped too. This time it is an orchard of Heavenly Peach, which had a longevity effect. The four looked at each tree full of peaches.
Yue Xuexia cut off their greedy thoughts with her words.
She said the next instructions: "You can only pick three ripe fruits from each tree. Don’t be greedy. I won’t save you if you don’t follow my instructions."
The four wanted to ask why they could only pick three fruits at each tree, especially when each tree had more than a dozen fruits. However, in the end, they didn’t ask. After all, at the last place they came from, even though it was by accident, the moment Hou Wen broke her rules, his life was put in danger.
They can only follow the instructions and take only three peaches from each tree. While picking, they can feel eyes on them, but they couldn’t find the source of it alone. They wanted to investigate it, but Yue Xuexia suddenly said something about it.
She said, "Ignore it. That would come out if you broke the rules I told you to follow."
All four of them shivered when they heard Yue Xuexia’s words. As this means that there is truly something in this peach orchard that was watching every one of their moves, and once they broke the rules that Yue Xuexia had told them, that thing would come out and kill them.
Fu Lili curiously asked, "Miss Yue, is there an owner of this place? Is it the one who told you about the rules?"
"It was actually not the rules of this place, but simply something they are willing to allow me to take. If I am not here, you can’t take away even the fruit. Well, it was not actually the owner of this place, but more like a guardian. Its cultivation level is... at most the Yuanying realm?" Yue Xuexia said.
The moment they heard her say Yuanying, they realized that with her coming with them to this place, they would be killed without a fight. After all, the strongest among them is only in the mid-stage innateness realm.
Mo Jue asked, "Miss Yue, what about our Senior Brother Wan and Young Lord Lin? If they accidentally break the rules, will they die?"
"Of course! However, do not worry. I don’t think their master will let them leave without instructions or something to protect them. You’ll meet them sooner," said Yue Xuexia as she noticed that they had finished taking the peaches she had asked them to take.
Taking three peaches and cutting them, she shared them with the other four. One peach for her as a snack, and gave each of them half a peach. After all, they are too weak to eat one whole peach without exploding.
Yue Xuexia said, "Eat and meditate. This fruit will increase your lifespan for another 20 years and give you 10 years worth of cultivation Qi. Don’t worry, I will be here to protect you as you meditate."
The four didn’t hesitate and sat down to cultivate after eating the longevity peach. Yue Xuexia was leaning on a tree holding a peeled peach on a fork, slowly eating it, when a small peach fairy appeared in front of her. It is a cute little one that doesn’t have a humanoid form but a round, pinkish fur ball.
Shen Jueyang commented about seeing it, {This is a... baby greedy beast?}
"Greedy Beast? A Taotie?" asked Yue Xuexia.
Shen Jueyang said, {It is similar to Taotie, but this is a kind of fairy that loves fruit. It loves to eat sweet things the most, regardless of whether it has energy or not. It gave you a peach; now it was asking if you had something sweet and unique to give it.}
"Something sweet and unique. How about chocolates? This realm doesn’t seem to have one!" Yue Xuexia said as she took a few boxes of chocolate into her inventory. This is also her favorite snack, and she had a lot in her storage of various kinds and flavors as well.
Shen Jueyang said, {Chocolate? Indeed, that thing doesn’t even exist in the Immortal World. You can give it a try if ’it’ would like it.}
Yue Xuexia opened a chocolate and passed it to the cuddly, cute being flying around her.
She said, "Try this one, little one. If you like it, I can pay for a few boxes of these things together with a sapling of a cocoa tree and sugar cane. There are also a lot of ingredients needed to make it. I will teach you how to make chocolate from cocoa beans."
The little pink fur ball accepted the round chocolate ball from Yue Xuexia’s hand. After eating one, it shocked me excitedly as if it had eaten the best thing in the world. Yue Xuexia happily fed it more and gave it a mountain of chocolate.
Seeing that she liked it a lot, she also took a few cocoa trees and sugar canes into her small world. Then she passed on her modern knowledge of how to create chocolate and what others needed to create one. The little fairy dances in happiness, looking so cute and cuddly.
Hahaha~
Yue Xuexia said, "You like it that much, you little glutton~"
All of a sudden, a grade ten golden peach tree sapling appeared in front of Yue Xuexia. Obviously, she knew it came from the little one. However, this is a rare tenth-grade tree. For magical trees, the higher the grade, the rarer and harder it is to grow. The ordinary seventh-grade peach tree she got from the Heavenly Sword Sect cannot be compared to this golden peach tree.
This is a tree that was born with divine consciousness. It not only has a spirit; the effects of its fruits were something out of this world. It can revive the dead.
On such a rare occasion, Shen Jueyang was surprised. {This greedy beast must not be something of this world. Even in the place where I came from, this Golden Peach is something considered a legend. You should hide it well, Xue’er.}
The little one left when it felt that among those other humans, a few of them were about to wake up. This greedy beast only shows itself before those it is interested in or likes. Since the two had finished exchanging gifts, the little one had long disappeared. In Yue Xuexia’s basket, three golden-colored ripe peaches were left by the little fairy.
After all, it would take years before the sapling in Yue Xuexia’s possession bore fruit. He gave some from his tree and secretly gifted it to the little one. Seeing this, Yue Xuexia chose to leave another basket of sugar-type and gummy-type candies for the little one. So, when it gets bored with chocolate. It can try the others.
The four people in front of her started to wake up from their meditation. The effects of the heavenly peach they ate greatly increased their strength, and those who were on the verge of a breakthrough had passed it and reached the next realm. Di Lou and Hou Wen, as well as Fu Lili, increased the stage. As for Mo Jue, who is at the Peak Foundation realm, he broke through the Innateness Realm in one go. Because of that, he needs to suffer a heavenly tribulation.
Yue Xuexia said, "Move away from Mo Jue. He is about to undergo tribulation."
To protect the orchard they are in, Yue Xuexia took out a formation that isolated a certain range of area from the outside. However, what it protects is the one from the outside rather than the one inside. Thus, when the first tribulation lightning fell, it directly hit Mo Jue unprepared. He should be thankful that his body is sturdier than others.
Everyone watches from the side as Mo Jue defends himself against the heavenly lightning. Among them, the only one worried was Fu Lili.
Fu Lili watches worriedly and mumbles, "Why did he suddenly break through? We haven’t prepared much yet."
"Don’t worry, Fu Shimei. Tribulation of an Innateness is not that powerful," Di Lou said.
Hou Wen added, "He also ate a treasure like a 9th-grade Heavenly Peach. His body is strengthened to its current limit. It should allow him to enter the Innateness Realm with no problem."
"Do you wish to break through to the Foundation Realm? I think if you eat one more, you can do so," Yue Xuexia said as she passed another half of the Heavenly Peach.
Unlike those who had reached the Innateness realm, the realm below it won’t suffer any heavenly tribulation. That’s why Yue Xuexia is urging Fu Lili to enter the Establishment Foundation Realm. This is also to help Fu Lili increase her strength as much as possible and lessen her chances of dying during the beast riot.
Fu Lili glanced at her senior brother, who was suffering from a tribulation just so he could increase his strength. She didn’t want to become a burden and accept the peach from Yue Xuexia’s hand.
"I... I want to try..." Fu Lili decided.
Yue Xuexia approved her decision and said, "Alright. Go ahead."
