Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 223 - 175: Seed Opening and Spirit Pregnancy, Ruthlessly Destroying Flowers

Ascending Immortal Island, Spiritual Resonance Cave.

Before a cliff in front of the mansion, Tao Qian was sitting cross-legged on a sleek, shiny slab of green jade, seriously flipping through a book in front of him.

The content of the book was horrifying and grotesque to say the least, yet calling it abhorrent was not an exaggeration.

Although Pan Hongniang bore the title "Nongyu Immortal," in front of Tao Qian's puppet, she appeared even more charming and adorable, almost like a real Peach Blossom girl.

But in reality, Pan Hongniang was a genuine devilish demon of the Heterodox Paths, with countless blood on her hands, and her divine soul and spirit had been taken over by heart demons; her body had long ago mutated and fallen.

The cultivation technique she practiced was naturally not orthodox.

Five Lusts Enchanting Immortal Scripture!

Not considered a Great Book, but its power was actually quite extraordinary, with many divine power skills included in its content.

Now, Tao Qian naturally had no interest in it, but he knew that any Loose Cultivator in the wilderness would go crazy for it, and would do anything to obtain it and cultivate.

Situ Fei had once been extremely eager for its further magic skills.

Tao Qian, however, was interested in one of its core magic skills, which was not about killing, "Planting Peach Secret".

"To monitor a territory, it's not absolutely necessary to own extremely rare treasures like the Sky Mirror or Returning Immortal Mirror; an alternative method might also be feasible."

"Just as I couldn't obtain the Control Demon Technique from the Secret Demon Sect, I found another way and developed my own means of controlling demons, which proved to be quite effective."

"This train of thought could be applied here as well."

With a flash of thought, Tao Qian had already finished reading the Peach-related magic skills in the Enchanting Immortal Scripture.

The speculation in his mind was immediately confirmed.

It was feasible!

Tao Qian's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to predict and analyze in his mind.

"Pan Hongniang's real base of operations is Peach Blossom Valley, which she established in her hometown. Although the valley is not equipped with terrifying forbidden techniques, its defenses are extremely strict; even a secular army of thousands charging in might not come out unscathed."

"The reason lies in the many Five Lusts Peach Trees controlled by the Peach Blossom spirits, all of which can exert tremendous effects."

"Those Peach Blossom spirits, to some extent, could serve the role of a mirror spirit."

"If I could also do the same, wouldn't that be more convenient?"

"Fortunately, during my cultivation of the second calamity, I coincidentally encountered an extraordinary life form passing through the territory of Meiling, and obtained one hundred and eighty Longevity Star Peach Seeds."

"Just by combining these peach seeds with forbidden techniques and planting them in the nodes of Source Qi, then cultivating a similar 'Peach Blossom Immortal Demon' type of elf to help me manage this island..."

With thoughts swirling, Tao Qian grew more excited.

With a wave of his hand, he took out a peach core that was shiny black and seemed to be carved from pure black jade, treated as a piece of fun ornament.

The Longevity Star Peach was indeed miraculous, its flesh could extend one's life by a year, and there was no limit to it.

Originally, Tao Qian received one hundred and eighty, but he didn't eat any; he removed the flesh cleanly, only keeping the cores.

Others saw it as wasteful, but to Tao Qian, it was maximizing benefits, the real opportunity lying therein.

At that time, he ripened the peach cores using Spirit Treasure Immortal Spirit Qi, obtaining precisely one hundred and eighty seeds that could be planted to cultivate Immortal Plants.

"Immortal Plant Spirit Root," these four words denote a significance far beyond ordinary magical treasures and alien objects."

"In this bizarre Cultivation World, even amongst the Twelve Daoist Sects and Buddhist Temples, and those thousand-year-old families, few possess an immortal value Spirit Root."

"It's said within the Taishang Dao, there grows an Immortal Peach Tree, whose fruits possess astounding effects."

"The Heterodox Sect, Nine Toad Sect, is also said to have an extraordinary laurel tree planted."

"And then there's the Great Freedom Temple, reputedly planting a grove of Six Roots Pure Bamboo."

"My Longevity Star Peach, of course, is far from comparable to these Spirit Roots, but within the Spirit Treasure Sect, it certainly counts as a rare item."

"Cultivating it up, however, won't be that easy either."

"Pan Hongniang's Five Lusts Peach Trees were planted using Evil Techniques, using blood, flesh, and other devilish matters as fertilizer... Some techniques can be referenced, but cannot be followed exactly."

"First, I'll find a Source Qi node and test it."

As the last thought fell, Tao Qian, holding the peach seed, disappeared from the spot.

Moments later, Tao Qian's figure appeared in a fertile and spirit-rich hidden valley on Yunhua Mountain.

Now, his attire had completely changed, most notably the jade shovel he was carrying on his shoulder, a gift from a certain Master Uncle, possessing the extraordinary power to split mountains without harming the Source Qi, with no hard rocks able to withstand a single strike from it.

Initially, it seemed extremely rare and precious. Later, when Zhong Doudou explained that this Master Uncle, called "Earth Virtue Daoist," commanded an Immortal Jade Mountain and specialized in crafting jade shovels and enjoyed gifting them generously.

Over time, anyone in the Spirit Treasure Sect with some status had a jade shovel.

Apart from this treasure for digging, Tao Qian also had floating behind him numerous jars, gourds, and stone boxes.

Contained within were nothing but some Spiritual Water Spirit Liquid, or special fertilizers used to cultivate strange flowers and herbs.

The newly acquired Spirit Treasure Jade Purifying Bottle was also swaying among them.

"Having achieved immortality and obtained an island, it seems I still have to plant trees."

Tao Qian silently muttered to himself, then began swinging the jade shovel.

As the Mountain Master of Yunhua Mountain, he clearly knew every Source Qi node on the mountain.

A single strike of the shovel, and a hole appeared immediately in front of him.

Thick Source Qi immediately began to emanate as Tao Qian took out a Longevity Star Peach Seed and gently tapped it against the blade of the Jade Hoe, leaving a wound that revealed the interior of the peach seed.

Then instantly, Tao Qian activated the Returning Immortal Technique, injecting his Divine Thought along with numerous Dharma Seals into the peach seed.

This technique, known as "seed opening and spirit pregnancy,"

allowed the plants grown from the seeds to birth elves and automatically acknowledge him as their master.

As the glow signifying successful spirit pregnancy flashed by, Tao Qian flicked his finger, causing the seed to fall into the pit. He then filled the pit with soil, watered and fertilized it in a smooth, flowing sequence.

After finishing, Tao Qian did not leave.

Instead, he took out the Ascending Immortal Token and directly activated the Forbidden Technique of Yunhua Mountain, starting to infuse a large amount of Source Qi into the pit before him.

Under such actions, ordinary plant seeds would immediately take root and sprout, growing rapidly, followed by blooming and bearing fruit.

This is how cultivators from the Major Sects typically planted trees and flowers.

The Longevity Star Peach Seed, being an Immortal Plant Spirit Root, naturally lasted a bit longer, but as the Source Qi reached a certain concentration, combined with the effects of multiple fertilizers and Spiritual Liquids, the peach seed unexpectedly sprouted roots and shoots without warning after dozens of breaths, and soaked in the almost liquefied Source Qi, it trembled for several moments and then suddenly shot up rapidly.

Under Tao Qian's watchful eyes, an extremely delicate, sturdy peach tree grew up in an instant.

And in the blink of an eye, it blossomed.

One after another, blossoms that were more vividly red than fresh blood emerged, exploding with a potent fragrance that enveloped the surroundings.

A gust of wind came, scattering the peach blossoms.

The densest bud gathered red light, and along with a tender cry, a Peach Blossom Spirit, no bigger than a palm and naked with petal wings on her back, was born.

The moment she opened her eyes, her gaze locked directly onto Tao Qian.

At the same time, an extremely faint voice entered Tao Qian's ears:

"Master!"

This voice was filled with a tender and weak charm, brimming with joy.

It seemed that any man in the world who heard it would lose the ability to resist, and would be eager to protect her, to kiss her.

Especially the next moment, the Peach Blossom Spirit flapped her wings and flew out of the bud, and as the red light circulated, she instantly transformed into the size of a fully grown Human Clan.

Still naked with her crimson body, she lunged towards Tao Qian.

"Master, hug your servant."

Such a scene, and such a tender voice.

If this were in the wild, it would make one vigilant.

But on one's own Immortal Mountain, especially with this Immortal Peach Tree and Peach Blossom Spirit, both of which were cultivated by oneself through Secret Technique,

a normal person would accept it naturally.

Unfortunately, Tao Qian was not quite normal at that moment.

Within the Hidden Valley, a sigh suddenly emanated, and then Tao Qian unleashed a Sword Qi, cleaving the tenderly beautiful Peach Blossom Spirit into two halves amid pitiful wails, scattering her fragrance and beauty to the wind.

In her last moments, the Peach Blossom Spirit cast a look of confusion at Tao Qian.

"Failed!"

Tao Qian furrowed his brows and uttered this phrase.

If there was a second person in this Hidden Valley, they might think that Tao Qian was madly lashing out without reason.

But unknown to others, both the Immortal Peach Tree and Peach Blossom Spirit appeared quite differently in Tao Qian's eyes at that moment, awakening memories from Tao Qian's past, a very familiar sight.

Indeed, the Immortal Peach Tree had grown, but its trunk and branches were rotting, secreting a peach-like sap with continuously emitting hallucinogenic pink gases, and every part of the peach tree was embedded with half-closed eyeballs.

Such was the Peach Tree, and so was the Peach Blossom Spirit, identical to what Tao Qian had previously encountered in the chambers of the Iron Buddha Temple.

Naked elf?

No, clearly it was a squealing, ghastly pink insect.

A long time ago in Iron Buddha Temple, Tao Qian had only glimpsed Pan Hongniang and the true form of those Peach Blossom Spirits in a moment of trance.

Now, Tao Qian didn't need it.

Obviously, because of the "Innate Spiritual Sensing" gifted by Senior Sister Xie Lingji, even though Tao Qian had yet to use that inspiration, just carrying it on him still maintained his spiritual vision at a high level.

It was the same when he saw Senior Sister Bai Yao.

Looking at this Immortal Peach Tree and Peach Blossom Spirit was likewise.

Though it made Tao Qian feel that everything in the world seemed bland, to some extent, it also saved him a lot of trouble.

"Is there a problem with the Fertility Technique?"

Just as Tao Qian mulled over this after killing the Peach Blossom Spirit, the Immortal Peach Tree grown from the Longevity Star Peach Seed began automatically bearing one after another large, plump Immortal Peaches under the influence of the copious Source Qi after blossoming, their thin skins enveloping a liquid that seemed like Jadescent Nectar.

The alluring scent of the Immortal Peaches instantly filled the entire Hidden Valley,

and began to drift out of the Hidden Valley, luring many exotic birds and beasts from Yunhua Mountain to come and peck and devour.

This scene resembled an Immortal Tree bearing fruit and attracting life to partake, each forming good karma.

Unfortunately, the truth was still harsh, as in Tao Qian's eyes, those juice-laden Immortal Peaches appeared even more terrifying.
