The peak of Kunlun Mountain.
Amidst swirling mist, a peach tree grew in the crevice of a cliff.
Luo Chen and the White Ape stood by a rugged path beneath the tree, watching quietly.
This peach tree was exceptionally thick, its black bark marked with countless cracks and fissures, the traces of ages past. It had been growing for at least several thousand years.
Truly a celestial treasure.
From Luo Chen's Heaven-Human perception, such a spirit treasure was already the limit of the ordinary martial arts world. To increase one's cultivation, to prolong life, was no idle talk.
However, on the peach tree at this moment, only thirty-two unripe fruits hung.
Clearly they were not yet ripe.
"Sorry, Master."
The White Ape scratched its head sheepishly: "I've been greedy all these years and eaten all the ripe peaches. There are only thirty-odd unripe ones left."
"It's alright."
Luo Chen said calmly.
He was thinking, if he were to imbue this peach tree with spiritual energy, it would inevitably undergo a transformation, and perhaps even have a chance to become a true Immortal Peach.
However, whether the imbued peach tree could continue to grow in the environment of the martial arts world was a question.
After all, the stronger the spiritual treasure, the more concentrated the celestial qi it needed for normal growth.
【叫我小东邪】：“Heavens, there is such a wondrous peach tree in the world, growing on a cliff face? Looking at its appearance, it must have survived for at least a thousand years."
【大蜜蜜本尊】：“The vast world holds countless wonders. Your world also has such spirit treasures. It is said that Yang Guo gained a sudden surge in power after consuming a giant python's gall bladder.
A gall bladder? Guo Xiang was taken aback. She never expected Yang Guo to have such a strange encounter.
But thinking about it, it wasn't surprising that he could obtain the Sword Demon's legacy.
However, after knowing this, Yang Guo's position in her heart unknowingly began to fade.
【华山派掌门】：“Alas, what a pity. These peaches look unripe, and they probably don't have the effect of increasing cultivation."
【退婚不后悔】：“We also have spirit treasures in our world, but without exception, they are all violently energetic and cannot be absorbed by humans. Only through the methods of alchemists can they be transformed into consumable pills. If this peach were ripe, I would give everything I have for it."
【双魂蜘蛛女】：“Our world has Immortal Herbs, but most of them have unclear effects and cannot be consumed. I wonder if this spirit treasure could increase my soul power?"
【华山派掌门】：“Regardless, unripe peaches are useless. I wonder if the Great God Luo has a way.”
Mentioning the Great God Luo, everyone’s eyes lit up.
He could awaken the White Ape’s intellect and make it speak human language. Perhaps he had a way to hasten the ripening of the spirit peach!
‘Just a spirit peach tree, it’s completely useless to me, a Heaven-Human. ’
‘Might as well try to imbue it to become a higher-level existence. ’
Luo Chen immediately raised his hand and pointed. The peach tree before him instantly underwent a change!
【You have imbued the Kunlun Spirit Peach, transforming it into a Heavenly Spirit Root, the One-Qi Immortal Peach】
【The One-Qi Immortal Peach expressed its disdain for this world with its thin spiritual qi, and actively grew roots, anchoring itself into the Kunlun Dragon Vein】
【The One-Qi Immortal Peach absorbs the power of the Dragon Vein, allowing it to grow rapidly】
Could it be like this?
Luo Chen smiled. He had truly underestimated spirit roots.
The peach tree, imbued to become a Heavenly Spirit Root, already possessed certain means.
It had directly found the Dragon Vein beneath Kunlun Mountain and anchored itself within it, absorbing an endless supply of nourishment!
The old peach tree, like withered wood encountering spring, blossomed with pink flowers and green leaves, emitting an intoxicating fragrance. The thirty-two unripe peaches quickly ripened, transforming into mature Immortal Peaches as delicate and juicy as a maiden’s blushing cheeks!
【华山派掌门】：“It really works? Kneeling down to the Great God Luo!"
【叫我小东邪】：“With a thought, you revitalize withered wood, ripen the spirit peaches… Anyway, kneeling down to the Great God Luo!"
【大蜜蜜本尊】：“This scene reminds me of a phrase, ‘When I become the Green Emperor in the future, I will open my bloom alongside the peach blossoms.’ This is the power of the God of Spring."
【退婚不后悔】：“Kneeling down to the Great God Luo!"
【双魂蜘蛛女】：“Kneeling down to the Great God Luo!"
…
In the scene, Luo Chen remained composed.
If he wasn't worried about imbuing something monstrous, he could even imbue the world, but the consequences of doing so would be too terrifying and easily spiral out of control.
He would not do such a thing until he possessed more power.
"White Ape, consume an Immortal Peach and try cultivating the 《Nine Yin Nine Yang》."
"Yes, Master!"
Following Luo Chen's instructions, the White Ape climbed the tree and picked an Immortal Peach.
Then, like a human, it immediately sat cross-legged and began practicing.
The secret manual of the 《Nine Yin Nine Yang》 had been given to it by Luo Chen previously, and it resided within its mind.
The moment the Immortal Peach entered its mouth, it instantly transformed into incredibly pure power. Guided by the 《Nine Yin Nine Yang》, it began to be refined into true essence and circulated through its body.
Every meridian, every acupoint, was opened.
The White Ape's cultivation began to rapidly increase, its aura growing stronger!
Third-rate, Second-rate, First-rate, Grandmaster, Innate Grandmaster!
Finally, amidst a thunderous surge of aura, the White Ape entered the Realm of Land Immortal!
It must be remembered that after being imbued by Luo Chen, it was no ordinary ape, but a Cang Xue Ling Yuan, a snow ape, whose innate talent was a hundred times stronger than that of ordinary humans.
Coupled with the Immortal Peach providing an endless supply of power, it had truly ascended to the heavens in one step.
The White Ape opened its eyes, and instantly a pair of divine rays shot up to the heavens, cleansing the sky for a hundred paces. Vaguely, a Heavenly Gate appeared.
After reaching Land Immortal, the next pursuit of normal martial practitioners was ascension.
【华山派掌门】：“It’s already a Land Immortal? I’m not mistaken, am I?!”
