In a short time, Kuafu's staff completely decomposed, transforming into a peach orchard.
Within Xuan Xiao's line of sight, there were only peach trees and peach blossoms. A rich fragrance of peach blossoms reached his nose.
Good heavens, what is the origin of Kuafu's staff? It inexplicably transformed into a peach orchard.
Xuan Xiao was shocked but also puzzled. However, he suddenly remembered the legend of Kuafu chasing the sun that was passed down on Earth. In the legend, after Kuafu died, his body transformed into a mountain, and his staff became a peach orchard.
Unexpectedly, the mythical story had come true. After Kuafu's demise, his staff had truly transformed into a peach orchard. What about his remains? Did they also turn into a mountain?
Xuan Xiao's heart tightened. He immediately rushed into the peach orchard formed by Kuafu's staff, searching for Kuafu's remains.
Kuafu's remains were extremely valuable. Xuan Xiao wanted to store them in his Life Cave Heaven. However, considering the unity and protectiveness of the Wu Tribe, they might come looking for Kuafu's remains. Therefore, he did not store them in the Life Cave Heaven, avoiding the exposure of this blessed land.
For this reason, Xuan Xiao specifically built an altar-like object, placed it under Kuafu's staff, and used it to store Kuafu's remains and the blood and flesh of the Golden Crow. Now that Kuafu's staff had changed, Xuan Xiao wondered if Kuafu's remains and the blood and flesh of the Golden Crow would also undergo a transformation.
If they both changed, Xuan Xiao would suffer a great loss.
Xuan Xiao quickly entered the peach orchard formed by the staff, sniffing the fragrance of the flowers and finding the altar.
Seeing Kuafu's remains and the blood and flesh of the Golden Crow on the altar, with no apparent changes, Xuan Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Since both were fine, Xuan Xiao began to observe the peach orchard formed by the staff to see if it had any special features.
...
Xuan Xiao's profound gaze, carrying the ethereal Daoist rhyme, swept across the peach orchard formed by Kuafu's staff, seeking its mysteries.
At this moment, Yun Xiao, accompanied by her clan members, entered the peach orchard, following Xuan Xiao.
"Husband..." Yun Xiao approached Xuan Xiao, her voice soft and gentle.
Xuan Xiao glanced at Yun Xiao, nodded, and continued to observe the peach orchard without saying much. However, after a while, he still couldn't find anything special about it. It was just an ordinary peach orchard.
But, a staff that could be used as a weapon by Kuafu couldn't be an ordinary object. Therefore, the peach orchard formed by the staff must have its unique characteristics. It's just that they haven't been discovered yet.
As Xuan Xiao continued searching, a gentle breeze blew, carrying the blooming flowers of the peach orchard, spreading a unique floral fragrance that filled everyone's nostrils.
The fragrant scent, clear and elegant, carried a faint life force. Under the influence of that life force, the clan members who had followed felt a refreshing feeling as if bathed in spring. The fatigue from years of hunting and their injuries gradually recovered.
Although Xuan Xiao had no injuries or fatigue, he instantly sensed something amiss.
"This peach blossom fragrance can actually heal injuries!" Xuan Xiao sensed his own changes and observed the changes in his clan members. His mind stirred as he confirmed the effect of the peach blossom fragrance, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
Good heavens, ever since Xuan Xiao obtained Kuafu's staff, remains, and the blood and flesh of the Golden Crow, he had been searching for a way to utilize them.
Unfortunately, Xuan Xiao lacked cultivation techniques. Facing these treasures, he genuinely didn't know how to use them. At most, he could burn his luck to improve his comprehension and wisdom, using it to comprehend Kuafu's and the Golden Crow's remains to create two new forms of martial arts.
Apart from that, the only thing Xuan Xiao could think of was to eat them. For this crude way of utilizing them, Xuan Xiao could only say it was too extravagant and wasteful. So, he simply kept them, waiting for the future when he found a way to use them.
But now, Kuafu's staff had undergone a transformation, becoming a peach orchard, gaining an additional healing effect.
This made Xuan Xiao quite distressed. What in the world is this? He possessed the Life Cave Heaven, which contained the Life Ancient Tree and the Life Nurturing Pool water, both of which had healing effects. Now, he had an additional peach orchard with healing powers. It was simply a case of repetition, a useless addition.
Xuan Xiao looked at his clan members who were enjoying themselves. He couldn't say anything. He could only send a message to Yun Xiao, who was equally distressed: "Just let them heal. It's better than nothing. Besides, it can also help conceal the treasures inside the Life Cave Heaven."
Yun Xiao nodded: "That's the only way."
However, as soon as they finished speaking, screams came from the mouths of his clan members.
It was Xuan Zhou, Xuan Ye, and several other clan members, as if suffering some sort of misfortune. They all screamed in agony.
"What's going on!" Xuan Xiao was startled. He looked at the nearby Xuan Zhou and asked.
Xuan Zhou clenched his fists, enduring the pain. He growled, "Leader! This, this peach blossom fragrance is poisonous. You, you must leave the peach orchard. The fragrance emanating from this orchard has a healing effect, but as the fragrance enters our bodies, the Qi and blood within us become agitated. It even sweeps through my heart and bones, making me feel as if I'm being burned alive!"
"Leader, you must leave. It's okay if we perish. But you are the leader of the Tianxing Tribe, and the hope of our human race. You must leave..."
Xuan Xiao's mind was in a state of panic. He agitated his Qi and blood, sealing his nose and mouth to prevent the peach blossom fragrance from entering his body. However, he saw that his clan members were too late. They were all suffering the same agony as Xuan Zhou, as the peach blossom fragrance entered their bodies, causing them to wail in pain.
"Damn it!" Xuan Xiao roared angrily. His fierce gaze was directed at the peach orchard. He wanted to set it ablaze. What kind of peach orchard is this? He initially thought it was a chance, but now it was harming his clan members.
Especially the clan members in front of him. They were the core members who had fought alongside him against the previous disaster. They were also the core force of the Tianxing Tribe. If they all perished, the strength of the entire Tianxing Tribe would decrease by one-third.
Xuan Xiao's eyes were filled with flames of anger. His mind sank into the Luck Orb, intending to burn his luck to find a solution.
After all, these clan members were carefully cultivated by him over many years. They were the core of his gathered and fortified luck. If they were all gone, not to mention the significant reduction in his luck, the Tianxing Tribe would also plummet.
"Luck Orb, burn for me..." Xuan Xiao's mind was agitated. He was about to burn his luck to find a way to save his clan members.
However, when his mind entered the Luck Orb, he discovered that the luck within the Luck Orb had already become turbulent. Under that turbulence, the sea of luck was constantly rising and increasing.
"What is going on? My clan is in danger, my luck should be decreasing, but why is it abnormally increasing!" Xuan Xiao cried out in his mind, feeling a sense of reversal. He couldn't understand the changes, nor could he comprehend the turbulence in his luck.
From Kuafu's staff transforming into a peach orchard to now, with his luck taking a reverse turn, everything was inexplicable. It left Xuan Xiao unable to grasp its true meaning.
Xuan Xiao couldn't figure it out, but he knew that the abnormal increase in his luck meant that his clan members were not facing a calamity but encountering a benefit.
.....
However, Xuan Xiao knew that his clan members were encountering a benefit. But Yun Xiao didn't.
Since marrying Xuan Xiao, Yun Xiao had devoted herself to helping him. Naturally, she didn't want to see the tribe under Xuan Xiao's command suffer. She comforted Xuan Xiao: "Husband, the peach blossom fragrance is poisonous. We must leave with our clan members quickly, lest they absorb too much peach blossom poison."
Xuan Xiao looked at Yun Xiao, not knowing what to say. He quickly thought in his mind, searching for a perfect explanation. After all, Xuan Xiao knew that his clan members were encountering a chance because of the changes in the Luck Orb. But he couldn't reveal the existence of the Luck Orb. Therefore, Xuan Xiao needed to come up with a perfect explanation.
However, before Xuan Xiao could think about it, a rough and thick voice, filled with sincerity, came from behind: "Little girl, don't ruin their chance!"
