Chapter 673: Peach Garden

Since Xiaoyu's goal is not the peaches but the spiritual spring, she naturally has to look for the source of water.

The best way to find water source is undoubtedly to find the spirit and pulse.

It was very simple, she immediately locked onto two underground springs.

One spring is on the left hand side, the other on the right hand side, more than four hundred miles apart.

Before entering the Ji River Water Palace, Xiao Yu's "Kun Style Soul Searching and Pulse Grasping" had a range of one hundred miles.

Now she can directly transform into a real dragon and can smell water sources within a thousand miles.

Having found the underground spring, she immediately restrained her breath and quietly approached one of the spiritual springs.

But not long after she moved, her eyes suddenly blurred. The monotonous dark underground soil landscape became colorful.

It was as if there were countless layers of transparent glass in front.

Xiao Yu stopped in doubt, "Is this a wrinkle in space and time?"

She sensed a stronger force of time and space.

"Master, it seems like there is a fairyland ahead." Xiaoqiang poked his head out and said.

At this moment, Xiaoyu has entered the territory of Yaochi.

The dragon energy underground is thin, and there are traces of the activities of the land god, so Xiaoqiang can also come out.

However, in order not to leave any trace of evil spirits, it still kept most of its body curled up in the dog treasure, allowing Xiaoyu to take it away.

"We have already been in the fairyland." Xiao Yu just said this, and suddenly an idea came to him. He calculated silently in his mind for a few times, and suddenly realized: "You are right, the fairyland is ahead!

We are still in the human world. No, we are also in the fairyland, but the time here is still normal.

If you enter the wrinkle of time and space ahead, you will immediately start to live "one year on earth and one day in heaven."

She realized that from the moment she entered the Lingqu Canal in the starry sky until now, the time dimension around her was normal.

I wonder if time will slow down after entering Kunlun Garden in the middle world.

Anyway, she burrowed into the ground of Kunlun Mountain, and the flow of time remained normal.

Now we have entered the surface of Yaochi, and one year on earth and one day in heaven have begun.

"Hmm, is there a garden of Ganoderma lucidum above our heads?" Xiao Yu said thoughtfully.

"How do you know there is Ganoderma lucidum on top of your head?" Xiao Qiang didn't quite understand.

Xiao Yu said: "Is there any need to ask this? The Queen Mother will definitely plant all the magical herbs and flowers, including the peaches, in the normal time dimension.

Even the most common small peaches ripen once every three thousand years.

If it is placed in a 'slow time flow' environment where one day is equivalent to one year on earth, how long will it take for it to mature?"

"Oh, that makes sense." Xiao Qiang suddenly realized and asked curiously, "Since there is a slow time flow, why not make a fast time flow? One day in the human world is three thousand years in Pantao Garden.

Hey, one result a day, isn't that wonderful? "

Xiao Yu sneered, "You've come all the way here with me, and you still think that the longevity substance in the peaches is the result of time?"

Xiao Qiang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "That's right, the essence of all waters and the energy of the Ancestral Dragon are limited."

Xiao Yu pondered and said, "Whether it is the essence of all waters or the energy of the Ancestral Dragon, they all come from the human world and are the 'fertilizer' provided by humanity.

Therefore, in Pantao Garden and Queen Mother's Garden, the best speed of time flow is the same as that in the human world.

If you eat too fast, you won’t get enough nutrition, but if you eat too slow, you’ll waste nutrition.”

"Master, you are very smart!" Xiao Qiang praised him, and then he was eager to try, "How about we go up there and take a look to see if it is the Queen Mother's garden?"

"What should we do if we encounter a fairy who cultivates flowers? We can't steal peaches or the Ganoderma Lucidum. They all have a fixed number, and whoever is missing can figure it out.

We don't emerge from the ground either.

Just get some spring water from underground and take it back to study it carefully. If it works wonders, I can come back next time."

Xiaoyu thought of the "little green bottle" in a novel about mortals cultivating immortals in his previous life.

Perhaps the spiritual spring of Queen Mother of the West has a similar effect?
She bypassed the folds of time and space and continued to escape quietly towards the underground spring.

Suddenly, she felt an itchy sensation on the top of her head, as if something was crawling over her head.

Xiaoyu was so scared that she almost screamed.

After all, she knew where she was and what she was doing. Instead of screaming, she immediately turned into a piece of stone wrapped in a faint dragon energy.

The next moment, a voice of surprise came from above, "Who, who is tickling my feet?"

The voice is clear and pleasant, like that of a twelve-year-old girl.

She called out a few times but got no response. She got a little angry and shouted, "Ginseng baby, come out! I know it's you. You're tickling my feet again, aren't you?"

Xiaoyu saw a beam of red light as fast as lightning, which came above her in a flash and turned into a fat baby of seven or eight years old, with braids on his head, a red bellyband around his chest, and a strange fragrance emanating from his body.

Xiaoyu almost couldn't help it and wanted to turn into a black dragon and bite it.

"Fairy Jiangzhu, what do you want me to do?" the little kid shouted.

"You are crawling under me again, so naughty!" the little girl said angrily.

The little kid scratched the back of his head in confusion, "I'm a ginseng spirit, of course I have to move around."

"Go somewhere else and don't disturb my practice." said the Fairy Crimson Pearl.

The ginseng baby murmured, "Did I disturb you again just now? But I ran over here because I heard you calling me."

Another gentle female voice joined in, saying, "Ginseng Baby, you really need to avoid the Crimson Pearl Fairy.

We are strong and are not afraid of you rushing around.

Jiangzhu is delicate and weak. If you tear her roots apart, it will damage her cultivation for hundreds of years!"

"Auntie Lan, I understand. I won't bump into things again." said the ginseng baby.

Afterwards, several more voices joined in, persuading the Ginseng Baby and also advising the Crimson Pearl Fairy not to bother with the Ginseng Baby.

Very lively.

Xiaoyu was so scared that she dared not move.

After the ginseng baby left and the sound from above stopped, she slowly sank again.

But just as she sank two or three feet, she heard a rustling sound above her head, and a root as transparent as glass silk in the sun reached out, "Hey, who are you? Was it you just now?"

Xiaoyu still wrapped herself with dragon energy, without making a sound. After hesitating for a moment, she continued to sink slowly.

“Ginseng baby, ginseng baby, come here quickly~~” the Crimson Pearl Fairy called out.

"What's the matter?"

"Swoosh~~" Just like before, the Ginseng Baby's earth burrow was too fast. With a flash of red light, he appeared next to the roots of the Crimson Pearl Fairy again.

"Look down there, what's moving there?" asked Fairy Crimson Pearl.

When the ginseng baby lowered his head, he saw a mass of yellowish "earth energy" slowly sinking.

“It seems to be the earth’s energy.”

"I think it's alive, go catch it." said Fairy Jiangzhu.

The ginseng baby came to Xiaoyu with a "whoosh".

But as soon as he stretched out his little hand, Xiaoyu deliberately transformed into a dragon and blew a breath of pure dragon energy at him.

"Puchi~~" The ginseng baby was sprayed directly.

"Ahhh~~~" He felt as if concentrated sulfuric acid was poured over his head. His fair, tender and round skin withered and turned yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a while, it turned into a shriveled but unusually thick ginseng.

It is several times larger than the white radishes grown with chemical fertilizers in the previous life. When weighed on the scale, it weighs at least 40 kilograms!
40-pound ginseng
I'm drooling just thinking about it, let alone the fact that it's right in front of Xiaoyu.

She resisted the urge to take a bite.

"Ah, Ginseng Baby, what's wrong with you?" The Crimson Pearl Fairy started crying in fear.

In fact, Xiaoyu was also a little scared.

She just wanted to disguise herself as a wisp of dragon energy, but she had no idea that the dragon energy that had not been harmonized with the yin and yang of the essence of all waters would have such a huge lethality to the Ganoderma lucidum.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Fairy Jiangzhu, why are you crying again?"

Dozens of roots of different colors and scents reached out.

There were even root-shaped monsters coming over.

"Ah, why is the ginseng baby withering?"

The Crimson Pearl Fairy pointed at the still sinking dragon energy with her slender root tip and cried, "It was it. It blew a breath at the ginseng baby."

"Isn't that dragon energy?"

"It's dragon energy. Kunlun is the ancestor of all mountains and the source of dragon veins. There is a lot of dragon energy underground."

"Didn't the Osmanthus Fairy who watered the plants for us warn us not to go down there?

The dragon energy below is fierce, and we are so delicate that we cannot bear it."

"Ginseng kid is so playful that he doesn't learn his lesson."

"Wow, don't blame the ginseng baby, blame me. I asked him to catch that dragon energy. I saw it moving and felt like it was a living thing." The Crimson Pearl Fairy cried.

"Dragon energy can drift in the earth veins. Crimson Pearl Fairy, your roots are a little too deep, but don't blame yourself. Ask Fairy Guixiang to water the ginseng baby with some spiritual water, and it will be back to normal in a few months."

Fairy Jiangzhu choked up and said, "This year is the Queen Mother's birthday. Fairy Guixiang is entertaining guests in Langfeng Garden and will not be back for several months."

"Then call the Fairy Biquan. She is the spirit of the spring and has been sleeping at the bottom of the spring. Ask her for a small favor."

——Oh no, the spiritual spring actually has spirituality and gave birth to monsters!
Xiaoyu secretly groaned in her heart.

——Yao Chi is too evil, it seems that everything can become a spirit or has already become a spirit.

This is not the Queen Mother's Garden at all, it's clearly a monster paradise!
She kept cursing in her heart and sank another half a mile before she began to speed up her earth escape.

"Master, what should we do now? We can't go to the spiritual spring." Xiao Qiang said regretfully: "You should have taken the ginseng doll away just now. It's so big. Eating it will probably increase your power by thousands or tens of thousands of years."

Xiao Yu quickly burrowed into the ground while saying, "There are two spiritual pools in Yaochi. One is called 'Yaochi' and the other is 'Cuishui'. Maybe the other pool hasn't been created yet—"

Before she could finish her words, she suddenly "saw" a large dark shadow in front of her, like a forest.

It's not earth or stone, but the essence of Yi wood emanating from it.

"Oh, that was close. How come there are roots here too, and they are so deep!"

Xiaoyu shrugged her nonexistent nose and said in surprise, "Xiaoqiang, come out and smell it."

Xiaoqiang just stuck out the dog's nose.

"It's a peach tree, it must be a peach tree!" It said excitedly, "Master, we ran from the Queen Mother's Garden to the Peach Garden."

"It is indeed a peach tree. It smells familiar to me."

Xiao Yu was surprised and asked, "Did you notice that the peach tree is very dull? It is far less spiritual than the Lingzhi fairy grass before."

Xiao Qiang asked in confusion: "How did the master know that? I didn't feel anything."

Xiaoyu transformed into a ball of dragon energy again, and drifted in the same way as before in the Queen Mother's Garden, slowly coming to the roots of the tree.

"Wow~~"

The thick and dense tree roots actually came alive, and like octopus tentacles, they wrapped around Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu was startled.

——I guessed wrong, it is also alive, but its breath is terrible, it is actually absorbing my dragon energy!
Xiaoyu was still thinking about whether to struggle and escape or pretend to be a stone as she was entangled by the tree roots.

Those tree roots were like greedy leeches, and began to frantically plunder the dragon energy on her body that concealed her tracks.

The ginseng baby was sprayed with dragon energy and immediately wilted.

The peach tree actually actively absorbed her dragon energy!

No wonder it dares to take root so deeply!

It can directly absorb the energy of the Ancestral Dragon, which is too cruel. Is this a peach tree or a monster?

Xiao Yu's shock only lasted for a moment, because she immediately thought of the fake peaches planted on the Turtle Back Mountain during the Fengfeng Festival.

The fake peach tree was not frozen to death by the spirit of ten thousand waters, and it seemed natural that the real peach tree absorbed the dragon energy.
"Master, run away, the peach tree is alive and very ferocious. It is going to suck you dry!" Xiaoqiang shouted in fear.

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "Let it suck!"

She took the initiative to send out the "Yuanshi Dragon Evil" which contained the authority of the Human King in her body.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~~~~”

The roots of the peach trees shrank back as if they were snake tails being scalded by boiling water.

"Hey, I thought you were so awesome!"

Xiaoyu sneered, pounced over and bit the tree root.

The juice splashes everywhere, and the taste is not sweet, but bitter and astringent, but it has plenty of Yi wood fairy energy!

"Master, what are you doing? It's alive!" Xiaoqiang said in surprise.

"It's just a piece of wood with a strong and greedy instinct. Don't be afraid. Take a few puffs of it. Ouch, it tastes so strong. I want to vomit. Ugh~~~"

After swallowing the juice down his throat with difficulty, Xiaoyu couldn't control his nausea and vomited it out.

"Cut some peach tree roots and soak them in water to drink. Chewing them raw is too astringent and difficult to digest!"

Xiao Qiang said hurriedly: "Master, don't be impulsive! Although the peach tree is not a spirit, it is very spiritual, and even its roots can quickly expand and contract.

If you cut off the roots of a peach tree, it will surely shake in pain, making quite a noise and eventually alarming the land god above.

If he was caught stealing the peaches, even if he was sentenced to immediate execution by the Queen Mother, it would be a worthy death.

If I was sent to the Immortal Execution Platform by the Jade Emperor just for a few peach tree roots to drink, it would not be worth it!"

Xiao Yu's face changed several times, and he said in a hoarse voice: "You are right. Stealing peach tree roots is too pathetic. Let's go up and take a look."
