The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 22 Peach
"No, the Second Master just woke up, and they need help right now. I'd better go back early," said Taiwei Kang, with a serious tone, "Sister, please be careful recently."

"Then... I won't keep Brother Kang."

"You two brothers and sisters... I'm leaving."

Commander Kang smiled, then flew away in a flash.

heaven.

Looking at the direction where General Kang went away.

Yang Chan stood there for a while, and suddenly waved her hand. The Precious Lotus Lantern turned into a rain of light that fell into the small pond. Green leaves grew and lotus flowers bloomed. In just a moment, the pond was full of life again.

The clouds descended and went straight into the temple.

In the pond, Ding Lin turned his head and took a bite of a lotus leaf. Although he had not practiced in the past few days, he had been accompanying Yang Chan day and night, so he was a little tired and hungry.

There should be results.

never mind.

Ding Lin thought to himself that with the perspective of the future, he certainly knew that there would be no danger.

just.

I know, but I can't say it.

Soon, Yang Chan, dressed in plain clothes, came to the pool.

"never mind."

She said to Ding Lin.

"That's good."

Ding Lin said.

The simplest and easiest questions and answers.

Then, silence fell again.

Yang Chan seemed a little hesitant.

Ding Lin quietly waited for her to say that she was leaving.

"I have lost my composure these past few days. It's really me... I have been with the Empress for a long time. When I see her sad, I can't help but feel sad too..."

Yang Chan seemed to really not remember the words she muttered last night. She pursed her lips and said this, but stopped talking halfway.

There was silence for a while.

"Thank you."

Yang Chan said.

"it's nothing."

Ding Lin wagged his tail gently, not exposing this clumsy cover-up.

There was another silence.

"I'll come see you again in a few days."

Yang Chan said.

Yeah.

A few days later...

I am still the carp in this pond.

She should also be able to recover and become the maid of the Three Holy Mothers again.

As for leaving, since I never said it from the beginning to the end, let's just pretend it never happened.

Ding Lin looked at the water surface.

No waves or waves.

Yang Chan turned and left.

……

Time passes slowly.

But never look back.

Seven days later.

Before dawn.

In the darkness, Ding Lin exhaled his last breath, opened his eyes, and saw Yang Chan already by the pool.

"You came."

Ding Lin said, he looked at the woman by the pool, she had returned to her former appearance.

His expression was calm and his tone was gentle.

"Come and see you."

Yang Chan nodded. "Thank you."

Ding Lin said.

Only seven days had passed, and everything seemed so unfamiliar all of a sudden.

"You seem to like practicing very much. Every time I see you at night, you are practicing."

Yang Chan thought about it and changed the topic.

"Who would like to practice? It's monotonous and boring. I just hope to become stronger."

Ding Lin said.

"You like power?"

Yang Chan said.

Ding Lin nodded, then shook his head.

"I just want to live a better life, but how can I live a good life without power in a world like this?"

"You're quite straightforward."

Yang Chan nodded.

"Here, here you go."

Yang Chan turned her hand over, and a bright red peach appeared in her palm.

"Just ripe peaches, just picked."

"This is?"

Ding Lin looked at the peach and felt that it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where it was. Or maybe it was not that he couldn't remember where it was, but that the thing in his memory was so precious that he didn't dare to associate the peach with it. His heart suddenly started beating rapidly, and he looked at the peach with a straight look.

"Don't overthink it."

Yang Chan was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that the last time Erlang Shen brought peaches, this little carp was right next to him, and he had seen it before.

"This is not a peach. My queen planted the pits of the two peaches. One plant survived. This is the fruit of that seed plant. It took ten years to grow, ten years to bloom, and ten years to bear fruit. Now, thirty-three years later, the fruits are finally ripe."

It's not the peaches.

Ding Lin was a little disappointed, but more than that he was relieved.

"This fruit was planted by the queen to pass the time. She doesn't care much about it. I can only eat it for the taste, but it should be very good for you."

"Thank you."

Ding Lin used his double fins as a hand and solemnly took the peach. He had practiced for more than 200 years now, so adjusting his body and making some anthropomorphic movements like this was difficult, but he could still do it.

"Eat quickly."

Yang Chan said, placing the peach on Ding Lin's fin.

Ding Lin started eating. At first he paid attention to the smell, but as soon as the first bite of the peach entered his stomach, he immediately felt full. He raised his head and glanced at Yang Chan, who did not show any expression. He then took another big bite, feeling hot all over.

Ding Lin looked at Yang Chan again, and still saw no move to stop her, so he made up his mind and took two bites at a time, using his sharp teeth to chew until juice flowed out.

The moment I finished eating the peach, a stream of spiritual energy rushed straight to the top of my head.

Ding Lin no longer cared about anything else. He closed his eyes, merged his consciousness into his body, and began to rise continuously.

Then, at a certain moment, the view becomes clear, this is an unprecedented height, a bird's-eye view.

What comes into view are mottled and complex streams with strands of fiery red flowing in between. It should have been smooth and gentle, but there is a golden spiritual rain falling from the sky. The spiritual rain falls into the stream and immediately becomes like magma entering water, boiling the stream and starting to stir, with countless water drops splashing onto the shore.

Immediately, there were waves of intense, piercing pain.

Ding Lin understood in his heart that this should be the manifestation of his complete body.

Those streams should be his meridians, the fiery red water is his demonic spirit, and as for the spiritual rain falling from the sky, it must be the medicinal power of peach without a doubt.

Ding Lin realized Yang Chan's intention of asking him to eat the whole peach, which was to let the spiritual energy raise his consciousness first.

If the consciousness had not risen to such a high level.

Then, the endless waves of pain would surely make Ding Lin think that he was going to explode, but at this moment, from this perspective, he could clearly see that compared with the benefits brought by the influx of golden spiritual rain, the drops of demonic energy that splashed were harmless and did not cause any harm.

Painful, but happy.

Finally, the golden spiritual rain stopped.

Consciousness fell back from the high point.

When Ding Lin opened his eyes again, it was already noon.

There was still some unfulfilled feeling in his eyes.

Ding Lin closed his eyes again and felt the results. He was surprised to find that his cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds and that he had already reached the 303rd year.

"There are five dragons: carp, snake, python, dragon, and dragon. Although carp is included, the dragon blood in your body is already extremely thin, and your body is even weaker. I thought that you have been eating lotus leaves for so long, and you have taken thirty-seven body-cleansing pills to expel all the impurities in your body. This peach should be able to increase your cultivation by more than a hundred years."

By the pool, Yang Chan frowned.

"I had originally underestimated it, but I didn't expect that the carp's body would be so weak. The increase in cultivation was only a few decades. Fortunately, your cultivation has finally broken through 300 years."
