Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 234 A Peach Blossom

Spring goes and autumn comes, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

In March, the spring breeze brings warmth, and all things revive.

On Muyu Island, with the burgeoning of life, the withered peach blossoms began to flourish again. In that instant, the true essence of life and death within the peach blossoms changed, and its aura began to surge wildly, causing the spiritual energy of the entire Muyu Island to fluctuate.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen's face showed a strange expression.

"Is she going to complete a breakthrough while awakening? Tao Yao's momentum is truly impressive."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen waved his sleeves and activated the formation, severing the connection between the outside world and Muyu Island. During the period when Taoyao was silent, he controlled the protective formation of Muyu Island.

With a whoosh, the Azure Forest of Canglang manifested, and under the suppression of the formation, the originally rampant spiritual energy began to calm down.

Not long after, a powerful aura rose from Qingxin Xiaozhu.

At this moment, the branches and leaves stretched out, and Tao Yao's body radiated spiritual light, blooming ten beautiful peach blossoms one after another. However, with the cycle of life and death, and a gentle breeze blowing, nine peach blossoms withered one after another, leaving only one peach blossom blooming on the branch, its beauty mixed with resilience.

Upon noticing this sudden change, Hongyu, who had been cultivating in her room, quickly came out.

It was at this moment that Tao Yao's consciousness revived. She shook the branch and presented the last peach blossom, which she had survived countless near-death experiences, to Hong Yu.

Whoosh, the peach blossoms fell, and before Hongyu could react, they immediately merged into her body, causing subtle changes in her physique. The most obvious change was that her original three-inch spiritual aperture evolved into a four-inch one, and her aptitude improved from low-grade to mid-grade.

"Improving aptitude, I never imagined that Taoyao's peach blossoms would have such a use. However, it seems that it is not just that. With the fusion of peach blossoms, there is a subtle connection between Hongyu and Taoyao."

As the figure appeared, Jiang Chen took in all the changes.

At this moment, feeling the changes within herself, Hongyu felt somewhat apprehensive.

"Young Master..."

Turning her gaze to Jiang Chen, Hongyu seemed about to say something.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen waved his hand.

"That peach blossom can only improve low-grade aptitude, but it is of no use to me. Since Tao Yao has been given to you, you should accept it without hesitation. Over the years, you have put in a lot of effort to prune its branches and water it with spiritual spring."

With his consciousness connected to Tao Yao, Jiang Chen gained a clear understanding of the essence of the peach blossom.

This flower contains a tenacious vitality and the spirit of growing in adversity. It has the profound ability to help people break through the shackles of their aptitude and advance further. However, the power it contains is ultimately limited, and it is only useful to cultivators with one, two, or three-inch spiritual apertures.

Hearing this and sensing Jiang Chen's attitude, Hongyu felt much more at ease.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty!"

After a slight hesitation, Hongyu bowed to Taoyao. She was aware of Taoyao's strength, which was why she was so respectful.

Tao Yao seemed completely oblivious to this and showed no reaction whatsoever.

"While the peach blossoms are changing your aptitude, they are also further tempering your body. You should hurry up and start cultivating. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to advance to the Qi Refining stage in no time."

Seeing that Hongyu was still somewhat uneasy, Jiang Chen spoke again.

Hearing this, Hongyu's unease was immediately suppressed, leaving only joy. She had been somewhat confused before and had not been able to carefully sense the changes in herself. Now, with Jiang Chen's guidance, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have really touched the threshold of Qi Refining.

"Yes, son."

Unable to suppress her joy, Hongyu knew that Jiang Chen and Tao Yao still had matters to attend to, so she withdrew.

After Hongyu left, Jiang Chen placed his palm on Taoyao's torso. In an instant, the true energy of the human and the demon intertwined. "Great Perfection of Qi Refining, High-Grade True Energy..."

Upon careful observation, Jiang Chen confirmed Tao Yao's changes.

Although he had anticipated this, he was still somewhat amazed. In terms of cultivation talent, Tao Yao was the best among the humans and demons he had ever seen. She had become a demon in just a few years, and after experiencing two cycles of growth and decay, she had risen to the top and achieved the highest level of Qi cultivation. Her speed was truly astounding.

From this perspective, even the former Mist Dragon is inferior to it.

"But I don't know what your background is?"

Looking at the peach blossoms before him, Jiang Chen's thoughts drifted away.

At the same time, as her true energy deeply merged with Jiang Chen's, Tao Yao swayed her branches and leaves, exuding an almost instinctive joy.

Sensing this intimacy, Jiang Chen pulled himself out of his thoughts.

"His strength has improved a lot, but his spirituality has not improved much."

Stroking the trunk of the peach tree, Jiang Chen smiled.

It was at this moment that Jiang Chen noticed something and turned his gaze to the ground.

"Today seems to be a good day."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen entered the Spirit Cave once more.

At this very moment, within the spirit pool, the water churned and the aura of war surged, as if something were breaking out from within.

With a cry, the cranes cried out. The moment Jiang Chen stepped into the Spirit Cave, the spiritual energy surged, and a phantom crane flew out from the Spirit Pool, circling within the Spirit Cave and leaving behind wisps of pure spiritual energy.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen gently reached out and beckoned.

The next instant, the crane phantom vanished, returning to its true form, which landed in Jiang Chen's hand—a feathered robe.

"The Thousand Crane Feather Robe, once a low-grade magic artifact, is now a top-grade magic artifact."

As he sensed the essence of the feather robe, Jiang Chen's smile deepened.

During this period, he devoted himself to studying the art of weapon crafting and made remarkable progress. Crafting ordinary magical artifacts was no longer a problem for him. In order to achieve further breakthroughs and verify what he had learned, he took out the second-tier spiritual feather offered by the Qingfeng Crane Clan and tried to integrate it into the Thousand Crane Feather Robe to reforge it.

Today, this exquisite magical artifact has been properly nurtured.

"Although I benefited from the high quality of the spirit feather, the fact that I was able to refine this top-grade magic weapon is enough to prove that my weapon refining skills are no less than those of Zhuang Tianxing in the past, and I am considered to be among the best of the first-level weapon refiners."

Upon careful comparison, Jiang Chen knew that his efforts during this period had not been in vain.

"Let me see what mysteries this top-grade magic artifact holds."

With a surge of true energy, Jiang Chen easily completed the initial refinement of the reforged magic weapon. In a flash, he draped it over his body.

In the next instant, his figure blurred, leaving behind a series of afterimages in the air, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion—this was the Shadow Step.

"Not bad, not bad."

Intrigued by the mysterious beauty of the Thousand Crane Feather Robe, Jiang Chen instantly left the Spirit Cave.

With a crane's cry, a blurry crane shadow appeared around him, carrying him away in an instant at an extreme speed—this was the Wind Chaser.
