Junior sister, I really need to control you

Given the unique circumstances of Xuanzhen Temple, the lineage might agree to the suggestion from a true master.

He had not forgotten his two aspirations for cultivation: the Shaoyang Daoist examination and becoming the abbot.

The Shaoyang Daoist Examination, Grade A, rewards a total cultivation level of 181 years.

The reward for becoming the deputy abbot is thirty years.

The reward for becoming the abbot is fifty years.

In other words, if his junior sister wins the first-class award, he will gain a total of 211 years of cultivation, or at most 260 years.

There are also the cultivation points from the Two Elements Dividing Light Sword that haven't been claimed yet, totaling one hundred and twenty years.

In addition, he now has two hundred years of cultivation...

Five or six hundred years of cultivation.

Can a real person live for 500 years? Probably not, right?

Li Yinsheng racked his brains, but he couldn't recall ever hearing of a real person over three hundred years old.

Gathering his chaotic thoughts, Li Yinsheng reminded himself not to be too happy too soon.

Aside from his ambition to become the deputy abbot and abbot, which he was relatively confident about as a true person of Xuanzhen Temple, he also had other aspirations.

As things stand, it's uncertain whether we'll be able to collect all the rewards from the other two cultivation aspirations.

Moreover, this cave is only for cultivating martial arts techniques, not for practicing magic.

In terms of various methods other than cultivation level, not to mention cultivators of the same level, even those two or three levels below him could probably leave him far behind.

Li Yinsheng shook his head.

Alas, I still haven't cultivated myself enough.

"Junior sister, our fortune here has run its course. Let's go."

Li Yinsheng got up from the big rock.

"Okay!" Mu Xiaoyu also stood up.

However, she did not leave immediately, but ran to the ancient peach altar and bowed deeply.

"Big peach tree, thank you for the ancient magic you gave me! We're leaving now, goodbye!"

Mu Xiaoyu waved to the ancient peach spirit.

Just as she was about to turn around, the ancient peach spirit, which had already lost its spiritual light, suddenly trembled and shone brightly once more.

Mu Xiaoyu was standing close to the tree, and the light made it hard for her to open her eyes.

But Li Yinsheng saw it clearly: in the bright light, the ancient tree, which was originally lush and full of peach blossoms, was rapidly decaying.

In the blink of an eye, the peach leaves withered and fell one after another, and the peach blossoms withered and died even before the leaves.

On the contrary, on the branch closest to Mu Xiaoyu, there was a single peach blossom that quickly turned into a small peach.

The peach then grew rapidly. In just over ten breaths, when all the flowers and leaves had fallen, the peach had grown to the size of a watermelon, requiring both hands to hold it.

Moreover, in those dozen or so breaths, the branch that carried the peaches slowly stretched towards the junior sister.

When the radiance faded, the peach tree, now devoid of any blossoms or leaves, had only a branch laden with peaches extending towards Mu Xiaoyu, stopping just out of her reach.

Mu Xiaoyu, who hadn't seen what had happened in between, was startled when she saw the fallen leaves and withered branches bearing peaches.

Although Li Yinsheng wasn't frightened, he was no less calm than she was.

Since he arrived here, he has never sensed any spirituality in the ancient peach tree itself, only its spiritual light as a sacrificial offering.

This is not surprising, as it is extremely rare for anything other than humans to be able to give birth to a spiritual being.

For example, magical treasures like my uncle's White Rainbow Sword can be considered to have a spirit, but they are far from being considered to have intelligence.

As for the ancient peach tree in front of him, although he had never sensed any spirit in it, the scene just now, which seemed to offer peaches on its own initiative, was hard to explain if it didn't have any spirit.

and……

His consciousness landed on the peach.

Its aura was clear and pure, without any trace of turbidity or impurity, far surpassing ordinary medicinal herbs and fruits, and could almost be regarded as a rare and precious treasure.

After consuming it, it can be easily refined into one's own magical power, and it will not cause the foundation to become unstable in the slightest. It may even strengthen the foundation.

This is also the biggest difference between rare and precious medicinal materials and ordinary elixirs.

The problem is that the amount of vital energy contained within it is not very large.

Li Yinsheng estimated that this peach might only increase his magical power for a few years.

If a tree with a spirit only bears fruit at the cost of losing all its flowers and leaves and withering away to the point of near death, then its spirit is worthless.

It should be understood that only beings of the level of real-life magical artifacts have only begun to possess sentience.

In his view, this peach tree was probably more like a sacrificial altar, containing another inheritance besides the ancient techniques.

If a visitor meets certain conditions, a certain restriction is triggered, causing the peach tree to exhaust all its resources to produce a single peach, which is then given to the recipient of the inheritance.

"Senior brother..."

Mu Xiaoyu called out "Senior Brother" but her eyes were fixed on the peach, her mouth almost filled with saliva.

These peaches smell so good! They smell even better than the crab eggs from last time!

"This is a gift from that peach tree, please accept it," Li Yinsheng said.

Hearing her senior brother say this, Mu Xiaoyu no longer hesitated and decisively reached out her hands to pick the peach off the withered branch.

The moment she held the peach in her hands, Li Yinsheng felt that the last bit of life in the peach tree had completely vanished.

"Senior brother! Come and have a taste! These peaches are so fragrant!"

Mu Xiaoyu ran over carrying a peach that was bigger than her head, and it did indeed smell delicious.

“This peach can increase cultivation without causing your foundation to become unstable,” Li Yinsheng said. “However, it doesn’t increase cultivation much, so it’s not very meaningful to me, but it will be very useful to you.”

"So, Senior Brother, you're not going to eat?" Mu Xiaoyu understood what he meant.

“Yes,” Li Yinsheng nodded, “If you eat it, you will definitely reach the third level of the Qingxuan True Scripture.”

Junior Sister still has the primordial energy from the crane egg in her body. With this peach, reaching the third level of the Pure Profound Scripture will be no problem at all.

However, according to his estimation, to achieve perfection in the third level, he would have to wait for his junior sister to completely refine the dormant Crane Egg Yuan Qi within her body.

Moreover, the mana required to reach the fourth level is not low.

It's highly unlikely that she'll reach the fourth level directly.

However, the effects of peaches and crane eggs both require time to refine, so it won't be long before she reaches the fourth level.

After being urged repeatedly by Li Yinsheng, Mu Xiaoyu lowered her head and began to eat the peach with great gusto, her face showing a satisfied expression that said, "Life is like this, what more could one ask for?"

However, after eating about a third of the peach, she handed it to Li Yinsheng again, insisting that her senior brother must taste it.

In her words, the extra bit of cultivation might be useless to her senior brother, but this was truly the most delicious peach in the world, and she would regret it for the rest of her life if she didn't try it.

Unable to dissuade her, Li Yinsheng had no choice but to cut off a small piece with his Hanming sword and taste it himself.

Well, whether it's the best peach in the world is debatable, but it's certainly the best he's ever eaten.

When the junior sister had eaten half of the peach, she had already reached the third level of the Qingxuan True Scripture.

This is also because the aura contained in the peach is extremely pure and gentle. She only needs to circulate her cultivation technique slightly to refine it, and she can directly transform it into cultivation and break through to the third level.

If Li Yinsheng hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't even have realized that she had made a breakthrough.

After finishing the peach, she took out a handkerchief and carefully wrapped the fist-sized peach pit in it.

After glancing at the withered peach tree, Mu Xiaoyu looked longingly at her senior brother.

"Senior brother, this peach tree has died, and the peach pit is what it left behind. Why don't we... plant the peach pit after we return to the temple?"

Li Yinsheng nodded: "That's good, this peach tree looks quite extraordinary."

"Moreover, there is a spirit-refining array in the temple, and the spiritual energy is quite beneficial to the growth of spiritual plants. Since I can't use up all the spiritual energy, I'll share some with this peach pit."

Mu Xiaoyu cheered and carefully put the peach pit into her Qiankun bag.

If we grow big peach trees in the future, won't we be able to eat such delicious peaches every day?

Li Yinsheng could guess what she was thinking, but he didn't discourage her—this kind of spiritual plant couldn't be grown in three or five years.

"what?"

After putting the peach pit into her Qiankun bag, Mu Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow and took out the black stone that had previously suppressed the poisonous miasma and could not be detected by divine sense.

"Senior brother," Mu Xiaoyu said uncertainly, "my divine sense... seems to be able to sense this stone?"

Li Yinsheng was taken aback.

At this moment, the black stone was still not in his perception, but his junior sister's expression did not seem like a joke.

Could it be... that the peaches were responsible?

Chapter 49 Two months later, guests arrive at Huangzhu Temple

Ancient peaches were offered before the spirit.

Li Yinsheng had just finished examining Mu Xiaoyu's body.

After repeated confirmation, he discovered that although the peach did not increase his junior sister's cultivation and magical power by a large amount, it not only helped her stabilize her foundation, but also improved the quality of the Pure Profound Scripture's magical power within her body by a level.

Furthermore, cultivating the Qingxuan True Scripture to the third level inherently has the effect of expanding the meridians and dantian, making one's magical power even more profound.

At this moment, my junior sister's magical power, in both quality and quantity, has surpassed that of many other cultivators of the same level.

As for what my junior sister said, that she could sense the black stone with her divine sense, it was probably an unexpected surprise brought by Peach.

In this way, his previous idea of ​​using the black stone as material to forge a magical artifact specifically for sneak attacks could be realized.

However, this matter is not urgent for now, because even if a magical artifact is crafted, my junior sister probably won't be able to use it right now.

Such a rare item should definitely be refined into a high-grade magic weapon; it would be a waste to only make a mid-grade or low-grade one.

However, my junior sister's Qingxuan True Scripture is only at the third level now, and if you really count it, her cultivation level is probably less than ten years.

With this level of cultivation, let alone a high-grade magic weapon, he wouldn't even be able to control a mid-grade magic weapon.
