Junior sister, I really need to control you.

Over the East China Sea.

The Hidden Star Palace stopped in front of a black reef island. Three streaks of light flew out and transformed into the figures of Tantai Jing, Li Yinsheng, and Mu Xiaoyu in front of the ancient peach spirit, which was hundreds of feet tall.

It was already dark when the ancient peach spirit emitted a faint glow in the night, with occasional specks of light drifting down.

"As expected, it is a relic left by an ancient cultivator, and judging from the state of this sacrificial spirit, the inheritance within it has not been taken away."

Tantai Jing seemed somewhat surprised: "Although this place is a bit remote, the way this spirit is being worshipped is quite eye-catching, and it seems that it has never been discovered before."

"That's because these relics have only just appeared," Li Yinsheng thought to himself.

He looked at the stone altar and stone tablet in front of the ancient peach tree.

The altar was very similar to the two he had seen before, both being simple and unadorned.

He took out a jade slip and carefully recorded the ancient inscriptions on the stone tablet.

"Is Young Master Li interested in what is recorded on this stone tablet?" Tantai Jing asked.

Li Yinsheng nodded, his expression unchanged, and said, "After all, these records were deliberately left behind by the owner of this site, so I am naturally quite curious."

"Usually, the inheritance of ancient cultivation methods is carried out through spirit worship. This stone tablet mostly just records the life of its owner, or gives instructions to future generations, or some ancient events. It doesn't involve important inheritances." Tantai Jing said this, but still asked with some curiosity, "Young Master Li, what is written on this stone tablet?"

Li Yinsheng was somewhat embarrassed: "I don't understand it either, so I wrote it down so that I can find a knowledgeable fellow Daoist to interpret it in the future."

"Huh?" Tantai Jing was taken aback.

She really didn't expect that Li Yinsheng didn't understand ancient cultivation scripts. After all, in her understanding, Li Yinsheng must have cultivated an extremely powerful ancient cultivation method.

Although she didn't know exactly what kind of method it was, it was not surprising that someone who could cultivate it to such a level would be proficient in ancient cultivation scripts.

Given that Li Yinsheng seemed very interested, she naturally assumed that he was knowledgeable.

She even thought that after Li Yinsheng finished translating, she could take the opportunity to chat with him, but she didn't expect this kind of answer.

However, she quickly realized what was happening and offered words of comfort.

"It's alright, Young Master Li. I have several fellow Daoists on Polaris Island who practice ancient methods, and even a senior. Once we arrive on the island, Tantai will act as a go-between and ask them to interpret it for you."

"If you are interested, young master, you can even consult with those fellow Daoists. I believe they would be more than happy to do so."

Li Yinsheng nodded his thanks, a slight stirring in his heart.

He was indeed somewhat uneasy about letting outsiders interpret the contents of this stone tablet. He didn't know what was written on this third stone tablet, and it would be troublesome if it contained something that shouldn't be known to others.

However, what Fairy Tantai said—that learning the ancient cultivators' writing from the few ancient cultivators on Polaris Island—is a good choice.

Besides, he might encounter a fifth or sixth stone tablet in the future, and he can't ask someone to interpret it every time, can he?

After recording the contents of the stone tablet, Li Yinsheng turned to look at the sacrificial altar peach.

"Go ahead, junior sister, put whatever you want on it." Li Yinsheng patted Mu Xiaoyu's head and pointed to the stone altar.

Mu Xiaoyu was a little worried: "Senior brother, is this a good idea? This sacrificial peach tree is so big, what if there's a very precious inheritance inside?"

"What if I put out the wrong offerings? Won't the tradition be lost?" she asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, junior sister, I believe in you," Li Yinsheng said, rubbing her head to encourage her. "Besides, you have a connection with the sacrificial spirits."

Li Yinsheng thought to himself, if even you, junior sister, can't activate this sacrificial spirit, then probably no one in the world can do it.

Tantai Jing, standing to the side, looked even more peculiar.

Throughout the journey, she felt that Young Master Li's doting on his junior sister was somewhat abnormal.

Although it's perfectly normal for Mu Xiaoyu to be favored by her senior brothers and elders given her natural talent and innocent, carefree nature, Young Master Li's kindness towards her has far exceeded the bounds of a senior brother's affection for a junior sister. Even a master would find it difficult to be so attentive to his disciple.

To put it more dramatically, Tantai Jing felt that her father had never been this kind to her.

At least her father would never have prepared enough materials to refine quasi-spiritual treasures for her to practice when she was still a Great Immortal.

He certainly wouldn't expect her to directly cultivate a great supernatural power like Samadhi Fire—

On the way here, when Li Yinsheng mentioned that he wanted the fire in the sky not only for himself, but also to add the foundation of Samadhi Fire to help his junior sister condense her Dharma form, Tantai Jing thought that her inner demons were speaking.

The resources required for a Great Immortal to cultivate the Samadhi Fire are enough to bankrupt an immortal of the seventh realm or above.

With this precedent set, it wasn't strange that Li Yinsheng asked Mu Xiaoyu to bring out a sacrificial spirit that carried the inheritance of ancient cultivation to "play" with.

In any case, most of the ancient cultivators' lineages are not actually very strong.

Mu Xiaoyu walked to the stone altar, pondered for a while, and tentatively took out a scallop that was as big as a washbasin.

"Should we put this here?" Li Yinsheng asked.

Mu Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment before nodding, "I want to try..."

She placed the scallop on it, and the ancient peach spirit trembled slightly, but there was no reaction; its light even dimmed a bit. Li Yinsheng looked at Mu Xiaoyu with some confusion.

Remembering her hesitant tone just now, he asked, "Junior Sister, is there something else you'd like to put away?"

Mu Xiaoyu put away the scallops and nodded hesitantly.

"Junior sister, don't hesitate, put down what you want to put down the most," Li Yinsheng encouraged.

After hesitating for a moment, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly took out a thick storybook, but she covered the name on the cover tightly with her hand.

Then, keeping the name covered with her hand, she placed the storybook on the altar.

Li Yinsheng couldn't help but wonder what was written on it that needed to be covered up.

But before he could ask any further questions, the ancient peach spirit suddenly shone brightly.

Immediately, the ancient peach tree, hundreds of feet tall and covered with countless leaves and flowers, trembled violently, and almost all the peach leaves and blossoms were shaken off the branches and swirled up in the air.

On each peach leaf, a pale silver ancient cultivation character appeared, while on the peach petals, different golden meridian diagrams appeared.

Mu Xiaoyu quickly put away the storybook, covering her name the entire time.

"Wow, senior brother, look! It's so beautiful!" Mu Xiaoyu exclaimed, looking up. (Go to Bing search for the latest chapter!)

She was right. Countless verdant peach leaves and pale pink petals shone with silver and gold light, fluttering in the night sky. At first glance, they even had the magnificent beauty of when Tantai Jing used the Star River technique.

Even Tantai Jing was somewhat mesmerized by what she saw.

Suddenly, countless silver and gold lights converged in an instant, transforming into two dazzling beams of light.

The golden and silver light was like the sun and the full moon rising at the same time, instantly illuminating the surrounding tens of thousands of miles as if it were daytime.

The scale of this event far exceeded Li Yinsheng's expectations.

But a moment later, the golden and silver light immediately receded, then vanished in a flash, disappearing into Mu Xiaoyu's forehead.

Mu Xiaoyu blinked and reached out to touch her head.

"Ugh... so much information, my head is throbbing..."

She swayed a few times, and finally collapsed.

Li Yinsheng flashed to her side and caught her in his arms as she collapsed.

After a thorough examination, Li Yinsheng breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness, I just received too much information at once, which is why I fainted..."

Holding Mu Xiaoyu in his arms, Li Yinsheng looked up at Gu Taojiling.

At this moment, the peach leaves and peach blossoms that carried the silver characters and gold diagrams have all turned into ashes and vanished into nothingness. Only a bare peach tree remains on the Black Reef Island, devoid of any spiritual light, and is rapidly withering away.

But at the very top of the peach tree, a flat peach about a foot in size appeared out of nowhere.

Compared to the ancient peach, which was hundreds of feet tall, this peach was extremely small.

However, the pure and ethereal energy emanating from it was so strong that even Li Yinsheng found it extremely rich.

Moreover, as the ancient peach tree withered away, several crimson lines gradually appeared on the surface of the peaches, which were about a foot in size.

As these patterns emerge, the ethereal quality of the peaches is further enhanced.

"This... could it be the legendary Crimson-Striped Peaches?" Tantai Jing suddenly asked.
