Chen Lin looked at the peach tree before him, a thoughtful expression on his face.
The Peach Blossom Fairy clearly had not been helping him. She was worried that Hongchen would be hurt because of him, and probably wanted to curry favor as well, lest the Peach Ancestor punish her for selling Hongchen back then.
But whatever her reasons were,
if these three peaches truly worked as she had said, they would be an enormous help to him. As long as the Lake-Fishing Old Man's true body was not too powerful, he might even be able to turn the tables and kill every enemy!
He took a deep breath.
Chen Lin left the Grotto-Heaven.
First, he released Grass and had her hold the Fruit Core, then took Hongchen back inside.
He gave her a brief explanation.
Then he said, "Give it a try. Let's see just how effective these peaches are."
"All right."
Hongchen agreed.
A ray of light bloomed from Peach Tip Mountain, connecting to one of the peaches.
The peach on the tree immediately began to shrivel, while Hongchen brimmed with vitality, growing fuller and fuller.
In just a few breaths,
Hongchen returned to her peak condition.
The peach she had consumed, however, was reduced to a layer of wrinkled skin wrapped around its pit. It swayed, then fell to the ground.
A sharp gleam shone in Chen Lin's eyes.
This recovery was even faster than the Peach Blossom Fairy had claimed.
It was truly charcoal delivered in a snowstorm.
Having these three peaches was equivalent to having three chances to use the Destiny Character, giving him some confidence about what lay ahead.
Still, he did not become arrogant.
Even if he could withstand the second wave of attacks, he would ultimately have to break the seal before
