She Must Have Grown from a Peach Blossom Tree

Suppressing the thought, Chen Nianzhi stayed with Jiang Linglong for a few more days before flying back to Yu Commandery on her sword.

In Peaceful Sun City, he met the Old Clan Leader. In recent years, the patriarch's lifespan has approached 260 years, and his aura has become much more profound. He has actually cultivated to the Ninth Purple Mansion Layer.

This made Chen Nianzhi even happier, and he couldn't help but say, "Old Granduncle, your cultivation has advanced even further now. I'm afraid you'll be able to break through to the Golden Core realm realm within ten years."

"We really have to thank your third-tier Spirit Pearl."

The Old Clan Leader said with a smile that after occupying Heavenly Python Lake, Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong found three precious Shell King Pearl in Heavenly Python Lake.

The Shell King Pearl can increase the cultivation speed of cultivators in the Purple Mansion. Chen Nianzhi once received this item from Jiang Linglong, which enabled him to quickly break through to the Mid-Purple Mansion realm.

After breaking through to the Purple Mansion Late Stage, Chen Nianzhi's cultivation was delayed by ten years due to the refining of the Earth Sovereign Bell, which significantly slowed down his progress.

However, he is still confident that he can reach the Great Perfection of Purple Mansion within thirty years, mainly because he obtained these few Shell King Pearl.

One Shell King Pearl is enough for thirty years. Chen Nianzhi took two Shell King Pearl, keeping one for herself and giving the other to the Old Clan Leader.

As the two were talking, Chen Nianzhi took out the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace: "I came here to give this to you."

"With my cultivation level, I'm afraid my ability to unleash the power of this thing is inferior to yours."

As the Old Clan Leader spoke, he still took the Tier 4 Magical Treasure.

Chen Nianzhi now possesses four Tier 4 Swordsmanship: the Heavenly Separation Twin Swords, the Thousand Demons Slaying Devil Sword, and the Earth Sovereign Bell.

Generally speaking, a cultivator in the early Golden Core stage can barely activate three or four Tier 4 Magical Treasure with their Divine Sense.

Chen Nianzhi was able to activate four items because his Divine Sense was comparable to that of Golden Core realm cultivator, and his Life-bound Magical Treasure consumed only 30% of the mana of Law Power Law Treasure of the same level.

However, even with his Purple Mansion Late Stage Law Power, he no longer had the spare power to activate the fifth Tier 4 Magical Treasure.

Chen Changxuan specializes in the Sunfire Scripture, which allows him to unleash the full power of this treasure. Therefore, it's not a waste that the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace has fallen into his hands.

After leaving Peaceful Sun City, Chen Nianzhi returned to Spirit Isle Lake and continued to accumulate Law Power step by step.

His cultivation emphasizes perseverance. Even when he's been very busy over the years, he never misses his daily cultivation practice unless the circumstances truly prevent it.

With this daily practice, more than half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

"..."

On this day, Chen Nianzhi finished inhaling and exhaling the Hongmeng Purple Qi and completed her cultivation practice.

He stood up and looked up at the peach grove in front of him, only then realizing that spring had come again and the peach blossoms had fallen all over the ground.

"The peach blossoms are in bloom again this year."

Chen Nianzhi felt refreshed and her eyes went straight to the figure in the peach blossom forest.

At the end of the peach blossom grove, a woman in a snow-white dress plucked a peach blossom branch, lowering her eyes to gently inhale its delicate fragrance.

She looked at Chen Nianzhi, her bright eyes carrying a pure smile, "The peach blossoms here are so beautiful. I come to see them every year as usual, and I never get tired of them."

"Here, help me put this on and let me see."

Chen Nianzhi smiled as she took the peach blossom branch and carefully tucked it into her long, black hair.

In an instant, the peach blossom hairpin petals became delicate and vibrant, seemingly enhancing the beauty of the entire peach grove.

"A beauty is not born from a mother's womb, but rather grows from a peach tree."

For some inexplicable reason, Chen Nianzhi pulled her along, feeling a pang of emotion.

"Glib-tongued."

Jiang Linglong's face flushed slightly as she spoke, but without realizing it, the hand holding hers tightened its grip.

Ten miles of spring breeze are not as beautiful as you; Ten-Mile Peach Blossoms fall and fill the stream.

In the babbling brook beside them, several fish chased after peach petals to eat. They seemed to have mistakenly swallowed dog food, and couldn't help but turn their bellies up, staring with dead fish eyes. After a while, they swam away unhappily.

Chen Nianzhi walked on the Lakeheart Island, accompanying Jiang Linglong as they looked at the Ten-Mile Peach Blossoms.

But this stirred Jiang Linglong's girlish heart, and she pulled him aside with a smile, saying, "It's been so long since I've seen you play the zither. Play a tune for me today."

"Good."

Chen Nianzhi nodded. Dressed in white, he placed his zither on his lap, sat cross-legged under the Spirit Peach Tree, and looked at her with a hint of doting in his eyes.

The title of this piece is "Myth".

As the fingertips glided across the strings, a long, melodious melody began to play, as if it were being sung across a thousand years.

She listened quietly, her bright eyes reflecting the stunningly handsome man in white. His white robes shone brilliantly, seemingly radiating a hazy light that made even the Ten-Mile Peach Blossoms pale in comparison.

Looking at that figure, she lowered her eyes and stepped out, her snow-white dress fluttering in the falling petals.

Beneath the Spirit Peach Tree, he gazed tenderly at her, playing a melody that seemed to belong to another world. Her graceful figure unfolded to the music, dancing a dance untouched by the mortal realm.

The Spirit Peach Tree seemed to sense something, and a gentle rain of blossoms fell.

Dancing among the flowers, playing the zither beneath the trees.

He played the zither of his past life amidst a shower of blossoms, while she danced in this world amidst peach blossoms, as if their paths were merging across two different time periods.

On the distant lakeside, Xian Yan stood quietly, her eyes gazing up at the couple, listening to the music and dance, but her heart felt as if it had sunk into an endless abyss.

She felt a little breathless and then realized that tears were streaming down her face.

Some feelings are destined to be like walking on thin ice, uncontrollable and unthinkable.

Even if you harbor those feelings, you must spend your entire life hiding them...

"..."

As the music ended, their souls seemed to grow closer.

Jiang Linglong nestled in his arms, her usual sharpness replaced by a rare tenderness.

Looking at the peach tree in full bloom, she said with a smile, "The Beast Turmoil is over. The Exchange Fair will be held in the Ji Kingdom in two months."

"Okay, let's go together."

Chen Nianzhi held her tightly, as if embracing the world.

The Exchange Fair for Golden Core realm cultivators in the Chu Kingdom is usually held once every sixty years, except for one other time after the Beast Turmoil ends.

The opportunity was rare, and to avoid missing the Exchange Fair, the two did not linger and left Yu Commandery early.

The Ji Kingdom is millions of miles away from the Chu Kingdom, but Golden Core realm cultivator can travel 200,000 miles in a day, so a distance of several million miles is nothing.

The two spent a month traversing the Azuregreen Mountains and the Yan Kingdom, finally arriving at the territory of the Ji Kingdom.

The Exchange Fair Marketplace be held in Ji Continent Market.

Ji Continent Market is the largest Cultivation Market among the surrounding continents, and it ranks among the top in the entire Eastern Wilderness.

Therefore, every time the Ji Continent Exchange Fair is held, not only will Golden Core realm cultivators from the Ji Continent come, but cultivators from nearby continents such as Heavenly Hut Continent and Thousand Stars Continent will also cross the natural barriers between continents to reach this place.

"Ji Continent Market."

Looking at the Ji Continent Market before him, Chen Nianzhi's eyes flashed with shock.

This was his first time visiting Ji Continent Market District, and the first time he had ever seen such a huge Marketplace.

Compared to this place, neither the major Marketplace of the Chu Kingdom nor the Qinyuan Market of the Yuan Kingdom in the Heavenly Hut Continent are nearly as good.
