Several days later.
The Thunderfire Hall and Fire Hall) contains the ancestral hall.
In the open space in front of the ancestral hall, three Red Jade Flat Peach Tree drooped their branches listlessly. After several days of hard work, Lu Ming and his team had successfully transplanted the peach trees. Because these trees were extremely valuable, they were planted directly in the most important place in the house, which was the ancestral hall.
However, the already poor condition of the Red Jade Flat Peach Tree, after such a major ordeal, is clearly not far from dying.
" A-Ming, we're counting on you."
Lu Qingyan patted Lu Ming on the shoulder, his face full of tension and anticipation.
Even Lu Jin extinguished his pipe, fearing that the smoke would affect the growth of the Red Jade Flat Peach Tree.
"Go for it, bro!"
Lu Mengmeng's little face was full of curiosity, and her big eyes were fixed on the few shriveled peaches on the peach tree. Her nose twitched, and she was starting to feel hungry.
She hoped that Lu Ming could cure the peach tree so that she could eat these rare and delicious peaches in the future.
Lu Ming smiled and nodded. Under their tense gazes, he walked to the peach tree, stretched out his palm, and emerald green Flame of Life rose from his palm, instantly surging with vigorous vitality, making even the air here seem refreshing.
And whether it was an illusion or not, the withered peach branches of the three Red Jade Flat Peach Tree in front of me seemed to be slightly wagging at this moment.
Lu Ming touched the trunk of a peach tree with his hand burning with the Flame of Life. In an instant, emerald green flames swept out and transformed into a thin layer of fire film, covering the entire peach tree.
In an instant, it seemed as if the peach trees had been set ablaze.
Although they understood the unique abilities of the Flame of Life, the scene before them still made Lu Jin, Lu Qingyan, and Lu Jinglei's eyelids twitch involuntarily, and they inexplicably broke out in a cold sweat for the " Red Jade Flat Peach Tree ".
Fortunately, it was not burned to ashes.
The Flame of Life remains wondrous.
As the emerald flames burned, the curled, withered branches and leaves of the Red Jade Flat Peach Tree gradually showed a hint of green, and then the branches and leaves slowly unfolded.
The few withered Red Jade Flat Peach hanging sparsely on the tree also began to gleam with a hint of jade-like light.
This once lifeless Red Jade Flat Peach Tree has begun to revive under the scorching heat of the Flame of Life!
Most importantly, as the Red Jade Red Jade Flat Peach Tree Red Jade Flat Peach Tree revived, everyone present could even feel that its roots were actively extending into the depths of the soil and absorbing the life force contained within it.
It's worth mentioning that the soil here, having been scorched by Lu Ming's Flame of Life over the past few days, has resulted in a faint life force within the soil, although this life force is now slowly fading away.
However, the Red Jade Flat Peach Tree does not simply take. While it absorbs the vitality contained in the soil, it also releases a faint trace of pure Primordial Qi from its roots, which gradually seeps into the soil.
This is a process of soil modification.
Over time, the pure Primordial Qi released by the Red Jade Flat Peach Tree will transform the soil here into a special Spirit Soil that is increasingly suitable for its growth.
Lu Ming used the wondrous power of the Flame of Life to reignite the extinguished connection between the Red Jade Flat Peach Tree and the soil, creating a healthy supply between them and maintaining balance.
Then Lu Ming spent some more time lighting fires to replenish the life force of the other two Red Jade Flat Peach Tree, exhausting all the abundant Primordial Qi in his body.
Now, the number of Divine Ability Dharma Mark engraved and condensed on his Divine Ability Bone has reached seven. When he ate all the " Golden Pupil Spirit Fish ", Lu Ming's seventh Divine Ability Dharma Mark was already more than half formed. After the series of bloody battles with the Peach Mountain Band, he has not relaxed for the past few days. Therefore, today, the seventh Divine Ability Dharma Mark has been completely condensed.
With the seven Divine Ability Dharma Mark as his foundation, the duration and intensity of his Flame of Life were greatly enhanced, enabling him to complete the task of healing the three " Red Jade Flat Peach Tree ".
At this point, all three Red Jade Flat Peach Tree began to recover and thrived outside the ancestral hall.
"From now on, I will come here every now and then to replenish the peach trees and soil with vitality. Once the environment here stabilizes, the peach trees will nourish the Spirit Soil in return, and this place will be able to truly sustain the ' Red Jade Flat Peach Tree '." Lu Ming clapped his hands, admiring his masterpiece, a look of satisfaction on his face.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin and the other two felt a great sense of relief, their faces filled with undisguised elation.
"Tsk tsk, three ripe ' Red Jade Flat Peach Tree '. I never dreamed that our Lu Clan would have such an opportunity." Lu Jinglei reached out and carefully touched the trunk of the peach tree, sighing.
It's worth noting that the Li and Yan families probably invested millions of Heavenly Gold Sand to create that small blessed land called " Spirit Fish Pond " to achieve its current scale.
As long as they guard these three " Red Jade Flat Peach Tree," the entire Lu Clan will benefit greatly. In particular, such scarce cultivation resources, if even a small amount is given out as a reward, countless Great Divine Ability Practitioner will be eager to teach at the Thunderfire Hall.
However, they will not do so for the time being. The " Red Jade Flat Peach Tree " is quite valuable. They will wait until the Thunderfire Hall is stronger and at least upgraded to the Fourth-Tier Divine Ability Hall before publicizing it to the outside world, so as not to attract covetousness.
"Grandpa, I've also ripened these three ' Red Jade Flat Peach ' these past few days. What do you want to do with them?" Lu Ming picked up the sandalwood box from the stone table beside him, opened it, and saw three plump peaches, as if cast from red jade, lying quietly inside, emitting an enticing fragrance.
These three Red Jade Flat Peach were obtained from the warehouses of Peach Mountain Band. In the past few days, Lu Ming had not forgotten to replenish their vitality with the Flame of Life, and thus they regained their true radiance.
Lu Mengmeng, standing to the side, smelled the peach fragrance, and her stomach began to rumble, making the others chuckle.
" Mengmeng, you're not allowed to steal any of the peaches in this yard, or I'll spank you until your bottom is bruised. And when they ripen, you'll get your share," Lu Qingyan warned with amusement.
Lu Mengmeng gave a reluctant "oh".
Lu Jin smiled and patted Lu Mengmeng's head, then said to Lu Ming, "Keep it. Consuming this will strengthen your physical body and refine your Primordial Qi, which will be very beneficial to you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming shook his head and said, "Grandpa, I'll keep one to try. I want to give the other two to Master Zhou Xuan and ask him to help me see if he can refine them into high-grade pills that purify True Qi. You really need them right now."
Lu Jin has now condensed a wisp of True Qi, but he is not yet a true True Qi Master, and he still needs a period of accumulation in this process.
Lu Jin was taken aback, then pondered, "Isn't that necessary? I've already overcome the most difficult hurdle. From now on, I just need to accumulate slowly, and I'll eventually be able to convert all my Primordial Qi into True Qi and enter the True Qi Realm."
"But what we lack most right now is time," Lu Ming said, shaking his head seriously.
"Although we've dealt with the troublesome Peach Mountain Band, Lin Changkong remains unharmed. Compared to Guo Kui Guo Kui, he's the real venomous snake, posing a far greater threat."
"Our attack on the Peach Mountain Band this time has exposed Grandpa's strength. With Lin Changkong's cunning and shrewdness, he must be wary of this. If he makes a move next time, he probably won't give us any chance to turn the tables."
"Maybe..."
" Lin Changkong will no longer use others' methods."
As soon as Lu Ming said this, Lu Jin and the other two fell silent. The joy they had felt earlier because of the " Red Jade Flat Peach Tree " dissipated, and a sense of urgency welled up in their hearts.
The thought of a powerful and cunning True Qi Master is enough to make one restless and unable to eat or sleep.
" A-Ming's caution is truly a legacy from his grandfather." After a moment, Lu Jin smiled with great satisfaction. With this caution, Lu Ming would be able to go further on the path of supernatural powers in the future.
"Your concerns are valid. Lin Changkong has made several attempts to test our strength, but he has failed to defeat our Thunderfire Hall so that we can curry favor with the noble lady of the Great Golden Crow Hall. His patience is probably running out."
"In that case, let's do as you say."
"However, it's no easy task to get a master alchemist like Zhou Xuan to refine Dao of Alchemy. Here's what we'll do: take the 100,000 Heavenly Gold Sand you seized from the Peach Mountain Band as payment and see if you can persuade him to do so."
Lu Jin was a decisive person, and since she knew the importance of this matter, she did not hesitate at all.
Lu Ming was about to say something when Lu Jin waved his hand and said, "These Heavenly Gold Sand may not have caught Zhou Xuan's eye, but this is how we ask for his help. Although you are favored by Dao of Alchemy Zhou Xuan because of your talent in alchemy, you can't waste your goodwill on such things. Every bit of goodwill you have is precious, so it's best to save it for a critical moment."
"The ' Sun-Shining Golden Flame Banner ' that you cultivated will ultimately remain unknown in its purpose. It's best to maintain some goodwill now; if things change in the future, he might be able to offer you some guidance out of consideration for us."
"Okay, I'll listen to Grandpa."
Lu Ming smiled and agreed. The old man's words were the result of years of hardship, and he should listen to them.
So he put away the Red Jade Flat Peach, took the Heavenly Gold Sand, and went straight to the government office.
