Illusory Spirit Immortal Peach Tree

After all, he hadn't hidden it before, but now he suddenly concealed his cultivation level. Wasn't that simultaneously announcing to others that he possessed a magical Law Treasure to hide his cultivation, and also telling them that his cultivation was extraordinary and that's why he deliberately hid it from outsiders?

Yuan Jinsheng probably never expected that this outsider being tested on the Heart-Questioning Road would actually be a Golden Core cultivator.

Moreover, he was a knowledgeable cultivator from the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

On the other side, Liu Yunan, who was sorting out the day's task settlement in the General Affairs Hall, received Sound Transmission Talisman from Yuan Jinsheng and immediately got up and rushed towards Heart-Questioning Road.

Lin Xiao had already told He Yi about He Yi identity.

The other party is from the Talisman Sect, and is likely backed by a powerful figure in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. If we can get this person to act as a go-between, it will be beneficial for the sect's future development in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

However, the specific procedures will definitely need to be planned in detail later.

But now that they've arrived and passed the Heart-Questioning Road, they naturally deserve to be treated well and not let off the hook.

Even so, Lin Xiao also instructed that if the other party could successfully pass the Heart-Questioning Road assessment and enter the sect, he should be arranged to enter Azure Cloud Peak in the same way, without any special treatment.

Before leaving, Liu Yunan casually packed a new set of standard items for Azure Cloud Peak disciples into a Storage Bag and took it with him.

On the way, he also used the Lock Ring to contact Lin Xiao and told him that He Yi successfully passed the Heart-Questioning Road.

"Alright, just treat him normally. As for accommodation, let him build his own room, just like the other disciples," Lin Xiao instructed.

After all, this is a tradition of their Lingxian Sect. Now that they've joined, they can't miss experiencing this tradition.

Anyway He Yi, a Golden Core cultivator, building a lodging should be quite easy, right?

"He's not familiar with anyone else. See which place to arrange for him to stay so he can easily get to know the other disciples. Then, briefly explain our sect's situation to him, and let him know what the other Azure Cloud Peak disciples already know. Tell everyone about it at dinner. We'll talk about the rest when I get back."

"I understand, Brother Xiao. When are you coming back?" Liu Yunan asked.

Speaking of this, Lin Xiao said in a somewhat serious tone:

"It might be a while later. I've discovered something here that I need to investigate a bit."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunan did not ask any further questions.

"Alright, then Brother Xiao, please be careful. I'll manage things well with everyone in the sect, don't worry."

After the two finished their conversation, Liu Yunan hurried to greet He Yi, who was walking up the Heart-Questioning Road and standing in front of the Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree.

"Congratulations on passing the test of my sect's Heart-Questioning Road." Liu Yunan walked to the Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree and spoke to He Yi was gazing Spirit Concentration at the peach blossom tree.

Upon hearing the voice, He Yi slowly turned his head to look at Liu Yunan.

He held up a fallen peach leaf in his hand. His expression remained relatively calm, but his eyes were filled with astonishment.

"Lingxian Sect... actually possesses such a spirit peach tree...?"

The rising tone was filled with disbelief.

Liu Yunan was puzzled. Following his pointing finger, he looked up at the peach tree he had been watching for three years, somewhat confused:

Is there something wrong with this peach tree?

Seeing his nonchalant expression, He Yi took a deep breath and spoke after a long while:

"I once saw a record in an High Antiquity book in the Talisman Sect's library: ' The Illusory Spirit Immortal Peach Tree has an ancient and simple shape, beautiful flowers, a pure taste, and green leaves. With a touch of its spirit, the leaves can transform into all shapes and forms in the world, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.'"

As he spoke, Liu Yunan saw the hand holding a peach leaf tremble slightly. A slight Spiritual Power flowed from his fingertips and covered the peach leaf. The next moment, the peach leaf in He Yi's hand disappeared, replaced by a small gray rabbit.

Liu Yunan scanned the rabbit with his Divine Sense and discovered that it was actually alive! If he hadn't witnessed the rabbit transform from a peach leaf, he probably wouldn't have been able to tell that it was fake.

Who would have thought that the leaves of these Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree would have such a function?

Surprised, Liu Yunan suddenly remembered that they usually collected fallen leaves to make Peach Leaf Pendant. Coupled with the man's surprised expression at the appearance of the Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree, he suddenly felt a little guilty.

only...

"The Illusory Spirit Immortal Peach Tree? No, no, our sect's tree is called the Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree." This is the name Brother Xiao told them, so it can't be wrong.

However, He Yi seemed not to hear, and turned back to stare at the still unripe peaches on the tree, it was unclear whether he was speaking to Liu Yunan or talking to himself:

"Moreover, this Illusory Spirit Immortal Peach Tree has actually borne fruit... Ancient texts say that this tree bears fruit only once every ten thousand years, and even if it does bear fruit, people cannot pick it. Whenever the fruit ripens, a protective membrane forms around the tree, preventing even the strongest cultivator from breaking through to take the fruit; they can only watch the fruit fall."

"Even more miraculously, the fruit vanishes without a trace before it even hits the ground. Some speculate that the tree eats it itself, while others say it dissipates into the world. Therefore, the effects of this tree's fruit remain unknown..."

Looking at the tender fruits on the tree, which were extremely rare in ancient records and whose effects were unknown to the world, He Yi's voice grew softer and softer until Liu Yunan could hardly hear the last few words.

Seeing the other person's somewhat dazed expression, Liu Yunan scratched his head, unsure of how to handle the situation; he had never encountered this before.

"Then let's see how our sect leader distributes them when they ripen. If there are plenty, maybe everyone will be able to eat some. Then you'll know the effect!"

"So, fellow Daoist, shall we go through the initiation process first?" Liu Yunan held up the new disciple's Storage Bag in his hand.

Something must have struck a nerve with He Yi, because he finally turned to look at Liu Yunan again, his voice filled with disbelief:

"The sect is giving us these Illusory Spirit Immortal Peach... to eat?!"

Brother Xiao hadn't told them about this before, and Liu Yunan was too uncertain.

"I don't know, we'll see what the sect leader decides. But didn't you say nobody knows what this thing is for? If we don't eat it, we won't know what else it's good for."

He Yi:...

Do they even know that this Illusory Spirit Immortal Peach Tree is something that only a select few in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, who have access to the High Antiquity secret manuals treasured by various sects, have ever heard of?

He felt that the shock he had experienced today was equal to the sum of the shocks he had experienced over the past twenty years.

Recalling what he had just experienced on the Heart-Questioning Road behind him, he realized that it was quite different from the Heart-Questioning Road of the Talisman Sect and many other sects he had encountered.

He seemed somewhat distracted.
