Chapter 1156: Chapter 637: Rank-4 Immortal Peach Tree (15,200 Monthly Votes Additional Release) Chapter 1156: Chapter 637: Rank-4 Immortal Peach Tree (15,200 Monthly Votes Additional Release) “Xuan’er, you take four Immortal Peach Fruits.”

After Fu Zongjue and Zhou Shengqing left Xiao Nanshan, only the three of them, mentor and disciples, remained. Chen Mobai looked at the basket full of peaches in Zhuo Ming’s hands and pointed for her to pick some for herself.

“Thank you, Master!”

Luo Yixuan had long been coveting the Immortal Peach Fruits, but because of her special physical condition before, she needed to suppress her cultivation progress, so Chen Mobai had not allowed her to take them.

Now that she was already considered a Golden Core Cultivator and had Elder Ming’s External Incarnation as a backup, even if her Spiritual Power were to suddenly break through to the Golden Core Realm, she would be able to control it.

So, there was no problem with consuming the Immortal Peach Fruits.

“Ming’er, you take another two.”

Zhuo Ming had previously consumed two, and the effect of taking more would be greatly reduced, but who was to say no when there were plenty of peach fruits now.

Chen Mobai would certainly give priority to his own disciples.

“Master, what about the eldest senior brother?”

Zhuo Ming picked one and then asked another question.

“Wen Bo’s foundational talent isn’t as good as you two, so I had him polish his Spiritual Power and solidify his foundation to avoid failure due to these hidden issues when he forms his Core later on. But now the time is almost right, you let him know later to come and take four as well.”

Liu Wen Bo has been at the Early Foundation Stage for nearly twenty years, he always listens to Chen Mobai’s words. Over the years, he has been diligent in handling affairs and cultivation, and he encountered a bottleneck two years ago. After grinding for two years, it’s time for him to have a breakthrough.

“And the junior brother, he has only consumed two as well.”

Zhuo Ming asked again, her demeanor increasingly resembling that of a family elder.

“When he comes over at the end of the year, give him two as well. I leave this task to you,” he said.

Although consuming the fifth Immortal Peach Fruit can still increase 1 drop of Liquid Spiritual Power, it can no longer grow the Spiritual Roots, so Chen Mobai did not wish to waste it excessively.

Giving four each to every disciple was just perfect!

Moreover, Zhuo Ming had already communicated with the newly advanced Rank-4 Immortal Peach Tree, which would take thirty years to mature its Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruits.

In the case that it doesn’t affect the nutrition of Rank-4 peach fruits, the Immortal Peach Tree can mature an additional Rank-3 peach fruit each year.

Moreover, with the assistance of Zhuo Ming’s Mother Qi of All Things and Tai Sui juice, this pace could be further accelerated.

Chen Mobai didn’t know how effective the Rank-4 Immortal Peach Fruits would be for him, as this was the first documented Rank-4 Immortal Peach Tree in the entire history of the Eastern Wilderness.

So he was quite looking forward to it.

“Master, what about the other seven?”

Zhuo Ming counted the peach fruits in the bamboo basket and asked again.

These things could only be preserved for a few years after being picked. If not consumed, she could make wine with them, but it would still be best if consumed by cultivators.

“I’ll take one for my nephew Gu Yan, and you can send one to your junior sister Qing Mei. Hang the remaining five in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, priced at five thousand Spirit Stones or contributions, to give the Sect’s Foundation Establishment Practitioners a little motivation.”

The latter half of Chen Mobai’s words confused Zhuo Ming somewhat, while Luo Yixuan understood, but her attention was all on the first half of the statement.

Gu Yan, Yin Qingmei!

She silently repeated the names of these two individuals in her heart. During the ten years she was trapped in Huangquan, these two had occupied the position that rightfully belonged to her.

Previously, when Chen Mobai was at Xiao Nanshan, all who served, gifted, and handled affairs were her!

…

During this period, the cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect were all discussing the event of Sect Master Chen’s Immortal Peach Tree advancing and transcending heavenly tribulation.

Even though they were now considered the foremost great sect of the Eastern Wilderness, for many disciples, witnessing a Heavenly Tribulation was a first-time experience.

Amidst the admiration and exclamation of the crowd, they were also inquiring about that Immortal Peach Tree.

“According to the head of the Spirit Plant Department, only Spirit Plants of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots calibre would invoke such a powerful Heavenly Tribulation when advancing to Rank-4.”

“This Immortal Peach Tree was personally transplanted by Sect Master Chen from Black Cloud Mountain after his Core Formation, if it weren’t a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root, the Sect Master definitely wouldn’t have been interested!”

“May I ask this senior brother, what’s so special about this Immortal Peach Tree that made the Sect Master go to such great lengths, mobilizing the Sect’s resources to assist in its advancement?”

“I don’t know much else, but I heard from a true disciple of the Spirit Plant Department that consuming one of the fruits from that tree can increase a Foundation Establishment Practitioner’s Liquid Spiritual Power by twenty drops. You should know, some practitioners in the early stages of Foundation Establishment with a weak base have only about that much Spiritual Power in total.”

While the Qi Practitioners were discussing fervently, many of the Divine Wood Sect’s Foundation Establishment Practitioners could no longer sit still.

They discovered that the Spirit Treasure Pavilion had suddenly listed five Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruits for sale.

They had heard about this Immortal Peach Tree when it was in the hands of Yuan Hongyuan. Sadly, due to the low Level of the Spirit Vein at Black Cloud Mountain, it was difficult for the tree to bear fruit. Yuan Hongyuan always considered it a treasure and only sold it at a few private trade events.

And now that it had successfully matured under Chen Mobai’s care and after it had been distributed among his four disciples and his foster daughter and maid, there were still five surplus fruits.

Because of the Peach Tree’s tribulation, virtually all cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect knew of the Immortal Peach Fruits’ effects.

So practically every cultivator who was earnest about their cultivation wanted to exchange for one.

After all, these Immortal Peach Fruits are completely natural and come without the concern of pill toxicity.

Especially those practitioners who are stuck in bottlenecks, they all wanted to use this opportunity to have a breakthrough.

Even though five thousand Spirit Stones was a lot, the Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Divine Wood Sect have accumulated quite a fortune over the years through several battles, and those who survived basically all had a substantial wealth.

“`
Moreover, this Immortal Peach Fruit could be exchanged using both Sect Contribution and Spirit Stone Contributions, allowing every Foundation Establishment Practitioner to exchange for one.

As a result, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators who received the news almost broke down the doors of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.

“Elder Brother Yi, I’ve already registered you, and as soon as there is news, I will notify you immediately,”
The rotating Elder in charge of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion this month was Liang Lingzhen from the Reward Virtue Hall. He courteously registered the head of the Formation Division, Yi Shaoqing, in a book and then said his goodbyes.

“Junior Brother Liang, isn’t everything in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion supposed to be on a first-come-first-served basis? Why is it now like this?”

Yi Shaoqing didn’t understand, but Liang Lingzhen smiled and explained.

He said the Immortal Peach Fruit was precious and that the Sect Leader, delighted by the peach tree’s level up, offered it to ensure that all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Sect had a chance to exchange for it.

So it was also necessary to give Cultivators outside the Sect a chance.

After all, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators guarding in the six nations and Yun Meng Ze would surely receive the news much later than those inside the Giant Tree Ridge, and they had to wait for them.

“But there are only five Immortal Peach Fruits, and there isn’t a single Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the entire Sect who doesn’t want one. In the end, who will they be exchanged with?”

Yi Shaoqing quickly pointed out the problem and asked.

However, Liang Lingzhen fell silent at that moment.

As the head of the Formation Division, Yi Shaoqing quickly caught on and looked up at the sky with a sudden realization on his face.

After he understood, he no longer asked any more questions. He bid farewell to Liang Lingzhen and left the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, then immediately sought ways to visit Chen Mobai.

But all visitors were blocked by Gu Yan.

She said that Sect Master Chen was at a critical juncture in his Cultivation Technique practice and was in closed-door cultivation.

After hearing this, Yi Shaoqing could only fist-palm salute the spiritually clear and graceful Junior Sister before him and reluctantly turn to leave.

Gu Yan knew well why the head of the Formation Division had come.

He was the fifth department-level upper-echelon Sect member to try. Aside from him, even the Vice Hall Masters from the other two halls had come to visit the day after the Immortal Peach Fruit was put on the shelf.

Subconsciously, she touched her Storage Bag, which contained an Immortal Peach Fruit given to her by Chen Mobai.

When she first accepted it, although she knew that a gift from a Golden Core Cultivator wouldn’t be ordinary, she didn’t expect it to be this precious.

Only when she saw the Vice Hall Masters and department heads, apart from the Golden Core Cultivators, jostling for the Immortal Peach Fruit did she realize it was even more precious than she had imagined.

At that moment, Gu Yan was overjoyed to be a direct descendant of the Sect Leader.

After stopping Yi Shaoqing, Gu Yan hurried to continue refining Longevity Tree Sap.

She was well aware that this was key to establishing herself in the Sect Leader’s Longevity Wood Dojo.

But soon, Gu Yan found she simply didn’t have the time.

Because the Foundation Establishment Cultivators outside the Sect, after hearing about the Immortal Peach Fruit, had all found excuses to return.

After registering at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, many of them realized they needed Sect Master Chen’s approval to exchange for it.

However, to their credit, they didn’t all rush over at once.

They came one by one.

This situation troubled the gatekeeping Gu Yan; every time she was halfway through refining the Longevity Tree Sap, someone would knock at the door.

Although she was now officially a maid to Chen Mobai, and was highly respected, Gu Yan wasn’t the type to bully others with her status. Moreover, as one of the latest Foundation Establishment members in the Sect, each visitor was a senior to her and deserved respect.

While Gu Yan was troubled, Yin Qingmei was pleasantly surprised to receive the Immortal Peach Fruit from Zhuo Ming.

“Senior Sister Yin, this was brought to you by our Master. He said that you had expended all your Spiritual Power practicing the Grand Spells and were somewhat weakened so you could use this fruit to replenish yourself,”
“Thank you, Junior Sister Zhuo,”
Although Yin Qingmei had been diligently practicing the Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture on Qingdai Mountain, the recent signs of Heavenly Tribulation in South Mountain had alarmed her. She later inquired with those from the Penalty Evil Hall and learned about the Immortal Peach Tree and the Immortal Peach Fruit.

Even as a Heavenly Spiritual Root, she coveted such rare and exotic fruits. After the Immortal Peach Fruit was put on sale at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, she immediately went to register.

She had even thought about secretly asking her foster father to exchange one of the fruits for her, but as it turned out, he had already arranged it.

“Thank you, Sect Leader…”

After receiving the bright red Immortal Peach Fruit from Zhuo Ming, Yin Qingmei held it with both hands and bowed respectfully in the direction of the Longevity Wood where Chen Mobai was, grateful that her foster father was so good to her and determined not to let him down!

After discussing some points on consuming the Immortal Peach Fruit, Zhuo Ming said her goodbyes and left.

Soon after, some heavyweight Foundation Establishment Practitioners finally returned to Giant Tree Ridge.

They were King Zhou’s E Yun and others who were defending the six nations, along with Xie Yuntian, Kou Canzhi, and other powerful department heads stationed in Yun Meng Ze!

However, they too didn’t get past Gu Yan. Chen Mobai maintained the appearance of fairness, treating everyone equally.

In this group, E Yun was quite composed, spending his days either drinking tea in his courtyard or catching up with old friends like Yue Zutao.

On the other hand, King Zhou, knowing he wasn’t a direct descendant of Chen Mobai, was somewhat uneasy.

He had his niece inquire with those closest to Sect Master Chen.

“Senior Sister Zhuo, it’s been a long time,”
Zhou Bingyan, on behalf of King Zhou, came to visit Zhuo Ming in South Mountain.
