Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

226: Black Wind Ridge, Four People Traveling EastLooking at the peach in his hand, it contained a vitality comparable to that of a Late-Stage Saint Lord, enough to restore a severely injured Saint Lord Level figure to their peak state in an instant.

A Heaven And Earth Treasure of this Rank could be considered among the very top tier in the current world.

Moreover, the vitality contained within this peach had a very clear, intrinsic connection to the Azure Emperor Longevity Record within his body.

If someone were to eat this peach, he could, to a certain extent, manipulate the consumer’s vitality.

Thereby achieving a state similar to the aberration of True God Tengguang from that day.

Furthermore, the essence of the vitality contained within this peach was extremely high; even for a Late-Stage Saint Lord, once an aberration occurred, it would be almost irreversible unless he personally intervened.

He couldn’t help but sigh; in truth, the effect was still a bit lacking. If this attachment of vitality could penetrate to the level of the true spirit, it would be a rare assassination artifact in this world.

After all, besides the person involved, who would suspect that the aberration occurring in the consumer was actually caused by the very person who gifted this supreme treasure?

If the timeframe were extended, perhaps even the person involved wouldn’t harbor any suspicion.

He stored the peach in his dimensional space, then waved his hand, severing all the remaining twenty-four peaches.

He took out three of them and presented them to Hua An, while storing the rest away in his dimensional space.

Hua An looked at the three immortal peaches before him, his heart burning with fervor. This dense vitality made him feel as though his Lifespan had already increased just by smelling it.

If he were to eat them, wouldn’t he be able to Breakthrough the 129,600-year life-and-death hurdle?

Taking a few deep breaths, he suppressed the heat in his heart and pushed the immortal peaches before him away. ”Elder Qin, these are your treasures. How could I accept them? Wouldn’t that make me someone who covets treasure?”

Qin Jiang smiled slightly. ”Sect Master, you are too polite. Without the help of the Sect, I would not have recovered so quickly, let alone crossed the Immortal Tribulation. Consider these few immortal peaches as a token of gratitude, and... the cultivation fees for this peach tree.”

Hua An’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he looked at Qin Jiang in shock. ”Elder Qin! You mean, this, this peach tree, is to remain at the Sword Sect?!”

He couldn’t help but look at the peach tree. This was an immortal treasure! One couldn’t even find a few of these in the entire Zhongyuan Continent!

The Flat Peach Immortal Tree left behind by the Kunlun Immortal Mother in the Exquisite Dao Land, the Undying Immortal Tree of the Nongyan Dao Land, and the Imperial Apricot Immortal Tree left behind by the Emperor Ancestor Immortal King back in the day, and so on.

In total, there are no more than what can be counted on one’s fingers, and every one of them is a supreme treasure that only Dao Land Level forces could possess!

These aren’t just the immortal peaches that grew, this is an immortal tree capable of continuously producing immortal peaches!

His Chang Sheng Sword Sect, let alone a Dao Land, was even a tier below a Holy Land. How could they possibly hold such a supreme treasure?

”I will have to trouble the Sect Master to look after it. Rest assured, this is my wish; no one will come to seize it.” Qin Jiang laughed.

Hua An’s expression was conflicted. This, this, this—he had lived for tens of thousands of years and had never encountered such a thing.

He had only invested some treasures for recovery, and it had actually resulted in obtaining an immortal tree of which there were only a few in the entire continent.

Hiss~ He really felt a bit burning with embarrassment. Giving this to him, he didn’t even have the thick enough skin to accept it!

”This peach tree should have a name. Since its vitality is so vigorous, and it is rooted in the Chang Sheng Sword Sect, why not call it the Longevity Immortal Tree?” Qin Jiang looked at Hua An.

Hua An moved slightly and rubbed his hands. ”Uh, this... naturally, it is up to Elder Qin to decide. Also, how about... Elder Qin, why don’t you take this Sect Master position?”

Qin Jiang was stunned. Before he could say anything, Hua An’s body flew out, smashing through the courtyard wall.

Black White Sword Ancestor retracted his foot and bowed to Qin Jiang. ”The Sect Master is old and senile. Elder Qin, please forgive him.”

”Haha, Sword Ancestor is too polite.” Qin Jiang laughed.

”Cough! Cough cough! Long Hei Bai! You actually dared to kick me! And you used so much force! Have you forgotten who brought you into the Sect back then?”

Hua An walked in, one hand supporting the wall and the other supporting his old waist, glaring at Long Hei Bai.

”What is my Junior Martial Nephew saying? I am merely disciplining you on behalf of my Senior Brother. Elder Qin has the talent of a celestial being; you attempted to use the mere position of Sect Master to make him stay—do you not know that this goes against the Heavenly Dao?”

Black White Sword Ancestor said this with a straight face, stroking his non-existent beard.

”You! You!” Hua An pointed at Black White Sword Ancestor, and just as he was about to spout some useless harsh words, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded from behind.

”Father! Are you alright!” Hua Junlan’s cry came, and the next moment she had arrived close by.

Hua An immediately stood up straight, flicked his hand, and his tattered robes became brand new again.

With his hands behind his back, he said, ”Junlan, your father is naturally fine. But you, how many times have I told you? You are the future Saintess of Chang Sheng, you must always be cautious in your words and actions.”

Hua Junlan lowered her head slightly upon hearing this. ”I know, Father. I came to see Elder Qin; Elder Qin previously asked me to collect some things.”

Hua An’s expression changed slightly. ”Cough cough, I see. That is understandable. In that case, you and Elder Qin can discuss it; the Sword Ancestor and I will take our leave first.”

As he spoke, he signaled to Black White Sword Ancestor.

After the two left, Hua Junlan secretly glanced at Qin Jiang. ”Elder Qin, the antique and old objects you asked me to collect have already been gathered; they are all in a large courtyard in the east of the city. However, this is probably only about fifty percent of what is in the city; the rest will require some time to collect.”

Qin Jiang nodded. ”It is fine, these are enough. There is no need to trouble yourself with the rest. Let us go, to the east of the city.”

Hua Junlan nodded slightly. In fact, she had arrived long ago, but she had not dared to come over.

Not just her, but Long Can and a group of Elders were the same.

After all, Qin Jiang’s strength and Realm were too high, which would involuntarily make people feel fear.

”Elder Qin, will you be heading to Black Wind Ridge tomorrow?” she asked.

”No, I will be setting off today,” Qin Jiang said.

Hearing that it wasn’t, Hua Junlan felt a slight sense of secret joy, but it was immediately shattered.

She lowered her head. ”The rest can be collected in just two days; it won’t be delayed.”

Qin Jiang looked at her upon hearing this. ”Then you can collect them first; I will return once more before I leave.”

”Okay! I will speed up!”

After the two left, Hua An and Black White Sword Ancestor appeared in the courtyard.

Hua An looked around, then walked quickly to the three immortal peaches floating in the courtyard, stroking them cautiously before storing them away in a jade box.

Black White Sword Ancestor curled his lip. He said he didn’t want them, but his hands weren’t idle.

”Hey, old fogey, can you afford to raise this immortal tree?”

Hua An glanced back at him. ”I~ of course I can’t afford to raise it. However, didn’t you slay a middle stage demon tiger before? Bring me its essence blood to use? You can’t use it anyway, and I will compensate you with some other resources.”

Black White Sword Ancestor suppressed the urge to draw his sword. ”Got it! You are always eyeing my treasures!”

”Hey! I don’t like hearing that! That whole family of yours is being raised by me!” Hua An said, glaring.

Sword Qi surged behind Black White Sword Ancestor. He forcibly suppressed the urge to slash at him, tossed a jade bottle, and then flew off directly.

A moment later, two sword lights maneuvered in the air, accompanied by a middle-aged man’s voice.

”Dad! Why are you slashing at me!”

”You wicked spawn! I told you not to be unable to control yourself! Today, Father will help you remove this root of trouble!”

”Don’t! I just got back! Acting with that ’Chosen One’ is very tiring!”

”Chosen One? Why are you back so early! Go to Black Wind Ridge and keep watch! Your Junior Martial Uncle Qin is going over there!”

Three days later, on the outskirts of Black Wind Ridge.

The undulating mountain range was endless to the eye. Inside a small mountain path, a group of four walked along the road.

The tall and sturdy Sha Wujing was clearing the path in front, while the three behind were somewhat bored.

”Ba Jie, go hunt a demon king to satisfy our appetites. We’ve only been traveling these past two days; my mouth is getting so bland it’s driving me crazy.”

Tang Sanzang, wearing a half-draped cassock and toying with a skull vajra pestle in his hand, spoke with a smile.
