Yan Hong was a little confused when he saw what was in the box.

Although he has been in the market for many years and is well-informed, he rarely has the chance to see the real good stuff given his level of skill.

For a moment, I didn't know how much this thing was worth or what it was used for.

But the pupils of several other monks who were also staying in the Manjianghong Inn shrank.

Someone took out a communication stone and was about to pass on the message. Someone rushed forward and grabbed Yan Hong and tried to flee.

But the kind-looking old Taoist just swept the whisk in his hand, and after a flash of light, the inn returned to peace.

In recent times, there have been several cases where the perception of spiritual roots suddenly disappeared.

The Nine Netherwood seed cultivator is one of Jiang Li’s biggest secrets.

This strange situation naturally attracted his attention.

However, Jiuyou's clone's ability to sense the spirit root seed is limited to direction and strength.

It is not possible to locate a specific location very accurately, nor is it possible to directly communicate mentally over a long distance.

It was even difficult for Jiang Li to identify what had gone wrong at the first sight.

He used the communication spirit stone to ask at each stronghold, but the response was that there was no problem.

We have already arranged for Wanshi Yingxiu to investigate, but there is no result yet.

He could only guess that perhaps some casualties occurred while capturing the humanoid creatures.

. . . .

During the time when Jiang Li was in seclusion, an invitation letter with peach blossoms enclosed caused a stir in the Eastern Region's immortal cultivation world.

Each exquisite invitation was distributed by a special person to many sects in the Eastern Region, and even to those famous and powerful cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation.

It is said that the Taolin Mu family's nine-year grand birthday peach banquet is being prepared.

The Mu family's ten-mile peach forest blooms once every three years, bears fruit once every three years, and matures once every three years.

Each of the longevity peaches has the function of healing wounds and diseases, prolonging life, increasing cultivation, and improving qualifications.

Although not as good as the ones they had sold at the auction before, they were indeed common and rare top-grade spiritual fruits.

And an invitation card at least represents a nine-year longevity peach.

If it were just this, the banquet wouldn't have caused such a stir.

For the sect forces, a nine-year-old longevity peach is nothing.

But in addition to these, there were 1,200 unsigned peach blossom invitations that were deliberately spread among the group of casual cultivators.

If you get an invitation, you can not only get a longevity peach for free to increase your lifespan by nine years, but also greatly increase your cultivation.

If you can perform well and win first place in the birthday peach party, you will have a chance to get a higher quality birthday peach, or be noticed by the Mu family and change your destiny.

Independent cultivators like to join in the fun, and this kind of opportunity is an irresistible temptation for most of them.

Just think about the price of longevity peaches at the auction and you will know how much the Mu family has invested.

This kind of good thing would definitely be tightly held in the hands of most forces.

But the Taolin Mu family is different. They hold such a meeting every nine years.

This is also an important reason why they have been able to gain a foothold in the Eastern Region for many years and thrive.

The stronger the cultivator, the harder it is for him to have offspring. For example, with just the direct and collateral descendants of the Mu family, how many offspring can they produce, even if they are very fertile?

A large part of the reason they are able to have the power they have today is because of their vassals and in-laws.

Except for those old and famous monks who have exhausted their lifespans and come to them for help.

They also hold such a conference every nine years to gather some young talents in the world of immortal cultivation.

At the same time, you can also establish good relationships with some other sects that you are not so familiar with.

It goes without saying that the big sects have it all, but for the independent cultivators, the first hurdle is to get a peach blossom invitation.

Of course, although Chongshan League has not yet made much of a name for itself, it has accumulated a considerable number of merits to a staggering 810,000 within just a few months of its arrival.

This is already a very advanced level among the many forces that have not yet joined the Temple of the Gods, and is definitely a potential stock.

It is natural to send an extra peach blossom invitation to such a force.

As the leader of the alliance, the invitation changed hands several times and finally landed in his hands.

Jiang Li didn't want to go at first. After all, his skills were incompatible with those of the Taolin Mu family, and there might be some conflicts.

It was just the peach blossom sandwiched between the invitation cards that aroused his interest.

Different from the mahogany warship of that year.

This smell, this scent, is definitely not from an ordinary peach tree spirit.

Handing this peach blossom to Jiuyou's clone, he felt it even more clearly than Jiang Li.

That is the smell of mortal enemy and prey.

The ancestor of the Mu family was so keen on hunting down the Nine Nether Wood.

Jiang Li didn't believe that it was just pure hatred.

The other party must be able to gain some amazing benefits from the heart of the Nine Nether Wood to act this way.

The same is true in reverse.

As a branch of the Nine Netherwood's spiritual root, he is at the top of the food chain no matter what.

Even if they are mortal enemies, they should hunt each other.

Now, half of the chaotic power of the Asura world has been mixed into Jiang Li's golden elixir, and the aura characteristics of the Nine Netherworld Taoist technique have been completely changed.

Even Jiuyou's clone could not distinguish the aura of Jiang Li's martial arts, let alone others.

In this way, Jiang Li gained the advantage of being in the dark while the enemy was in the light.

At this time, Jiang Li took the opportunity to go to Taolin Mu's house. He really wanted to see who the ancestor of the Mu family was.

Jiang Li could only leave a piece of the Nine Nether Wood World in the coffin and use his mind to control it to continue strangling the monster.

He temporarily came out of the coffin, got on the flying boat, and headed towards the pink peach forest.

. . . .

In a dark swamp.

The foul-smelling purple poisonous fog filled the air. There had just been a brutal melee here, with hundreds of bleeding corpses lying in the mud, attracting a large number of scavenging crocodiles and a large number of greedy crows to share the feast.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the pile of corpses, holding a new and white peach blossom invitation card in his hand.

In a bloody arena.

On the blood-stained field, the screaming slave fighters fought each other with bare hands regardless of everything.

Every punch hits the flesh and every move is deadly. All the fighters here have mastered the skills of killing.

Finally, all the enemies fell, and a sturdy young man with a bloody face and a resolute expression stood to the end... and won an invitation for his master.

Inside a dark casino.

After being labeled with talismans that sealed their spiritual energy, a group of monks pounced on the gambling table with red faces, staring at the only invitation left for the winner on the table.

They risk their wealth and future in the hope of finding the ultimate lucky winner.

In a flower shop boat with red lights hanging all over it.

The place was peaceful and prosperous with singing and dancing. A group of gentlemen dressed as scholars spent a fortune and composed poems for the top courtesan in the flower shop.

Finally, a handsome young man stood out among all the patrons and won the heart of the most beautiful girl to spend a night with her.

After a night of dew, the courtesan disappeared, leaving only an invitation with the scent of peach blossoms on the pillow.

In the Eastern Region, 1,200 anonymous invitations were distributed in various ways.

Ten days later, Jiang Li stood on the deck of Chongshan League's flying boat, gazing at a gorgeous pink glow in the distance.

The Taolin Mu family has a very good geographical location. It is a place where the earth veins are rich and spiritual energy gathers. The climate is warm and humid, and it is like spring all year round.

It is said that the peach blossoms here never fade and always look like this.

It is said to be a ten-mile peach forest, but this patch of peach blossoms stretches for at least a hundred miles.

It’s just that the ten miles in the center are full of precious longevity peaches, so it’s still called the Ten-Li Peach Forest.

"Alliance Leader Jiang, Qiu Hua, the Mu family is ahead."

Standing next to Jiang Li were Elder Mu of Shushan and Qiu Hua of Shenshan.

As members of the Mu family, they also received two invitations.

Although they didn't know Elder Mu's past experiences, judging from the performance of Mu Chunyang and Mu Chunkong before, their attitude could be considered respectful.

There is still some affection between Elder Mu and the family.

After all, she is the biological sister of the Mu family. How much more can they break off the relationship? Since the host family invited them, and Mu Chunkong had made some efforts in finding Shenshan Qiuhua before, they couldn't refuse. So they simply accompanied Jiang Li.

The flying boat landed in a large manor on the outskirts. Rows of magnificent ships were already docked in the airport.

Even if all the flying boats in the Dachongshan Immortal Cultivation World were added together, they might not be able to reach this number.

With the Mu family's connections, coming here is just a free feast of spiritual fruits, and there are very few forces that would not give them face.

The three of them got off the boat, and there were already quite a few sect forces below.

Sitting in the picturesque Peach Forest Manor, many representatives of sects and forces sat under the peach trees, and they could also take this opportunity to conduct a popular py transaction.

"It's been a long time. I haven't been back."

Elder Mu felt a little emotional when he returned to his hometown.

"This place is similar to our courtyard."

Shenshan Qiuhua was also a little surprised. The yard where she grew up was full of peach blossoms, just like here.

"There seems to be something there."

After looking at the peach forest around him, Shenshan Qiuhua suddenly covered his head and looked into the depths of the peach forest with a confused look.

Ever since he awakened some special abilities last time, Shenshan Qiuhua could always sense something from time to time.

It was because of this ability that she was able to feel the resentment of hundreds of children on the flying boat flying high in the sky.

In this ten-mile peach forest, Shenshan Qiuhua obviously felt something special again.

But her mother, Elder Mu, was somewhat secretive about Qiu Hua's awakened talent and was unwilling to explain it in detail, so that they still don't know the specific function of this talent.

However, Shenshan Qiuhua's original high-grade spiritual root with dual attributes of water and fire turned into a dual-attribute top-grade spiritual root after awakening.

A side effect can have such miraculous effects, which shows that this ability is not ordinary.

"Alliance Leader Jiang, long time no see. How are you these days?"

A voice came from not far away.

Jiang Li looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who greeted him was one of their few partners in the Eastern Region, Shopkeeper Jiang from Yaowangxuan.

"Manager Jiang, long time no see."

In the cooperative transaction of medicines produced in the secret realm of the Misty Mountains Medicine Garden, the cooperation between the two parties was very pleasant and some friendships were established.

Yao Wangxuan's merit amount had already reached more than 900,000, and as it was a production-type sect that could refine medicine, it was natural that it also received the invitation from the Mu family.

In such an occasion where all the sects gather together, if they can have one or two acquaintances to talk to, it won't make them feel too embarrassed.

They found a stone table under a peach tree, and several people sat around it to taste the Mu family's unique peach blossom wine together.

Soon, there was some commotion ahead of them.

Many representatives of various forces stood up or walked out of the villas, standing on both sides of the avenue in the forest to watch.

"Master Chunhao!"

"I've long heard of the name of the genius of the eldest son of the Mu family, Chun Hao. Now I see that he is indeed extraordinary!"

"That's right, that's right. If we talk about the younger generation of immortal cultivators in the Eastern Region, Master Chunhao is the best!"

Listening to the compliments coming one after another from the front, you can tell that the person coming is of high status.

"Alliance Leader Jiang, the person coming is Mu Chunhao, the eldest son of the Mu family."

"It is said that this boy is highly regarded in the clan. He is only in his early forties, but his cultivation has already reached the Nascent Soul stage."

"I don't know how many old guys would be ashamed of this level of cultivation."

Shopkeeper Jiang knew that Jiang Li knew very little about the Eastern Region, and was actively explaining it to him.

The age of a monk cannot be measured by ordinary people's standards.

An ordinary Jindan cultivator can live for 500 years if he is healthy and free from disasters, not to mention the Yuanying cultivators who can establish their own sects in many places.

At only 40 years old, she is indeed ridiculously young.

As they were talking, they realized something was wrong.

Looking at the direction where the crowd was splitting, why did Mu Chunhao look like he was coming towards them?

Sure enough, after a few breaths, a tall young man stood in front of Jiang Li and others.

"Chunhao has met his aunt."

Mu Chunhao stepped forward to greet him gently, which caused the surrounding group of sect monks to be surprised.

Unexpectedly, there was someone from the Mu family with a high status here.

Mu Chunhao's aunt must be the sister of the current head of the Mu family.

That identity would be incredible.

Everyone was secretly thinking about the relationship and situation between Elder Mu and the Mu family. Mu Chunhao then turned his attention to Shenshan Qiuhua.

"This must be my cousin Qiu Hua. This is the first time we meet, and this is my gift to you."

He actually used the same tactic that Jiang Li used back then, giving gifts right at the start.

It was a pure wooden hairpin. As soon as he took it out, everyone could feel the rich vitality and surging spiritual energy hidden in it.

Obviously, this is a magic jewelry of high grade.

"Miss Qiu Hua, please accept it quickly. This is the Canxia hairpin that Master Chunkong made for you using the precious wood bestowed by the ancestor. It is very precious."

A maid behind Mu Chunhao spoke up and began to flatter her master, but it was clear that she was treating them as country folk.

It was just a mysterious magic weapon, nothing more than that, Jiang Li didn't think much of it now. How could the little princess of the Shenshan family of the Five Elements Peak of Shushan lack such a thing?

If someone wants to show off his wealth, Jiang Li would be impressed if he could just give away an earth-level magic weapon.

Otherwise, why would you come here and act like a big shot?

"No merit, no reward. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Mu."

Shenshan Qiuhua directly refused, then took two steps back and stood behind Jiang Li.

What cousins? Sorry, I don’t recognize them at all.

At this time, Mu Chunhao seemed to finally notice Jiang Li standing beside him. He looked at him and said nothing.

"Cousin Qiu Hua is shy, so let your aunt take the hairpin for you."

"Also, Aunt, you have been away from home for a long time. Father misses you very much. Please come in and have a chat."
