Chapter 202: The time for the Qingxin peach to mature passes day by day.
Time goes by day by day.
In the blink of an eye, four years have passed.
The fragrant peach tree named by Ye Lu was successfully raised and planted three years ago. It has now grown into almost half a grown sapling.
Ye Lu and the Ghost Scholar had a premonition when they saw the sapling. They thought they had succeeded.
The ghost scholar sighed: "It's just as the Taoist said, this tree grows very slowly." Even though it is an ordinary strange plant, this peach tree has a maturity period of nearly three years, which is much better than the silver peach or even the clear peach.
To some extent, the maturity period of a plant can represent its potential. Otherwise, the stronger the plant, the longer the fruit maturity period will be.
The Ghost Scholar didn't know much about the strange beasts, but according to the Colorful Caravan, the higher the level of the strange beasts, the longer it takes them to mature, and the more spiritual they might be. It is also much more difficult to obtain strange food than strange plants.
"It would be great if this peach tree was a strange plant." From this we can see the potential of the peach. It takes such a long time for ordinary plants to mature. It is hard to imagine what would happen if it was a strange plant.
"Let it be." Ye Lu was much more satisfied. Although they didn't get the strange plant, didn't they get a parent tree of very good quality? The value was almost the same as the strange plant. Sometimes the parent tree was much harder to find than the strange plant.
Yes.
When the fragrant peach tree grew into a sapling, almost anyone with eyes could see that it was a new species of tree. At first glance, it looked a bit like a silver peach tree, but the plant was much stronger and taller than the silver peach tree. There was a faint silver frost on the edges of the leaves, which was a unique characteristic of the silver peach tree.
Ye Lu and the ghost scholar went up the mountain to take a look at the incense tree as usual. After that, they prepared to go their separate ways. Before leaving, the ghost scholar asked, "Where are you going next, Taoist?"
Ye Lu touched his chin and said, "Let's go find Qingxin Peach later?"
Qing Xin Tao's spirit was still very timid. Ye Lu didn't dare to bring the Ghost Scholar to see it at first, let alone Xi Ming Ren. Ye Lu was afraid that Qing Xin Tao would faint when she saw these two people. Fortunately, Xi Ming Ren and the Ghost Scholar had known Qing Xin Tao before. Qing Xin Tao was just timid, and they were still close in her heart.
The timidity gradually subsided.
Such a long time has passed, and the only three people Qing Xintao is willing to see now are the three Ye Lu brothers. No matter who else approaches, her spiritual consciousness is still unwilling to appear.
"Master Taoist, the Qingxin peaches are almost ripe, right?" The ghost scholar thought along the lines of Ye Lu's words, and soon remembered that the last time he went to see the Qingxin peaches, the plants were still weak, but there were still peaches slightly red under the branches and leaves. Calculating the time, it was almost the five years estimated by Master Taoist.
"We still need the last bit of Wood Ancestor's power."
Ye Lu estimated for a moment and said, "I think there is only half a year left."
Ye Lu was originally planning to use his Wood Ancestor's power only on the fragrant peach tree. Later, he found that the Wood Ancestor's power was really useful on the green peach. He couldn't help but wonder if he used the Wood Ancestor's power on the pure heart peach. Would it also produce some changes? Ye Lu was looking forward to it.
Fortunately, Qing Xintao had just taken it over at that time, and Ye Lu still had time. He communicated with Qingsong to confirm that there was no danger and that the power of Wood Ancestor would not have any negative effects on spiritual plants. He also got Qing Xintao's permission and began to use the power of Wood Ancestor on the strange plant.
The frequency is once a year. It has been used four times and this is the last time. When Ye Lu inputs the power of Wood Ancestor into it for the last time, it will prove that the Qingxin Peach is officially mature.
Qingsong estimated at that time that Qingxin Peach should have undergone significant changes after being exposed to the power of Wood Ancestor. In the process of using his talent, Ye Lu also vaguely sensed that there were some differences. Qingxin Peach was changing for the better.
"That means it's almost ripe." The ghost scholar was very sure. He thought of the Qingxin peach. He never knew its specific function as food. The Taoist never asked him. He might as well take this opportunity to ask. He said curiously, "Why don't we go and take a look?"
Ye Lu had this intention originally. Ever since the Qingxin Peaches matured, he would go to the halfway point of Shuifu Mountain to take a look whenever he had time. The Ghost Scholar had been very busy at the foot of the mountain during this period. Now that the two brothers had free time, Ye Lu was more than happy to do so.
The two people just reached the halfway point of the mountain, and were somewhat surprised to see some weak Qingxin peach plants. There was a tall figure in front of them bending over to do something. The figure reacted very quickly and immediately discovered that there was someone behind him. He turned around without hesitation, revealing a very deep and handsome face with a frown. Ye Lu was very familiar with this face.
Is it the person who plays with life?
Playful people? Ye Lu and the ghost scholar immediately let down their guard when they saw him.
Xi Mingren was just about to go find his two brothers and was about to leave when he suddenly felt the weight in his hand was not right. Then he realized that he was just working and readily put down the strange flesh and blood in his hand. In fact, it was almost there, but he was just too idle to tear the strange flesh and blood into pieces and feed it to Qingxin Tao. When he put it down now, Qingxin Tao was so happy that she didn't have time to eat it immediately.
As soon as the strange flesh and blood fell to the ground and was covered with dust, there began to be rustling sounds underneath the ground, as if something was running around in the soil. The next second, white and tender tree roots appeared under the strange flesh and blood, sweeping up the strange flesh and blood and dragging it under the soil, making a creaking sound.
Disappeared in front of everyone the next second.
"Brother Lu?" Xi ordered the man to call for help after finishing all this, and then greeted him: "And Ghost Scholar, haven't you been busy with religious matters recently? How come you still have time to go to Shuifu Mountain?"
The ghost scholar gave a fake smile: "Who do you think I am busy with religious matters for?" The culprit who dared to spread the faith in his territory was the man in front of him. He even had the guts to pretend to be innocent in front of him. If it was someone else, he would have killed him long ago. Why would he allow him to jump around and run around with the kids every day?
"I'm not forcing them to believe in me. I just think it's interesting." The playful man didn't directly answer the ghost scholar's words. On the contrary, he spoke in a light tone, as if he didn't care at all.
The ghost scholar was too lazy to pay attention to him. From what he just said, it can be seen that the playful man is not completely ignorant of the situation in He Village at the foot of the mountain. He knows what the ghost scholar is busy with. He is really smart, but his brain circuits are different from those of normal people.
The ghost scholar knows what's wrong with the playboy. It's a waste of time to argue with him.
If Xi Mingren really didn't care, his answer should be "Who is it?" or "What does it have to do with me?" instead of really arguing with him about faith. This is Xi Mingren's real mistake. The current situation can only mean that after such a long time, Xi Mingren finally developed some feelings for Hecun, although these feelings are very slight.
"The Taoist priest and I came up here to see the Qingxin Peach?" The ghost scholar opened his mouth and explained the reason why the two of them came here.
The playful man shrugged and made way.
The next second, a small spiritual consciousness ran out from the roots of the tree. It was a little trembling when it first ran out, as if wondering why there were so many two-legged beasts around it. Then, it sensed the familiar breath of Ye Lu.
Qing Xintao was obviously much happier, and called out, "A Lu!"
As soon as he heard it, he knew it was this name. It was all Qingsong's fault. These strange plants that followed Qingsong started to cry out along with Qingsong over time.
Did Qing Xintao used to call him Lord?
Ye Lu rubbed his forehead and said nothing. He knew it was useless to refuse. Qing Xintao might listen to him seriously this time, but would return to her old ways next time she saw him. The same would be true for Huang Jinjue. Oh, he would occasionally call him cheap master, so it would be better to call him A Lu.
"Qingxin, how do you feel?" Ye Lu asked Qingxin Tao, without correcting her. Just let her scream, it won't cost her any meat anyway.
Qing Xintao said excitedly: "Very good, A Lu, are you going to transfer that very comfortable magic power to me?" When Qing Xintao saw Ye Lu coming, she realized something and spoke happily again.
"Yeah." Ye Lu responded and stretched out a hand to press on the medium-sized trunk of the Qingxin Peach tree. When his hand touched the rough bark, a green light emerged, carrying a gentle natural breath.
As soon as the green light appeared, Qingxin Peach naturally calmed down.
Everyone present was watching this scene quietly, especially the ghost scholar and the playful man. They both looked at the person in front of them without blinking. It was hard to imagine that the moment the green light appeared, they all noticed something different. It was a very special feeling.
The atmosphere was very quiet.
The green light completely disappeared, Ye Lu then slowly opened his eyes, and Qingxin Peach became active again.
"Finish it for the last time." Ye Lu withdrew his hand and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Qingxin, how are you now?" This time it was the ghost scholar's turn to ask. After confirming that Ye Lu was completely fine, he turned his head and looked at Qingxin Peach with relief. After all, Qingxin Peach was not a companion strange plant, and its spiritual awareness was even stronger than its peers. The ghost scholar could hear its words very clearly.
Qingxin Tao was suspended in the air, hesitating for a moment, and then said uncertainly: "My maturity period seems to be advanced?"
"ah?"
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
"Originally, A'Lu estimated that it would take another half a year. My estimate is that my fruits will be almost ripe when all the leaves around me fall." Qingxin Tao hesitated for a moment at first, and then quickly said affirmatively.
That is autumn, which is only three months away, almost shortening the time by half.
Ye Lu nodded. This was also within his expectations. Every time after the ancestral power was input, there would always be some changes in the Qingxin Peach. Although each change was not too big, it accumulated over time until the last ancestral power finally formed a qualitative change. Not to mention that Ye Lu and his team always cultivated the strange plants according to the methods in the medicine classics.
But he didn't expect that it was a change in the maturity cycle. He originally thought that the change was somewhere else.
Ye Lu frowned without leaving any trace. Could it be that he had used his innate power for the first time and had used it in the wrong way? Or was it that the power of the Wood Ancestor was only effective on seeds, but not on fruits or even strange plants that grew from them?
Ye Lu silently memorized this discovery in his mind. These were his experiences in using his talents, which could help him avoid many troubles in the future.
Just when Ye Lu was thinking about whether he should go back and discuss this with Qingsong, although Qingsong always said that he didn't quite understand the talent of the Son of Taishan, Ye Lu always believed in his companion plant, and Qingsong was very steady. When he was unsure, he would unconsciously ask Qingsong, and then he heard Qingxin Tao's voice of sudden enlightenment: "It seems there is another change."
"Speak more clearly?" Ye Lu raised his head suddenly.
"The effect of my fruit has changed." Qingxin Tao officially announced.
"Originally, I could only knock out a little of the darkness in the heart of this big biped." Qing Xintao pointed at the playful man next to her and said, "Now I can see it more clearly. Not only can I eliminate it, but I can also get back the good."
Xi Mingren didn't expect that Qing Xintao would point at him. He put away the dominoes without even raising his eyelids, looking lazy and indifferent.
"Anything else?" The effect was strengthened, Ye Lu was sure, and then he couldn't help but ask.
"Ah... this is something only you can understand clearly." Qingxin Tao moved up and down a few times and said softly that it was just a strange plant and not a two-legged beast.
Ye Lu already had a guess in his heart?
The Qingxin Peach is worthy of its name Qingxin. It can indeed stabilize people's state of mind and eliminate the imperfections in their state of mind. The key is that Ye Lu can be sure that the person who caused the tragedy has an imperfection in his state of mind. Currently, only he and the ghost scholar know that what the Qingxin Peach said is true, and now its effect is strengthened.
In all likelihood, there is still a chance of improvement and breakthrough.
After all, people in this world probably don't know the importance of state of mind to cultivation, nor do they attach much importance to it. Once the state of mind is perfect, a breakthrough will come naturally.
