“Where is that land?”
Xu Que looked at Bai Cailing expectantly.
If he could find the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines’ farmland, then everything would become simpler.
Bai Cailing hesitated for a moment before she spoke, “Elder Xu, do you still remember Yi Dan? While he was training in a Mystery Land, he got the news of Yi Zhong’s death, and he rushed toward the ancient battlefield. At the end of this encounter, several guardians apologized to you and took out 200 Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines. At the time, I found this matter quite strange, and I wondered why they had brought with them such a large number of Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines. This is why…”
Bai Cailing hadn’t finished her speech, when Xu Que’s eyes lit up suddenly and he said, “This is why the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines’ farmland must be in the Mystery Land where Yi Dan trained?”
“That is right,” Bai Cailing nodded. Even though this was just her unverified guess, she still felt like it was likely that it was correct.
“Where is the Mystery Land?” Xu Que promptly asked.
Bai Cailing took out a jade slip and handed it over to Xu Que. “Elder Xu, this is a map of the Tianxiang Celestial Realm. More than 10,000 Mystery Lands are recorded on it, and I have already marked the Mystery Land where Yi Dan was. It just happens that it is south of the ancient battlefield, adjacent to the Taiyin Celestial Realm.”
“That’s pretty great!” Xu Que received the jade slip, while delight welled up in his heart.
Once he got a large amount of the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines, the number of times the two souls could attack would get much higher, and he would be able to gather Acting Tough Points faster. When the moment came for the System to reach the next level, his comprehensive powers would get a great promotion.
“According to my understanding of that Mystery Land, it is enormous, and it isn’t just the Divine Farmer Clan members who enter it. If they planted the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines there, then it was surely in a hidden region. I will go there with you as I may be able to provide you some help,” Bai Cailing said.
“My good daughter-in-law…” Xu Que revealed a benevolent smile at Bai Cailing once again.
The smile plastered on Bai Cailing’s face masked her body’s shuddering.
“Ha, ha, ha, this is delightful. Kiddo, when shall we head off? My machete is thirsty,” b.u.t.tface shouted excitedly.
What b.u.t.tface loved the most was shady matters like robberies.
“He, he, do you still have to ask? We will obviously…” Xu Que squinted his eyes, smiled, and spoke.
Bai Cailing quickly interrupted him and said, “Elder Xu, I still have to ask for your help with something.”
Xu Que was taken aback, and he said with a smile, “Huh? My daughter-in-law, you don’t have to be so polite, we are a family. Go ahead and ask whatever you want. Even if you want to give birth to a child, I still won’t refuse you.”
“Elder Xu, I wonder whether you can help us treat the peach garden before setting out on the trip?” Bai Cailing asked.
“Treating the peach garden?”
It was only at this moment that Xu Que recalled this matter. He recalled that he hadn’t done what he had promised the Jade Lake that he would do.
“Oh! Of course. You can set your mind at ease, and just let me deal with this trivial matter. I will promptly go to take care of it,” Xu Que rea.s.sured her.
Xu Que had previously used the Living Holy Water to help a peach tree recover, but most of the nutrients of the Living Holy Water had been absorbed by the Nine-Reincarnation Peach that was under the ground.
When Xu Que dug out the Nine-Reincarnation Peach, he had already rescued the peach garden. As long as the garden was supplied with a large amount of spiritual Qi, it would quickly recover.
This was why this was a trivial matter, and, even if Xu Que didn’t undertake this task, once the Jade Lake members realized this, they could supply the peach garden with enough spiritual Qi, and it would recover. After all, the trouble source had been the Nine-Reincarnation Peach, and it had already been taken away by Xu Que.
“Elder Xu, many thanks,” Bai Cailing was overjoyed, and she expressed her thanks.
“You don’t have to thank me. After all, I already promised you to do it. By the way, don’t forget the old rules. People aren’t allowed to approach the garden while I carry out this task.” Xu Que waved his hand at Bai Cailing and leaned on his walking stick as he proceeded slowly toward the garden.
b.u.t.tface also broke into a run and went toward the garden.
Bai Cailing quickly spoke, “Little friend b.u.t.tface, Elder Xu has stated that people shouldn’t approach that place, you…”
“I’m not a person,” b.u.t.tface replied, without turning his head back.
Bai Cailing opened her mouth. She was left at a loss for words and didn’t know how she should reply.
At this moment, Xu Que turned around and said with a smile, “They should all follow me, as I need some help.”
“Okay! Elder Xu, if you need any other help, just go ahead and inform me,” Bai Cailing replied respectfully, as she watched Xu Que’s group proceed toward the peach garden.
She stood in place calmly, while delight and excitement welled up in her heart.
The Jade Lake Holy Land had gone downhill for innumerable years, and, for an unknown time, the amount and quality of the peaches harvested had only been becoming worse, which caused the Jade Lake Holy Land to lose its ruling position that it had had at its peak. It had now declined until it was one of the Celestial Realms’ 14 weakest factions.
But now, Bai Cailing saw a glimmer of hope.
Once the peach garden recovered, the Jade Lake Holy Land’s rise would be imminent.
Bai Cailing was this generation’s saint, and she would become a Holy Mother in the future. She was confident that she would be able to bring the Jade Lake Holy Land into glory again.
“One day, my Jade Lake will take back everything it has lost, no matter whether it is glory or status,” Bai Cailing muttered in a soft voice that expressed her great resolution.
….
Meanwhile, something was happening in the peach garden.
Xu Que’s group entered here, while all the disciples withdrew and left them in a peaceful s.p.a.ce.
After all, the Jade Lake’s numerous disciples had already heard that the way Elder Xu treated the peach garden was through sleeping with the peach trees. It was enough for him to sleep here!
This was why everyone left because they were afraid of disturbing Elder Xu’s sleep, which would affect the peach garden’s recovery.
“F*ck! Kiddo, did you already take away that thing?” When b.u.t.tface entered the garden, he looked at the pond, before he glared at Xu Que and spoke.
“I depended upon my power to get hold of it,” Xu Que spoke uprightly.
In the past, Xu Que had managed to discover the secret hidden in the pond’s bed because he discovered an imprint left by b.u.t.tface on a peach tree, and, in the end, he managed to get the Nine-Reincarnation Peach. Since b.u.t.tface entered here so spiritedly, it was obvious that he had come here for the Nine-Reincarnation Peach.
“F*ck! I have missed another treasure.” b.u.t.tface beat his chest and stamped his feet. He seemed quite vexed and annoyed!
Xu Que chuckled complacently without paying much heed to this fool. It would be a waste to give a treasure such as the Nine-Reincarnation Peach to b.u.t.tface. This was why he would leave it for himself for when he would need it, while he also kept it as a precaution against the Chaotic Green Lotus’s next growth spurt.
“Little brat!” At this moment, Liu Jingning looked suddenly at Xu Que and spoke in a soft voice. She wore a grave look!
It seemed as if she had worn this expression since she had entered the peach garden.
“What’s up? Little Demoness, who has angered you?” Xu Que was taken aback. Liu Jingning seldom revealed such a serious look, and this was why he revealed a faint smile and questioned her.
“It’s Saint Bai…”
Liu Jingning hesitated for a moment and spoke, “She’s anything but simple. So, if you really have feelings for her, you must be careful. I’m quite skeptical and vigilant of her.”
