"Elder Xu, do you like this place?" The female apprentice sensed Xu Que's emotion and asked curiously.
"Yes, I like this place very much!" Xu Que nodded his head.
The female apprentice smiled for she could understand Xu Que's mood. After all, this peach tree garden was the forbidden area of the Jade Lake for hundreds of thousands of years before it was abandoned. Even though these peach trees were no longer as magnificent as before, they were still the most beautiful scenery in the Jade Lake!
"My dear, can I sit here alone for a while? I like this place so much! It reminds me of the wonderful time when I walked hand in hand with my wife when I was young! "Xu Que asked the female apprentice with tears in his eyes.
"Of course, Elder Xu, I will wait outside. If you want to have a rest in your room, I will show you the way!" The female apprentice said with a smile, nodding her head.
She didn't need to worry that Xu Que would stray into another forbidden area. After all, there was only one entrance and exit to this peach garden. Moreover, this peach garden had been abandoned, and she didn't need to worry that this sickly old man would do anything to her.
"OK, thank you! You are really a good boy! Let's take a bath together when we have a chance!" Xu Que said with a kind smile.
"Elder Xu, you are welcome … Eh?" When the female apprentice was about to leave, she realized something was wrong with the second half of this old man's words.
Take a bath together?
What … is this shameless old man going to do?
"What? What's wrong? "Xu Que looked at the female apprentice with a puzzled expression at this time.
"Elder Xu, just now you said let's …" The female apprentice was stunned a bit. Did I mishear him just now? No way! I heard the word "take a bath" clearly!
"Oh, I just said that if we have a chance, we can watch the sunset together, because I have a Divine Fist of the Setting Sun, which I would like to teach you. However, this fist art can only be comprehended by the setting sun, so that you can learn it faster!" Xu Que said amiably again in a very gentle tone.
The woman nodded her head in realization. A trace of self-blame and guilt flashed through her heart. What a good old man! How could she frame him with dirty thoughts just now? It was obvious that she didn't pay attention. This was really too bad!
In the end, as he watched the girl leave with her head lowered, a gratified smile appeared on Xu Que's face. What a good girl!
Xu Que was the only one left in this peach tree garden.
The clear lake water, the glittering and translucent immortal peach trees, the pavilions, the corridors, and the old man. It was a beautiful scene with exquisite railings and jade-like walls!
Xu Que walked slowly toward the peach tree that Buttface had left a paw print on. He examined it carefully, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
The fact that Buttface had left a mark here meant there was something under the ground.
Xu Que had tried to explore with his Divine Sense just now, but he didn't find anything. However, when Xu Que opened the space between his eyebrows and Little Gold Clone merged with his Divine Sense, he could sense the surroundings more clearly.
He sensed a terrifying mass of Celestial Core Power at the bottom of the lake under the peach tree garden.
It wasn't terrifying, but it was an unimaginably terrifying energy. The density of the Celestial Core wasn't any weaker than the Golden Branch Jade Elixir.
It seems this mass of Celestial Core Power is not the problem of the soil, but the mass of Celestial Core Power under the peach tree. It has even absorbed the Celestial Core Power of the peach trees! Xu Que squinted his eyes for he had figured out the problem.
In his eyes, there were numerous strands of Celestial Core Power under the peach tree garden, which were sending Celestial Core Power to the mass of light at the bottom of the lake. The mass of light also sent a strand of Celestial Core Power back to the peach tree. However, compared to the amount of Celestial Core Power it had absorbed, it was far from enough to keep the peach trees alive.
Thus, according to the female disciple, Saint Mother Yao Chi used numerous precious treasures to barely save these Immortality Peach Trees, but it was merely a temporary solution. At most, she could slow down these Immortality Peach Trees' withering process.
"Heh, heh, the Act-Tough Saint is the one who needs the Living Holy Water!" Xu Que smiled as he took out a small jade bottle from the System's storage, which contained the Living Holy Water.
When he was in the South Continent's Mystery Land, Xu Que had used up all the Living Holy Water, and he had never used it up. However, this water was extremely precious. It was not only loved by Equipment Craftsmen, but also coveted by Alchemists.
It could be used not only to refine equipment, but also to refine elixirs. Its most basic function was to promote the growth of all kinds of elixirs.
Now, these peach trees were only provided with Celestial Core Power by precious resources, but they didn't provide them with vitality.
It was like a doctor who gave a patient a blood transfusion, but didn't remove the disease in his body. No matter how much blood was transfused, the patient would die sooner or later.
Patter!
Xu Que opened the jade bottle and poured all the Living Holy Water onto one of the peach trees.
The next moment, the peach tree trembled abruptly and emitted a powerful vitality. Ripples appeared on the surface of the lake with the tree as the center.
Xu Que put his palms together and made several magic seals. A strand of powerful Water Element Celestial Core Power was gathered in his palms. Then, he pressed his palms toward the surface of the lake.
Boom!
The lake water around the peach tree, which had been watered by the Living Holy Water, retreated instantly. Xu Que could see the Living Holy Water was flowing wildly in the peach tree and nourishing it. Then, a large amount of Celestial Core Power also flowed along the roots and into the mud.
Bang!
At this time, Xu Que pressed his palms into the mud again. At the same time, he changed his Water Element Celestial Core Power into Earth Element Celestial Core Power. A strand of Heaven and Earth Qi, driven by the Celestial Core Power of the peach tree, went all the way down.
In a few seconds, Xu Que's eyes lit up. "I've got you!"
He clenched his palms that were in the mud. A strand of Heaven and Earth Element Celestial Core Power in the depths of the ground instantly turned into a big hand, which grabbed the horrible light ball.
Boom!
Xu Que quickly pulled his hand out of the mud, and the mud splashed out. Then, a hole was formed in the mud. What came out of the hole was a ball of light bound by the Earth Element Celestial Core Power!
As soon as this light ball, which had been hidden at the bottom of the lake for many years, appeared in the air, the whole area was filled with light. The light spread in all directions. The whole peach garden was filled with rich Celestial Core Power. Then, a refreshing fragrance filled the air!
Whoosh!
Seeing this, Xu Que didn't have time to figure out what this light ball was. He waved his hand and threw the light ball into the System's storage space to isolate its aura.
"Elder Xu, what's wrong?"
The next moment, as soon as the light ball was hidden, a figure ran in hurriedly. It was the female apprentice who had just left.
She was shocked. She had sensed a horrible Celestial Core Power outside just now, so she rushed back immediately. She was afraid that Xu Que had done something earth-shattering in the peach garden.
However, when she came back, everything had calmed down. The Celestial Core Power in the peach garden was only a little more intense than before. Apparently, it was not as horrible as what she had sensed outside.
"What? It's okay. I'm old and my eyesight is not good. I just wanted to take a closer look at this peach tree. OK, I've finished looking at it. It's time for me to go back to my room to rest! "Xu Que said with a faint smile. Then, he walked slowly to the shore of the lake with the help of his walking stick.
The female apprentice didn't doubt him. She nodded her head slightly. Before leaving, she glanced at the peach garden curiously. She was wondering why the Celestial Core Power and Spiritual Qi in the peach garden was a little more intense than before. Also, where did that fleeting Celestial Core Power come from?
While the female apprentice was full of doubts, she escorted Xu Que and Xu Que back to his room smoothly.
After closing the door, Xu Que opened the System's storage space immediately.
Although he had decided not to cheat the people of the Jade Lake, he would be a fool if he didn't take the opportunity and Kismet. That light ball was obviously an extraordinary item.
However, when he fixed his eyes on the box in the System's storage space, he was dumbfounded.
"This is …"
