In the space at the end of the cave!
When Yu Haoran saw that Qin Thirteen's spear had pierced the seven-tailed white fox's chest, he realized that it was only heavily injured and not truly dead. Things weren't looking good for it.
He immediately flashed to Qin Thirteen's side and warned him in a seemingly friendly manner.
"Thirteen, the Seven-Tailed Arctic Fox is sinister and cunning. It has many tricks up its sleeve. To prevent any accidents, you'd better destroy its soul."
In truth, he was worried that a living Seven-Tailed Arctic Fox might expose the secret of the Soul Severing Banner and cause unnecessary trouble.
"Thank you, Holy Son-In-Law!"
Qin Thirteen immediately nodded and shook his spear, extinguishing the Seven-Tailed Arctic Fox's life force and soul. Even with his superior mental state and special training in the art of seduction, he had almost fallen into the Seven-Tailed Arctic Fox's trap.
Yu Haoran was stunned when he saw Qin Thirteen obediently listen to his suggestion and kill the Seven-Tailed Arctic Fox without hesitation.
"Yu Haoran, although Qin Thirteen isn't affected by the pink smoke, it doesn't mean he isn't affected."
Fortunately, the Pagoda Spirit in his sea of consciousness explained in time.
"At this moment, he's both affected by his own instincts and the Seven-Tailed Arctic Fox.
If you don't believe me, you can ask him directly if he's interested in the immortality peach. "
Yu Haoran was very tempted by Thaling's suggestion, but when he saw Qin Thirteen take out a small and exquisite bell from his sleeve and contact Qin Yi, he suppressed the urge to ask for the time being.
After receiving Qin Yi's instructions through the bell, Qin Thirteen cupped his fists and took his leave.
"Holy Son-In-Law, since the culprit who abducted Great General Gu Yue has been killed, this subordinate must return to Xianyang City immediately!"
"Thirteen, do you know what this is?" Yu Haoran asked nervously as he pointed at the bowl-sized immortality peach in front of him.
"This subordinate doesn't know and doesn't want to know!" Qin Thirteen immediately replied without looking closely at the peach hanging on the branch.
"In that case, you should return to Xianyang City as soon as possible!"
Qin Thirteen's response confirmed Thaling's explanation. Yu Haoran inwardly sighed in relief and motioned for Qin Thirteen to leave.
A peach tree could bear twelve peaches of immortality. Even if he was given one or two peaches of immortality, Yu Haoran would not have any objections.
However, according to Thaling, the peach tree at the end of the cave was very likely to be related to the Demon Monarch of the Monkey Clan in the Near Ancient Times, as well as the expert who could revive the peach tree.
Even though the Demon Emperor of the Monkey race and that powerful being had long turned into ashes, they had left behind some means that could still affect the current state of things.
It was just like the Monkey Emperor's life-bound Emperor artifact, [As I Wish].
Therefore, the fewer people who knew about this kind of secret, the better.
Given Qin Thirteen's special identity, there was no way he could keep the immortality peach tree a secret.
Left with no other choice, Yu Haoran used the seven-tailed fox's secret art to send Qin Thirteen out of the waterfall cave. Thaling had also used a special art to make Qin Thirteen forget all about the immortality peach tree.
Since the seven-tailed fox's soul had been destroyed, it could be considered a dead object that could be stored in a storage space.
Therefore, Qin Thirteen put the fox's corpse into his storage ring, then turned and left the cave and the waterfall.
After Qin Thirteen left, Yu Haoran walked to the foot of the immortality peach tree. Looking at one of the dangling peaches, Yu Haoran was overjoyed. He stood on tiptoe, intending to pluck one for a taste.
However, as soon as his fingers touched the peach, a numbing sensation that numbed even his soul caused him to stumble back several meters.
"Thaling, why didn't you warn me beforehand?!" Yu Haoran grumbled in exasperation as he circulated his soul force and elemental energy to eliminate the numbing sensation.
"This is to teach you a lesson. You need to think twice before you do anything."
In the face of Yu Haoran's exasperated complaints, the Tower Spirit first warned him before solemnly reminding him.
"Yu Haoran, the seven-tailed fox entered this space half an hour before we did.
Why hasn't it plucked any immortality peaches in such a long time? Haven't you thought about it carefully? "
"Thaling, I'm sorry. I'll be more careful in the future."
After hearing the Tower Genie's reminder, Yu Haoran knew that he had made a mistake and quickly apologized to the Tower Genie.
"Yu Haoran, as a pill master with profound cultivation, you should know that the more precious a spirit herb is, the more likely it is for a spirit beast to appear to protect it."
"As an immortal tree that can directly raise one's cultivation, how can an immortal peach tree not have some means to protect itself?"
"Thaling, what's the origin of the energy that made my soul feel numb?" Yu Haoran hurriedly asked.
"That's a layer of defensive energy formed when the Immortality Peach Tree absorbed the power of lightning in the world as it grew. It's equivalent to a guardian spirit beast protecting it."
"What about its power?"
There were strong and weak lightning powers. Yu Haoran needed to determine the strength of the lightning to decide whether he should pluck the immortality peaches himself or let Thaling do it.
"Yu Haoran, even the rank four seven-tailed fox couldn't pluck the immortality peaches. What do you think about its power?" Thaling couldn't help but sneer when he saw that Yu Haoran still hadn't discovered anything special about the Immortality Peach Tree through the various actions of the seven-tailed fox.
After hearing Thaling's sneer, Yu Haoran knew that his state of mind had been completely messed up by the immortality peaches.
Therefore, he took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down. Then, he signaled to Thaling.
"Thaling, do it!"
Thaling nodded satisfactorily when he saw that Yu Haoran had finally realized his problem.
Then, he left Yu Haoran's mind and appeared in front of the Immortality Peach Tree.
Thaling quickly made a seal with his ten fingers and used the circular seal to trap the immortality peaches. Then, one by one, the immortality peaches were sucked into the Víctor by Thaling.
"Yu Haoran, the power of lightning on the immortality peaches will dissipate in about three days."
"At that time, use two or three immortality peaches and see if you can raise your cultivation and physical body to the Complete Tenth Grade Martial King Realm."
"In this way, it'll be easier for you to enter the Mystery Realm and take risks," Thaling suggested after sucking the 12 immortality peaches into the Víctor.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Yu Haoran nodded and agreed with Thaling's suggestion. Then, he looked at the withering Immortality Peach Tree.
"Yu Haoran, don't worry. After 100 years, the Immortality Peach Tree will grow new shoots and then start a new cycle of growth, blooming, bearing fruit, and withering." Seeing that Yu Haoran was looking at the withering Immortality Peach Tree, Thaling thought that Yu Haoran was worried about the Immortality Peach Tree and quickly comforted him.
