The ancient immortal peach garden was located 10,000 miles west of the Divine Monkey Valley and was shrouded in a layer of white fog.
The entire peach garden occupied a huge area and was said to be 8000 miles wide. There were at least thousands of peach trees of various grades.
From the outside to the inside, the peach trees were divided into several layers according to their grades.
The outermost peach trees were spirit peaches and their grades were lower.
The deeper one went, the higher the grade of the peach trees. It was said that at the core, there were a total of 10 grade 5 and 6 immortal peach trees and a grade 7 immortal peach tree.
These peach trees didn't bloom and bear fruits once every year. As their grades increased, the time it took for them to bloom and bear fruits would gradually increase. As a grade 5 immortal peach tree, under normal circumstances, it needed 800 years to bloom and 800 years to bear fruits.
As for a grade 6 immortal peach tree, it needed twice the time.
If it was a grade 7 immortal peach tree, it needed even longer. It was said that it took 3,000 years for it to bloom and 3,000 years for it to bear fruits.
Why did the immortal peaches need so much time? Because under normal circumstances, for an immortal peach tree to bear fruits, it needed to absorb a lot of immortal energy. After all, a peach contained an immortal meridian.
Because of this, to support the immortal peach trees to bear fruits faster, Sengoku Hou Zhen requested the monkey cultivators under him to hunt down a group of human immortals who committed crimes and extract their immortal grotto-heavens to be thrown into the immortal peach garden as fertilizer.
With the immortal meridian and resources in the grotto-heavens, not only could the immortal peach trees grow faster, they could also save the time it took to bloom and bear fruits. This logic was like feeding ducks. If they didn't have enough energy, they wouldn't be able to lay an egg in three days. If they fed a large amount of fish and prawns, they might lay two eggs a day!
Qin Di followed Dong Zhongshu to the outside of the ancient immortal peach garden.
On the east and west sides of the peach garden, there was a market in the Ruins of Immortality.
The market here was different from other places. The owners of the shops were all monkey cultivators while the stalls on the streets were all human cultivators.
Qin Di walked on the street for a while and felt strange. He asked in a low voice, "Senior apprentice-brother Dong, why are the demon cultivators so dominant here?"
Dong Zhongshu explained, "Legend has it that a long time ago, it was Sengoku Hou Zhen who discovered this ancient immortal peach garden. At that time, the peach trees weren't of a high grade. Even the best one was only a second tier immortal peach. It was thanks to Sengoku and Hou Zhen's meticulous nurturing and constant supply of resources, as well as a large number of Heaven Immortal Grotto-heavens, that these peach trees rapidly improved. Because of this, the owner of this peach garden was Hou Sengoku. These markets in the Ruins of Immortality were all owned by the Monkey Clan. Human cultivators came later, so they are in a subordinate position. "
Looking at the endless stream of people on the street, Qin Di could not stop himself from sighing. "This is all thanks to Hou Sengoku's great power. That is how he managed to protect this Immortal Peach Garden and the nearby businesses. If it were any other ordinary Heavenly Immortal, they would have been snatched away long ago."
Dong Zhongshu went along with him and said with a smile, "Of course. To cultivators, the immortal peaches contain immortal meridians that can be rapidly absorbed and fused into the Grotto-heavens. Such a good thing is rare. Without sufficient power, how can one protect the peach trees?"
There were many shops on both sides of the street. The things they sold were not just monkey wine and low grade immortal peaches. There were also some other things such as immortal herbs, immortal pills, immortal weapons, immortal talismans, formation plates, cultivation technique jade slips, Heaven Immortal Grotto-heavens, etc.
Qin Di took out two third tier immortal swords that he forged and exchanged them for a pile of low grade immortal peaches and Diamond Fruits.
High grade immortal peaches were very rare. It was said that a batch would only appear every few hundred years. However, they would be bought out very quickly.
As he walked, he suddenly heard a commotion. There was also the sound of gongs and drums being beaten.
Qin Di raised his head and saw a large group of monkey demon cultivators walking toward him. They were escorting thirty to forty human Tian Senshu cultivators who were tied up. They were walking toward the end of the long street.
The one walking at the very front was a Zu Xian level demon cultivator. He held a pair of cymbals in his hands. As he walked, he knocked on them. At the same time, he shouted, "Humans and monkeys are equal and live in harmony. Deliberately killing humans is a heinous crime. He shall be punished according to the law. He shall be beheaded in public and his Grotto-heavens shall be seized to be used as fertilizer. "
Many people in the surroundings followed him.
"Quick, let's go and take a look!"
"Who are these people? How did they get caught? "
"I heard that Sengoku Hou Zhen came out of seclusion and casually walked around the surroundings. He used his nose to sniff and he could smell the Grotto-heavens left behind by the monkey immortal who died unjustly. Therefore, he ordered his subordinates to capture many people!"
"Ah? It's not easy for Sengoku to come out of seclusion. Why is he meddling in other people's business? "
"Look at what you're saying. How can this be called other people's business? If Hou Zhen doesn't show up, who dares to meddle in this matter? I heard that some galaxies have already broken the relationship between humans and demons. Therefore, the killing is very fierce! Racial discrimination is a big deal! If we turn a deaf ear to it, it will only get worse. In the vast Celestial World, there's no longer a peaceful table! It's precisely because Sengoku Hou Zhen often comes out to patrol every once in a while that we can ensure that the humans and demons in the Black Fire Monkey Galaxy can coexist in harmony. "
"Aiyo, I know that person inside!"
"Mm, I also see a familiar person. It's too tragic!"
The surrounding people pointed at them and discussed noisily. They kept talking.
Right at this moment, they suddenly heard a miserable scream from one of the people who was tied up. "I'm innocent! I didn't annihilate the monkey race! I'm an immortal genius with a bright future. Why would I kill the monkey race with my own hands? "
Qin Di focused his eyes and looked. The result gave him a shock. The person who screamed was actually the arrogant Guan Shaoshi from before!
When he saw him previously, he was high-spirited and very impressive. Now that he was a prisoner, his hair was disheveled and his face was dirty. He was like a different person from before.
"Eh? Why is Guan Shaoshi inside? He doesn't lack heavenly immortal grotto-heavens. Is there a need to hunt the monkey race cultivators? "
Dong Zhongshu sighed and said, "When Sengoku Hou Zhen goes out to patrol, as long as he finds a grotto-heaven with grievances on the cultivators, he can directly convict them. There's no need to investigate carefully whether this person personally committed the crime."
"This Guan Shaoshi is too careless! Where's his father, Guan Tianyou? Why doesn't he come out and use his connections to do something? Is he going to let his son die just like that? "
"It's useless! Think about it, since Sengoku Hou Zhen has come out, unless he begs a big shot like Sengoku Hou, only then will it be of some use! Guan Tianyou is the same as me. He's just a high-level heavenly immortal. He's not even Zu Xian. He's far from Sengoku. Although he knows tens of thousands of immortal texts, he's at most a master. He's not an immortal text grandmaster. "
At this moment, Guan Shaoshi kept crying and wailing, "I'm innocent! When I was explaining immortal texts in the Divine Monkey Valley, someone gifted me a grotto-heavens. I didn't know it was left behind by the monkey race … Heavens, earth, why am I so unlucky … "
Qin Di was shocked when he heard this. He thought, 'I've also collected many grotto-heavens and all kinds of rare items. Could the monkey immortal grotto-heavens that died unjustly be among them?'
He asked Dong Zhongshu in a low voice, "Senior martial brother, what's the difference between the human race's and the monkey race's grotto-heavens?"
Dong Zhongshu glanced at him and replied in a low voice, "The monkey race's grotto-heavens have fiery red patterns. As long as you look carefully, you'll be able to see it. And with a sniff, you'll be able to smell a faint demonic aura. Guan Shaoshi's excuse doesn't work at all! Of course, if you want to say that he's innocent, there's a point to it. From the looks of it, he's only a first stage heavenly immortal. He just became a heavenly immortal not long ago. His father isn't by his side, and there's no one to teach him. Maybe he was careless and made a mistake. "
Qin Di sent his divine sense into his own grotto-heavens. He looked at the small pile of grotto-heavens he collected earlier. In the end, he didn't find any fiery red patterns inside. Only then did he let out a soft sigh of relief.
The monkey race demon cultivator who was in charge of transporting the grotto-heavens dragged Guan Shaoshi with chains and walked forward with big strides. He didn't care about Guan Shaoshi's screams at all.
The large group of people, together with the crowd of onlookers, walked along a small path and entered the ancient immortal peach garden.
