Chapter 323: 179, 180. Great Power Clears the Field, Harvesting Immortality Peaches (Seeking Subscriptions)_3
A sense of inexplicable anticipation grew within him.
And this anticipation did not disappoint him; after several twists and turns, he maneuvered around a mountain wall and saw a peach tree standing on a cliff not far away.
The tree shone brilliantly in the sunlight’s golden glow, and even the peaches appeared as if coated in gold.
The air was suddenly filled with a refreshing and enticing fruit fragrance.
Su Keshi hurried forward, staring incredulously at the scene before him and then scanned the peach tree again.
There were actually eleven peaches on it.
He remembered the rule set by Emperor Monarch Xuanwu and thought of his own Family Head also searching for peaches here, and a hesitation rose within him.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, now pondering with eyes cast down, now eyeing the ripe peaches.
Taking a deep breath, the fragrance of the fruit made him feel clear-headed and refreshed, as if his life had been nourished.
’If I take the peaches back and honestly hand them over to Emperor Monarch Xuanwu, even if he keeps his promise, I would only get one peach.
But if I eat a few here... Emperor Monarch Xuanwu will never know.’
With that thought in mind, Su Keshi plucked a peach, sniffed it, tried a bite, and then his eyes lit up. He hastily stuffed it into his mouth, not even sparing the pit.
After finishing one, he felt his body brimming with energy.
He plucked a second one...
A third one...
When he reached for the fourth, he suddenly felt a strange sensation of swelling inside his body.
This Noble Family Child understood that he had temporarily reached saturation.
He also understood that these peaches surely couldn’t grant Longevity, but... they could greatly increase his lifespan.
One peach added at least two sexagenary cycles; with three peaches, that was at least six sexagenary cycles.
With that in mind, Su Keshi seated himself cross-legged, intending to digest the power of the three peaches before continuing to eat the rest.
Eleven peaches, all were his!
If he ate and digested them all, who would know?
...
...
"The Yang Qi is a bit faint," Song Cheng observed, looking at Yaochi Peak with slightly furrowed brows, then added, "It has been constant for months, but just now... there was a change."
He squinted at the verdant peak, showing a ponderous expression.
Suddenly, he turned to Su Mengzhen and said, "Summon people into the Yin Residence, question each one."
Su Mengzhen replied, "You mean, a Noble Family Child has found the Immortality Peach but is secretly eating it."
Song Cheng responded, "I don’t know, but I do know that the Yang Qi has changed inexplicably, and there must be a reason. What you mentioned is one possibility. Since it’s possible, we need to investigate... Everyone looking for peaches here, aside from my Medicinal Humans, is a Noble Family Child."
Su Mengzhen nodded.
Immediately thereafter, the two split up.
Su Mengzhen began to gather people.
Song Cheng also brought every "nominal Family Head" of the major Noble Families into the Yin Residence, and then all the others as well.
At the moment, there were still many Noble Family Children exploring Yaochi Peak, but Song Cheng was not in a hurry.
About two days later, all the Noble Family Children from the major families who had come to explore the mountain were assembled, except for a member of the Su Family named Su Keshi.
Yaochi Peak blocked the Divine Soul, so hiding within, it was difficult to be pulled back by the Yin Residence.
Song Cheng sent the disciples who had appeared back to their places and then waited with Su Mengzhen for Su Keshi.
Another day passed, which already exceeded the maximum duration for entering the mountain.
Song Cheng issued a "warrant" for Su Keshi in his capacity as Emperor Monarch Xuanwu.
However, Su Keshi still did not appear, and the Yang Qi of the entire Yaochi Peak kept growing fainter by the moment.
...
...
"Thrilling! This is so thrilling!"
"I never imagined such a method for breakthrough existed in the world," exclaimed Su Keshi, his eyes gleaming. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Upon eating the fifth peach, he felt that not only his lifespan was extended, but his Realm was also rapidly improving. It was an advancement that completely broke through the Basic Laws.
He was supposed to face the Reappear Calamity, but now... it seemed entirely unnecessary.
A Grey Membrane began to surface on his skin, and this... seemed not yet the endpoint.
With this development, he was even less inclined to hand the peaches over to Emperor Monarch Xuanwu.
If he could make a breakthrough and become stronger, it might even be possible to surpass Emperor Xuanwu... At that time, not just the Su Family, but even Emperor Xuanwu would have to treat him with courtesy.
Yet, Su Keshi was also very careful. He began to notice a problem.
As he consumed more and more Immortality Peaches, the entire mountain also began to show changes, as if... it was losing its mystery, and the Yang Qi was not as abundant.
After a bit of thought and feeling the swelling sensation inside him that would not subside any time soon, Su Keshi decided to take the remaining six peaches and leave immediately.
As for where to go, he would think about it later.
Otherwise, if he continued to stay here and was caught, it would be over.
But if he went down the mountain, even if he was caught, he could say, "There were only six peaches on the tree, and the mountain only began to change after he picked the peaches."
Su Keshi walked and walked until he reached a slope at a turning point. Just as he was about to proceed, he suddenly slipped and tumbled down.
"Aaaah!"
He clutched the peaches tightly in his arms.
Luckily, the slope was not long, and he soon reached the bottom. He looked down and was startled to see a golden figure the size of a finger looking at him.
He became guarded, but the figure did not move.
Upon close inspection, it turned out to be a statue.
Su Keshi picked it up and felt it for a moment, then mumbled in confusion, "It’s a statue made of Sun Nine-Pattern Gold.
This means it has nothing to do with evil spirits, but its purpose is still unclear..."
After a closer look and confirming there were no issues, he placed the Sun Nine-Pattern Gold statue inside his clothes and continued to look for a way out...
