Accompanied by a flash of golden light, Lu Xuanji vanished.
When he appeared again, he was already inside the mountain peak.
Swipe!
At the mont of opening his eyes, Lu Xuanji felt a faint trace of Spiritual Qi; the Spiritual Qi was sowhat sparse.
All around were gray walls, seemingly crafted from stone, ancient and majestic.
The Cave Mansion was about one hundred square ters, with a height of ten ters.
In the center of the Cave Mansion, there was a pool with a diater of three ters, containing green liquid exuding rich vitality; vibrant and lively, just one whiff was invigorating.
In the pool, there was a Spirit Tree five ters tall, with nine branches diverging from the trunk.
The tree bore so fruits; so were vividly enticing, seemingly close to ripening, while others were green and tender, not yet mature; and on so branches, white flowers were blooming, beautiful and vibrant.
A total of eighteen fruits were on the tree.
"This is a top-grade Fifth Grade Spirit Root, not far from becoming a Sixth Grade!" Lu Xuanji’s eyes flashed with fervor.
This is the Fifth Grade Spirit Root, the Tree of Ti.
It blooms every three hundred years, bears fruit every three hundred years, and takes about a thousand years to mature one Ti Fruit.
Eating a Ti Fruit can increase a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s lifespan by a thousand years.
Just about to pick it, he forcibly restrained himself.
Around the pool, there was a Divinity Transformation Killing Array; if approached forcibly, it would be directly triggered, leading to imdiate destruction.
At this mont, a lodious voice ca: "Future generations entering here must have comprehended Divine Intent, giving hope of Divinity Transformation. I bestow upon you one Ti Fruit, which can increase your lifespan by a thousand years, hoping future generations achieve Divinity Transformation!"
Swipe!
A Jade Box flew out and landed in Lu Xuanji’s hands.
Opening the Jade Box, a faint fragrance imdiately wafted out, enchanting with just a sniff.
The next mont, the box closed once more.
With golden light flashing, he was transported out again.
Lu Xuanji found himself back atop the peak; this entry and exit took less than three breaths.
"Dan Yang Peak seems to have three assessnts, but actually there are four. The fourth test unexpectedly rewards a Ti Fruit, which can increase lifespan by a thousand years!" Securing the Jade Box, Lu Xuanji marveled inwardly, admiring Dan Yang Celestial Venerable’s generosity.
Stepping lightly, he descended the peak.
So disciples witnessing the scene rely thought Elder Lu had given up.
Such scenes had occurred often over the years; many cultivators ca with hope, only to depart in dejection.
...
Returning inside the mountain, entering the Cave Mansion, he activated the array to obscure everything, blocking external prying eyes.
Only then did Lu Xuanji open the Jade Box, gazing at the Ti Fruit inside.
Thanks to the Jade Box concealing the scent, otherwise, just the fragrance leaking out would draw countless cultivators and Spirit Beasts.
The Ti Fruit can increase lifespan by a thousand years.
It’s beneficial for a Golden Core Cultivator, beneficial for a Nascent Soul True Monarch, but as for a Divinity Transformation Celestial Venerable... it has no effect. That’s why Dan Yang Celestial Venerable generously left the Ti Fruit for future cultivators.
Cultivators train for two main reasons: longevity and power.
Particularly the forr holds imnse allure for cultivators.
Those Pure-blood Golden Crows, Pure-blooded Black Tortoises, Pure-blood Cyan Dragons, Pure-blooded Phoenixes, belong to the longevity species, with lifespans several tis, even ten tis that of humans. They possess lengthy lifespans, allowing for continual cultivation and strength enhancent, giving them significant opportunities to advance to higher realms.
Conversely, humans are short-lived species; Qi Refining lifespan is one hundred and twenty years, Foundation Establishnt lifespan is two hundred and forty years, Purple Mansion lifespan is four hundred and eighty years, Golden Core lifespan is a thousand years, Nascent Soul lifespan is two thousand years.
With lifespans too brief, many cultivators exhaust their life force and eventually perish.
After reaching Nascent Soul, longevity-extending Spirit dicines or Elixirs are not only scarce, but extrely rare, and their effects are typically modest.
Most longevity elixirs can extend a Nascent Soul’s life by two to three hundred years, which is considered quite good.
Yet the Ti Fruit can surprisingly extend life by a thousand years, almost shocking.
He took out the Ti Fruit, just about to consu it, but ultimately gave up.
"I don’t need it... My potential is too great; I don’t need a Longevity Fruit to increase my lifespan!" Lu Xuanji said, a flicker of determination in his eyes, and again put the Ti Fruit away, "But I can give it to Wanyi, give it to Xi’Er, give it to the Grand Elder... They need it more than I do!"
Sensing the Dantian’s location, the Grotto World Pearl was flickering; a trace of Divine Thought entered, starting to inspect the items within.
After all, just a fake treasure trove had created a Divinity Transformation powerhouse.
How many treasures would a real trove have?
His figure flashed, Lu Xuanji entered the Grotto World Pearl; the space inside was quite vast, about ten kiloters in size.
Within the Grotto Heaven, a Sixth Grade Spirit Vein was laid out, causing the Spiritual Qi inside to be extrely dense; it’s the ultimate Cultivation Blessed Land.
Just by breathing a few tis, Lu Xuanji felt invigorated, sensing his cultivation speed accelerating by more than threefold.
In here, various Spirit dicines were planted, Jade Marrow Lingzhi, Celestial Lingzhi, Creation Grass, Nirvana Flower, Vitality Grass, Longevity Grass, Purple Mansion Flower, etc., ranging from Second Grade Spirit dicine, Third Grade Spirit dicine, Fourth Grade Spirit dicine, directly to Fifth Grade Spirit dicine, in an array of dazzling quantity.
Yet, after the passage of ti, many Spirit dicines had withered, transforming into dicinal ash, and dicinal mud sedinted in the dicine field, forming a thick layer.
Many Spirit dicines have very long lifespans, longer even than those of human cultivators and Divine Beasts, but they cannot always continue to grow; so wither automatically after growing for five to six thousand years, turning into dicinal remnants scattered below.
Gazing at the thick layer of dicinal mud in the dicine field, Lu Xuanji sighed inwardly, wondering how many Spirit dicines had withered to create such thickness, through how many generations, even over hundreds of thousands of years.
Such dicinal mud is extrely fertile, suitable for the growth of so top-grade Spirit dicines.
Currently, there were less than a hundred Spirit dicines growing in the dicine Garden, but the youngest Spirit dicine was over thirty thousand years old; so with older years had reached a hundred thousand.
When the years reach a hundred thousand, they can be called dicine Kings.
dicine Kings are greatly beneficial even for Divinity Transformation.
"So Fifth Grade Spirit dicines can forge Nascent Soul level elixirs; dicine Kings are suitable for crafting Divinity Transformation Elixirs... This is the dicine Emperor..."
Suddenly, Lu Xuanji spotted a Spirit dicine.
This particular Spirit dicine stood rely three feet high, with nine leaves displaying golden patterns, encircling a flower, its aura grand and proud.
Within this Spirit dicine’s vicinity, within a thirty-mile radius, no other Spirit dicine grew.
This was precisely a Demon Emperor.
"Based on its age calculations, it should be around three hundred thousand years!"
Lu Xuanji took a deep breath.
