152: Extending Lin Xuanzhong's life

Lin Yongmao found a spot and planted the Lifespan Peach Tree.

The location he chose was close to the World Tree and his stone house, a place rich in Spiritual Qi.

After planting, Lin Yongmao poured all the High Grade spirit soil, Living Earth, and High Grade spirit spring water onto the Lifespan Peach Tree.

The Lifespan Peach Tree grew at a visible rate, its branches thickening and its trunk growing taller.

Lin Yongmao then took out two bottles of "five-hundred-year spirit plant cultivation fluid" and poured them all onto the roots of the Lifespan Peach Tree.

Upon checking with the "Attribute Panel," this Lifespan Peach Tree had already grown for one thousand three hundred years.

The leaves on the peach tree had all fallen off, and beautiful pink peach blossoms bloomed everywhere; with a gust of wind, pink peach petals flew, creating a peach blossom rain.

The peach tree is lovely, its blossoms brilliant.

This beautiful scene was enchanting; if one could drink a pot of tea or wine under this peach tree, it would be truly delightful.

However, Lin Yongmao did not linger to admire the scenery; he directly formed hand seals and cast a secret art from the "Ku Rong Art."

"Life Blessing"

A large amount of Spiritual Qi surged out from Lin Yongmao's body, transforming into life energy and injecting it into the Lifespan Peach Tree.

The Lifespan Peach Tree began to grow wildly again, all its petals withered, and small, unripe peaches began to form where the flowers had bloomed.

Lin Yongmao continuously cast Life Blessing; although his Spiritual Qi was constantly being consumed, the effect was visible, as the initially unripe peaches gradually swelled.

This was equivalent to technology and ruthless methods without negative side effects.

After about twenty minutes, the Lifespan Peach matured, or rather, the Thousand-Year Lifespan Peach matured.

The Lifespan Peach was the same size as an ordinary fuzzy peach and showed no unusual characteristics, but when Lin Yongmao picked one and held it, he could detect its special attributes.

"Thousand-Year Lifespan Peach":

Grade: Tier 3 High Grade

Attribute: Lifespan + 20

This meant that by simply eating this small peach, one's Lifespan could increase by twenty years, without any restrictions.

Looking at the tree full of peaches, Lin Yongmao exclaimed how powerful it was, stating that no elder in the Family would ever again pass away due to insufficient Lifespan.

Lin Yongmao immediately ate a Lifespan Peach; it tasted quite good, much sweeter than ordinary peaches.

Unfortunately, this Lifespan Peach had no effect on him; his Lifespan had long been on par with the World Tree, and the World Tree's Lifespan was on par with this world.

He had no Lifespan restrictions, but he could not avoid death from external harm.

Therefore, what Lin Yongmao needed was not Lifespan, but Cultivation and strength.

Lin Yongmao picked a dozen Lifespan Peaches and then ran towards the Scripture Pavilion.

This time, Lin Yongmao ascended this high peak by flying with a Flying Sword, feeling very Divine Qi, without worrying about the risks of rock climbing, and able to fully enjoy the mountain scenery.

Currently, the Scripture Pavilion was managed by his Second Uncle Lin Yumo, but Second Uncle-Grandfather Lin Xuanbo still resided there.

Lin Yongmao arrived at this scenic peak and, before he could admire the surrounding beauty, saw Lin Yumo sitting cross-legged, Cultivating in a state of self-forgetfulness.

Lin Yumo's transition from managing the "Logistics Hall" to managing the "Scripture Pavilion" meant his status had risen, and he had more abundant time, dedicating a large portion of it to Cultivating.

Lin Yongmao swept his powerful Divine Sense over his Cultivation:

Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Stage!

He hadn't expected his Second Uncle to be the first to enter the Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Stage; it seemed the "Yu" generation of the Lin Family was starting to exert its power.

Seemingly sensing someone's arrival, Lin Yumo stopped his Cultivation and slowly opened his eyes.

"It's you! Yongmao~"

Lin Yongmao greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Second Uncle!"

"Came to see that girl Yongxi?"

"No, I came to visit Second Uncle-Grandfather," Lin Yongmao replied.

Lin Yumo subconsciously still thought of Lin Yongmao as the playful child he once was, assuming he had come to ask his daughter to play together.

"You're still so filial; your Second Uncle-Grandfather is in a side room of the Scripture Pavilion; go see him!"

Lin Yongmao bid farewell to Lin Yumo, entered the Scripture Pavilion, and walked into a bedroom.

On the bed in the bedroom lay an old man with white hair and a gaunt face; the old man would occasionally cough a few times, his coughs weak and listless.

"Second Uncle-Grandfather, I came to visit you," Lin Yongmao said softly, afraid that his voice might be too loud and disturb Lin Xuanzhong's rest.

Lin Xuanzhong struggled to sit up; he looked at Lin Yongmao with gentle eyes and said, "It's hard for you to be so filial, still remembering this old bone of mine."

Lin Yongmao felt a pang of sorrow; ever since he was injured by Yuan Wang's Flying Sword last time, his injuries had not fully recovered, and coupled with his limited Lifespan, he was now on his deathbed.

The "Attribute Panel" began to examine Lin Xuanzhong's information:

"Lin Xuanzhong":

Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection

Lifespan: 205 / 207

Seemingly sensing Lin Yongmao's inner sadness, he instead comforted him: "Yongmao, don't worry; everyone has that day..."

After pondering for a moment, he changed the subject and said, "But Second Uncle-Grandfather hopes you can go further and further on the path of Immortal Cultivation; as long as your Realm continuously improves, your Lifespan will also be endless... Your talent is so good, Second Uncle-Grandfather believes in you..."

Lin Yongmao showed a slight smile; he took out a small bag of peaches from his Storage Pouch and said, "Second Uncle-Grandfather, you're talking nonsense. Come, eat a few peaches first; these peaches were all planted by me personally."

Lin Yongmao used water control to wash the peaches clean, then brought them to Lin Xuanzhong's mouth.

Lin Xuanbo saw this as a small token of Lin Yongmao's affection, so he took them directly and took a few bites.

"Delicious..."

"No, these peaches..."

The closer one was to the end of their Lifespan, the more they could feel the extraordinary nature of these Lifespan Peaches.

One could say that Lin Xuanzhong had one foot already in the grave, but this single peach forcibly dragged his leg back.

Lin Yongmao's face was full of smiles as he said, "That's right, Second Uncle-Grandfather, these peaches can extend Lifespan. As long as your injuries recover, you can continue to Cultivate."

Lin Yongmao's words were like a heavy hammer, striking Lin Xuanzhong's heart.

"Really?"

Looking at the dozen or so peaches before him, were all these spirit fruits capable of extending Lifespan?

Lin Yongmao continued to take out spirit plants; this time, it was the Blood Qi Vine for recovering from injuries.

Moreover, this Blood Qi Vine before him was different from the Blood Qi Vine Lin Xuanzhong had initially taken; this Blood Qi Vine had now grown for a thousand years.

"Thousand-Year Blood Qi Vine":

Grade: Tier 3 Medium Grade

Attribute: "Healing" "Blood Qi Abundance"

Due to the influence of "Grass and Wood Have Spirits," the original blood-stopping vine had benignly mutated into a Blood Qi Vine, and with the addition of the five-hundred-year spirit plant cultivation fluid, the Blood Qi Vine had already grown for a thousand years.

A ten-thousand-year Blood Qi Vine has the effect of bringing the dead back to life and regenerating flesh from bones, and a thousand-year Blood Qi Vine has no problem treating injuries like Lin Xuanzhong's.

"Second Uncle-Grandfather, use this; your injuries should recover very quickly."

Lin Yongmao handed a large amount of spiritual plants to Lin Xuanzhong.
