Chapter 253: Peach Mountain

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

A shock wave visible with the naked eye blasted outwards with the collision as the center.

The force was extremely terrifying and tyrannical, sending shockwaves rippling through the sky! Fortunately, the explosion had occurred in the sky; otherwise, if it had been in this little village, over half of the place would have been destroyed!

“Brother Cang Hai, it’s been so many years, and your temper is still as bad as ever. Luckily it was this old Daoist who received your strike. If it was anyone else, wouldn’t they have lost their lives now?”

The old man laughed lazily as he leaned against the golden eagle’s back. He was clearly several thousand meters away, but his voice still rang clearly in the hotel room.

“Damn it, even that old bastard received the news too?”

The four people’s faces turned ugly immediately as soon as they heard that decrepit old man’s voice.

From the way it looked, these few people did hold some degree of fear towards the old Daoist. A cold light flashed across the female expert’s eyes as she exchanged a glance with the other three.

The other three furrowed their brows, as if in deep thought about something. Finally, they shook their heads. It was obvious that the woman was somewhat unwilling to drop the matter, but she chose to restrain herself in the end.

“Why? The few of you don’t seem to welcome this old Daoist!”

The old man instantly appeared at the third level of the hotel and looked at the four people with a playful smile on his face.

Li Cang Hai felt his lips twitching slightly as he narrowed his eyes. This old bastard was like an annoying plague, a complete jinx. Everywhere he went, bad luck would surely follow.

If that was it, it was still fine. But the most frustrating thing was that the man himself would always be fine while everyone else suffered death and injuries!

“How could that be? Haha, I wonder why Daoist Chi Song is here this time?”

Li Cang Hai forced out a feeble smile with all his might as he looked at the annoying old man.

When it came to one-on-one combat, none of them was a match for this old bastard. The Heavenly Law Sect behind him was also a humongous existence, causing them to feel a huge headache.

“Haha, of course it’s for the Purple Gold Ginseng!”

Chi Song grabbed a chair and sat down unceremoniously as he directly gulped down a mouthful of wine from the flask.

‘As expected of the old bastard. This fellow would turn up wherever there’s a treasure!’

The four all had extremely ugly looks on their faces. But in the end, they could only swallow it bitterly and accept the situation.

After a round of feigned cordiality, Chi Song finally left. The four people were left alone once again to their discussions.

“Everyone, since Chi Song is here this time, we have to act quickly. Our four clans will cooperate to keep Chi Song outside while we act. Otherwise, there’s no way we will be able to obtain the Purple Gold Ginseng!”

Li Cang Hai quickly decided. The others also agreed after a brief discussion. The old bastard’s record was simply too shocking to ignore. He didn’t even need to do anything; just standing still nearby was enough to trigger some unexpected incidences!

Once, there was a martial practitioner with a cultivation one level higher than Daoist Chi Song vying for a Heaven Origin Fruit against him. Daoist Chi Song was thoroughly defeated by the latter, but just as the powerful martial practitioner went forward to pick the fruit, an Earth Dragon suddenly jumped out of the ground and attacked him!

The super expert was beaten into a terrible state and forced to retreat. Later, when Chi Song approached to pluck the fruit, nothing happened to him!

The super expert was naturally unwilling to suffer the injustice. So, he went after old bastard Chi Song and gave him a good beating before leaving. In the end, before he had even flown ten li away, a Sun Crystal dropped from the sky, directly incinerating the super expert to ashes!

Incidents like this were not few. Thus, old bastard Chi Song was nicknamed ‘the galaxy’s greatest jinx’!

“How do we split the Purple Gold Ginseng after we find it?” the female expert voiced the greatest concern in everyone’s hearts.

“How about we do it like this; each person will get ten drops of the ginseng essence on the spot after we find it. Thereafter, we’ll split the essence equally based on how much it produces every year?” Li Cang Hai said after pondering for a moment. This method seemed to be the fairest.

“Fine! Let’s pass the orders down then. Tell the underlings to locate the Purple Gold Ginseng as quickly as possible! Right now, it’d already been forced onto the Peach Mountain by us, and should not be able to escape in a short time.”

The other three naturally had no objections towards this, and quickly passed down the orders to their clans.

In a short time, a large batch of martial practitioners set off from the town towards Peach Mountain!

According to legends, an immortal once dropped a peach onto the mountain by accident while passing by. As time passed, the peach grew and the mountain was filled with countless peach trees!

The peach trees here were extremely tall, with plenty of strong branches. The strange thing was, the trees never grew any leaves, and although the flowers would bloom on their branches, they never produced any fruits!

Throughout the four seasons, the trees were always filled with flowers! Furthermore, they never wilted. In time, countless legends were born because of it.

The scenery was as beautiful as a painting, and birds of all colors danced among the peach forest in an equally peaceful and harmonious way.

Unfortunately, the peaceful atmosphere here was about to be broken apart as countless martial practitioners rushed into the Peach Mountain. From inner Jing practitioners to Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts, everyone began searching madly through the forest.

Li Cang Hai’s group of four were floating in the air and observing the situation. Old man Chi Song was similarly eying the crowd as he stood to the side. It was obvious that he was determined to snatch some advantages at a crucial time.

Time passed slowly and in three hours, every inch of the Peach Mountain had already been turned over once. However, there was no trace of the Purple Gold Ginseng.

“That’s not possible, where is it hiding?” Li Cang Hai mumbled to himself. They had already looked all over the place, but there was no sign of the Purple Gold Ginseng at all!

The Purple Gold Ginseng was not an ordinary spirit herb. Otherwise, there would be no need for Li Cang Hai and the rest to come personally. And this was under the circumstances that news of the appearance of the spirit herb was covered up. Otherwise, the number of experts coming to this place would be even more ridiculous!

“Hear my orders! Burn the forest down and force the Purple Gold Ginseng out for me!” Li Cang Hai’s voice resounded through the entire mountain. The Purple Gold Ginseng’s greatest fear was fire! With the entire mountain on fire, it would definitely show its tail!

Although the Purple Gold Ginseng feared fire, it didn’t mean that it would be so easily destroyed and burnt by it. Without any exaggerations, a Xiantian Lord might not even be a match for the Purple Gold Ginseng!

The moment the order was sent down, it was carried out with no hesitation. A huge fire was started from the bottom of the mountain, building up in intensity as it burnt upwards. The large patches of dried grass became the best fuel for the fire. In no time, a raging fire was burning through the bottom of the mountain.

The Peach Mountain was not any small mountain; it was a long mountain range which stretched for several hundred li!

But to Li Cang Hai, its value could not be compared to the Purple Gold Ginseng at all!

All the martial practitioners at Xiantian and below hurriedly retreated far away. With how strong the fire was right now, even Xiantian Lords would be burnt to a crisp if they were trapped within!

The tens of Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts rose into the air calmly and hovered there. There was no external support at all, yet they simply stood in midair calmly!

Every eye was focused on the Peach Mountain, watching for any traces of the Purple Gold Ginseng.

At the heart of the mountain, there was an enormous peach tree over a thousand meters tall. Its bark was dried and riddled with cracks. It was unknown how many years this tree had stood on this spot!

The tree’s crown stretched majestically over an area of over ten thousand meters. Countless peach blossoms fluttered down as a gentle breeze blew through its branches.

Hidden deep within the ground in a pot hole beside a thick root of this tree was… the Purple Gold Ginseng!

This ginseng was only about 20 cm tall, and did not look like a spirit herb at all. Instead, it looked more like a formless infant! It was possible to see vivid human-like outlines on its body.

At this time, the ginseng was trembling slightly as it tried to dig deeper into the ground. It could not understand why so many people were coming after it.

The speed at which the fire was growing and spreading was becoming faster and more ferocious!

Huge pillars of smoke rose into the air, thick and menacing.

The shocking heat caused waves of heat waves to rise off the ground. Looking over from a great distance away, one could even see the air rippling with heat!
