At this moment, Xu Que was smiling as he sat in his room. He was so delighted when he saw the dazzling peach in his System package.

Yes! It was the peach he had obtained at the bottom of the lake. It was exquisite and wrapped by dazzling golden light like a crystal. However, it was a real peach! But this peach was not borne by a peach tree. It was a Nine-Reincarnation Peach, which meant this peach would reincarnate every 10,000 years. Before taking shape, it had been sucking the essence of the peach tree garden for 90,000 years.

Xu Que believed this peach would have a qualitative change after 10,000 years. At that time, it would have intelligence and became a peach celestial after crossing its Heavenly Tribulation. It was a pity for it that it was obtained by Xu Que before it could have time to cross its Heavenly Tribulation and become a celestial. In short, it was a fruit that was as powerful as a celestial pill. It was full of magnificent Celestial Core Power, which made it extremely precious.

Tsk, tsk, tsk! This is really a bountiful harvest! Such a divine item could help me to reach the Heaven Celestial Stage! Xu Que couldn’t help but smile delightedly. Before that, he had had to stay in the Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool for one year to reach the Earth Celestial Stage. Now he believed a small bite of the peach would bring him to the Heaven Celestial Stage immediately.

However, Xu Que didn’t want to do it now. He didn’t want to cross his Heavenly Tribulation in the Jade Lake after reaching the Heaven Celestial Stage. It would expose his identity and also ruin the Jade Lake because of the thunder tribulations. Then the Jade Lake would never let him go. After all, Buttface and Duan Jiude used to make trouble here in the name of Xu Que. If Xu Que bombarded the Jade Lake with a Heavenly Tribulation, the Jade Lake would never forgive him.

Anyway, Xu Que had a good impression of the Jade Lake. Also it used to cultivate Jiang Hongyan. Now, he had also obtained the Nine-Reincarnation Peach here. So it was really inappropriate to make trouble for the Jade Lake. Of course, the most important reason was that all the members of this sect were beautiful women. Xu Que didn’t have the heart to entrap them!

Hmm, I should find a quiet place to cross the Heavenly Tribulation when I leave Jade Lake tomorrow. The Jade Lake is really a good place to be my future bedchamber. And I can have thousands of...no, tens of thousands of beautiful concubines here! Xu Que indulged in a fantasy as he crossed his legs excitedly.

Soon, morning dawned.

That night, Xu Que had been studying how to use that Nine-Reincarnation Peach reasonably. He would take a bite to reach the Heaven Celestial Stage first. Then, he couldn’t rely on the peach to reach higher stages, for it would make his foundation unstable.

More importantly, he had to take precautions against the Chaotic Green Lotus in his body. Although it had finished its third growth and kept silent for a long time, he didn’t know when it would start its fourth growth. At that time, only the Nine-Reincarnation Peach could provide the lotus with enough Celestial Core Power!

Knock! Knock! Knock!

At this time, the door of his room was knocked on by someone gently. “Elder Xu, did you rest well? The Holy Virgin and the deacons are waiting for you in the meeting room. They sent me to lead you there!” A female apprentice said gently outside the door.

Xu Que was stunned a bit, for a female apprentice had told him to go to the meeting room yesterday. The one who informed him today was not the female apprentice who had come to him yesterday. More important, the voice of this female apprentice was full of reverence. What’s going on? Does it mean they know my real identity?

Xu Que was surprised. The female apprentice who came here yesterday was very nice to him because she sympathized with him. So her words were full of concern about a senior and nothing else. Why did this female apprentice show reverence to a frail old man who was just at the Half-Celestial Stage?

“Okay, coming!” Xu Que said in a low voice as he walked toward the door. Since he couldn’t figure out the answer to this puzzle, he didn’t want to waste his time in doing that. Anyway, the Jade Lake’s Holy Mother was not here. Nobody could stop him if he decided to leave here!

.....

At the same time, the atmosphere in the Jade Lake had become quite solemn. The Holy Virgin Bai Cailing and several deacons were looking at a female apprentice seriously.

That apprentice was the one who had led the way for Xu Que yesterday. Now she was confused and nervous because, not only the Holy Virgin and the deacons were looking at her, but a handsome young man, who was protected by several guardians at the Golden Celestial Stage, was also looking at her. They were from the Divine Farmer Clan, which was the overlord of the Taiyin Celestial Realm. This sect was good at making medicine. They also planted many elixirs and had an elixir garden that was the largest one on the Heaven Continent. So this sect was even more influential than the Jade Lake.

This handsome young man’s name was Yi Zhong, who was a young sovereign and also a promising candidate for the Holy Son of the Divine Farmer Clan. They had come here to deliver a message to the Jade Lake’s Holy Mother, who had asked the rest of the members of the Jade Lake to get ready to transplant the peach trees.

Normally, an ordinary apprentice would be sent to deliver a message. However, Yi Zhong volunteered to deliver this message personally. Actually, he tried to take this opportunity to make up with Bai Cailing. Everybody knew the Divine Farmer Clan had a good relationship with the Jade Lake. However, when the Divine Farmer Clan became more and more powerful, the Jade Lake was left behind gradually. Now the relationship between the two sects was not as good as before. So the Jade Lake’s Holy Mother had a plan to enhance the relationship through marriage.

Young members of the Divine Farmer Clan welcomed this proposal. Bai Cailing was one of the most beautiful Holy Virgins on the Heaven Continent. Once one of the candidates for the Holy Son of the Divine Farmer Clan won Bai Cailing’s heart, this candidate would win the position of Holy Son in advance. The quality of the candidates was almost the same. If Bai Cailing married one of them, her husband must be a Holy Son to match the position of Bai Cailing as a Holy Virgin!

So Yi Zhong would never miss this opportunity. He came directly to the Jade Lake and tried to gain favor from Bai Cailing by spending more time with her. In this way, the probability for him to win the position of the Holy Son would be higher.

However, his plan was not related to today’s issue. Yi Zhong had come here to deliver the message for the Holy Mother. So he also went to the peach tree garden. However, all of them were dumbfounded by what they saw there. Thousands of peach trees in the garden should be lifeless. However, one peach tree was quite vibrant. The entire tree was wrapped in dazzling light as if it had been revived.

This news startled everyone in the Jade Lake. After a detailed inquiry, they knew only two people had gone to the peach tree garden recently, Xu Que and the female apprentice who led the way for him. So, this female apprentice told everything that happened yesterday to the Holy Virgin and the deacons, including the Celestial Core Power which appeared suddenly and disappeared in a flash in the peach tree garden. Hearing that, the Holy Virgin and the deacons became serious. After making eye contact and having a short discussion, they sent an apprentice to invite Xu Que. Apparently, they figured out that the revival of the peach tree was related to Xu Que.

“Holy Virgin, Deacons, Elder Xu has arrived!” At this time, two figures walked into the room. A female apprentice led Xu Que into the meeting room. With a cane in his hand, Xu Que was still quite frail and pale. The female apprentice was supporting Xu Que, who was walking in a doddering fashion.

Hardly had he walked into the meeting room when a deacon asked, “Elder Xu, the thing that happened in the peach tree garden was done by you, right?”

Xu Que, who was walking forward, didn’t expect the deacon would ask such a question. So he stopped and murmured in his heart secretly. Oh, no! Does it mean they know about the Nine-Reincarnation Peach? No, I shall never admit that! Then Xu Que straightened himself and looked up at people in the meeting room with puzzlement, “The thing that happened in the peach tree garden? What happened? Wait, let me clarify it. No matter what happened there, it was not related to me. I was just enjoying the beautiful scenery there!”

“Elder Xu, the more you try to hide, the more you are exposed!” Deacon Lin said with a smile as she looked at Xu Que with keen interest. “Elder Xu, deep rivers move in silence. The thing that happened to that peach tree was done by you, right?”

“Ah? What are you talking about? I really can’t understand you! As a fair and square man, I won’t deny what I’ve done. However, I will never admit anything which is not done by me!” Xu Que said resolutely as if he would die rather than submit. However, his reaction assured those people, who believed he was one who did good things without seeking recognition. Is this a peculiarity of noble people?

Bai Cailing stared at the old man and her heart was full of wonder. It was hard to imagine an upright old man could have such a shameless son!

“Elder Xu, please don’t misunderstand us! We just want to appreciate you!” At this time, Bai Cailing continued with a smile, “Recently, only you went into the peach tree garden. That peach tree was revived and is so vibrant now! We know it was you who revived it!”

Revive the peach tree? Does she mean the one I watered with the Living Holy Water? It turns out they are only trying to thank me! I almost misunderstood them!

“Alas!” Xu Que looked up at the sky and his face was full of loneliness. Then he sighed deeply, “I don’t fight for fame or fortune, but people still envy my aloofness! When I was young, I was a perfect man. So I was hated by countless enemies! Now, I only want to keep a low profile and drag out an ignoble existence! Why do you want to lay me bare?”
