Chapter 34: The Cold Peach Spirit Tree and a Fickle Heart

“Xian Yuan, what kind of fruit is this, exactly?”

Seeing Xian Yuan’s previous appearance, Murong Fier completely dismissed the notion that this was merely a Water Peach Spirit Tree.

“This must be a subspecies of the Water Peach Spirit Tree.

When I just ate it, a powerful surge of cold energy erupted within my meridians, and I also sensed a trace of immense power—that must be Dao Resonance.”

How could mere cold energy possess the power to transform into a planet?

Indeed, while unconscious, Xian Yuan had genuinely felt a potent force, a true Dao Resonance.

However, her cultivation was too low to refine it.

Thus, the ‘little Xian Yuan’ acted, turning that wisp of Dao Resonance into a small planet.

“It seems cultivators with ice affinity are truly blessed.

I imagine the Ice Soul Fairy Limeng will rush over without delay upon hearing this news.”

“The Ice Soul Fairy, you say…”

The mere mention of Limeng made Xian Yuan feel uneasy, fervently hoping she wouldn’t encounter her.

Otherwise, Limeng would surely come after her with a vengeance.

Murong Fier, keenly observing Xian Yuan’s awkward expression, deliberately began to tease her.

“I heard that thirty years ago, during the Ice Soul Fairy’s grand wedding, the groom actually eloped with Xinglan Xianzi, right in front of everyone!”

She continued, “Because of that, the relationship between Vast Cold Palace and Star Palace has been tense ever since.”

As she spoke, her gaze mischievously flickered towards Xian Yuan.

Xian Yuan’s face flushed with embarrassment, for she had indeed been responsible for that incident.

Yet, at the time, she had only done it to escape the marriage, hadn’t she?

She couldn’t possibly have truly gone through with the wedding.

“Uh, well, that… that was me…” she admitted awkwardly.

“Oh my, what a heartbreaker!” Murong Fier teased playfully.

“I am not!” Xian Yuan protested, unwilling to back down.

“I’m a woman, how could that be considered fickle-hearted?”

“Alright, alright, I was only joking,” Murong Fier said, her smile fading.

“However, you brought this upon yourself, didn’t you?”

“Mean sister,” Xian Yuan pouted.

Xian Yuan pouted, then pulled out her phone and opened the Qiyuan Ecological Encyclopedia.

She began to input a new entry:

Qiyuan Realm — Plants — Sexual Reproduction — Photosynthetic Genus — Seed Phylum — Water Peach Spirit Tree Species — Subspecies — Cold Peach Spirit Tree Species

Following this, Xian Yuan typed into the detailed information section:

Cold Peach Spirit Tree

Normal Information: Its branches are cylindrical and smooth.

Its leaves are alternate, ovate-lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, with fine teeth and linear stipules.

The calyx is covered in short, soft hairs, and the petals are blue.

The drupe is broadly ovoid-spherical, densely covered in short, soft hairs.

The endocarp is hard and woody.

Its seeds are flattened, ovate-cordate.

Flowering period: 200–300 years.

Fruiting period: 600–605 years.

Specific Efficacy: It can assist ice-attributed cultivators in generating ice-attributed Dao Resonance.

It can also be used in medicine, with medicinal effects identical to the Water Peach Spirit Tree.

In pill formulas, it can serve as a direct substitute for the Water Peach Spirit Tree.

Habitat and Habits: Similar to the Water Peach Spirit Tree, it thrives in cold regions.

It is commonly found predominantly in areas with perennial ice plains.

Precautions: Only one fruit is effective per person.

Consuming more will only slightly increase the storage limit of ice-attributed immortal essence.

It must not be taken together with fire-attributed spiritual objects or spiritual fruits.

While exceptions exist for special physiques, it is still not advisable to try it lightly.

After all, small gambles are enjoyable, but large gambles harm the body, and excessive gambling leads to losing everything.
