Chapter 828 Defying-Heaven Tree Of Life
“Have you prepared the thing I requested?” On the way out of the Ancestral Land, Yun Lintian asked.
Nantian Xuanyu took a jade slip out and handed it over. “Here.”
Yun Lintian took the jade slip and scanned it briefly before putting it away. “I don’t think I have any further business here. I will leave right away.”
Hearing this, Nantian Xuanyu hesitated for a moment and said. “I know I am asking too much, but can you help Second Ancestor?”
Yun Lintian raised his brows slightly. Since he was disturbed by the Divine Phoenix, he had no mood to stay here any longer. Let along help the Divine Phoenix Palace again.
However, considering that Nantian Xiulan was the peak of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm expert, she could become a great helper in the battle with the Poison Valley. Besides, he didn’t have to sacrifice anything except for a portion of energy.
After thinking for a while, Yun Lintian said. “Lead the way.” b𝚍𝚘𝚟l.nt
Nantian Xuanyu was overjoyed. She hurriedly said. “Thank you. You’re our savior.”
Under Nantian Xuanyu’s guidance, the two quickly arrived at Nantian Xiulan’s private residence.
“Second Ancestor.” Nantian Xuanyu called out, and the door gradually opened, letting her and Yun Lintian in.
Walking into the room, the two saw Nantian Xiulan sit cross-legged on a flat platform, seemingly meditating. She slowly opened her eyes and asked. “I can feel the vitality of the Mother Tree has become stronger. It seems you have succeeded.”
Nantian Xuanyu responded. “Indeed. Little Friend Yun is our Divine Phoenix Palace’s savior this time.”
Nantian Xiulan looked at Yun Lintian and said sincerely. “I appreciate what you’ve done to us. Please feel free to tell us if you want something. We will try our best to satisfy your request.”
Yun Lintian shook his head. “I don’t need anything in return. As I said before, helping the Divine Phoenix Palace is akin to helping myself. I hope you will go all out in the upcoming war with the Poison Valley.”
“That’s natural.” Nantian Xiulan nodded gently. She paused for a second and asked. “Are there other matters?”
“I am here to extend your lifespan, Senior.” Yun Lintian went straight to the point. He took the Primordial Fruit of Immortality out. Immediately, the whole room was filled with rich vitality, causing Nantian Xiulan and Nantian Xuanyu to look straight at the golden fruit in astonishment.
“This is…” Nantian Xiulan’s heart trembled. Her intuition told her this fruit could extend her life for many years.
“It’s called the Primordial Fruit of Immortality. It can extend one’s lifespan for two hundred years as well as strengthen tendons and bones. It also has a beautification benefit. A person can only take one.” Yun Lintian gave a brief explanation and handed the fruit to Nantian Xiulan. “Please take it.”
A trace of hesitation appeared in the depth of Nantian Xiulan’s cloudy eyes. She didn’t have anything to exchange for it. Even if she emptied her treasury, it could not cope with the value of this priceless fruit.
“Take it, Senior. There’s no need to feel a burden.” Yun Lintian encouraged.
Nantian Xiulan took a deep breath to calm her trembling heart, which had been devoid of any emotion for ages. “Alright then.”
She carefully took the golden fruit from Yun Lintian’s hand and observed it carefully. Just touching it, she could feel a powerful vitality current seep into her body.
Without thinking further, she took a bite of it, and a warm current immediately flushed into her body, making every cell tremble with joy. Nantian Xiulan’s eyes lit up, and she quickly swallowed the rest in one go.
In the next moment, her body shook violently. The warm current quickly spread to every corner of her body, allowing everything to regenerate itself. At the same time, Nantian Xiulan’s wrinkled skin began to recover as though her age had gone backward, ushered the second spring of life.
Her white hair gradually turned black, emitting long-lost lusters. Everything slowly reverted back to her youthful day, whether it was her eyes, nose, or lips.
“Second Ancestor…” Nantian Xuanyu exclaimed in shock upon seeing this scene.
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian used this chance to observe the change in Nantian Xiulan. This was the first time he saw the beautification effect of the fruit. It seemed everything worked well in an orderly manner. There was no side effect appearing.
Soon, Nantian Xiulan’s appearance had gone under earth-shattering transformation. From the old woman who was about to reach her end to a mature woman in her prime. If this scene were to spread to the outside world, everyone’s jaw would drop to the floor directly upon witnessing this.
Nantian Xiulan’s beauty was no less than Nantian Xuanyu’s. In Yun Lintian’s opinion, she was even more charming than the latter. Especially her superb figure. Nantian Xuanyu couldn’t even come close to her in this aspect.
Nantian Xiulan slowly stood up from the platform and looked at herself in amazement. She had never thought one day she would return to her younger self once again.
She clenched her fists a few times, trying to feel the newly gained power. At this moment, she was full of vitality and thought she could fight anyone in this world without resting for a whole month.
“I cannot find anything word to express my gratitude to you besides thank you… You can have my word. I will stand on your side and fight with the Poison Valley until the end.” Nantian Xiulan looked at Yun Lintian and said solemnly.
“Senior, stretch your hand out.” Yun Lintian suddenly said, and Nantian Xiulan quickly complied.
Yun Lintian summoned the Tree of Life’s vines and wrapped them around Nantian Xiulan’s entire arm before injecting a portion of vitality into her body.
Unlike the fruit, what Yun Lintian injected into her was the purest vitality that could easily extend one’s lifespan for a hundred years in two seconds.
A while later, Yun Lintian retracted the vines and said. “This is the limit I can help you. If there’s no mistake, Senior could live for another thousand years without a problem.”
On the side, Nantian Xuanyu sucked in a cold breath when she heard this. Just a casual move from Yun Lintian could actually extend one’s lifespan for a thousand years. The Tree of Life was indeed against heaven, as the legend said…
