Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 546: Chapter 34: Young Clan Leader! Don’t Let Down My Beloved Daughter_2

For the elder Heavenly Human Realm cultivators who have lived a long time, the sense of a life-threatening crisis is extremely strong. Who wouldn’t want to live another ten or eight years?

Moreover, the effectiveness of the Longevity Fruit for those in the Heavenly Human Realm is not very strong, but it can still extend one’s lifespan by a decade or so. It’s hard for ordinary elders to get a chance to use it.

How could they not fight over it when Master Changchun is not around?

Senior Brother Jinshan at the side was at a loss for words. These elders usually couldn’t even be seen as they were all holed up in their nests taking care of retirement. But with the Longevity Fruit, all of them wanted it.

“Ahem~” Senior Brother Jinshan started, hands clasped, “The Longevity Fruit is a divine medicine. I suggest it goes into the inventory first, and the final decision is made when the master is back.”

“Exactly, exactly.” Li Yuzhe also said, “Even if we want to distribute it privately, shouldn’t we give it to us young core disciples first? The Longevity Fruit is most effective when consumed by cultivators in the Spirit Platform Realm.”

The other core disciples all chimed in and agreed.

Hearing the exchange between the core disciples and the elders, Bai Ling – the senior sister and other ordinary disciples all kept quiet. They didn’t pretend to see anything.

Although the Longevity Fruit is indeed most effective when consumed by those in the Vital Energy Refining Realm, it physically strengthens the consumer, and its life-prolonging effects are most pronounced. Even if Qi Refinement Realm cultivators can’t breakthrough to the Spirit Platform Realm after consuming the Longevity Fruit, they could live for up to a hundred years.

However, this precious Longevity Fruit is not something they are qualified to fight for.

Among the “Ordinary Disciples”, only Wang Zong’an watched the scene with interest.

He had heard about the Longevity Fruit.

Legend has it that this Longevity Tree, although it is part of Master Changchun’s Spirit Plants, has actually been passed down for several generations and is older than the history of the Purple Abode Academic Palace.

Moreover, there’s a strange rule in Changchun Valley. The heir of the tree is not chosen by his master, but by the “Longevity Tree”. The one who inherits the “Longevity Tree” is the next Valley Master of Changchun Valley. Regardless of what he was previously called, after becoming the heir, he would inherit the title of “Master Changchun”.

This Longevity Fruit is one of the few Heaven and Earth treasures in the world that can be used to extend the lifespan of ordinary people.

It is said that his father once obtained a Longevity Fruit. After Old Ancestor Longyan consumed it, the lifespan he lost due to his injuries was replenished.

The Longevity Fruit can nourish the body from the inside out at a very deep level. That’s the fundamental reason why it can prolong life. But compared to life extension, it is even more effective in replenishing lost lifespan.

Besides, Longevity Fruits can be used in alchemy. When combined with other Heaven and Earth treasures that replenish vital essence, it can be refined into the Longevity Pill. A skilled Alchemy Master can make seven to eight Longevity Pills in one furnace.

The Longevity Pill is a grade-four Dan medicine. Each is worth about thirty thousand Qian Golds, which is nearly as valuable as the Heavenly Spirit Pill. But after being refined into the Longevity Pill, even though the total value increases, the individual effect becomes significantly weaker, and it only has a major effect on cultivators below the Spirit Platform Realm.

The choice depends on the demand.

The reason why Wang Zong’an has such understanding is that his father brought some inventory of “Longevity Pills” from the Academic Palace back to their clan to help the older clan members extend their lives.

After all, those elders made so many sacrifices for the sake of sustaining the family and nurturing the younger generations. Now that the clan has become powerful, it is only natural to give back to them. Although the passing time cannot be retrieved, letting them enjoy a few more peaceful years is also a good thing.

Because of this, Wang Zong’an pays more attention to the Longevity Fruit than other ordinary disciples.

However, before the elders and core disciples could reach a conclusion on their argument,

Suddenly,

The vibrant green fruit on the branch of the Longevity Tree suddenly glowed brightly.

The light was bright but not dazzling; instead, it was unusually soft. It also carried a unique rhythm, like breathing, alternating between deep and shallow, slow and prolonged.

“Huh?” An elder with sharp eyes noticed a change, couldn’t help but exclaim, “This Longevity Fruit is different from the usual ones, it seems to be a ‘spirit seed’!”

“Spirit seed?”

Everyone’s attention was drawn to it.

The elders who had seen the Longevity Fruit before all had surprised expressions.

Indeed, this Longevity Fruit was a bit unusual.

Any species has a desire and instinct to reproduce and expand its population. If it didn’t, then this species would have disappeared in the long river of history.

As a unique spirit seed, the Longevity Tree naturally has this desire. At this moment, the Longevity Fruit it produces is different from the usual ones. Inside the fruit, it contains a Longevity Tree spirit seed.

This seed can be nurtured and a new Longevity Tree sapling can be born. This sapling will continue to grow until, after a certain number of years, it will become a new “Longevity Tree”.

However, it is not easy for the Longevity Tree, a higher-tier spirit seed holy tree, to reproduce offspring; the time accumulation and price it pays are not small.

Therefore, it might not be able to breed a “spirit seed” for few hundred years; most of the Longevity Fruits it produces only have pulp and no spirit seed core.

As such, when the “spirit seed” appeared, everyone’s eyes turned hot.

If one can obtain a Longevity Tree spirit seed, it can be raised into a Spirit Plant, especially suitable for becoming a “Life-bound Spirit Plant”.

It’s known, where the Longevity Tree takes root, will turn into a Gathering Spirit Land. Even if it takes root in some desert areas, overtime it would improve the soil by gathering the spirit, eventually transforming into a “Life Oasis”.
