Chapter 461: Seven Peaches Mountain

Shen Lian could not do much if Chen Qing chose not to leave.

He fixed his eyes on the painting. The portrait of the Daoist was no longer on the painting. The only thing left behind were some fire marks.

The True Samadhi Fire was the essence of all fires. Although the Daoist only left behind hints of the True Samadhi Fire, it was still something extraordinary. The scroll of painting was obviously not a decoration but to suppress a certain cold spirit.

After just a brief observation, Shen Lian noticed the oddness behind this place. Breaking this mystic block would release an air of suppressed cold sensation. Even if Chen Qing has been taking the spiritual fruit, her body was still not as strong as Han Ying. She would definitely suffer a little when the air of cold sensation was released.

Since her love to her son was so sincere, Shen Lian did not bother too much about her.

After three breathes, Shen Lian’s glabella opened a gap that resembled a hollow eye. A dash of silver light surged towards the empty scroll of painting and wiped clean of all the dust that was around the hall. The hall became extremely clean.

The empty scroll of painting started to expand and transformed into a door. A dash of cold air that was spine chilling came out from the painting.

Chen Qing could not withstand the chills as her teeth started to chatter. She finally understood Shen Lian’s intention of asking her to step out.

As the chills attacked the black tiger’s wound, it started to feel an unbearable numbness throughout its body.

The price it had to pay for being loyal was too high.

The black tiger’s body was able to withstand the chills but as the chills entered the open wound caused by the giant python, it made it really difficult for the black tiger.

Shen Lian felt the breath of the chills and secretly complimented it. It was only the Yin Sha spiritual hole that was capable of producing such refined cold hatred.

Shen Lian waited for the chills to disperse before asking Han Ying to carry him and proceed to enter.

Beyond the door was an entirely different world. The grass were lusciously green and there was a well in the middle of the grassland that oozed an air of forest chilliness.

When Shen Lian broke open the prohibition, there was a mountain thousand of miles away known as the Seven Peaches Mountain. The mountain was given such name because the mountain had a peach tree with seven peaches. The peaches hung on to the tree and had never once fell off it.

The Seven Peaches Mountain was once a war-torn battlefield and thus had countless lost souls. Ever since the peach tree started growing, the number of lost souls gradually reduced. Once, an ignorant woodcutter went up to the mountain and came across the seven peaches that shapeshifted into human faces. He was horrified by the sight and returned to the village and told other villagers about it. The villagers then formed a group and went to investigate together. But all they saw was a deep hole at the original spot of the peach tree.

People started spreading rumours that the peach tree left and became a spiritual being.

Three years ago, a fierce looking Daoist came to the mountain. The villagers were greatly intimidated by his looks and did not dare to come in contact with him. Soon after, the Daoist started to distribute holy water and healed the sick. The villagers eventually opened up to him and asked what can they do for him to return this favour.

The Daoist said that he wanted to set up a Tai Qing Daoist Temple at the original spot of the peach tree to worship Daoist Master Taishang and he would be the temple’s abbot.

The villagers were supportive and built him a temple within the next couple of days. The Daoist resided in the temple.

The villagers would frequent the temple to offer their incense while some would seek the Daoist for a divine reading. The Daoist would never refuse anyone who came and his readings were eighty to ninety percent accurate, as if he was a Buddha fairy in the mortal world. The villagers admired him more and more, and increased their offerings and worships sincerely.

With the presence of the Daoist and the temple, the Seven Peach Mountain was well protected by a ring of green Qi against idle trouble-maker demons.

The Daoist was meditating in the temple but he was awakened from the state of concentration. He thought to himself, “Xi Liang was such a deserted place with weak Qi of vitality. How can there be an expert that is capable of breaking the prohibition I set on Mount Jieyang.”

Mount Jieyang was one of his cultivation places. There was a Yin Gathering Fountain there and consuming the water of the fountain could help one shed their old body in exchange for new bones. He relied on a sip of the Yin Gathering Fountain to get rid of his filthy Qi to achieve his current cultivation accomplishments.

No matter how wonderful someone else’s home could be, nothing would beat the soil of your very own hometown.

After achieving what he wanted, the Daoist left Mount Jieyang to return to the Seven Peaches Mountain. Although Mount Jieyang was extremely deserted, it was indeed a good place, especially the Yin Gathering Fountain. If he would take in any disciples in the future, Mount Jieyang would be useful. That was why he put it so much effort to produce a Shape Shifting Elixir and fed it to his python pet. The giant python then shapeshifted into a human figure and was tasked to protect the Yin Gathering Fountain.

He knew that the giant python was cruel and menace, and thus he planted spiritual consciousness in the python. If anything odd was triggered in the python’s mind, the spiritual consciousness would be activated.

But now, the prohibition on the Yin Gathering Fountain was broken and the giant python too was annihilated.

It took him so much to achieve what he had today. In order to seek true techniques, he had endured so much hardship, and that was the reason why he was hesitating if he should or should not return to Mount Jieyang to see what was happening.

It was hard to ignore Mount Jieyang as he could not let go of the Yin Gathering Fountain.

Now that he failed to enter the state of concentration, he decided to make a ‘Thousand Miles Magical Travel talisman and get a delivery man to inquire about the situation of Mount Jieyang.

All cultivators of the heaven and earth had a universal promise that was to never easily kill the human race. As he attained Dao differently, he may not be able to avoid conflict if he encountered certain types of cultivator.

That was why he decided to hire a human to investigate for him and then decide on what actions he should take.

After all, the Yin Gathering Fountain would remain there and not run away.

It was just a pity that the giant python that he had put in so much effort into was dead. Things were starting to look more negative than positive.

Shen Lian looked at the well and knew of its value.

Chen Qing and Han Ying were already in their adulthood, their bones have stopped developing and they have completed puberty. But with this well, it has the potential to reshape the foundation, or at least it would be very helpful for his future path of cultivation.

Shen Lian looked at Chen Qing and asked, “Mother, is Mount Jieyang under our Xi Liang?”

Chen Qing replied, “The area a hundred miles radius surrounding the Xi Liang city are considered as our territory. Mount Jieyang too is no exception.”

Shen Lian responded, “That’s great. In the future if someone tried to take it back, we would never return it back to them. After all, this belonged to our ancestors.”

There were deeper meanings to his words.

Han Ying did not fathom fully but Chen Qing was able react to it. No one would build a manor out of the blue on a mountain. What Shen Lian was trying to say was if the original owner of the manor returned, he would never give the place back to the owner.

Initially, she thought that was inappropriate. They were seeking refuge here temporarily and would eventually return to the city of Xi Liang. Why would he want to forcefully take down this place?

But as she look at Shen Lian who looked like he had other plans, and considering that the Mount Jieyang belonged to Xi Liang anyway, it was not entirely right to say that they forcefully took down the place.

With the Yin Gathering Fountain, Shen Lian started to teach Chen Qing and Han Ying the basic methods of Qigong practices. It was also an improved version of the Shenzu Scripture that he has been reforming for the past few days.

Although Qing Xuan’s Shenzu Scripture was not the most refined techniques, it could turn dynamic power into static power that flowed from the external to the internal of the body. It could improve the condition of a person’s physical body and worked like a lubricant.
