Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

"Husband, it's so beautiful~ can you make the entire peach tree bloom, please?" Under the peach tree, Tao Yao's joyful voice resonated. She looked stunning amidst the peach blossoms, like a blooming flower emitting a captivating fragrance.

"Mmm!" Li Su walked over, and as he approached, all the peach blossoms on the entire peach tree had already fully bloomed. Not only the entire peach tree but also the peach blossoms on the ten thousand acres of peach trees were in full bloom. Even the lingering glow of the setting sun seemed to pause for this exquisite moment. Such a beautiful scene left Tao Yao in awe.

"This is probably the most romantic thing. Thank you, my husband, ~" Tao Yao gently embraced Li Su. "Li Su, in the entire Canglan Realm, I'm afraid this peach tree has the longest history. By now, it has been alive for over ten thousand years and has developed some spiritual wisdom." A few days later, within the Returning Origin Sect, the voice of Peak Master Dieyun echoed.

In front of Li Su was a colossal peach tree. This peach tree reached a height of several hundred meters, and its trunk was incredibly robust. A peach tree growing so tall was quite astonishing! However, compared to the everlasting peach tree he saw in his dreams, this tree fell far short. The most memorable aspect of that particular peach tree wasn't its height but its sheer beauty and its astonishing momentum.

In one fragmented scene, a petal from that peach tree was enough to cut down the stars in the sky. If that were Tao Yao's original form, it would also illustrate the tremendous power she possessed before her reincarnation. This peach tree was quite extraordinary, having lived for over ten thousand years. However, the age of the tree was not infinite.

Every type of tree would undergo aging and eventually die after reaching a certain age. Take peach trees, for example. In the world before Li Su's transmigration, peach trees typically could only live for around twenty years. In barren places, they might start aging around fifteen to sixteen years. However, there were also some tree species that, even in the world before Li Su's transmigration, could live for several hundred or even thousands of years.

But that was not the case for peach trees. In the Canglan Realm, due to the presence of spiritual energy, the lifespan of peach trees was longer. However, peach trees that lived for several hundred years were relatively rare, and those exceeding a thousand years were extremely uncommon.

"We intentionally cultivated this tree. Master Xu Feng from the Spirit Medicine Garden has been doing such experiments, constantly testing the lifespan of ordinary plants. Master Xu Feng sent people to plant tens of thousands of peach trees, and only this one grew," said Peak Master Dieyun. At this moment, someone flew over, and Li Su recognized that it was indeed Master Xu Feng.

This was an elder in the early stage of virtual refinement, with profound research on various spirit herbs, elixirs, and spiritual plants. "This peach tree can live for over ten thousand years, which is truly not easy. Just like humans face calamities, these plants that live for an extended period are not without their own calamities. Look at the trunk on its right side. A rolling thunderbolt split it," Master Xu Feng explained.

Li Su walked towards the peach tree and placed his hand on its trunk, sensing it. Indeed, this peach tree had gained spiritual wisdom, but the wisdom was very weak. If described in terms of intelligence, the intelligence of this peach tree would be equivalent to that of a one or two-year-old child. Of course, there were still differences.

Human intelligence and the spiritual wisdom of this plant were quite different in their manifestations. If this peach tree continues to live, one day, it could become as powerful as the Peach Immortal before its reincarnation. However, the likelihood of this was very small. It was already difficult for humans to become immortals, let alone a peach tree.

"I need to extract some of its sap," Li Su said. "Go ahead, as long as you don't take too much, it should be fine," Master Xu Feng said. Li Su's true energy infiltrated the peach tree, and soon, he found the sap at the core of the tree. It could be seen that with his actions, all the branches of the peach tree trembled. This tree, indeed, had a spirit… In fact, the peach tree was not considered a spiritual plant. It was just an ordinary tree.

Like some advanced spiritual herbs, after reaching a certain age, they would also develop spiritual wisdom. They would actively avoid cultivators and hide on their own. For example, there was a type of spiritual ginseng. Ginseng, which had been growing for over ten thousand years, was not easy for Nascent Soul cultivators to catch. These creatures were slipperier than eels.

"Don't be afraid, I'm only taking a small portion," Li Su reassured. After soothing the peach tree with his divine sense, Li Su took about a quarter of the sap. Then, he made another trip to South Jiang, where he found some necessary items. Once done with that, Li Su visited the Xuantian Academy. Inside the Xuantian Academy, there were no peach trees that had grown for over ten thousand years. The oldest one had only been growing for a little over eight thousand years.

"Ten thousand years ago, there was a peach tree that was close to reaching twenty thousand years, but unfortunately, it was struck by lightning and died. We couldn't protect it despite our efforts," said an elder in the later stages of Nascent Soul at the Xuantian Academy. Li Su also took some sap and then searched for some spiritual herbs within the Xuantian Academy. After that, he hurriedly returned to the Northern Territory.

This time, he went alone and traveled at full speed. The round trip took less than a month. "Tao Yao will, at most, stay dormant for two more times. I can't take risks; let's settle it in the next cycle," Li Su said to himself upon returning. Once back, he started refining pills. His efficiency was at its peak, and in just a few days, he successfully refined a special pill.

The pill lacked a name. It was Li Su's own creation. Utilizing the sap from the two peach trees and adding some spiritual herbs, Li Su concocted this unique pill.

"Husband, what is this?" Tao Yao asked curiously as Li Su always kept her close to avoid missing her moments of dormancy.

"Come and see," Li Su invited.

Li Su brought Tao Yao back to his cave, activated the restrictions, and asked her to take a bath. Thinking it might lead to intimacy, Tao Yao blushed and complied. However, Li Su was waiting for her in the peach blossom garden, and they strolled through it hand in hand.

A month ago, Li Su allowed the peach blossoms to bloom, coloring the area crimson. Spending days in the peach blossom garden, Li Su told Tao Yao stories of how a peach tree could become immortal.

Though the dream provided limited information, Li Su's imagination filled in the gaps. Tao Yao, captivated by the stories, became fascinated.

"Tao Yao, take this," Li Su handed the crafted pill to Tao Yao, who swallowed it without hesitation.

The pill dissolved, spreading through her body, but Li Su controlled its effects using his true energy. Tao Yao, unaware of any anomalies, continued to explore the garden with Li Su. They set up a tent amid the orchard, creating a unique and delightful atmosphere.
