Chapter 0005: The Pan Peach, a product of the celestial realm?

Master

Although she has never met one, Li Yixi believes that practitioners must be like this

Six thousand years of ripening, when one consumes it, one ascends to the skies, achieving immortality

Do you remember the past?

Shen Qing said with a serious expression

Shen Qing felt somewhat dazed, as this was simply an unbelievable situation

Although this place is not Earth, the flat peaches above Earth are merely ordinary items. Is it possible that this world truly lacks them

If you do not know, then let me explain it to you

This calligraphy is merely a casual creation, quite trivial, intended to express some memories, and is not worth mentioning. Li Yixi felt helpless and was too lazy to explain.

Li Yixi walked over and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat, make yourselves comfortable"

Su Feixuan's friend indeed possesses exceptional skills in the guqin. Li Yixi, feeling bored, perhaps attracted by this, hurriedly said something that could make Li Yixi happy

In legend, the Pan Tao is not an ordinary object, but a treasure of the celestial realm

The two individuals have been completely subdued; this truly is a divine object

However, the two individuals were quite nervous; the supreme being actually went to prepare fruit for them. Is this really appropriate

It seems that the senior is indeed enjoying a mundane life, perhaps reminiscing about some past events, and we must not disturb them

Shen Qing and Su Feixuan looked at the flat peaches with some confusion, as they had never encountered flat peaches before. They kept pondering what kind of spiritual fruit this was that belonged to the young master

Su Feixuan was quite wary of the terrifying power of calligraphy and painting, yet who among cultivators does not yearn for the Dao

Li Yixi brought over the flat peaches, which had just been picked from the orchard. The flat peaches were not yet ripe and were still green

Master Su Feixuan gasped in surprise, her beautiful eyes weakly gazing at Li Yixi.

According to legend, the Pan Tao Garden of the Queen Mother of the West contains 3,600 peach trees. The first 1,200 trees bear small flowers and fruits, maturing once every 3,000 years; those who consume them attain immortality and enlightenment. The middle 1,200 trees mature once every 6,000 years; those who eat them ascend to the heavens and achieve eternal life. The last 1,200 trees have purple veins and fine pits, maturing once every 9,000 years; those who consume them live in harmony with heaven and earth, sharing the same lifespan as the sun and moon.

One can only speak in hushed tones

Su Feixuan is a practitioner, and eight or nine of her friends are also practitioners. Although Li Yixi can play the piano, she does not dare to communicate with practitioners about musical instruments.

Li Yixi did not speak immediately; instead, she pondered for a moment, preparing her words.

At this moment, Su Feixuan secretly surveyed the surrounding items. Previously, she had only encountered the calligraphy and paintings, which had left her in awe, and she had not truly examined anything else. Upon seeing an ancient zither placed in the pavilion outside the hall, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you enjoy playing the zither, young master"

Su Feixuan is feeling somewhat better

It is truly incredible

The mundane price indeed tarnishes the sacred object

At this moment, Shen Qing became even more anxious than Su Feixuan, losing her composure and not knowing what to do, as she had unexpectedly obtained such a divine object

Your cultivation is somewhat lacking, so naturally you cannot see it. In the future, you will come to understand the preciousness of calligraphy and paintings

They have heard that many senior masters possess extraordinary skills and enjoy disguising themselves as ordinary people to experience the world. Today, I unexpectedly encountered one of them

Cough cough

Shen Qing was extremely satisfied with these words, as Su Feixuan's friend was the most accomplished person in guqin that she had ever encountered

Are you certain that you have never encountered the flat peach?

Who knows whether the so-called communication of practitioners will emit sound waves, which could directly cause one to die from the shock, that would be quite unjust

It is merely a pastime during my leisure, with no guests around, making it rather dull for one person said Li Yixi casually

Master, do you remember the name of the predecessor

The Nine Heavens Spiritual Liquid, now once again welcoming the fruits, does not evoke disdain from the esteemed individuals

However, Shen Qing and Su Feixuan do not share such thoughts; when a master speaks, it is a blessing for them, a tremendous blessing

Li Yixi fell into deep thought, while changing his words.

Shen Qing is still very eager for this knowledge

Shen Qing hurriedly said

Li Yixi asked curiously

However, in this manner, the way it falls into the eyes of the two individuals has also changed. At this moment, Li Yixi seems to merge with the heavens and the earth; the heavens and the earth are him, and he is the heavens and the earth.

Li Yixi smiled, unaware that after spending a moment with the other person and not speaking for a long time, she had become quite talkative.

Nine thousand years for one ripening, humans live in harmony with heaven and earth, sharing the same longevity as the sun and moon

Young master, we indeed have not encountered the Pan Tao, and we are unaware of its origins. Could you enlighten us about the history of this Pan Tao

Su Feixuan said with a serious expression

Coming here may perhaps earn the favor of Li Yixi

Su Feixuan changed her tone and said: "Master, the young master's calligraphy is naturally extraordinary and transcends those so-called masters. This piece of art, I believe, if sold, will undoubtedly fetch an astronomical price. No, it cannot be described by price, as that would only tarnish the artwork. This piece, I believe, is a priceless treasure."

At this moment, Su Feixuan is much more composed.

The more one knows, the greater the fear becomes

This is ?

Upon reaching this point, both individuals dared not to breathe, their hearts were tense to the utmost, filled with both excitement and apprehension

In Li Yixi's eyes, practitioners traverse the heavens and the earth, akin to immortals, and how could an ordinary person like herself engage in communication with them

Feixuan, it is still your wisdom; otherwise, the master would likely have caused trouble

Master, does this calligraphy truly embody the great principles?

My own disciple is indeed clever, yet I almost caused trouble myself

Not knowing, instead, does not invoke fear

However, all of this is true

Shen Qing looked at Su Feixuan, her eyes filled with joy

Li Yixi, with Li likely being the surname of the senior, the two characters 'Yixi' refer to recalling the past. The Nine Heavens Spiritual Liquid has bestowed upon us, repeatedly reminding us that this is pure water. Master, the senior must be a figure standing at the pinnacle of the firmament, or perhaps an existence that dominates the heavens. Their appearance here at this moment must be a desire to transform into a mortal and reminisce about mortal life. We absolutely cannot refer to this as a divine object, for that would surely provoke the senior's displeasure. Let us address the senior as 'Young Master' instead, as it seems they are not particularly averse to that.

Three thousand years of ripening, one consumes it to become an immortal and attain the Dao

The two individuals dared not leave, feeling quite apprehensive

Such a strange fruit, she saw for the first time

This is a flat peach, have you never seen one before

Feixuan, this is the Nine Heavens Spirit Liquid, how should I express my gratitude to you, senior

Miss Su, you have left me utterly embarrassed

Su Feixuan remained so composed that Shen Qing quickly signaled to her, attempting to establish a connection with Li Yixi. Su Feixuan promptly replied: "I have a friend who has immersed herself in the art of music for many years. How about I bring her next time to have a discussion with you, young master"

Shen Qing and Su Feixuan seemed to have naturally discovered a tremendous secret, staring incredulously at Li Yixi.

Upon arriving at the door, Li Yixi happened to hear these words, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth

At this moment, Li Yixi spoke earnestly, yet did not pay attention to the expressions of the two individuals from his previous life.

In the celestial realm, the third day of the third month is the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West. On this day, the Queen Mother of the West holds a grand celebration, with peaches as the main dish, inviting all the immortals to come and wish her longevity

It is very common in my hometown

The expressions of the two individuals seem to be genuine

One naturally wants to know the origins, perhaps it will be of great use in the future

Li Yixi waved his hand and smiled wryly, saying, "Let's forget it; I only have a superficial understanding of it."

What Li Yixi did not know was that although Shen Qing had just begun to engage with the Dao, the aura of the Dao was surprisingly permeating the peach of immortality, which was undoubtedly a divine object, how could Shen Qing not be wary of it

Such a profound power of the Dao is merely expressed casually, as a means to articulate emotions, a trivial technique

Amid the anticipation of the two individuals, Li Yixi finally spoke

Why can't I see it

Ah? Alright. Shen Qing seemed somewhat distracted.

After all, she had been shocked before, and seeing her master so tense at this moment made her feel considerably more composed

The Nine Heavens Spiritual Liquid, in Shen Qing's memory, was an existence belonging to divine objects, something she had only seen in ancient texts and had never heard of appearing anywhere. It was an item from mythology. However, now, not only had she seen it, but she had also consumed it

Su Feixuan wanted to speak further, but was signaled by Shen Qing. Su Feixuan hurriedly retracted what she was about to say, as the young master was a "mortal" and naturally could not mention any treasures.

At this moment, Li Yixi had already set down the peaches he was holding and smiled, saying: "Please enjoy, both of you. They are not yet ripe, but they are quite sweet at this time."
