You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 75 Peach
On the cushion was a peach pit.

It looked the same as the one he had crushed before.

Peach wood is mostly associated with warding off evil spirits, but it can also protect good souls to a certain extent. Peach wood and willow twigs can be seen in most legends about ghosts, so it doesn't seem surprising to see a peach pit here.

Looking down, from the appearance, this peach pit is no different from ordinary peach pits. It is also pointed at both ends and covered with holes.

However, the outermost layer of the peach pit is slightly reddish, like ruby.

Zuo Chen could feel a strong vitality from the peach pit. There was no doubt that this little thing was not just a treasure, but a real seed.

After carefully using his Qi to probe twice, Zuo Chen closed his eyes and began to sense the situation of the peach core.

He had no greed for the peach core. It was left there by someone else to protect the city, so Zuo Chen naturally could not take it away.

But curiosity is curiosity after all.

If I use some means to stimulate the growth of the peach pit and let it grow into a peach tree, will its protective effect be better?
After sensing for a few seconds, Zuo Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

There really is hope!
This peach core looks unknown, and even the Qi-watching technique cannot make out anything about it. But after actually seeing it and sensing it carefully, Zuo Chen discovered that it is actually a top-notch treasure!

The entire peach core was full of vitality, and inside it was wrapped in a layer of innate spiritual energy, the purity of which was only slightly different from that in Zuo Chen's stomach.

The only problem is that there are a lot of fine patterns carved on the outermost layer of the peach pit.

This pattern seemed to be a formation, with layers upon layers from old to new. After taking a quick look, Zuo Chen could sense that these carvings were all lower levels of "Flowers Blooming in an Instant", and their purpose was to make the peach pit grow.

However, although the craftsman who carved the walnut head had good skills, his ability was a little lacking. There were many inscriptions on the entire walnut, and the new and old ones even dragged down each other, forming a barrier that restricted growth.

Judging from the current situation alone, there is a little suspicion that good intentions may lead to bad results.

After repeatedly confirming that the peach core was only placed here to protect the town by its own "power", Zuo Chen stretched out his fingers and picked it up.

Speaking of which, the old man said that the young man had stayed in this mansion for an hour, but Zuo Chen did not see any magic arrangements...

He wouldn't be squatting here carving peach pits for an hour, would he?

I hesitated for an hour whether to put the peach core here.
Probably not.

Collecting his thoughts, holding the peach pit in his hand and weighing it carefully, Zuo Chen felt that he could choose a place to plant the peach pit.

Walking out of the house, Zuo Chen wrapped the peach pit with spiritual energy. In this way, the peach pit would not be so dazzling in the eyes of ghosts, so that he would not be able to stun all the ghosts in the city after taking this thing out.

The old man outside the house saw the light in the house suddenly dim, and his soul flickered twice in nervousness, but when he saw Zuo Chen coming out with a peach core, the old man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, what are you holding in your hand?" The old man came close to Zuo Chen, and seeing the peach pit in his hand, the old man had already guessed most of it.

"Old man, please find a suitable place. I will plant this peach tree."

……

Zuo Chen arrived at a corner of the city. This was the original observation tower. It was very high and one could see very far by standing on it.

The old man followed Zuo Chen up to the observation deck. If he were still alive, it would be difficult for him to climb up, but he was already dead, so he used his strength to jump up, crashing through the bluestone walls and onto the observation deck.

As Zuo Chen looked outside, he saw that the earth was all red. He sighed deeply and said nothing.

He turned to look at Zuo Chen and asked, "Master, do you want to arrange anything? Do you need us to send ghosts to guard here?"

"Not necessarily." Zuo Chen looked around outside the city, found a suitable place, and jumped down from the watchtower and walked towards that direction. The old man also followed him hurriedly and arrived outside the city.

Coming to this red land, the old man was obviously a little panicked. He subconsciously moved closer to Zuo Chen, as if he was afraid that some evil creatures would jump out from the ground and bite his nose.

Zuo Chen didn't care much about his image. He just half-knelt on the ground and pressed down the red soil with his hands.

Using Qi to sense, there was almost nothing under the soil, no signs of life. If normal plant seeds were planted here, the roots would probably rot.

But Zuo Chen could also feel some vitality coming from the earth.

He held up the peach pit in his hand, and then slapped it on the ground.

With a snap, the peach pit sank into the soil.

He mobilized the true Qi in his body and performed a magic trick to make the flower bloom in an instant. The peach kernel was stimulated by the true Qi and began to produce new green buds.

In the blink of an eye, a small seedling emerged from the barren ground and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a blink of an eye, the tree was tall enough for two people to stack on top of each other.

New buds appeared on the trees, swaying slightly.

The old man widened his eyes, having never seen such a mysterious ability. He looked at the tree again and suddenly realized that it was a bit like a child.

The peach tree was moving its branches slightly, looking around curiously. It soon "discovered" Zuo Chen, and extended its branches towards Zuo Chen affectionately. In the old man's eyes, it was like a child seeking a hug from his parents.

Zuo Chen tapped the trunk with his fingers, and the peach tree immediately exuded a satisfied scent.

Even the flower buds are about to bloom.

"I called you out because I hope you can cover up the ghost city and prevent evil people from disturbing the lives of the ghosts in the city." Zuo Chen said, "I left a Qi gathering array in your body. You can operate it on your own and practice on your own."

He paused, and then continued: "There may be thieves coming with some unique treasures. When that happens, you just need to activate your spiritual energy so that they can't find the city. If thieves get close to you, you can hit them with branches."

After Zuo Chen finished teaching, the peach tree was still confused, eight parts puzzled and two parts understood.

The only thing it seemed to know was that Zuo Chen was about to leave, so it stretched out its branches, trying to wrap around Zuo Chen's fingers and pull him.

Zuo Chen responded to the peach tree's action, but it was just like he was hooking his fingers with it. When he released his fingers, the peach tree still felt reluctant but still retracted its branches.

"You don't have to be so close to me. I'm not your master."

Although he said so, the peach tree seemed not to understand at all and continued to flirt with Zuo Chen.

Zuo Chen felt a little helpless.

Why does it feel like I'm stealing someone else's peach?
The old man who was watching nearby finally reacted at this moment. He came close to Zuo Chen and asked cautiously:
"Are you leaving us a peach fairy?"

As soon as he pushed away the peach tree branches, Zuo Chen heard the old man's words, and he fell into deep thought.

Peach trees should be monoecious.

It’s hard to tell whether this is a fairy or a boy.

But he certainly couldn't say that to the old man, so Zuo Chen could only nod:

"really."

After saying this, he did not want to continue talking about this matter. After calculating the time, Zuo Chen said:

"It's time for me to leave too."

"Master, I haven't asked you where you want to go. There is nothing good to go near Xuzhou. " The old man also turned his eyes away from the peach wood and asked Zuo Chen again:
"I plan to go to Xuzhou Center."

"Ah?" The old man's eyes widened immediately after hearing this:

"There are evil ghost troops over there! What are you doing there?"
