I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Thousands of miles away from the South Mountain Pavilion, there stands a magnificent peak.

The mountain is not tall, but springs burble, flowers bloom in profusion, the environment is serene, and the cool breeze is refreshing and pleasant.

Atop the mountain is a dense bamboo forest, with bamboos as green as jade, gleaming brilliantly.

Not only that, each bamboo has holes of varying shapes and sizes. When the mountain wind arises and blows through the bamboo forest, the holes vibrate and merge to produce a melodious, light-hearted tune.

When the wind comes from the south, the music is gentle and soft; when it comes from the north, the tune is melodious and invigorating.

No technique or playing is needed; the bamboo forest releases a myriad of tunes throughout the year, extraordinary and otherworldly.

Beyond the bamboo forest lies a delicate and tranquil courtyard, where a freely blooming enchanted peach tree stands, each petal shimmering with spiritual light, like pink jewels, crystalline and translucent.

The peach blossoms are not only beautiful but also possess an indescribable, profound aura. Cultivators below the Golden Core, if they glance more than twice, succumb to a bewildered heart and mind.

This is a Tier Three enchanted peach tree!

At this moment, in the courtyard, beneath the peach tree, at the stone table and chairs, sit two extremely beautiful figures, sipping tea and conversing.

”The esteemed Sword Fox Immortal, what brings you to my Rotten Peach Mountain?!”

”Is it perhaps for demon-slaying?”

Behind the stone table, a woman with a face like peach blossoms, draped in a sheer veil, voluptuously alluring, like a ripe honey peach, speaks coldly.

”Fellow Daoist Peach Blossom need not be alarmed. I have come today merely to request ten petals of the Absorption Flower.”

From behind the stone table, an exceptionally beautiful woman with an icy temperament, as pale as snow, responded.

”Absorption Flower? What do you need this flower for?”

The beautiful woman, known as ”Peach Blossom,” asked in surprise.

The Absorption Flower is a unique Tier Three Spirit Flower of her Rotten Peach Mountain. Its petals can absorb a cultivator’s distracting thoughts and desires, keeping the heart and mind clear, preventing heart demon intrusion. It’s a valuable exotic treasure in cultivation.

However, this flower is generally used by those with weak heart nature. Those with true resilience of heart and will, why would they need this flower?

Being unable to control one’s own distractions, they can only be considered a waste in cultivation.

Yet the woman before her, with supreme cultivation and an icy temperament, devoid of desires, appearing most otherworldly, why would she need this flower?

”It’s merely for the sake of a disciple’s cultivation!”

Sword Fox Immortal replied indifferently.

”Which prodigy would be worth the great Sword Fox Immortal coming from afar personally for flowers?”

The Peach Blossom woman was somewhat curious.

”A still mind starts to think; it’s just right to wander around a bit.”

Sword Fox Immortal slightly shook her head.

These words were not false. Recently, during cultivation, there’s been a persistent feeling of irritability, finding it difficult to enter a meditative state.

Previously, she acquired the Heart-breaking Grass, her mind should be clear, lacking desire, not influenced by physique.

After much thought, only one explanation remained: too long spent in meditation required worldly travels.

This was also a common occurrence.

After all, cultivators are also human. Spending endless years in one mountain can lead to boredom and frustration, necessitating movement, or demon-slaying to unleash and vent.

Thus, she left Jade Pot Peak, wandering around, and slew countless unheeding demons within a thousand-mile radius, even a Great Demon who used evil techniques to break through was vanquished under her sword.

For a time, within a thousand miles, countless demons shivered with fear.

Therefore, the Peach Blossom woman initially spoke sarcastically, revealing dissatisfaction.

If you’re in a bad mood, slaying demons everywhere, have you considered us demons’ feelings?

However, the woman before her was not only a superlative combat power as a Golden Core Cultivator but also an Elder of the Cyan Peak Daoist School, backed by a formidable entity, so despite her dissatisfaction, she couldn’t go too far.

”The Absorption Flower’s production is scarce. Previously, Master Jiuyi of the Sunset Glow Sect came to request them, now only three petals remain!”

The Peach Blossom woman snorted lightly, but in the end, waved her jade hand, producing three peculiar petals, as pink as jade.

”Thank you, Fellow Daoist!”

Sword Fox Immortal thanked her, showing no dissatisfaction.

Today she happened to pass by, recalled the female disciple cultivating at the foot of her mountain, hence came to request the flower; whether she succeeded or not, she did not care.

Merely strolling around.

”Buzz buzz buzz!”

Sword Fox Immortal, intending to retrieve pills from the Qiankun Jade Bracelet on her wrist to exchange for the flower, suddenly felt a small compass at her waist gently tremble, as if sensing something.

”Oh?”

Sword Fox Immortal showed a look of surprise, channeling mana, causing the compass to rise into the air.

”Buzz buzz buzz!”

On the compass, countless golden virtual lines trembled incessantly, finally shaking violently, pointing in a direction.

Not only that, but the virtual lines also held a tinge of red color.

The color grew more crimson, vibrant, as if about to drip with blood.

”The Three Instruments Fortune and Misfortune Spirit Disc?”

”Blood-like Spirit Pattern, this is a great omen of misfortune!”

”Is this your disciple?”

Seeing the golden compass, the Peach Blossom woman couldn’t help but look up in surprise and ask.

”Bang!”

Before her, Sword Fox Immortal had already vanished in a bang, disappearing into a bubble.

”In such a hurry?”

”The Spirit Pattern is filled with masculine energy, clearly reflecting a male. Didn’t she never take male disciples?”

Watching the disappearing woman and the masculine energy suffusing the Spirit Pattern, the Peach Blossom woman couldn’t help but mutter, somewhat puzzled.

...

...

”Boom!”

The mountains vast, the land like a chessboard.

Gu Yuan dared not relax in the slightest, recklessly channeling mana into the Divine Wind Shuttle beneath him.
