After dealing with Ning Deshan, their storage bags naturally fell into Lu Xuan's hands.
In the end, Lu Xuan found several artifacts, talismans, and pills from them and their storage bags.
There were three third-grade artifacts: the shuttle-shaped artifact from Ning Deshan, the long ribbons from the old woman, and a third-grade flying sword.
There was also a damaged third-grade armor, pierced by bone spurs from the White Bone Demon Puppet, rendering it useless.
The rest were some second-grade artifacts.
From the two storage bags, Lu Xuan also found several third-grade talismans, all of average quality, and a few bottles of pills. Lu Xuan didn't have much knowledge of pills, but he recognized three common types among them.
"These two rogue cultivators have somewhat meager assets."
"There's nothing suitable for me to use, so I'll have to find an opportunity to sell them for spirit stones."
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.
At this moment, he further realized how fortunate he was to have the light rewards. Even the Foundation Establishment disciples in the sect couldn't have all third-grade and above artifacts and treasures, let alone the rogue cultivators in this archipelago.
With their assets and opportunities, having one or two third-grade artifacts was extremely common. So when this secret realm appeared, cultivators from the islands and surrounding areas rushed over to fight for the elusive opportunities it offered.
With his current assets, Lu Xuan could at least match the true disciples of the Tianjian Sect in terms of third and fourth-grade artifacts and treasures.
Although his reserves of third and fourth-grade artifacts and treasures might not be so abundant, they would be at least on par with each other.
A thought flashed through Lu Xuan's mind, and he shifted his attention to the spirit peach tree in front of him.
After concealing his figure, Lu Xuan learned from Ning Deshan's words that the spirit peaches were called Longevity Peaches, a fifth-grade spiritual plant. After swallowing them, they could add five to ten years to one's lifespan.
Although he understood the origin of the spirit peaches, Lu Xuan didn't dare to underestimate them. After all, the Unblemished Jade around his neck had been continuously emitting a refreshing coolness.
Standing up, Lu Xuan thoughtfully extended his spiritual awareness into the spirit soil. Then, he used the Earth attraction technique of the Grandmaster realm to subtly change the structure of the spirit soil near the roots of the Longevity Peach tree, thereby learning more detailed information about it.
【Aberrant Longevity Peach: A fifth-grade spiritual plant that mutated from a normal Longevity Peach to an evil and abnormal Longevity Peach. Hence, it constantly attracts the vitality of surrounding cultivators or demonic beasts, longing for their flesh and blood essence.】
【After maturing, the Aberrant Longevity Peach can extend one's lifespan when consumed. However, it will also accumulate evil energy in the consumer's body. When it reaches a certain level, it may pose a risk of mutation for cultivators or demonic beasts.】
"So it mutated into an evil spiritual plant. No wonder the Unblemished Jade reacted."
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.
"Whether it's the cultivation method or the effects of consumption, they're more sinister than before."
"However, as long as the grade remains the same, it's still a good spiritual plant."
For him, whether it was normal or abnormal, as long as it was a fifth-grade spiritual plant, it meant a generous reward of light. The type of spiritual plant was not so important.
As for the mature Aberrant Longevity Peaches, he had just harvested some Earth Fire Lotus seeds not long ago. After consumption, they could purify and remove the abnormal energy in the body, so he didn't have to worry about negative effects.
Not to mention, he was still young and didn't need to worry about his lifespan.
"However, in the cultivation world, lifespan is precious. Ning Deshan might have thought he found a great opportunity, but he didn't expect that these Aberrant Longevity Peaches are only seven parts effective and three parts poisonous, just a temporary relief."
After understanding the details of the spirit peach tree, Lu Xuan finally felt relieved. Carefully, he picked the remaining five pink and white spirit peaches from the Aberrant Longevity Peach tree.
As the spirit peaches rolled around in the silver plate, a fresh milky fragrance wafted through the air, carrying the most primitive and lively vitality within.
After picking all the Aberrant Longevity Peach spiritual fruits, under Lu Xuan's amazed gaze, the spirit peach tree slowly withered away, as if all the vitality within the plant had left with the falling fruits.
"It's not easy to survive in this medicinal garden for such a long time."
"Perhaps it's precisely because it mutated into Aberrant Longevity Peaches that it found a glimmer of hope and survived until now."
Lu Xuan sighed and summoned the Demon Ghost Vine, communicating with it through his mind.
"Try to sense if there are any Aberrant Longevity Peach seeds hidden in the spirit soil."
The tip of the Demon Ghost Vine's vines excitedly nodded, and then, its body continuously split into numerous gray tendrils, extending in all directions.
Soon, a gray tendril circled around the ground, sniffing around sneakily from time to time.
Then, with Lu Xuan's consent, it suddenly dove into the spirit soil.
Lu Xuan sensed through his spiritual awareness as the Demon Ghost Vine delved five or six meters underground and pulled out a strange object.
A dark red peach pit, embedded in a solidified flesh and blood mass, with grooves on its surface filled with flesh and blood essence, slowly flowing.
Inside the peach pit, a powerful vitality emanated, pulsating like a heartbeat.
"So it maintains its vitality in this way."
Lu Xuan sighed to himself.
After mutating into Aberrant Longevity Peaches, the fifth-grade Longevity Peach, unable to grow under normal conditions, relied on its instinct to propagate offspring. It wrapped the Longevity Peach seed in flesh and blood essence, deeply hidden in the spirit soil, nurturing the seed while isolating it from spiritual energy, preventing it from sprouting and growing.
"However, now that I've found it, there's no need to worry about whether it can grow smoothly. I will take care of you meticulously and let you mature as soon as possible."
He looked at the dark red peach pit in his hand and placed it into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
This trip to the medicinal garden had yielded the Aberrant Longevity Peach seed, a fifth-grade spiritual plant mutation. Along with the resolution of the considerable conflict with Ning Deshan, Lu Xuan was extremely satisfied.
However, he didn't intend to stop here and give up the opportunity to enter the mysterious palace.
After preparing for so long, breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and harvesting several high-grade spiritual plants, obtaining rare treasures such as the Void Nightmare Eye and the Pure Yang True Fire Scroll, how could he not seize the opportunity to enter the palace?
Although Lu Xuan was always cautious, at this moment, with so many treasures to protect him, his confidence reached its peak.
Therefore, with the Void Nightmare Eye constantly hovering around him, sometimes visible and sometimes invisible, closely monitoring the surroundings for any anomalies, he left the deserted medicinal garden quickly and headed towards the palace.
