Chapter 339: One Year Later
One year later, the origin purifying peach fruits turned from green to orange.
The orange was lighter than a sunset and gave one a happy warm feeling.
"They are about to ripen." Xuan Ke said excitedly.
"We should get ready." Yu Nianzhen stated.
Although they cooperated with others to defeat the Death Flower Ascension Front, Yu Nianzhen didn’t believe them.
He worried that some of the others may have some ideas about the origin purifying peach fruits and he didn’t want to lose at the last moment.
"Nianzhen is right to worry." Yang Xu said and frowned.
With his powerful soul, he detected several strong existences hidden in the ancient forest.
"The Death Flower Ascension Front may intercept us after we grab the fruits. Although they can’t benefit from the fruits, they can prevent their enemies from benefiting." Li Futian warned and everyone agreed.
In this way, another month passed.
Just when everyone was starting to get a little impatient, the origin purifying peach tree began to absorb a lot of heaven and earth qi.
At the same time, the peach fruits changed from light orange to pink.
"It should be any time now." Bing Lan said and everyone became alert.
They kept most of their attention on the fruits and the remaining on the people around them.
When the origin purifying peach tree stopped absorbing the heaven and earth qi, a refreshing peach fragrance permeated the area.
"Now." Yang Xu shouted and everyone rushed into the formation.
They flew to the origin purifying peach fruit tree and each plucked a fruit.
When that was done, they didn’t linger.
They exited the formation and rushed towards the ancient palace.
However, the watching cultivators were not reconciled.
Along the way, the group of six suffered several attacks but none of them was in the mood to fight.
Instead, they activated their defence methods and continued to rush into the ancient palace.
From leaving the palace, entering the formation, taking the fruits, and rushing back, everything took less than a breath.
However, the six felt like they had worked hard for ten years.
By the time they entered the ancient palace, all of them were sweating and some had superficial injuries on their skin.
"That was terrible." Xuan Ke said and clutched his chest.
"We are luckier than some of the others." Yu Nianzhen said and everyone looked outside.
Like before, the outside was a battlefield.
Those who got the fruits were intercepted by others and several fights had broken out.
"Let’s hope that everyone manages to defend and keep their fruits." Li Futian said and sighed.
After that, the six did not stick around to watch the fun.
Instead, they separated and went to their training rooms for retreat.
"Good luck." Jiang Yue said while facing his husband.
"You too." Yu Nianzhen answered and the two smiled at each other.
With that, they closed their eyes and began to adjust their state.
When his condition reached its peak, Jiang Yue took out the origin purifying peach fruit and began to refine it.
A moment later, rich energy left the fruit and entered his body.
The energy was extremely warm which made every part of his body feel comfortable.
However, that was only at the beginning.
As soon as the energy reached the dantian, it formed a cocoon around his moon pearl origin.
Soon after, nine energy threads emerged from the cocoon and drilled into his moon pearl.
When this happened, Jiang Yue involuntarily screamed.
He felt like all the nerves in his body were exposed and someone was pricking them with needles.
Fortunately, Jiang Yue wasn’t the kind to give in.
He gritted his teeth, ignored the pain, and continued to refine the origin-purifying peach fruit.
Time passed in this way and his moon pearl began to change.
Originally, its appearance was a cloudy white.
After he refined the origin purifying peach fruit, the white clouds turned into grey smoke.
Although the moon pearl wasn’t as good-looking as before, Jiang Yue could clearly feel that its quality had improved.
At the same time, the grey dot on his purple star enlarged.
’More than half of my purple star is now grey.’ Jiang Yue observed and then put the matter to the back of his mind.
’What matters is that my talent has improved a lot.’ He thought and chuckled happily.
"Are you so happy?" A voice asked and Jiang Yue turned to Yu Niazhen.
"Can’t I be?" He asked as he tilted his head to the side.
"No, I am so happy." Yu Nianzhen said and a smile curled his lips.
"The effect of the origin purifying peach fruit is better than I expected." He continued.
"As expected of a rare heaven and earth treasure."
"Mmmmm."
After that, the two flirted for a while before leaving their room.
When they went to the main room, only Xuan Ke was waiting.
He was reclined on a sofa and reading a book with a bright smile on his face which betrayed his happy mood.
"Brother Xuan." Jiang Yue called as soon as they entered the room.
"Brother Jiang, Brother Yu, congratulations."
"Congratulations to you too." Jiang Yue said and the three laughed.
"What are you reading?"
"I will lend it to you." Xuan Ke said with a sly look on his face and without waiting for Jiang Yue’s response, he threw the book.
Initially, Jiang Yue was just making conversation and didn’t care too much about the book.
However, since it was thrown to him, he subconsciously looked at the cover.
"The tao of the body." He read and surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Is it a body refining technique book?"
"You could say that."
"Brother Xuan, you can’t lend this kind of book." Jiang Yue said with a frown on his face.
Although they were sworn brothers, sharing cultivation techniques was not something that could easily be done.
"I will give it back to you." Jiang Yue said and threw the book back.
"Brother Jiang doesn’t need to be polite. This book is common and not worth keeping secret." Xuan Ke insisted and threw the book.
"Are you sure?"
"I am sure."
With that assurance, Jiang Yue opened the book and immediately regretted it.
On the first page, there was a drawing of a man and a woman.
The two were in a red chamber which made it easy to deduce it was their wedding night.
In the animated drawing, their bodies were intertwined and the man was working extremely hard which made the woman blush and moan.
"Brother Jiang, the first page isn’t that good. The good stuff starts on page eleven. Quickly take a look."
When Jiang Yue heard that, the hand holding the book clenched.
Not for the first time, he had an overwhelming urge to beat and cripple his sworn brother.
Fortunately, he was still rational and forced himself to calm down.
With a bad smile on his face, he closed the book and walked toward Xuan Ke.
"What are you going to do?" Xuan Ke asked when he saw the dangerous look on the other’s face.
At the same time, he noticed Yu Nianzhen.
When Jiang Yue opened the book, Yu Nianzhen leaned in to take a look.
However, he didn’t expect to be assaulted and couldn’t help but be angry at Xuan Ke.
"Brother Jiang, you can think about it." Xuan Ke urged and continued.
"We are sworn brothers and can’t harm each other."
Unfortunately, his persuasions fell on deaf ears.
With every step that Jiang Yue took, Xuan Ke felt like he was getting closer to a bad end.
At a loss, he decided to escape but forgot that the ancient palace belonged to the two.
Before he took a few steps, he was controlled and Jiang Yue threw a formation disk at him.
In less than a breath, the formation activated and Xuan Ke was immediately trapped.
"I have been wanting to test this phantom formation disk for a while now. It’s good that he delivered himself to the door just when I was thinking about it." Jiang Yue muttered and took Yu Nianzhen’s hand.
"Azhen, come, let’s watch a good show."
With that, the two took a seat and Jiang Yue conjured a water mirror.
In the mirror, they saw Xuan Ke.
At the moment, he was lying on a big bed and dozens of beauties were lying with him.
"I finally have the harem of my dreams." Xuan Ke said and laughed manically.
At the same time, he grabbed one of the beauties and pinched her buttocks.
The girl blushed and snuggled closer while the other girls looked at her with jealousy.
"Brother Ke, your slave wants to please you." Another girl said and placed her hand between his legs.
"If you make your brother happy, your brother Ke will also make you happy."
When the girl heard that, she became shy and her small hand tightened around Xuan Ke’s little brother.
"Brother Ke can lay back and be happy." The girl said and Xuan Ke felt like he was doused in ice water.
