The eldest brother could see that Xueli suddenly became energetic, as if she was interested and somewhat pleased. He smiled and explained, "This Xuanri Yan Fruit has a history. It is said that in the east of the Far East, there is an ancient sacred tree called Yan Tree. It has been born under the sun's rays since the creation of the world, bathing in the sun's brilliance day and night, so it has absorbed a portion of the sun's divine power. Regardless of the cold or heat, the tree body is always warm. The Yan Tree bears fruit once every hundred years, and only one fruit is produced each time. The fruit is also naturally endowed with the aura of the sun. It feels warm when touched, and it is radiant, like a little sun."
Xue Li already knew all this, so there was no need for anyone else to explain. Although she came out this time mainly to look for the trace of the giant snow wolf, she had actually been concerned about the Xuanri Yan Fruit for a long time.
As long as he can get the Xuanri Yan Fruit and find the giant snow wolf, he will be able to cure his cold!
Xue Li couldn't help but ask: "Really? Do you really have the Xuanri Yan Fruit? Have you been to the East of the Sunrise?"
The eldest brother shook his head and said, "No, that's not the case. After all, it's a place for immortals. We are just mortals who practice Taoism and cannot go there. However, our Xinglin Peak is a famous medical school with a history of thousands of years. Several of our ancestors have achieved Taoism and become immortals. After they became immortals, they never forgot their master. Sometimes, every few hundred years, the master would receive things sent back by the immortals. Therefore, we have a lot of these precious divine fruits in our warehouse. Although most of us don't use these immortal medicinal materials, everyone says that they are gifts given by the immortal ancestors to show their care for the younger generation. The Xuanriyan Fruit that the peak master took out this time is one of them."
He paused for a moment, and then continued, "But it's called the Mysterious Sun Flame Fruit... Actually, we haven't seen the real thing, so we don't know if this one is real. The Immortal Ancestor never gives instructions when sending things, so we just make groundless guesses based on the appearance in the legend. Even if we get the herbs, we can't figure out how to make an elixir, and it doesn't really have any real effect. But the Peak Master brought it out to encourage everyone and to give the winner a good start."
Ah Jincai pouted and said, "What about the divine fruit? It's useless and not very delicious. Five years ago, Master Uncle won the fruit and he cut it up to share with everyone. I shamelessly tried it and it didn't taste good at all!"
The eldest brother said helplessly: "You were young at that time, and everyone gave it to you because they saw you were greedy, but you still complained about it."
Ah Jin said, "But what I said is right! After all, the prize is secondary. The most important thing is to beat the Red Shirt Clan! We must beat the Red Shirt Clan!"
When Ah Jin talked about having a fight with the Red Clothes Sect, he immediately rubbed his hands together.
Xue Li was stunned when she heard this. From the conversation between the two Xinglin Peak brothers and sisters and the Xuanri Yan Fruit, it seemed that the immortal masters gave them very good immortal medicinal herbs, but mortals didn't know how to use them, so they just opened them and ate them.
Although the eldest senior brother also said that he didn't know whether this was the real Xuanri Yan Fruit, even so, it was worth a try.
Xueli interrupted them and asked, "From what you said, the Xinglin Association should be open to casual cultivators. If someone from outside the Xinglin Peak wins the Xinglin Association, the Xuanri Yan Fruit should also be given as a gift, right?"
The eldest brother nodded and said, "Of course."
But he immediately added: "However, this situation has never happened before since the Xinglin Association was held thousands of years ago. Xinglin Peak has the inheritance of the immortal family, countless good teachers, and the protection of the immortal ancestors. It is almost impossible for a casual cultivator to defeat a disciple of our sect."
Xue Li made a prompt decision and said, "Then I will go to Xinglin Peak with you! I want to sign up for the Xinglin Club."
When they heard that Xue Li decided to go together, several disciples were delighted!
However, the eldest brother was happy first, and then he heard that Xueli seemed to be moved by the "Xuan Ri Yan Fruit" he mentioned, and couldn't help but remind her: "But the Xuan Ri Yan Fruit can only be obtained by the final winner... Although the old predecessors of the master generation will not come out to compete with the younger generation, the masters who are one or two generations older than us will still participate, and there are also the champions of the previous sessions, who are as strong as clouds. The fairy doesn't look very old, I wonder how old she is... ?"
Xueli replied: "Sixteen."
When this age comes out, everyone becomes quiet.
Although there is a huge gap between immortals and mortals, medicine needs to be passed down. Xue Li, who was born in the immortal world, how much knowledge and experience can she have even if she has been learning medicine since she was a child? Even though she just killed an evil demon with three needles, they have never seen her medical skills, so they still don't think she can easily surpass the masters who are like gods in the eyes of the younger generation.
But when the age of sixteen was revealed, everyone was still shocked. Even if they had never been to the fairyland, when they thought of the black snake, they guessed that Xue Li must be very talented.
Sixteen years old, this age is considered very young even among the younger generation like them, only slightly older than junior sister Ajin.
The eldest brother felt dizzy for a moment, but he still kindly reminded her, "Although the fairy is a fairy, she is still young after all, and her experience may not be as good as that of the masters of the various peaks. If the fairy is determined to win, she may..."
"I know."
Xueli nodded seriously.
She was not a proud and complacent person. In her eyes, although her aunt was a mortal, her medical skills were far beyond her reach. Xinglin Peak was also her aunt's former master's school. Even though she did not like Xinglin Peak because of her aunt, she would not underestimate the enemy.
There may be talented people among mortals, and some doctors who practice Taoism may ascend to heaven. Maybe there will be powerful people among the competitors this time.
Seeing that, although Xue Li was young, she was not as arrogant as A Jin, the eldest brother felt slightly relieved and developed some admiration for Xue Li.
He said, "Xinglin Peak is just ahead, we will be there soon."
The eldest brother was right. Xinglin Peak was indeed not far from the forest where they were.
After Xue Li decided to go with them, they no longer had to stay near the village. The group took Xue Li and focused on the journey, and soon they saw the peak.
Xinglin Peak is located in the clouds of the mountains. It has one main peak and more than a thousand small peaks, stretching for thousands of miles. As soon as Xue Li and her disciples entered the Xinglin Peak, they saw apricot flowers blooming all over the mountain. The top of the mountain seemed to be covered with pink and white snow, and a sweet fragrance was blowing in the face. The mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the sea of peaks and clouds seemed to have no end. The scene was very spectacular.
Xue Li didn't have much of a fondness for Xinglin Peak, but she was not without curiosity about the place where her aunt used to live. As soon as she reached the top of the mountain, she couldn't help but look around in amazement.
In the past, her impression of the mortal world was always trees and grass. Seriously speaking, this was the first time she entered a place where mortals lived and the first time she saw the real life of mortals.
The eldest brother kindly explained to her, "The apricot tree is a tree of medicine. The apricot blossoms are beautiful and elegant. The kernels and flesh of the apricots are both edible and medicinal, which is in line with the principles of medicine. Apricot trees are planted all over Xinglin Peak. These are specially cultivated using Taoist techniques and will bloom all year round. There are also seasonal apricot trees planted in the medicine garden, which just produced fruit a while ago."
Sydney was indeed very surprised.
Xueli used to live a secluded life. Although she knew that all mortals in the world had the dream of becoming immortals, she had never really seen the mortal world, so her imagination was inevitably lacking. She always thought that since mortals wanted to become immortals, maybe there was no immortal world in the mortal world. But now she saw that although mortals had birth, aging, sickness and death, they lived a fulfilling and comfortable life.
For example, Xinglin Peak looked much larger than the little fairyland where she and her aunt lived.
Xueli looked at it in surprise.
At this time, the eldest senior brother also led her on the way and said, "It's still a while before we reach Xinglin Peak, so you can stay in our guesthouse first. I'll let Ah Jin take you there to put your things down, and then I'll accompany you to Xinglin Peak... Also, all visitors to Xinglin Peak and those who attend the Xinglin Meeting must go to the peak's steward to make a record, so I may have to trouble you to move there later."
Xueli nodded in understanding.
The eldest brother turned around and said to the youngest sister, "Ah Jin, it's not convenient for me to enter the guesthouse for the ladies. You can take Fairy Xueli in to have a look."
A Jin always looked reluctant, but she secretly glanced at Xue Li, stamped her feet, and still took her in awkwardly.
"Here it is."
A Jin took Xueli to the top of a mountain, opened the door, and gave her the key.
"This guesthouse is the closest to the house where our Qingyi Sect lives, and it is also very convenient for travel. The eldest brother specially picked it for you."
Xue Li walked in curiously.
The guesthouse is the same as other places in Xinglin Peak seen from the outside. There are many apricot flowers planted outside. Because they are decorative flowers, they are also in full bloom. The guesthouse is not too big, but it has three rooms, a bedroom, a living room, and a study. The study in Xinglin Peak is different from other places. It is very suitable for the use of the medical immortal. There is also a yard outside the house. It is very clean inside and out.
While Xueli was looking around the house, Ajin was also secretly looking at Xueli.
Xueli is so beautiful and she is a fairy. It is the first time for Jin to see a real fairy. Although she doesn't know how to get along with Xueli, she actually wants to talk to her.
Ah Jin couldn't help but ask, "Um... Xueli! What is the fairyland like? I've seen many of my senior brothers and sisters, and my master, they've all become couples. What about the fairyland? Can you get married in the fairyland? And for those who got married in the mortal world, will they remain the same after arriving in the fairyland?"
Xue Li was stunned by her questions, but she couldn't answer any of A Jin's questions.
Xue Li has just arrived in the mortal world and has not seen other fairylands and the Nine Heavens. Although she also grew up in a fairyland, she can probably guess that the fairyland she grew up in is probably not the fairyland that A Jin wants to know about.
So Xueli shook her head and answered honestly: "I don't know."
"Eh?"
A Jin didn't expect that Xue Li, who looked like an immortal, would say this. The first thing that came to his mind was "the secret cannot be revealed". Although it was understandable, he felt that Xue Li was just perfunctory, so he raised his mouth high.
But Xueli herself was absent-minded for a moment.
When Ajin asked her about getting married in the fairyland and matters of love, the big snow wolf unconsciously emerged in her mind.
That stormy night, the way he looked at her, his sincere and resolute words, the pair of swords he gave her, and...
"My name is Zi Lan."
"—I adore you."
The other party's voice seemed to ring in my ears.
Xueli blushed unconsciously.
She suddenly found something in her hand, and then she realized that when she was distracted, she actually took out the black sword that Zi Lan gave her from the brocade bag she used as a bag. This sword was very valuable at first glance, and Xueli didn't even tell her aunt, and she still carried it with her when she left the fairyland.
The most urgent party affairs are to find Zi Lan first and get the Xuanri Yan Fruit.
Xue Li calmed herself down and quickly put the sword away carefully. Then she turned back to look at A Jin, indicating that she had finished it.
They quickly returned to the outside of the peak.
As expected, the eldest brother and others were standing not far from the guest house waiting for them. When they saw Xueli and Ajin coming out, they waved at them and said, "Here."
The author has something to say: Wolf Qiuqiu: Fox Qiuqiu hasn't been out much yet. When I pick her up, I will take her out to play more.
