Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 212: The Last Peach
Chapter 212: The Last Peach
After signing a taoist contract, couples could share qi and soul power.
However, they couldn’t achieve a seamless combination.
Most importantly, a couple needed a short period of adjustment before they could cautiously fuse their qi or soul power.
Because of this, it was difficult to use the sharing technique during a battle or delicate situation.
After refining the love peach king, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu could now achieve a perfect combination.
Not only did they not need to be cautious when sharing their qi and soul power, but the result of their combination was more than the sum of their individual qi or soul power.
This was a typical example of one plus one is more than two.
"This is good." Shen Xu exclaimed when he heard the explanation but soon frowned.
"Brother Yuan, can your qi be shared?" He asked.
"It can be shared." Zhen Yuan said in a solemn voice.
Although he only had one drop of qi, the drop was equivalent to an ocean.
"That’s good." Shen Xu smiled and quickly continued.
"What other effects does the love peach king have?"
"We will be more sensitive to each other from now on. Also, if you comprehend something, I will have an easier time comprehending it and vice versus."
"What do you mean?" Shen Xu didn’t quite understand this effect.
"You are a fire spiritual root cultivator and have a predetermined destiny with the fire dao. When you begin comprehending the fire dao, you will only need half the effort to achieve twice the result when comprehending the laws I have already comprehended. The same is true for me. I will only need half the effort to comprehend the laws you have already comprehended."
"Can I only comprehend the fire dao?" Shen Xu asked but Zhen Yuan shook his head.
"I used the fire dao as an example because you have the chaos fire spiritual root. However, there are three thousand ways and there is no telling how many ways you are destined for."
"Good." Shen Xu nodded, feeling a little excited.
’I made a lot of profit by marrying Zhen Yuan.’ He thought and chuckled.
After all, he had read the book and knew comprehending the dao was an extremely difficult thing.
However, comprehending the dao was as simple as breathing for Zhen Yuan.
When the time came, wouldn’t Shen Xu make a lot of profit?
"Are you happy?" Zhen Yuan asked and Shen Xu immediately nodded.
"As expected, my brother Yuan is a priceless treasure. I must have saved ten thousand galaxies to accumulate enough luck to marry you in this life."
Zhen Yuan laughed when he heard this.
"I am also very lucky. I would have gone through this life alone if you didn’t appear in my life."
"How do you know? Maybe you would have met someone along the way to the peak." Shen Xu said in a resentful voice.
Although that didn’t happen, he still felt uncomfortable when he imagined Zhen Yuan with someone else.
"Impossible." Zhen Yuan denied in a confident voice.
Zhen Yuan didn’t know how, but he knew his life wasn’t supposed to be like this.
He wasn’t supposed to a have a taoist companion and wasn’t supposed to influence the world.
All the changes happened when Shen Xu came into his life.
Thinking about it, Zhen Yuan smiled and hugged his wife.
’Xiaoxu, you are more precious than anything.’ He thought.
"Are there any other effects?" The double asked and Zhen Yuan stiffened for a moment.
"There are no others." He said but suddenly felt a pain on his waist.
"I will punish you if you lie again." The double threatened.
"Xiaoxu..."
"Have you forgotten the effect of the love peach king? We have become more sensitive to each and I can clearly tell that you are not telling me the truth."
Zhen Yuan sighed when he heard this.
He didn’t want to tell the other effect but he also didn’t want to lie to his wife.
After hesitating for a few moments, Zhen Yuan made up his mind.
In the end, he couldn’t bare to lie to Shen Xu.
"The book mentioned the love peach king has many effects but only three were confirmed. The rest can only be understood as we go along."
"What’s the third?"
"Sharing injuries." Zhen Yuan said and the double’s heart skipped a beat.
"This is good." He happily said but Zhen Yuan shook his head.
"Xiaoxu..."
"Brother Yuan, I have always been worried." Shen Xu started and quickly continued.
"I panic and worry every time you are injured. I am relieved that I will be able to share some of your injuries from now on."
Shen Xu was indeed happy and relieved.
Unlike Zhen Yuan, he had an ordinary body and could take ordinary pills to heal and rejuvenate.
Thinking of this, he even felt a little resentful that the love peach king didn’t have the effect of transferring all injuries.
However, Zhen Yuan felt differently.
For some people, the effect of transferring injuries was a life-saving skill but Zhen Yuan only felt distressed.
Even if Shen Xu could easily heal by taking ordinary pills, how could Zhen Yuan be willing to harm him?
If not for the fact that he could also accept Shen Xu’s injuries, Zhen Yuan would have felt the effect was completely worthless.
’I will try not to get injured from now on.’ He thought.
"I can’t wait to find out the other effects of the love peach king." Shen Xu said in a yearning voice.
"We have a long life. I am sure there will be plenty of opportunities for us to find out."
"You are right."
After that, the two walked to the last peach tree.
"What kind of peach tree is this?" Shen Xu asked while looking at the tree.
At a glance, the peach tree looked ordinary.
However, Shen Xu didn’t believe this.
After all, the tree was not only in the hidden space but also in the innermost part of the garden.
"Brother Yuan, do you know this peach tree?"
"I don’t know it." Zhen Yuan shook his head.
"There is only one fruit on it. Let’s pick it and share it."
"Good."
A moment later, Zhen Yuan picked the peach, wiped it, and let Shen Xu take the first bite.
Soon after, the double’s face suddenly turned rosy.
"Hurry up and eat it." He urged, looking at Zhen Yuan with an eager face.
Zhen Yuan didn’t hesitate.
After swallowing a bite, the peach turned into a river of vitality and spread from his stomach to his entire body.
"This..." Zhen Yuan couldn’t help but be shocked.
Although he and Shen Xu were young and didn’t need to externally increase their lifespan, they had still eaten two of the longevity fruits they found in the Demon Plants’ Forest.
These fruits also contained a lot of vitality.
However, the vitality in one longevity fruit couldn’t compare to that in one bite of the peach.
After that, the two happily ate the fruit, allowing its vitality and medicinal effects to saturate their dantian, meridians, internal organs, bones, flesh, and skin.
By the time they finished the fruit, both looked like boiled lobsters but their mental state was very good.
"We need to refine the vitality and medicinal effects." Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu nodded.
"Space or here?"
"Let’s go into the space."
Because they had to return to Formation Tower City, Zhen Yuan felt it was better to practice in the space.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have enough time to stabilise their state before they had to go back.
"Let’s practice together."
"Good."
The two entered the space after that.
Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu retreated for five years, equivalent to six months outside.
However, they only managed to stabilise their state and couldn’t completely refine the medicinal effects of the peach.
On this day, Shen Xu opened his eyes and looked at Zhen Yuan.
"Brother Yuan, that peach..." The double started and Zhen Yuan nodded in understanding.
"It’s most likely an immortality peach." He said.
"I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing in the Tianqi continent." Shen Xu happily exclaimed.
"Brother Yuan, are we going to be immortals from now on?"
"Xiaoxu, this matter cannot be known to others." Zhen Yuan reminded in a solemn voice.
The highest-level cultivators in the cultivation world was Tribulation realm cultivators.
However, even tribulation realm cultivators only had a lifespan of five hundred thousand years and couldn’t be considered as immortals.
From the moment Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu ate the peach, they gained immortality.
But this did not mean they couldn’t die!
As long as nothing happened, they would live forever.
However, if they were attacked and killed, their life would end just like any other person.
Most importantly, their bodies were now precious treasures. freēwēbnovel.com
If someone discovered their immortality, they wouldn’t be too far from being refined and turned into longevity or immortality pills.
Shen Xu couldn’t help but shudder when he thought of this.
