Chapter 90: The Ceremony
Time flew swiftly, and a month had passed.
At Mirror Moon Lake,
in the herb field area, beneath the central tier-2 spirit peach tree.
Ruan Xingling, clad in a pink palace dress, gently caressed the ancient branches of the peach tree, twisted like coiled dragons. Her expression seemed nostalgic, as if reminiscing…
On the limbs of the spirit peach tree hung a few green peaches, clearly unripe.
“I remember… these peaches take three years to mature, yet they taste incredibly sweet. Sadly, Father never let me have more than a few, saying they were reserved for the children during their foundation cultivation phase. These peaches possess gentle spiritual energy, free from any pill toxicity, making them supreme for cultivating one’s elemental base…” Ruan Xingling murmured almost to herself, “When Lu rebelled, Father could have easily destroyed this tree but couldn’t bear to…”
“Now… this spirit plant has finally returned to my hands.”
“Xingling, enduring humiliation and bearing burdens all these years, you’ve ultimately avenged your grudge. I am truly pleased,” said an elderly voice.
An elderly man in a crane-patterned robe approached leisurely—it was Feng Baimeng.
