Protect Our Chief-Chapter 546 - 34: Young Clan Leader! Do Not Let Down My Beloved Daughter_2

For the Celestial Human Realm Elders who have lived a long time, the sense of crisis regarding lifespan is already quite strong. Who wouldn’t want to live an extra ten to eight years?

Moreover, although the Longevity Fruit’s effect on Celestial Human Realm isn’t very powerful, it can extend the lifespan by ten to eight years, something ordinarily hard for regular Elders to enjoy.

It’s rare for Changchun Ascendant to be absent, how could they not compete for it? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Senior Brother Jinshan stood aside watching speechlessly. These Elders usually don’t even show their shadows, all nestled in their old nests for retirement. Now that the Longevity Fruit has appeared, each one of them wants it.

"Ahem~" Senior Brother Jinshan cupped his hands and said, "The Longevity Fruit is a Saint Medicine, Jinshan thinks it should first be stored in the warehouse, and when Master returns, we can make a decision."

"Exactly, exactly." Li Yuzhe also said, "Even if we are to distribute it privately, shouldn’t we at least give it to us young Core Disciples? The Longevity Fruit gives the best effects to Spirit Platform Realm cultivators."

The other Core Disciples also all echoed in agreement.

Hearing the confrontation between Core Disciples and Elders, Senior Sister Bai Ling and the other ordinary disciples sensibly closed their mouths, pretending not to see anything.

Although the "Longevity Fruit" is truly best enjoyed by Qi Refining Realm cultivators to enhance body strength, purify bone marrow and trim fur, with the most significant effect on life extension. After consuming the Longevity Fruit, even if a Qi Refining Stage cultivator can’t break through to the Spirit Platform Realm, they can live to over a hundred years.

Yet this precious Longevity Fruit wasn’t something they had the right to vie for.

Among the "ordinary disciples," only Wang Zong’an watched the scene with great interest.

He had also heard the lore of the Longevity Fruit.

It is said that although this Longevity Tree is Ascendant Changchun’s spirit plant, it has actually been passed down for several generations, with an age older than the history of the Purple Mansion Academy.

Additionally, there’s an unusual rule in the Eternal Spring Valley: its heir isn’t designated by the mentors but chosen by the "Longevity Tree." The person who inherits the "Longevity Tree" becomes the next Valley Master of Eternal Spring Valley. Regardless of their original name, the successor assumes the title of "Changchun Ascendant" after taking over.

This Longevity Fruit is also one of the very few Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that can extend the lifespan of ordinary people.

It is said that his father once acquired a Longevity Fruit, and after Ancestor Longyan consumed it, it compensated for the lifespan lost due to previous injuries.

The Longevity Fruit provides a deep, intrinsic nourishment to the body, which is the fundamental reason for its life-extending properties, but in comparison to life extension, its effectiveness in replenishing lost lifespan is actually better.

Moreover, the Longevity Fruit can be used in medicine. When combined with other Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that replenish essence, Longevity Pills can be crafted. A skilled Alchemy Master can produce about seven to eight Longevity Pills from one batch.

Longevity Pills are Fourth-Grade Pills, each worth about thirty thousand Qian Gold, almost comparable to the Celestial Spirit Pill. However, once turned into Longevity Pills, although the overall value increases significantly, the individual effect is greatly weakened and mainly effective for mortals below Spirit Platform Realm.

How to balance the gain and loss depends on the demand.

The reason Wang Zong’an knew so well was also because his father had brought some stock of "Longevity Pills" from the academy back to the family to help some elderly elders prolong their lives.

After all, those elders had sacrificed too much to keep the family going and to train the younger generation. Now that the family had grown stronger, they naturally deserved some reciprocation. The time that has passed cannot be regained, but letting them enjoy a few more peaceful years is also good.

That’s why Wang Zong’an’s attention towards the Longevity Fruit was naturally more than other ordinary disciples.

However, before the Elders and Core Disciples could come to a conclusion from their argument.

Suddenly.

On the branch of the Longevity Tree, the verdant fruit suddenly emitted a radiant glow.

The light was bright but not dazzling; instead, it was unusually gentle and carried a peculiar rhythm, like breathing, deep and shallow, slowly and long.

"Oh?" An Elder with sharp eyes noticed the anomaly and couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment, "The Longevity Fruit that grew this time is different from usual; it seems to be a ’Spirit Seed’!"

"Spirit Seed?"

Everyone’s attention was immediately drawn.

The Elders who had witnessed Longevity Fruits before all revealed looks of surprise.

Indeed, this particular Longevity Fruit was indeed somewhat unusual.

Every species has the need and instinct to reproduce and expand its population. Without it, such a species would most likely have vanished in the river of history.

As a special Spirit Seed, the Longevity Tree naturally has such needs. During such times, the Longevity Fruit it produces differs from usual, with its flesh containing a Longevity Tree Spirit Seed.

This Spirit Seed can be nurtured and cultivated into a new Longevity Tree seedling. This seedling, as it continuously grows, will eventually become a new "Longevity Tree" in due time.

However, for a high-tier spiritual seed such as the Longevity Tree, breeding offspring is not easy, involving considerable time accumulation and cost.

Therefore, it might take hundreds of years to produce a "Spirit Seed," and the Longevity Fruits produced mostly only contain the flesh and no Spirit Seed core.

Hence, once a "Spirit Seed" appears, everyone’s eyes lit up fervently.

Obtaining a Longevity Tree Spirit Seed allows for its nurturing into a spirit plant, which is especially suited to become a "Lifebound Spirit Plant."

It should be known that wherever a Longevity Tree takes root, it becomes a Spirit Gathering Land. Even if it takes root in some desert areas, it will gradually gather spirit, improve the soil, and gradually transform into a "Life Oasis."
