Xu Qingzhi and Yuan Jinting were equally shocked when they saw Ding Xiuqing's transformation as if she was rejuvenated.

The two of them had shared a flat peach before, but the biggest feeling they had was the delicious taste that made their souls tremble, but they themselves didn't change much.

But when they saw the changes that had taken place in Ding Xiuqing's body, the two of them knew that the peach was probably not a mortal thing.

No wonder Zhang Ke looked so heartbroken for just a peach.

At this moment, Ding Xiuqing finally understood the difference between immortals and mortals.

It turns out that those legends are true, and there really is a magical elixir that can rejuvenate people.

Suddenly, he felt a desire to practice.

He wanted to truly understand this incredibly magical real world.

With a hint of expectation, Ding Xiuqing looked at Zhang Ke.

"Zhenjun, then...do you still have the peaches?"

The previous lessons were still fresh in his mind. He was worried that Zhang Ke would blame him for pushing too far, so he hurriedly explained:

"I am willing to use the 10%... no, 20% of the tax of the county that the True Lord rewarded to the True Lord in exchange for one, um... four peaches."

Zhang Ke looked at Ding Xiuqing with a half-smile.

"What do you want this peach for?"

Ding Xiuqing answered honestly:

"I have a younger sister who also has parents-in-law and her husband's family, so I want to ask the True Lord for some spiritual peaches."

Zhang Ke nodded slightly.

"You mean well, but you probably don't know what you just ate.

This is the spiritual root of heaven and earth. It takes a thousand years to mature. If you eat it, it will cut off the hair and cleanse the marrow. It will strengthen the root and strengthen the body. It will prevent all diseases and extend life by at least sixty years.

What you just ate was the last ripe peach in my hand."

Ding Xiuqing was shocked, bowed and saluted:

"Xiu Qing was reckless. Please don't blame me, my true lord."

Zhang Ke waved his hand casually and said:

"It doesn't matter. If you can give up such a huge benefit for your family, you can be considered a compassionate and righteous person."

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Ke continued:

"This peach tree is a spiritual creature under the rules of heaven and earth, and there is a certain chance that it may produce peach stones.

I can promise you here that if there is a True Monarch of Yuanshen in the Cave Heaven Realm in your family in the future, I will give him a peach core.

As for whether you can cultivate peach trees, it depends on the opportunities of your descendants."

Seeing that Ding Xiuqing seemed about to speak but held back, Zhang Ke explained:

"If there is no independent cave to isolate the inside and outside, the spiritual power and aura emitted by this peach tree will attract the covetousness of countless monsters and humans. If I give you the peach seed now, I will harm you."

Ding Xiuqing felt relieved, he believed what Zhang Ke said was true.

This item was not among his requirements. If he wanted to deceive himself, there was no need to give him this magical treasure.

Zhang Ke tapped the books on the desk with his right fingers, hesitated again and again, and said resolutely:

"In addition to the things I promised you before, I promise you another treasure."

As soon as these words came out, both Xu Qingzhi, Yuan Jinting, and even Ding Xiuqing were stunned.

Ding Xiuqing made three requests before. Limited to ordinary people's perspective, his three requests were a bit ridiculous.

But what Zhang Ke gave back was countless times more than what he asked for.

Not to mention anything else, just a permanent 30% tax in one county can make Ding Xiuqing's family the most prominent family in the nine counties of Penglai for generations.

This is the first time that the nine counties of Penglai have transferred such a large benefit.

It never happened in the past, and I'm afraid it won't happen in the future.

In addition, Zhang Ke also gave Ding Xiuqing a spiritual peach that can rejuvenate youth and a peach tree seed that can be used as an inherited treasure in the future.

Even Xu Qingzhi, who has worked hard for the sect for hundreds of years, has never received this kind of treatment.

Unexpectedly, this was not all, Zhang Ke actually offered a treasure in exchange.

Who knows what Zhang Kedu could call it a treasure?

Just listen to Zhang Ke say:

"I promise you that if your family produces the True Lord of Yuanshen in the future, the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' will give him an innate spiritual treasure as one of the trading items of 'Yuanqi Theory'."

Ding Xiuqing is just an ordinary person, he doesn't know what an innate spiritual treasure means.

How could Xu Qingzhi and Yuan Jinting not know the preciousness of the innate spiritual treasure?

The two of them exclaimed in surprise.

"Master! Please think twice!"

"Master, no!"

Seeing the sudden change in the expressions and expressions of the two men, Ding Xiuqing immediately understood the weight of the treasure promised by Zhang Ke.

Not only did this not make Ding Xiuqing happy, but it actually gave rise to some fear and palpitations.

Zhang Ke gave too many benefits, and he said with some uneasiness:

"Zhenjun, I am already very satisfied. I don't need this treasure anymore, right?"

Zhang Ke waved his hand to stop Xu Qingzhi and the others from trying to dissuade him, and said gently:

"The story I told you three before actually has a follow-up..."

He let out a little breath and said:

"When the king swept across the kingdoms with antifreeze grease, the secret could no longer be kept.

When the news reached the ears of the fisherman and his family, they realized what they had missed.

Just for a small profit, they lost the opportunity to become a lord.

The fisherman's family came to the capital to find the king and told him that the oil formula was his ancestral heritage.

He demanded that the merchant be punished for his deceptive behavior and that the king grant his family the same territory.

But the king said that the oil formula was donated by businessmen, and the fisherman's family had not brought any help to the country.

Immediately afterwards, the fisherman and his family were kicked out of the capital.

The fisherman's family felt very unhappy.

Although after doing business with the businessman, they once ridiculed the businessman as a big fool.

But when the businessman obtained a territory with this formula, the fisherman and his family suddenly felt that they had been deceived.

Because they feel that if the merchants had informed them of this method at that time, their family would have been the ones to get the territory now..."

After hearing this, Ding Xiuqing and others already understood Zhang Ke's intention in telling the story.

"...So the fisherman and his family decided to take revenge on the businessman.

They burned their houses and killed their children who were no taller than a wheel.

Use the property exchanged by the merchants for formulas to build ships, recruit desperadoes, form a pirate team, and launch crazy revenge on the merchant's territory.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In this way, the fisherman and the businessman became mortal enemies.

Haha, just because of this formula, the fate of many people has been rewritten.

I don’t want to comment on whose fault it is, but since there has been a precedent, I don’t want this story to happen to me again.”

Zhang Ke opened his white eyes and looked at Ding Xiuqing, and said slowly:

“I haven’t figured out how to use the mystery of ‘vital energy’ yet, nor do I know what impact it will have on the world in the future.

Just like a merchant offering a recipe, the king only received the reward because he won the war.

Note that you must carefully consider the time when he received the reward, which was after the victory of the war.

But if the king loses this war, what awaits him may be completely different.

No one can predict what will happen in the future.

Perhaps the secret of 'vital energy' is important and the sect will benefit from it.

This benefit may be huge, and it will be hundreds of times higher than what I have paid now.

But it may be very small, or even not as much as what I paid for it.

It may even be that the secret of 'vital energy' is worthless and will bring unpredictable disasters to the sect.

All these risks must be borne by us.

Today, for the sect to trade with you, I can actually only meet the three requirements you put forward.
To be continued...
