Chapter 163: Dragon pool and Dragon pearl

Lian Xiang's appearance allows them to beat back Cheng Mingcheng and for the evil energy running rampant in Long Zhanye's body to be temporarily suppressed. However, if they return like this to the city, they will no doubt bring about chaos and panic. Thus, Lian Xiang proposes to stay for a while within a vacant house nearby.

Laying Long Zhanye down on the sofa in the living room, Huo Zaiyuan caresses that pale, bloodless face, distress clear in his eyes. Turning towards Lian Xiang, he says, "Thank you very much for rescuing me. I am Huo Zaiyuan."

"So that's your name now," Lian Xiang replies with a smile. "No need to be so courteous. We are good friends."

"This...seems to be the first meeting between us." Huo Zaiyuan blinks in bewilderment.

Many call themselves his friend, but those he trusts amounts to only a few. Someone like Lian Xiang who willingly throws himself into danger in order to rescue a friend is definitely not an individual Huo Zaiyuan will forget. Hence, he is certain that this is his first time meeting the Buddhist.

"This is indeed our first meeting, but being best friends is also a fact." Lian Xiang doesn't elaborate further. "No wonder your spiritual signature is only faintly discernible. Taking on this form..."

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing. I'll go ahead and lay arrays around this house. Even if that zombie come back, there's no need to worry. Rest properly and recover your energy. It will be the best decision for you and that person," Lian Xiang advises before he turns to leave, golden jian in hand.

Staring at the Buddhist's retreating back, Huo Zaiyuan materialises a bamboo tube in his left hand and calls out, "Lian Xiang...this tube contains fermented peach juice that may be able to replenish your reserves. I don't know if it will be effective for you, so you might want to try a little first."

Although the situation was urgent, Huo Zaiyuan notices that their Arts are very different. Therefore, he isn't quite sure if the peach juice is able to help Lian Xiang.

"Un." Lian Xiang also drops his formality, taking the offered bamboo tube with a practised motion as if they have been doing this all their lives.

Twisting open the bamboo tube, Lian Xiang swallows a mouthful of liquid, before a flabbergasted expression surfaces.

"What's the matter? Is something not right?"

"This is the fermented juice taken from the Nine Heavens Immortal peaches," Stating with such firmness and not a trace of question, suffice to say, Lian Xiang is no stranger to the peach tree in Huo Zaiyuan's space.

"You know?" Huo Zaiyuan asks in surprise.

Ever since he obtained his space and everything within, this is the first time the name of the peach tree is spoken by someone else.

"I do. The Nine Heavens Immortal peach is the Taoist 'Jade Spiritual Core' sect's treasure that is handed down throughout the generations. A rebellion broke out within the sect, led by the Heretical Dragon, and this tree was pulled up by the roots. To this day, no one knows the whereabouts of this tree. Hang on...how did you obtain the Nine Heavens Immortal peach? Did the Heretical Dragon leave something for you? If that's the case, then he can most certainly be rescued," Lian Xiang says solemnly as he points towards the man lying on the sofa.

Regarding all the "Heretical Dragon" and "Jade Spiritual Core sect" coming from Lian Xiang's mouth, Huo Zaiyuan doesn't understand it one bit. But as soon as he mentions being able to save Long Zhanye, the Taoist's eyes widen. Rushing up to the other youth, he grabs Lian Xiang by the front of his shirt.
