Level Up in Martial World

Chapter 238: Peaches



"Alright, I promise to set up the formation, come down." The floor started to vibrate as if an earthquake had come, revealing a deep crater straight towards the base of her.

Lu Zhen narrowed his eyes as he looked down with his narrowed gaze.

His crimson eyes turned golden as he looked at the ground below, his pupils dilated seeing it as he hurriedly looked away, his eyes gradually turning to its crimson pupil.

"No thanks, you can set it up here…" Lu Zhen shrugged, not going down with a sneer on his face.

"Huh." Elv was stunned.

"Then there is no deal. I will consume more energy going up there rather than…"

"Then I don\'t care." Lu Zhen said in a cold tone as he was about to leave.

Hearing this, Elv gritted her teeth.

"Wait, our agreement is completed then, besides you still haven\'t brought me a first-stage martial artist corpse."

"Huh, what do you mean…" Lu Zhen\'s eyes narrowed to a slit.

"You need to bring me a \'corpse,\' not the real body."

"You are right," he said with a resigned sigh on his face.

"The more you learn, the better it is." Lu Zhen mused, realising that he had checked the contract multiple times but had overlooked these simple words.

Life is all about learning, and although he hated it himself, constant improvement through learning is absolutely necessary for everyone. From birth till now, everyone learns new things to strive for perfection and to achieve their goals.

"I will bring you a full corpse of a first-stage martial artist, but when will you be done with this formation?"

"Give me half an hour or so…"

"Huh, that short time? Okay," Lu Zhen just nodded his head.

"But you need to leave."

"Alright," he swiftly left the place, and his vision was filled with greenery again.

"That Elv old monster is interesting…" a smile formed on Lu Zhen\'s face as he looked at the trees.

The moment he gazed at the tree, it bowed towards him, with its peak bending towards him.

"This is," Lu Zhen suddenly summoned the plant Qi, and instantly, he felt a deep resonance with the tree, as if he could understand them.

"Is this nature?" his eyes widened.

The trees were communicating with him at a slow pace, although he couldn\'t hear them in his ears. It felt like he was talking to the chains previously.

Suddenly, his mind swirled with thoughts as a glint flashed in his eyes.

"I have a plan."

Lu Zhen walked up to a plant and took out a strand of his plant Qi, nurturing it with it.

Boom!

The tall tree instantly grew larger and stronger, with its already previously large size.

Lu Zhen\'s eyes lit up when he saw this. He nurtured every single tree with his plant Qi, and instantly, every tree grew to a gigantic size in proportion. While they were previously about the height of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest tower in his world, now they were as tall or even taller.

In the end, Lu Zhen was labouring and breathless, tired from the sheer effort. Although it was just one strand of plant Qi, the sheer number of trees caused him to be exhausted. The leaves of the trees rustled as if the trees were thanking him in return.

Suddenly, Lu Zhen was showered with thousands of fruit that all came showering down on him, drowning him in them.

"Huh, what is this?" Lu Zhen thought with some shock. Although the fruits were in thousands and fell at the same time, he was completely unfazed by it. He casually looked at one of the fruits carefully.

It resembled an ordinary peach. Lu Zhen\'s crimson eyes turned golden as he examined it carefully with a frown.

[Hidden Divine Peach]

[Grade: Intent]

[Remark: Increases the vitality of the martial artist.

The tree can produce the fruit every hundred years; however, not many people know about it. Even if they know, extracting the fruits without the willingness of the tree is impossible.]

Lu Zhen\'s eyes lit up when he saw this.

Without hesitation, he casually took the peach and directly ate it.

The moment the peach entered his body, it instantly melted, turning into nutrition for Lu Zhen.

The taste was good, but it was like any normal peach sold in the market, which made Lu Zhen frown.

He summoned his system with a thought.

Instantly, a blue panel materialised in front of him.

His lifespan had increased by a whopping two years. While it might not seem like a lot, it was still an exponential increase.

Lu Zhen looked at the other peaches with greed in his eyes and instantly started to eat the peaches one by one.

After he finished ten, he looked again; however, the moment he looked, he frowned.

"The maths isn\'t adding up," he thought.

"Does the effectiveness decrease every time I eat it?" Lu Zhen casually took a peach and ate it again, looking at his status.

Unfortunately, the status remained unmoving, which caused his face to be laced with disappointment.

He started to take other peaches while observing them, and finally, after eating three more peaches, his lifespan increased by a year again.

"That\'s disappointing," Lu Zhen muttered as he took some more.

After taking five peaches, his lifespan increased by a year again.

"Let\'s look at the other fruits." he muttered.
