This peach pit is naturally the seed left after eating a flat peach.
A drop of the Three Lights Divine Water ultimately stimulated the vitality deep within the peach pit. However, perhaps because the amount of the divine water was not sufficient, this peach pit will likely need a long time to take root and sprout.
Zhang Jian originally intended to leave it within the Imperial Palace. But after some thought, as the Imperial Palace already has the Taiyin Treasure Tree, he decided to take out the peach pit and send it into this Spirit Mountain Blessed Land.
Apart from this peach seed, that ancient tree stump was also invigorated with vitality.
But due to the same issue, the amount of the Three Lights Divine Water was too little. Although the vitality inside increased, it has not really taken root and sprouted.
The ancient tree stump shares a lineage with the Taiyin Treasure Tree and is even older than the current Taiyin Treasure Tree, so Zhang Jian chose to still leave it in the Imperial Palace.
Zhang Jian glanced around at the Er Long Mountain beneath his feet. After enhancing the Forbidden Technique of this Spirit Mountain Blessed Land once more, Zhang Jian headed toward the depths of the Barbaric Region.
Following the Lishui River of the Qingli Continent upstream directly into the wilderness.
The Lishui River has now become the domain of the Divine Consort of Li Shui, Bai Shuang.
Though the river system is extensive, it is close to the Barbaric Region and extremely perilous.
There are also many powerful Demon Race experts or Spirit Beasts, mountain spirits occupy this place, making the Divine Office of Li Shui unable to control the river. However, since Bai Shuang returned, the situation has improved.
The Qingping Dragon Palace dispatched many powerful subordinate tribe Divine Generals to clear out the demon fiends here.
Zhang Jian transformed into a stream of light, directly entering the Li Shui Dragon Palace.
Although he had obtained part of a power distribution map of the wilderness from the Tongshan Dao Lineage, Zhang Jian believed the Li Shui Divine Palace, often dealing with the Barbaric Demon Race, must also have some valuable intelligence.
In the Li Shui Divine Palace, Bai Shuang was harmonizing the water vein, mediating the Water Vein Spiritual Mechanism, striving to fully control the power of the Lishui Water Vein as soon as possible.
Hearing a distinguished guest’s arrival, she hurriedly emerged from the depths of the Spring Eye Hall.
In the hall, Zhang Jian saw from afar the graceful, dignified, peach-like Bai Shuang. Her plain brocade, plain-colored palace attire could not hide her curvaceous figure.
"Brother-in-law has come! Why didn’t you inform me in advance? I couldn’t welcome you from afar, which is quite inappropriate!"
Her cold and jade-like face blossomed like a peony upon seeing Zhang Jian, with her eyes filled with intense joy, as though the icy frost had melted, making her eyes as bright as spring water.
Zhang Jian, seeing this side of the goddess for the first time, was a bit surprised and then said.
"No need for big sister to be busy, I was merely passing by, and hearing that big sister returned to the Li Shui Divine Palace, I came to visit and also inquire about the power distribution in the Barbaric Region!"
Bai Shuang nodded and instructed the many Clam Maidens and Fish Ladies in the Divine Office to prepare a feast to entertain Zhang Jian.
At the banquet.
Upon learning that Zhang Jian intended to enter the Barbaric Region to find Spiritual Springs, Bai Shuang’s face was astonished.
Being familiar with treasures of this level, Bai Shuang naturally knew about Spiritual Springs.
There are also Spiritual Springs in the Bai Shui Water Element.
The Qingping Dragon Palace has even more Spiritual Springs.
But high-tier Spiritual Springs are the supreme treasures of a significant force’s heritage and won’t be given up easily.
Spiritual Springs contain rich Innate Essence Qi, and their most basic function is to enhance cultivation, serving as an inexhaustible ’Spiritual Ore’ and ’Pill Furnace.’
Many Spiritual Springs also have special functions, such as healing injuries, detoxification, or nourishing the soul.
They can even facilitate ’Enlightenment.’
Their value exceeds that of ordinary Heaven and Earth Divine Objects by a half-tier or even a whole tier.
On the throne, Bai Shuang’s demeanor was dignified; she wore no makeup, her skin like jade, and her phoenix-like eyes sparkled with a lustrous radiance, making her a remarkably standard Fish Beauty.
After pondering for a moment, Bai Shuang said.
"The Barbaric Region has numerous waterways, and quite a few forces own Spiritual Springs, but not many Demon Races own Heaven and Earth Divine Object level springs. Most are of Demon God level power. Upstream in the Lishui is Qingli Lake, home to the Barbaric Qingli Clan, which undoubtedly possesses a Heaven and Earth Divine level Spiritual Spring!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jian smiled slightly, aware of Qingli Lake’s existence but without intent to target it.
The vastness of the Barbaric Region rivals that of the Two Realms Region.
Qingli Lake ranks among the top ten among the numerous waterways in the Barbaric Region. It’s a huge lake, its waters lush with vegetation and vibrant with spiritual energy, primarily led by the Cyan Carp Palace of the Carp Race.
The Cyan Carp Palace has intricate ties with the Qingping Dragon Palace and the Celestial Wind Sea Dragon Palace.
Of course, compared to other Demon Races in the Barbaric Region, the Qingli Clan is notably gentler.
He wasn’t planning to use the Cyan Carp Palace as a stepping stone.
"Otherwise, there’s Du Long Creek, 43,000 li away from Qingli Lake, which harbors another clan of the Wild Dragon Race, primarily made up of Flood Dragons, and Du Long Creek is blessed with a mystical creation; hence, a Spiritual Spring is likely there!"
"Additionally, 52,000 kilometers from here, in Red Flower Valley, Granny Hong Hua’s dwelling may contain a Spiritual Spring. It’s said that Red Flower Valley remains ever-green throughout the year, home to countless mystical flora, nurtured by a Heaven and Earth Divine Spring, which makes it uniquely vibrant. However, Granny Hong Hua is an Independent Cultivator True Immortal and not easy to provoke..."
"Furthermore, in the territories like Qingqiu Mountain, Qianyuan Mountain, West Map Mountain, Nine Rings Mountain, West Kunlun Mountain, and the Demon Race Realm of the Three Holy Countries, there are Heaven and Earth Divine Springs as well!"
Zhang Jian nodded to himself in his mind.
He knew Qingqiu Mountain was under the domain of the Celestial Fox Palace.
