Chapter 1034: Chapter 1034: Preparations in Advance, Gift of Immortal Peaches

In Chen Mengze’s Ice Grotto, besides herself, only Shen Mo possesses the spiritual key to unlock the formation’s prohibition.

Moreover, Shen Mo did not hide his presence, and Chen Mengze already knew he had arrived, which is why she dared to immerse herself recklessly in the ice spring pool to cleanse her Dao body! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Under Shen Mo’s scorching gaze, she found it difficult to maintain her Path Heart’s tranquility. Her translucent skin revealed a tint of soft pink, and with a graceful gesture, she summoned the flimsy silk robe beside her to cover her flawless body.

However, her subtle and partially concealed figure added a layer of tantalizing allure, breathtakingly beautiful, causing Shen Mo’s mind to wander for a moment.

Splish, splash!

Water splashed everywhere, and as soon as she finished bathing, Chen Mengze was embraced by Shen Mo and pulled back into the chilly pool.

...

In the small stone house crafted from ice jade, brilliant pearls floated all around, illuminating the interior as bright as daylight.

Shen Mo sat disheveled on the jade couch, while Chen Mengze knelt next to him, delicately using a comb to tidy his scattered black hair, then skillfully tying it into a bun and adorning it with a simple wooden hairpin!

Once the grooming was complete, Shen Mo reluctantly pulled his gaze away. With a flicker of sword light at his fingertips, two Thunder Peaches, tinted with a hint of red, appeared in his hand.

"Senior Sister Chen, these two are Thunder Peaches I obtained from Su Qingtao, containing vibrant thunder vitality. Consuming them can enhance the body’s Qi and blood! Given your current vitality strength, you may experience about a ten percent increase after consumption..."

Speaking of which, Shen Mo’s fingers repeatedly flicked, circulating a thread of sword Qi to peel and remove the pit of one peach, leaving only the excellent-looking peach flesh. "However, your body is unique, and I’m not sure if the thunder vitality will conflict with your Ice Clear Spiritual Body. If you consume it now, I can protect you while you do!"

In a few more years, as one who had made a pact with the Death Jaw, Chen Mengze would again enter the cultivation world, where the Immortal Path is obscure, unable to utilize cultivation mana, relying solely on her physical vitality.

Therefore, Shen Mo left the two peaches for Chen Mengze.

Although Chen Mengze had never seen Thunder Peaches, being a great cultivator at the Divine Bridge Realm and a high-ranking sect member, she had seen countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. From Shen Mo’s few words, she understood the rarity of such Spirit Fruit and promptly declined: "After returning from the cultivation world, I practiced an external cultivation method matching my physique, and my physical strength now far exceeds peers of the same level. Even if I re-enter the cultivation world, I can adequately protect myself! This peach is so precious; you should keep it for yourself, as there are very few spiritual items left that can further enhance your vitality."

The external cultivation method Chen Mengze practiced was called "Moon Dew Body Refining Mantra," originally a body refinement method of the Profound Moon School, later absorbed into the Chiyang Sect’s Yanyue Peak lineage, and thus naturally incorporated into Chiyang Sect’s cultivation method collection.

Shen Mo had also spent effort improving this cultivation method.

The method he deduced with [Martial Performance] was tailor-made by the Martial Performance Body based on his state.

Despite being a high-grade deduced method, it became incredibly profound and obscure, not suitable for others to cultivate. Otherwise, Chiyang Sect’s cultivation library would house many high-class methods, surpassing even True Immortal Powers that have existed for tens of thousands of years.

Nonetheless, after thoroughly understanding a high-class cultivation method, Shen Mo could, from his elevated position, modify similar cultivation methods and magic based on his experience and insights.

As such, over the years, many methods within Chiyang Sect have increased by two to three levels, and "Moon Dew Body Refining Mantra," initially a low-grade spiritual method, was upgraded to top-grade spiritual level due to Shen Mo’s improvements, yielding decent body tempering effects.

However, this method didn’t fully suit Chen Mengze. Despite cultivating it for two to three hundred years, she only reached the Senior stage, still having considerable room for enhancing her vitality.

Therefore, Shen Mo considered using external items to further elevate her vitality!

Shen Mo explained that his physique is exceedingly formidable, and the enhancement effect from the peach is negligible. Whether he has one more or less peach makes little difference, but for a cultivator like Chen Mengze, not adept in body refinement methods, it provides immediate results.

Through sharp persuasion, Shen Mo finally convinced Chen Mengze to pick up a slice of peach and put it in her mouth.

The delicate touch from her fingertips was extraordinarily gratifying, yet he quickly discarded those distracting thoughts, focusing on his sense as he intertwined it with Chen Mengze, constantly sensing changes in her Dao body and mind.

Fortunately, the thunder power contained in the peach was not destructive and pure, but transformed by the peach tree into a thread of vital force, perfectly absorbable by any special physique. Amidst the soft sound of thunder, Chen Mengze’s Qi and blood notably increased.

The sour taste of the peach flesh involuntarily made her furrow her brows: "So sour!"

Only when the sour taste turned sweet did her brows relax, and she felt her Qi and blood flourishing within her, revealing a touch of joy in her eyes.

After consuming one Thunder Peach, Chen Mengze’s vitality strength increased directly by fifty percent. Just as Shen Mo was about to prepare the second peach, she held Shen Mo’s hand: "I want to keep this peach for Yingying, is that okay?"

Currently in Chiyang Sect, besides Shen Mo and Chen Mengze, Jiang Yingying had also made a contract with Guan Ling, meaning she would shortly enter the Divine Path world again.

However, personal bonds differed, and naturally, Shen Mo’s heart was inclined towards Chen Mengze.

As for Jiang Yingying, although Shen Mo had a decent relationship with her, it wasn’t strong enough to gift such a precious Spirit Fruit!

Yet, Chen Mengze’s relationship with her was exceptionally good, having been close friends since their early days. They ventured into the Ghost Nation Ruins together, and after Heaven Sword Sect’s merger with Chiyang Sect, their interactions grew more frequent, becoming bosom buddies.

"Last time, Yingying entered the Divine Path world, she nearly died inside. Her cultivation is currently stuck at the late stage of Golden Core Realm, with little progress in external cultivation methods, and accidental encounters during battle with deities could cost her life..." Chen Mengze began to explain.

Though her relationship with Shen Mo was immensely intimate, the peach was not only extremely precious but also a sign of Shen Mo’s sentiment. If she wished to give it to Jiang Yingying, it was best to seek Shen Mo’s agreement beforehand.

Shen Mo nodded indifferently; he had already given the Thunder Peach to Chen Mengze, so its handling was her choice.

Moreover, he was confident he could protect Chen Mengze in the Divine Path world, and enhancing her physical vitality was merely a precaution!

"Thank you!"

A grateful glow appeared on Chen Mengze’s face as she stored the remaining peach in her Storage Bracelet.

"Between us, why be so formal?" Shen Mo pinched Chen Mengze’s ice-jade-like cheek, smiling warmly.
