Chapter 1312 - The Depressed Celestial Thearch
Chapter 1312: The Depressed Celestial Thearch
Lin Junjun was currently in the process of watching the activity with “keen interest” in her eyes.
However, the Celestial Thearch suddenly turned toward her at this moment.
She was starting to panic a little. Had her cover been blown?
That shouldn’t be the case. It wasn’t as if she could tell which fruit was an immortal peach, so even if the Celestial Thearch did suspect something, what exactly could he be skeptical of?
“Little Zi, you seem troubled by something?” the Celestial Thearch suddenly asked.
Lin Junjun shuddered slightly before immediately shaking her head. “Not at all! I was only thinking about some cultivating problems.”
The Celestial Thearch continued, “An Lin seems to have some sort of strategy when choosing the heavenly peaches. Did you…”
“Ah! It wasn’t me! I didn’t! Don’t slander me!”
Lin Junjun instantly went into super defensive mode.
The Celestial Thearch: “…”
For some reason, the Celestial Thearch was feeling quite depressed. Was his favorite daughter selling him out for another man?
However, what the Celestial Thearch didn’t know was that she was not selling him out for another man. She was just selling him out for two dishes…
Within the Myriad Fruit Orchard.
“Big Boss An Lin is super awesome! He already has four immortal fruits. I have to pick up the pace too.” Lan Xiaoni turned toward An Lin with an unbridled smile of elation on her face.
Most of the other living beings present were not quite as happy as Lan Xiaoni.
In fact, most of them felt as if they had received a heavy blow to the heart.
It was said that those who were able to discern the heavenly peaches had eyes of wisdom that could see through all things.
Could it be that An Lin was the only one who possessed eyes of wisdom here? Were the rest of them all blind?
With the addition of Black Spirit Snake’s immortal peach, half of the immortal peaches were already gone.
They didn’t have much time left!
“Hey, I discovered a pattern. All four of An Lin’s immortal peaches are purple…”
“You mean there is a higher probability of finding immortal peaches among the purple fruits?!”
“That should be the case. Can’t you see that he keeps wandering around trees with purple fruits? There’s definitely something to be learned here!”
“Let’s go!”
Some of the representatives thought they had discovered a pattern, and all of them swarmed toward the purple fruit trees in an attempt to find what was different about them.
Some of the smarter ones avoided the trees An Lin had observed in the past as a process of elimination.
An Lin couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon seeing this.
Red, orange, yellow, green, aqua, blue, and purple. There were already four immortal fruits among the purple ones, and there had to be at least one of all of the other six colors, which meant that there were no longer any immortal peaches among the purple fruits!
The rest would be found in other colors.
Black Spirit Snake’s yellow pineapple was an immortal peach, so yellow could be eliminated as well.
The rest could be found in red, orange, green, aqua, and blue fruits.
An Lin sprang into action, but this time, he was no longer looking at purple fruits.
All of the representatives who were feeling quite pleased with themselves for discovering that pattern were all dumbstruck.
Why was it that just when they had discovered something, An Lin immediately slapped them in the face?
“Congratulations to Lan Xiaoni of the West Sea Alliance for obtaining one immortal-rank heavenly peach!”
The Celestial Thearch’s voice sounded once again in the sky.
Everyone heaved a light sigh of relief upon hearing this. At least it wasn’t the Four Nine Immortal Sect again…
This was a strange mentality, as if they had post-traumatic stress disorder from hearing about the Four Nine Immortal Sect obtaining immortal peaches.
Lan Xiaoni held a blue, heart-shaped fruit in her hands, and she raised it high in the air with a vibrant smile upon detecting An Lin’s gaze.
An Lin gave her a thumbs-up along with a wide smile.
He could eliminate blue fruits as well now!
Hence, he began searching through the red, orange, green, and aqua fruits.
Lan Xiaoni turned toward the two High Priests behind her. “Thank you for your divination, High Priests. Go find some heavenly peaches of your own. There’s no need to hold back just because we’re competing with An Lin. He’s not that petty.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu and Yu Feiyu both nodded before using their divination techniques to search for more heavenly peaches.
The Four Nine Immortal Sect members were also all showing off their skills.
Xiao Chou’s lightbulb eyes had been activated to maximum brightness, and all living beings who looked directly into them would be blinded… Ptui, that wasn’t the point. The point was that any slight differences between the fruits could be discerned under such strong light!
One of Xu Xiaolan’s eyes had turned golden, whereas the other was white. Her golden eye of the True Dragon and her white eye of the holy flame had an extremely powerful discernment ability when used together. The only downside was that it was a little slow.
Xuanyuan Cheng seemed to be able to communicate with the fruits.
“Are you a heavenly peach?”
The fruit swayed from side to side.
“What about you? Are you a heavenly peach?”
The other fruit also swayed from side to side.
“You’re quite handsome. Are you a heavenly peach in disguise?”
The fruit swayed from side to side…
Elsewhere.
Countless statistical golden particles of light flashed through Bai Ling’s eyes, as if she was doing some sort of unimaginably complex calculation.
Xiao Tu was like an old farmer walking through the orchard and occasionally looking at a fruit or two. No one knew if he could actually discern anything by looking at them though.
…
Red, orange, green, and aqua.
“Congratulations to Xuanyuan Lun of the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect for obtaining an immortal-rank heavenly peach.”
The Celestial Thearch’s voice created another stir throughout the Myriad Fruit Orchard.
Xuanyuan Lun held an orange in his hand with a smile on his face.
After a short while.
“Congratulations to Wind Demon Child of the Heavenly Frost Spirit Palace for obtaining an immortal-rank heavenly peach.”
A humanoid child with a pair of colorful wings growing on its head held an aqua fruit with elation on its face.
The Heavenly Frost Spirit Palace was a top-tier sect in the Hall of Creation for flying living beings.
The pressure was mounting on An Lin.
There were only red and green fruits left.
“Crap, there are only two immortal-rank heavenly peaches left! We have to pick up the pace.”
“Sect Leader An Lin seems to have dropped off. After obtaining four immortal-rank heavenly peaches in quick succession, he hasn’t found any others.”
“Perhaps it was just luck?”
“There’s no use saying things like that now. He obtained four heavenly peaches, which is the equivalent of everyone else combined already.”
All of the representatives discussed spiritedly among themselves as they continued their search.
An Lin was planning to take all ten, and he was feeling quite panicked that reality was so different from what he had envisioned.
However, he finally stopped below a red, gourd-like fruit.
Other living beings were also coming toward them, so he immediately pulled the red gourd off the tree!
“Congratulations to An Lin of the Four Nine Immortal Sect for obtaining one immortal-rank heavenly peach!”
The Celestial Thearch’s voice was greeted by a deathly silence before the entire Myriad Fruit Orchard exploded again.
An Lin was finally back!
An Lin proved to everyone yet again that he was not picking the immortal fruits through dumb luck and firmly silenced his doubters in the process.
“There’s only one left. I have to make a final effort!” An Lin was pumping himself up.
The same thought was running through everyone’s mind.
However, a voice sounded again less than two minutes later.
“Congratulations to Xu Xiaolan of the Four Nine Immortal Sect for obtaining one immortal-rank heavenly peach!”
The Celestial Thearch’s voice struck despair into everyone’s heart.
The Four Nine Immortal Sect had taken the final immortal peach as well!
An Lin turned toward a certain direction, and the woman there was also turning toward him at the same time.
Thus, their eyes met.
Xu Xiaolan held a large green fruit, which looked like a lantern, and a smug, vibrant smile lit up her exquisitely beautiful features.
