Wang Feng's curiosity stirred. 'I wonder what it is…' he thought, stepping forward slowly.
Wang Feng strolled in front of the tree, finding that it wasn't that tall— just around 5 meters or so in height and nearly 1 meter in width.
It's silver barks shimmered softly under the glaring sunlight. The golden veins contrasted and intertwined with its silver surface. It's green Jade like leaves rustled— even in the absence of wind.
A faint and intoxicating scent invaded his nose— spreading a calming wave throughout him— even making him involuntarily loosen his unknowingly tense muscles, refreshing his mind and spirit.
He opened his bright, shining eyes. "This!...", he quickly looked around the branches of the tree, to see the thing that grew on this magnificent tree.
There, on a branch, he saw a fruit hanging. It was just like a Peach. The Peach was as big as a fist, its surface was light pink in color, combined with shades of golden yellow near the top. On top of it was a bloom like a crown. A sweet and calming scent accompanying it.
Wang Feng's eyes widened and his mind froze. He gulped a second later, "...just, what is wrong with this place....", he muttered in a weak voice, though it was carried by an undeniable surge of excitement.
'first the Nether Ghost Disaster Bat—which was at Tier 4 only and now this Spirit Grade Imperial Wisdom Peach— which should have been a Origin King or Above Grade Fruit!', he exclamined inwardly, calming his rapidly beating heart.
He exhaled and crouched slightly before jumping up, grabbing onto the branch of the tree, he grabbed the plump Peach and softly broke it from the branch, letting go of the branch and falling back on the ground.
He examined the fist sized peach in his hand, feeling the soft but firm surface and the calming scent, "it truly is the Imperial Wisdom Peach...", he muttered with excited voice.
Imperial Wisdom Peach. It was originally an Origin King or Above Grade Fruit, to Wang Feng's knowledge from his Inheritances. It was a fruit that had the ability to raise the comprehensive ability of the user, both temporarily and permanently— temporarily raising it to an ungodly level and permanently according to the user's talent and luck.
It was a fruit that was usually used by cultivators for gaining unity with the world and peeping into its Laws and Daos— allowing them to deepen their understanding and thus giving meteoric increase in strength.
That wasn't all, as this fruit also strengthened the Soul and it's soft and abundant energy tempered the body.
All in all— it was an overpowered treasure that strengthened the user in all aspects.... Though, Wang Feng wasn't so sure about these Spirit Grade ones.
He looked back up at the tree branches, walking around the tree. At the end, he spotted only 2 more Peaches on the tree.
After taking off the 2 Peaches, Wang Feng sat cross-legged while leaning against the tree. The 3 Peaches placed on his lap. He picked up one in his hand and focused. The next moment, the system responded with a blue panel.

[Imperial Wisdom Peach]
[Grade: Spirit (???)]
[Description: A fruit planted by ??????. Upon consumption— enhances the comprehensive ability by 30 - 50 times, Allows deeper connection with the world, Enhances control over Qi, Enhances Soul Strength (Spiritual Energy) and Tempers the Body.]
———————————————————
Looking at the description, Wang Feng could barely contain his excitement, 'It's nearly the same!', he cheered inwardly. Although the effect of the fruit was weaker than his knowledge— it was acceptable considering it's Grade.
The only thing that confused —and slightly scared — him was the bunch of question marks on the description panel. He wondered who was the person that had planted this perticular Peach here.
Just then, his eyes flashed and he swiftly turned his attention to the Nether Ghost Disaster Bat in his inventory.
———————————————————
[Nether Ghost Disaster Bat (????)]
[Cultivation: High - Tier 3]
[Attributes: Darkness, Devouring, Blood, Soul]
[Cores: Monster Core (Tier 3), Soul Core (Tier 3)]
[Description: An Ancient Darkness Beast— born from Darkness and Shadow of the Universe. It is a beast of Terror and Disaster. It feasts on it's target's Blood, Soul and Cultivation.
This mutant was created and placed here by the ????????. It contains a beast core— can be used for cultivation, forging and alchemy, a Soul core— can be assimilated by a cultivator (or monster beast) to strengthen his soul, and Law Fragments of Darkness and Devouring.]
{Caution⚠️: It is advised to not utilize the Darkness and Devouring Law Fragments till the user is at least Human Stage Nascent Soul Realm for maximum profit.}
———————————————————
Wang Feng blinked several times while looking at the long description. He even had to rub his eyes once to see if he was hallucinating or not.
'This... What can I even say now...', he thought, honestly numb by now. The Beast Core was obvious. What surprised him slightly was the Soul Core, which certainly wasn't a common item. It is something that holds all the owners Spiritual Energy and even a few memories or skills.
So, gaining it from a Tier 3 monster was unpredictable for him.
But the Soul Core wasn't the main character here. What shocked him the most was the Law Fragments!
He was wondering: why the hell did this guy had Law Fragments in it!? Are those things common!? Of course not!
But... No matter how excited or shocked he was, he knew that he shouldn't touch those Law Fragments for now, saving them till he reaches a level where he actually needs to study and understand Laws.
Finally, he confirmed his previous guess. Both the Disaster Bat and Imperial Wisdom Peach were planted here by someone! And judging by the description of both, he suspected that it wasn't a single person who did that.
He took a deep, shuddering breath, 'Its not my problem to deal with those stuff, for now. I should just focus on getting strong for now.', he thought— already feeling a phantom headache from his wild thoughts about the question marks.
He shook his head and after a few minutes of calming down, bit down on the peach. Instantly a sweet and tangy flavor with pulpy texture erupted in his mouth, making his body relax and released a hum of satisfaction. His mind clearing instantly with a soothing wave of energy from the peach, along with an increase in his perception.
He didn't stop till he finished eating the whole Peach.
He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, but he felt as if he could see all around him. From the slightest away of leaves and grass around him to the sound of rocks and soft beasts roars from 10-30 miles was heard by him clearly.
He felt as if his body was a part of nature. His connection with his surroundings turning to near assimilation. The warm current of the energy from the Peach coarsed into his body like trickling rain in a lake.
He felt his control over his Qi shoot up. If before he had to revolve his Qi and slowly form an attack — taking a few seconds. Now he could directly force a large amount of his Qi to flow while forming his attack simultaneously within a second.
'what terrifying effect...', Wang Feng thought fascinatedly. He wondered just what effect the original Imperial Wisdom Peach had because even this was an unbelievable degree of enhancement for Wang Feng.
He cleared his thoughts and— using his perception — dived into his Dantian. Looking at the endless Ocean of Qi in his Dantian. Wang Feng started circulating his Qi Cultivation Technique.
His hands made a sign, the Qi in his Dantian stirred. He slowly changed his hand sign, smoothly flowing between 3 handsigns. The Qi in his Dantian flowed and started spinning.
It flowed and spun, slowly moving and gathering towards the very center of his Dantian. Wang Feng calmly controlled his Qi and started changing his handsigns into another set.
Instantly, the Qi surged wildly and crunched towards the center at a much faster speed. The Qi that was reaching at the center stayed there and started condensing on itself.
After a few minutes, a good portion of his Qi reserves had turned into a semisolid state, giving a sense of solidifying.
He smiled— the process was much easier than he thought, especially with the help of the Peach's enhancement. Seeing that nearly 20% of his Qi had reached this state, he focused and started molding it.
He turned all the semi-solid Qi into a flat platform, like a tiled ground. While also refining his 80% Qi into the Semi-solid state as well.
It took him some time to get the platform ready— the time in which another 10% of his Qi reached the desired density. So he shifted his focus to the next step.
For a cultivator to enter Foundation Realm, he/she needs to condense their Qi to form something— anything, be it a strcture or even simple platforms— as a Foundation for their further cultivation.
This Foundation would later purify and condense the Qi entering the cultivators body automatically— turning it into a much powerful and pure Qi.
Wang Feng took the newly condensed Qi and started using them as bricks— building blocks— to slowly construct his desired Foundational Structure.
Wang Feng continued his construction: Brick by Brick, wall by wall, floor by floor, until he had completed his Foundational Structure.
He looked at his Foundational Structure with satisfaction. He saw a Multi floor Tower stands tall in his Dantian. it had a total of 7 floors, each floor excluding different colors— corresponding to Wang Feng's Qi Attributes.
[Pic in discord]
Wang Feng inwardly nodded in satisfaction upon seeing the foundational structure, which hovered between illusionary and solid form.
Wang Feng huffed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the foundation was perfectly intact after the condensing. Just then, the surrounding outside world crunched.
The clouds near him swirled, the grass and understory russled, the tree's leaves swayed, the air turned with an immense build of power...and then finally came the Qi.
The Qi in the surrounding few miles stirred and rushed to Wang Feng. Wang Feng felt the Qi Baptism and was slightly shocked by the quantity of Qi getting absorbed into his body.
But the shock was short lived and was soon followed by a surge of excitement. He saw as the Qi entered his Dantian, it then entered the top of the foundation— getting purified to a degree that it turned into Heavy Drops of Liquid Qi before exiting the Foundation Tower and settling beneath it.
As the refinement continued, Wang Feng saw how the tower started becoming less and less illusionary, turning sturdier and solid to some degree.
This was a good sign for Wang Feng, because to advance in the Foundation Realm, the cultivator need to strengthen his/her foundation at each stage...
After a period of time, all the Qi was successfully absorbed and purified.
Wang Feng opened his eyes and smiled, "Foundation Realm...", he muttered while feeling the great changes in his body.
His Qi was obviously many times stronger now, at least 10 times stronger. It had turned from normal liquid state to a heavy liquid state— a state between Yuan Qi and True Qi.
His perception has also transformed into a semi-sixth sense for himself. Which can be said to touch on the barrier of self awakened Divine Sense.
His body, which was previously comparable to a Peak Tier 3 Beast got enhanced further, making it comparable to that of powerful Tier 4.

Wang Feng felt the power in his body and stood up. He tested his strength for a few minutes— making him smile satisfactory.
"I should use these and see what I can get.", Wang Feng muttered while gazing at the 4 Star Diagrams in his palm.
