As it turned out, when a piece of news flew everywhere, it became extremely difficult for people to discern its truthfulness, and even harder to judge whether they were qualified to reap the benefits...
When the rumor spread that "There is an ancient peach tree on Accumulating Thunder Mountain that flowers and fruits once every thousand years, eating one peach grants immortality," many in the world grew restless.
Noble families and clever individuals would seize the opportunity, but seeing that the newly established White Tiger Guards from Imperial City had mobilized, and that Liuyi True Man (originally behind the Six Towns - Elder Ancestor Yan, Yan Muyi) had also led his disciples into action, the noble families could not sit idly.
Who wouldn't desire immortality?
Even though they knew "eating a peach would definitely not grant eternal life," they still harbored the thought "at the very least, it could extend life by hundreds or possibly a thousand years."
