Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 261: A Courtyard Full of Flat Peaches
She could tell that Sun Wukong’s reverence for his master had reached an extreme extent; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so eager when talking about things.
Nuwa slowly brought her red lips closer, and, under Xuan Feng’s curious and Wukong’s pained gaze, she gently sipped.
The unique chill of the Flat Peach juice, combined with its sweet peach flavor, instantly swept through Nuwa’s entire mouth, sweet but not heavy.
Her taste buds tingled slightly with the overwhelming sensation of the peach juice, spicy yet not burning.
There was not a hint of discomfort, but rather, as the mixture of sensations intermingled, the taste was enhanced to the utmost, even more comfortable. With one gulp, it was extremely satisfying.
Nuwa couldn’t help but squint her eyes with pleasure. Ah, that refreshing feeling!
With one swallow, this clear sensation!
Nuwa’s brows smoothed out, her beautiful face like thawing ice and snow, captivating.
Regrettably, no one appreciated this.
At the moment, both Xuan Feng and Sun Wukong were focused on the cup in Nuwa’s hands, one curious and longing, the other full of regret.
His Flat Peach juice! A pang of pain struck Sun Wukong’s heart.
Suddenly, Nuwa furrowed her brows, feeling slightly alarmed as gas began to rise up from her stomach to her throat; she had to burp.
Belch!
Nuwa couldn’t hold it in and let out a small burp, immediately feeling embarrassed.
She couldn’t believe she had done something so indecorous!
If not for her inner depth of character, her face would surely have blushed with embarrassment by now.
But, Nuwa pressed her lips together. That burp was truly satisfying. How could one be enough!
The chilly tingle prompted Nuwa to continue drinking. The indescribably comfortable feeling made her want to exclaim with joy.
However, the dignity of a Saint still preserved her last bit of decorum.
One drink followed another, and Nuwa couldn’t stop herself. Until the end, she finished even the last drop at the bottom of the cup.
Is it all gone?!
Sun Wukong’s eyelids twitched, his heart bleeding. All he had managed to get away with was this one cup, and now it had turned into someone else’s dowry.
Sun Wukong almost wanted to slap himself across the face; he really should have stopped after simply mentioning it, but no, he had to use the real thing for a demonstration.
After all the Flat Peach soda went down, another burp emerged. It wasn’t loud due to her restraint, but it was quite lengthy.
Nuwa had completely gotten used to it, after all, she was a Saint. Who would dare gossip about her?
Though she could easily suppress the embarrassment of burping, her heart told her not to. She did not want to miss out on this thoroughly refreshing feeling.
Nuwa, reluctant to let go, put down the cup. Holding back the urge to lick her lips, she took out a handkerchief and lightly wiped her red lips.
This Flat Peach soda was just as this monkey had said, in two words, delicious!
Just as she was about to say something, Nuwa suddenly felt a faint Qi wandering inside her body. Being someone with transcendent mana, she instantly knew the source of this Qi was the Flat Peach soda she had just drunk.
Upon closer feeling, her heart filled with surprise. This Qi, she was very familiar with it!
Flat Peach, and even for nine thousand years!
Back in her teacher’s Taoist Palace, she had eaten plenty of them, being one of the Innate Ten Great Spiritual Roots, there were endless benefits.
She loved to eat them when she was still a Daluo Golden Immortal, but later their effect on her was negligible.
Until now, even if she consumed a hundred Flat Peaches in a row, it wouldn’t bolster her, but these were exclusive to her teacher, who later passed them all on to the young lady of the Jade Pool.
Why would such a thing appear in this glass of Flat Peach soda now? Nuwa wondered, puzzled.
Looking up at Sun Wukong, he asked, "How does this Flat Peach soda have the effect of aiding cultivation? What have you added to it that it can still assist in cultivation?"
Xuan Feng’s mind stirred. Could this thing really be that good? And the taste—judging by the reaction of Her Majesty, it must be outstanding!
On hearing this, Sun Wukong suppressed the sorrow in his heart and forced a smile, waving his hands repeatedly, "We haven’t randomly added anything."
"Absolutely natural!"
With that, Sun Wukong took out a huge and succulent Flat Peach.
"The main ingredient of our Flat Peach soda and freshly squeezed peach juice is this!"
It was this that Nuwa recognized at just a glance.
"Where did you get this nine thousand year Flat Peach?" Nuwa asked aloud.
This was what puzzled her the most: this item had become exclusive to the Jade Pool in the present Three Realms, so how could Chaos Residence have nine thousand year Flat Peaches as a raw material?
Nine thousand year Flat Peach?! Xuan Feng was stunned, her eyes filled with astonishment. Was this the legendary nine thousand year Flat Peach?
Xuan Feng gazed intently at the big peach in Sun Wukong’s hand, which was emanating Immortal Qi, feeling somewhat shocked.
She thought it looked somewhat familiar; it was the Innate Spirit Root Flat Peach, indeed. She had tasted it before, but at most, she had only tasted a six thousand year Flat Peach.
And of course, she knew how tremendous the energy contained within this single peach was!
"It’s naturally from my master!"
Sun Wukong casually tossed the nine thousand year Flat Peach in his hand, as though such a treasure, coveted by all in the Three Realms, was nothing more than a common stone picked up from the roadside.
"Is this thing very precious? My master has a whole yard of them. It’s quite a struggle to finish eating them, after all, they fruit a full tree once they do, and they ripen once a year."
Sun Wukong spoke with an air of familiarity, almost as if he was about to start juggling with the peach in his hand.
Xuan Feng, Nuwa: ??!!
Whether Flat Peaches are precious or not, just ask any cultivator in the Three Realms and you’ll know!
Why do so many members from the Immortal Clans come to the Flat Peach Banquet at the Heavenly Court every time? Do you really think it’s because of the court’s dignity, or is it because they are hoping to get a Flat Peach at the banquet?
For Quasi-Saints and Saints, the effects of these peaches are minuscule, but for Daluo Golden Immortals and those below in terms of cultivation, the benefits are immense.
Nuwa’s eyelids twitched; Sun Wukong was actually saying that Chaos Residence’s yard was full of peach trees. She would believe him if he said it was the Jade Pool.
But clearly, there’s no connection between the Jade Pool and Shopkeeper Chen, the Immortal Flat Peach Orchard and Chaos Residence.
However, it wasn’t impossible to plant Flat Peach trees. Although this plant was passed on to the Jade Pool by a teacher, it was never declared throughout the Three Realms that only the Jade Pool could plant it.
It was just an unspoken rule. Those Saints and high-ranking Quasi-Saints had no need to plant them.
Furthermore, the Jade Pool kept a tight watch on this matter. The rest, even if they possessed Flat Peaches, wouldn’t dare to plant them. Moreover, cultivating Flat Peach trees required special skills; it wasn’t something one could simply tend to carelessly.
There had never been news of any Immortal Clan growing this plant.
But things always have the potential for change.
In terms of quantity, Flat Peaches could definitely be considered the most abundant among the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots.
The Peach Orchard alone has three thousand six hundred trees. Considering how vast the Primordial World is, there might be some elsewhere that Shopkeeper Chen may have found.
With his unfathomably mysterious methods, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to grow a yard full of Flat Peaches.
However, this wasn’t what astonished her the most.
Nuwa stared at the Flat Peach that Sun Wukong was toying with in his hand; what she found most unbelievable was that Sun Wukong claimed Flat Peaches ripened once a year!
Isn’t that just nonsense?
Anyone with slight common sense should know that Flat Peaches come in three grades: those that ripen every three thousand years, six thousand years, and nine thousand years.
