Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 262 The Terrified Xuan Feng

The cultivation of an Innate Spirit Root requires the absorption of a tremendous amount of essence from the heaven and earth. After years of accumulation, it can finally blossom and bear fruit, producing the incomparably precious Flat Peach.

But this once-a-year fruiting, are you sure we’re not just talking about ordinary peaches?

Nuwa’s heart was filled with doubt, and with her vermilion lips slightly parted, she spoke, "Sun Wukong, can you let me see the Flat Peach in your hand?"

She still didn’t believe it. Perhaps there was something unusual about this peach, merely resembling a Flat Peach on the outside but actually just a facade?

The aura contained in this Flat Peach soda could also be simulated through mana with enough intention.

She could do it, although it would be quite difficult, but the Quasi-Saint realm was surely capable of creating a convincing fake.

"Here you go!" Sun Wukong had no hesitation, handing it over with gusto.

With a gentle toss of his hand, he threw the peach to Nuwa. Compared to Flat Peach soda, what did the actual Flat Peach count for? He was long tired of eating them.

Even if a single Flat Peach could be made into ten cups of Flat Peach soda, even ten Flat Peaches wouldn’t tempt him to trade for a cup of Flat Peach soda.

He didn’t care about the effects, it was all about the taste!

He always exercised his body by listening to what his master said about the energy of the Flat Peach.

By now, the effects of the Flat Peach were minimal for him, as anything consumed in excess would result in resistance.

Xuan Feng, still not recovered from the shock, was even more startled by this scene.

To actually... actually throw something at the Goddess—shouldn’t it be presented with both hands, offered respectfully and reverently?

Although it was impolite, Nuwa paid no mind to blame, as her attention was all on the authenticity of the peach, and she was also accustomed to Sun Wukong’s unreasonable behavior.

Unlike others’ arrogant and contemptuous rudeness, Sun Wukong’s impolite actions revealed an innocence of nature, typically without deliberate intent.

Nuwa caught the peach in one hand and closely inspected it while probing with her mana.

However, no matter what she tried, the peach in her hand seemed no different from the nine-thousand-year Flat Peach she remembered. In fact, it surpassed the original in both color and quality.

So strange!

"Sun Wukong, are you certain this peach ripens every year?" Nuwa couldn’t help but ask again.

Her perfect face was now filled with astonishment. It wasn’t that she lacked the composure expected of a saint; it was just too hard to believe!

Sun Wukong scratched his head and confidently said, "Of course, I’ve been an apprentice for ten years now. They bloom and bear fruit every year. Once eaten, you just bury the pit in the soil and a tree will grow the next year, flowering and fruiting like any normal tree."

Wukong was quite curious about this as well. He had planted peach trees on Huaguo Mountain before, but they took three to four years to become full-fledged trees that bore fruit.

In comparison, the peach trees in his master’s courtyard grew much faster. Maybe it was because his master had a better variety of peaches!

Sun Wukong nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, whether it was the taste or the appearance, his master’s Flat Peaches were far superior to the peaches from Huaguo Mountain.

Not to mention the energy contained within the Flat Peaches. It’s just that he’s somewhat tired of eating them now, Sun Wukong thought to himself.

If Nuwa knew what he was thinking, she would have surely scoffed at his lack of knowledge, since better varieties should be harder to grow!

Placing the Flat Peach on the table, Nuwa’s eyes flickered with faint glimmers. To grow in soil and bear fruit within a year?

Was that soil possibly the treasured Nine Heavens Breathing Soil?

That would be too extravagant!

She did have Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, but she used it to create the Human Race, garnering vast Merit Points for her foundation to become a Saint.

The Nine Heavens Breathing Soil is extremely suitable for the Law of Creation, which is why it can create the Human Race, while others cannot.

Who would use this thing for farming? Anyone with a normal mind wouldn’t think that way, such a treasure should naturally be carefully treasured.

But even if the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil were used as fertile soil for planting, it couldn’t possibly reduce the production cycle of the supreme quality Flat Peach Tree from nine thousand years to a mere one year!

Moreover, it had to ensure that the quality of the Flat Peaches remained unchanged, which was simply an impossible task, even for a Saint like her.

Perhaps seeing the doubt on Nuwa’s face, Sun Wukong became a bit anxious and patted his chest while promising earnestly, "I swear on my monkey’s honor, every word I just said is absolutely true!"

Nuwa nodded her head, she wasn’t suspecting anything; the monkey looked like a hothead and didn’t seem to be lying. She was just a little slow to catch on.

Not to mention her, even The Three Pure Ones, her fellow Saints, and those two bald guys from the West would be absolutely baffled if they knew about this.

Because it clearly defied all logic, just like the meals from Chaos Residence that could awaken Divine Skills.

Indeed, Nuwa’s pupils narrowed, she remembered the meals!

Nuwa paused for a moment and then pondered aloud, "Sun Wukong, tell me, what’s this about awakening Divine Skills by eating those meals?"

Although she was well aware that she had gained Divine Skills from the meals, and so had Xuan Feng, she still found it hard to believe, wondering if it was truly a special case or something else?

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong was momentarily stunned, looking at Nuwa’s face, which was filled with a desire to know. He cheerfully clasped his hands and said, "You’ve awakened Divine Skills too? Congratulations, congratulations!"

The efficiency is quite good! Not only has that little phoenix awakened, but even the little phoenix’s mother has done so, no wonder she spent so generously!

So she had received benefits as well!

Also awakened Divine Skills?

Nuwa’s eyes flashed as her heart stirred with emotions. Could it be that the monkey also had Divine Skills and this was not some exception?

"As long as the meal is prepared by my master, there’s a chance to awaken Divine Skills." Seeing that Nuwa did not respond, Sun Wukong explained further.

A chance for everyone! Nuwa was shocked beyond measure.

"Just by eating?" Nuwa asked.

Sun Wukong shook his head and waved his hand carelessly, "Of course not! Awakening Divine Skills through meals depends on luck, and if you continue to eat a meal that has already triggered an awakening, it has no effect at all."

"Only by switching to a different meal do you have the chance to awaken again."

Having said that, Sun Wukong looked very proud as he boasted, "I’ve already awakened several!"

Although he couldn’t compare to his master, compared with others who dined at Chaos Residence, he indeed had reason to be proud.

Awakening continuously? Several Divine Skills awakened?

Nuwa’s mouth hung open slightly, astonished, her saintly poise now nowhere to be found.

"Do you mean to say, by continuing to eat, one could still awaken Divine Skills?" Nuwa didn’t quite believe Sun Wukong’s words.

Awakening even one Divine Skill was already defying the heavens, let alone several?

"Of course! What I’m saying is true!" Sun Wukong scratched his head in frustration and glanced at the menu on the table, pointing and saying, "As long as the dish is on master’s menu, it has the power to awaken Divine Skills, it’s just that the chance decreases with each successive awakening."

Is that even possible?!

Nuwa was deeply astonished and speechless. Just who was this Shopkeeper Chen to be so incredible?!

An Innate Spirit Root Flat Peach that matures every nine thousand years could now bear fruit annually without a change in its potency.
