"Looks like that was the only option..."
There was indeed nothing Xuandu could do about a Saint. He did not press the matter any further. Matters concerning a Saint were better left to his Master. In any case, he was helpless.
Xuandu immediately stepped aside as well.
"Little friend, this Peach is an Innate Spiritual Root. Hurry and taste it!" Zhen Yuanzi pointed at the Peach before them.
Everyone else had one Peach each, but in front of people like Zhen Yuanzi and Xian Junyu, an entire plate of Peaches had been laid out.
It was clear that status determined treatment, too.
"Very well. Since Great Immortal put it that way, I'll have a taste!" As he spoke, Xian Junyu picked up a palm-sized Peach and began eating.
It tasted sweet, much like an ordinary peach. If there was anything different about it, it was only that it could increase one's cultivation.
Xian Junyu clearly felt his cultivation rise slightly.
Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal's cultivation could be improved. Clearly, the title of Innate Spiritual Root was not undeserved.
"How is it, little friend?"
Zhen Yuanzi looked at Xian Junyu with great interest.
At that, Xian Junyu did not show much excitement. Instead, he said calmly:
"It tastes all right, and it can increase cultivation. It truly isn't something ordinary fruit can compare to. But it didn't give me much of a surprise!"
In other words, the Xiantian Ren Water Peach was nothing special.
Hearing Xian Junyu say that, Zhen Yuanzi burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha... The Xiantian Ren Water Peach can increase a Great Luo's cultivation. That alone is already extraordinary."
"There are three thousand six hundred trees of this Spiritual Root. The first one thousand two hundred produce small flowers and fruit, ripening once every three thousand years.
