This nectar peach actually contained Dao Sound and Dao Intent!
This is equivalent to a fragment of the Great Dao. Once absorbed, it's like comprehending the Laws of the Great Dao!
Legend has it that only the most top-tier, supreme Purple-Patterned Flat Peaches have a chance to allow the consumer to comprehend a trace of Dao Principles!
Supreme Purple-Patterned Flat Peaches are far more precious than other flat peaches, taking at least eighty-eight thousand years to yield nine fruits!
In an instant, Hongyun felt the world shift.
Boundless Dao Sound drifted ethereally, endless true meanings of the Great Dao surged and sank!
Immersed within, it took him a long time to snap back to reality.
Hongyun was utterly shocked, looking at Jiang Ping with even greater respect.
The esteemed expert was truly selfless, willing to share such precious Spirit Fruit.
This kindness was truly immeasurable!
Zhen Yuanzi looked at Hongyun's dazed appearance and said with dissatisfaction, "Little Hong, how does it taste?"
Hongyun looked at Zhen Yuanzi and slowly said, "Da Yuan, your Ginseng Fruit is truly extraordinary."
Zhen Yuanzi was quite pleased with himself, feeling rather gratified.
Hongyun, just for this fair assessment, when the Ginseng Fruit ripens next time, I'll definitely cut half for you to taste!
"But, compared to this peach from the Young Master, your Ginseng Fruit is not worth mentioning. It's practically tasteless, astringent, difficult to swallow, and feels like a lump in the throat!"
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi's temper flared, a surge of anger rushing straight to his head!
You good-for-nothing Hongyun, trying to curry favor with the esteemed expert, you're lying with your eyes wide open! It's one thing to belittle my Ginseng Fruit, but to go so far!
You spouted such nonsense, every word unpleasant, every sentence offensive. You've turned the Ginseng Fruit, one of the Ten Innate Spiritual Roots, into something like a common wild fruit!
This is outrageous!
"Little Hong, you've gone too far!" Zhen Yuanzi roared.
"I've gone too far? I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, try it yourself!" Hongyun felt wronged. I'm just speaking the truth, and you, Zhen Yuanzi, are scolding me.
Zhen Yuanzi, seething with anger, flicked his large sleeve. "I won't try it! You say it's delicious, even ten thousand times better than my Ginseng Fruit, so why did you only take one bite? Keep eating."
Hongyun trembled with anger: "Fine, Da Yuan, if you have the guts, don't eat any! Do you think I find it unpalatable? I'm reluctant to eat it!"
Then, he turned to Jiang Ping and said, "Young Master, you saw it too. Such precious Spirit Fruit, one is enough for me. But now that Da Yuan won't eat his share, I'll eat it for him."
Jiang Ping laughed heartily and quickly advised, "Little Hong, eat if you want. It's just some peaches, I don't mind if you eat them all. Da Yuan, don't be angry either. Why don't you try some?"
Zhen Yuanzi snorted lightly, "I appreciate the Young Master's kind offer, but today I must stand my ground. No matter how miraculous your peach is, or any other fruits here, I won't eat a single bite. I want to see how much Little Hong can eat."
Hongyun let out a cold snort, his expression icy, but inwardly he was ecstatic.
Hahaha, Zhen Yuanzi, I never thought someone as astute as you would ever fall into a ditch!
Then I won't be polite.
Hongyun pursed his lips and took a large bite of the peach.
In a flash, the peach was gone.
Without a word, Hongyun picked another peach.
Pure Spiritual Energy surged and churned within his body. Hongyun secretly circulated his magic power, absorbing and digesting it to his heart's content.
Even though he was suppressing his cultivation realm, his aura still involuntarily rose slowly.
For the second nectar peach, Hongyun dared not eat it in large bites, only taking small nibbles.
He ate and digested simultaneously, and if he couldn't digest it, he would compress and store it within his body to absorb and comprehend later.
Hongyun spent a long time eating the second peach, much to Zhen Yuanzi's displeasure.
He couldn't help but mock, "Little Hong, looking at you, it must be hard to swallow. You've taken so long for just one peach."
Hongyun didn't reply, carefully collecting the two peach pits.
These were also treasures, excellent and rare top-tier materials for refining artifacts and pills.
"Young Master, may I try some of the other fruits?" Hongyun asked hesitantly.
He worried about leaving an impression of insatiability on the esteemed expert, but these Spirit Fruits were simply too tempting.
He had initially thought the first nectar peach coincidentally contained Dao Intent, but unexpectedly, the second one had the same effect.
With such a great opportunity before him, how could Hongyun bear to let it go?
Jiang Ping chuckled, "It's fine, don't be so polite."
Hongyun acted as if no one else was there and picked a bunch of grapes.
These grapes looked extraordinary, with seven colors on a single bunch.
Red, white, purple, blue...
Hongyun initially thought they were just for show, as things that looked good were often superficial and lacked efficacy.
However, a single grape melted in his mouth.
The abundant energy surged wildly within his body. At this moment, Hongyun felt he had reached the limit his body could contain.
Even more astonishing to him was that each differently colored grape actually represented a different Great Dao law!
Forcibly eating four or five more, Hongyun's body finally reached its limit. He didn't dare to continue eating.
What if he couldn't control himself and leveled up on the spot, and the exposed aura disturbed the esteemed expert? That would truly be a sin, and even more so, a calamity.
Don't let the esteemed expert's constant polite smiles fool you; if he were to turn hostile, he would be cold and ruthless. Hongyun had deeply experienced this.
Zhen Yuanzi had been observing Hongyun and naturally had a faint sense of his changes.
At this moment, Hongyun's vital energy was abundant, Dao Rhyme subtly permeated his being, and a faint, imperceptible golden light was emanating from him.
Zhen Yuanzi was utterly shocked. This was a phenomenon of the Dao Body, appearing only when the Dao Rhyme within the body was abundant and spiritual energy was full.
How could it manifest from Hongyun?
He was perfectly clear about Hongyun's cultivation realm.
With Hongyun's current cultivation, it was absolutely impossible for him to achieve this.
Could it be that this strange phenomenon was caused by these Spirit Fruits?
Zhen Yuanzi's heart instantly burned with fervor. It must be so.
"You good-for-nothing Hongyun, you're so cunning now, secretly hoarding Creation all to yourself, even swallowing my opportunities."
"I considered you my closest friend, yet your heart is too black."
"Despicable!"
Zhen Yuanzi rubbed his hands and asked obsequiously, "Little Hong, tell me honestly, how do these Spirit Fruits taste?"
Hongyun curled his lips. "Whether they taste good or not, you're not eating them anyway, so why ask me?"
Zhen Yuanzi faltered, then chuckled sheepishly. "I was just thinking, the Young Master brought us here, and he's been so hospitable. I can't possibly be rude and not try them. It's necessary to have a taste."
"So I saw you eating the peaches and grapes and wanted to ask which one tasted better."
Hongyun snorted coldly. "Don't try to fool me. You said earlier you wouldn't eat them, and now you're acting like this. Where's your shame?"
Zhen Yuanzi was furious internally. "This Hongyun cannot be kept. I'm cutting ties with him when we get back!"
Jiang Ping quickly stepped in to mediate. "You two are truly amusing. Don't worry, you can eat as much as you like."
