Eating Fruit
Using the shuttle device of the Kunlun Sacred Land, Zhang Xuezhou used the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Shifting Disc five times.
As a fragrant aroma wafted over and countless peach blossoms bloomed, Zhang Xuezhou took a deep breath, feeling that he had finally found his place.
The Drunken Peach from the Kunlun Sacred Land is one of the ingredients for Nine Treasures Wine, and this rare ingredient can also cause drunkenness.
If Zhang Xuezhou were to encourage the Buddha Son Shigong to take a few pills, everything would be much easier once the man was drunk.
"Let's go, let's go, Buddha, I've found a familiar place," Zhang Xuezhou urged.
"Have we arrived yet? I feel a little dizzy, and my vision is blurry. Have we been infected?"
"It's all flowers, that's the point. This place is so confusing, it's hard to tell what's real and what's fake, but nothing will happen!"
"Oh!"
The Buddha Son Shigong held Zhang Xuezhou tightly, feeling the warmth of Zhang Xuezhou's body. He finally realized that it was not an illusion, and that he was still in normal mental and physical control. He followed Zhang Xuezhou to an orchard.
"Come on, there are many treasures here. I relied on eating fruit here back then, and then my cultivation progressed straight to the top!"
Zhang Xuezhou kept boasting, then pointed to the orchard.
"Let's eat some fruit to strengthen our bodies first," Zhang Xuezhou said. "These fruits are excellent!"
"Can we eat whatever we want here?" asked the Buddha Son Shigong.
"Absolutely, leave it to me," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If you don't believe me, I'll go eat first!"
"I believe it, I believe it!"
Although he verbally proclaimed his belief in Zhang Xuezhou, the Buddha Son Shigong did not dare to take action.
He followed Zhang Xuezhou and they entered a peach orchard. The orchard was filled with lush green peach leaves, blooming peach blossoms, and peaches of various colors, including white, green, and red, hiding among the leaves. Each peach tree had three or five fruits hanging on it, which looked extremely strange.
"This fruit is good!"
Zhang Xuezhou didn't want to pick the red berries, because red berries signify ripeness and are at their most potent intoxicating.
He didn't want to eat unripe fruit either. Unripe fruit meant it was still growing, and it would inevitably be sour, bitter, and astringent, making it difficult to swallow. It would easily ruin Zhang Xuezhou's plan to get the Buddha Son Shigong drunk.
I'll eat first!
Zhang Xuezhou picked a white peach, rubbed the white fuzz off the skin with his hands, and then took a bite.
Wow, they can really eat!
Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou had eaten more than half of a peach, Buddha Son Shigong was overjoyed and also reached out and picked a white peach.
"Absolutely! Last time I ate forty-nine peaches, this time I'm going to eat eighty-one peaches!" Zhang Xuezhou boasted.
"I want to eat eighty-one too!"
Eat your fill! There's all the fruit you can eat here!
Zhang Xuezhou repeatedly encouraged the Buddha Son Shigong, and he ate and swallowed the peaches, feeling intoxicated by their fragrance, but he was not drunk at all.
He couldn't help but ponder that his cultivation level was no longer comparable to what it used to be, and since he possessed the Poison Avoidance Technique, the effects of consuming the Drunken Peach would be minimal.
However, he possessed a poison-avoidance technique, while Buddha Son Shigong did not. When Buddha Son Shigong passed out drunk, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he would be completely unharmed.
"There are plenty of fruits here, so eating a few of Master's Drunken Peach is no big deal!"
Zhang Xuezhou pondered for a few seconds, then glanced at his own and Buddha Son Shigong's bellies, realizing that even if the two of them could eat a lot, that was about it.
"Let's go, we'll eat our way through!"
Zhang Xuezhou encouraged the Buddha Son Shigong with a few words.
Having figured out his strengths, Zhang Xuezhou felt much more at ease picking peaches again and began reaching out to grab some.
"This fruit is really effective! I feel like the injured parts of my body are being nourished and flowing smoothly again, and... and my energy has been restored!"
After eating a white peach, the Buddha Son Shigong felt an incredible change in his body.
His physical wounds were slowly healing, and his energy was constantly surging, thanks to the blood essence he had previously ingested for conditioning and harmonization.
Let alone following Zhang Xuezhou to consume 81 fruits, even if he only consumes 49, he would still have considerable fortune, and might even be able to reach the Sole Self Realm- Mastery Realm.
This incredible fortune came so quickly that even the hands and feet of the Buddha Son Shigong trembled slightly.
He exhaled deeply, feeling his breath filled with an intoxicating fragrance.
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou start picking out red peaches to eat, he didn't hesitate to pick one as well.
An even more powerful effect began to nourish the body, Buddha Son Shigong felt a breath of turbid air being expelled, making him feel as if he were about to ascend to a higher realm.
He even felt a subtle power implanted in his flesh and blood, a power that gave him a kind of intoxication.
Eat! Eat as much as you want!
Zhang Xuezhou had been knocked out after eating just one Drunken Peach back then, but now he had eaten two without any effect, while Buddha Son Shigong seemed to be only slightly drunk. Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but make a fuss.
"The more fruit we eat here, the better the effect; it can even benefit us for several years," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"Dongfang Shuo, I didn't follow you for nothing! Waaah, my suffering is finally over!"
Just thinking about how he had lost his virginity and was forced into marriage, Buddha Son Shigong felt that everything was worthwhile. It was worth the effort of sending Zhang Xuezhou thousands of miles to the Kunlun Sacred Land, and the other party had kept his word and directly led him to devour the heavenly materials and earthly treasures of the Kunlun Sacred Land.
When are we leaving?
After thinking for a moment, the Buddha Son Shigong quickly inquired about the escape route.
"If you're satisfied, let's go," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"Then I'm definitely not satisfied now," replied the Buddha Son Shigong.
"If we're satisfied, let's leave!"
Zhang Xuezhou and Buddha Son Shigong talked back and forth, but in the end, they both felt that they hadn't said anything at all.
However, Buddha Son Shigong was very disciplined. He would eat whatever Zhang Xuezhou picked, trying to maintain consistency between them.
Having witnessed Zhang Xuezhou's ability to enter and leave the Kunlun Sacred Land, he now stayed close to Zhang Xuezhou, doing the same thing to prevent unpredictable consequences.
Zhang Xuezhou was in a terrible predicament because of Buddha Son Shigong's behavior. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and keep eating, glancing at Buddha Son Shigong was eating with him from time to time.
Later, Zhang Xuezhou felt disgusted and couldn't help but start gnawing on the unripe green fruit.
"The medicinal effects of this green fruit are truly amazing!"
Seeing the wrinkled face of the Buddha Son Shigong, who was still gnawing on green fruit alongside him, Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to swallow it down.
Whatever Zhang Xuezhou ate, Buddha Son Shigong ate too, leaving Zhang Xuezhou with no choice but to follow suit.
Relying on his ability to avoid poison, he ate whatever he wanted until he saw the Buddha Son Shigong swaying unsteadily, which gave him a small sense of joy.
"Come on, have two more, then the two of us will have a total of forty-nine," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"I... I can't eat anymore. How did you manage to eat forty-nine peaches last time!"
The Drunken Peach didn't get the Wet Buddha Son Shigong Buddha Son Shigong drunk, but it made him so full that he felt unwell.
He stared wide-eyed, feeling a large lump forming in his stomach.
With the stomach so hard, it seems like the food is indigestible and can only be absorbed slowly by the body. No wonder Zhang Xuezhou mentioned that the effects would last for several years.
"Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly! You'll need to eat your fill to have the strength to improve your cultivation!"
Seeing that the Buddha Son Shigong was swaying and starting to lose his balance, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but continue to persuade him.
He patted his belly, indicating that he could still eat, which made the Buddha Son Shigong reluctantly accept the Drunken Peach.
When it comes to eating, Buddha Son Shigong is definitely no match for Zhang Xuezhou.
The Poison Avoidance Technique reduced the toxicity, preventing Zhang Xuezhou from suffering any negative effects. Furthermore, the Grain Avoidance Instruction him a near-immortal physique, gave Zhang Xuezhou the ability to compress food in his abdomen, allowing him to consume far more food at once than ordinary people.
The Buddha Son Shigong was so full he could hardly swallow anymore, while Zhang Xuezhou was only half full.
Zhang Xuezhou urged them on and continued to entice them to lead the Buddha Son Shigong through the peach grove.
As a faint golden light appeared before his eyes, Zhang Xuezhou saw a tree of a different color in front of him, with tiny, human-shaped fruits shimmering and swaying among the green leaves.
"Is this the fruit that guided Cai Ma in his cultivation of destiny arts?"
Just by seeing the shape of the fruit, Zhang Xuezhou recalled fragments of his memory of spying on Cai Ma.
This delighted him, as he lacked perception while practicing the Longevity Technique, and he felt that he could be transformed into a little genius in the art of life cultivation, just like Cai Ma.
