Chapter 1856 - 1855: Turquoise Pool Peach
The Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book contains records about the Yaochi Peach, and Su Yang has also read them.
The peach in front of him now looks exactly like the description in the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book.
Radiant with a thousand rays, rich in spiritual energy, a mere sniff is refreshing, and eating one grants immortality.
Su Yang was shocked; without a doubt, the peach in his hand is the legendary Immortal Divine Medicine Yaochi Peach.
No wonder this peach has such miraculous effects. The effect of the Yaochi Peach is not just about quick recovery from injuries.
Previously, in the valley, Su Yang did not notice it, because the spiritual energy of this peach was suppressed by the light of the Feather Spirit Palace. So, the peach did not display any radiant light nor emit a feeling of rich spiritual energy, making it look like an ordinary peach.
Now, having left the valley and escaped the suppression of that light, the peach naturally restored its original appearance, revealing the true essence of the Yaochi Peach!
However, on careful thought, this is normal. To maintain a certain level of spiritual energy under such suppression, this peach itself is no ordinary fruit.
That valley is actually the Turquoise Pool of the Queen Mother of the West. According to legend, her Immortal Peach Orchard is planted in the Turquoise Pool. Could it be that the Peach Forest Su Yang discovered by the lake is actually the Queen Mother of the West's Immortal Peach Orchard?
Thinking this, Su Yang couldn't help but feel shocked. Have I been eating the Flat Peach as my meal all this time? And the fact that I can digest it is the most shocking part for Su Yang. It's known that even the offspring of two Divine Beasts, like the Little Turtle, cannot digest so many Flat Peaches. The fact that Su Yang can makes him start to wonder about the extent of his own hidden potential.
The people next to him were also shocked by Su Yang's words. The old eagle stammered, "Yao... Yaochi Peach? What... what Yaochi Peach?"
Everyone looked at Su Yang. They all thought of the Queen Mother of the West's Yaochi Peach. But no one dared to be sure, because it's a Divine Medicine that those great figures in the Heavenly Realm have difficulty obtaining. They couldn't believe that what they were eating was indeed the Yaochi Peach!
"The Yaochi Peach is the Yaochi Peach, what other Yaochi Peach can there be?" Su Yang said, "Have you ever heard of the Queen Mother of the West's Peach Banquet? It is the Peach Banquet where the Queen Mother of the West entertains the immortals. There are three types: those that mature once every three thousand years, once every six thousand years, and once every nine thousand years!"
Everyone looked at each other. Of course, they knew about this kind of peach. But when Su Yang confirmed it completely, they were still so shocked they couldn't speak.
They actually ate such Divine Medicine that even great figures in the Heavenly Realm may not taste?
"Does that mean the ones we picked at that time were all Yaochi Peaches?" The old eagle's spirit lifted. Back then, the Three Eagles of Yanbei were used as laborers by Su Yang, and they climbed trees to pick countless of these Flat Peaches.
Previously, they just considered these Flat Peaches as reserved food supplies. However, after each of the Three Eagles of Yanbei ate one, they couldn't eat any more for a long time. As such, only Su Yang and Qi'er continued to eat them, and even the Little Turtle couldn't consume them, only watching.
Thinking back now, they realized the ones they picked were indeed Yaochi Peaches. How could they accept this!
"Of course!" Su Yang sighed. If he had known these were Yaochi Peaches, he should have picked more of them. In that orchard, with over ten thousand Flat Peach trees, how long would it take to pick them all? To pick all these peaches would be an extraordinary fortune against destiny.
The others were also excitedly looking at Su Yang. Su Yang actually gave them Yaochi Peaches to heal their injuries, making them even more grateful to him.
What Su Yang was pondering in his heart was how much spiritual energy he had accumulated in his body after eating so many Yaochi Peaches. It's indeed magical that his body hadn't exploded from the spiritual energy. Also, where did the spiritual energy from the Yaochi Peaches he consumed go?
At this moment, everyone else began to sit cross-legged. After knowing they ate Yaochi Peaches, everyone wanted to see if their strength had increased because of it.
The first to stand up was the old eagle from the Three Eagles of Yanbei, who had eaten more Yaochi Peaches than others, and his transformation was the most noticeable.
"Oh my God, my strength is now at least fifty percent higher than before!" the old eagle said excitedly, "Why didn't I feel it before?"
At this moment, the second eagle also stood up and exclaimed excitedly, "I also improved by more than forty percent. The effect of the Yaochi Peach is really amazing!"
Others also stood up one after another, clamoring about their changes. After eating the Yaochi Peach, everyone's strengths have increased, at least by thirty percent.
Moreover, this is just what they feel now. This kind of Divine Medicine, once consumed, isn't easily digested, leaving a lot of spiritual energy accumulated within. If they manage to digest this spiritual energy, their forces could increase even further.
"It seems these really are the Yaochi Peaches!" a man exclaimed excitedly, "It really does have such incredible effects!"
"It's strange though, how did we not feel it before?" another man asked in surprise.
"Nonsense. Before, we were in that valley where all our power was sealed by that light, so you couldn't feel the change in strength, how could you feel anything back then?" an old man said, curling his lip.
Many who still had doubts suddenly realized with a dawning understanding.
At this moment, everyone looked at Su Yang. While everyone exclaimed, Su Yang remained silent, his eyes slightly closed, as if feeling the changes within him.
What everyone wanted to know most was the condition of Su Yang's cultivation progress. How much has his strength increased after consuming so many Yaochi Peaches?
After a long time, Su Yang slowly opened his eyes. Seeing everyone watching him with questioning looks, Su Yang smiled and said softly, "My power has increased so much that I can't even estimate it myself!"
Everyone was astonished, unable to estimate—those four words were enough to shock everyone.
But in fact, everyone did not know that even though Su Yang's strength had increased so much, he did not feel the kind of near-Great Perfection realm that Qi Zhishan described.
Su Yang was unsure about the precise extent of his current strength. Perhaps he might be at a similar level to the Beigong War God and others. Or perhaps he would be a bit weaker than them, but not by much.
And this did not match the amount of Flat Peaches Su Yang had consumed. He ate Flat Peaches for several years, with only this level of improvement—it just didn't seem right!
