Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

But the Flower Fairy on the side was different.

The Flower Fairy's eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, as she stared at the five peach trees laden with ripe peaches, completely stunned.

"This...this..."

She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

And that's how five acquired spiritual roots were formed?

In just a few days, five peach trees were cultivated from scratch.

Moreover, those five peach trees have already blossomed and borne fruit, laden with peaches.

The Flower Fairy looked at the Yellow Dragon with nothing but awe... nothing but awe.

This Emperor Ziwei is not only highly skilled and well-connected, but his methods for cultivating spiritual roots are also unparalleled in the primordial world.

Huanglong paid no attention to the gaze of the Flower Fairy.

He picked several peaches and casually tossed them to the Flower Fairy and Zi Ling.

"Try it," Huang Long said casually.

Zi Ling took the peach and started eating it without saying a word.

She would eat one and then throw it away, as long as her husband could cultivate it.

Taking a bite, Zi Ling frowned slightly. Although this peach was sweet and juicy and full of spiritual energy, it was far inferior to the ones she ate in the Lingxiao Palace.

"Not bad, not bad!" Zi Ling affirmed her master's hard work and took another big bite.

The Flower Fairy stared blankly at the peach in her hand, lost in thought.

She was merely a minor immortal in the Golden Immortal Realm, responsible for tending to this innate top-grade spiritual root in the Peach Garden.

The peach tree would bear thirty-six peaches at a time, each a rare treasure in the primordial world. Although she spent her days with the peach tree, she was not entitled to eat a single one.

She never imagined that she would one day be able to eat a peach, even if it was only a peach that grew from her acquired spiritual root.

The Fairy of a Hundred Flowers looked at the peach in her hand. The pink and red skin of the peach was shimmering with a faint spiritual light and exuded a sweet fragrance.

She swallowed hard, but hesitated. Was this peach really something she could eat?

Huanglong noticed the Flower Fairy's hesitation, smiled slightly, and said:

"Don't worry, there are plenty more on the tree."

The Flower Fairy looked at the five trees laden with peaches, which numbered at least several hundred.

He looked at the peach in his hand again, gritted his teeth, and carefully took a bite.

The moment the sweet juice burst in her mouth, the Flower Fairy's eyes lit up.

It was a wonderful feeling she had never experienced before. Abundant spiritual energy, boundless vitality, and profound Daoist charm all manifested, nourishing her physical body and primordial spirit.

The Fairy of a Hundred Flowers finished the peaches in a few bites and closed her eyes to feel the changes within her body.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, filled with surprise and gratitude, her cultivation at the Golden Immortal realm having advanced significantly. She respectfully bowed to Huanglong, her voice brimming with sincere gratitude:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Huanglong waved his hand, indicating that Ziling and the Hundred Flower Fairy could do as they pleased.

He picked a peach and tasted it himself.

He took a bite and savored the profound meaning within.

This acquired peach contains a trace of the innate Daoist essence of the Ren Water Peach, inherited from the innate top-grade spiritual root. Although it is faint, it is indeed present.

The abundant spiritual energy provides certain benefits to Golden Immortals and Taiyi Realm cultivators!

It can further enhance one's cultivation and prolong lifespan for those below the Golden Immortal level.

However, compared to the peaches produced by those with innate top-grade spiritual roots, the difference is immeasurable.

A single, top-grade peach of immortality can enhance the root and source of a living being's spirit. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal can comprehend the laws of immortality. It also has a tremendous beneficial effect on a Quasi-Saint who is eating a peach of immortality for the first time.

The Heavenly Peaches are effective for Golden Immortals, but their effect is greatly reduced for Taiyi Realm cultivators. By the time a Great Luo Golden Immortal reaches that realm, they are basically just there to taste.

Such peaches do not meet Haotian's requirements.

Huang Long shook his head, finished eating the peach in his hand, and turned to walk to the peach tree with the innate top-grade spiritual root.

He sat down cross-legged and took out a tea set he had casually crafted. The teapot was made of white jade and the cups were made of celadon. It was simple yet elegant, and was a top-grade spiritual treasure.

He took out three or five tea leaves and put them into the teapot, and then drew in the pure water from the heavenly void.

I brewed a pot of Enlightenment Tea, and its fragrant aroma filled the air.

The aroma of the tea is delicate and profound; smelling it brings a sense of tranquility and clarity to the mind.

He picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

As the Enlightenment Tea entered my throat, a refreshing sensation flowed into my mind, making my consciousness clearer and my understanding of the Great Dao more acute.

Huanglong closed his eyes, sat under the peach tree, and began to ponder deeply.

What he was comprehending was none other than the fundamental Dao of this innate, top-grade spiritual root, the Ren Water Peach.

He wanted to see if there were any other methods besides branching out to cultivate the acquired spiritual root, to re-cultivate this innate spiritual root.

The peaches produced need not be of the highest quality, but at least they must be of a standard that the Heavenly Court can present at the Peach Banquet.

For the Heavenly Court, a superior-grade acquired spiritual root is still too low.

If one can reach the lowest level of the Innate Realm, and the quantity is large, it would be enough to support the prestige of the Heavenly Court!

Huang Long frowned slightly, lost in deep thought.

His divine sense penetrated the essence of the peach tree, sensing the innate Dao patterns flowing within it. Those Dao patterns were incredibly detailed, each stroke exquisite and containing the ultimate secrets of the Ren Water Dao.

He pondered, thought, and deduced.

Time quietly slipped away around him...!

The Flower Fairy and Zi Ling dared not disturb him, and stood at a distance, watching quietly.

Zi Ling sat listlessly on a rock, holding a peach in her hand and munching on it.

Having already tasted two top-grade peaches, she felt that this peach with her acquired spiritual root had no other benefits besides its good taste.

The Flower Fairy looked at Huanglong nervously, her heart filled with unease.

She didn't know what the Ziwei Emperor was thinking, nor did she know if he could come up with a solution.

All she knew was that whether the Heavenly Peach Banquet could proceed, and whether His Majesty and the Queen Mother would be satisfied, depended on this Emperor Ziwei.

Under the peach tree, the aroma of the Enlightenment Tea gradually dissipated.

Huanglong opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them.

He already had a preliminary plan in mind.

Although it may not be successful, it's worth a try.

He suddenly realized something: in the Heavenly Court of later generations, there were 3,600 peach trees in the Peach Garden, which were divided into three grades: ripening once every 3,000 years, ripening once every 6,000 years, and ripening once every 9,000 years.

But who says those 3,600 plants have to be cultivated separately? They can be 3,600 plants, or they can be just one peach tree.

Whether it's one peach tree or three thousand six hundred peach trees, it doesn't matter, as long as the peaches produced are of good quality.

Huang Long stood up, looked up at the Ren Shui peach tree that was over ten feet tall, and smiled slightly.

His primordial spirit once again penetrated into the fundamental Dao of the peach tree. This time, he did not do so to comprehend the Dao patterns, but to seek that faint trace of spiritual intelligence.
