~7 min read 1,324 words

In the newly built Royal Palace banquet hall.

"Welcome everyone to my Soul-Suppressing Kingdom. To entertain you all and fulfill the duties of a host, I have brought out the Flat Peaches bestowed by the Old Ancestor to share with you all."

Wu Wu Xiangning transformed into a man's appearance, and her deep voice spread throughout the entire palace.

All the guests who came to attend this banquet were confused; lacking sufficient experience, they didn't understand what Flat Peaches were.

Elder Elder Zhenci knew about Flat Peaches because he had seen descriptions in ancient books and had judged it after seeing them with his own eyes.

Not long after, a maid pushed a cart along the flat and eye-catching red carpet and slowly entered the banquet hall.

The maid's appearance could be considered top-tier, but everyone's gaze was entirely attracted by the object covered with red cloth on the cart.

At the same time, they sensed that under the red cloth, a divine object was emitting an alluring aura, seducing them to lift the red cloth.

After swallowing their saliva one after another, no one present dared to be so presumptuous.

This was the home turf of the Soul-Suppressing Kingdom, and there was a mysterious Old Ancestor presiding over it; they would have to have a death wish to dare to cause trouble here.

Next, they saw the maid lift her jade-white arm, and with two slender fingers, she gently pinched a corner of the red cloth and lifted it.

The fruity fragrance belonging to the Flat Peaches, as if some kind of restriction had been lifted, wrapped in the faintly emitted spiritual energy, rushed into the noses of the guests in the hall, making their mouths water.

Wu Wu Xiangning introduced: "This is the Flat Peach, ranked as mythical quality, with the effect of extending life..."

The guests present didn't listen carefully to what Wu Wu Xiangning was saying at all; at this moment, it seemed that only the Flat Peaches remained in their eyes, and everything else was just floating clouds, not worth mentioning.

Someone subconsciously muttered to themselves: "If I could eat one bite, this life would be worth it."

The person sitting next to him also echoed: "Yes, such a divine object is unheard of. I'm afraid this Old Ancestor of the Soul-Suppressing Kingdom is truly a figure from the era of the historical gap."

"These Flat Peaches must have gone extinct in the outside world. I don't know how they taste; coming to the Soul-Suppressing Kingdom this time is a treat for the palate."

The guests began to discuss, all looking forward to tasting the deliciousness of the Flat Peaches.

From the financial power a person displays, one can indirectly see that person's strength.

Without sufficient strength, one wouldn't dare to show off their wealth.

Suddenly, they noticed a strange point.

The maid took out a small, translucent emerald jade knife and began to cut the Flat Peach.

With one cut, juice seeped out; not only did the fruity fragrance become more alluring and delicious, but the misty spiritual energy that escaped had already reached a state of atomization!

The maid seemed not to want to continue enduring this temptation; her hand speed was very fast, and the flesh of the Flat Peach was cut off slice by slice and placed on individual plates.

Guests: "..."

When the plates were brought to the guests by the following maids, their expressions were all very colorful.

Wasn't it promised to fulfill the duties of a host?

Just this?

Each person's plate only had a small slice of fruit; who is this enough for?

They had initially thought it would be one per person; was it really just wishful thinking?

Wu Wu Xiangning seemed not to notice the speechlessness of the guests at all and continued to introduce: "Although this Flat Peach is only three thousand years old, its volume is large enough for you all to have a taste."

Flat Peaches are much larger than ordinary peaches; if it were nine thousand years old, it would be the size of a basketball, six thousand years old would be a circle smaller, and three thousand years old would be another circle smaller.

The maid's cutting method just now was very exquisite; although she couldn't guarantee that the volume of each slice was exactly the same, they looked about the same, enough for everyone to share.

Also worth mentioning is that these Flat Peaches have no pits, which made cutting and distributing them convenient.

The guests listened to Wu Wu Xiangning's words in full this time and were shocked by the description of "three thousand years old."

And listening to this wording, it seemed that this year's Flat Peach was still quite ordinary?

While some people with stronger willpower were still thinking, others couldn't resist the temptation, picked up a toothpick, lifted that slice of Flat Peach flesh, and took a bite.

Although the amount was small, when the juice seeping from the flesh touched their taste buds, they felt as if they were floating, as if they had already ascended to immortality and attained a divine position.

As people tasting Flat Peaches for the first time, having this experience was very normal; even Yun Shen, who had tasted many delicacies, had felt a bit like this at the beginning.

A moment later, most of the fruit flesh had entered the stomachs of the guests present.

Only a very few people with firm willpower collected the fruit flesh, preparing to take it back and hand it over.

The guests who had just eaten the Flat Peach flesh soon noticed that a majestic vitality was filling their bodies, as if they had suddenly become younger!

"This, this, this... just one slice of fruit has such an effect? If I ate the whole thing..." Someone was shocked by the effect of the Flat Peach.

"May I ask Your Majesty, I wonder how much stock of these Flat Peaches you still have? Can you part with some? You can name your price!"

Someone who was more quick-witted directly proposed the intention to purchase.

Hearing this, others also spoke up one after another.

"Since Your Majesty is entertaining us with such a divine object, I assume you must have quite a lot, right? My Danxi Sect has countless rare treasures; you can name any price!"

"My Guchi Mountain also hopes to purchase Flat Peaches; I hope Your Majesty will consider it."

The voices of representatives of various forces sounded one after another, fearing they would be beaten to the punch by others.

Such heavenly treasures of several thousand years must be very precious and limited in quantity; first come, first served.

In the Plague God Kingdom, there were currently no true gods who had condensed a godhead; those pseudo-gods were all limited by lifespan, and for such top-tier life-extending divine objects, they were absolutely hard currency, so they naturally had to compete!

Many pseudo-gods were the guardian deities behind these forces, and they naturally hoped that the big tree behind them could remain evergreen and continue to shelter them.

Wu Wu Xiangning watched the excited guests quietly, the faint smile on her face neither increasing nor decreasing.

This is the charm of mastering core technology; as long as there is sufficient market competitiveness, it will form a seller's market, and others will beg you.

"Everyone, Flat Peaches can naturally be sold. The Old Ancestor had previously agreed to Elder Elder Zhenci's intention to exchange magical beasts for Flat Peaches."

Other resources were of little value to Yun Shen; only these local indigenous magical beasts could bring Yun Shen sufficient value.

In fact, before Wu Wu Xiangning said these words, many people had realized why Elder Elder Zhenci was collecting magical beasts everywhere; it must have been for these Flat Peaches.

Since they were now allowed to purchase them, they would just go and capture magical beasts themselves!
