Chapter 1231: Immortal Apricot, Wind-Thunder Wings (First update, requesting everything)

The appearance of this large tree did not differ much from other large trees; its branches were gnarled and dense, possessing a canopy shaped like an umbrella.

Among the dense branches, one could vaguely see two fruits, one green and one silver.

These were two apricots; the green apricot was surrounded by raging winds, while the silver apricot faintly emitted the sound of wind and thunder, clearly not ordinary items.

Judging from the feedback of his Mental Power, this was a Mid-Grade Top-Grade Spirit Root, though it was only a step away from being Superior Quality.

As for these two strange apricots, they had both reached the level of a Lower-Grade World Wonder and were clearly ripe.

"This is an Immortal Apricot Tree!"

Li Zhangsheng could not help but reveal a look of wild joy; this Immortal Apricot Tree was a renowned Spirit Root.

The Immortal Apricot Tree only cultivates two Immortal Apricots to maturity every five hundred years; these two Immortal Apricots have different attributes—one is Wind, one is Thunder—and can be consumed by humans or Demon Pets.

If one consumes the Wind Attribute Immortal Apricot, a pair of Wind Wings will grow on their back, allowing them to fly by riding the wind, enter the blue void, and soar above the Nine Heavens, excelling in speed; if it is the Thunder Attribute Immortal Apricot, a pair of Thunder Wings will grow on their back, granting the ability to command thunder and lightning, excelling in explosive power.

If both Immortal Apricots are consumed at the same time, a pair of Wind-Thunder Wings will grow, possessing the advantages of both Wind Wings and Thunder Wings simultaneously.

Besides this, the Immortal Apricot can also unearth potential, but because the energy is too abundant, it must not be consumed by anyone other than a Demon King-level Demon Pet or a King, otherwise, it will cause serious consequences; those who cannot withstand it will explode and die, and even if they do withstand it, they will become neither human nor ghost, and will be unable to recover.

This is the characteristic of the Immortal Apricot, but its ability is undeniably powerful, and crucially, it has no attribute restrictions. If fed to a slow Demon Pet, the lack of speed and explosive power will no longer be an issue.

Among Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets, the slowest are Yuangungun and Adai; the other Demon Pets have absolutely no such concerns.

"Better give it to Adai!"

Based on his analysis of the two Demon Pets, Li Zhangsheng ultimately leaned toward Adai.

There is no helping it; Yuangungun is a standard meat shield, and Yuangungun, who possesses the Wind Attribute, is even faster than Adai, essentially being a flexible, large meatball.

In truth, speed is not a flaw for Yuangungun, but it is not particularly outstanding either.

Adai, on the other hand, is truly slow, not to mention its flight speed, which relies entirely on the flight ability of the Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl, and the Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl is merely a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure of the Heaven and Earth Essence grade, which results in Adai's flight speed being inferior to ordinary Flying Demon Pets.

It is precisely because of this flaw in speed that Adai rarely has the opportunity to execute a one-hit kill; often, its companions have already cleanly and efficiently finished off the opponent while it is still slowly 'traveling' behind.

Hmm, not once, twice, or three times, but countless times.

Of course, Li Zhangsheng could also have Adai and Yuangungun consume the Wind Apricot and Thunder Apricot separately, but doing so would fail to achieve the 1+1 > 2 advantage.

If Adai possesses the Wind-Thunder Wings, not only will its speed become significantly faster, but its explosive power will also skyrocket, giving it a greater hope of executing a one-hit kill.

Before that, he must first break the Forbidden Array of the Medicine Garden.

If he did not have the Secret Realm Token, Li Zhangsheng might have felt troubled by this, because the Forbidden Array of the Medicine Garden contains a Self-Destruction Restriction.

The next moment, using the Secret Realm Token, Li Zhangsheng not only cut off the energy channel feeding into the Medicine Garden but also transmitted the energy within the Medicine Garden to other places.

The energy concentration in the Medicine Garden quickly became sparse; soon, the Forbidden Array and restrictions began to flicker violently, which was a manifestation of insufficient energy.

Pop~ Pop-pop-pop~

Without subsequent energy to maintain them, the Forbidden Array and restrictions in the Medicine Garden could no longer be sustained and annihilated like popping beans.

Li Zhangsheng opened the Secret Realm entrance and had Xiaoguai lead the team of Spirit Planters to begin relocating the precious spiritual plants in the Medicine Garden.

Aside from the Immortal Apricot Tree, there were no other Top-Grade Spiritual Roots, but the remaining Spirit Roots were no lower than Intermediate, with even a few High-level Spiritual Roots, and there were even several species on the verge of extinction.

"The auxiliary materials for the Pseudo Super Grade Pill, the Four Symbols Return to Origin Pill, are complete."

After identifying these Spirit Roots, Li Zhangsheng smiled once again; in this way, only the main ingredient, the Yaochi Return to Origin Grass, remained.

The Star Palace belongs to the Heavenly Realm and is an indispensable part of the Heavenly Realm; perhaps there exists a passage to enter Yaochi.

Of course, the passage is likely in a closed state, but there is hope nonetheless.

Li Zhangsheng plucked the two Immortal Apricots and threw them directly into Adai's mouth.

Given Adai's massive size, the two Immortal Apricots were no different from ants; before it even had time to chew, they slid directly from its throat into its stomach—straight to the stomach.

Adai lay on the ground, closing its eyes to digest.

In the blink of an eye, Adai was enveloped by a large amount of green Wind Energy and silver Thunder Energy.

Suddenly, two slight protrusions began to appear on both sides of Adai's back; as time passed, the two protrusions grew larger and larger.

Sizzle~ Sizzle~

In just a few minutes, a pair of green and silver wings surged out from Adai's back and rapidly expanded to a size matching Adai.

【Spirit Name】: Bronze Behemoth (Growth Stage, Demi-God Beast, condensed Essence Origin, greatly enhances skill power; Essence Origin Protection: exempts some damage, depending on the opponent's realm.) <>

【Spirit Realm】: Demon Saint 3rd Rank

【Spirit Race】: Perfect Sovereign

【Spirit Quality】: Epic

【Spirit Bloodline】: Golden Behemoth (Vigorous), Houtu (Vigorous)

【Spirit Attribute】: Earth + Gold

【Spirit Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Weakness】: None <>

The effect of the Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricot varies from beast to beast; if it were Aixi or Kailan, who already excel in speed and explosive power, their speed and explosive power would likely not improve for long, but for those slow Demon Pets, the Wind-Thunder Wings will provide great assistance, directly turning their flaws into advantages.

Such a heaven-defying effect is undeniably powerful; the two Immortal Apricots are indeed worthy of being Lower-Grade World Wonders.

It is just that, even with the bonus of the Central Medicine Garden, it will likely take another hundred years or so for the next batch of Immortal Apricots to mature.

"Adai, give it a try, but don't cause any damage."

Following Li Zhangsheng's order, Adai flapped its Wind-Thunder Wings; a sharp sound of wind and thunder resounded through the Medicine Garden, Adai's figure suddenly became blurred, and then, unable to brake in time, its head slammed directly into the palace ceiling.

Because the Forbidden Array and restrictions of the Medicine Garden had failed, Adai's head forcibly broke through the ceiling and then became directly 'embedded' inside.

It was, after all, the Qiankun King's palace, so it was naturally extremely sturdy, preventing Adai from piercing through it all at once.

Adai's head had suddenly entered a dark and tight space; it hurriedly exerted force with both arms, grabbing the ceiling to pull its head out, and immediately spat out a mouthful of saliva containing a large amount of debris with a 'pfft' sound.
