Chapter 47: It’s An Efficient Spirit Recovery Peach!
Under Big Willow’s soothing, Little Peach no longer rejected the researchers and the testing.
Approaching the detection instruments one by one in a somewhat confused manner.
Although the researchers were also seeing this mimicked Golden Powder Peach Demon Tree for the first time and appeared very curious, they all maintained strong professional conduct by staying at their positions without delaying the detection at all.
Race, age, Spiritual Power Value, initial attributes—these were all as expected, and the detection results matched those shown on Ge Bai’s Spirit Plant Cultivation Atlas.
When it came to the Skill Measurement phase, there was a slight issue.
Little Peach jumped around on the Skill Testing Platform, unwilling to actively use its skills.
“Student Ge Bai, we see that this Golden Powder Peach Demon Tree is still quite young. Could it be that its Skill Mastery is not very good yet?”
“If that’s the case, we can skip this Measurement phase for now.”
A beautiful researcher with a clear face and gold-rimmed glasses looked at Little Peach’s detection data and thoughtfully helped them out.
She kindly added, “No need to rush. Generally, Golden Powder Peach Demon Trees only commonly master the Spirit Recovery Peach skill around two years of age.”
Ge Bai sensed the beautiful researcher’s goodwill and returned a kind smile, but did not go along with her words.
“Wait a moment, can I discuss it with Little Peach?”
This was naturally no problem.
Ge Bai walked to the edge of the Testing Platform, squatted down to meet Little Peach at eye level, while Big Willow stood on Ge Bai’s shoulder, swaying its Willow Threads.
“Peach, peach.”
Seeing Ge Bai come over, Little Peach bounced to the edge of the Testing Platform and affectionately acted spoiled toward Ge Bai.
“Little Peach, can you condense a fruit that recovers Spiritual Power?”
“Sure, Little Peach is a peach tree.”
A milky voice transmission rang in Ge Bai’s heart.
Ge Bai was delighted; Little Peach was smarter than she had imagined.
“Then can Little Peach condense one fruit now?” she gently persuaded.
“No, Little Peach doesn’t like bearing fruit.”
Hearing this, Ge Bai had a few black lines flash behind her head. This child has quite a personality—not unworthy of being a seedling differentiated from Tao Yao Niang. As a fruit tree, its dislike for bearing fruit was inherited exactly the same.
Meanwhile, Big Willow on the side burst out laughing. “Bai Bai, Little Peach and Tao Yao Niang have the exact same tone when talking about fruit!”
Ge Bai rubbed her forehead, organized her words, and continued to persuade.
“Just condense a tiny one, okay? The fruit will be given to the researchers for detection, then returned to you.”
Little Peach shook its head, but it could see Ge Bai’s persistence.
“I don’t want the fruit. The fruit can go to Big Willow or Bai Bai, but not others.”
Hearing this, Ge Bai’s heart softened. So Little Peach cared about that.
“Then Little Peach is really great. Big Willow just consumed some Spiritual Power and hasn’t recovered yet. We have to ask Little Peach for help.”
Big Willow’s Spiritual Power consumption wasn’t particularly heavy, and it hadn’t drunk the nutrient solution provided by the Research Institute yet.
“After the researchers detect the fruit, it will be given to Big Willow to eat. They will detect it carefully.”
Satisfied with the promise, Little Peach nodded. Without transforming back to its Golden Powder Peach Demon Tree form, it directly closed its eyes tightly, surging with Spiritual Power.
A peach branch extended from under the leaves, and at the tip of the peach branch, a small white-pink peach condensed at a visible speed.
Little Peach actively severed the connection between the Spirit Recovery Peach and itself, and the peach branch instantly turned into light spots and disappeared.
Big Willow quickly extended its Willow Threads and caught the falling Spirit Recovery Peach.
Ge Bai patted Little Peach’s head, picked it up onto her shoulder next to Big Willow, then took the Spirit Recovery Peach from Big Willow’s Willow Threads, gave it a rough look, and handed it to the beautiful researcher with gold-rimmed glasses.
Little Peach watched the Spirit Recovery Peach being taken away, pouted unhappily, tilted its head against Big Willow’s trunk. Big Willow was very sensitive to Little Peach’s mood and extended a Willow Thread to poke Little Peach’s leaves, signaling it to stay calm.
The beautiful researcher carefully took the Spirit Recovery Peach and placed it in the detection instrument. This was her first time seeing such a small Spirit Recovery Peach, and she didn’t know how the fruit’s Spiritual Power content was.
At this moment, Ge Bai’s Spiritual Sense stirred, and she opened the Spirit Plant Cultivation Atlas.
[Skill: Spirit Recovery Peach – Beginner (5/100)]
Little Peach condensing one Spirit Recovery Peach increased the Skill Proficiency by 5 points? This was much faster than Big Willow piling it up bit by bit.
It seemed she still needed to coax Little Peach to work harder.
The Research Institute’s detection instrument soon produced results: it was a Beginner-level proficiency Spirit Recovery Peach. Though the fruit looked small, its Spiritual Power content was quite high for Beginner level.
Right after detection, the beautiful researcher handed the Spirit Recovery Peach back to Ge Bai. The detection result looked very normal, nothing particularly outstanding.
It was just that some information about this fruit didn’t quite match the original records in the database.
Ge Bai calmly took the fruit and, as agreed, handed it to Big Willow.
Big Willow seemed to have eaten fruit before. After its Willow Threads wrapped around the fruit and circulated Spiritual Power, the Spiritual Power contained in the fruit quickly transferred into Big Willow’s body through the Willow Threads, and then it too turned into light spots and disappeared.
Big Willow’s internal Spiritual Power clearly recovered a large amount, and even its Willow Threads gained a sheen.
Big Willow, Little Peach, and Ge Bai didn’t feel anything wrong, but the surrounding researchers, including Professor Luo Wan, all fell silent in unison.
“What’s wrong?” Ge Bai sensed the odd atmosphere around her and asked puzzledly.
The beautiful researcher swallowed, somewhat awkwardly stepping forward. “Um? The previous detection might not have been thorough enough. Could you communicate with your Pet Beast and condense another Spirit Recovery Peach?”
Hearing the researcher say this, Ge Bai’s puzzled expression deepened.
Professor Luo Wan had not paid much attention after seeing Little Peach’s initial detection data, but now shifted focus back here and spoke to clarify for Ge Bai.
“Generally, the fruits of Golden Powder Peach Demon Trees can only be consumed by Spirit Beasts. We’ve never seen a Spirit Plant fruit that also works on Spirit Plants. And…”
Pausing for a moment, Professor Luo Wan added.
“After Big Willow used the Spirit Recovery Peach, the Spiritual Power recovery was too rapid. Normally, when Spirit Beasts use a standard Spirit Recovery Peach, it recovers Spiritual Power Value slowly over a long period, with effects slightly worse than using nutrient solution.”
After hearing Professor Luo Wan’s explanation, Ge Bai instantly understood the difference between the two.
A normal Spirit Recovery Peach was just an everyday recovery supplement, with many alternatives, so the Spirit Recovery Peach from Golden Powder Peach Demon Trees wasn’t particularly famous.
Some Spirit Beasts might prefer peach-type fruits, giving Spirit Recovery Peach a certain market, but its market value wasn’t high.
Whereas the effect shown by Little Peach’s Spirit Recovery Peach was a completely different concept.
According to the System, this Spirit Recovery Peach could be used not only by Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts, but even by humans.
Plus, it almost instantly boosted Spiritual Power Value upon use—this wasn’t an everyday supplement; it was a trump card in battle.
Many battles prohibited using nutrient solutions or other recovery potions and equipment, but did not ban Pet Beast treatment and recovery skills. Little Peach’s Spirit Recovery Peach already qualified as a quick recovery skill.
Understanding the researchers’ intent, and wanting to use this chance for more detailed detection, Ge Bai had to coax Little Peach again.
“Little Peach, can you condense another fruit?”
“I saw Big Willow enjoying it so much just now, and I want to try it too.”
When coaxing Little Peach, Ge Bai threw away all face.
