Just Peachy!

Taira stared down at the rosy pink colored fruit on his plate.

This was apparently the crown jewel of the event- the Jade Essence peaches.

They are grown somewhere secret on the island. Apparently, the qi there is rich enough that it soaks into the very flesh of the fruit and aids in the act of cultivation and mental stimulation.

It was an absolute one of a kind delicacy that was the pride of the Gentle Brotherhood. 

The cult members seemed to be enjoying the taste well enough. More than half had already broken through to the next realm, or were nearing it. 

But there was one person whom the fox spirit was observing particularly closely…

Even though he never turned his face from what was in front of him, Taira was incredibly aware of Shakti, who sat with Vaal just in the row behind him.
