156: Jade Qilin and the Peach Tree

Kyoto, State Banquet venue.

Bai Yang had expended a great deal of effort, finally clarifying the pan tao tree's importance to the various important figures, and also explaining his plan to the pan tao tree.

All the important figures present scratched their heads awkwardly.

This pan tao tree, which smelled so fragrant, wasn't meant for making soup after all...

Why did it feel a bit regretful?

After listening to Bai Yang, the Three Elders' expressions froze, finding it somewhat hard to believe for a moment.

Just by eating one pan tao, one could immediately gain the strength of the Jin Dan Initial Stage, and without any adverse side effects?

If it were just that, the Three Elders could still accept it.

After the Ling Qi Revival, it wouldn't be surprising for such an Advanced Spirit Medicine to exist, capable of allowing people to quickly Breakthrough to the Jin Dan Initial Stage.

After all, with Blue Star being so vast, it was quite normal to have a few such Spirit Medicines.

However, listening to the conversation between Bai Yang and the pan tao tree, as long as the Spiritual Qi supply was sufficient, the pan tao tree could produce three hundred and sixty-five pan taos a day!

These were pan taos that could allow people to Breakthrough to the Jin Dan Initial Stage on the spot, not some cheap candy!

If such pan taos could produce three hundred and sixty-five a year, the Three Elders would be thanking heavens.

Now, judging by what the two of them said, this thing could actually produce three hundred and sixty-five a day?

Golden Core Cultivators could be bought in bulk?!

Just as the Three Elders were doubting life.

The pan tao tree eyed Bai Yang skeptically, speaking with full of doubt:

“So, according to you, I don't need to produce pan taos day and night; I just need to contribute some branches?”

“Otherwise? Could I make you, a single pan tao tree, contribute one pan tao to each of the 1.4 billion Citizens of China?”

Bai Yang's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

What kind of thought process did this pan tao tree have?

By the time it produced 1.4 billion pan taos, the Chinese Citizens who hadn't died would probably have become Mixed World Devil Kings!

“Hehe, that's good!”

While letting out a long sigh of relief, the pan tao tree was still a bit uneasy and added:

“Bai Yang, let's agree in advance, how many pan taos do you think it's appropriate for me to produce each day?”

Bai Yang was stunned by the question, looking at the pan tao tree's cautious demeanor, and asked in confusion:

“Producing pan taos is your business. Produce as many as you like; why ask me?”

Bai Yang's true thoughts were indeed just that.

Did it matter how many pan taos were produced each day?

The real main event was always with the academician team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences!

Only when they overcame a certain technology related to the pan tao tree, whether it was cutting propagation or tissue culture, could large-scale cultivation of pan taos be achieved!

As for how many pan taos the pan tao tree wanted to produce?

Since it was already contributing branches to China, whether it produced pan taos daily or not depended on its mood!

After hearing Bai Yang's words.

The pan tao tree fell into a long silence.

Its branches trembled violently, and leaves continuously fell from the branches, the scattered leaves on the ground showing its inner turmoil.

He just... said what?

It could produce as many as it wanted?

No production targets, no military pressure, allowing itself complete freedom...

Such a country must be made strong!

The pan tao tree's trunk suddenly bent, startling all the important figures present, making them all stand up.

A tree can actually bend?!

It scared them to death!

“I, Pan Xiaotao, have decided! If China needs it, I am willing to produce pan taos unconditionally twenty-four hours a day, until I die of exhaustion...”

“Pan Xiaotao, don't say inauspicious things!”

Elder Wang rushed over in three steps, quickly helping the pan tao tree stand upright.

The sight of the tree bending over was truly frightening!

Moreover, China's fundamental national policy has always been to adhere to sustainable development.

Damaging the pan tao tree's Origin for short-term gains would be an unwise act of draining the pond to catch all the fish.

Unless absolutely necessary in an emergency, China would never adopt such measures!

“Having this intention is enough; your well-being is more important than anything else!”

“No, I want to produce them!”

“I'll produce three hundred and sixty-five pan taos a day, and in a month, I can produce over ten thousand pan taos, and China can have ten thousand more Golden Core Cultivators!”

Saying this, the pan tao tree began to absorb Spiritual Qi on the spot, regardless of anything else, and small, green fruits slowly emerged from its branches.

“You little tree, why don't you listen to advice! How about this, you produce a maximum of one hundred... eighty... fifty pan taos a day, we don't want more!”

Elder Wang quickly tried to persuade it from the side.

Three hundred and sixty-five pan taos a day, even if the pan tao tree dared to produce that many, China wouldn't dare to accept them!

He was still hoping that in a few thousand years, the pan tao tree would continue to produce pan taos for future generations!

If the pan tao tree was truly worked to death, it would be a huge loss for both sides!

This scene dumbfounded the Jade Qilin.

No?

Was this truly real?!

Was this pan tao tree, loudly proclaiming it would produce three hundred and sixty-five pan taos every day, the same one he knew!

He would grind his teeth on it every day, and Pan Xiaotao still wouldn't produce pan taos for him.

What was the situation now?

So, you were just putting on an act for me all this time?!

Looking at Elder Wang and the pan tao tree still in a stalemate, the Jade Qilin trotted over.

“Hehe, Elder Wang, if you only want fifty pan taos, then the rest are all mine, right?”

“Dream on, I'd rather feed them to a dog than to you!”

Facing the Jade Qilin's shameless remark, the pan tao tree appeared exceptionally indignant.

After exploiting it for so long, the Jade Qilin still had the nerve to ask it for pan taos?

No pan taos, and no life either!

After realizing its importance to China, the pan tao tree now felt confident and was no longer afraid of the Jade Qilin threatening it with teeth grinding.

“You're willing to give them to China, so why not to me? This is discrimination!”

“If I fed pan taos to a dog, the dog would wag its tail at me. If I fed pan taos to you, you'd grind your teeth on me. If I give you any more pan taos, I'll take your surname!”

“If I don't eat, I don't eat. I wasn't really that eager to eat them, and you're really putting on an act...”

The Jade Qilin mumbled as it ran back to the dining table, holding a chopstick in each paw, waiting for the dishes to be served.

Seeing the Jade Qilin's posture, Pan Xiaotao, who was internally brewing words, was instead at a loss.

Jade Qilin... what did it just say?

If I don't eat, I don't eat?

Was this still the Jade Qilin?!

Looking at the Jade Qilin sitting properly at the table, Pan Xiaotao was full of doubt.

It remembered one time in the Immortal Cave, when it absolutely refused to produce pan taos for the Jade Qilin, that fellow had ground its teeth on it for an entire day!

What was the situation with this fellow now, giving up so easily?

“Hey, what exactly are you up to? Our pan tao tree's pan taos are among the top ten delicacies on the Myriad Races Food Ranking; are you sure you don't want to eat them?”

“Top ten?”

The Jade Qilin snorted lightly, disdainfully saying:

“Pan Xiaotao, times have changed!”

“In front of dried small fish, dried large fish, Advanced cat food, Squirrel Fish, braised pork ribs, Peking Roast Duck... it's hard to say if your pan taos can even Rank in the top one hundred on the food ranking!”
