Chapter 90: The Powerful Magic Peach

After arranging everything at the castle, Zhao Hai and Merlin went to the Rocky Mountains. Although there was nothing happening there at the moment, because Green was there and they were waiting for Laura, Zhao Hai and the others would spend a lot of time at the Rocky Mountains in the near future.

Zhao Hai had another matter to attend to at the Rocky Mountains: he wanted to find out who was behind Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian's sudden attack on them had left no clues so far, and the existence of the person behind Zhao Qian was a significant threat to them. Therefore, Zhao Hai wanted to find out who that person was.

There was also the matter of the person behind Zhao Zui. It was now certain that the person behind Zhao Zui had considerable power. Because of this, Zhao Hai was even more eager to know who they were. If he couldn't find out, it would always be a threat to him, like a bomb that could explode at any time.

To investigate these matters, staying in the Black Earth Wasteland wouldn't work. Since there was now a teleportation point in the space, Zhao Hai could easily travel between the two places, just as conveniently as going from the front yard to the back yard of his own home. He could stay in either place.

Actually, if he really thought about it, Zhao Hai preferred staying in the space. From there, he could see what was happening at the Rocky Mountains and Iron Mountain Castle through the screens. The space villa also had hot springs, and he could hear conversations through the screens, so he didn't have to run back and forth.

However, Zhao Hai still took Meg and Merlin to the Rocky Mountains to check things out. After confirming that everything was fine, he brought the two back to the space villa.

Back at the villa, Zhao Hai took stock of what he had. First, he looked outside. Apart from the ten acres of oil trees that were growing, the remaining eight acres were planted with two acres of cucumbers, two acres of peas, two acres of pumpkins, and two acres of radishes. These were the last two acres of radish seeds he had, but since they were planted after the space upgrade, Zhao Hai had already let these radishes produce seeds. He wanted to see how many radish seeds one acre could produce. However, it was clear that the radishes for seed production matured much later than those for direct harvest. Twelve hours had already passed, but the seed radishes were not yet ready for harvest.

Zhao Hai glanced at the growing crops and didn't look at them for long. After all, whether he watched them or not, they would grow. He sat in the living room of the villa, where the screen showed the situation at the castle. He then opened his warehouse page to see what seeds he had left. To his surprise, he found quite a few seeds in his warehouse: some oil tree seeds, corn seeds, wheat seeds, bamboo seeds, red fruit seedlings, thorny vines, thorny grass seeds, and a bag of magic peach seeds...

Wait, magic peach seeds? What is this? How did I not know about this? Zhao Hai moved his hand, and a small bag appeared in his hand. As soon as he touched the bag, he heard the space's notification: "Magic Peach, a magical plant, level 10. The bag contains two seeds. Each seed can grow into a magic peach tree, which requires one acre of land. Each tree can produce one magic peach. The tree is a biennial crop. The flesh of the magic peach can heal wounds and instantly restore a mage's mana. The core of the magic peach can summon a pet, with no restrictions on type or level. To use the core, you must drip blood to recognize the master. Once recognized, it cannot be changed. The magic peach cannot be used to produce seeds and is a space-exclusive crop, which cannot be taken out of the space."

Zhao Hai listened to the notification in a daze. This was the plant with the most rules he had obtained, but it was also the one that surprised him the most.

The flesh can heal wounds and restore mana, but most importantly, the core can summon a pet. This is fantastic.

On the continent, apart from summoners, few people can have pets. Most people only have mounts, not pets.

A pet is a battle beast that shares a mental connection with its owner, which is much stronger than a mount. Some non-summoner strong people on the continent usually catch a newborn magical beast and raise it from a young age, using it as a pet when it grows up. However, these are not true pets, and the level of such pets is generally not high, so their combat power is limited.

Of course, there is a method for a non-summoner to have a battle pet: the blood pact. By using their own blood and life force to sign a contract with a magical beast, the beast can become their battle pet. However, the higher the level of the battle pet, the more life force you must pay, which makes many strong people hesitate. After all, no matter how good a battle pet is, life is more important.

Everyone wants a battle pet, but due to various restrictions, they cannot obtain one. However, the core of the magic peach can help people get a battle pet, just by dripping blood. If the people on the continent knew about this, they would go crazy.

Holding the bag of magic peach seeds, Zhao Hai couldn't help but laugh out loud. He was truly overjoyed. With these magic peach seeds, the combat power of Green and the others could be further enhanced. This thing is absolutely heaven-defying on the Ark Continent.

Merlin and Meg, who were also in the villa, were startled by Zhao Hai's laughter and came out. They didn't know what Zhao Hai was laughing about.

Merlin walked up to Zhao Hai and asked, puzzled, "Young Master, is there something to be happy about?"

Zhao Hai looked at Merlin and smiled, "Grandma Merlin, do you want a battle pet?"

Merlin was taken aback. As a strong person, she naturally understood the importance of a battle pet and nodded, "Of course, I think everyone on the continent wants a battle pet."

Zhao Hai shook the bag in his hand and smiled, "This bag contains two magic peach seeds, a special reward from the space. One seed can only be planted in one acre of land, and one seed will grow into one magic peach tree. One tree can only produce one magic peach. The flesh of the magic peach can heal wounds and instantly restore mana, but the most important thing is that the core of the magic peach can help you get a battle pet. Just drip a drop of blood on the core, and it will belong to you forever. You can use this core to get a battle pet that will always follow you."

Although Zhao Hai's words were a bit awkward, Merlin understood. Merlin and Meg looked at the bag in Zhao Hai's hand in disbelief. If Zhao Hai hadn't shown such amazing abilities recently, they wouldn't have believed him. This is too incredible. How can there be such a fruit?

Merlin asked uncertainly, "Young Master, are you sure? Is this fruit really that amazing?"

Zhao Hai smiled, "I don't know yet. The space said so, but we haven't planted the fruit yet. I plan to plant these two seeds in two acres of land after we harvest everything in the fields and see if it's really that amazing."

Merlin's face turned red with excitement, "It must be. The space has never lied. I'm sure it will be."

Zhao Hai smiled, "I hope so. If it really works, then you will all have your own battle pets in the future. Hahaha."

Merlin and Meg were also very happy. Having a battle pet has always been the dream of every strong person on the continent. Now there is hope, so they were naturally delighted.

Zhao Hai opened the bag and poured out the seeds. These seeds looked like ordinary peach pits, and after examining them several times, he didn't find anything special. He then put the two peach pits back into the bag and returned it to the warehouse with a wave of his hand.

Merlin and Meg's eyes were fixed on the bag in Zhao Hai's hand until it disappeared. Merlin turned to look at the radishes growing outside and thought, "I really hope to see what this magic peach looks like soon."

Zhao Hai smiled, "Don't worry. Once we harvest everything in the fields, I'll plant these two magic peaches. Then we'll see."

Merlin frowned, "Young Master, the flesh of the magic peach can heal wounds and instantly restore mana, which is very valuable. For our mages, instantly restoring mana during battle is crucial. Currently, there are many potions on the continent, but the best can only restore about 80% of mana. If we just eat the flesh, wouldn't it be a waste?"

Zhao Hai smiled, "No problem. We can take the flesh and store it in the warehouse. We can take it out when we need it."

Merlin was taken aback and then smiled bitterly, "I'm getting old. I only thought about eating the flesh and didn't think about taking it out. But, Young Master, if we take the core out, will the flesh lose its effect? That would be a significant loss."

Zhao Hai frowned, "That's a problem. We don't know yet. We'll see after we plant the magic peach."

Merlin nodded and looked at the plants outside, "Young Master, this is the sixth season for the oil trees, right? When the oil trees are ready this time, do you plan to plant more oil trees?"

Zhao Hai thought for a moment, "I plan to plant a few seasons of radishes first. We have too few radishes in the space. If we really trade with Laura, we need more radishes. I plan to store two seasons of radishes."

Merlin nodded, "That's a good idea. When we cooperate with Laura, we can ask what crops they need, and then we can plant those crops. That way, we won't have to worry about finding buyers."

Zhao Hai nodded. He also thought it was a good idea. After all, if the things they planted couldn't be turned into money, it would be a loss.
