Primordial Era: I, Huanglong, have refined all the heavens, and will not join the Chan Sect.

Chapter 26 The Queen Mother of the West's Return Gift

Xi Kunlun.

One after another, magnificent buildings stretched out in a continuous expanse, their rich spiritual energy transforming into wisps of white mist that swirled between the houses, creating a scene reminiscent of a fairyland.

No, that's not right!

This must be called a fairyland.

This is the abode of the primordial goddess west Wangmu, a sacred place for countless female immortals throughout the primordial world.

this day.

A figure in cyan light streaked across the sky at incredible speed and flew into West Kunlun, transforming into a female immortal in cyan robes.

It only took more than ten years for Qingyu to fly back to Xikunlun from the West Sea.

Then she walked through the houses and entered a huge garden.

In the sky above this garden, milky-white stalactites hang upside down.

The rich spiritual energy was absorbed by these stalactites, turning into drops of pure divine water that fell down, accelerating the growth of the spiritual root.

Beneath these stalactites, numerous acquired and innate spiritual roots are planted, forming a ring that surrounds a lake.

A misty haze hung over the lake, and a graceful figure could be vaguely seen bathing in the water.

Seeing this, Qingyu slowly retreated, intending to come back in later.

But who is the Queen Mother of the West, and how could she not have noticed Qingyu's arrival?

The figure in the lake slowly turned around and walked towards the shore. The white mist around her body swirled, obscuring some of her vital parts.

Even so, her stunning figure could still be vaguely seen.

Who would have thought that such a heavy sin was hidden beneath the loose long dress that the Queen Mother of the West usually wore?

"Qingyu, why are you back? Did you run into some trouble?"

The Queen Mother of the West emerged from the lake, her bare feet stepping onto the grass. She sat down on a stone chair, gathered her long, black hair to one side, and conjured a towel to wipe away the lake water.

Her fair, jade-like skin, combined with the swirling mist that obscured her private parts, created a hazy, ethereal beauty.

Looking at the naked body, even though she was also a woman, Qingyu was somewhat mesmerized.

"Your Highness is far too careless. What if a male immortal were to intrude upon this place?"

Every time she saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel worried and thought that the defenses of Yaochi should be strengthened.

After a while, Qingyu came to her senses. She walked up to the Queen Mother of the West and took out a wooden box from her bosom.

"Your Majesty, I met a fellow Daoist named Huanglong in the Western Sea. He asked me to come to Xikunlun to deliver the items in the wooden box to Your Majesty, hoping to exchange them for a wisp of innate Yi Wood Qi."

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Huanglong is quite generous, actually making you come back all this way."

The Queen Mother of the West smiled slightly, showing no sign of blame. In any case, the matter of registering the golden book wouldn't make a difference in a little while.

She would rather see Qingyu gain her own opportunities along the way.

She then took the wooden box from Qingyu's hand, and with a gentle lift of her jade-like hand, opened the lid.

What came into view were twenty tea leaves, a bottle of special spiritual spring water, and a drop of green water.

"Enlightenment Tea? That Fellow Daoist Huanglong is quite thoughtful."

The Queen Mother of the West is a primordial deity with the cultivation level of a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, and her vision is naturally far superior to that of Qingyu.

She recognized the twenty tea leaves at a glance as the Enlightenment Tea.

Although it wasn't picked from the top-grade innate spiritual root—the Enlightenment Tea Tree—it's still precious enough.

If used properly, even a Great Immortal like the Queen Mother of the West can use it to improve her cultivation.

It is more than enough to exchange for a wisp of innate Yi wood energy.

Moreover, there are two other items inside this wooden box.

Then, the Queen Mother of the West turned her gaze to the bottle of spiritual spring water.

Even though Huanglong didn't leave any notes, the purpose of this bottle of spiritual spring water was quickly figured out by the Queen Mother of the West.

Using this spiritual spring water to brew Enlightenment Tea can help one enter a deeper level of enlightenment.

As for the last drop of green water, after understanding its purpose, the Queen Mother of the West couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on her calm face.

Functionally, this green drop of water, like the divine water dripping from stalactites in the air, can accelerate the growth of spiritual roots and allow them to bear fruit more quickly.

However, the effects of the divine water are far inferior to those of this green drop of water.

If you drop this green water onto any spiritual root, it will add at least 20,000 years to that spiritual root within a hundred years!

This effect is effective regardless of whether one possesses acquired or innate spiritual roots.

Even a top-grade innate spiritual root like the Ren Water Peach Tree can gain at least 20,000 years of life after this drop of green water is added to its body.

If handled properly, within this hundred-year period, with the Queen Mother of the West expending some more of her magical power, the Primordial Water Peach Tree may have a chance to blossom and bear fruit.

More importantly, the effect of this drop of water is to increase the years of spiritual root development, not to accelerate the result.

This is equivalent to the fact that after this drop of water is added, the innate Ren water peach tree can grow for the equivalent of 20,000 years in just 100 years!

Even the best innate spiritual root is not static. As the age of the innate Ren Water Peach Tree increases, it absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at a faster rate, and the time to bear fruit will be shortened accordingly.

Adding 20,000 years out of thin air undoubtedly shortens the fruiting time of the innate Ren water peach tree, which is a permanent improvement for the Queen Mother of the West.

"This Fellow Daoist Huanglong really didn't leave me any room to refuse!"

After understanding the effects of the Life Essence Liquid, a smile involuntarily appeared on the beautiful face of the Queen Mother of the West.

Twenty Enlightenment Tea Leaves, plus a bottle of Spirit Spring Water dissolved with Origin Liquid, are more than enough to trade for a wisp of Innate Wood Qi.

The value of this drop of life-giving elixir goes without saying.

Twenty Enlightenment Tea Leaves, a bottle of Spirit Spring Water, and a drop of Life Source Liquid are exchanged for a wisp of Innate Wood Qi. No one could refuse such a deal.

Some people even think that Huanglong's behavior is very foolish, and that it is a losing proposition.

However, the Queen Mother of the West did not think so. In her view, this precisely demonstrated Huanglong's intelligence.

Who is the Queen Mother of the West? She is a primordial deity with the cultivation of a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. She is the head of all female immortals in the primordial world. How could she possibly take advantage of Huanglong?

Even so, the Queen Mother of the West still held Huanglong in higher regard.

You should know that the Queen Mother of the West and Huanglong had never met before, but Huanglong dared not even show his face or say anything, and just handed such a precious thing to Qingyu, asking her to take it to Xikunlun and give it to him.

"Does this Fellow Daoist Huanglong not fear that I'm shameless enough to pretend I know nothing and accept these things without a second thought?"

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother of the West became even more curious about the Yellow Dragon.

Then she moved her jade-like fingers slightly and began to deduce the origin of the Yellow Dragon.

"what?"

Before long, the Queen Mother of the West let out a soft exclamation, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"The legacy of Pangu! I never expected that this Fellow Daoist Huanglong would have such an opportunity."

In fact, she didn't deduce much about Huanglong.

Huanglong possessed the Netherworld Umbrella and a wisp of Pangu's aura, which helped shield him from the secrets of heaven.

Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would find it difficult to deduce anything related to him unless he specifically tried to do so.

In addition, the Queen Mother of the West was originally just curious and wanted to know the general origin of the Yellow Dragon.

Therefore, after sensing that Huanglong possessed the aura of Pangu and was a true dragon who had received the legacy of Pangu, she stopped making further deductions.

After all, she and Huanglong had formed a good relationship through this transaction, and it would be impolite to continue down this path.

Moreover, through this simple deduction, she could basically conclude that the drop of life essence was what Huanglong obtained in the Pangu Relics.

Then, the Queen Mother of the West composed herself, flipped her right hand, took out a white jade box, and put several items inside.

"Qingyu, please take this box to Fellow Daoist Huanglong. I really like his gift. Tell him to come visit my Yaochi sometime."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will send it to Fellow Daoist Huanglong right away."

Qingyu stared blankly at the items in the white jade box for a long while before taking the box from the Queen Mother of the West and walking towards the entrance of Yaochi.

She never expected that the Queen Mother of the West would offer such a precious gift in return...
