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

Chapter 31 The Innate Ren Water Peaches! Is the Queen Mother of the West really that generous?

"what?"

"Gift?"

Huanglong was stunned for a moment after hearing Qingyu's words.

Where did this "gift" excuse come from? Didn't I ask Qingyu to go to Xikunlun for me to complete the transaction of the innate Yi wood energy with the Queen Mother of the West?

Although the items in that wooden box were somewhat valuable.

However, the counterparty in this transaction was the Queen Mother of the West, a primordial deity with the cultivation level of a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, and the head of all female immortals in the primordial world.

According to the time traveler's memories, the prices for transactions with people of this status are usually inflated.

What kind of status does the Queen Mother of the West have that she can trade with you? That's already quite good. What's wrong with taking a little more money?

It was based on this consideration that Huang Long took out twenty Enlightenment Tea Leaves, a bottle of diluted Spirit Spring Water, and a drop of Life Source Liquid as materials for trading the Innate Wood Qi.

But these were all materials for the transaction. How did the Queen Mother of the West interpret them as gifts? What happened during this process? Huanglong couldn't figure it out at all.

Sure enough, I can't fathom a woman's mind; the time traveler was right!

After sighing to himself, Huang Long put away the white jade box on the table, not in a hurry to check what was inside.

Could someone of the Queen Mother of the West's status possibly steal a wisp of my innate Yi Wood Qi?

At the same time, Huanglong took out nine Enlightenment Tea leaves and a bottle of spiritual spring water and pushed them in front of Qingyu.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyu, as per our agreement, these Enlightenment Tea Leaves and Spiritual Spring Water are yours."

"No, fellow Daoist, you saved my life, I cannot accept this..."

In Qingyu's opinion, if Huanglong hadn't saved her, she would have already died and disappeared. How could she have the nerve to accept these things?

However, before she could finish speaking, Huang Long interrupted her with a serious expression.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyu's misfortune is also related to me. If you hadn't gone to Xikunlun on my behalf, how would I have encountered the Ao brothers?"

"Therefore, fellow Daoist, please do not mention the life-saving grace again. I only did what I should do."

"As for these Enlightenment Tea leaves and Spirit Spring Water, fellow Daoist, please don't refuse them. This was originally agreed upon between us. If you don't accept them, wouldn't I be breaking my promise?"

With a serious expression, Huang Long placed the Enlightenment Tea and Spirit Spring Water into Qingyu's hands.

Just kidding. If you don't accept it, then I'll be in debt for this cause and effect.

Once a cause and effect are established, there will be frequent contact in the future. Can I make this happen?

Woman, don't even think about ruining my principles!

"...Since Fellow Daoist Huanglong puts it that way, then I won't stand on ceremony with you."

After a moment of silence, Qingyu finally put away the Enlightenment Tea and Spirit Spring Water in her hand.

Even a powerful being like the Queen Mother of the West could benefit from the Enlightenment Tea.

It is easy to imagine how precious such a natural gift is.

If it were someone else, upon hearing that they could save nine Enlightenment Tea leaves, they would probably just put on a show and then take them back without much thought.

Unlike Huang Long, who seemed afraid Qingyu wouldn't want it, he simply shoved it into her hands, giving her no chance to refuse.

Huang Long's tough attitude greatly shocked Qing Yu, and her gaze towards Huang Long became even more complicated.

No no no!

If this continues, I'm afraid my Dao heart will be conquered by Fellow Daoist Huanglong!

The thought of such an outcome made Qingyu feel extremely confused.

"Fellow Daoist Huanglong, I still have a mission to complete. My injuries are no longer serious, so I won't stay here any longer."

After saying that, Qingyu turned and walked out of the pavilion.

Seeing this, Huang Long breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally gotten rid of the woman.

However, just as Qingyu stepped out of the pavilion, she paused slightly and turned back.

"Oh right, Her Majesty said that if you have time, you can come and visit Xikunlun."

"Thank you for your kind invitation, Queen Mother of the West. I will certainly make time to visit Xikunlun!"

Huang Long smiled and nodded. Being invited by the Queen Mother of the West meant that she was very satisfied with this transaction.

If Huanglong obtains the Great Luo Fruit in the future, he may be able to become an ally of the Queen Mother of the West through this.

However, those are things for the future. Right now, the most urgent task is to improve my cultivation level.

But the thought that the Queen Mother of the West had inexplicably interpreted this transaction as a gift made him hesitant to go to Xikunlun...

"Well... I'll be going now. I'll come back to repay your kindness after I've completed Her Majesty's task."

There's absolutely no need for that!!!

Huang Long's expression changed slightly, and he almost blurted out those words.

Fortunately, he was rational enough not to say anything that would offend people. However, the thought of the trouble that might come with more contact with Qingyu gave Huanglong a headache.

According to the time traveler's memories, women are a very troublesome thing.

or……

I'm thinking of a way to move Yunmeng Immortal Island away.

No, no, this would be blatantly telling Fellow Daoist Qingyu that I'm avoiding her...

Oh well, let's just take it one step at a time. As long as I stay true to my Daoist principles, I won't let women interfere with my cultivation!

Huang Long quickly adjusted his expression and smiled slightly:

"Business is important, fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. As for the matter of repaying the debt of gratitude, do not mention it again in the future. I have already said that this matter is also related to me. I was just doing what I should do."

"...Alright, I'll come visit you again when I'm done with my work!"

Qingyu nodded heavily, then turned and left Yunyin Taoist Temple, transforming into her true form as a blue phoenix and flying out of Yunmeng Immortal Island.

She secretly decided that when she came back next time, she would definitely go back to the Undying Volcano first and bring back some of the Undying Volcano's specialty fire-attribute spiritual items.

Fellow Daoist Huanglong lives in the Western Sea and is a member of the True Dragon Clan. Obtaining fire-attribute spiritual items must be quite difficult for him. If I were to give him such a gift, he would surely appreciate it.

Oh no, it's about repaying a debt of gratitude! It's not a gift!

Qingyu took one last look at the yellow dragon in the Yunyin Taoist Temple, and then flew away into the distance.

"call--!"

"Finally, Fellow Daoist Qingyu has left. Hopefully, things will improve soon."

Watching Qingyu's departing figure, Huanglong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly adjusted the mirage illusion surrounding Yunmeng Immortal Island, completely concealing the island within the Western Sea.

Then, he sat down on the stool and opened the white jade box belonging to the Queen Mother of the West.

"Hiss—! This is…"

"Peaches from the Heavenly Realm?! Is the Queen Mother of the West really that generous?!"

The treasure box contained many items. Huanglong wanted two portions of the innate Yi wood energy, as well as innate Geng metal energy, innate Gui water energy, innate Bing fire energy, and innate Wu earth energy.

Adding the ones Huanglong possessed himself, it was equivalent to having two portions of innate Five Elements Qi.

However, the most eye-catching item was a peach the size of a baby's head.

Even though Huanglong had never seen this peach before, he could tell at a glance from the Daoist aura it exuded that it was a peach from the top-grade innate spiritual root, the Ren Water Peach Tree.

Looking across the entire prehistoric world, the peaches of immortality are among the best spiritual fruits!
