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

Chapter 98 Trading Yellow Plums, the Hundred Fruits Fairy Gathering Begins

Within the reception area of ​​the Great Golden Immortal.

The Queen Mother of the West led the Yellow Dragon to a secluded corner.

Although she and Huanglong didn't have much interaction, based on Huanglong's performance at the last Celestial Court banquet...

In addition to the information that Qingyu had sent back, she had gained some understanding of Huanglong's personality.

She was fairly certain that Huang Long was a person who disliked showing off, acted cautiously, and planned things carefully before taking action.

Because she is that kind of person, she has a good impression of Huanglong.

"It's really not easy to see you. I am, after all, the nominal head of the Primordial Female Immortals. You're not giving me any face at all."

With a gentle wave of her jade hand, the Queen Mother of the West created a transparent protective barrier to prevent outside observation, and then chuckled and teased.

Huanglong naturally understood that there was no dissatisfaction in west Wangmu's words. He cupped his hands in greeting, shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's quite a coincidence that I always missed Qingyu, which is why I didn't learn of Your Highness's invitation in time. Otherwise, I would have rushed to Xikunlun to visit Your Highness immediately."

"That's easy for you to say. With your personality, would you dare come to my Xikunlun without being fully prepared?"

The Queen Mother of the West rolled her eyes, revealing a look of disbelief.

This scene left Huanglong stunned for a moment. He had seen the Queen Mother of the West from afar the last time he came to the Celestial Court.

Back then, the Queen Mother of the West had a majestic appearance, like a fairy untouched by the mortal world. But now, with a single glance from her, she exudes a more earthly aura, making her even more beautiful and captivating.

Damn it! How can my Dao heart be so unstable!

Don't you know that women are all a menace? How could I be so distracted by just one expression from the Queen Mother of the West?

If you get distracted during a battle, wouldn't someone seize the initiative?!

Huanglong cursed himself inwardly and silently recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra to calm his mind.

And he made up his mind to hone his skills and never let such a thing happen again.

Huanglong's momentary daze was extremely brief, and the Queen Mother of the West did not notice anything unusual.

After chatting for a while, the Queen Mother of the West asked with a hint of anticipation:

"Do you have any left of that drop of life essence you gave me last time?"

That drop of life essence allowed the Queen Mother of the West to harvest two additional batches of Primordial Water Peaches, and also increased the age of the Primordial Water Peaches by more than 100,000 years.

Although innate spiritual roots lack intelligence, they can still grow.

As the years go by, the time required for the innate Ren water peach to mature is correspondingly shortened.

If one or two more drops of the Life Essence Liquid were available, along with some of the Queen Mother of the West's own methods, perhaps the time required for the Primordial Water Peaches to ripen could be shortened to less than 60,000 years.

"Your Majesty is well aware of the value of the Life Essence Liquid; I haven't even obtained a few drops myself."

For Huang Long, the production of the Life Source Liquid was not too difficult, but it was extremely valuable, so he naturally could not give it away easily.

However, Huang Long's words made it clear that he still had some remaining life essence.

The Queen Mother of the West naturally understood this meaning, and a look of joy immediately appeared on her face.

"If Fellow Daoist Huanglong has any extra Life Source Liquid, I am willing to use it to trade with you."

With a flick of her jade hand, the Queen Mother of the West took out a plum imbued with Daoist charm and offered it to Huanglong.

"This is a top-grade innate spiritual fruit, the Yellow Plum. In terms of efficacy, it is in no way inferior to the innate Ren Water Peach. Moreover, this is one of the first Yellow Plums to ripen, living as long as heaven and earth. Its benefits after consumption are boundless!"

"If you can produce five drops of Life Source Liquid, you may take it away."

Huanglong took the yellow plum from the Queen Mother of the West's hand, feeling the rich Daoist essence within it, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

"If I consume it, my cultivation will not only be able to break through the barrier of the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, but I will even be able to take a big step towards the perfection of the Great Luo Golden Immortal."

Although only three innate spiritual roots need to be refined and fused to obtain a drop of life essence.

During his years of seclusion, Huanglong refined many useless spiritual roots and obtained a considerable amount of life essence.

However, this is, after all, a transaction. If he were to agree to the Queen Mother of the West's proposal outright, he would be sending two signals to her.

Firstly, I have plenty of this stuff on hand, so taking out five drops is a very easy thing.

Secondly, this thing is far less valuable than Huang Zhongli.

After a moment of silence, Huang Long shook his head slightly, expressionless.

"I only have five drops of Life Essence left, and I can only offer three drops to Your Majesty in a trade."

"Three drops...okay, three drops it is!"

After pondering for a moment, the Queen Mother of the West readily agreed without any intention of bargaining.

With a single drop of life essence in her hands, combined with other materials, it would take her about five thousand years to allow the innate Ren water peach to ripen twice.

Then, these three drops of life essence will allow her to harvest fifty-four innate Ren water peaches after fifteen thousand years.

Whether kept for personal consumption, used to entertain other powerful beings in the prehistoric world, or used to cultivate outstanding female immortals in Xikunlun, these fifty-four innate Ren water peaches can bring enormous benefits.

In the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West, trading three drops of the Life Essence Liquid for this first batch of Yellow Plum was a very worthwhile deal.

More importantly, she could tell from Huanglong's words that perhaps the life essence Huanglong obtained from Pangu's legacy was not a one-time product, but a rare and precious material that could be obtained over a long period of time.

If we can build a good relationship with them, there might be a possibility of future transactions.

If more than ten drops of life essence could be used on the innate Ren water peach tree, the time required for it to bear fruit could very likely be reduced to about 40,000 years.

Furthermore, as the years go by, the innate Ren water peaches that are formed will become even more potent!

Seeing that the Queen Mother of the West had agreed, Huanglong also showed a faint smile.

He then put away the yellow plum in his hand, took out three drops of the life essence, and placed them in front of the Queen Mother of the West.

With the business concluded, it was inappropriate for the Queen Mother of the West, as the head of the female immortals in the Celestial Court and the host of this Hundred Fruits Fairy Gathering, to stay any longer. After chatting for a while, she took her leave.

Huang Long quietly moved to another equally secluded corner, activated the power of the Taiyin Cold Moon Diagram, reduced his own presence, and silently observed the powerful figures in the venue.

Now that Huanglong has the cultivation of a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, and is using the Taiyin Cold Moon Diagram, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak of cultivation would find it difficult to detect his presence without careful observation.

As time went by, renowned powerful beings from the prehistoric world, such as Daoist Styx, Zhen Yuanzi, Chang Xi, Xi He, and the Three Pure Ones, came to the Celestial Court one after another and sat in the front seats.

Among these many powerful beings, only the Three Pure Ones, Changxi, and Xihe noticed Huanglong's presence and curiously glanced at him.

Shortly after the arrival of the Three Pure Ones, the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother came to the high platform together and announced the start of the Hundred Fruits Immortal Gathering.
