Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Speculation about the Dragon King of the North Sea.

Huang Long shook his head and said, "None of them. I saw a total of twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, which are in the hands of a disciple of Master Tongtian."

The Dragon King of the North Sea exclaimed in surprise, "Twelve pearls? If we add the twelve pearls from our four seas, we'll have a total of twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls. If combined, they would be at least top-grade innate spiritual treasures."

Only then did the Dragon King of the North Sea notice the four corpses of Great Luo Golden Immortals that Huang Long was carrying. Although he felt a pang of heartache, he pretended to be generous and said, "Brother Huang Long, if you like them, these four Great Luo bodies are yours for the taking."

Huanglong glanced at the North Sea Dragon King, who had a forced smile, and scanned the four sea beast corpses. Finally, with a hint of disdain, he tossed the remains of the deep-sea giant serpent and the sea-splitting whale to the North Sea Dragon King, leaving only the two enormous bodies of the deep-sea giant crab and the deep-sea krill, each ten thousand feet long.

"These two are enough for me. The scales of these two Great Luo Golden Immortals are incredibly hard. If I add some materials, I can definitely forge two pieces of Acquired Spirit Treasure Armor."

Upon hearing Huang Long mention "refining acquired spiritual treasures".

The Dragon King of the North Sea's eyes lit up, and he said respectfully, "I have long heard that the Three Pure Ones are each skilled in different Daos—the Taiqing Saint is most skilled in refining pills, and a single Nine-Turn Golden Pill can give an ordinary being the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal; while the Yuqing Primordial Saint is most skilled in refining spiritual treasures; and the Shangqing Tongtian Saint is famous throughout the prehistoric world for his array formations and swordsmanship."

He paused, then said, "If these two corpses of Great Luo Golden Immortals were crafted by the Jade Purity Saint, the resulting spiritual treasures would likely possess power far exceeding that of some innate spiritual treasures."

Hearing the North Sea Dragon King's flattering words, Huanglong shook his head and said, "If it were that piece of innate cold soul, it would barely qualify me to ask you for help, so as not to be a waste."

"But if I still need to trouble my teacher with the remains of these two Great Luo Golden Immortals, how can I have the face to say that I am a disciple of Kunlun Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun?"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King of the North Sea exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that Brother Huanglong has also deeply inherited the true teachings of the Jade Purity Saint in the art of treasure refining?"

Huanglong was quite pleased with Ao Ming's amazement.

With a slight thought, a Five Elements Pagoda appeared in his hand, its surface shimmering with the spiritual light of the five elements, revealing its formidable power.

Then Huanglong said to the North Sea Dragon King, "This spiritual treasure was crafted by me. Unfortunately, I am dull-witted and have not been able to fully comprehend my teacher's great path of treasure crafting. I have only managed to craft a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure."

The Dragon King of the North Sea twitched at the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself, "What do you mean by 'just a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure'? Do you know how many Great Luo Golden Immortals in the prehistoric world don't even have a single acquired spiritual treasure, let alone an innate one?"

"Most Great Luo Golden Immortals can only continuously refine a certain part of themselves. Although their power can barely reach the level of a spiritual treasure, it is still far inferior to a true acquired spiritual treasure."

In response to Huang Long's modest boasting, the North Sea Dragon King offered a few words of flattery and then handed the three Sea-Stabilizing Pearls to Huang Long, saying, "These Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were bestowed upon the Four Seas by the Ancestral Dragon to stabilize the turmoil within them. Now that the Four Seas are suppressed by the Great Luo Dragons, these treasures are no longer needed. Consider them as a reward for your support of the North Sea Dragon Clan, Brother Huang Long."

Huanglong took the three Sea-Stabilizing Pearls and examined them carefully, discovering that they were quite extraordinary—each pearl only possessed a portion of the Sea-Stabilizing Power, and in other aspects, it was completely inferior to an ordinary low-grade innate spiritual treasure.

However, if several Sea-Stabilizing Pearls are combined together, their power will increase exponentially.

He tossed the three Sea-Stabilizing Pearls in his hand, then placed them back before the North Sea Dragon King, saying, "Senior Ao Ming, although I like these three Sea-Stabilizing Pearls very much, their value far exceeds the reward I deserve for coming to the North Sea. Therefore, please take them back!"

The Dragon King of the North Sea pushed Huanglong's hand back and said, "I'm glad you like it, brother. If you're worried that these three Sea-Stabilizing Pearls aren't commensurate with the reward for this service, I have a favor to ask."

Huang Long withdrew his hand from the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and replied, "Please speak, senior."

Ao Ming stared intently at Huang Long, a hint of reminiscence on his face: "Brother, I was fortunate enough to taste the Enlightenment Tea cultivated by the Azure Dragon Ancestor. The taste is truly unforgettable."

"Enlightenment Tea!"

Ao Ming nodded: "That's right! Moreover, its enlightenment effect is a treasure for the current dragon race to cultivate."

"Brother, I would like to ask you for some Enlightenment Tea from the Azure Dragon Ancestor so that the younger generation of the North Sea Dragon Palace may have the necessary cultivation materials."

This request was unexpected by Huang Long.

Fortunately, the Enlightenment Tea in his Xuanhuang Realm, after the world's rules were perfected and he had carefully cultivated it by consuming many treasures, had reached the superior grade of the Acquired Realm, which could fully meet the requirements of the North Sea Dragon King.

Huanglong's mind sank into the Xuanhuang Realm and began to pick tea leaves for enlightenment.

In the eyes of the North Sea Dragon King, however, it seemed that the Yellow Dragon was somewhat troubled. So the North Sea Dragon King said, "Brother Yellow Dragon, if you find it difficult, you can choose something else...!"

Before he could finish speaking, Huanglong handed him a jade box.

Under the questioning gaze of the North Sea Dragon King, Huanglong opened the jade box, and a rich, refreshing fragrance immediately filled the air.

The Dragon King of the North Sea caught a whiff of this delicate fragrance, and his eyes lit up:

"Enlightenment Tea!"

Looking into the jade box, one could see no fewer than a hundred tea leaves for enlightenment.

The Dragon King of the North Sea stammered, "Brother Yellow Dragon, you...you...you...you...!"

The fact that he suddenly produced over a hundred Enlightenment Tea Leaves was indeed far beyond the expectations of the North Sea Dragon King.

His original intention was simply to ask Qinglong for a small amount of Enlightenment Tea through Huanglong, a dragon clan member highly regarded by Qinglong, but he did not expect Huanglong to casually take out more than a hundred of them.

Although these Enlightenment Teas are not as valuable as innate spiritual treasures, they have a different meaning for the current dragon race. Innate spiritual treasures are mostly just for collection by the dragon race nowadays, but these Enlightenment Teas can truly help the Great Luo Dragons in the Sea Eyes maintain a clear primordial spirit and prevent them from going insane!

Very few of the Enlightenment Tea leaves can be distributed throughout the world.

Seeing that the Dragon King of the North Sea was hesitant to accept the tea, Huanglong assumed he felt there wasn't enough, so he said, "If you think it's not enough, senior, I have more!"

The Dragon King of the North Sea hurriedly accepted the jade box, saying excitedly, "Not too much! Not too much! This is more than enough! But I never expected that Brother Huanglong's importance in the heart of Ancestor Qinglong would far exceed my expectations!"

Huanglong, sensing the misunderstanding of the North Sea Dragon King, explained, "These Enlightenment Tea leaves were not bestowed by the Azure Dragon Ancestor."

"Not a gift from the Ancestor? How is that possible!"

"Yes, these were indeed not bestowed by the Ancestor!"

"However, I possess an Enlightenment Tea Tree, which was given to me by the Ancestor. These tea leaves are all cultivated by myself."

"To cultivate...myself!"

"Is that right? A little fellow who is not even three Huiyuan in age not only has the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, but can also refine a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure, and has such attainments in the cultivation of spiritual roots?"

Ao Ming accepted the jade box containing over a hundred Enlightenment Tea leaves with trembling hands!
