Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Huang Long's face revealed a hint of struggle and reluctance at the opportune moment. He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and stared directly at Di Jun's clone:

"Since Your Majesty has spoken, if Huang Long insists, it would seem that he is ungrateful."

Di Jun's clone's gaze flickered slightly, and Fu Xi and Kun Peng also looked at him, waiting for what would happen next.

"but!"

Looking down at the earth that was recovering its vitality, Huang Long changed the subject, "Your Majesty should know that the purifying power contained in the Pure World White Lotus is very effective in removing the effects of demonic energy. However, I have lost a spiritual root that could remove the blood and filth left by the battle between the witch and demon races, which has greatly affected my ability to continue to repair the world."

Huang Long looked at Di Jun's calm and expressionless face and began to reveal a hint of danger!

"So, we need to pay more!"

Although they didn't know what money Huanglong was talking about, when Huanglong uttered that word, Dijun, Fuxi, and Kunpeng all understood the true meaning it contained!

The three of them, Di Jun and Di Jun, looked at Huang Long with some ill intent. They all clearly thought that Huang Long was greedy and wanted to add more than three innate spiritual roots!

Di Jun's illusory clone gradually emitted a terrifying pressure, expressing his dissatisfaction with Huang Long's price increase!

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Huang Long immediately said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I didn't add an innate spiritual root!"

"continue."

Di Jun's clone spoke succinctly.

"I want a portion of the Sun's Essence, a portion of the Sun's Essence at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal!"

Huang Long spoke clearly, word by word, "I believe this item is not difficult for Your Majesty. If Your Majesty does not agree to this condition...!"

Huang Long paused, his voice equally resolute, "Even if the Heavenly Court offers those three spiritual roots, they cannot take this Pure World White Lotus with them!!"

"The origin of the sun?"

Before Di Jun could speak, Kunpeng beside him gasped, his face turning extremely grim, "Yellow Dragon! Do you know how precious the essence of the sun is... especially when it's at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal!"

Fuxi also looked solemn as he gazed at Dijun.

On Di Jun's face, which was formed from golden light, there was no discernible emotion, only the constant flickering of the true solar fire around him, as if golden crows were dancing around him.

After a long silence, Di Jun's clone finally spoke again, his voice still steady, but the more intense flames dancing around him revealed that he was not entirely unmoved:

"Can!"

After that one word, the oppressive atmosphere suddenly dissipated!

Huang Long felt a great weight lifted from his heart and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He bowed slightly to Di Jun and said with a smile, "Then, thank you very much for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Ignoring Huanglong, Dijun's clone turned to Kunpeng and said, "Demon Master, return to the Heavenly Court immediately and bring back the three spiritual roots and the source of the sun." After saying that, the clone turned into specks of golden flame and disappeared into the air.

The deal is done!

Kunpeng gave Huanglong a deep look, then his figure flickered and transformed into a streak of dark blue light, soaring into the sky and disappearing instantly. He truly lived up to his reputation as a powerful being in the prehistoric world, renowned for his speed.

After Kunpeng departed, only Huanglong and Fuxi remained in the void.

Huang Long smiled, as if the dangerous transaction had never happened.

With a wave of his hand, the white clouds beneath his feet solidified, and a table made of spiritual energy rose from the clouds, with two white cloud cushions on his left and right.

He took out a set of antique tea utensils and a jade box, which contained the Enlightenment Tea that he had previously offered to Fuxi and Kunpeng.

"Senior Fuxi, please have a seat. The Demon Master will need some time to travel to and from the Heavenly Court. Although this Enlightenment Tea of ​​mine is not at the Innate level, it is still quite good!"

Huang Long skillfully boiled water and brewed tea, his movements fluid and graceful, clearly demonstrating his proficiency.

A moment later, a clear and lingering aroma of tea wafted through the air, refreshing and invigorating, echoing the scene of the battlefield that was regaining its vitality.

Looking at Huanglong's calm demeanor, Fuxi's eyes flashed with surprise and admiration. He praised, "Young friend, you have quite the spirit and the composure. You've taken such a huge advantage from the Heavenly Court, yet you can still leisurely brew tea!"

Huang Long raised his cup slightly in a toast and said with a smile, "Senior, you flatter me. The workings of heaven and earth have their own logic; everyone gets what they need, and it's a fair trade. Now that the matter is settled, let's celebrate with some tea."

"Senior! Please."

Fuxi took a sip of tea and said, "Excellent tea!"

He put down his teacup, his deep gaze fixed on Huanglong. "Young friend, have you been eyeing the origin of the sun for some time now?"

Huanglong smiled without saying a word, but simply refilled Fuxi's teacup.

Seeing this, Fuxi did not press further, but instead sighed, "Young friend, you exchanged a single... well, Pure World White Lotus for three innate spiritual roots, plus a ball of solar essence. I admire your courage and methods."

His words carried a subtle hint, as if he had vaguely guessed something.

Huang Long blinked, a genuine smile spreading across his face: "Senior is too kind. This transaction was mutually agreeable, fair and just."

"Since the Heavenly Emperor is so wise and powerful, and is willing to make the exchange, he must believe that the Pure White Lotus is worth the price. This junior is merely complying with His Majesty's wishes."

The two exchanged a smile, said nothing more, and simply sipped their tea and waited.

The two were not kept waiting for long. Before they had even finished drinking a cup of tea, the aura of the Kunpeng rushed straight towards them from the heavens.

His expression was still not good, especially when he saw Huanglong and Fuxi sitting opposite each other, enjoying tea and looking very relaxed. His eyes twitched slightly.

Kunpeng glared at Fuxi, who was sipping tea, but said nothing, and waved his sleeve.

In an instant, several streams of rich innate vitality and a blazing Dao aura erupted.

Three spiritual roots of different shapes and dazzling spiritual light, along with a golden fireball sealed by layers of golden runes but still radiating terrifying light and heat, appeared out of thin air in mid-air beside Huanglong.

Three innate spiritual roots!

Huang Long's gaze was instantly drawn to one of the plants.

The entire spiritual root was tens of feet tall, its branches and leaves moving without wind, swaying gently as if distorting the surrounding light.

Through the distorted light, one can vaguely see the cycle of spring and autumn alternating within it.

An ancient, weathered, and infinitely mysterious Daoist aura permeated the area for miles around, causing even Huanglong's soul to tremble.
