Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Jade Pillar Mountain is located south of the Kunlun Mountains. It is bathed in a warm light all year round. The mountain peaks stand like huge white jade pillars on the ground, with natural cloud patterns imprinted on them, emitting a faint rainbow of colors.

When Huanglong flew over on the clouds, the largest white jade platform in the center of the mountain was already shimmering with divine light.

The Antarctic Immortal, dressed in an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, held a dragon-carved staff in one hand and twirled his snow-white beard in the other. His chubby face beamed as he chatted with the guests by the platform. Beside him stood a young boy in white feathered robes, none other than the White Crane Boy under Yuqing's command, who was curiously watching the newcomers.

Huanglong descended from the clouds and landed on the platform. He cupped his hands towards Nanji and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Nanji. I am late, please forgive me." He glanced at the platform and saw that several figures had already taken their seats.

Antarctica led the Yellow Dragon to the group and introduced it to them.

"You've met Guang Chengzi before you became his disciple, so I won't introduce him again."

"This is Master Tongtian's eldest disciple, Duobao." The Antarctic Immortal led Huanglong to a rather robust Taoist in golden robes. The Taoist had a smiling face and looked very fortunate.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Duobao," Huanglong said, bowing to Duobao.

Duobao returned the greeting to Huanglong and said, "Greetings, Junior Brother Huanglong. I heard that Senior Uncle Yuqing has taken on a new disciple, but I haven't seen him until now. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed extraordinary."

"Senior brother, you flatter me."

After Antarctica introduced Jin Ling, Xuan Du, and the others to each other, everyone took their seats.

The Antarctic Immortal spoke, "Fellow junior brothers and sisters, the first purpose of gathering you all here is to discuss your respective cultivation paths. I am the one with the highest cultivation, so I will start by giving you a heads-up."

The old man of the South Pole suddenly became gentle and long, exuding a strong vitality: "Heaven and earth have a lifespan, but the Great Dao is endless. My Dao is in 'life'! Follow the timing of heaven, nourish the life force, prolong life, and experience the endless cycle of creation." He spoke of prolonging life and understanding the growth of nature.

Next, Guang Chengzi, Duobao, Jinling, Huanglong, and Xuandu each demonstrated their cultivation paths.

During the sermon, people sometimes listened attentively, sometimes clapped and cheered, sometimes frowned in thought, and sometimes suddenly understood. Even the standing white crane boy seemed to take flight upon hearing it. The cloud patterns on the pillars were also moved by the Daoist rhythm, and the trajectory of the light became even more mysterious, as if echoing this rare discourse.

As the preaching gradually subsided, the Taoist aura permeating Jade Pillar Peak slowly dissipated.

At this point, the Old Man of the South Pole announced that the first item of the gathering, the discussion on Taoism, had been successfully completed, and that the second item, which was also the most important, would begin.

The Old Man of the South Pole walked to the center, brandished his dragon-carved staff, and said in a clear voice, "Fellow junior brothers and sisters, please look."

After he finished speaking, the White Crane Boy, carrying a foot-long jade tray in both hands, slowly walked to the front of the crowd. The tray was covered with a thin veil.

All eyes were fixed on the tray. A faint sound of wind and thunder reached everyone's ears, and a unique, refreshing fragrance wafted from the jade plate.

Looking at the expectant gazes of the crowd, the Antarctic Immortal smiled slightly, extended his five fingers, and gently lifted the thin veil.

brush!

A blinding flash of electricity exploded from the tray!

In the center of the tray lay several strange fruits. The fruits were heart-shaped, plump, and their blue and purple colors intertwined to form two natural patterns.

"Wind and Thunder Immortal Apricot!" Guang Chengzi exclaimed first, his face filled with shock as he stared intently at the fruit.

Duobao gasped, his smile freezing, replaced by a mixture of solemnity and longing: "An innate spiritual root! One of the ten great spiritual roots! Containing the origin of the Great Dao of Wind and Thunder... Brother Antarctic, this Master Uncle Yuanshi...!"

Nanji nodded and said, "Our master knows that we disciples are discussing our knowledge with each other, so he instructed me to pick this immortal apricot and bestow it upon you all."

Huang Long was also staring intently at the Immortal Apricot, sensing the surging power of the wind and thunder laws within it, and his heart stirred. This thing was indeed too precious, a treasure even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would covet.

Seeing everyone's reaction, the Antarctic Immortal said nothing more. With a flick of his dragon-patterned staff, one immortal apricot after another flew to the people in front of him.

"This celestial apricot was bestowed by our master. He hopes everyone will continue on their journey, never ceasing their pursuit of the Great Dao." The voice of the Antarctic Immortal echoed the aura of the celestial apricot. "Please accept it, and diligently cultivate yourselves, so as not to tarnish the name of the Three Pure Ones!"

Everyone bowed in the direction of Taiqing Peak before putting the immortal apricots into their bosoms, intending to return to their respective dojos to cultivate and refine them in seclusion.

Huang Long thought for a moment and then said, "It is rare for all of you senior brothers and sisters to gather here today. I have been a disciple of Kunlun for over a hundred years and have never visited you. Today, I would like to take this opportunity, thanks to Senior Brother Antarctica, to apologize to you all. This is some spiritual tea bestowed upon me by my elders in the Dragon Clan. It tastes quite good. I would like to invite you all to give your opinions today."

As Huang Long spoke, he took out several teacups, put a tea leaf of enlightenment into each teacup, and then drew a stream of spiritual spring water from the depths of Jade Pillar Mountain. After boiling it, he poured it into the teacups, and immediately a rich aroma of tea spread out along with the Daoist rhyme.

Huang Long waved his hand, and the teacup slowly floated to Duobao and the others. Huang Long picked up the teacup and said to everyone, "Fellow senior brothers, Senior Sister Jinling, please!"

Xuandu was the first to take the teacup in his hand and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Huanglong. I really like your Enlightenment Tea." After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, put the teacup down, and closed his eyes to cultivate.

"Enlightenment Tea!"

The people from Antarctica and the others were taken aback at first, then they took the teacups and drank the tea. Some began to comprehend the Great Dao, some deduced formations, and some practiced supernatural abilities...!

For a time, various strange phenomena illuminated the void above Jade Peak, making it even more magnificent than the Daoist discussion held earlier today.

All the Golden Immortals, along with the Taiyi from the South Pole, reaped considerable rewards. When the last strange phenomenon dissipated, they clasped their hands in thanks to the Yellow Dragon.

Duobao stared straight at Huanglong and said, "Junior Brother Huanglong, how much Enlightenment Tea do you have left? If you have any left over, could you give me some? Don't worry, your senior brother will definitely give you something to satisfy you in exchange."

The others looked at Huang Long with interest and nodded.

Under the watchful eyes of Duobao and the others, Huanglong took out three jade boxes and three jade gourds.

Huang Long opened a jade box and a jade pot, and a refreshing aroma of tea and a strong aroma of wine instantly filled Jade Pillar Peak.

It was the combination of Wudao tea leaves and red jujubes with many innate spiritual herbs that brewed the Blood Jujube Wine. Huanglong gave a brief introduction to the effects of the Blood Jujube Wine.

The wine brewed from the spiritual root fruit instantly attracted the attention of Duobao and the other Golden Immortals.

Duobao's eyes lit up, and he immediately set his sights on the Enlightenment Tea and Blood Jujube Wine on Huanglong's table. A stone emitting a faint yellow light appeared in his hand. "Junior brother, your wine is so potent, it makes your blood and qi surge just by smelling it. It's a good thing, I like it! I'll trade you this 'Mysterious Yellow Stone'! This Mysterious Yellow Stone can be refined into several strands of innate Mysterious Yellow Qi, which can help Golden Immortals temper their immortal golden bodies!"

As expected of Duobao, he makes a grand gesture.
