Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Acquired spiritual roots are completely different from innate spiritual roots. They are rare treasures that can only be evolved under the nourishment of massive spiritual energy and Daoist principles, and with special opportunities.

They are born in "blessed lands" and can only survive in the same environment.

Once they leave this blessed land with its abundant spiritual energy and radiant Taoist charm, they will be like fish out of water, quickly losing their spirituality, deteriorating in quality, and even returning to ordinary wood.

Many of the acquired spiritual roots in Huanglong Cave Heaven were obtained through the trading of the Wu tribe. The Wu tribe occupied a vast prehistoric land, and apart from a few people who concealed their innate spiritual roots, a large portion of the acquired spiritual roots born on the land were taken into their possession.

However, these witches were not good at cultivating, and after obtaining them, they swallowed them whole, turning them into wisps of blood energy.

You can only say that Huanglong's Blood Jujube Wine has a significant effect on the Wu Clan, which is why they left behind their acquired spiritual roots to trade with Huanglong.

Another part is that, after a long period of nourishment by the rich innate spiritual energy and magnificent Daoist charm of Kunlun Mountain, and with the ample vitality provided by his supernatural-level Sweet Rain Technique, only a few of the spiritual herbs scattered throughout the Daoist temple were able to transform into acquired spiritual roots.

Although there seem to be many of them here in Huanglong, even ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals might not have a single acquired spiritual root in the outside world.

Huanglong looked at the dozen or so duplicated acquired spiritual roots that had appeared in the dojo, and then at the Chan Sect members who were shuttling between the Kunlun Mountains, constantly transplanting spiritual herbs and immortal medicines from Huanglong's dojo to the Kunlun Mountains.

Huang Long did not participate in the reconstruction of Kunlun Wonderland this time. Instead, he stayed in the Five Elements Courtyard, sipping Enlightenment Tea and reflecting on the gains from the recent Lich War.

However, Zi Ling, who was appointed by Huang Long as the chief steward of the Five Elements Grotto-Heaven, became the chief steward of the entire Kunlun Mountain Immortal Herb and Spirit Medicine Transplantation Project.

When it comes to cultivating some rare medicinal herbs, Taiyi, Yuding, and others have to consult Ziling!

In Kunlun today, apart from the Sanqing Peak where Yuanshi Tianzun resides, Ziling can go wherever she wants!

Her vast group of Purple Jade Peaks also split into many smaller groups, which were scattered among the Kunlun Mountains, allowing them to multiply and thrive on their own!

Zi Ling knows everything about the events, big and small, that happen in this vast Kunlun!

Therefore, Huanglong could often "hear" Ziling chattering and reporting the latest progress of the various dojos of the Chan Sect disciples, as well as the degree of recovery in the Kunlun Mountains.

"My lord, my lord, Master Manjushri's Wisdom Forest has expanded again! He says there are now thirty-six kinds of spiritual trees in the forest that can enlighten the mind!"

"In Master Cihang's herb garden, that Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass has sprouted its seventh leaf! Master Cihang is overjoyed!"

"On Master Daoxing's Heavenly Pillar Peak, a flock of naturally born seven-colored lark have made their home; they are so beautiful!"

"..."

Hearing this, Huang Long smiled.

He didn't even need to observe; he could imagine that the Kunlun Mountains must look completely different now.

However, creating the Kunlun Wonderland is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

From initially filling in the gaps, to the meticulous matching in the middle stage, and then to the pursuit of perfection in the later stage, the disciples of Chan Sect transplanted not only elixirs and spiritual herbs, but also their hard work, time, and sincere feelings for the temple.

Before we knew it, hundreds of years had passed in a flash.

On this day, Huanglong had just awakened from his enlightenment and was watering his own dojo with sweet rain. Most of the spiritual plants in the dojo had been transplanted to Kunlun Mountain, making the entire Five Elements Cave Heaven seem a bit empty. Fortunately, Ziling had already replanted the seedlings, and it would recover once they grew up!

Suddenly, he felt something and looked up towards Kunlun.

"Alright!" Huang Long muttered to himself.

After hundreds of years of practice and refinement, Guang Chengzi, Taiyi, and others have gone from needing Zi Ling's guidance to having considerable experience in cultivating spiritual herbs. They can even combine different spiritual plants according to the different dojos of their respective dojos, allowing them to coexist.

Their "skill" is already highly refined...!

Huanglong transmitted his voice throughout the grotto-heaven, summoning Ziling.

"Zi Ling, go and bring out the 'Yi Wood Green Spirit Vine,' 'Geng Metal Sword Tree,' 'Red Blood Jujube,' and other duplicate acquired spiritual roots."

"Then go and invite your ten senior uncles, including Guangchengzi, Taiyi, and Yuding, to come to Wudao Peak for a discussion."

Zi Ling's expression suddenly darkened: "Master, are we going to send those precious spiritual roots away?"

Huang Long nodded: "Make the most of everything. Kunlun's cultural heritage should be further enhanced."

Seeing Zi Ling's somewhat downcast expression, Huang Long smiled and said, "Even if we give it away, my dojo has enough for making honey!"

......

On Wudao Peak, the sea of ​​clouds rolls and swirls, exuding a strong Taoist aura.

Ten elite disciples of the Chan Sect, including the Antarctic Immortal, Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Taiyi, and Yu Ding, gathered together.

No one knew why Huang Long had invited them, but their eyes were all involuntarily drawn to the center of the platform.

There, more than ten acquired spiritual roots, each with a different shape but equally radiant and astonishing aura, were quietly suspended.

Although most of their unusual phenomena were suppressed, they still exuded a captivating aura of law and surging vitality.

Huang Long didn't keep everyone waiting and began to introduce each of the acquired forest roots.

The first plant is a winding, dragon-like emerald vine with jade-like leaves and a blue spiritual light flowing through its veins, emanating a rich and pure essence of Yi wood. This is the "Yi Wood Azure Spirit Vine," which has the power to gather the energy of Eastern green wood and stimulate the vitality of all things.

The second tree was a small tree only three feet tall, with branches straight as swords and leaves that were silvery-white with sharp edges. When shaken gently, it produced a faint clanging sound and a faint metallic aura that seemed to cut through the air. This was the "Gengjin Sword Soul Tree," whose leaves and branches were excellent materials for crafting flying swords and magical treasures, and could also help people comprehend the sharpness of the metal element.

The third tree was laden with crimson jujubes, and wisps of bloody aura lingered among its leaves. It was none other than the very familiar Crimson Jujube!

The fourth plant is a lotus rooted in dark black soil. Its leaves are like black jade, while the lotus flower is yellowish-brown, heavy and stable, as if supporting the earth. This is the "Earth-Bearing Lotus," which can stabilize the earth's veins, harmonize the five elements of earth, and nurture the essence of the earth.

The fifth plant is a coral-like plant, its entire body crystalline like ice crystals, emanating a soft, cool aura, with tiny ice crystals condensing and falling around it. This is the "Mysterious Ice Jade Coral," born in the extreme cold abyss of the North Sea, capable of gathering water-based spiritual energy.

The sixth tree is a longevity peach tree. This peach tree blooms once every hundred years, bears fruit once every hundred years, and matures once every hundred years. The "longevity peach" it produces can extend one's life by several hundred years—of course, this is a theoretical value, and the actual effect varies from person to person.

The seventh bamboo is an ordinary-looking green bamboo with nine sections, each with a slightly different color, gradually changing from dark green at the bottom to light purple at the top. Dewdrops often condense on the bamboo leaves, emitting a cleansing fragrance.

......

After Huang Long finished his introduction!

Even the Great Luo Immortal of the South Pole, who had long since achieved enlightenment, couldn't help but show appreciation when he looked at these spiritual roots.

Manjushri, Yu Ding, and the others were breathing heavily, their eyes filled with undisguised longing.

A acquired spiritual root!
