Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

"Then, acquired spiritual treasures are the same as innate spiritual treasures, differing only in the amount of innate spiritual restrictions they contain!"

"The only difference is that innate spiritual treasures have an additional innate undying spiritual light compared to acquired spiritual treasures."

When Huanglong finally awoke from the vast torrent of information, several months had passed. He rubbed his throbbing head and said with a wry smile, "As expected of the legacy left by a sage. If I hadn't reached the Golden Immortal level and my primordial spirit was already immortal, I wouldn't even be qualified to receive the legacy."

Huang Long stood still for a moment, looked at the tightly closed gates of Yuqing Palace, and solemnly bowed in the direction of the gates.

"This disciple will certainly diligently cultivate the Great Dao and live up to the kindness of Master in imparting the Dao."

After saying that, he rode a streak of light through the clouds and sped towards his own Daoist temple, the Five Elements Cave Heaven.

Before long, the familiar energy of heaven and earth entered his primordial spirit.

Below the clouds, a grand array of the Five Elements was revealed before Huanglong. Five-colored light circulated endlessly, like a huge canopy, slowly rotating and harmonizing the Five Elements.

Huang Long's mind stirred slightly, and the Five Elements Array that covered the area slowly revealed a passage as tall as a person. After the escape light nimbly passed through the passage, the passage closed.

Upon entering the cave, the clouds and mist formed from innate spiritual energy rushed towards him, mixed with the faint fragrance of grass and trees, which invigorated Huanglong's mind and relieved his throbbing head.

I'm not in the mood to appreciate the beauty of this grotto right now.

Huanglong quickly descended his escape light and landed in the courtyard on the mountainside of the Enlightenment Peak in the center. He took out a reclining chair, placed it under the Enlightenment Tea Tree, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Just as Zi Ling sensed her master's return, she shot down from the Spirit Medicine Peak like a streak of purple light, landing beside the Enlightenment Tea Tree. Looking at the sleeping Yellow Dragon, she turned and left, but the sound of bees fluttering their wings in the cave became faint and inaudible.

As the sun rose and the moon set, three years passed in Huanglong's sleep.

Zi Ling, who often came to check if Huang Long had woken up, had just arrived at the side of Wudao Peak when she saw that the gate of the courtyard was already open and a figure in yellow robes was looking out from the doorway.

Upon seeing Zi Ling, Huang Long waved to her. Zi Ling flapped her wings and landed beside Huang Long. Her radiance subsided, and she transformed into a girl dressed in a long purple gauze dress.

She was petite and had a beautiful face. A pair of almost transparent wings on her back were still swaying in the wind, and specks of crystalline purple light fell down.

"Master, you're finally awake!" Zi Ling bowed gracefully, her voice clear and melodious, filled with undisguised joy.

"I sensed the fluctuations of the grotto-heaven array earlier, and knew that Master had returned, but you fell asleep immediately upon your return."

Huang Long nodded slightly and gestured for her to help him up: "No need for formalities. Zi Ling, you and your people have had a hard time these past years."

"It's not hard at all, it's much better here than outside."

"Where else can you find so many miraculous herbs and medicinal plants for bees to collect nectar and make honey?"

"Master, look, my clan has grown much stronger, and my cultivation has reached the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm." Zi Ling stood up, her eyebrows curving, pointing to the purple light spots that were moving among the flowers in the mountains, and then pointing to herself.

"During your absence from the mountain, sir, everything in the grotto has been fine. Under the care of our bees, the flowers of all kinds of spiritual plants have become more and more fragrant, and the honey made from their pollen has become better and better."

As she spoke, a jade bottle carved from jade appeared in Zi Ling's hands, which she held in front of Huang Long.

Huang Long picked up the jade bottle and gently opened the cap. A rich honey fragrance wafted out. Looking at the honey inside, which was as white as jade, Huang Long took out a piece and put it in his mouth. The rich floral fragrance instantly melted in his mouth, and a gentle power nourished Huang Long's body.

Indeed, these honeys are extraordinary, capable of even nourishing one's own golden immortal body.

If Zi Ling's cultivation level were to improve further, the honey she brewed would be even more effective.

"Hmm, not bad, very good!" Huang Long praised.

Upon hearing Huang Long's praise, Zi Ling's lips curled up in a smile, and her eyes narrowed into two clear crescent moons.

"Unfortunately, it contains too little medicinal power. You must cultivate diligently to brew better spiritual honey."

Zi Ling raised her two fists, her face serious, and said with great determination, "I will definitely work hard in my cultivation and brew the spiritual honey that will be useful to Master as soon as possible."

Huang Long's gaze swept over the well-cared-for medicinal herbs and elixirs. Their age had clearly increased considerably, but their spiritual power and medicinal efficacy far exceeded that of the others. "Take me for a stroll."

"Yes, sir, please follow me."

Zi Ling led the way down Wudao Peak and first arrived at the Blood Jujube Garden in the south.

One could see rows of blood-red jujube trees standing tall, their branches densely covered with blood-red jujubes, each plump and round, about the size of a fist, with a translucent skin that seemed to have blood flowing inside, emitting a sweet and mellow fragrance that made one's mouth water.

"Master, these blood dates only ripen once every ten years, and they just happened to ripen this year. Moreover, there are many more fruits than in previous years, and the essence of blood and qi contained in the fruits far exceeds that of the past," Zi Ling explained from the side.

Huang Long nodded. His mother tree's spiritual root takes three hundred years to mature in one batch. These are only second-generation seeds and are not considered spiritual roots, but they are still top-tier spiritual herbs.

He reached out and plucked two ripe fruits, feeling a slight burning sensation on his fingertips. He put one in his mouth and gently sipped it. A warm current instantly spread, nourishing his entire body. He nodded in praise, "Not bad, the medicinal power is pure and potent. You all put in a lot of effort."

He tossed the other blood date in his hand to Ziling, "You should try one too."

Zi Ling put the blood date into her mouth. As the medicinal power of the blood date circulated throughout her body, Zi Ling's aura also strengthened slightly.

Afterwards, the two rode auspicious clouds to Lingyao Peak, where rare herbs were abundant. The mountain was covered with exotic flowers and herbs that exuded fragrance. In the newly opened spiritual fields, thousand-year-old ginseng and he shou wu were piled up. Only ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs could enjoy a single medicinal field.

After visiting the Spirit Medicine Peak, they arrived at the Lotus Peak to the north.

On the mountainside, there was a small lotus pond with crystal-clear water. A faint white glow shimmered on the surface, carrying an aura of holiness and purity. A single white lotus stood gracefully.

It was the young lotus planted by Huanglong back then. Several emerald green lotus leaves, as large as canopies, spread out on the water's surface, with pure Dao patterns flowing through their veins.

A stem, as if carved from white jade, emerged from the water, its tip supporting a white lotus bud about to bloom. The petals were tightly closed, yet wisps of Taoist charm emanated from the petals and spread across the lotus pond.

Furthermore, wisps of white Dao patterns spread out from the flower bud, disappearing into the void and resonating with this world.

"That white lotus has grown to such a state!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Huang Long's eyes. He squatted down, scooped up a handful of pool water. The water was exceptionally clear and cool to the touch. A pure power seeped into his skin, making even his Golden Immortal-level primordial spirit feel a sense of clarity.

"Nurtured by these white lotuses, this pool of water contains a trace of pure purifying power, capable of washing away impurities, purifying magical power, and removing inner demons and impurities!"

Zi Ling said, "That's exactly right! Although this white lotus grows slowly, its aura is growing stronger and stronger, unknowingly affecting the water in this pool. I often drink this spiritual water, and my spiritual light becomes clearer, making my cultivation speed much faster!"

Huang Long thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, let's call it 'Purifying Lotus Elixir' then."
