Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Huang Long bowed slightly to Zhen Yuanzi.

"This junior has been presumptuous and disturbed your peaceful cultivation, senior!"

Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand and turned his gaze to Xuan Du, who was standing to the side.

Xuan Du stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Xuan Du of the Human Race greets Senior Zhen Yuanzi."

Zhen Yuanzi quickly returned the greeting, his attitude warm yet measured: "Young friend Xuandu, it's been a long time. You've also become a Great Luo Golden Immortal. You truly deserve to be the esteemed disciple of the Taiqing Sage."

"How is your teacher doing lately?"

Xun Dudang: "Thank you for your concern, senior. My master is doing well and is currently transforming innate spiritual energy in the chaos to bring blessings to all living beings in the primordial world."

Within chaos?

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi looked up at the boundless void, towards the towering figures of several sages beyond the chaos, and then immediately lowered his head again!

A complex look flashed in his eyes: "Saints...you've worked hard!"

He changed the subject and said to Huang Long, "Come, come, young friend, it's rare for you to come all this way. Come with me into the temple for a chat. We haven't seen each other for several years, so let's catch up."

As he spoke, he waved his sleeve, and the great formation shimmered with light, automatically parting to create a passage.

Zhen Yuanzi took the lead, followed closely by Huanglong and Xuandu, heading deep into Wanshou Mountain!

A moment later, the three landed in front of Wuzhuang Temple.

Two figures rushed out of the temple.

"Senior Brother Huanglong!"

"Senior brother is here!"

At this moment, the gentle breeze and the bright moon are dressed in contrasting colors: one in green, the other in white.

They ran up to Huanglong, their faces full of excitement, their eyes shining, as if they were seeing long-lost relatives.

When he first came to Wuzhuang Temple, the two children were only four or five years old. Unexpectedly, after several years of study, they had only grown to be seven or eight years old.

Moreover, due to his background, his cultivation level only reached the Golden Immortal realm.

Qingfeng grabbed Huanglong's sleeve and said excitedly, "Senior brother, you've finally arrived! Mingyue and I have been talking about you every day."

Mingyue nodded repeatedly, her eyes crinkling into two crescent moons as she smiled: "Yes, yes! Senior brother, come with us to see the ginseng fruit tree you gave us back then. It's quite different now."

As they spoke, the two little ones grabbed Huanglong's hands on either side and headed towards the backyard.

Huang Long let them pull him along and turned to look at the town.

Zhen Yuanzi nodded with a smile: "Let's go! Let's go see the ginseng fruit tree you left behind back then."

Xuan Du smiled and nodded, clearly wanting to go and see as well.

A gentle breeze and a bright moon pulled Huanglong through numerous courtyards, chattering incessantly along the way.

"Senior brother, you don't know, that ginseng fruit tree is really strange."

"At first, it was just a lower-grade plant, and it grew slowly. Mingyue and I watered it with spiritual spring water every day, but it still didn't grow much."

"Then one day, the old man's mother tree suddenly emitted light, illuminating the entire backyard."

"The light fell on the ginseng fruit tree you left behind, and it grew rapidly, soon reaching a height of over ten zhang."

"The ginseng fruits that have grown are bigger and more fragrant than before, and each one is shimmering with a spiritual light; they are so beautiful."

As Huang Long listened to the two children talking back and forth, doubts arose in his heart!

A moment later, the group arrived at the backyard.

After crossing a barrier, a rich aura of Yi Wood spiritual energy rushed towards them.

Huang Long looked up and saw a fruit tree, over ten feet tall, standing gracefully in the courtyard.

Among the branches and leaves, about thirty ginseng fruits hang.

Each one is like a baby, with all the facial features, crystal white like jade, and radiating a faint spiritual light.

As the light flowed, faint, fine lines could be seen shimmering.

Huang Long was slightly taken aback.

This ginseng fruit tree has a more profound Daoist aura than the one in Kunlun Mountain!

"A top-grade acquired spiritual root!"

Huang Long said in surprise.

Qingfeng proudly raised his head: "How about that, Senior Brother is amazing, isn't he?"

Mingyue smiled and said, "This is all thanks to Qingfeng and me watering it and taking good care of it every day."

Huang Long chuckled and patted the two little ones on the head.

"Amazing! Amazing! My ginseng fruit tree can't compare to this one."

Walking under the tree, I carefully examined this top-grade acquired spiritual root, feeling the Daoist aura it emitted, and a few doubts arose in my heart.

Just then, Zhen Yuanzi behind him suddenly spoke.

"Young friend, are you wondering why this spiritual root has advanced so quickly?"

Huang Long turned around and glanced at Zhen Yuanzi, then cupped his hands and said, "Please enlighten me, senior."

Zhen Yuanzi walked to the tree, raised his hand to gently stroke the trunk, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Back then, you gifted this tree to Qingfeng and Mingyue, and they planted it once. Over time, this tree absorbed the Daoist essence dissipated from that top-grade spiritual root. Its origin has been accumulating continuously."

He paused, his tone becoming more solemn: "A thousand years ago, the heavens and earth trembled, and that innate spiritual root suddenly separated a portion of its origin and transferred it into this acquired spiritual root, which is how this top-grade acquired spiritual root was created."

Huang Long was shaken upon hearing this.

The innate spiritual root is extremely precious, yet that top-grade innate ginseng fruit tree would actually share its essence with an acquired spiritual root.

"Could it be that the birth of acquired spiritual energy has also affected this innate top-grade spiritual root?" Huang Long pondered to himself.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Senior, how is that innate ginseng fruit tree?"

Zhen Yuanzi smiled slightly: "It's alright. Even after a portion of its origin is separated, it will still be full of vitality."

Huang Long nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.

Xuan Du also stepped forward, carefully examining the top-grade acquired spiritual root, and exclaimed in admiration:

"With a top-grade acquired spiritual root and nourished by the Daoist essence of a top-grade innate spiritual root, this ginseng fruit is even more precious than some spiritual fruits formed from innate spiritual roots."

"Congratulations, senior! Congratulations!"

Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand with a smile: "Not at all, not at all. From now on, Tianling was a gift from my friend Huanglong to Qingfeng and Mingyue. If anyone should be congratulating someone, it should be them."

As he spoke, he turned and instructed, "Qingfeng and Mingyue, go and fetch some fruit; I wish to entertain my two young friends!"

Qingfeng Mingyue responded, took out a jade pestle, and prepared to climb the tree.

Zhen Yuanzi raised his hand and gently patted their heads: "What are you doing?"

Qingfeng covered his head and said aggrievedly, "Master, didn't you tell us to go and pick fruit?"

Zhen Yuanzi was both amused and annoyed: "With two young friends here, how dare you use this acquired spiritual root to entertain me? Don't I have any face to save?!"

Qingfeng Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, chuckled, covered her head, and ran deep into the backyard.

That place is where Zhen Yuanzi's innate top-grade spiritual root, the ginseng fruit tree, is located.

The three of them watched Qingfeng and Mingyue's figures, smiled, and turned to walk towards the main hall.

The main hall of Wuzhuang Temple is simple and magnificent. In the center are the two characters "Heaven and Earth" enshrined. The characters are vigorous and ancient, and the rhythm of the Great Dao is faintly flowing.

Zhen Yuanzi led Huanglong and Xuandu to their seats!

After settling down, Huang Long looked at Zhen Yuanzi solemnly and said, "Senior, Xuan Du and I have come here today with a request."
