Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Zhen Yuanzi pointed to the spiritual fruit on the plate and smiled at Huanglong, "My ginseng fruit tree is a top-grade innate tree. It takes three thousand years for the flower to bloom, three thousand years to bear fruit, and another three thousand years to mature. In nearly ten thousand years, it has only produced thirty fruits."

"This fruit tastes good. When the fruit first ripened, my good friend Hongyun was with me, and I could taste it all the time. I couldn't wait for the next batch to ripen. What a pity..." Then she seemed to think of her friend's departure.

Looking at Zhen Yuanzi, who was lost in thought, Huang Long comforted him, "Senior, do not be sad. Senior Hongyun's spirit is still here. It is the greatest blessing that he will be able to eat this ginseng fruit when he returns."

Zhen Yuanzi also said, "Yes, as long as the true spirit is still there, there will still be a day when we can reunite."

"Please excuse my poor attempt, young friend. Please, try my magical fruit!"

Zhen Yuanzi handed a ginseng fruit to Huang Long, and at the same time picked one up and slowly savored it.

Huang Long took a ginseng fruit and felt its coolness in his hand; the outer skin was smooth and glossy.

He took a small bite, and a unique fragrance instantly spread out. After a little chewing, his mouth was filled with sweet juice. Once swallowed, it immediately transformed into a rich essence of wood, spreading throughout his body. At the same time, a gentle warmth nourished his soul.

Just as Huanglong was about to take another bite, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Qingfeng and Mingyue were both staring intently at the spiritual fruit on the plate, drooling unknowingly streaming down their lips.

He looked at the eight fruits sitting quietly in the jade plate, took two of them, and handed them to Qingfeng and Mingyue respectively.

The two children visibly swallowed, but instead of accepting the ginseng fruit offered by Huang Long, they turned their attention to Zhen Yuanzi, who was eating the fruit.

While eating the fruit, Zhen Yuanzi said, "Why are you looking at me? Your senior brother Huanglong is giving it to you, so just take it."

Qingfeng and Mingyue happily accepted the ginseng fruit from Huanglong, thanked him, and were about to put the fruit in their mouths when Zhenyuanzi said again:

"However, if we don't refine what we eat, we won't have anything to eat for ten thousand years!"

The fruit that Qingfeng and Mingyue had just put in their mouths was taken back, and the two little heads huddled together, whispering and discussing something.

In the end, the two of them shared one piece, saving the other to take out later when they wanted to eat it.

"Hahaha!"

Zhen Yuanzi and Huang Long watched as Qingfeng Mingyue, having finished their discussion, each took a bite, and burst into laughter.

After swallowing a ginseng fruit, Huanglong felt his body filled with magical power and his body felt light. However, the essence of this ginseng fruit, which was only one-tenth of the original amount, was distributed throughout his body and would need to be slowly refined and absorbed in the future.

Feeling the changes in his body, Huang Long exclaimed to Zhen Yuanzi, "Senior, this ginseng fruit truly lives up to its reputation as a top-grade innate spiritual root!"

"Senior invited me to taste your spiritual root. Although I do not have a spiritual root as innate as yours, I do have some tea leaves, which taste quite good. Please, senior, try them."

After Huang Long finished speaking, he took out a teapot, drew water into it from thin air, boiled it, added tea leaves, and in a moment a rich aroma of tea filled the entire hall.

Smelling the aroma of the tea, Zhen Yuanzi asked with slight doubt, "Enlightenment Tea... Hmm... It's not Enlightenment Tea, it's far inferior to Enlightenment Tea!"

"This must have been cultivated!"

Hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, Huang Long asked in surprise, "Senior has excellent eyesight. This Enlightenment Tea was cultivated by the Azure Dragon Ancestor, who bestowed upon me a plant."

"No wonder, in the entire primordial world, apart from the Dao Ancestor, only Fellow Daoist Azure Dragon could cultivate this Enlightenment Tea!"

Huang Long first poured a cup of tea for Zhen Yuanzi, then poured two more cups and handed them to Qingfeng and Mingyue, and finally poured one for himself.

The group quietly sipped their tea. Huang Long asked Zhen Yuanzi, "Senior, could you tell me why, apart from the Dao Ancestor, only the Azure Dragon Ancestor could cultivate this Enlightenment Tea?"

Zhen Yuanzi took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "This Enlightenment Tea is originally a top-grade innate spiritual root, just like my Ginseng Fruit Tree."

"Unfortunately, it was born during the great war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans. In the struggle, it was pierced into pieces by the Demon Ancestor Rahu with a single spear. In the end, the participants in the struggle each took some branches and leaves."

"Fellow Daoist Qinglong's expertise in cultivating spiritual roots is unparalleled in the prehistoric world. As for the Dao Ancestor, he is mysterious and unpredictable, and his methods are beyond our comprehension."

Zhen Yuanzi took another sip of tea, then paused, as if remembering something. He reached out and stepped into the void. When he withdrew his hand, there was a charred object in it.

"It's of no use to me anyway. Since we're destined to meet, I'll give it to you!" He slowly handed it to Huanglong.

Huang Long reached out and caught it, examining it closely but unable to discern what it was. It was neither wood nor iron, yet it had a slight jade-like quality.

"Senior, this is...!"

"This is the root of the Enlightenment Tea Tree that I found on that battlefield. Although it was tainted by demonic energy, it still had a trace of life. Unfortunately, I am not good at the way of spiritual root creation, and I have been unable to revive its life. Now, that trace of life is about to dissipate."

"You possess a great opportunity; perhaps in your hands, you can even recreate the primordial world!"

Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, Huang Long re-examined the charred, jade-like tree root and finally sensed a faint trace of life at its center.

Huanglong quickly took the root of the Enlightenment Tea Tree into the Xuanhuang Realm and placed it in the lotus pond of the Pure World White Lotus to purify the wisp of demonic energy within.

"Thank you, senior. If I can revive it, I will treat you to the Enlightenment Tea produced by your innate spiritual root!"

"Alright, I'll be waiting for your Enlightenment Tea, young friend."

Speaking of cultivating spiritual roots, Huang Long looked at the ginseng fruit on the jade plate and had an idea. He asked, "Senior, your ginseng fruit is a top-grade innate fruit. I wonder if we could try to cultivate it by branching it? If we could get a few acquired spiritual roots, although they would not be as good as your mother tree, they would be better in terms of quantity and yield."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi smiled and then shook his head: "Young friend, you are unaware of this. This tree was born of nature, bearing the Dao of the innate Yi Wood, and its status is extremely high."

"In the past, Hongyun and I made many attempts, but all of them failed. Furthermore, because we divided too many spiritual branches, we almost damaged the essence of the ginseng fruit mother tree."

"In the end, Hongyun and I searched the entire prehistoric world and only found a few drops of the Three Lights Divine Water. We then had to consume countless divine items to restore our spiritual source. It was truly a case of losing more than we gained." His words were tinged with regret and helplessness.

"The Three Lights Divine Water!" Huang Long remembered that there were still a few drops in the Creation Gourd bestowed by his master, and that more than ten drops had been condensed over the tens of thousands of years. So he said to Zhen Yuanzi.

"Senior, I still have some of the Three Lights Divine Water on me. It was a gift from my master. If you need it, I can give it to you."

Zhen Yuanzi couldn't possibly accept something from a junior, and quickly waved his hand in refusal.

Huanglong pondered for a moment and said, "Senior, I have a divine ability. It was passed down by the Azure Dragon Ancestor and contains the vitality of creation, which is of great help to spiritual roots and immortal herbs."

"The sweet rain that fell when Senior Creation Red Cloud self-destructed and destroyed the primordial land was it; Senior also saw it."
