Primordial Era: If I remain in Longevity Mountain, I will steadily attain sainthood.

Chapter 26: Upgrading the Pure White Lotus, Yin-Yang Tower

The two ginseng fruits were quickly finished, and both Jieyin and Zhunti were still reluctant to eat more.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi also had his own plans. He said, "Junior brothers, let's discuss the Dao first. When you leave, I will have the boy beat up two more so you can take them with you."

Upon hearing this, both Jieyin and Zhunti's eyes lit up slightly. Zhunti, fearing that Jieyin would refuse, quickly said, "Then I'll trouble you, senior brother."

"Haha, you're too kind, junior brother," Zhen Yuanzi laughed.

Hongyun neither stopped Zhen Yuanzi from being generous nor felt distressed. After all, this was nothing.

He spent every day with Zhen Yuanzi and knew his elder brother very well.

If Zhen Yuanzi were truly generous, then he would have only given out a few ginseng fruits, and besides the ginseng fruits, he hadn't even served the Enlightenment Tea.

This was merely a reciprocal exchange of courtesy between the two. Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun had also spoken privately about Jieyin and Zhunti.

Hongyun felt that the two could associate with each other, but she also told Zhenyuanzi about some of their character traits.

Therefore, Zhen Yuanzi was still somewhat wary of the two of them.

After finishing the ginseng fruit, the four began to discuss the Dao, mainly exchanging what they had learned from listening to the Dao at Zixiao Palace.

There wasn't much to hide from each other.

Moreover, this method of mutual exchange and discussion is more conducive to the four people digesting what they have learned from this sermon.

The four of them discussed the Dao for a full thousand years before finally stopping.

After the discussion was over, Jieyin and Zhunti did not linger. They bid farewell and left Wanshou Mountain.

After seeing the two off, Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi exchanged a glance and smiled.

"My dear brother, these two are indeed as you say. Although their character is slightly flawed, their cultivation is truly remarkable," Zhen Yuanzi said.

"Um."

Upon hearing this, Hongyun nodded and said, "Our Wanshou Mountain spans both the east and west. Although there are more cultivators on the east side, we are still bordering the west."

"Looking to the East, there are many with high cultivation, but in the West, perhaps only Jieyin and Zhunti have the highest cultivation. If a saint is to emerge in the West in the future, won't it fall to these two?"

"So we should befriend the two of them beforehand?" Zhen Yuanzi asked with a smile.

"In the Zixiao Palace, the six prayer cushions represent the six divinely ordained holy positions."

Hongyun said, "However, the Three Pure Ones occupy half of the six saintly positions. If they become saints in the future, their power will be immense."

"Although we don't want to compete with others, we should still plan ahead and make more friends with fellow Daoists. Although Jieyin and Zhunti are only nominal disciples, we cannot ignore them."

"Well, that's settled then. I've gained some insights from discussing the Dao with them, but I plan to go into seclusion for a while longer. What about you, my brother?" Zhen Yuanzi asked again.

Hongyun said, "I also want to go into seclusion, but brother, don't worry. I got a gourd on Buzhou Mountain, so I'll give you this bitter bamboo. When you open up your world, this bitter bamboo will be useful for stabilizing the Earth Book world."

As he spoke, Hongyun took out the bitter bamboo that Zhunti had given him earlier and handed it to Zhenyuanzi.

The bitter bamboo was still alive and had not been refined into a magic weapon, which made it much more useful.

Zhen Yuanzi did not refuse, took the bitter bamboo and put it away, saying, "Then I will go into seclusion."

"Go ahead, go ahead," Hongyun said.

Zhen Yuanzi smiled, said nothing more, and turned to go into seclusion.

After Zhen Yuanzi left, Hongyun suddenly remembered something, but since Zhen Yuanzi was already gone, Hongyun didn't go looking for him. She smiled and said, "Never mind, I don't think my brother will blame me."

But then they saw Hongyun run to the back of Longevity Hill, where a lotus pond had been dug. There were only a dozen or so lotus flowers in the pond, which were the Pure White Lotus.

These dozen or so Pure White Lotuses were all only of the third grade, yet Hongyun managed to capture them all and pluck them.

However, there are still lotus roots in the lotus pond, and lotus flowers will grow again in the future.

After collecting the dozen or so lotus flowers, Hongyun was finally satisfied and returned to her palace to begin her seclusion.

However, upon entering the palace, Hongyun did not cultivate. Instead, with a thought, she took out the dozen or so lotus flowers she had just picked, as well as the ninth-grade Pure World White Lotus.

The reason for this is the innate spiritual treasure enhancement card that Hongyun obtained.

It is possible to upgrade a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, but there is a price to pay: some similar treasures need to be sacrificed.

After obtaining the card, Hongyun's first thought was of her own Ninth-Rank Pure World White Lotus.

And the magical treasures similar to the Nine-Rank Pure White Lotus are naturally its offspring and descendants.

Hongyun then took out the Innate Spiritual Treasure Enhancement Card, and after using it, it immediately transformed into a golden light.

The ninth-grade Pure World White Lotus and the dozen or so third-grade Pure World White Lotuses were wrapped together.

Hongyun heard what seemed to be the sound of water, fire, and wind surging within the golden light. After a while, the golden light gradually dissipated, revealing a brand new lotus platform.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine... ten, eleven, twelve, the twelve grades of the Pure White Lotus.

This ninth-grade Pure World White Lotus has successfully been upgraded to a twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus, which is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

"Now I won't be outdone." Hongyun was quite satisfied. With a thought, she put away the Pure World White Lotus.

Then he took out another item, which was a primordial spiritual root, a five-needle pine. This five-needle pine was also a top-grade primordial spiritual root.

However, it is not among the top ten spiritual roots.

The Ten Great Spiritual Roots of the Primordial World: Yellow Plum Tree, Ginseng Fruit Tree, Gourd Vine, Flat Peach Tree, Bitter Bamboo, Hibiscus Tree, Laurel Tree, Immortal Apricot, Hollow Willow Tree, and Bodhi Tree.

Although the five-needle pine is not among the top ten spiritual roots, it is still a genuine top-grade innate spiritual root.

What's even more remarkable is that it directly contains the complete laws of the Five Elements.

This was extremely suitable for Hongyun at this time, as he was just missing such a spiritual root to assist him.

It turns out that when Hongyun created the world before, he used the Four Symbols to transform into the Five Elements, which evolved the heavens and the earth, and even formed five great incarnations.

For Hongyun, the Five Elements could be considered an extremely important part of his foundational Dao.

Therefore, Hongyun naturally cherished this spiritual root that contained the principles of the Five Elements.

However, Hongyun did not immediately use this spiritual root to assist in cultivation, but instead planted it in his own Qiankun Pearl world.

Then, Hongyun had a sudden thought and took out another treasure. This time, it was a primordial spiritual treasure.

A top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

This supreme innate spiritual treasure was actually a pagoda with thirty-six stories. The entire pagoda was black and white.

It exudes a powerful aura of Yin and Yang. Clearly, this is an innate spiritual treasure with Yin and Yang attributes, and it is named the Yin-Yang Tower.
