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

Chapter 4 Fire Cloud Cave, Encountering a Spiritual Treasure

After all, after the Fire Cloud Cave changed its master to Hongyun, it was used as a residence for the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors after they attained enlightenment.

Therefore, the cultivation environment in Huoyun Cave is in no way inferior to that of Wanshou Mountain.

However, Hongyun did not intend to separate from Zhenyuanzi. Although Huoyun Cave was good, she planned to use it only as a separate residence for the time being.

Furthermore, if a method becomes available in the future, Hongyun plans to move the entire Huoyun Cave to Wanshou Mountain and merge the two blessed lands together.

Upon entering the Fire Cloud Cave, Hongyun found a fairly good high-grade innate spiritual root.

It was a jujube tree. This jujube tree blooms once every eight hundred years, bears fruit once every eight hundred years, and matures once every eight hundred years.

Its growth cycle is much shorter than that of the ginseng fruit tree; it can be harvested every two thousand years or so.

Eating these fire dates can increase fire spirit energy; if consumed over a long period, they can even transform one into a fire spirit body.

The results were quite good.

However, this naturally didn't have much effect on Hongyun; it only satisfied her appetite.

After all, these jujubes, though not as delicious as ginseng fruit, are still very sweet.

Besides the Fire Jujube Tree, there are many other low-grade and mid-grade innate spiritual roots, as well as many acquired spiritual roots, which I will not go into detail about.

Besides the spiritual root, Hongyun also gained another treasure, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

It is named Fire Cloud Shuttle.

Judging from its name, the Fire Cloud Shuttle is useless again, as it is clearly a magical artifact used for flight.

Although it can be used for attack, it is much weaker. As for speed, the red cloud is much faster than this broken shuttle when it flies.

It's best described as tasteless, yet too good to throw away.

No, that's not right. If we don't use the Fire Cloud Shuttle ourselves, we can give it to Zhen Yuanzi.

Hongyun finally remembered that she had an older brother, Zhen Yuanzi, and planned to give him the Fire Cloud Shuttle when she met him.

"But speaking of which, didn't Hongyun not have any magical treasures at all? It wasn't until after his first sermon that he obtained a gourd at Buzhou Mountain and refined it into the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd?" Hongyun muttered to himself.

After thinking about it, I could only conclude that Hongyun had found the Fire Cloud Cave relatively late.

Did the treasure fly away?

All innate spiritual treasures possess their own spirituality. When they grow to a certain extent, they fly away on their own, hide away, and slowly nurture their spirituality, transforming into intelligence and eventually becoming living beings. This is not surprising at all.

Besides that, surely Hongyun couldn't have been robbed? Or could Hongyun be so kind as to give away all his innate spiritual treasures?

No way, really?

Hongyun put these chaotic thoughts aside, but she also tidied up Huoyun Cave and set it up as her own separate residence.

Finally, another formation was established, a Four Symbols Formation, to protect the Fire Cloud Cave.

Hongyun cultivated in the Fire Cloud Cave for a while, partly to experience the cave's unique features.

Each grotto-heaven and blessed land contains some kind of mystery.

Otherwise, so much spiritual energy wouldn't have gathered here, giving birth to so many spiritual roots and treasures.

Secondly, he also ate about half of the fruit from the fire date tree. As the name suggests, the fire date embodies the way of fire.

There are still benefits for Hongyun, especially for this first batch of fruits, which are top-grade innate spiritual roots like the ginseng fruit tree from before.

Whether it's a top-grade innate spiritual root like the Fire Jujube Tree, or other mid-grade or low-grade innate spiritual roots, as long as it's an innate spiritual root, it will have the same effect.

The first batch of fruits will contain fragments of the Great Dao, and eating them will bring great benefits.

As for why Hongyun left half of it, it goes without saying that it was for Zhen Yuanzi.

After a brief stay of several thousand years, Hongyun decided not to remain there any longer and left.

This time, Hongyun's target is Buzhou Mountain. As for why he didn't go to the East Sea...

Although there are many fairy islands in the legends of the East Sea, such as Penglai Island, Yingzhou Island, Fangzhang Island, the Three Immortal Islands where the Three Immortals of Sanxiao lived, and Jin'ao Island, the Daoist temple of the Jie Sect of the Shangqing Sage Tongtian Jiaozhu, etc.

But the ocean is vast and boundless; who can easily find these fairy islands on such a boundless sea?

Hongyun still leans towards Mount Buzhou, which is not moving.

The mountain is right there; you can go whenever you want, or rather, you can only go now.

After the Lich Wars, Mount Buzhou will no longer exist.

If you want to see this mountain again, you can only lean in and let Guang Chengzi smash it with his Fan Tian Seal.

Hongyun headed straight for Buzhou Mountain, but unexpectedly, halfway there, he suddenly sensed something.

"Huh, I actually had such a stroke of luck?"

As Hongyun flew through the air, his divine sense unexpectedly gained something, sensing a special fluctuation of spiritual energy emanating from a distant mountain.

This fluctuation of spiritual energy belongs to a certain innate spiritual treasure. Moreover, this innate spiritual treasure seems to be quite powerful.

"Whoosh!"

Hongyun quickly arrived at the mountain, and with his arrival, the previously subtle fluctuations in spiritual energy suddenly became intense.

They surged wildly toward some place in the mountains.

"hey-hey."

Hongyun smiled. That innate spiritual treasure had given itself away without being asked; it had exposed itself.

Moreover, it's quite obvious that this innate spiritual treasure, which was mentioned earlier, has gradually developed powerful spirituality on its own. Is it planning to run away?

Hongyun dared not be negligent, lest the magical treasure really fly away.

When Hongyun arrived there, he saw a bronze plate enveloped in dense spiritual energy.

"What kind of treasure is this?"

With a thought, Hongyun immediately made a move, forming a large, hazy gray hand that reached out to grab the bronze plate.

The copper plate was also in a hurry, and suddenly, a copper coin flew out of the copper plate.

It has a round hole with a square opening, and it also has a pair of small wings.

Upon seeing the copper coin, Hongyun was immediately stunned. This was... a Treasure-Dropping Coin?

What is that bronze plate? Is it a treasure-gathering plate?

Before he could think any further, the copper coin flew up and headed straight for Hongyun's large hand.

However, this was destined to be in vain, as the treasure-dropping coins could yield magical treasures.

But Hongyun's power is supernatural, so how could he possibly fall into it?

Instead, Hongyun took it first, and his large hand continued to fall, reaching for the bronze plate.

"Buzzing!!"

The bronze plate emitted a dazzling golden light, wave after wave, desperately resisting the red cloud's large hand.

This prevented Hongyun's large hand from landing quickly.

However, although it was slow, it gradually broke through the copper plate's resistance.

Finally, all the golden light was forced back into the bronze plate.

Hongyun's large hand also grabbed the bronze plate into his palm.

Hongyun withdrew his hand, but in doing so, he suddenly gained two innate spiritual treasures.

The process went so smoothly that even Hongyun herself could hardly believe it.
