Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chapter 36, Exchanging Ink Jade Plum Blossoms

But why is Hongyun so lucky? Not only are her companion spirit treasures incredibly powerful, but she also produces one innate spirit root after another. Where did she get all of this?

Hongyun was startled by the sudden sound and looked over before she could even straighten up.

"Zhenyuan, what brings you here? When did you arrive?" Hongyun asked somewhat guiltily.

His actions would be laughable in later generations, let alone in the prehistoric world, where everyone is obsessed with cultivation and has no entertainment whatsoever. If Zhen Yuanzi had seen him, he would probably have been seen as a fool.

Zhen Yuanzi's eyes darted away, and he coughed twice deliberately, saying, "Just arrived!"

Hongyun was unaware that his actions had not changed his image in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes at all. This was not because Zhen Yuanzi hadn't seen anything, but because his image in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes had always remained the same and would not change because of these actions.

"I didn't see anything." Zhen Yuanzi still couldn't lie. Even this white lie made him feel guilty, so he added a sentence, which was a clear case of protesting too much.

Hongyun was speechless; he might as well have kept quiet.

Zhen Yuanzi also felt that his words had backfired and was somewhat embarrassed.

So they changed the subject, pointing to the sapling in the pit and asking, "What is this?"

Hongyun glanced down at it too. Then she remembered to show off this treasure to Zhen Yuanzi: "This is something I got after going out to play with the little animals in the mountains every day!"

Its name is Ink Jade Plum Blossom, and it possesses an innate spiritual root; its spiritual power is no weaker than that of the Ginseng Fruit Tree and the Enlightenment Tea Tree!

Zhen Yuanzi moved closer and helped Hongyun hold the sapling while she bent down to bury it.

"How did you get it?" It was unbelievable. How could someone be so lucky as to find such a treasure after just a few days of travel?

Hongyun chuckled.

Just now, on my way back, I ran into Mingyue Qingfeng. Seeing their serious expressions, I couldn't resist the urge to retaliate, so as they bowed, I suddenly gave them both a Bagua Palm strike. I successfully earned two angry but speechless glares in return.

And the system notification: "Ding! Three points of anger have been credited to your account!"

Hongyun suddenly had a whim and checked the anger points in her account, wanting to know how much all those scattered decimals added up to. To her surprise, she discovered that these tiny decimals added up to quite a lot, exceeding 300,000.

Then what are we waiting for? Let's just buy the Black Jade Plum Blossom! Anyway, anger points can't be exchanged for immorality points, and can't be used to pay off debts.

That's why Zhen Yuanzi saw what happened when he came in.

"I found it on the mountain!" Hongyun said matter-of-factly.

"How come you have such good fortune?" Zhen Yuanzi was truly shocked.

"I get along well with the little animals on the mountain, and they helped me find it!" Hongyun said without batting an eye, as if this were the truth.

Zhen Yuanzi did not doubt Hongyun's method of finding the Black Jade Plum, but he completely questioned Hongyun's words. Given his behavior, it was truly unbelievable that the small animals on the mountain would get along with him.

"I originally thought of planting the Black Jade Plum outside the gate, but then I thought that this courtyard is empty, so I might as well plant it here first. Once we find another one, we can plant it outside the gate. At that time, the spiritual power of Wuzhuang Temple will definitely be unmatched anywhere else." Hongyun said while working, as if planting the next tree was an easy task.

Even Zhen Yuanzi was taken aback and wanted to give Hongyun a good whack!
