Houtu is infatuated with me, so I made her lean against the wall.

Dragon Clan, Dragon Palace.

"Brother, all these merits have descended upon a place in the East Sea, but that place is shrouded in a terrifying array, making it impossible to know whose cave it is!"

Zhulong watched as Zulong reported to him.

Everyone desires merit, but it is not something that can be easily obtained by anyone.

Therefore, if a race wants to grow and prosper, it needs to constantly win over those cultivators with great fortune.

As long as these cultivators join the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Clan's fortune will also be improved accordingly.

Now, merit has descended from heaven upon the East Sea, which means that the cultivator who received the merit is in the East Sea.

Wouldn't this give the dragons an advantage?

Therefore, upon learning of this, Zulong immediately dispatched Zhulong to investigate.

"A terrifying formation?"

Zu Long narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and continued, "I'm afraid this place is the cave dwelling of that Pure World Daoist!"

"This Pure World Daoist is truly remarkable. I wonder what level his cultivation has reached now!"

"Brother, what should we do now?"

During the previous calamity of ferocious beasts, Qin Ming displayed an overwhelming level of strength.

As the saying goes, "How can one allow another to snore beside one's bed?"

The East Sea is the territory of their dragon clan, but now such a powerful cultivator has settled here. How could Zhulong not be worried?

"It's alright. Judging from that Pure World Daoist, he doesn't seem to have much ambition. He's only come to my East Sea to find a place to dwell!"

"On the contrary, we are the ones who can win him over!"

"If we can win him over, it will be of immense benefit to our dragon race in our future struggle for supremacy in the primordial world!"

"Go, prepare a generous gift; I will personally visit him!"

Zu Long shook his head; he was not worried about Qin Ming.

Based on my brief previous contact with Qin Ming, Qin Ming is not the kind of person with great ambition.

With no powerful backing, how could he not try to win over such a person?

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, Zhulong immediately went to prepare gifts.

However, their trip was destined to end in vain.

After accepting the merit, Qin Ming used spatial teleportation, covering a million miles in a single step, and disappeared from the Three Immortal Islands.

After several teleportations, Qin Ming finally set foot on the primordial land.

Having casually chosen an unnamed immortal mountain, Qin Ming channeled his magic power: "I am the Daoist of Purification, and I will now preach here. Those interested may come and listen to my teachings. This preaching will last for a hundred years!"

After saying that, Qin Ming took out a futon, sat down cross-legged, took out the Spirit Wine Manual, opened the wine pot, and found that it contained the Myriad Spirit Immortal Wine.

The Spirit Wine Compendium records the recipes for nine levels of spirit wine, as well as various special spirit wine recipes.

It's no exaggeration to say that with this Spirit Wine Manual, one could easily establish a sect that makes a living by brewing wine.

The spiritual wine on it is effective even for those who have reached the level of a Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal.

Of course, this is on the premise that you can obtain the corresponding medicinal materials.

He leisurely sipped the Wanling Immortal Wine while examining the recipe for the spirit wine.

As news of Qin Ming's sermon spread, some cultivators soon arrived at this nameless immortal mountain.

In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed. Seeing that the time was almost up, Qin Ming immediately began his sermon.

This also enabled the cultivators to learn what spirit wine was and how to brew it.

A century passed in the blink of an eye. After Qin Ming passed on all the recipes for the first four levels of spirit wine, he teleported to another immortal mountain before everyone could thank him.

Following the same method, they began to promote the spirit wine.

He preached hundreds of times over ten thousand years before finally meeting the requirement.

"This is exhausting! I'm never doing something so thankless again!"

"It's time to take a trip to Buzhou Mountain!"

After making a comment, Qin Ming was just about to use spatial teleportation to head towards Buzhou Mountain when he suddenly sensed the location of a large formation.

"Huh, I didn't expect there to be a hidden paradise here!"

Activating his Divine Eye of the Great Dao, Qin Ming carefully examined the area: "Judging from the fact that the formations of this grotto-heaven show no signs of being activated, it must be an unclaimed grotto-heaven!"

Thinking of this, Qin Ming did not hesitate and directly activated his magic power, stepping into the great formation under the analysis of the Great Dao Divine Eye.

With his current cultivation level, breaking through this uncontrolled formation would be a piece of cake.

In less than ten years, Qin Ming successfully entered the cave.

Looking at the stone tablet, Qin Ming's eyes showed a hint of surprise: "This is actually the Fire Cloud Cave!"

Huoyun Cave was originally the cave dwelling of Hongyun, a kind-hearted old man from the prehistoric era.

It's a pity that this cave is closely related to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race.

With this causal influence, even if Hongyun wasn't forced to his death by the Primordial Purple Qi, he would still die a violent death for various reasons later on.

After all, the human race is destined to be the main protagonist of the primordial world, and no one can shake its position.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were leaders of the human race, possessing immense fortune. Even with great cultivation, forming a karmic connection with such individuals could lead to one's demise!

Of course, if Hongyun were to abandon this cave dwelling, he could weaken this karmic connection, and by doing some things that would benefit the human race, this karmic connection could be eliminated.

But which cultivator would be willing to give up such a top-tier grotto-heaven?

A cultivator needs wealth, companions, Dharma, and a suitable environment; none of these four can be lacking.

Having a good cave dwelling will be of great benefit to future cultivation.

"Fellow Daoist, who are you, and why have you trespassed into my humble abode?"

Just as Qin Ming was pondering, a red cloud floated beside him and asked warily.

"This humble Daoist, Jingshi Daoist, observed that the formation of this grotto-heaven showed no signs of activation, and I originally thought it was an unclaimed grotto-heaven. I never imagined that a fellow Daoist resides here. I apologize for the disturbance!"

Qin Ming looked at Hong Yun, a strange expression appearing on his face.

This Hongyun is a kind-hearted person from the primordial world, and his own talent is not bad either.

At least, among the three thousand guests in Zixiao Palace in the future, Hongyun will be among the top.

It's a pity that this person was too deeply involved with the human race. After his death, half of his remnant soul was reincarnated as Yun Zhongzi of the Chan Sect, and the other half was reincarnated as Shennong, the Yan Emperor of the human race.

Should he make a move?

After all, he possesses a training system, and the more disciples he takes in, the more benefits he will receive in the future.

This Hongyun has good talent in both character and ability, but he's just a bit unlucky.

If he were to intervene, he could completely change Hongyun's original fate.

"So it's Senior Jingshi! This junior, Hongyun, greets Senior Jingshi!"

Upon hearing Qin Ming's Daoist name, Hongyun immediately bowed respectfully.

"Oh? You know me?"

Qin Ming was taken aback upon hearing this and asked curiously.

"Of course, senior, you fought ferocious beasts, eliminated divine rebellion, protected the continent, and created the Spirit Wine. Although I have not yet taken human form, I am aware of your great achievements!"

Hongyun said respectfully.

"I see. Alright, since I mistakenly entered your cave, I must offer you some compensation!"

"This is a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Glazed Heart Lamp, which possesses the power to temper the mind and accelerate cultivation. Consider this my compensation to you!"

Although he intended to take Hongyun as his disciple.

But Hongyun is different from Bodhi. If Hongyun wants to escape the calamity of being killed in the future, he needs to give up this cave.

However, he wouldn't easily give up such a top-tier cave if he were unaware of it.

The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, so at this moment he can only retreat as a means of advancement.

Judging from Hongyun's previous high regard for him, she probably also intended to become his apprentice.

In this way, he could use this as an excuse to leave the final decision to Hongyun.
