Primordial Era: Elixir of Qi Transforms into Form, Controlling the Pharmacology of the World

"Actually, I had no choice. My fate involved three marriages related to Heaven, Earth, and Man. Speaking of which, it was my sister's top-grade spiritual treasure, the Red Embroidered Ball. This treasure was a gift from my master. It may seem to be only of the highest quality, but it carries a kind of destiny."

Within the red embroidered ball lies the Great Dao of Marriage. This Dao can guide predestined marriages throughout the primordial world, making it an object of karmic affinity for all beings. However, for the red embroidered ball to become an object of karmic affinity for all beings, it must undergo the evolution of the Three Marriages of Heaven, Earth, and Man. After the Three Marriages have evolved, the red embroidered ball, through its assistance in the advancement of karmic affinity among beings, will become a supreme innate treasure.

Although this evolutionary process is slow, it ultimately involves a stroke of luck. Besides, my sister will also receive the primordial destiny's fortune, allowing her cultivation to advance further. Therefore, given this opportunity, my sister must seize it. Little Lingdan, please help your sister!

Nuwa didn't hide anything and told Ling Dan.

In fact, most of the innate spiritual treasures of the primordial world were formed from fragments of powerful artifacts of the Chaos Gods. As long as one finds the treasures evolved from the fragments of each other and merges them, the quality of the spiritual treasure can be improved.

However, in the primordial world, there is a very special spiritual treasure that can quickly become a spiritual treasure without relying on devouring other fragments.

These kinds of spiritual treasures are formed from the core of chaotic spiritual treasures. Moreover, this core has not been damaged too much.

These kinds of core evolution treasures retain some of their original characteristics to varying degrees. Relying on these characteristics, they can improve themselves, or rather, recover.

The "Red Embroidered Ball" is the core of the great artifact of the God of Marriage. After its evolution, it can gradually improve its quality, or rather, restore its former quality, simply by relying on the Great Dao of Marriage.

"So that's how it is... In the vast expanse of emotions, there exists such a special spiritual treasure." Ling Dan was also quite moved, never expecting that there would be such a type among innate spiritual treasures.

Nuwa nodded and continued, "Speaking of which, among the treasures Master Hongjun gave me, each one is very special, and each one contains great opportunities. The Qiankun Cauldron goes without saying; it can reverse the innate, turning acquired things into innate things. Secondly, it contains great opportunities, capable of creating races."

The red embroidered ball is the same; it allows me to obtain the primordial fortune of marriage and improve the quality of marriages through the connections of all living beings. The "Map of Mountains and Rivers" also contains a great opportunity. However, this opportunity is not so easy to find.” Nuwa did not hide anything and said slowly.

Ling Dan was deeply shocked and didn't know what to say.

The treasures bestowed upon Nuwa by her ancestor are all extraordinary. The Qiankun Cauldron is related to the creation of humanity and the future mending of the heavens. The Red Embroidered Ball is related to prehistoric marriages, enabling evolution through these unions. The Mountain and River Map also involves a fortuitous opportunity.

Good heavens, Nuwa, this direct disciple of the Xuanmen sect, has also reaped enormous rewards.

Many Zixiao guests probably think that Nuwa's harvest is far less than that of Laozi and the others, but who knows that Nuwa's true harvest requires time to accumulate.

After a long time, Ling Dan also digested the many shocking news.

Now, Ling Dan was still conflicted: "Sister Nuwa... it's not impossible for you to ask me to help you perfect the Earthly Marriage. But does it have to be Sister Houtu? Can't it be someone from another race?"

"It can't be changed. The Three Marriages of Heaven, Earth, and Man cannot be accomplished by just any race. Only a race that can represent the three elements of Heaven, Earth, and Man can perfect the Three Marriages of Heaven, Earth, and Man. The demon race, which occupies the sky, is definitely a great race in the primordial world. Especially with the special nature of Di Jun and Xi He, it is not incongruous for them to represent the Heavenly race."

Nuwa slowly said, "In the primordial land, there are countless races, but only the Wu race can truly represent the Earth race. After all, among all the races in the primordial land, no single race can compare to the Wu race. Therefore, the Wu race is the strongest race in the primordial land. Moreover, the Wu race evolved from the essence and blood of the Great God Pangu, and the Great God Pangu's physical body evolved the earth, so the Wu race is the Earth race of the primordial land."

"If we're talking about the human race, it will undoubtedly be the human race I created. While the human race may seem weak, their sheer numbers make them an anomaly. Furthermore, their inclusiveness and prolific reproduction have captivated all the races of the primordial world. Ultimately, this led to the human race multiplying among other races, yet also embracing them. Therefore, the human race can represent the entire human race."

Therefore, the three marriages of Heaven, Earth, and Man must be completed by the three clans... Based on the order of precedence, the Heavenly marriage has been completed, and the Earthly marriage must be completed before the Human marriage can evolve.” Nuwa said again.

Ling Dan was at a loss: "Three marriages—Heaven, Earth, and Man—it's so complicated!"

"It's not complicated. How can we perfect the prehistoric marriages? To be honest, if it were the era of dragons, phoenixes, and qilin, finding the phoenix clan to perfect a celestial marriage, finding the qilin clan to perfect an terrestrial marriage, and finding the dragon clan to perfect a human marriage would be very simple. But given the current situation in the prehistoric world, even I, sister, am at a loss." Nuwa also seemed to have a headache.

Ling Dan understands now.

I know what the three races of Heaven, Earth, and Man represent. But it's precisely because I know that I still feel a headache coming on.

Ling Dan was conflicted, looking at the Queen Mother with mixed feelings.

After all these years, all the powerful beings in the primordial world have known about the relationship between Ling Dan and the Queen Mother. But now, Ling Dan is not married to the Queen Mother, but instead is going to marry Houtu. It's just too strange to think about.

Apart from that, Ling Dan truly had no such intentions towards Hou Tu.

Looking at Houtu now, Houtu seemed very calm, gazing at Ling Dan without any shyness, as if she could do whatever she wanted with this matter.

Ling Dan averted her gaze, her mind a jumble of emotions, and fell into a long silence.

Nuwa said earnestly, "Little Lingdan... this matter has many benefits. We won't discuss what you will gain after marrying Houtu for now. After I obtain the marriage bond with Houtu, I will give you the 'Map of Mountains and Rivers' so that you can find the opportunities within."

"The Map of Mountains and Rivers?" Ling Dan was both curious and puzzled.

"Indeed... Regarding the opportunity of the Red Embroidered Ball, we solemnly recommend this book to you: 'Primordial Era: Transforming Qi into Form, Mastering the Pharmacology of the World,' which you can read here. I have already obtained it. As for the opportunity of the 'Map of Mountains and Rivers,' I will give it to you as a reward for your help in perfecting the Earthly Marriage." Nuwa suddenly said.

"Forget about any reward. Sister Nuwa has helped me so much over the years, so it's nothing for me to help her in return." Ling Dan shook her head instantly.

Opportunities abound in the primordial world. Ling Dan has no need to participate in the opportunities bestowed upon Nuwa by her own grandmaster.

Nuwa teased Ling Dan with a smile, "Little Ling Dan... you're quite thoughtful, but it would be a waste not to give you this opportunity. You must know, in the primordial world, too much of anything is bad. I first obtained an opportunity from the Qiankun Cauldron, and then another opportunity from perfecting the Red Embroidered Ball. With so many opportunities, my fortune is struggling to keep up. Continuing to search for opportunities like this, not to mention whether it will help me much, will also gradually make me confused by external things."

Ling Dan could understand what Nuwa meant.

A saying circulated among the primordial beings: One's fortune determines the opportunities one receives. Opportunities exceeding one's own fortune bring calamity. To overcome calamity, one must rely on strength. Insufficient strength leads to demise.

Therefore, when one's fortune is abundant, opportunities will come one after another, but one will not seize them indiscriminately. This is to avoid depleting one's fortune, as excess is as bad as deficiency.

Ling Dan pondered for a moment, but didn't mention the matter of the opportunity. Instead, she looked at Houtu and asked, "Sister Houtu, about this matter..."

Houtu gazed at Ling Dan, pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Although I still feel a bit uneasy thinking about this, I will bear the necessary sacrifices when it comes to matters of the race."

"For the sake of the Witch Clan?" Ling Dan couldn't help but murmur.

In the primordial era, the concept of clan was deeply ingrained. A clan meant family. Therefore, every race was tolerant of its members, and every member took pride in their clan.

Even among special races like the demon race, which are a convergence of countless other races, many members are proud to be demons.

The same applies to the witch clan.

It's quite normal for Houtu to make some sacrifices for the sake of the Wu tribe.

Ling Dan knew all this, but a hint of hesitation still appeared in her eyes.

Houtu pondered, "Sacrificing for the sake of the race is understandable. Besides, my sister doesn't reject Ling Dan at all. At most, she feels a little awkward and uncomfortable that a child has suddenly become her Daoist partner."

Ling Dan agreed: "Yes, it feels so out of place."

Nuwa then said, "Ultimately, this matter depends on yourselves. However, my red embroidered ball for marriage, and the primordial destiny of marriage, will ultimately require your earthly marriage."

Ling Dan understood Nuwa's meaning, but she was still conflicted, and looked at the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother Sister..."

The Queen Mother remained calm: "I came along because I had already guessed this. Don't worry, my sister neither opposes nor supports this matter; we'll let nature take its course."

The Queen Mother, however, remained calm and looked at Ling Dan with tenderness. It was as if her own Daoist partner's infidelity was no big deal.

Ling Dan felt somewhat awkward, as if she had been caught.

"Alright, this matter is not something that can be figured out in a short time. You should first tour my Nuwa Palace and then decide..." Nuwa said earnestly.

Ling Dan nodded, preparing to think it over carefully. After all, this was all too sudden.

On the contrary, Houtu and the Queen Mother seemed to have guessed this long ago and were already prepared.

What could Ling Dan say? She could only remain silent.

……

In the blink of an eye, countless years have passed.

While inside the Nuwa Palace, Ling Dan felt very conflicted and torn.

After all, the relationship between Nuwa's prophecy of earthly marriage and the red embroidered ball is truly difficult to resolve.

For many time travelers, marrying Houtu would definitely be a cause for celebration.

Ke Lingdan has been traveling through the prehistoric world for so many years and is very familiar with Houtu. Having been Houtu's little brother for so long, it's a bit awkward for them to suddenly become husband and wife.

Besides, the marriage between the earth and the land signifies a qualitative change in the relationship between Ling Dan and Hou Tu. At that time, Ling Dan will inevitably become involved in the affairs of the Witch Clan.

Ling Dan was in a state of inner turmoil.

This isn't being pretentious, nor is it acting innocent after getting a good deal. It's just that I'm a little unaccustomed to it.

Houtu was the same; she gradually settled into a routine after her initial discomfort. After all, Houtu was willing to make sacrifices for the Wu tribe.

Ling Dan now resides in the Nuwa Palace, feeling the boiling battle intent within the long river.

Speaking of which, ever since the Demon Court Banquet, the spread of the "Origin Scripture" (which enhances the aptitude of races), the "Eight Trigrams Scripture" (which enlightens all beings), and demonic script... etc., has caused a qualitative change in the prehistoric world.

The lower-level cultivators in the primordial world have no inheritance or cultivation methods, so no matter how strong their aptitude is, it is difficult to convert it into cultivation level.

Over the years, the spread of the *Huangting Jing* has cleansed and refined countless beings. The spread of the demonic script has granted them the right to read knowledge. The spread of the *Bagua Jing* has opened their wisdom, allowing them to seek the Dao from the demonic script and from the primordial world.

Ultimately, many powerful figures rose from the bottom of the primordial world.

After all, the lower classes are numerous, having accumulated over countless years and endured countless years of oppression. Now that they finally see a glimmer of hope for a rise, they naturally want to challenge the established order.

As a result, a war that would sweep across the entire prehistoric world was about to erupt.
