Primordial Era: Starting as a junior disciple of the Chan Sect to attain the Primordial Chaos.

Chapter 52 Hongyun's Gift of Treasure: Good Causes, Good Results

Below the cliff of Yuxu Palace.

He bowed to Jiang Chuan.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable nodded slightly.

Hongyun carefully examined Jiang Chuan.

The young man before them was dressed in a plain robe, with a gentle temperament and clear features, yet he also exuded a composure far beyond his years and level of experience.

He was clearly only at the late stage of the Golden Immortal realm.

Yet, even when facing a sage and two powerful beings from the primordial era, he remained neither humble nor arrogant.

He showed both the respect due to a junior and the complete lack of restraint or timidity.

This alone makes him far superior to ordinary Golden Immortals.

"Young friend."

Hongyun stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"I was able to escape death this time entirely thanks to your advice to the sage."

Hongyun will forever remember this kindness.

Jiang Chuan immediately dodged to the side.

"You flatter me, senior."

It was the great power of our master, the sage, that truly saved you, senior. I merely dared to say a few more words.

Hongyun shook her head.

"If it weren't for your words, young friend, the sage might not have gone to the Netherworld Blood Sea."

Therefore, my young friend deserves this favor.

Zhen Yuanzi also spoke up.

"Young friend Jiang Chuan, there's no need to decline."

For me, my old friend Hongyun is more important than anything else.

"If you save him, it will be the same as doing this great favor to me."

Hearing the two say this, Jiang Chuan was not elated.

He is very clear.

The reason I was able to receive gratitude from Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi this time was ultimately because of my master's intervention.

Without the great power of a sage to suppress everything.

No matter how beautifully he describes his plans, they are nothing but castles in the air.

So Jiang Chuan simply bowed again.

"I am speaking here because I feel that Senior Hongyun is a rare and blessed immortal in the primordial world."

The act of offering a seat at Zixiao Palace in the past, though it brought karmic consequences, also demonstrated the benevolent heart of the elder.

If the senior were to perish here, the primordial world would lose a great and virtuous being.

This may not be a good thing for Heaven and Earth, or for the Chan sect.

Furthermore, although the senior may face calamities, it is not necessarily the time when he will truly die and his cultivation will be extinguished.

If Master can save the senior, not only can he settle an old karmic debt, but he can also create a good connection for the Chan Sect.

That's why I dared to speak up.

His words were well-organized and watertight.

Hongyun was deeply moved upon hearing this.

Zhen Yuanzi secretly admired him even more.

A mere junior Golden Immortal could see through cause and effect, fortune, human relationships, and the interests of different sects so clearly.

Such insight is beyond even that of a Golden Immortal.

Even many Great Immortals might not be able to achieve this.

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Jiang Chuan, his eyes filled with even greater satisfaction.

"With such insight, it's no wonder the sage values you so highly, young friend."

Hongyun sighed.

He then flipped his hand and took out the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd.

The moment this treasure appeared, the surrounding world seemed to sink slightly.

The endless flow of red sand energy seemed capable of completely annihilating a person's spirit and soul as soon as the gourd's mouth was opened.

Jiang Chuan's gaze narrowed slightly.

Top-grade innate spiritual treasure!

In the primordial world, innate spiritual treasures were already precious.

Moreover, it is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Even a Quasi-Saint would be tempted by a treasure of this caliber.

Hongyun remained calm and pushed the treasure in front of Jiang Chuan.

"Young friend, this treasure is my personal spiritual artifact, named the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd."

Today, this humble Taoist priest bestows this treasure upon you, young friend, to express my gratitude for saving my life.

"Senior, this is far too precious."

Jiang Chuan's expression remained unchanged, but he did not immediately reach out.

Top-grade innate spiritual treasures are indeed desirable.

But the more precious the treasure, the deeper the karmic connections it involves.

If he were to accept it rashly, he would be acting rashly.

Seeing this, Hongyun's admiration deepened.

To be able to maintain such restraint even when facing a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

This kind of mindset is truly rare.

"No matter how precious this treasure is, it is not as important as my life."

Moreover, now that I have joined the Chan Sect, I will surely be protected by sages in the future.

On the contrary, young friend, your cultivation is still shallow, and you need a protective treasure to travel through the primordial world.

This treasure is more suited to be in your hands, young friend, than to remain in my possession.

Welcome to the fantastical world of Xianxia novels! The entrance is here:

"Since Fellow Daoist Hongyun is so kind, please accept it."

Jiang Chuan then solemnly accepted the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd.

"Thank you very much, Senior Hongyun, for bestowing this treasure."

Hongyun smiled.

"Young friend, you don't need to be so polite."

Without you, young friend, I might not even have been able to protect this magical treasure.

Now, gifting it to my young friend is a fitting end to the cycle of cause and effect, each thing returning to its rightful place.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi also took out three ginseng fruits.

As soon as these three ginseng fruits appeared, an extremely rich aura of innate Earth element spread out.

Its body was shaped like an infant, with all five senses, and its whole body was filled with spiritual light.

Jiang Chuan only needed to take a sniff to feel his mind clear and his magical power slightly active.

"This humble Taoist priest has nothing of value."

These three ginseng fruits were then given to the young friend.

Although this fruit is not a weaponous spiritual treasure, it can be quite useful for enhancing one's foundation and stabilizing one's cultivation.

Ginseng fruit is produced by the ginseng fruit tree, one of the ten innate spiritual roots of the primordial world.

Its value is also extraordinary.

Jiang Chuan accepted it solemnly.

"Thank you very much, Senior Zhen Yuanzi."

This moment.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

Previously, he had persuaded his master to save Hongyun, only hoping to establish a powerful ally for the Chan Sect, namely Zhen Yuanzi.

Unexpectedly, the good deeds have now been rewarded.

He not only gained the goodwill of Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi, but also directly received a top-grade innate spiritual treasure and three ginseng fruits.

This is the measure of the True Immortal of Fortune and Virtue.

Saving Hongyun was definitely worth it.

For the next few centuries.

Zhen Yuanzi did not leave immediately, but stayed temporarily in Kunlun.

He and Hongyun were close friends, so they naturally had a lot to talk about.

Of course, the most important thing is that Kunlun is a sacred place where sages practice, and living here, he can discuss the Dao with sages at any time.

The sage and the ancestor of earthly immortals discussed the Dao, and their discussions were extremely profound.

Whenever the sound of the Dao is heard, it attracts many disciples of the Chan Sect or creatures from Kunlun Mountain to listen.

Even if they can't understand 99% of the Dao sounds, it would be quite remarkable if they could comprehend even a trace of them.

Several hundred years later, Zhen Yuanzi finally took his leave.

Before leaving, he once again expressed his gratitude to Yuanshi Tianzun and Jiang Chuan.

It was also stated that the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain would always welcome disciples of the Chan Sect.

Whenever a disciple of the Chan Sect is in trouble, he will not stand idly by if he learns of it.

After these words spread, the fortune of the Chan Sect subtly increased.

Hongyun, on the other hand, officially stayed with the Chan Sect.

Yuanshi Tianzun publicly announced that Hongyun would be the second vice leader of the Chan Sect.

Its status is subtly above that of the lamp-burning lamp.

This incident occurred.

All the immortals of the Chan Sect were shaken.

The Old Man of the South Pole and the Twelve Golden Immortals were alright.

After all, Hongyun was a former guest of Zixiao Palace and a rare True Immortal of Fortune and Virtue in the Primordial World.

Even though his cultivation level has fallen to the Great Luo realm, his background and status remain extremely high.

His joining the Chan Sect would only benefit the Chan Sect.

Only when Ran Deng heard about this did a hint of displeasure flash deep in his eyes.

He was originally the only vice leader of the Chan Sect.

Now that Hongyun has arrived, not only has she taken away some of his power, but her status has also subtly surpassed his.

How could this convince Ran Deng?

However, this matter was personally decided by the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

Even if Ran Deng was dissatisfied, he dared not show it.

He could only suppress his thoughts and maintain a respectful demeanor.

Jiang Chuan watched all of this from a distance, but said nothing.

Randeng was not someone who could truly be of one mind with the Chan Sect.

Sowing seeds of resentment now may well become a hidden danger in the future.

However, at present, Master is stationed at Yuxu, Hongyun has joined the Chan Sect, and Zhenyuanzi has befriended Kunlun.

Even if Ran Deng had some ideas in his mind, he couldn't stir up any trouble.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan ignored the matter.

He has now advanced to the late stage of Golden Immortal.

The potential of his own inferior innate divine nature is almost exhausted.

So next, he needs to return to Guiwang Mountain and integrate the Crimson Feather Phoenix Tea Tree to improve his foundation.

At the same time, I need to refine the spiritual treasure in my hand again.

These are the key points right now.
