Honghuang Town Yuanzi.

Chapter 61 Peony Fairy

Inside the palace, after the discussion concluded, Zhen Yuanzi and the Three Pure Ones withdrew their primordial spirits and three flowers.

"Fellow Daoist's Undying Chaos Body is simply inconceivable, and I admire it greatly," said Daoist Shangqing to Zhen Yuanzi.

Although Zhen Yuanzi had already explained the mysteries of the Chaos Imperishable Body before the group began their exposition and discussion, which can be said to have created a new cultivation system.

However, after the exposition of the Dao, Shangqing Daoist discovered that Zhen Yuanzi's Chaos Imperishable Body was not simply about creating a new cultivation system, but could even be considered on par with the Great Dao of Primordial Spirit.

If it can be perfected, it might be called the Great Dao of the Physical Body.

Unfortunately, just as Zhen Yuanzi said, this Chaos Undying Body is not suitable for ordinary living beings to cultivate.

Upon hearing Shangqing Daoist's praise, Zhen Yuanzi laughed and said, "The divine light emanating from the three fellow Daoists is indeed astonishing and truly an eye-opener."

The Taiqing Immortal Light, Yuqing Immortal Light, and Shangqing Immortal Light created by the Three Pure Ones may seem to be the accompanying divine lights of innate gods and demons, but in reality they are completely different.

The divine light accompanying innate gods and demons is nothing more than a product of innate laws such as Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, or the elements of earth, wind, water, and fire. This is also the case with Zhen Yuanzi's innate Yin and Yang divine light.

However, the immortal light of the Three Pure Ones is not like that. It is the manifestation of the Taoist cultivation and supernatural powers of the Taiqing Taoist, Yuqing Taoist, and Shangqing Taoist. It can also be regarded as the general outline of the Taoist scriptures, containing all kinds of supernatural powers and wonderful methods that they have comprehended. It can be said to be all-encompassing.

Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi's praise, Taiqing Daoist chuckled and said, "The three of us are merely inheriting the legacy of our predecessors; we are no match for you, fellow Daoist."

The Three Pure Ones are the manifestations of the primordial spirit of the Great God Pangu, possessing the primordial spirit inheritance of the Great God Pangu, combined with the Dao of the Three Flowers of the Primordial Spirit.

The Taiqing Immortal Light, Yuqing Immortal Light, and Shangqing Immortal Light that were created were inherited from the great god Pangu.

In the eyes of the Three Pure Ones, Zhen Yuanzi created the Chaos Imperishable Body on his own.

Zhen Yuanzi simply smiled and remained silent in response, for he himself was no different.

If he hadn't known about the existence of the method of proving the Dao through force, how could he have combined the cultivation method of the great shaman of the Wu tribe with the legacy of Pangu to forge the indestructible body of chaos?

It can be said that Zhen Yuanzi, like the Three Pure Ones, inherited the legacy of the great god Pangu.

However, one is the physical body, and the other is the primordial spirit.

For a while, the four of them talked about everything from their respective cultivation levels and supernatural abilities to the primordial spirit dharma forms and the Zhou Tian Star Array of the demon race, and then to the method of primordial spirit relics and various ancient secrets. They talked about everything without reservation.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye before Zhen Yuanzi and the Three Pure Ones bid each other farewell and prepared to leave Qingqiu Mountain.

Standing outside the Taiyin Illusionary Moon Formation, Zhen Yuanzi and the Three Pure Ones bowed and took their leave, saying, "Fellow Daoists, if you have time in the future, you might as well visit Longevity Mountain. We can then enjoy the ginseng fruit together again."

More than 10,000 years have passed since the last ginseng fruit banquet, and the fruits on the ginseng fruit trees are now ripe.

"Fellow Daoist, we will definitely bring our disciples to visit Wanshou Mountain when we have time, and taste the ginseng fruit together again." Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi mention the ginseng fruit, Shangqing Daoist's heart stirred. He thought that he and his senior brother's disciples could take this opportunity to take advantage of Zhen Yuanzi.

He knew that Zhen Yuanzi was wealthy and possessed countless spiritual roots and immortal herbs in the mountains.

Master Yuqing's eyes lit up as well, and he thought of several of his disciples as well.

"Haha, then this humble Taoist will wait in the temple for the three fellow Taoists to arrive with their disciples," Zhen Yuanzi said with a loud laugh.

Then, the three Qings bowed to Zhen Yuanzi and each rode away on auspicious clouds.

Zhen Yuanzi then summoned Yun Zhongzi and the Nine-Headed Beast, and conjured a cloud of light that flew into the void, heading towards Longevity Mountain.

However, as soon as Zhen Yuanzi returned to the Wanshou Mountain area with Yun Zhongzi and the Nine-Headed Beast, they saw dark clouds covering the sky above the depths of Wanshou Mountain, thunder rumbling, countless silver snake-like lightning flashes, and bolts of lightning as thick as a child's arm occasionally emerging from the clouds.

"This is a tribulation of transformation!" Zhen Yuanzi was slightly surprised as he looked at the scene in the distance at Longevity Mountain.

"Could it be that the spiritual roots and immortal herbs in the mountains are about to take human form?"

Just then, Qingfeng and Mingyue rushed over, shouting, "Master, Master, something terrible has happened! A white peony in our mountain has attracted a tribulation of transformation lightning!"

White peony!

"Alright, no need to shout." Zhen Yuanzi suddenly remembered the ancient white peony he had picked when he went to Kunlun Mountain last time.

This white peony was planted in Longevity Hill by Qingfeng and Mingyue, and is watered from time to time with spiritual spring water.

Over time, this white peony actually developed a trace of intelligence and gradually began to cultivate, until today it attracted the tribulation of transformation.

At this moment, the lightning tribulation above the void continued to fall, each bolt of lightning carrying supreme divine power, causing her divine sense to tremble and her flower-like body to sway from side to side.

Suddenly, a bolt of purple lightning struck down upon her, easily piercing through her protective aura and scorching the white peony's branches and leaves, making it seem as if it was about to dissipate and collapse.

Faced with the continuous falling lightning, the white peony not only did not retreat, but instead stretched out its branches and leaves to stubbornly meet the lightning.

However, with each bolt of lightning, the white peony trembled and grew weaker.

This is the Transformation Tribulation, a test from heaven and earth for beings that have undergone transformation. Those who pass it can transform and forge a Dao body; those who fail will only have their souls scattered.

Just as the white peony was about to perish under the lightning tribulation and turn into charred remains, an innate wood element descended, and the white peony's body gradually recovered. The injuries caused by the heavenly lightning were like snow meeting spring sunshine, and it was completely healed. Furthermore, with the help of the profound mysteries of the innate wood element, it began to form a Dao body.

"Disperse!" At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi arrived at Wanshou Mountain, waved his sleeve at the lightning tribulation, and unleashed a beam of light. In an instant, the dark clouds above the void vanished completely.

The next moment, countless innate spiritual energies in Longevity Mountain converged on the white peony, like a golden radiance, enveloping the white peony as if to tear the flower apart and create a new body.

Before long, the innate spiritual energy gradually disappeared, revealing a woman of extremely beautiful appearance, slender figure, and elegant temperament.

"What a beautiful flower fairy!" Qingfeng Mingyue couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Indeed, she is exceptionally beautiful." Yun Zhongzi also took a few more glances at her, even comparing her to the Heavenly Empress Xihe, feeling that each had her own merits.

The woman wore a purple gauze dress, with a peony flower in her hair. Her long hair cascaded down her back. Her purple dress was like a flower, and her skin was as white as snow. She was indescribably beautiful, elegant, noble, and otherworldly. The natural rosy spot on her smooth forehead made her even more stunning, as if she were a fairy descended from the heavens to the mortal world.

After getting used to her body a little, the woman walked slowly with graceful steps, her figure elegant and her lotus-like steps light and gentle.

Although she wore no adornment or decorations, only a plain purple dress, it did not diminish her stunning beauty.

In addition, she seemed to have a faint, pleasant fragrance emanating from her, which was refreshing and delightful, almost intoxicating.

The woman walked up to Zhen Yuanzi, knelt down, and said in a gentle and elegant voice, "This disciple greets the True Man. I thank you for helping me pass through the Transformation Tribulation."

"You are the transformed form of a white peony from my mountain, which can be considered a connection with me. Why don't you stay in my temple and observe the various spiritual roots and immortal herbs and the daily affairs?" Zhen Yuanzi looked her over and found her quite satisfactory.

Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, Qingfeng and Mingyue's eyes lit up. They couldn't wait for the girl to agree so that things would be much easier for them in the future.

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately kowtowed and whispered, "This disciple is willing!"

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi lifted her up with a flick of his sleeve and said, "Since you are willing to enter my humble temple, how about I give you a name?"

"Please bestow a name upon me, Master!" The woman bowed again.

Zhen Yuanzi nodded and said to the woman, "Your true form is a white peony, so how about we call you Peony Fairy?"

Peony Fairy!

Upon hearing the name given by Zhen Yuanzi, the Peony Fairy bowed gracefully and said, "Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Master. From now on, I will be called Peony!"

"Alright, you should first familiarize yourself with the various spiritual roots and immortal herbs in the temple with Qingfeng and Mingyue, so that you can manage them on your own in the future." Zhen Yuanzi nodded in satisfaction.

This peony fairy is a plant that has attained enlightenment, making her most suitable for tending to spiritual roots and immortal herbs.

"In addition, you two should pick a third-grade white jade lotus for Mudan to protect her," Zhen Yuanzi said to Qingfeng and Mingyue.

"We will obey Your Majesty's decree!" Qingfeng Mingyue bowed and said.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Master!" The Peony Fairy bowed slightly in return.

Qingfeng and Mingyue happily led the Peony Fairy towards Wuzhuang Temple, introducing the various spiritual roots and immortal herbs in the mountains along the way.

"This is a ten-thousand-year-old Vermilion Fruit. It only needs to be watered with spiritual spring water once in a while. It doesn't need much care."

"This fire jujube is an innate spiritual root, which was planted not long ago and needs to be watered with the Chaos Spiritual Spring once a day."

"There is no place in our mountains where innate fire elemental energy gathers, so we can only irrigate it with the water of the Chaos Spiritual Spring in order to plant this innate spiritual root, the Fire Jujube."

When they reached the Innate Fire Date, Qingfeng and Mingyue gave her detailed instructions several times, fearing that Fairy Peony might misremember and damage the Fire Date in the future.

In addition, the two introduced several spiritual springs and the Chaos Spiritual Spring in Longevity Mountain. Different spiritual roots and immortal herbs require different spiritual spring water for irrigation, which is very particular.

"Oh right, the Chaos Spirit Spring is just ahead."

The three of them walked up to the Chaos Spirit Spring.

This spring appears ordinary and unremarkable, only a few feet in size, emanating a hazy gray aura, yet it exudes an unparalleled pressure, and spiritual light appears and disappears within it.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"This is where the master secluded himself. Apart from occasionally coming here to collect water from the Chaos Spirit Spring, no one is allowed to disturb him on ordinary days."

"As for the innate twelfth-grade black lotus and the two ninth-grade black lotuses in the spiritual spring, they do not need to be tended to."

"Innate spiritual objects!" Peony Fairy exclaimed as she looked at the lotus flowers in the Chaos Spiritual Spring, a hint of shock flashing in her beautiful eyes.

On the way here, Qingfeng and Mingyue have already explained the preciousness of innate spiritual roots and innate spiritual objects.

Seeing the look of shock on the Peony Fairy's beautiful face, Qingfeng blinked and reminded her, "Take a few steps back, and I'll help you collect a Grade 3 White Jade Lotus."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qingfeng!" Peony Fairy said softly, then took a few steps to the side.

"Collect!" Qingfeng formed a Dao seal with both hands and sent out a beam of light towards the Chaos Spirit Spring. The light transformed into a gentle breeze, which swept up a third-grade white jade lotus flower and floated out of the Chaos Spirit Spring.

These three white jade lotus flowers, once emerging from the Chaos Spirit Spring, immediately emitted a shimmering white light, appearing extremely beautiful.

Qingfeng summoned the third-grade white jade lotus into his hand, then handed it to the Peony Fairy, saying, "This third-grade white jade lotus was cultivated by the master using the seeds of the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus of the Innate Realm. Although its grade is not high, it is still within the Innate Realm and can be considered a good protective item."

Zhen Yuanzi cultivated one sixth-grade white jade lotus and three third-grade white jade lotuses. The sixth-grade white jade lotus has already been given to Yun Zhongzi, leaving only the three third-grade white jade lotuses.

The Peony Fairy reached out and took the three-tiered white jade lotus, storing it within her primordial spirit. She pondered the profound mystery of the three-tiered white jade lotus, secretly marveling at it.

Next, Qingfeng and Mingyue led the Peony Fairy to the orchard and introduced the ginseng fruit tree.

In just a few short days, the Peony Fairy began to tend to the various spiritual roots and herbs, which made things much easier for Qingfeng and Mingyue.

Her true form was a white peony, and she was born with an understanding of the habits of plants. She quickly managed all the spiritual roots and immortal herbs in an orderly manner.

After returning to Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, Zhen Yuanzi spent his days meditating and practicing Qi cultivation, wandering in the vast emptiness, and tempering his physical body. He ignored external affairs and, in his spare time, summoned Yun Zhongzi, Qingfeng Mingyue, and others to explain Taoist magic and supernatural powers.

Furthermore, since Di Jun and Tai Yi conquered Qingqiu Mountain, the prehistoric land has become much calmer. The demon race's heavenly court is focused on refining the Zhou Tian Star Array and is living in peace with the witch race.

On this day, deep in the southern part of the prehistoric world, a beam of spiritual light suddenly shot out, spreading for tens of thousands of miles, seemingly a sign of the birth of a spiritual being, yet there was also a subtle difference.

Wanshou Mountain is located on the southern edge of the prehistoric world. Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but feel a faint sense of déjà vu. He felt a flash of spiritual light and sensed the birth of a primordial spiritual object or treasure. However, he didn't know what it was. The secrets of heaven were in complete chaos.

Since a primordial spirit has been born, Zhen Yuanzi should go and make a trip there.

Before long, a beam of light in two colors, yin and yang, flew out from Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, heading towards the southern part of the prehistoric world, guided by some unseen connection.

Along the way, divine might was evident. Many living beings and cultivators who saw it felt an unnamed pressure coming from it, which frightened them.

Several days later, Zhen Yuanzi arrived at a place where he saw towering mountains all around, and deep within, a place was shrouded in a white mist.

Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi descended on auspicious clouds, stepped through the mist, and suddenly a very strange valley appeared before him. The valley was filled with flowing water, birdsong, and fragrant flowers. The rich innate spiritual energy was almost liquefied, like a misty haze.

Among them, mythical beasts roam and play, peonies, peonies, lingzhi and exotic herbs bloom in competition, the air is filled with the fragrance of immortals, waterfalls splash, streams murmur, monkeys cry and tigers roar, lions howl and wolves howl, rainbows form bridges, immortal birds flutter on them, purple clouds connect, strange peaks rise abruptly, and strange rocks are rugged, just like the morning sun drinking the morning dew.

It turned out to be a place where the earth's veins converged, and it seemed to contain a trace of the mysterious wonders of nature.

It is truly a place of wondrous natural wonder.

What amazed Zhen Yuanzi the most was that deep in the valley, a huge tree rose from the ground, full of vitality, with a huge canopy and small, slender leaves that exuded wisps of creation energy, as if performing the wonders of nature.

"Huh!" Zhen Yuanzi looked at the large tree not far away and couldn't help but exclaim softly, "It's actually an acquired spiritual root!"

"However, this acquired spiritual root actually contains the Great Dao of Creation!"

The Great Dao of Creation is extremely mysterious and precious, almost comparable to the Great Dao of Space.

In her previous life, Nuwa used the profound mysteries of the Great Dao of Creation to create humans from clay, thus achieving sainthood.

In addition, there is the Qiankun Cauldron, which can reverse one's innate nature and also contains the Great Dao of Creation.

This demonstrates the extraordinary nature of the Great Dao of Creation.

The more Zhen Yuanzi examined it, the more he realized that this acquired spiritual root was extraordinary. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "It can truly be called the Enlightenment Tea Tree!"

This Enlightenment Tea Tree bears a slight resemblance to the Star Fruit Tree of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court. Neither of them is of the Innate Rank, yet they are comparable to Innate Spiritual Roots.

This Enlightenment Tea Tree is the first tea tree in the primordial world, born from a trace of the Great Dao of Creation.

However, this Enlightenment Tea Tree cannot flower or bear fruit, and therefore cannot enhance the cultivator's spiritual practice.

Its preciousness lies in the leaves, which contain a trace of the Great Dao of Creation, helping cultivators to comprehend the laws of the Great Dao. Even Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation and supernatural powers have some effect on it.

Zhen Yuanzi picked a few tea leaves, then took out a table with a stove carved from innate white jade on it. He put the tea leaves and spiritual water into the stove and slowly cooked them with his primordial spirit fire.

This water is from the spiritual spring in Longevity Mountain, containing rich innate spiritual energy, making it perfect for brewing tea. As for the Primordial Spirit True Fire, it is derived from the cultivator's primordial spirit power, which is balanced and peaceful, far less domineering than the Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire.

After a short while, a wisp of steam began to rise from the stove, followed by the enticing aroma of tea.

At this moment, the spiritual spring water in the furnace had turned emerald green.

Zhen Yuanzi reached out and picked up the stove, poured the emerald green tea into a white jade cup, picked it up and took a sip. He felt a surge of heat flow into his lungs and then spread throughout his body, which felt very comfortable. The bittersweet taste in his mouth was also unforgettable.

The next moment, Zhen Yuanzi felt his primordial spirit become clear, and a profound and mysterious feeling arose, as if he had entered a state of enlightenment.

After a long while, Zhen Yuanzi finally put down the white jade cup in his hand and exclaimed in admiration, "Truly wonderful!"

"However, there is a slight drawback." Zhen Yuanzi's face showed a hint of regret.

Although the water of this spiritual spring contains innate spiritual energy, it is too ordinary, which makes it somewhat lacking.

He possesses some innate Ren water, which not only conforms to the innate number but is also the essence of all waters, far surpassing the water of the spiritual spring.

Unfortunately, this innate Ren water is extremely precious. It was obtained by exchanging a lotus seed of a 12th-grade innate Pure World White Lotus with the Queen Mother of the West. It was used to cultivate the seeds of the 12th-grade innate Pure World White Lotus. Even Zhen Yuanzi was reluctant to use it to make tea.
