Transmigrating to a chat group: After heeding advice, I became the ruler of the primordial world.

Chapter 116: Lu Yun's wealth skyrockets after he fools two Quasi-Saints!

After handing over complete control of the Mountain and River Map to Lu Yun, Nuwa returned to where Fuxi was.

Then, she quickly discovered that Lu Yun was heading towards the River Styx.

She was initially curious about what Lu Yun planned to say to Styx, but she never expected that Lu Yun would use the Mountain and River Map to prevent others from probing her.

In this way, Di Jun and the others could not know what Styx said to him, but Nuwa could not know either.

Although she could have forcibly investigated if she wanted to, she ultimately didn't, lest Lu Yun misunderstand and harbor resentment.

Anyway, she felt that Lu Yun was just fooling Styx and the others.

In contrast, she was more focused on adjusting her condition at this time, and still needed to be ready for any possible battles at any time.

So Nuwa sat down cross-legged not far from Fuxi and continued to adjust herself.

……

On the other side, atop a majestic mountain, Lu Yun saw the River Styx.

Styx clearly hadn't expected that Lu Yun would dare to come to see him alone.

Unexpectedly, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but grasp the two peerless killing weapons, Abi and Yuantu!

Clearly, he was considering whether or not to directly seize the Primordial Purple Qi from Lu Yun.

Seeing this, Lu Yun remained unfazed, instead offering a gentle smile and uttering a voice as melodious as heavenly music: "Fellow Daoist Styx, I heard you've already made your decision?"

A hint of suspicion flashed in Styx's eyes.

What's going on? This human isn't worried about him taking action?

and many more!

Styx suddenly realized that Lu Yun's cultivation level had actually reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!

It's only been a few days?

Keep in mind that this human race had only just survived the Golden Immortal Tribulation!

Such a rapid pace of progress is simply unbelievable!

While filled with doubt and uncertainty, he dared not act rashly, but said in a deep voice, "Yes, if you give me the Primordial Purple Qi, I will give you all the cultivation resources I possess, as well as the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus!"

He had naturally made plans in his mind. Even if he lost the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, he still had the Yuan Tu Divine Sword and the Avici Hell as his two great divine weapons to protect him. In the prehistoric world, apart from saints, there were very few who could defeat him!

Even more so, if he could use the Primordial Purple Qi to embark on the path to sainthood, then finding other spiritual treasures in the world, or even directly taking back the Karmic Fire Red Lotus from Lu Yun, would be a piece of cake.

Lu Yun frowned slightly and said, "Why is what you said different from what Goddess Nuwa told me?"

Styx's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "I still have some spiritual roots and precious materials that I didn't keep on me, but placed in the Netherworld Blood Sea. If you need them, I can retrieve them right now!"

Lu Yun waved his hand and said, "Then there's no need! I still trust you, fellow Daoist. You can just send it over later!"

He said this not because he truly trusted Styx, but because he didn't want Styx to rush out and attract the attention of outsiders, which would be detrimental to his plans.

As for the other spiritual roots and precious materials mentioned by Styx, I can always go to the Netherworld Blood Sea to obtain them myself when I am stronger!

Minghe was somewhat displeased that Lu Yun always addressed him as "fellow Daoist".

Because he and Nuwa were of the same generation, how dare Lu Yun, such a lowly junior, address him as an equal?

That's utterly arrogant and ignorant!

However, considering that he still needed to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi from the other party, he could only endure it.

He even forced an awkward smile and said, "Thank you for your trust, fellow Daoist! Shall we proceed with the transaction?"

Lu Yun laughed loudly, "Great!"

After saying that, he took out a wisp of fake Primordial Purple Qi that he had created earlier.

While making this move, he was also secretly on guard, having already mobilized the power of the Mountain and River Map, ready to confront the Styx River at any time.

After all, the Heaven-Concealing Spirit Leaf is an item from another world, and he was unsure of its effectiveness in this primordial world, or whether the Styx River would notice the anomaly of this Primordial Purple Qi.

Even if Styx doesn't notice anything unusual, he might suddenly make a move and forcibly seize the Primordial Purple Qi!

With the help of the Mountain and River Map, he could hold off the Styx for a while. At that time, he would only need to call on Nuwa, and the Styx would be the one to suffer!

When Styx saw the Primordial Purple Qi that he had taken out, his heart was filled with overwhelming emotion, and his whole body felt as if it were being electrified.

Styx did indeed consider forcibly seizing this treasure.

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he keenly sensed a terrifying, oppressive aura descending, causing his expression to change slightly. Fang Xiangqi realized that he was still within the Mountain and River Map, and Nuwa was definitely watching this side.

If he does anything improper, he'll be the first to die!

Therefore, Styx hurriedly composed himself, took out the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, and, suppressing his heartache, dissolved the contract with Lingbao in front of Lu Yun.

Then, he took out many magical treasures and rare gems and presented them to Lu Yun.

Lu Yun was very satisfied with Styx's attitude, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

During the transaction, he solemnly warned, "Fellow Daoist Styx, if this matter leaks out, it will benefit neither of us. You should understand that, right?"

Lu Yun had to make sure the matter wasn't leaked.

If Zhen Yuanzi and Minghe later reveal the transaction to the world, he will be unable to explain the origins of so much Primordial Purple Qi to everyone.

Furthermore, his net worth will undoubtedly increase significantly after this incident!

Looking across the entire primordial world, which other Taiyi Golden Immortal could be as wealthy as him, possessing several top-grade innate spiritual treasures?

This matter must not be known to others, otherwise, the powerful beings in the prehistoric world, and even those saints, will probably no longer care about his Heavenly Dao merits and will directly attack him!

Styx felt grateful upon hearing Lu Yun's words.

He thought Lu Yun's reminder was out of concern for him, and quickly swore, "I am grateful for your righteous warning, fellow Daoist! I, Styx, swear to Heaven that no one else but Heaven, Earth, you, and I will know about this! Before I attain sainthood, I will not let any third party know!"

"That's good! I also wish you a speedy attainment of enlightenment and sainthood!"

Lu Yun accepted the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, along with many other spiritual treasures and rare gems. After bowing to the Styx River, he prepared to leave.

However, before he left, he paused slightly: "Fellow Daoist, why don't you try refining the Primordial Purple Qi inside the Mountain and River Map for now, and then go out?"

"That makes sense! Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist!"

Styx had no idea that Lu Yun was actually the true controller of the Mountain and River Map.

He still thought that the Map of Mountains and Rivers was still under Nuwa's control. He figured that since Nuwa had allowed Lu Yun to sell him the Primordial Purple Qi, she wouldn't do anything to harm him anymore.

However, the situation is not necessarily the same for those saints outside.

Therefore, he decisively sat down cross-legged and began to comprehend the "Primordial Purple Qi" he had just obtained.

Seeing this, Lu Yun nodded in satisfaction, and then he turned around and left quickly.

He wanted to take advantage of the Styx River refining the "Primordial Purple Qi" here to find other people and sell a few more copies!

……

In another corner of the landscape painting.

Zhen Yuanzi was sitting in a pavilion near a waterfall.

The surrounding scenery was quite elegant, but Zhen Yuanzi had no interest in appreciating it at all.

Because a long time had passed since Nuwa learned of his price from him, Nuwa should have known about everyone's offers long ago and should have made a decision by now.

Having not seen Nuwa return for a long time, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but worry: "Could it be that I offered too low a price, and the Primordial Purple Qi has already fallen into someone else's hands?"

If the Primordial Purple Qi fell into someone else's hands, that would be fine; he would just feel a little regretful.

But if the Primordial Purple Qi falls into the hands of Di Jun or Styx, he will be in trouble in the future!

Once Di Jun or Styx becomes a saint, no matter how unwilling he is, Pa will have to switch allegiance to a saint and seek their protection, otherwise he may be killed at any time!

"If Di Jun or Styx truly obtain the Primordial Purple Qi... I will spare no expense to kill them before they become saints!"

Such a thought arose in Zhen Yuanzi's mind, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

In his mind, if he were willing to pledge allegiance to Yuanshi Tianzun or Laozi, they should be more than happy to help him kill Dijun and the others.

After all, that way they could not only win over a Quasi-Saint, but also obtain Primordial Purple Qi!

However, if he did that, he would have to be subordinate to the sages and would find it difficult to interact with them as equals in the future.

Unless absolutely necessary, he would still prefer to personally kill his enemy.

Zhen Yuanzi sighed inwardly, "If I had quoted a higher price just now, perhaps..."

Just as Zhen Yuanzi was feeling conflicted, a voice entered his ears.

"Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan, if you truly have this intention, it's not too late now!"

Zhen Yuanzi turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

Because what he saw was Lu Yun walking towards him with a smile on his face!

Adding to what Lu Yun had just said, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly realized that perhaps he still had a chance! That's why he was so overjoyed.

However, he quickly regained his composure and tentatively asked, "What do you mean, young friend?"

Lu Yun sighed softly and said, "To be honest, the reason I kept you waiting for so long is because I was struggling with whether or not to sell the Primordial Purple Qi to the person who offered the highest price."

Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but ask, "Who offered the highest price?"

Lu Yun replied without hesitation, "Ancestor Styx."

Zhen Yuanzi's heart skipped a beat, and his expression turned grim. He asked nervously, "Why are you hesitating, young friend?"

Lu Yun sighed, "Without a doubt, I will get the most benefits by selling it to the highest bidder, but I have a bad feeling that the Primordial Purple Qi will fall into the hands of someone who walks the path of killing."

Zhen Yuanzi readily agreed, saying, "Young friend, you are absolutely right! The Primordial Purple Qi can fall into the hands of anyone, but it certainly cannot fall into the hands of the Styx! Hmm, and it can't fall into the hands of Di Jun and the other demons either, otherwise, if they become saints, wouldn't that bring disaster to the Witch Clan? I see that you, young friend, like me, have a good relationship with the Witch Clan, don't you think?"

These words were clearly an attempt to get closer to Lu Yun, implying that he was the most suitable person for the Primordial Purple Qi.

This made Lu Yun suddenly feel a little embarrassed to have tricked him.

However, the die is cast and cannot be cast.

Moreover, even if Zhen Yuanzi kept those things, even by the time of Journey to the West, he would only be a quasi-saint. It would be better to give them to him for now and help him become stronger!

Lu Yun could only secretly decide that once he became successful in the future, he would help Zhen Yuanzi and make it up to him!

So Lu Yun continued his deception, "Yes! That's why I came here specifically to find Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan, hoping to give you another chance to make an offer! As long as your price isn't too much less than that of the Styx or Dijun, I'll sell the Primordial Purple Qi to you!"

He stopped there, not revealing what price Styx and the others had offered, and let Zhen Yuanzi set the highest price himself.

Zhen Yuanzi naturally understood Lu Yun's intentions, but he had no other choice at the moment.

To prevent the Primordial Purple Qi from falling into the hands of his enemies, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Besides the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, I am willing to offer these spiritual treasures as well! In addition, I also offer all the ginseng fruits I have accumulated over the years!"

Seeing the dozen or so high-grade and mid-grade innate spiritual treasures that Zhen Yuanzi had taken out, as well as more than thirty ginseng fruits, Lu Yun couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

But he remained expressionless, even frowning slightly, as if he was somewhat dissatisfied.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi gritted his teeth and said, "There is still a batch of ginseng fruits on the ginseng fruit tree in my temple that are not yet ripe. I can give them to you all at once when they are ripe!"

Since he had already gone this far, Lu Yun didn't want to push his luck too much, so he simply said, "As you know, my cultivation time is still relatively short. I wonder if you could teach me some more supernatural abilities and techniques..."

"no problem!"

Before Lu Yun could finish speaking, Zhen Yuanzi readily agreed: "This humble Taoist can bestow upon you all the supernatural abilities and techniques I have created!"

A smile finally appeared on Lu Yun's face as he said, "I appreciate your sincerity, fellow Daoist! In that case, I will hand over the Primordial Purple Qi to Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan!"

After saying that, he took out another wisp of "Primordial Purple Qi".

Zhen Yuanzi was overjoyed and immediately took out the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd and a series of books, presenting them to Lu Yun.

These texts were records he had made in the past for his disciples to study. Now, he was eager to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi and had no interest in making copies of the texts. He simply gave the originals to Lu Yun.

As for his disciples wanting to learn it in the future, he will simply make a new record then!

However, before Lu Yun accepted these items, Zhen Yuanzi added, "Fellow Daoist, this Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd is a relic of my old friend Hongyun. I would like to request that you protect it well. After I become a saint, I will surely kill Di Jun and the others. At that time, I can exchange it for an equivalent spiritual treasure. I hope you will agree!"

"No problem!" Lu Yun readily agreed.

Thus, the two parties successfully completed the transaction. Lu Yun once again left Zhen Yuanzi in the Mountain and River Map, while he turned around and headed towards his next target!
