Chapter 117 The Five Innate Elemental Pearls! The Supreme Innate Elemental Root, Yellow Plum!

Lu Yun headed towards the direction of another Quasi-Saint.

However, Nuwa did not reveal the other party's identity beforehand, but only told Lu Yun how much the quasi-saints in this place were offering.

The other party's offer was second only to Zhen Yuanzi and Minghe, so they must have an extraordinary background.

Therefore, before meeting the other party, Lu Yun decided to observe them for a while.

With the help of the power of the Mountain and River Map, although he was very close to the Quasi-Saint, the other party did not notice his arrival.

That's why Lu Yun saw that there were actually two more people here.

No, they are not actually human. Lu Yun saw two very obvious features on their heads—dragon horns and dragon scales!

These are two dragons!

No wonder they quoted such high prices!

Lu Yun's gaze towards the two men suddenly became more interested.

Of the two dragons, one was a dragon girl who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other was a middle-aged dragon man with a burly build.

Dragon girls possess fair skin and delicate bones, graceful figures, and a gentle, elegant aura. They lack the fierceness and fortitude characteristic of dragons, instead resembling the tender buds beneath tall trees, making them exceptionally gentle and captivating.

As for the middle-aged man, his body was like that of steel, and his aura was as proud as frost, revealing his extraordinary nature.

Lu Yun stared intently at the person before him. From the other person, he sensed a vast aura, surging like the rivers of the heavens, which greatly surprised him.

Without a doubt, this person is definitely at the Quasi-Saint level.

According to Lu Yun's knowledge, the dragon race should have declined after the initial calamity of the ancient Dragon Han Dynasty.

I never imagined there would still be such a powerful figure now?

Having waited for a long time, the dragon girl was clearly getting impatient, muttering, "It's been so long, why isn't he here yet?"

The middle-aged man glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "I told you not to follow me, but you wouldn't listen. Now you're getting impatient?"

The dragon girl stuck out her tongue but didn't argue back.

The two did not continue their conversation, so Lu Yun naturally did not waste any more time and appeared directly in front of them.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged dragon man clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Ao Yin of the Dragon Clan greets fellow Daoist."

His expression was as calm and composed as the waters of an abyss, exuding the majesty and serenity of a dragon.

The dragon girl beside him immediately followed suit, bowing to Lu Yun and saying, "Ao Shuang of the Dragon Clan greets fellow Daoist!"

Aoyin?

Lu Yun felt somewhat unfamiliar with this name.

However, judging from the opponent's strength, it is clear that the opponent is not an ordinary dragon.

This young girl, despite her young age, is already a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and judging from Ao Yin's attitude towards her, she must also hold an extraordinary position in the Dragon Clan.

Of course, all of this has little to do with Lu Yun; he's still here today to sell "Primordial Purple Qi"!

Therefore, Lu Yun returned the greeting with a smile and said, "Greetings, both of you!"

Then Lu Yun got straight to the point: "I heard from Goddess Nuwa that the Dragon Clan is willing to offer a Water Spirit Pearl, along with some other spiritual treasures, as the items in exchange?"

The so-called Water Spirit Pearl is one of the five innate spirit pearls, and its grade is also that of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

The reason why the other party's offer was slightly less than that of Styx and Zhen Yuanzi was because the total value of the other innate spiritual treasures they offered was slightly lower.

Ao Yin nodded frankly and said, "That's right! Fellow Daoist has come to see us now, so it seems you've decided to sell the Primordial Purple Qi to us?"

As he said this, a hint of fervor clearly appeared in his originally cold eyes.

The dragon maiden Ao Shuang's pretty face revealed an undisguised look of anticipation.

Lu Yun understood this perfectly.

In the early days of the Dragon-Han War, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans waged a great war, committing endless killings and incurring divine retribution.

Even though Zulong, Yuanfeng, and Shiqilin later gained a lot of merit by suppressing the sea eye, volcano, and earth vein respectively, they still could not completely resolve the overwhelming karma.

The Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan were thus rejected by heaven and earth. Due to heavy casualties in the great war, they found it difficult to gain a foothold in the prehistoric world and almost faded out of the prehistoric stage.

Ao Yin probably thought that if they could obtain the Primordial Purple Qi, and someone from the Dragon Clan could attain sainthood, it would change the current situation, which is why he risked coming to compete for it.

Although Lu Yun was not optimistic about this, he naturally wouldn't make a fool of himself.

Conversely, the lower the probability of a dragon achieving sainthood, the lower the probability of discovering that the "Primordial Purple Qi" he sold was problematic.

Lu Yun was about to proceed with the transaction, but as the words were about to come out, he suddenly thought of something else: Everyone says that the Dragon Clan is wealthy, so perhaps I can get them to raise the price!

So Lu Yun said, "I suppose Fellow Daoist Ao Yin should know that the price you offered isn't actually that advantageous, is it?"

Ao Yin, whose gaze had been eager, stiffened slightly, then said helplessly, "To be honest, fellow Daoist, the Dragon Clan is currently in a difficult situation, and this is the highest price we can offer."

Lu Yun chuckled and said, "No, you can offer other prices!"

Ao Shuang asked curiously, "What's the price?"

Ao Yin also stared straight at Lu Yun.

Lu Yun smiled and said, "As far as I know, the dragon race is skilled at controlling clouds and rain. I imagine that you all can ensure favorable weather for the land where our human race resides, right?"

Ao Yin's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he said, "No problem! Of course, no problem! If you are willing to hand over the Primordial Purple Qi to me, I can guarantee that from now on, wherever the human race resides, there will be favorable weather and abundant harvests!"

Lu Yun was not satisfied with this and continued, "Our human race is also in a difficult situation. Because we are inherently weak, it is difficult for us to obtain even some cultivation resources. Could the dragon race provide some assistance?"

Ao Yin readily agreed, saying, "Of course! I thought you wouldn't care about those low-level resources, that's why I didn't mention them! If you need them, my Dragon Clan can provide them to the best of our ability!"

Compared to the Primordial Purple Qi, these low-level cultivation resources are simply insignificant.

Ao Yin felt that as long as he could obtain the Primordial Purple Qi, he would not mind even if he had to completely empty the Dragon Clan's treasure trove.

Lu Yun was satisfied and said, "Then it's a deal! I don't need you to go and bring it over immediately. You can take the Primordial Purple Qi for now, and I'll personally go to the Dragon Clan to collect the resources later!"

Ao Shuang never expected that Lu Yun would trust their dragon clan so much.

She firmly stated, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, you don't need to come to collect it. I will personally deliver it to you after I return!"

Ao Yin didn't have any objections to this, but she still looked at Lu Yun with eager eyes.

Lu Yun was completely satisfied and said, "In that case, let's make the deal!"

Ao was overjoyed and immediately took out many things, which instantly shone with precious light, illuminating all directions.

Among them, a radiant spiritual pearl immediately caught Lu Yun's attention.

That is the Water Spirit Pearl, one of the Five Innate Spirit Pearls!

Besides the Water Spirit Pearl, the other dozen or so spiritual treasures were also mostly of the mid-grade innate level, which made Lu Yun secretly excited.

However, Lu Yun tried his best to control his emotions, calmly took out a wisp of "Primordial Purple Qi" and completed the transaction with Ao Yin.

Upon obtaining the "Primordial Purple Qi", Ao Yin and Ao Shuang were extremely excited.

Lu Yun was equally excited. While quickly putting away the numerous spiritual treasures, he continued to maintain his composure and added, "Fellow Daoists, please stay here for a moment and leave with the others later, lest someone discover that you possess the Primordial Purple Qi."

Ao Yin's eyes lit up, and he said, "Fellow Daoist is right!"

Lu Yun then turned and left.

……

Not long after, Lu Yun met another quasi-saint who wanted to buy the Primordial Purple Qi.

This is a rather rare female quasi-saint!

Although this female quasi-saint didn't have much wealth, her asking price wasn't high, and she couldn't even afford a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, Lu Yun still didn't let her go.

After all, even a top-grade innate spiritual treasure isn't unusable, not to mention it can be given to others to use, or at worst, it can be uploaded to the points mall and sold.

Moreover, although this female quasi-saint does not have many top-tier treasures, she certainly has no shortage of some medium and low-grade spiritual materials.

These things are no longer of much use to her, but they are still very useful to Lu Yun, a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Even things that are no longer of any use to Lu Yun can be used by him to cultivate the human race.

Because he wanted to complete the supreme-level mission he had triggered earlier: to lead the human race in a battle against the lich race, and the human race's current growth rate was not fast enough.

It was nothing more than a wisp of illusory primordial purple energy, yet it could bring him and the human race a great deal of resources. Why wouldn't he be happy to do it?

Thus, this female quasi-saint, who had basically given up hope of obtaining the Primordial Purple Qi, was overjoyed to find that Lu Yun had actually chosen her, and was extremely excited.

She couldn't even believe it was real.

It wasn't until Lu Yun actually completed the transaction with her and she obtained the "Primordial Purple Qi" that she finally woke up from her dream!

Afterwards, she naturally expressed her gratitude to Lu Yun with great excitement: "Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist!"

Lu Yun, with an upright and righteous expression, took the initiative to explain: "Fellow Daoist, you are too kind! The reason I chose you is because although others offered higher prices, they might not be very grateful to me after obtaining the Primordial Purple Qi. In fact, people like Di Jun have grudges against me, and they might even come back to kill me after becoming saints!"

He paused slightly, then added, "Furthermore, I believe the reason you are slightly weaker is simply due to bad luck. If you were to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi, you would surely be able to attain sainthood one day! Therefore, I chose you because I hope you will take better care of the human race in the future!"

These words moved the female quasi-saint deeply, making her feel as if she had met a kindred spirit!

She gave Lu Yun a deep look and readily said, "From this day forward, the human race is my friend, the Queen Mother of the West. From now on, I will do my utmost to protect the human race!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly transformed. Her previously ordinary appearance became bright and beautiful, with an extraordinary temperament. Her looks were not much different from those of Nuwa and Houtu!

Lu Yun was taken aback.

Queen Mother of the West?

He never expected that the person he was meeting would be this one!

Nuwa never told him that!

It should be noted that this Queen Mother of the West was formed from the first wisp of pure Yin energy in the primordial world, and was therefore personally appointed by Hongjun as the head of the primordial female immortals, and was once very powerful.

Unfortunately, not long after, the Eastern King Duke, the male immortal who was on par with her, met a tragic end. This frightened the Western Queen Mother so much that she dared not go out with the title of the female immortal anymore. From then on, she secluded herself in Xikunlun and cultivated in a very low-key manner.

I never expected that he would join in the fun today, and even come to trade Primordial Purple Qi with me!

Nuwa certainly knew her identity.

But Nuwa didn't explain this to Lu Yun, which seems to mean that Nuwa didn't care too much about the Queen Mother of the West.

It's also possible that because the Queen Mother of the West's offer was too low, Nuwa didn't even expect Lu Yun to meet her, which is why she didn't reveal his identity.

As a result, Lu Yun mistook the other party for an ordinary prehistoric powerhouse, never expecting that the other party actually had a great background!

Of course, those who can cultivate to the level of Quasi-Saint in the primordial world are basically all from humble backgrounds!

When the Queen Mother of the West saw Lu Yun in a daze, she assumed he was amazed by her appearance and didn't think much of it.

She gently raised her hand and took out several more fruits, saying, "Since you are so sincere, I cannot be stingy. I will also give you this fruit!"

Lu Yun then came to his senses.

Upon closer inspection, he exclaimed in surprise, "This is... a Huangzhong plum?"

On the fragrant fruit held in the hands of the Queen Mother of the West, there were two clear characters from the Great Dao: "Huang Zhong"!

This is clearly the fruit of the Yellow Plum, one of the five supreme innate spiritual roots.

Legend has it that this tree flowers once every ten thousand years, bears fruit once every ten thousand years, and takes another ten thousand years to mature. In thirty thousand years, it will only produce nine fruits.

As a fruit even rarer than the ginseng fruit, it is said that if an immortal smells its fragrance, he can gain "ten thousand years of cultivation," and if he is lucky enough to eat a single fruit, he can instantly become a "Great Golden Immortal"!

The Queen Mother of the West nodded and said, "This is also the last Yellow Plum I have. Please accept it, fellow Daoist!"

Lu Yun, of course, wouldn't stand on ceremony and accepted the gift with a smile, saying, "Then, thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West!"

The Queen Mother of the West smiled slightly and was about to leave when Lu Yun stopped her.

Lu Yun said, "Fellow Daoist, leaving now might attract attention from outsiders. It wouldn't be good if they guessed that you obtained the Primordial Purple Qi!"

The Queen Mother of the West's expression changed, and she asked anxiously, "What should I do?"

Lu Yun smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you stay here for a while and take this opportunity to comprehend the Primordial Purple Qi? Then you can leave with the others later. That way, no one should suspect that the Primordial Purple Qi was sold to you!"

The Queen Mother of the West's eyes lit up, and she immediately showed gratitude, saying, "Then thank you very much for helping to cover it up, fellow Daoist!"

Lu Yun waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West is too kind!"

He immediately accepted all the items in the transaction and turned to leave.

After he left, the Queen Mother of the West sat down cross-legged and began to comprehend the "Primordial Purple Qi".

……

After bidding farewell to the Queen Mother of the West, Lu Yun began to ponder another issue.

Only one strand of the fake Primordial Purple Qi remains. Should we go see Di Jun and trick the demon race?
