I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

Longevity Hill is shrouded in mist and rich in spiritual energy.

This place is the Daoist temple of Zhenyuan Daxian, a top-grade blessed land in the primordial world.

Wuzhuang Temple.

The gentle breeze and the bright moon are cultivating themselves and seeking enlightenment.

Suddenly, I saw a streak of light flash across the sky.

Qingfeng exclaimed in surprise, "The Nine Dragons Incense Chariot? The Sage has arrived! Quickly, go and tell the teacher!"

Mingyue ran quickly to the backyard of Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhen Yuanzi, dressed in an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, stood under the ginseng fruit tree, his eyes reddening.

These days, I miss my virtuous brother Hongyun more and more. "Alas... I am powerless as your brother and cannot protect you."

"Teacher, teacher!" Mingyue said urgently.

"What's the matter that you're in such a panic?"

"The agarwood carriage, the Nine Dragons Agarwood Carriage, has come to our Wuzhuang Temple."

Zhen Yuanzi's expression changed slightly. "Why would the Jade Purity Saint come to Wuzhuang Temple?"

Zhen Yuanzi's eyes swept across the sky.

Where is the Kowloon Agarwood Chariot? It is clearly the Nine Horses Cloud Chariot.

The cloud carriage was protected by an array, but Zhen Yuanzi could not observe it through the array. "Mingyue, welcome the guests."

"Yes, teacher!"

……

The Nine Horses Cloud Chariot landed outside the Wuzhuang Temple.

Li Yu helped Yunxiao down from the cloud carriage.

Taoist patterns are engraved on both sides of Wuzhuang Temple:

The immortal abode of eternal life, the Taoist home of living as long as heaven.

Horizontal scroll: May Heaven and Earth live as long as we do.

Li Yu smiled calmly. Zhenyuan Daxian using "living as long as heaven and earth" as the horizontal inscription was definitely too modest. It should be: "A very elegant inscription!"

"Li Yu of the human race pays respects to the Great Immortal Zhenyuan."

"Yunxiao pays respects to Zhenyuan Daxian."

Qingfeng and Mingyue walked out of the temple, and only then did they realize that their carriage was a nine-horse cloud carriage, not a nine-dragon sandalwood carriage.

Qingfeng and Mingyue exchanged bewildered glances. "These humans... they have some nerve! They dare ride in the exact same cloud carriage as the Sage!"

Qingfeng and Mingyue stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Qingfeng and Mingyue greet fellow Daoist."

"Master invites you two fellow Daoists to enter the temple."

Thank you.

Li Yu helped Yunxiao into the Wuzhuang Temple.

hum!

A rich, innate wood elemental energy wafts towards you, refreshing, vibrant, and a realm where all things flourish!

Nothing more! The ginseng fruit tree is Zhen Yuanzi's personal spiritual root, belonging to the highest grade of innate essence.

A gentle breeze and a bright moon led Li Yu and Yunxiao into the main hall.

Li Yu bowed respectfully, "Li Yu of the human race pays respects to Zhenyuan Daxian, the ancestor of all earth immortals!"

Zhen Yuanzi protected countless humans, and the humans, in gratitude, revered him as the ancestor of the Earth Immortals!

Zhen Yuanzi sized up Li Yu, "So it is the ruler of the human race who has arrived. I recognize you. You fought Taiyi to a draw back then. You are truly a new generation of genius in the primordial world."

Well, this is the true value of Donghuang Taiyi.

After Li Yu fought Donghuang Taiyi, he directly used Taiyi's reputation to become a powerful figure in the prehistoric world.

Even Zhen Yuanzi, who lived in seclusion, knew about it.

Li Yu laughed and said, "This junior is humbled and unworthy of the title of genius."

"Thank you, Great Immortal, for protecting our fellow human beings back then."

"It's nothing, just a small matter," Zhen Yuanzi said calmly.

"Yunxiao pays respects to Zhenyuan Daxian."

Zhen Yuanzi looked at Yunxiao and asked, "Are you healed?"

"I'm feeling a bit better."

Zhen Yuanzi nodded in understanding, "That's good. Back then, Brother Shangqing brought you to Wuzhuang Temple. Unfortunately, the ginseng fruit was useless to you. Brother Shangqing has traveled almost all over the prehistoric world, but there's nothing he can do about it."

Yunxiao smiled and nodded, "Thank you for the ginseng fruit from Zhenyuan Daxian. Perhaps it is fate that has its own way of life. Everything has a chance to live. It was only after meeting my husband that Yunxiao's condition improved."

The name of the son-in-law of the Jie Sect spread throughout the primordial world.

Zhen Yuanzi had also heard of it.

Upon hearing the word "a glimmer of hope," Zhen Yuanzi's mood suddenly turned heavy. "Yes! A glimmer of hope... everything has a glimmer of hope..."

"But...where is my sliver of hope for my virtuous brother Hongyun?"

"My virtuous brother Hongyun has fallen... He's gone forever, never to return."

Zhen Yuanzi was in low spirits and said slowly, "Qingfeng, Mingyue, go and fetch five fruits."

"Yes, teacher!"

Before long, Qingfeng and Mingyue presented five ginseng fruits.

The fruit is crystal clear and exudes a rich, woody aura!

Also known as the Herbal Elixir, it is said that just one whiff of its aroma can extend one's life by thousands of years, and consuming one will instantly grant one ascension to heaven.

Moreover, the ginseng fruit tree of today has not been damaged in its original form. It flowers once every 300,000 years, bears fruit once every 300,000 years, and takes another 300,000 years to mature. It will take a full million years to mature!

It is obvious that ginseng fruit is extremely precious!

"Young friend, you have come from afar. Please forgive my poor hospitality. Have some fruit to quench your thirst."

Li Yu thought to himself, 'Zhen Yuanzi is indeed not a petty person; I can become close friends with him.'

"Thank you for your hospitality, Master Zhenyuan."

Li Yu picked up a ginseng fruit, which melted in his mouth.

In an instant, it transformed into a vast spiritual force, merging into the limbs and bones, continuously nourishing the Dao body!

It contains immense magical power and has a remarkable effect on healing injuries and replenishing the source of life!

It truly lives up to its legendary name, the ginseng fruit!

After eating the ginseng fruit.

Zhen Yuanzi then said, "This humble Taoist observes that my young friend has already reached the pinnacle of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and will soon be able to step into the Daluo realm. Shall we discuss the Dao?"

Clearly, Zhen Yuanzi is mentoring the younger generation again.

Li Yu bowed and said, "Great Immortal, please."

To be precise, Li Yu's discussion with Zhen Yuanzi was an exchange of ideas, in which he listened to Zhen Yuanzi's insights into the Dao.

Zhen Yuanzi, as one of the top experts among the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace, naturally possessed extraordinary insights into the Dao.

Li Yu benefited greatly from this.

Sunset, the last rays of the setting sun.

After the brief discussion concluded, Li Yu did not leave.

Instead, he and his wife stayed at Wuzhuang Temple.

The next day, he continued his discussion with Zhen Yuanzi.

On the third day, Qingfeng and Mingyue brought over two more ginseng fruits.

On the fourth day, the discussion continued.

Time flies like sand, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Wuzhuang Temple, side hall.

Li Yujing sat on the futon, his body exuding a strong Daoist aura. He let out a burp and said, "To be honest, I'm already tired of ginseng fruit."

Zhen Yuanzi would invite people for tea every few days; he was so hospitable!

Whenever I entertain guests with tea, I always serve a ginseng fruit.

Li Yu forgot how many he ate, but there must have been at least ten!

Yunxiao became even more embarrassed. "Husband, shouldn't we be leaving now?"

Yunxiao noodles are so thin that eating even one ginseng fruit feels like an honor, yet Zhen Yuanzi kept offering them to him.

Yunxiao felt truly ashamed.

Li Yu smiled calmly, "It's alright, my lady. I will repay Zhenyuan Daxian for the cause and effect."

Within the system space, Hongyun's remnant soul also consumed a ginseng fruit, making it even more refined.

The remnant soul of Hongyun laughed, "Brother, you're so kind! You let me eat all the fruit that grew back then. I never dreamed that I would taste ginseng fruit again before I die."

Night deepened.

Li Yu held Yunxiao as he fell asleep, and after his wife was asleep, he set up several protective formations.

Afterwards, Li Yu walked out of the side hall.

The moonlight, as white as frost, fell evenly over the Wuzhuang Temple.

Li Yu walked towards the backyard.

Under the ginseng fruit tree.

The gentle breeze and the bright moon felt their hearts bleed. "One, two, three... it took a million years to grow thirty fruits, and now there are only three left?"

"Waaaaah! That's too much!"

"The sovereign of humanity, have you no shame at all!"

"Just lazing around eating and drinking for free... Waaaaaah..."

Qingfeng and Mingyue dared not speak out in anger, for their teacher was treating them to a meal, and they dared not and could not say more.

Qingfeng and Mingyue counted twice more before returning to their cultivation.

Not long after.

Zhen Yuanzi walked to the ginseng fruit tree, where there were only a few fruits.

Tears streamed down her face.

"Brother Hongyun is no longer here, what use is this rotten fruit to me?"

"What's the use?"

"It's no use."

And just then...

A beam of red light emerged from the gourd's mouth, clad in a red Taoist robe, tears welling in its eyes. "Brother! Hongyun is back!"
