Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chapter 19, The Enlightenment Tea Tree

Hongyun hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to buy the Black Jade Plum Blossom or the Enlightenment Tea Tree. But after a moment, she made up her mind.

Why should adults make choices? They already have a system, so why make choices? It's just a mere 300,000 anger points, why make a choice?

With Jieyin and Zhunti present, there is no need to make a choice.

Hongyun smiled with kindness and care, and raised her hand to set up a protective barrier.

"You guys aren't allowed to slack off, or I'll catch you and you'll have to practice your skills!" He threatened them before walking away.

There was a ginseng fruit tree in the backyard. Hongyun planned to plant the Enlightenment Tea Tree in the front yard. Then Wuzhuang Temple would become famous, with more innate spiritual roots than the Kunlun Mountain of the Three Pure Ones.

When they wandered to the front yard, Zhen Yuanzi was there too. He had just treated Mingyue Qingfeng and was calming down in the front yard.

Upon seeing Hongyun arrive, he asked, "Why are you here? Aren't you watching them?"

Hongyun casually replied, "With a protective barrier in place, they can't pull anything off."

He cast a spell in the courtyard, creating a flower bed. He took out a sapling of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, planted it, and slowly channeled spiritual energy into it to help the sapling bond better with the soil.

Even the sapling exuded spiritual energy, which piqued Zhen Yuanzi's curiosity. He took a few steps to Hongyun's side to observe the sapling more closely.

He asked, "What is this?"

Hongyun smiled proudly and showed off to Zhen Yuanzi: "This is the Enlightenment Tea Tree, which, like the Ginseng Fruit Tree, is a primordial spiritual root."

"Planting the Enlightenment Tea Tree here will surely enhance the spiritual power of Wuzhuang Temple after it matures, which will also benefit our cultivation."

Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Hongyun, who was laughing happily, and wanted to ask her why she planted it here. Did she not plan to open another dojo in the future?

But what came out of his mouth was something else entirely: "Where did you get this sapling?"

Hongyun paused for a moment, then said naturally, "I found it while dealing with the fire. I studied it for a while before confirming its authenticity, and then brought it back immediately."

Zhen Yuanzi had no doubts. After Hongyun planted the saplings, he instructed Qingfeng and Mingyue, "These Enlightenment Tea Trees are also entrusted to you two to take care of. Do not slack off!"

Mingyue and Qingfeng responded in unison, "Yes, sir!"

"The ginseng fruit tree will be looked after by those two for the time being. You don't need to go over there often, but if you find them slacking off, report it to me immediately." Zhen Yuanzi glanced at the backyard again and sighed.

Qingfeng Mingyue: "Yes, sir!"

Hongyun left satisfied. Before returning to her room, she checked on Jieyin and Zhunti one last time to make sure they were just being lazy and had no intention of causing trouble. Then she went to her room to sleep.

In fact, naturally born beings are tireless and don't need to sleep at all. However, Hongyun still retains many human habits; she occasionally gets greedy and lazy.

Zhen Yuanzi was quite puzzled by this. He wanted to know why Hongyun did this, or what benefit he might gain from it.

Perhaps it was because of his innate exceptional comprehension that Zhen Yuanzi imitated Hongyun's resting behavior and discovered a convenient way to cultivate.

When resting and sleeping, one's mind is exceptionally focused, making cultivation more effective than when awake. After several attempts, Zhen Yuanzi actually devised a method for cultivating while sleeping.

When the person came to express their gratitude, Hongyun was completely dumbfounded. She had no idea that taking a nap could have such an effect; how much precious time for cultivation had she missed while she was asleep?
