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

Chapter 20, The Method of Cultivation Through Sleep

Hongyun couldn't possibly accept such credit, so she quickly explained, "Zhenyuan, there's no need to thank me. I don't even know the cultivation methods you believe in; you figured them out yourself."

Zhen Yuanzi was greatly puzzled: "You don't know? Then why are you lying here with your eyes closed, and even your breathing is much slower?"

What can be said? What can Hongyun say?

He was relieved that he had only heard slow breathing rather than deafening snoring.

If that were the case, and he asked me with such sincerity, it would be incredibly frustrating.

"Hmm..." Hongyun hesitated for a moment.

"I was emptying my mind and cleansing my soul so that I could be free of distractions during my practice the next day and achieve a state of tranquility... a state of tranquility."

Finally, a legitimate reason has been fabricated, so that the credit won't be claimed and the person won't be looked down upon.

Hongyun has always believed that I can be lazy, but you can't judge me as lazy.

Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi believed this, Hongyun added, "Your ability to comprehend this cultivation method is entirely due to your own comprehension and opportunity; it has nothing to do with me."

"Congratulations to Zhenyuan for having this opportunity; he will surely surpass everyone in the prehistoric world in the future."

Zhen Yuanzi was an unambitious person who never wanted to be ahead of the rest of the prehistoric world. This was clearly shown from the fact that he had never left Wanshou Mountain since he took human form. He only wanted to live a peaceful life in a secluded corner and pursue his own path.

However, Hongyun wouldn't give him that chance. Even if he didn't want to go out and meet people or get involved in trouble, he would still be dragged out by Hongyun.

Otherwise, where would Hongyun find people to fleece?

Hongyun: "With Zhenyuan's extraordinary comprehension, once the Enlightenment Tea Tree matures, with the Enlightenment Tea leaves as a supplement, he will definitely make another breakthrough."

Zhen Yuanzi blushed as Hongyun flattered him. He felt that his talent and comprehension were inferior to Hongyun's, but he did not expect that he was so outstanding in Hongyun's eyes.

"Then thank you very much, Hongyun, for considering my needs." Zhen Yuanzi bowed slightly shyly.

Hongyun smiled knowingly: "Zhenyuan, why be so formal? You didn't seem to mind giving me half of the ginseng fruit before!"

He took out several ginseng fruits that he had previously hidden in his sleeve and handed them to Zhen Yuanzi with a look of pride: "These are the ones I hid before, eat them quickly!"

"I already felt those two shameless people didn't seem to know any manners, so I made sure to sneak in quickly and hide the extra ginseng fruits, otherwise they would have eaten them all!"

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head helplessly. He really didn't care about these few ginseng fruits. All he cared about was the tree. As long as the tree was alright, what difference would it make if he gave them these few ginseng fruits?

However, seeing Hongyun's childlike demeanor now, I feel that Hongyun did the right thing.

People subconsciously distinguish between close and distant relationships; in his subconscious, Hongyun was a friend. Jieyin and Zhunti were disliked by Hongyun from their first meeting, and even if Hongyun wasn't so despicable, he wouldn't have befriended him.

Hongyun took a bite, then pushed Zhen Yuanzi's hand holding the ginseng fruit towards his mouth.

Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Hongyun, who was laughing like a fool, and took a bite as well.

Hongyun was unaware that her image in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes had already been fixed; if she had known, she would definitely have protested.

"I think I'm incredibly lucky. I'm sure I'll find another spiritual root like this in the future. Then I'll plant it at the entrance of Wuzhuang Temple, and we'll expand the formation a bit more, so those people can see it but can't steal it. That'll infuriate them!" Hongyun said with a wicked grin.
