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

Chapter 296, Forced to be Mute

However, there was one thing among the three religions that Hongyun was interested in, especially after he accepted Ao Bing as a disciple for Zhen Yuanzi.

When reading novels in later generations, Hongyun really liked the character Yang Jian. Whether it was Investiture of the Gods or Lotus Lantern, Yang Jian was always a dignified and powerful positive character.

The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts he cultivated can be called the number one technique for strengthening the physical body. It also incorporates some techniques of the Wu Clan, which allowed him to secure the position of the third-generation chief disciple of the Chan Sect at a young age.

Now that Ao Bing has become a disciple of Wuzhuang Temple, Hongyun can no longer just ignore everything. Dragon scales are hard and their bodies are strong, making them very suitable for practicing the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

However, exchanging only for the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts isn't entirely acceptable. After all, he could certainly obtain any cultivation techniques from Hongjun that the Three Pure Ones possess.

"When I passed through the East Sea, I took Ao Bing, the third prince of the East Sea Dragon King, as Zhen Yuanzi's disciple. He happens to be lacking a suitable weapon and cultivation techniques. Perhaps the Sage Tongtian could bestow some upon him as a reward, considering we are neighbors?" Hongyun ultimately did not offer an exchange.

Tongtian laughed when he heard that Hongyun had taken on a disciple for Zhenyuanzi. Hongyun was indeed lucky to have met such a good-natured friend as Zhenyuanzi. Otherwise, it would be a question whether Hongyun could have lived to become a saint.

"Weapons and cultivation techniques are not a problem; my Jie Sect has plenty. It's just that you provide weapons and magical treasures when you take on disciples, so what's wrong with my Jie Sect asking you, as your senior uncle, to give us a single innate spiritual root?"

"Your junior disciple wants to eat some spiritual fruits and wants to go out without being laughed at. You, a dignified saint, what's wrong with producing a sapling?"

Tongtian used the same trick against him, and he was so happy to get revenge!

"But you're being too polite by saying that."

"Whether it's your disciple or Zhen Yuanzi's disciple, if they need weapons or martial arts techniques, they can come to me, and I will grant their request. You speak too casually, as if our years of friendship have been swept away by the waves when you came."

Hongyun knew Tongtian was up to something and was about to explain when Tongtian manually muted her.

"Ugh~" Hongyun's eyes widened, truly not expecting Tongtian to reach out and cover his mouth.

For a sage to do such a thing, he has no shame whatsoever. Let him off this time! It's just an innate spiritual root; what harm is there in giving it to him?

"I won't refuse your disciple, but if my disciple wants a sapling that you have but don't have, would you be unwilling to part with it?" Tongtian was going all out, asking with a serious expression, not caring at all about whether this would be embarrassing if word got out.

Hongyun sighed, shook her head, shook off Tongtian's hand, and said helplessly, "Alright, alright, see you off!"

"Duobao, Jinguang, come in and thank your Uncle Hongyun!" Tongtian sat back down in his original spot and immediately called out loudly to the outside.

Duobao and Jinguang entered directly, without even needing to know what they were thanking Hongyun for. They knelt before Hongyun and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Hongyun!"

Duobao had been with Tongtian the longest, and seeing Tongtian's expression, he knew that Tongtian had gotten a great deal. This was indeed something to be happy about for Tongtian, since his master rarely got the better end of the deal.

Hongyun handed the five-needle pine to Duobao: "Go, find a place to plant it."

Duobao carefully accepted the five-needle pine, bowed to Hongyun and Tongtian, and then withdrew.

Tongtian was delighted, his smile widening: "Now tell me, what kind of weapon and cultivation technique do you want?"
