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

Chapter 53, Huang Zhongli

This fruit is shaped like a pearl, and it has the words "Huang Zhong" on it. It is full of spiritual energy and is obviously not an ordinary thing.

However, since Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi possessed three innate spiritual roots—the Ginseng Fruit Tree, the Enlightenment Tea Tree, and the Black Jade Plum Blossom—they weren't particularly excited upon seeing the fruit.

Tongtian was even more pleased with the expressions of Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi. He had taken them out to give to the two of them, but if Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi showed too much greed, he would certainly be ashamed.

Seeing that Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi showed no surprise or excitement, one can guess that perhaps Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi also possess innate spiritual roots.

Tongtian: "This is the Huangzhong Plum, a primordial spiritual root that grows on Kunlun Mountain. This tree blossoms once a year, bears fruit once a year, and matures once a year. It possesses profound spiritual power, which is beneficial for cultivation, and its taste is also quite good. I'm offering it to you two fellow Daoists to have a taste."

Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi exchanged a glance after receiving the Huangzhong plums, both feeling somewhat embarrassed. After all, these Huangzhong plums were far superior to any piece of dragon meat. Moreover, they themselves possessed innate spiritual roots but hadn't brought many with them, leaving them unable to reciprocate.

"We two cultivate at Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain. There is also a primordial spiritual root in the temple, called the Ginseng Fruit Tree. This tree blossoms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and takes another three thousand years to ripen. Its spiritual power is no weaker than your Yellow Plum."

Unfortunately, the ginseng fruit was not yet ripe when we set out to explore the primordial wilderness, so we cannot offer it to you to taste. When the ginseng fruit ripens in the future, I will certainly send it to Kunlun Mountain for you to enjoy.”

Zhen Yuanzi initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Tongtian's sincere expression, he hesitated for a moment and then accepted the Huangzhong Li, even promising to give away ginseng fruit.

Tongtian wasn't one for empty politeness, and he laughed and agreed: "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you, fellow Daoist, and will wait for your arrival at Kunlun Mountain."

Hongyun used magic to extinguish the fire: "I have long heard of the fame of the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain. I never expected to encounter one of them again today. It is truly fate."

Tongtian: "My eldest and second elder brothers are both in seclusion on Kunlun Mountain. I was the only one who came down the mountain to travel. I smelled the aroma of your roasted meat and came here to see. It is truly fate."

Zhen Yuanzi's gaze towards Tongtian changed. This was yet another one who couldn't concentrate on cultivation and had sneaked out. No wonder he and Hongyun kept talking about being destined for each other and got along so well as soon as they met. They must have the same temperament and were birds of a feather.

Seeing that Hongyun and Tongtian had gone together without prior arrangement, Zhen Yuanzi secretly decided that he couldn't let Tongtian and Hongyun play together, otherwise Hongyun would become even more foolish and difficult to manage.

After pondering for a moment, Zhen Yuanzi said to Tongtian, "I have long heard that the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain are the true descendants of Pangu, possessing profound cultivation and countless magical treasures. Now that I have the opportunity to meet Fellow Daoist Tongtian, would it be possible to visit Fellow Daoist Tongtian's two elder brothers at Kunlun Mountain?"

Zhen Yuanzi planned to send the runaway child back home, so as to prevent Hongyun from being led astray.

Tongtian immediately refused: "That won't do, not for at least the next few hundred years."

Just kidding, he sneaked down the mountain in the first place, and he hasn't been out for long. He hasn't even traveled much of the wilderness yet, how could he go back?

If he were to go back, his second brother, with his temper, would definitely lecture him for a long time. Then he would force him into seclusion, saying things like he wasn't allowed to come out until he broke through, as if he had already broken through just by going into seclusion!
