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

Zhen Yuanzi: "Your opportunity is already one in a million; there's no need to worry about this one in ten thousand."

Hongyun gave a bitter smile. What Zhen Yuanzi considered an opportunity was not a real opportunity, but the result of his desperate efforts.

In truth, since his transformation into human form, he hasn't had any sudden enlightenment through fortuitous encounters or external assistance. He didn't have the ginseng fruit, the black jade plum blossom, or even the enlightenment tea tree. His only breakthrough was due to a system-induced purchase on credit, a debt he hasn't even paid off yet.

As for Zhen Yuanzi, he was able to break through by listening to his explanation of the Dao intent in the bead. He almost broke through after drinking a cup of the Enlightenment Tea. He also has the Earth Book and the Ginseng Fruit as his companion spiritual treasures. This is what great enlightenment and great opportunity are all about!

"Ginseng fruit, black jade plum blossoms, enlightenment tea leaves, and yellow plums—these are all top-tier innate spiritual roots from the primordial world, yet to me they're just like wild fruits in the forest, only good for tasting!" Hongyun couldn't help but want to complain.

These things would have led to breakthroughs for most people, but Hongyun couldn't even achieve the kind of enlightenment that Zhen Yuanzi did. In Hongyun's hands, these valuable items were really just snacks and things to give away casually.

Zhen Yuanzi smiled and comforted him, "Your transformation is already at the Great Luo level, so breaking through will naturally be more difficult. Many people cultivate for tens of thousands of years without ever reaching the Great Luo level. Even I had to rely on your help to break through once. You have such good fortune, so don't ask for too much."

Hongyun smiled but didn't say anything. She looked down at the empty tea canister and then remembered that Zhen Yuanzi's action just now was that he wanted to drink another cup of tea.

How could they let Zhen Yuanzi be left hanging? Hongyun quickly stood up and started calling, "Qingfeng, Qingfeng!"

Zhen Yuanzi had a headache listening to Hongyun's rant. Why did he have to make someone run two trips when he could just wave his hand and the water would come over?

Just before the breeze rushed in, Zhen Yuanzi had already cast a spell to make the water fly in slowly and gently.

Zhen Yuanzi: "After you've eaten the Black Jade Plum, go and cultivate properly. If you hear Hongyun calling you, you don't need to come over."

"Yes, sir!" Qingfeng was also surprised that he had escaped the clutches of evil so easily this time, and his gratitude was overflowing.

Hongyun glared at the fleeing figure and said angrily, "You two servants still need to temper your tempers!"

Zhen Yuanzi was amused. This was not a typical case of the villain accusing the victim first. Why was Mingyue Qingfeng not afraid or timid when facing him?

"Those two are transformed from ginseng fruits, yet they possess childlike minds, and their cultivation is unlikely to attain the Great Dao. I merely kept them as servants to sweep and tend to them, with no expectation of them achieving anything great. Why are you tormenting them like this?" Zhen Yuanzi helplessly advised.

It wasn't that Zhen Yuanzi felt sorry for them. It was just that Hongyun's behavior was too inexplicable. While rescuing Qingfeng and Mingyue, he advised Hongyun to do something normal.

Hongyun disagreed: "Are you going to stay in Wuzhuang Temple forever and never see outsiders? If the likes of Jieyin and Zhunti come to Wuzhuang Temple again seeking revenge and plundering treasures, your two attendants will be utterly inadequate in terms of both demeanor and cultivation. Won't you disgrace Zhenyuan Daxian?"

In Journey to the West, the two attendants angrily berated Tang Sanzang and his disciples for losing the ginseng fruit, a period that has passed countless years. In the TV series, they are not only of low cultivation level, but also unable to resist their quick wit and sharp tongue, their faces full of bitterness and sarcasm, truly disgracing Zhen Yuanzi.

"They are humanoid ginseng fruits, so their cultivation level is just like this." Zhen Yuanzi really didn't have any expectations for them.
