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

"The headquarters sets the price, and the amount of 'moral points' required for exchanging cultivation breakthroughs varies depending on the number of exchanges. For example: 300,000 for the first exchange, 600,000 for the second, and 1,200,000 for the third, increasing in increments."

Hongyun instantly wilted, showing no comprehension whatsoever. His cultivation had also hit a bottleneck, and the expenses in the system shop were increasing rapidly, sounding terrifying.

At such a distressing moment, the two people beside me seemed to be divinely aided, which was truly unbearable.

Half a month later, Tongtian smiled and said, "This Enlightenment Tea is indeed worthy of its reputation. Just one whiff of it gave me a series of insights."

Hongyun gave Tongtian a wry smile and said, "It's because Fellow Daoist Tongtian's Kunlun Divine Water is good enough. We didn't get such an effect when we used plain water to boil tea before."

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, you have such great insight!" Even Tongtian was shocked by Zhen Yuanzi.

"I drank a whole pot and still didn't grasp anything." Although Hongyun was upset, she didn't feel ashamed and directly took it out to make Tongtian happy.

"How could this be?" Tongtian was utterly puzzled.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, you have great fortune and opportunities, how come you felt no enlightenment after drinking the Enlightenment Tea?"

Hongyun sighed. It was precisely because of this great fortune and opportunity that he was targeted and schemed against, leading to his death and annihilation. The novel portrays him as the most fortunate person in the primordial world, but many readers see him as the most unlucky!

Tongtian had no intention of gloating, but he felt that although what he had comprehended was not as good as Zhen Yuanzi's, it was still much better than Hongyun's.

Hongyun poured Tongtian a cup of tea, hoping that drinking it would bring him further insights.

However, everyone's comprehension is limited. With Kunlun Divine Water and Enlightenment Tea, there is so much spiritual energy and Dao intent that those who can comprehend it have already comprehended it, so it doesn't matter if they drink a few more cups.

For example, Tongtian didn't experience any profound insights after drinking it, and Hongyun could only drink ordinary water or Kunlun Divine Water without any real understanding.

Not long after, Zhen Yuanzi opened his eyes. He felt that his body was full of spiritual energy and he was only one step away from breaking through.

Hongyun also poured a cup of tea for Zhen Yuanzi. There was no other way; they had all done their business, while Hongyun had been sitting here for nearly twenty days, so she had to take good care of this pot of tea.

"You still don't feel anything?" Zhen Yuanzi knew what was wrong as soon as he saw Hongyun pouting and looking dejected.

Hongyun nodded. Zhen Yuanzi could only feel sorry for Hongyun. After sighing, he didn't bring up the topic again, so as not to make Hongyun even more upset.

After enjoying tea, the three discussed philosophy.

Tongtian is one of the Three Pure Ones, the best foundation in the prehistoric world, and often discusses the Dao with Laozi and Tongtian. The Dao he comprehends is definitely above that of all living beings in the prehistoric world.

The Dao intent contained within the red cloud bead is the most complete version of the Dao intent bestowed upon all living beings in the primordial world by Pangu when he created the world.

After all, others can only comprehend what they can comprehend, and the rest will slowly dissipate or be comprehended by others. But Hongyun's understanding is that he can store up what he cannot comprehend and comprehend it slowly. He will not be inferior to Tongtian.

As for Zhen Yuanzi, he began cultivating with his eyes closed from the very beginning of the Daoist discussions. Most of the Daoist teachings from Hongyun and Tongtian were beneficial to him, and he made rapid progress in his studies.

In the novel, Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of the Earthly Immortals because he created the Earthly Immortal Realm. However, Hongyun has forgotten when the Earthly Immortal Realm was created. Now, seeing that Zhen Yuanzi has been constantly comprehending without any signs of breakthrough, he can't help but wonder if he has comprehended his own Great Dao.
