The first disciple of the Three Pure Ones, Little Sizi's immortal brother

"Disciple, how was it? Did the Sage give you any trouble inside?" As soon as he came out, Taiqing immediately stepped forward to ask with concern.

Shi Ming felt a warmth in his heart, but he quickly replied, "Thank you for your concern, Master. I'm fine. Saint Hongjun is a very kind person and gave me quite a few things."

You must know that this is Zixiao Palace, the sacred place of the sages. The Three Pure Ones are well aware that Hongjun can definitely hear their conversation, but even so, Taiqing still asked.

Not only Taiqing, but also Yuanshi and Tongtian stood by, making their stance clear.

The Three Pure Ones share a common lineage, and their protectiveness of their own is a consistent tradition.

They were no match for the Sages, but Hongjun was also powerless against them.

It's important to understand that the Three Pure Ones possess the merits left behind by Pangu during the creation of the world. If anyone were to kill one of the Three Pure Ones, their fate would certainly not be good.

Furthermore, the Three Pure Ones had a hunch that even sages would have to think things through before taking action against them, which was why they were so fearless.

However, in order to protect their younger generation, they were prepared to be enemies of the sage.

In the primordial world, the relationship between a direct disciple and their master is equivalent to that between a child and their parents. In addition, they are extremely satisfied with Shi Ming, so if anyone is to harm Shi Ming, the Three Pure Ones will be the first to object.

Even a saint wouldn't do it!

Hearing Shi Ming's words, Tai Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but was also somewhat surprised.

"It seems the Sage truly favors you, my disciple."

"Thank you for the compliment, Master."

After saying this, the four of them did not linger in Zixiao Palace. They bowed to the palace and then Taiqing summoned the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda to protect them as they passed through the chaotic gales and left.

As soon as they stepped into the primordial wilderness, a feeling of sudden enlightenment welled up in the hearts of the four of them.

"There's a chance!" The thought popped into the minds of all four of them at the same time.

"Second brother, third brother, judging from your expressions, since you both feel this way, why don't we go together?"

"nature."

"good."

The Three Pure Ones looked at Shi Ming, who smiled and pointed in a direction: "Master, Uncle-Master Yuanshi, Uncle-Master Tongtian, to be honest, I also have this feeling about that direction..."

The three Qings' eyes lit up, and Taiqing grabbed Shiming and flew off in the direction he sensed.

After Taiqing had this feeling last time, he took in Shiming, a disciple who was extremely satisfactory.

What will it be this time?

Lingbao, Linggen, or... yet another disciple.

"If only I could take on a disciple like my nephew," Tongtian murmured during the flight.

"Dream on." Yuanshi retorted without hesitation.

"..." Tongtian fell silent. Although the truth might indeed be so, it at least gave him some hope!

Taiqing and Shiming calmly watched Yuanshi and Tongtian bicker, which was a bit of a relief in their monotonous lives.

Finally, after a hurried journey, the three arrived at Buzhou Mountain.

Legend has it that this place was formed from the spine of Pangu, a place of outstanding people and abundant resources, so it's not surprising that some great opportunities were born here.

Perhaps because the Three Pure Ones and others had been waiting for Shi Ming outside Zixiao Palace for a while, quite a few people had already gathered here, just like when a group of people surrounded Shi Ming when he had just taken human form.

Nuwa, Fuxi, Dijun, Taiyi, Zhenyuanzi, Hongyun, Zhunti, Jieyin...

Seeing this, Shi Ming roughly understood what kind of opportunity this was.

The ultimate innate spiritual root – the innate gourd vine.

In some ways, it is more valuable than some magical treasures.

However, it was not as lucky as Shi Ming. The innate array that protected it had long since disappeared, which is why it was exposed to the gaze of many powerful beings in the prehistoric world.

This made Shi Ming feel somewhat regretful, not expecting that he himself had now become "dangerous".

However, he had no intention of sympathizing with the innate gourd vine. After all, if the situation were reversed, the other party would not sympathize with him in the context of the prehistoric world.

For example, Zhunti, isn't his original form also a spiritual root?

Judging from his current appearance, he seems eager to uproot the innate gourd vine and possess it all.

However, it will probably be some time before the innate gourd vine is fully mature.

It won't be long, probably only about a hundred years.

For the creatures of the primordial era, this amount of time is still manageable.

As you can see, many people have already started looking for places to settle down, clearly hoping to take advantage of the situation and get a share of the profits when the innate gourd vine matures.

The Three Pure Ones manually carved out a cave near the gourd vine. Inside, there were four stone chambers, one for each person, so that the three could cultivate, and one person could stay behind to guard the entrance.

Since Shi Ming's cultivation level was only Taiyi Golden Immortal, the Three Pure Ones did not include Shi Ming in their "team formation".

Shi Ming knew that he was still far behind those powerful beings from the primordial era, so he didn't insist any further.

Several years passed in the blink of an eye. During these years, Shi Ming focused his main efforts on refining the restrictions on spiritual treasures.

After all, to become a Great Immortal, one needs opportunity, talent, and timing—all three are indispensable.

Therefore, Shi Ming was not in a hurry.

Furthermore, refining the restrictions of innate spiritual treasures can enhance his understanding of the Dao, which is more beneficial to his breakthrough.

However, during the process of refining the restriction, the face of a little girl—Sizi—would occasionally pop into Shi Ming's mind.

My own cultivation, which has been the same for thousands of years, is incredibly boring. That day spent playing with Sizi, however, has become an unforgettable memory...

Ignoring the menacing gazes around him, with his master present, these people wouldn't dare to make a move. After checking on the growth progress of the innate gourd vine and confirming that it was still far from mature, Shi Ming returned to the cave, a certain thought growing stronger with each step.

A short while later, Shi Ming disappeared from the spot, leaving behind his presence in the stone chamber.

Fengyang Pavilion —

"God~ Fairy~ Brother~ Come and play with Persimmon~"

"God~ Fairy~ Brother~ Come and play with Persimmon~"

"God~ Fairy~ Brother~ Come and play with Persimmon~"

Sizi lay listlessly on the bed, occasionally uttering a word.

"Alright, Sizi, stop shouting. Maybe your fairy brother has something to do. If he can hear you, he'll get annoyed if you keep nagging him like this." Princess Chang Le, Li Lizhi, looked at Sizi lying on the bed with amusement.

She was sent to accompany the little ox by imperial decree. Because the little ox was too young, Li Shimin and the others couldn't find out anything about it during this time. They only knew that the little ox could fly and looked young, but they didn't know anything else.

Because the way Si Zi described it... was quite unique.

Therefore, Li Shimin simply sent Princess Chang Le to visit the ox from time to time, hoping that it might encounter a deity someday.

"The firewood won't go to waste!" Upon hearing this, Si Zi jumped up. "This divine pot is even better than porridge and persimmons!"

"Okay, okay~"
