Distributing Gourds, Wooing the Demon Race, Obtaining the Sword Hunyuan

Then Yun Ting chuckled and said, "My three elders each get one gourd, no problem, right? Mm, my family taking three gourds—we could just grab them by force if we wanted. I'm only covering this place with the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda because I don't want my grandfather's spine disturbed by a great battle. There's absolutely no selfish intent."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi thought to himself, "Knows propriety and observes it—this kid's not bad... But only asking for the gourd vine is a loss; future gourds won't be as good as these. These bastards—if they dare make trouble for my nephew today, this humble Taoist will definitely teach them a lesson."

Laozi stroked his beard, sharing the same thought as Yuanshi. Both were moved by Yun Ting's childlike sincerity. The Three Pure Ones each selected a gourd.

Then Yun Ting continued, "Sun Star God, Di Jun and Tai Yi, with their companion spirit treasure Chaos Bell, offense and defense in one—they get two gourds. An Innate Supreme Treasure plus the Golden Crow's speed means they can fight and flee; no one can stop them. They can take two gourds." With that, he let Di Jun and Tai Yi claim two gourds.

After taking the gourds, Tai Yi handed a feather to Yun Ting and said, "Come visit Sun Star when you have time. This Fire Feather contains two divine abilities: True Sun Fire and Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow. Consider it a gift from us brothers."

"Ding. Mission complete: Befriend the Demon Race. Reward: Hun Yuan Sword, delivered to host's Sea of Consciousness." A prompt suddenly appeared in Yun Ting's mind.

"Senior Nuwa is the strongest female cultivator in the Primordial Wilderness—she deserves one gourd." Yun Ting smiled as he looked at Nuwa.

Nuwa laughed and said, "As expected of a Descendant of Pangu—truly fair and just."

Queen Mother of the West's face darkened, deeply displeased. After all, Yun Ting had outright declared Nuwa the strongest female cultivator in the Primordial Wilderness, completely disregarding her status as Head of Female Immortals...

Watching Queen Mother of the West's dark expression, Yun Ting thought, "Sorry... you're not on the recruitment list." Then he handed the last gourd to Old Ancestor Hong Yun, saying, "Old Ancestor Hong Yun has always been kind to others in the Primordial Wilderness—he deserves one gourd."

After handing the gourd to Hong Yun, Yun Ting instantly felt his Spirit Platform clear. Mm, the Spirit Platform Dusted from stealing Ginseng Fruits and framing Zhunti was completely resolved.

Hong Yun took the gourd and bowed to Yun Ting. Then Yun Ting himself collected the gourd vine, along with the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil that grew it. None of the Great Powers stepped forward to stop him—after all, he hadn't taken a single gourd for himself. If anyone tried to snatch the vine from him now, did they really think the Three Pure Ones were pushovers?

Just then, East King Duke arrived with a group of Immortal Court experts. Jieyin and Zhunti also showed up late, only to find the gourds already divided. Zhunti was furious and snapped at East King Duke, "If you hadn't insisted on competing with me, would we have missed out on the treasure?"

East King Duke chuckled and said, "Since the fortune here is already divided, let's finish the fight we didn't finish earlier." With that, he pushed his mana to its limit, ready to strike.

Seeing this, Zhunti sneered, "Do you think this humble Taoist fears you?" The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in his hand blazed with Seven-colored Glazed Radiance as his mana surged. Yun Ting burst out laughing and said, "East King Duke, you've got no punch in your fight! A Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure without fusing Dao Rhythm can't kill a Quasi-Saint, you know~~"

Nuwa couldn't help but laugh at that, saying to Fuxi, "Big Brother, this Yun Ting is a real character... Classic case of someone who loves watching the world burn."

Fuxi nodded and said, "Youthful spirit, childlike heart. Mm, East King Duke and Zhunti must have offended him before—otherwise, he was just worried about disturbing Great God Pangu's peace, and now he's ready to watch a fight."

Nuwa nodded and said, "That's not surprising—he's just a kid after all... But Zhunti really went too far, burning down the Immortal Court Dojo for no reason. No wonder East King Duke is so angry... If it were our dojo burned down, I'd charge up Mount Sumeru and pull out that Bodhi Tree by the roots."

Other Great Powers were also discussing the battle between East King Duke and Zhunti. Amid the chatter, Yun Ting suddenly said, "I'm opening a bet—one Nine-Revolutions Golden Elixir on East King Duke beating Zhunti. Any Great Power want to play for fun?"

Tai Yi, also one who loved watching chaos unfold, laughed heartily and said, "I'll take that bet. Zhunti's Origin is a bit better than East King Duke's. I'll bet on Zhunti—one Fusang Fruit."

Seeing this, Fuxi rubbed his hands together and said, "Little sister, lend me a Creation Fruit. I want to bet too—on East King Duke. As Head of Male Immortals now, his luck is stronger."

Nuwa shook her head and said, "Don't go... Big Brother, a Creation Fruit is more potent than a Fusang Fruit or a Nine-Revolutions Golden Elixir. This bet's a loss."

Fuxi grinned and said, "They're all about the same... At our level, these three things are just for flavor. None of us are short on spiritual power. Let's just have some fun." With that, he took two Creation Fruits from Nuwa's Cosmic Bag—one to bet on East King Duke's victory, and the other as a greeting gift for Yun Ting.
