And so, the great powers dispersed. Tong Tian directly dragged Yun Ting back to Mount Kunlun and asked, "Tell me, what happened? Didn't you say you were staying behind with Duo Bao to watch the house? How did you suddenly end up at the Purple Firmament Palace?"
Hearing this, Yun Ting hurriedly explained, "Father, this... well, I don't know either. After you all left, I took a stroll around the Primordial Wilderness, and then the Dao Ancestor dragged me to the Purple Firmament Palace." After speaking, he rubbed his hands in annoyance. "Ah, what a loss. I forgot to ask the Dao Ancestor for a meeting gift."
His words made Laozi and Yuanshi burst into laughter. Stroking his beard, Laozi said to Yun Ting, "You still wanted a meeting gift... First, tell your eldest uncle why you thought of giving Hong Yun a gourd. Don't tell me it was because he's a Good Old Man who has always been kind to others."
Yun Ting laughed heartily. "Eldest Uncle, please help conceal the secrets of heaven."
Hearing this, Laozi acted at once, shrouding the Thatched Hut. Yun Ting directly took out the Ginseng Fruit and said, "I stole Ginseng Fruit from Wuzhuang Temple and pinned it on Zhunti... I found that some dust had settled upon my Dao heart, so I used that gourd to settle the karmic debt."
Yuanshi nodded upon hearing this. "Using a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure gourd to settle a karmic debt is fine, fine..."
At this moment, Duo Bao slowly held out his hand with a smile. "Junior Brother, how about sharing those Ginseng Fruit with your senior brothers? Not long ago, your senior brother even gave you a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure sword."
Yun Ting nodded and took out five Ginseng Fruit, handing them to Duo Bao. "Only five. There aren't any more."
Duo Bao nodded, thinking, Five will do. It's not bad. He then accepted them.
Next, Yun Ting also shared Ginseng Fruit with the Three Pure Ones. Looking at Yuanshi, he asked, "Second Uncle, you should have some Three Lights Divine Water, right?"
Yuanshi nodded. "What, do you want to borrow Three Lights Divine Water from me to plant the Gourd Vine?"
Yun Ting nodded. "Mm-hmm, that's right. I feel that if the gourds grown from it are enlightened, they should possess innate foundations. Then the seven Gourd Babies can count as my disciples too. How fun would that be?"
Yuanshi laughed heartily. "Fine, then I'll give you a bottle." As he spoke, he took out a jade bottle and handed it to Yun Ting.
After receiving the jade bottle, Yun Ting cupped his hands toward Tong Tian, Laozi, and Yuanshi in salute, then returned to the cave abode he had opened to plant gourds... As he planted them, he hummed, "Gourd Babies, Gourd Babies, seven flowers upon one vine... Wait, something's wrong. My cave abode doesn't have an array."
Mm, after planting the gourds, Yun Ting suddenly realized that there was no array here. If someone came to steal from him, it would be troublesome. The Innate Gourd Vine, Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, and Three Lights Divine Water were all peerless treasures.
With that thought, Yun Ting turned into a streak of light and returned to the Thatched Hut. He said to Tong Tian, "Father, my cave abode doesn't have an anti-theft array. The Gourd Vine, Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, and Three Lights Divine Water are all rare treasures... Can you help me arrange one? Otherwise, it won't be safe whenever I go out traveling."
Tong Tian laughed heartily. "Unsafe? What kind of joke is that? This is Mount Kunlun. Who would dare come here to steal? My son, don't worry, nothing will go wrong. If you truly can't rest easy, I'll teach you a move: go out and take in a disciple to watch the house for you. How about it?"
"Ding, task issued: travel the Primordial Wilderness and take in a disciple. Reward: **High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Mountain-splitting Axe**."
"Oh, never mind the task for now. Help me check Eldest Uncle's attributes. I feel like Eldest Uncle's trust level in me should already be enough to randomly copy an attribute."
Taishang Laojun, Foundation: Supreme Innate. Cultivation: Late Quasi-Saint. Attributes: Dao De Jing (Gold), Alchemy Grandmaster (Gold), Great Dao of Yin Yang (Purple), Leader of the Human Religion (Exclusive, unable to copy, not activated). Trust level: 79. Congratulations, Host, you just barely failed to draw it.
Within the system space, A Certain Lady began gloating.
"Damn it... System, can't you give me a chance... It's already 79. Can't you just count it as eighty? Round it up..." Yun Ting hurriedly whined and clung to the system.
"Fine, fine, I'll let you off this once... Extracting and copying Great Dao of Yin Yang (Gold)." Seeing Yun Ting's pitiful, coquettish expression, A Certain Lady gave in. Instantly, Yun Ting's mind became clear, and Yin Yang energy circulated endlessly around him. Laozi's eyes lit up when he saw this. "Third Brother, when did Yun Ting start cultivating the Great Dao of Yin Yang?"
Tong Tian looked utterly bewildered. "Huh? Great Dao of Yin Yang? I don't know... After I brought him back, I forgot to give him cultivation techniques. It seems you and Second Brother were the ones who gave him techniques..."
Yuanshi chuckled. "As expected of our nephew, his comprehension is simply outstanding. I gave him all the cultivation techniques of the Three Pure Ones. It isn't strange for him to comprehend the Great Dao of Yin Yang."
