"Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi!"

"It's actually the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi!"

Treasures of the Primordial World have their true names. The Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi hovered above the Blood Pool, emitting myriad rays of divine light and a thousand streams of auspicious colors. The golden light of merit illuminated the entire divine hall.

The Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi's primary function was offense, while the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda's was defense. One attacked, the other defended.

Just as Shi Yu stared at the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi in shock, the ruler suddenly flashed and flew directly towards him.

Shi Yu subconsciously reached out to block it. The ruler landed steadily in his palm, instantly connecting with his aura.

In an instant, a vast amount of information surged into Shi Yu's mind. He learned of the ruler's origin and divine abilities.

The Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi and the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda were both Postnatal Supreme Treasures of Merit. It was formed by the fusion of one-tenth of the Heaven-Opening Merit and the Heaven-Opening Profound Yellow Qi after Pangu created the heavens and earth.

"Postnatal Supreme Treasure!!"

Di Jiang, the Ancestor Witch, stepped forward, arriving beside Shi Yu. He looked at the ruler in Shi Yu's hand and said.

"Brother, this item was a gift from Father God..."

Houtu quickly interjected, as the temptation of a supreme treasure was too great.

"Hahahaha, Sister Houtu, you worry too much!" Di Jiang, the Ancestor Witch, burst into laughter and then patted Shi Yu's shoulder.

"What exactly happened here, Houtu?"

Zhu Jiuyin, the Time Ancestor Witch, could predict the future and observe the past with his eyes, but he could not ascertain what had happened here before.

Just now, while the treasure was emerging, he had carefully scanned his surroundings with his eyes, but an invisible force had hindered his investigation.

"Yeah, what was that about Father God creating the heavens and earth that you mentioned earlier?"

Ancestor Witch Houtu let out a long sigh and recounted everything from when Shi Yu heard the heartbeat to when the jade flew into the Blood Pool.

After she finished speaking, there was silence. The Ancestor Witches lowered their heads in thought.

"Perhaps Little Yu Zi has some connection with Father God..."

"That's impossible. He transformed from a Tai Xu Shui Yun He, not one of us Wu Clan. How could he have a connection with Father God..."

"..."

After a heated discussion, the Ancestor Witches couldn't come to any conclusions and simply gave up. They were truly not good at thinking.

"Little Yu Zi, after a unanimous vote among us, we've decided that since the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi has recognized you as its master, it belongs to you!" Zhu Jiuyin said.

"However, you owe our Wu Clan a great karmic connection, how about it!"

Their Wu Clan did not cultivate the primordial spirit, so manipulating spiritual treasures was already their limit, let alone supreme treasures.

According to Sister Houtu, it was Shi Yu's jade that connected with the Blood Pool, which summoned the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi. This indicated that Shi Yu had a connection with Father God.

Therefore, it was better to establish a karmic connection with him!

If they established a karmic connection with Shi Yu, then the Sanqing behind him would also inevitably establish a karmic connection with the Wu Clan...

"Then I accept the favor of all the Ancestor Witches. Shi Yu will certainly remember this kindness from the Wu Clan!" Shi Yu cupped his hands in a salute. He accepted this karmic connection!

Di Jiang, the Ancestor Witch, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good. Our Wu Clan has always acted with integrity. Since that is the case, the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi is yours."

Thus, after being a guest of the Wu Clan for a few days, Shi Yu continued his tea-delivering journey.

"Martial Uncle Houtu, there's no need to see me off~"

"Alright then, where are you headed next? I can use my divine abilities to send you!"

"I plan to go to Wuzhuang Temple. Mainly, I want to taste what Martial Uncle Zhen Yuanzi's Ginseng Fruit tastes like~~"

Shi Yu scratched his head sheepishly. Ginseng Fruit is also known as Cao Huan Dan and is one of the Top Ten Innate Spiritual Plants. He imagined it must be delicious.

"Greedy crane~"

Houtu smiled slightly, raised her hand, and a mass of earthy yellow light enveloped Shi Yu. After a moment, Shi Yu's eyes gradually cleared.

Wuzhuang Temple was located in a place of spiritual beauty. The temple gate was ancient, stone beasts guarded it, the walls were solid, the halls were exquisite, incense smoke curled upwards, pines and cypresses were evergreen, and it was tranquil and secluded.

"Martial Uncle Zhen Yuanzi really knows how to pick a place. This place is quite elegant,"

"If I were to build a dojo, I would definitely ask him to give me his opinion." As he spoke, Shi Yu had already arrived at the entrance of Wuzhuang Temple.

"Who goes there? State your name!"

Two Daoist Children walked out from the gate and blocked Shi Yu's path. They were likely Qingfeng and Mingyue from Wuzhuang Temple.

Qingfeng had delicate features and a slender build, wearing a moon-white Daoist robe, exuding an ethereal aura. Mingyue had a round face and round eyes, a slightly fuller figure, wearing a sapphire blue Daoist robe, appearing lively.

"These two cute little friends!"

Shi Yu pinched the faces of the two little Daoist Children. Seeing that the two little Daoist Children were about to react, he quickly stuffed a small gourd of pills into each of their hands.

"Alright, alright, no more teasing!"

"I am Shi Yu, a disciple of Taiqing from Kunlun Mountain!"

"Qingfeng, this is so sweet, try it~"

If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

"No, Mingyue, are you really eating it? Master said you can't accept things from outsiders."

"Oh no, Master's here!"

Qingfeng and Mingyue quickly hid the small gourd in their robes.

"These two Daoist children are still so gluttonous!"

Zhen Yuanzi, wearing a Purple Gold Crown and a light gold Daoist robe embroidered with runes, had a radiant complexion and a flowing long beard. He truly lived up to his title as the Ancestor of Earth Immortals.

"Martial Nephew Shi Yu, do you have any important business at Wuzhuang Temple?"

"Hey Zhen Yuanzi, can't I just visit Wuzhuang Temple when I have nothing else to do?"

"Isn't it natural for a junior to visit an elder?"

The one speaking was none other than the Great Philanthropist of the Primordial World, the Best Recipient of Primordial World's Gratitude, Old Ancestor Hong Yun.

Old Ancestor Hong Yun wore a vibrant red robe, his hair casually loose, his face ruddy. A gourd emitting spiritual light hung from his waist, presumably the one he obtained at Mount Buzhou.

"Hahahaha, that's true!"

"Then, Martial Nephew, please, let's go inside and talk!"

Led by Qingfeng and Mingyue, they arrived at the main hall of Wuzhuang Temple. A couplet was inscribed above the entrance:

"An immortal's abode of eternal life, a Daoist's dwelling as enduring as heaven!"

Upon entering the hall, Shi Yu respectfully bowed to Zhen Yuanzi and Old Ancestor Hong Yun. He then presented a jade box containing Enlightenment Tea:

"This is the Enlightenment Tea planted by my master. I've been specifically sent to deliver it for the two Martial Uncles to taste."

Zhen Yuanzi took the tea leaves and gently sniffed them, his eyes filled with surprise. "This tea is mellow and rich, brimming with spiritual energy. It is indeed an extraordinary item!"

Old Ancestor Hong Yun leaned in to take a look, nodding repeatedly.

Afterward, Shi Yu took out the tea set and Three Lights Divine Water, showcasing his superb tea-making skills. Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun praised him repeatedly after finishing their tea.

"It's impolite not to reciprocate a gift. I'll also give you some of Wuzhuang Temple's specialties!"

"Qingfeng, Mingyue, take your Martial Brother Shi Yu to the Ginseng Fruit Tree and pick some Ginseng Fruits for him to take."

"Yes, Master!"

On the way to the Ginseng Fruit Tree, Qingfeng rubbed his hands and said to Shi Yu, "Brother, do you still have those sweet pills?"

"Yeah, yeah, Brother~"

Mingyue smiled at Shi Yu. The two of them had accidentally eaten all the pills earlier; they were just too delicious, with their sweet and sour taste.

So, Shi Yu gave them two more gourds of pills, as he had made plenty and there was more than enough.

"Thank you, Brother! I'll knock down more Ginseng Fruits for you later!"

Qingfeng and Mingyue led Shi Yu to the Ginseng Fruit Tree. The tree had a thick trunk and lush branches and leaves, and the Ginseng Fruits on it faintly emanated auspicious light.

Qingfeng beckoned, and the Golden Striker flew into his hand. In a few swift moves, he knocked down five or six Ginseng Fruits, which fell into Mingyue's jade plate.

"So many!"

"Is this too much?"

Shi Yu felt a little embarrassed looking at the full plate of Ginseng Fruits, as they were from an Innate Spiritual Root. The pills he had given them were refined from ordinary spiritual fruits.

"Heh~"

"Since you're my senior brother, I'll tell you, we actually have a lot of these at Wuzhuang Temple~"

"Although Ginseng Fruits take three thousand years to bloom, three thousand years to bear fruit, and another three thousand years to mature, they've been planted for so many Yuan Cycles..."

Hearing this, Shi Yu finally understood. No wonder Old Ancestor Hong Yun had casually given away Ginseng Fruits on the Zixiao Palace plaza back then. Shi Yu had thought they weren't from his tree and he wouldn't care.

"So that's how it is. Can you knock down a few more for me then?"

"Hahahaha, Martial Nephew, you're so amusing~"

At this moment, Old Ancestor Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi, having finished their tea, arrived at the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

"Hehe, Martial Uncle, I was just joking. These few fruits are enough!"

Shi Yu waved his hand, and the purple gourd at his waist flew out, collecting the fruits from the plate.

"Martial Nephew, is this the last gourd from Mount Buzhou?"

"I didn't expect it to have such a use!"

Old Ancestor Hong Yun said, looking at the purple gourd in Shi Yu's hand. He then casually took out his own gourd.

"Fortunately, this gourd fell into my hands~"

"Martial Nephew, my gourd is called the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd. It can capture souls or release red sand to damage souls. It's extremely sinister."

Old Ancestor Hong Yun, this kind old man, possessed such a powerful artifact but had never used it...

"Indeed, Martial Uncle, you have a kind heart. But remember, the Primordial World is a place where the strong prey on the weak and is full of schemes. You'd best stay with Martial Uncle Zhen Yuanzi~"

Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi burst into laughter. "Hahaha, it's still Martial Nephew who understands best. My old friend is just too kind-hearted!"

As long as Hong Yun stayed within Wuzhuang Temple with Zhen Yuanzi, relying on Zhen Yuanzi's Great Array of Moral Coercion, even Saints would have to think twice.
