Pixiu

Inside a wooden house in the valley.

Granny Huai called for someone to bring out melons, fruits, and vegetables.

He then personally carried the jade pot, serving tea to Zhou Yuan while expressing his gratitude:

"We, the entire Hundred Herbs Valley, are eternally grateful for your kindness, senior."

"Many young men in the valley wanted to express their gratitude in person, but I was afraid they would disturb the senior's intimacy, so I stopped them all."

Zhou Yuan drank a cup of spiritual tea.

The spiritual energy contained in this tea was nothing more than a drizzle to him, of little use.

But this tea leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth after tasting it.

The fragrances of plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums blend together to create a unique aroma.

Like a fresh rain in an empty mountain, it is refreshing and natural.

"Excellent tea!"

Zhou Yuan praised.

Upon hearing this, Granny Huai's brows relaxed, and her tone became more cheerful.

"So that the senior will know."

"This tea is made from the leaves and branches of plants harvested after the first rain of the year in the valley, and brewed using a unique method."

"The key lies in the original flavor, and the skill lies in the naturalness."

"There are also some Gentleman's Tea treasures in Hundred Herbs Valley. If you don't mind, please take them all with you."

"This is also our blessing."

Zhou Yuan nodded in agreement.

After three cups of tea.

He then asked directly:

"I observe a constant, pure energy swirling between the brows of each of you."

"The primordial spirit is imbued with the aura of merit."

"Where does this merit come from?"

Granny Huai understood.

It turns out that the senior had this question.

She's also a straightforward person.

"The Plant Spirits, their roots deeply embedded in the earth."

"Drawing upon the earth's energy to nourish one's cultivation."

"The earth's energy, including the turbid and malevolent energy, flows through the earth, and due to various reasons, there will always be times when it gets blocked."

"Once blocked, the underground spiritual veins and caves within a radius of a hundred miles will lose their circulation, gradually dry up, and eventually become dead lands."

Flow of air brings life; stagnation of air leads to death.

"We Plant Spirits are quite familiar with the earth's veins. As soon as we discover a blockage, we activate our roots to absorb impurities and clear the spiritual energy within the veins."

"This act benefits heaven and earth, and thus merit will be bestowed."

Zhou Yuan suddenly understood.

That's how it is.

"In this sense, the Plant Spirits are also part of the cycle of heaven and earth."

'And it's an extremely important link.'

Unlike the Water Essence cycle, this cycle regulates the earth's veins, promoting circulation beneath the Primordial Great Land.

However, this is only based on the existing resources that the Primordial World already possessed.

Rather than adding new products.

A flash of inspiration struck Zhou Yuan.

But in an instant, that glimmer of inspiration vanished without a trace.

He was not discouraged.

With just a quick calculation, the secrets of Heavenly Secrets are as clear as the lines on one's palm.

He glanced at Hundred Herbs Valley.

'I never imagined I would have such a strong connection with this place.'

'This opportunity has indeed come to us here.'

'However, the secrets of Heavenly Secrets are currently hidden, concealed and not revealed, and will require quite some time.'

Thinking about this...

Zhou Yuan took out a Jade Talisman.

"I will now drink your tea."

"I will then give you a Jade Talisman."

"If there is any danger in the valley, you can activate this Jade Talisman."

"I will arrive shortly."

Granny Huai accepted the Jade Talisman.

He was overjoyed.

Although her cultivation level was low, she had listened to the teachings at the temples of powerful patriarchs, and her insight was quite remarkable.

He knew that the Daoist priest in the green robe before him was no ordinary Taiyi.

At the very least, he is an Innate Dao Lord.

Now, with just one word from this person, I've suddenly gained a powerful backer.

Overjoyed, she bowed deeply to the ground.

"Thank you, senior."

"We will certainly worship this talisman and pray to it day and night."

When it looked up again.

The figure of the Daoist priest in the green robe was nowhere to be seen.

Even the Gentleman's Tea on the stone table had vanished without a trace.

A wisp of mist drifted by, like a dream.

Granny Huai seemed to be startled from a dream.

Only the Jade Talisman in his hand still retained warmth.

"It was like a long dream."

Zhou Yuan left Hundred Herbs Valley.

He then stopped wasting his energy on that fleeting glimmer of inspiration within his Primordial Spirit Consciousness Sea.

The Primordial Great World places great emphasis on cause and effect, and on destiny.

When fortune smiles, heaven and earth lend their strength; when fortune turns, even heroes are powerless.

Under the workings of the Heavenly Secrets, the development of all things follows a predictable pattern.

Since the Heavenly Secrets have been revealed, there may be a great opportunity here.

Zhou Yuan has done everything he could.

No amount of thinking about it will help.

Moreover, with his current cultivation level, he has already determined the path of the Great Dao.

So what if we miss some opportunities on our spiritual journey?

I will follow my own path, and one day I will see my true self.

After leaving Hundred Herbs Valley.

Zhou Yuan's speed then increased.

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand miles can be covered.

This day.

He suddenly had a premonition.

Stop in place.

Looking out into the void, tens of thousands of miles away.

Then one could see a Primordial Divine Mountain looming in and out of sight, towering majestically, stretching across hundreds of millions of miles, layer upon layer in the void.

Among them, there are even hidden caves that manifest, with billions of rays of light illuminating the ten directions of heaven and earth.

Zhou Yuan, with a sudden flash of inspiration, naturally understood.

The sacred mountain that manifested here is Wuyi Mountain.

"The Innate Grotto-heaven possesses a spirit."

"Only now have I revealed my true identity."

"Great kindness."

Zhou Yuan, with his clear and bright features, laughed heartily and instantly transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for Wuyi Mountain.

And at the moment it manifested in Wuyi Mountain.

Eight hundred miles away, a precious light shone brightly in a mountain cave.

A mythical Divine Beast is fast asleep.

That Divine Beast was incredibly strange, with a dragon's head, a horse's body, and unicorn's feet, resembling a lion.

Its fur flew in the wind, displaying a gray and white color.

It was just immersed in a beautiful dream, but was awakened by the commotion of Wuyi Mountain emerging from the earth.

"Which scoundrel dared to disturb my peace and quiet?"

He left the cave, grumbling and cursing.

The Divine Beast raised its head and looked up at the sky.

I was startled at first.

Then came ecstasy.

Their golden eyes instantly shone even brighter.

"It's actually Innate Grotto-heaven that has been born."

"This grotto-heaven is destined for me."

"It should all belong to me, your grandpa."

That's all.

The divine Divine Beast then rode on Auspicious Clouds and headed towards Wuyi Mountain.

When Zhou Yuan arrived at the foot of Mount Wuyi Mountain.

Then they saw Divine Beast with a dragon's head, a horse's body, and unicorn's feet, resembling a lion, wandering at the foot of the mountain.

There were also several still-warm corpses of Great Demons around it.

They saw a Daoist in a green robe appear in the void.

The Divine Beast's eyes lit up:

"Master Wu Na, are you versed in the art of formations?"

Zhou Yuan looked thoughtfully at the beast before him.

So that's it!

The Divine Beast Pixiu!

This auspicious beast, also known as Heavenly Fortune, feeds on wealth from all directions, swallowing everything without excreting, thus attracting wealth and treasures, only taking in and never giving out.

There are Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin into the In Wuyi Mountains.

The beast's arrival here, guided by its own will, was not without reason.

"Although my cultivation is lacking, I do have some expertise in the various arts."

"Has a rudimentary understanding of formations."

Upon hearing this, the Pixiu's eyes lit up, and its golden pupils darted around.

He smiled warmly:

"Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist."

"I have a business deal to discuss with you, fellow Daoist."

The Daoist in the green robe raised an eyebrow and smiled:

"Tell me about it!"
