Upon hearing Luo Qing's words, the fierce look in the young girl West Queen Mother's eyes immediately vanished, replaced by a smile.

"So it's Fellow Luo Qing. This humble woman, Xihua, greets you."

Ignorance is no excuse. Since Fellow Luo Qing unintentionally entered my cave, it can be considered fate.

"Please come and have a chat, fellow Daoist, so that this fairy may entertain you properly."

"The Fairy of the Xihua Flower is indeed more suitable for the young girl than the West Queen Mother!" Luo Qing muttered to himself.

Faced with Fairy Xihua's invitation, Luo Qing hesitated slightly before nodding in acceptance.

Ultimately, he was too reckless this time, sneaking into someone's home.

Luo Qing cupped his hands and said, "Then I will trouble Fairy Xihua!"

"Come with me, fairy!"

The young girl Xihua, glanced at Luo Qing with a smile in her eyes, greeted him, and then turned and walked towards the place shrouded in the Dao Rhythm Mist.

As Fairy Xihua walked, the surrounding Dao Rhythm Mist immediately dispersed, revealing a narrow path.

Luo Qing was not afraid of any schemes or tricks this "Fairy Xihua" might have.

With a turn of his body, he landed on the island and caught up with Fairy Xihua in just a few steps, covering a thousand miles.

From the outside, the island Dao Rhythm Mist that stretches for miles around its central location.

After traveling about a hundred miles along the path shrouded in Mist, the view suddenly opened up ahead.

Compared to other parts of the Cave Heaven, the Spirit Qi in this core area is several times denser.

Moreover, this Earth Immortal trees and herbs, and magical springs gush forth from the ground.

The outer ring is Earth Continent covered with countless spiritual plants, while the inner ring is a small lake with a diameter of three hundred miles.

The most central place is a Lake Heart Immortal Mountain in the middle of the lake, covering an area of hundreds of square miles.

Upon arriving at this Jade Pool, Fairy Xihua smiled and explained to Luo Qing:

"I have named this place Jade Pool Immortal Realm, and the Cave Heaven outside is called Jade Pool Grotto-Heaven. I wonder what Fellow Luo Qing thinks?"

"Even the Hunyuan Immortal Realm is nothing special!"

Luo Qing gave a somewhat numb compliment, but his voice was full of envy.

Within this Jade Pool Immortal Realm, the Immortal Herbs and trees on the outer Earth Continent of land are one thing.

At first, Luo Qing didn't notice, but upon closer inspection, Luo Qing was startled.

Among the lush spiritual trees, herbs, and flowers, there were no fewer than ten Low-grade Innate Spiritual Root.

Three of them even reached the level of mid-grade Innate Spiritual Root.

Although they are only of medium to Low-grade Innate Spiritual Root, the quantity is still astonishing.

At least in Luo Qing's possession, besides the Netherworld Ghost Willow, he didn't have any other Innate Spiritual Root.

Looking further in, the small lake, with a diameter of three hundred miles, is even more remarkable.

In the lake water, golden sunlight, silver moonlight, and purple starlight flowed continuously.

"Three Lights Divine Water!"

The name of this divine water, renowned throughout the Primordial Wilderness, immediately came to Luo Qing's mind.

Knowing that this lake water was the famous Three Lights Divine Water, Luo Qing's expression changed when he looked at the small lake in front of him.

Holy crap, a lake with Three Lights Divine Water, isn't that quantity a bit too astonishing?

So much of the Three Lights Divine Water is openly displayed outside; what treasures must be hidden within the Central Immortal Mountain?

Luo Qing couldn't resist opening his Dao Eye and gazing at the immortal mountain in the center of the lake.

This mountain is not high, only a thousand feet high.

At a glance, nine Dao Fruit shadows appeared in the void of the immortal mountain.

In the illusory image of the fruit tree, nine yellow plums hang on the branches, and each plum is further divided into nine illusory images.

Within the illusory image, the characters "Huang Zhong" were written in Innate Rune runes.

"A top-tier Innate Spiritual Root, Yellow Middle Plum!"

Without a second thought, the name of this Spiritual Root immediately appeared in Luo Qing's mind.

Not only is the Yellow Middle Plum a top-tier Innate Spiritual Root, but the immortal mountain itself is also extraordinary, containing Five-Colored Divine Light.

This immortal mountain is actually the Five-Colored Divine Mountain, formed from the essence of the Innate Five-Colored Earth.

How much Innate Five-Colored Earth would it take to evolve into such a massive five-colored Five-Colored Divine Mountain?

Luo Qing's expression changed repeatedly.

Finally, he calmly withdrew his gaze, giving the "Fairy Xihua" in front of him a complicated look.

I never imagined that this Little West Queen Mother was such a wealthy woman.

Luo Qing toiled away in the Primordial Wilderness for several Kalpa Cycle, yet his entire fortune still couldn't compare to the assets others were born with.

People are more annoying when they compare themselves to others; gods are more annoying when they compare themselves to others.

It doesn't matter, it's unnecessary, it's not that serious...

Luo Qing comforted himself inwardly.

Fairy Xihua observed Luo Qing's changing expression closely, and finally let out a charming laugh.

Fairy Xihua smiled, turned around without saying a word, and stepped barefoot directly into the waters of Three Lights Lake.

Luo Qing's expression changed upon seeing this. Was this considered washing his feet with the Three Lights Divine Water?

And then, I couldn't help but think of taking a bath.

Luo Qing found it hard to look directly at the lake full of the Three Lights Divine Water!

This is such a cruel and wasteful act!

In the blink of an eye, Fairy Xihua's figure disappeared into the lake.

Fairy Xihua disappeared without a word, just as Luo Qing was hesitating whether to follow her up to the Lake Heart Immortal Mountain.

A Golden Immortal Mysterious Bird with the cultivation of a Golden Immortal flew out from the Five-Colored Divine Mountain and landed in front of Luo Qing, transforming into a fairy in a blue robe and skirt.

"This Little God, Qingluan, greets Divine Lord Luo Qing. Your Majesty requests your presence; please allow this Little God to guide Divine Lord!"

The goddess Qingluan, a Mysterious Bird, bowed to Luo Qing.

Luo Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly wondered if this person could be the future "Nine Heavens Xuan Nü".

His true thoughts were not outwardly expressed; Luo Qing simply said politely, "Thank you for your trouble, Goddess!"

With Luo Qing's approval, the Qingluan Goddess immediately raised a cloud beneath her feet, carrying the two of them to the summit of Five-Colored Divine Mountain.

At the summit of Five-Colored Divine Mountain, there grows a plum tree ten zhang tall with leaves that are greenish-yellow. This tree is the top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, the "Yellow Middle Plum".

Beneath the tree is a tea table carved from five-colored divine stones, with a Jade Cushion on each side.

When Qingluan led Luo Qing to the top of the mountain, Fairy Xihua was sitting cross-legged on one side of the tea table.

However, this "Fairy Xihua" was somewhat different from the one Luo Qing had seen before.

If the previous one could be considered a child version of the West Queen Mother, then this one is the adult version.

This "Fairy Xihua" looks about 80-90% like the loli version, but she lacks the tiger teeth and leopard tail, and is no different from a normal person.

He looks about eighteen or nineteen years old, but more mature.

She's lost some of her cuteness and playfulness, but gained an air of poise and composure.

The moment you sit there, an aura of supreme divine authority washes over you.

"Two incarnations with different appearances, what's going on? Could it be because the West Queen Mother hasn't been born yet?"

Seeing the adult version of "Fairy Xihua" sitting cross-legged under the Yellow Middle Plum Tree, Luo Qing felt a little puzzled.

Why does the West Queen Mother present two different faces to this fellow Daoist?

Upon seeing Luo Qing and Qingluan arrive, Fairy Xihua smiled.

"Qingluan, you may step back now!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Qingluan Phoenix Goddess bowed to the Fairy Xihua and then disappeared from the mountaintop.

After the Qingluan disappeared, Fairy Xihua invited Luo Qing to sit down.

"Daoist Luo, please have a seat!"

Luo Qing didn't stand on ceremony, nodded, and sat cross-legged opposite Fairy Xihua across the tea table.

On the way to the top of the mountain, Luo Qing also realized what was going on.

The West Queen Mother's invitation to him is probably not simple; she must have some purpose.

Otherwise, Luo Qing wouldn't believe that the West Queen Mother would so generously and unguardedly invite a strange immortal to enter her gestation ground.

Especially since the West Queen Mother herself had not yet been born.

At this point, the West Queen Mother should have been even more wary of the immortals and gods outside the palace.

So as soon as he sat down, Luo Qing didn't beat around the bush and asked directly:

"Fairy Xihua invited me here, surely not just to entertain me? Fairy, please speak frankly about your purpose!"
