Zhen Yuanzi's Ginseng Fruit Tree was an incredible treasure.
The Ginseng Fruit ripened once every thirty thousand years, and each time, the tree bore only thirty fruits.
Countless people wanted to get their hands on even one Ginseng Fruit.
Some would even offer countless treasures in exchange, but only a tiny handful ever managed to get one.
Those lucky few were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
"I never expected Jieyin to be you. I have to say, your Western lands are really lucky."
Nuwa spoke, her face showing a hint of envy.
"Exactly. Your Western lands are so barren, yet two of you were chosen at once—though one of them got kicked out."
Di Jun wore a strange expression.
"I can't tell whether you're praising me or insulting me."
Jieyin appeared and joked.
All things considered, he was in a pretty good mood.
Though he and Zhunti were very close, they shared almost everything.
But only those who entered the Chat Group had the chance to answer questions and receive rewards.
Even if they were as close as brothers, there were some special opportunities they obviously wouldn't give up for each other.
So naturally, being able to enter the Chat Group himself was the best outcome.
"So this is the so-called Chat Group? How remarkable."
Zhen Yuanzi, who had just joined, spoke up.
"Old man, when will your Ginseng Fruit ripen? I've already prepared what you asked for. I'm just waiting for our next exchange."
Houtu spoke up.
The others all stared intently at the Chat Group.
They were all very interested in the Ginseng Fruit, to say the least.
"Don't rush, don't rush. It'll be at least another ten thousand years."
Hearing that they had to wait another ten thousand years, the group fell silent. Normally, ten thousand years might pass in the blink of an eye.
But now that they had the Chat Group, they felt each day passing.
They just hoped it wouldn't go by too slowly.
"All right, now that everyone's here, let's start the questions."
Hong Yun's voice rang out. He was genuinely starting to lose patience.
The two people behind him were still chasing him.
One was East Prince Gong, and the other was Kunpeng.
They put him under tremendous pressure.
What infuriated Kunpeng most was that he still hadn't caught up with the gravely wounded Hong Yun.
More importantly, he was growing anxious. The next question was about to appear, and he still hadn't obtained the Primordial Qi he needed.
After this, he might not get another chance.
And so far, Kunpeng hadn't answered a single question correctly.
If he got the next one wrong as well, he might be kicked out of the group chat.
Wouldn't that mean he'd lose any chance of getting it again?
"Exactly, Group Owner. I'm also eager to get started. I've heard about the Chat Group for a long time, but never had the chance to join."
"Now, of course, I'd like to see its wonders for myself."
Zhen Yuanzi spoke with a genial smile.
As a new member, he couldn't see the chat history above.
Naturally, he had no idea that Hong Yun was in danger.
He simply wanted to see what surprises the Chat Group had in store.
Back in the Western Teachings, Zhunti was so upset he could have spat blood.
But there was nothing he could do.
He'd wanted to see if he could win back everything he'd lost earlier.
He hadn't expected the system to give him no chance at all and kick him out outright.
Fortunately, there was still one more person who might be chosen.
Though he was very curious, all he could do now was wait for news from Jieyin.
He already knew that Jieyin had entered the Chat Group. The only difference, as far as he could tell, was that he couldn't get another chance at good fortune.
Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Court,
Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who had been standing beside Di Jun, wore an angry expression.
"Why is my luck so bad? I didn't even get a single question wrong."
"All right, Brother Eastern Emperor. Given how close we are, whatever happens in there, I'll tell you about it."
Di Jun didn't seem to care much. Instead, he cheerfully addressed Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Seeing this, Eastern Emperor Taiyi had no choice but to nod helplessly.
But he was still seething, and didn't want to stay in the Heavenly Court any longer.
So he suggested going out for a walk.
Di Jun was preparing to answer the next question first and didn't pay much attention. He simply let Eastern Emperor Taiyi leave.
The next moment,
as if the system had sensed something, everyone received today's first question.
[What is the name of Eastern Emperor Taiyi's treasure, the Eastern Emperor Bell?]
Everyone's eyes widened when they saw the question.
Hadn't the earlier questions all been about events? Why was it about a treasure now?
And this treasure seemed to be connected to Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
More importantly, Eastern Emperor Taiyi had just been kicked out of the group chat.
Now a question about him appeared. Was this deliberate?
At the same time, though, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
If Eastern Emperor Taiyi were still in the group chat, he'd be the only one who could answer this question correctly.
What was the name of the Eastern Emperor Bell?
Wasn't it the Eastern Emperor Bell? Had Eastern Emperor Taiyi renamed it after obtaining it?
That had to be it. Otherwise, there'd be no reason to ask the question.
Di Jun's eyes widened too.
Only when he turned around to look for Eastern Emperor Taiyi did he realize he was already gone.
Taiyi had just said he was going for a walk, and Di Jun hadn't even tried to stop him.
He'd completely missed an opportunity.
Even Di Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's close friend, didn't know the answer.
After all, in their eyes, a treasure's name didn't matter.
Its function and power were what mattered.
Who cared what a treasure was called?
It was just a name.
Silence once again filled the group chat.
Kunpeng and Hong Yun looked at one another, and both fell silent. The reason was simple.
Neither of them knew the answer.
Hong Yun, however, thought it sounded a little familiar. He liked to wander about and never stayed in one place for long.
So he had a passing knowledge of all sorts of things in the world.
But there was no time to think it through, since he was still being hunted.
"Huh? Come on, today's question is already easy enough. Are you telling me none of you can answer it?"
"If that's really the case, don't blame me for what happens next."
Qin Feng had just found a place to hide when he spoke up.
He looked utterly confused.
As it happened, he knew the answer to the question the system had posed today.
That was why he sounded so confident, though he was also a little anxious.
If nobody answered, that meant he'd lose his reward too. Who wouldn't be worried about losing the benefits?
