Passing Hong Yun the Technique and Origin

"Hong Yun, come sit," Qin Yun said with a slight smile.

With a thought, Qin Yun made a chair appear beside him. He had brought it over using a simple telekinetic spell.

Qin Yun had been in this world for ten years, so he could still manage these little spells.

Hearing Qin Yun call him by name, Hong Yun was stunned.

"Y-You know who I am?" Hong Yun asked in surprise.

Qin Yun nodded and looked at him. "I'm truly glad you came to my temple to offer incense."

Hong Yun looked at him. He didn't seem hostile, but Hong Yun still didn't go over.

"How about I teach you some Dao Arts? That way, your offering incense to me won't have been in vain," Qin Yun said.

Hong Yun was shocked to hear this.

"Hong Yun, from your cultivation, I'd say you're at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, but you haven't broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm yet," Qin Yun said again.

Hong Yun was once more astonished.

Hong Yun's cultivation really was at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. He had yet to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

"I have a few good things here. I'll give them to you. They can help you break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm—and help you achieve a better breakthrough," Qin Yun said.

When one broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the Three Flowers appeared above one's head. The more petals they had, the brighter one's prospects.

In the Primordial World, the Three Flowers could bloom to a maximum of twelve petals when breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Very few could bloom twelve petals. They were practically one in a hundred million.

It was said that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had achieved a Twelve-Petal Flower Bloom.

In the Primordial World, Hongjun seemed to be the only one whose Three Flowers had bloomed to twelve petals.

No one else—not even the Three Pure Ones—had achieved a Twelve-Petal Flower Bloom.

A Nine-Petal Flower Bloom already meant Sage Potential. A Twelve-Petal Flower Bloom was perfection.

Judging by Hong Yun's current cultivation, if he broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, his Three Flowers would probably bloom to seven petals.

A Seven-Petal Bloom was already quite good, but if one could improve, then naturally, the more improvement, the better.

Who wouldn't want to improve?

Hong Yun looked at Qin Yun, thinking that he seemed to be joking.

Even if Hong Yun had offered incense in the temple, all he had done was offer incense.

He had offered it simply and casually. He hadn't knelt, bowed, or performed any kind of ceremony. He had just put the incense into the burner—and hadn't even given it much thought. He'd simply offered some incense.

Hong Yun was a mighty figure in his own right. Offering incense at an ordinary Mountain God Temple in some nameless mountain was already a great concession on his part!

"I have a cultivation technique and divine ability called the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique. I'll pass it on to you now," Qin Yun said.

He didn't hold back, and directly brought out the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique that the system had just rewarded him with.

Items rewarded by the system were stored in its inventory and could be taken out at any time.

A scroll appeared in Qin Yun's hand, with the four large characters "Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique" written on it.

The scroll gleamed brilliantly, Dao Patterns flowing across it. Just looking at it gave one a sense of its profound mysteries.

Hong Yun was utterly stunned at the sight.

The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique was an unparalleled cultivation technique that focused on training the physical body.

Hong Yun had been born from a red cloud and focused on cultivating his Primordial Spirit. He basically didn't train his physical body, and didn't have a technique for doing so.

His Primordial Spirit, however, was well cultivated.

Still, Hong Yun had wanted a technique for cultivating his physical body.

"Th-This really is the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique?" Hong Yun asked, unable to believe it.

Qin Yun nodded. "Of course."

Something produced by the system couldn't possibly be fake.

"I'll pass this technique on to you now. Take it," Qin Yun said.

Qin Yun was passing Hong Yun the technique not only because Hong Yun had offered incense to him.

Hong Yun's offering was merely a connection.

After Hong Yun offered incense to him, he became one of Qin Yun's believers. If that believer cultivated some technique, comprehended some Great Dao, or mastered some divine ability, Qin Yun would benefit as well.

Simply put, whenever his believers gained something, Qin Yun would receive a corresponding benefit.

Since that was the case, Qin Yun naturally had to invest in Hong Yun!

Hong Yun was one of the top mighty figures in the Primordial Wilderness, with an exceptionally deep Origin Foundation. Where else could Qin Yun find such a good believer?

Over the past ten years, the beings who had come to offer incense at the temple were only the Mountain Spirits and Wild Monsters living nearby. They were all very ordinary.

As a result, Qin Yun's gains over the past ten years had been ordinary too.

Hong Yun looked at Qin Yun, unable to believe he would pass such a precious technique on to him...

The next moment, Hong Yun found himself kneeling. He reached out with both hands to receive the unparalleled technique, the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.

"M-Many thanks, Mountain God, for passing on the technique! I, Hong Yun, will never forget your kindness for as long as I live!" Hong Yun said gratefully.

Qin Yun looked at him and gently shook his head. "You don't need to make such a grand gesture."

As he spoke, Qin Yun placed the scroll in Hong Yun's hands.

"Many thanks, Mountain God!" Hong Yun thanked him again. The next moment, he bowed down to the ground.

He was none other than the dignified Ancestor Hong Yun! Though he looked young, he was still an old ancestor, a figure of that stature!

And now he was kneeling before an unknown Mountain God...

Th-This would be utterly astonishing if word got out!

"I have something else here: the Origin of the Great Dao Law of Clouds. Take it," Qin Yun said.

"You were the first red cloud in the Primordial World to attain the Dao. The Great Dao of Clouds should suit you perfectly, so it would be very beneficial for you to take this and use it to comprehend and cultivate," Qin Yun said.

Qin Yun took two Cloud Origins out of the system inventory and handed them to Hong Yun.

The system had rewarded him with three Cloud Origins, but there was no need to give all three to Hong Yun. He would give him two for now.

Sometimes, it was better to give things gradually.

Hong Yun was once again deeply shocked.

Hong Yun had been born from a red cloud, and the Great Dao he cultivated was also the Great Dao of Clouds. For him, the Cloud Origin was practically as precious as his own life!

Comprehending the Great Dao wasn't easy. Having a Great Dao Origin would be incredibly useful!

"Mountain God, your kindness... I, Hong Yun... can hardly repay you..." Hong Yun remained on his knees, his head bowed low to the ground.

He didn't even care whether the things Qin Yun had given him were real. Right now, he was simply overwhelmed with gratitude.

Qin Yun smiled. "If you feel you can't repay me, then come offer incense at my temple more often. And bring more people here to offer incense, too."

"The more people, the better. And it'd be even better if they were highly cultivated and capable," Qin Yun added.

Hong Yun had thought Qin Yun would ask for something impossibly difficult. He never expected his request to be so simple...
