Since it belonged to Qin Yun, Qin Yun could decide what to do with it.
The system's reward was the complete Method of Slaying the Three Corpses. Well, that was precisely what Hongjun Preaching would teach.
If Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi went to hear the preaching, then there would be little point in Qin Yun giving them this Dao method.
Qin Yun could keep this Dao method and comprehend it himself.
As for the Origin of Great Dao Laws of Strength, this Origin of Strength could also be kept by Qin Yun himself.
Neither Hongyun nor Zhenyuanzi cultivated the Great Dao of Strength.
The Great Dao of Strength was the mightiest of the Three Thousand Great Daos.
With strength, one could shatter ten thousand laws!
Pangu had cultivated the Great Dao of Strength and Proved Dao with Strength.
Proving Dao with Strength could be considered the most orthodox method of proving the Dao.
Qin Yun also intended to cultivate the Great Dao of Strength.
He would keep these two Origins of Strength for himself.
As for the Five-Needle Pine, one of the Ten Innate Spiritual Roots, it too was a fine treasure, being an innate spiritual root.
He would keep this innate spiritual root and slowly grow it.
The five hundred thousand years of Magic Power seemingly could not be given to others either. After all, it was Magic Power, so he would keep it for himself.
Five hundred thousand years of Magic Power!
The three continued drinking tea and eating pastries.
"Mountain God, I heard from the spirits in the Temple that three Daoists came to the Temple yesterday. Were those three the Three Pure Ones of Pangu?" Hongyun asked, glancing at Qin Yun.
Hearing this, Qin Yun recalled yesterday's events and said, "Indeed."
"They came to this Temple..." Zhenyuanzi began.
"That Primordial Beginning Daoist spoke rudely, so I taught him a small lesson," Qin Yun said blandly.
At those words, Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi frowned.
Primordial Beginning Daoist... was Jade Pure Primordial Beginning among the Three Pure Ones.
They had heard that this Primordial Beginning Daoist cared greatly for face, and that he relied on his identity as Pangu Orthodoxy, giving others an impression of arrogance and haughtiness.
"Why would they come to this Temple?" Hongyun asked.
Qin Yun smiled faintly and said, "That Heavenly Connection Daoist came to my Temple a hundred years ago."
Heavenly Connection Daoist had come to this Temple...
Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi could not help but frown again.
Could it be that Heavenly Connection had also come to this Temple to offer incense?
Surely not...
Heavenly Connection was one of the Three Pure Ones. Why would he come to this Temple to offer incense?
But then again, why had Hongyun come to this Temple to offer incense?
Hongyun had only stumbled upon this Temple by chance. Seeing the other spirits offer incense, he had followed local custom and simply offered a stick of incense. That was all.
Could that Heavenly Connection Daoist have done the same?
"He offered incense to me as well, and I met with him," Qin Yun said.
"Heavenly Connection Daoist... how could that be..." Zhenyuanzi said.
Zhenyuanzi found it difficult to believe that Heavenly Connection Daoist would come to this Temple to offer incense.
Qin Yun smiled and said, "I was the one who told him to offer incense."
"I told him that if he offered incense to me, I would give him something. Afterward, he did," Qin Yun said with a wave of his hand.
Hongyun looked at Qin Yun and thought, This Mountain God... is he this kind to everyone?
He casually told people to offer incense to him, then casually gave them things...
Hongyun had thought this Mountain God was only this kind to him...
After all, the things this Mountain God gave away were truly exceptional!
Such fine things should not be handed out to others so casually.
At that thought, Hongyun could not help feeling a tiny pang of disappointment.
"May I ask, Mountain God, what... did you give him?" Zhenyuanzi asked.
Hongyun also looked at Qin Yun.
Qin Yun said, "Nothing much. Just two Great Dao Origins."
Hearing that, Hongyun felt another pang of disappointment in his heart.
Hongyun thought, It seems this Mountain God... is not only so kind to me. He is just as kind... to others...
Hongyun had thought Qin Yun had only given him Great Dao Origin. He never expected that he had given Great Dao Origin to others as well...
Sigh... Just thinking about it left him with an inexplicable twinge of disappointment.
"Mountain God, you..." Zhenyuanzi looked at Qin Yun, utterly stunned.
Just who was this Mountain God? How could he so casually produce something like Great Dao Origin?
Wasn't such a thing supposed to be so scarce that it was practically nonexistent, something one could only encounter by chance and never seek?
Yet this Mountain God could take out Great Dao Origin whenever he pleased...
This...
That was way too incredible!
Qin Yun merely smiled softly and said nothing.
"Mountain God, that Primordial Beginning Daoist... how is he now?" Zhenyuanzi asked.
Qin Yun smiled. "He was seriously injured and has already gone back."
Seriously injured...
No way...
He really had been seriously injured?
Those spirits outside had said that the Daoist had been badly wounded by the Mountain God, even losing an arm...
Some of the spirits on the mountain had also seen Primordial Beginning's bedraggled departure from the Mountain God Temple. Afterward, the news had spread throughout the mountains.
"Mountain God... You..." Zhenyuanzi said.
Zhenyuanzi felt that this Mountain God was simply too powerful!
He could even suppress the Three Pure Ones of Pangu!
Though he had only suppressed Primordial Beginning, all Three Pure Ones had been present at the time. As the Jade Pure among the Three Pure Ones of Pangu, Primordial Beginning's other two brothers would surely have stood by him. Yet neither of them had stepped forward for Primordial Beginning, which showed that this Mountain God was truly formidable!
"The Three Pure Ones of Pangu are famed powerhouses in the Primordial Wilderness. Whenever Hongyun and I see them, we have to give way three parts..." Zhenyuanzi said.
"I never imagined you would be so powerful, Mountain God..." Zhenyuanzi said.
Hongyun nodded from the side as well.
Qin Yun smiled and said nothing.
Qin Yun could hardly say that within this temple, even Saints would be suppressed by the temple's Rules, much less the Three Pure Ones of Pangu, who had yet to become Saints.
Moreover, the Three Pure Ones of Pangu were still relatively weak at present, far from the realm of Saints they would attain in later generations.
"Mountain God, you're truly incredible!" Hongyun could not help but exclaim.
"Mountain God, then... what about Heavenly Connection Daoist?" Zhenyuanzi asked.
Since Heavenly Connection Daoist had received Qin Yun's favor, what had his reaction been?
"As for Heavenly Connection, he was caught in the middle and put in a very difficult position," Qin Yun said.
Upon hearing this, Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun could understand.
After all, Heavenly Connection Daoist had received Qin Yun's favor—Qin Yun had given him two Great Dao Origins—while Primordial Beginning was Heavenly Connection Daoist's second brother.
He truly was caught between a rock and a hard place.
"Sigh, if Primordial Beginning Daoist hadn't done this..." Zhenyuanzi said, feeling somewhat regretful.
After all, this Mountain God was genuinely incredible! And so generous with his gifts!
If one could latch onto this Mountain God, then even a casual gift from him would be exceedingly good!
Take Zhenyuanzi right now, for instance.
Zhenyuanzi could not help feeling fortunate that he had burned incense in the temple earlier.
"That fellow Primordial Beginning is proud and arrogant. I doubt he would be willing to burn incense in my little temple," Qin Yun said.
"If he refuses to burn incense, that's truly his loss!" Zhenyuanzi said.
Hongyun also found that reasonable and nodded unconsciously.
