The Twelve Ancestral Witches' cultivation grounds could also be considered prime Blessed Lands, but compared to this place, they were simply worlds apart!

Just the spiritual energy here alone was so dense, with so many Dao rhythms intertwining, that it surpassed the Twelve Ancestral Witches' grounds by tens of thousands of streets!

Not to mention that there were so many rare treasures here!

Qin Yun had been in this world for over a hundred years. Over those hundred-plus years, the system had rewarded him with many things, so he had accumulated quite a few rare treasures as well.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches stared at the grand hall in disbelief.

Qin Yun smiled and said, "Let's go sit over there."

"Mountain God..." one of the Ancestral Witches said, looking at Qin Yun.

"What is it?" Qin Yun looked at him.

"Your hall is truly magnificent!" the Ancestral Witch blurted out in praise.

"It really is magnificent!"

"It's far grander than ours!"

The Ancestral Witches could not help nodding.

"The Mountain God truly is extraordinary! No wonder you are so generous with your gifts!" Dijiang said, his tone brimming with admiration.

"Mountain God, you truly are a true person who does not reveal himself!"

"Mountain God, thank you for giving Houtu so many wonderful things!"

"For Houtu to meet you, Mountain God, she truly is blessed!"

The Ancestral Witches praised him without restraint, completely forgetting how they had previously declared that if this Mountain God turned out to be a fraud, they would smash this Mountain God Temple.

Qin Yun merely smiled and said nothing. He led them into a side hall and invited them to sit.

Qin Yun sat down as well.

At that moment, two maidservants brought over tea and pastries.

The two maidservants were Lan Shan and Taoyin.

Taoyin was a Flower Spirit transformed from a peach blossom. Qin Yun had taken her in as a maidservant, and Taoyin had been willing.

Qin Yun had also given her the name Taoyin, and she was quite pleased with it.

Lan Shan and Taoyin set down the tea and pastries, then poured tea for them.

Houtu looked at the two maidservants, then at Qin Yun.

When Houtu had come here a hundred years ago, she had not seen any maidservants, nor had she seen anyone else.

Yet now, there were two maidservants...

A trace of displeasure appeared on Houtu's face, but she said nothing.

Once the tea had been poured, Lan Shan and Taoyin withdrew.

Qin Yun smiled and said, "Have some tea."

The Ancestral Witches nodded as well.

The tea was wonderfully fragrant, its aroma lingering in the air and refreshing the heart and mind.

This was not Enlightenment Tea, but it was still excellent tea—delicious and richly aromatic.

The Ancestral Witches all picked up their cups and drank, finding the tea exceptionally good.

"Today, the twelve Ancestral Witches came to my temple to offer incense. I am truly very happy. Thank you all for coming to offer incense at my temple," Qin Yun said with a smile.

Houtu smiled. "Mountain God, you have been so good to me. It is only right that I come offer you incense."

"You also said that I should bring more people here, so I brought my brothers and sisters," Houtu said with a smile, her expression innocent and radiant, utterly lovely.

Qin Yun looked at Houtu, smiled softly at her, and gave a slight nod in agreement.

"Mountain God, do you like my younger sister? You've given her so many good things..." one Ancestral Witch said bluntly.

The other Ancestral Witches shared the same thought.

If he did not like her, why would he casually give her so many good things?

At the Ancestral Witch's words, Houtu immediately felt too embarrassed to face anyone. She became somewhat bashful and awkward.

Why bring this up out of nowhere?

Qin Yun looked at that Ancestral Witch, unsure how to answer for a moment.

"Mountain God, if you really like my younger sister..." another Ancestral Witch began.

Hearing that, Houtu said, "Brother... don't say any more..."

Houtu waved her hand, signaling for her brother to stop.

Houtu looked rather shy at that moment.

Naturally, the Ancestral Witches could see it too.

Qin Yun was feeling a little awkward now, thinking, I only gave her a few things...

"It's obvious—my little sister is interested in you too, Mountain God..." one of the Ancestral Witches said.

Houtu's face instantly flushed red despite herself.

Gritting her teeth, she said, "Brother, don't talk nonsense..."

The Ancestral Witches all smiled despite themselves, saying nothing.

The Ancestral Witches were all frank and straightforward by nature. They said whatever was on their minds and rarely hid anything.

That was why they had said those words just now.

Houtu was still rather embarrassed.

Qin Yun said, "Houtu offered incense to me. It's only right that I give her something in return."

Only right...

Damn!

She had merely offered a single stick of incense, and he gave her something so good—how was that only right?

"Mountain God, we offered incense to you too. Will you give us something that good as well?" Dijiang raised a brow and said.

At those words, all the Ancestral Witches looked at Qin Yun. They wanted to see how he would answer.

"Our little sister Houtu offered incense to you, and you gave her something so good. What about us? We offered incense to you too—what will you give us?" Xuanming said, also raising a brow.

Qin Yun looked at them, smiled faintly, and said, "Since you offered incense to me, naturally I have good things for you as well."

"Oh! What good things?" The Ancestral Witches looked at Qin Yun, wanting to know what he would give them.

Qin Yun smiled again. "Great Dao Origin, Pangu Blood Essence, and Soul Fragments."

Hearing that, the Ancestral Witches could not help but frown.

Weren't those the very things Qin Yun had given Houtu?

Qin Yun was willing to give those things to them too?

Was Qin Yun really that generous?

But then again, did Qin Yun even have such things?

Could he really produce Great Dao Origin, Pangu Blood Essence, and Soul Fragments?

Damn! He wasn't just saying it for fun, was he?

He wasn't trying to fool them, was he...

The Ancestral Witches all raised their brows. They seemed rather unconvinced by Qin Yun.

"Can you really produce them?" one of the Ancestral Witches said.

"Exactly! Great Dao Origin and Pangu Blood Essence are treasures that can only be encountered by chance, never sought after. Do you have that many?"

"Mountain God, could it be that you're deceiving us?"

"Mountain God, if you can't produce them, we won't blame you. After all, these things are indeed extremely precious. It's perfectly normal if you can't produce them. But don't deceive us."

"That's right! We Twelve Ancestral Witches weren't raised on lies. There's no need for you to deceive us."

None of the Ancestral Witches believed Qin Yun's words.

Even Houtu did not quite believe Qin Yun.

It was not that Houtu did not trust Qin Yun. Rather, did Qin Yun truly possess so much Great Dao Origin, Pangu Blood Essence, and so many Soul Fragments?

A hundred years ago, when Qin Yun had been able to give those things to Houtu, she had already found it utterly unbelievable.

Could Qin Yun still produce them now?

And there were the Twelve Ancestral Witches—twelve of them!

"Mountain God, if you don't have..." Houtu looked at Qin Yun and spoke softly to him.
