Qin Yun had been here for ten years, and many of the things here had been exchanged from the System Space using Incense Value.
For example: salt, seasonings, spirit fruits, spirit herbs, spirit roots...
In short, whether or not something existed in the Primordial World, Qin Yun could exchange Incense Value for it in the System Space—as long as it was available there.
So Qin Yun had lived quite comfortably here for the past ten years.
Qin Yun took the salt and sprinkled some over the grilled fish. In an instant, the fish smelled even better.
The grilled fish was plump and tender. The spiritual energy here was abundant, the environment was excellent, and everything here was wonderful. The vegetation was lush, and the animals and fruits grew well, too.
Now the fish was ready. Qin Yun took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and tasted delicious.
Hong Yun had received the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique and two Cloud Origins, and he was very pleased. He found a quiet place and went into seclusion.
He secluded himself to comprehend the technique.
As for the two origins, he would find an opportunity to refine them later.
He would take things one step at a time. There was no need to rush.
As for Hongjun Preaching, Hong Yun still hadn't made up his mind about whether to go to Purple Heaven Palace to listen.
However, Qin Yun had said that he could go if he wanted to listen. It wasn't as if he couldn't go; he just had to be careful.
Hong Yun thought it over and decided, I'll think about that later.
After all, Hongjun Preaching wouldn't take place for another thousand years. There was still plenty of time.
Although some beings had already set off for Purple Heaven Palace, Hong Yun wouldn't need a thousand years to get there.
The Primordial World was vast, but if one's strength was sufficient, one could still reach a particular place fairly quickly.
Hong Yun settled down and focused on comprehending the technique.
Time passed slowly, and the next day arrived.
Today, a Daoist came to the Mountain God Temple. Looking at the temple, he found it rather strange.
The Mountain God Temple had been built deep in an unknown mountain, yet so many Mountain Spirits and Wild Monsters came here to offer incense. They all looked remarkably devout.
"Fellow Daoist, you look unfamiliar... Are you a spirit from nearby?" A spirit walked over to the Daoist and spoke to him.
The Daoist looked at the spirit. The spirit smiled and continued, "Fellow Daoist, this Mountain God Temple is very efficacious. Why don't you go in and offer some incense, too?"
The spirit was also a believer in the temple. As a believer, he couldn't help but promote it from time to time. Even without Qin Yun telling them to, the believers would naturally do this.
It was an unspoken rule of the temple.
As believers, they couldn't help but promote the temple.
Otherwise, how would they gather more followers?
The Daoist found it a little strange. He had only stumbled across this place by chance. He'd seen a temple and grown curious, but he hadn't planned to go in and offer incense.
"Ever since I started offering incense at this temple, my cultivation has improved faster than before!" A spirit patted his chest and spoke as if showing off.
There really were many benefits to offering incense at this temple.
Even when Qin Yun didn't appear to give his believers guidance, they could still stumble upon many benefits on their own.
The Daoist looked at the temple, unconvinced that it was really so miraculous.
Just offering incense could make one's cultivation improve faster...
That had to be a psychological effect!
"Fellow Daoist, why don't you go in and offer some incense, too?" another spirit said, brimming with enthusiasm.
These spirits had all cultivated to enlightenment in the mountains. They were relatively simple and honest, and happy to share anything good.
The Daoist looked at them and thought it over. In the end, he actually stepped toward the temple.
He hadn't planned to go in and offer incense, only to take a look.
Besides, this Daoist was no ordinary person. His Origin Foundation was extremely deep. How could he casually offer incense to someone else?
And this was only an obscure Mountain God Temple.
The Daoist entered the temple and immediately felt that it was peaceful inside. The atmosphere also calmed his mind.
The spirits were offering incense. The Daoist merely watched from the side.
"Fellow Daoist, aren't you going to offer incense?" a Mountain Spirit asked him.
The Mountain Spirit looked like a human, too. He had taken human form.
The Daoist shook his head to indicate that he wasn't going to offer incense.
Although he felt at peace in the temple and couldn't help but feel reverence for it, whether or not to offer incense was still up to him.
The temple wouldn't force anyone to offer incense.
The Daoist looked around, then prepared to leave.
At that moment, in the Inner Space of the temple, a system notification rang in Qin Yun's mind: [Ding! A Person of Great Luck has entered the temple. The host may inspect them.]
A Person of Great Luck...
Could it be... Hong Yun?
Had Hong Yun come back?
As he wondered, Qin Yun waved his hand, and the scene inside the temple appeared before him.
Besides a few spirits who often came to offer incense, there was also an unfamiliar Daoist in the temple.
The Daoist wore a dark gray robe and looked to be in his twenties.
Information about the Daoist surfaced in Qin Yun's mind.
The Daoist's name was Tongtian. He was one of the Three Pure Ones, born from Pangu's Primordial Spirit. His Origin Foundation was exceptionally deep, and his cultivation was extremely powerful.
Qin Yun stared at the Daoist in disbelief.
He... he was actually Tongtian...
The future Sect Master Tongtian had actually come to his Mountain God Temple...
Tongtian hadn't offered incense, and now he was about to leave.
Qin Yun's thoughts stirred, and he called out, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian! Please wait!"
Tongtian hadn't offered incense to Qin Yun, so he couldn't become one of Qin Yun's believers.
Faced with such an impressive Person of Great Luck as Tongtian, Qin Yun naturally wanted to keep him if he could.
Qin Yun's voice went directly into Tongtian's mind.
As the master of the temple, Qin Yun had the power to speak with anyone who entered it, sending his voice directly into their mind.
Tongtian suddenly heard someone call out to him. Finding it strange, he stopped and looked around.
He saw no one calling to him.
Qin Yun spoke again. "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, I'm the master of this temple, and the Qingyi Mountain God enshrined here."
"I'm the one speaking to you!" Qin Yun said.
At that, Tongtian understood. "What do you want with me?"
Such things weren't unusual in the Primordial World. After all, they were all Innate Beings, and they all had cultivation.
"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, why don't you offer some incense to me..." Qin Yun said.
Only by offering incense to Qin Yun could someone become one of his believers. Otherwise, they couldn't.
