New Crops, the Camellia Divine Flower

More than a year after the banquet at Purple Jade Mountain, Di Jun, Taiyi, and Changxi bid farewell and departed to continue their journey across the Primordial Land.

Before leaving, Wu Chu gave them some gifts in return, including Candied Roasted Chestnuts and some fresh fruit for Changxi. Despite Changxi's aloof appearance and goddess-like demeanor, she actually enjoys sweets and is not as cold as she seems on the surface.

What was given to Taiyi was wine, various fruit wines, including Dragon Bone Wine made by soaking dragon bones.

What was given to Di Jun was a booklet, the kind with pictures and descriptions. The pictures inside were not anything obscene, but rather various song and dance programs, such as "Cloud Palace News" and "That Guy Carries His Wife" and so on.

As for various musical instruments, Wu Chu was naturally generous with his gifts, but he didn't send him any of the Flower Fairies. Although Di Jun really wanted one or two Flower Fairies to serve him, he ultimately didn't ask, to avoid any unpleasantness.

Although such a gift was of no benefit to cultivation, Di Jun liked it very much. He was unwilling to let Taiyi see his booklet.

"Big brother, where do we go next?"

Not being able to see anything in the booklet, Taiyi asked.

Di Jun smiled and said, "I've heard from Fellow Daoist Hongyun that the Celestial Fox Dance of the Qingqiu Fox Clan is quite impressive. I've decided to go and experience it. What do you think, Changxi?"

Changxi said indifferently, "Fellow Daoist, please do as you please!"

In later generations, Di Jun's actions would instantly earn him the label of a "straight man"—asking the woman he likes, "How about we go watch a fox spirit dance together?"

Unfortunately, at this time, the hearts of living beings were still very pure. If they said they wanted to watch a fox spirit dance, they simply meant to watch the fox spirit dance, and nothing more.

After they left, Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi stayed behind and handed over the crops they had encountered when they traveled through the Primordial Land to Wu Chu.

They also wanted to see how Wu Chu cultivated these crops.

When Wu Chu saw the large, plump grains of Five-Colored Rice, palm-sized red and green Green Bell Pepper, and Sugarcane stalks as tall as bamboo among the crops Hong Yun had given him, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The Sugarcane was so thick that Wu Chu could hardly believe it. Only after tasting it did he finally realize that this was indeed Sugarcane from the Primordial World.

"Just how many places have you traveled to?" Wu Chu laughed heartily, then sighed, picking up the Five-Colored Rice and pointing to the Sugarcane, saying, "These must have been found in the south!"

Hong Yun smiled and nodded, pointing to the Five-Colored Rice, saying, "We encountered this on our way from the Eastern Sea Dragon Court to the Southern Undying Volcano. We found it in a depression near the Great River to the south. That area is crisscrossed by waterways, and many birds inhabit it. Besides this Five-Colored Rice, there are also many aquatic plants..."

Hong Yun brought back quite a lot, many of which were aquatic wild vegetables that Wu Chu couldn't name.

"Later, we arrived at the Undying Volcano and discovered this Sweet-Juice Tree nearby. A giant beast with a long nose really liked it. We stayed at the Phoenix Palace of the Undying Volcano for a while, then turned southwest and encountered these green and red peppers somewhere in the southwest... Finally, we circled back to Brother Zhen Yuanzi's Longevity Mountain..."

Zhen Yuanzi smiled and said, "I have built Daoist Temple on Longevity Mountain, named Wuzhuang Temple, and set up Terrain Formation Array covering hundreds of thousands of miles around Daoist Temple. If you have some free time, you are welcome to visit my Longevity Mountain. I will certainly welcome you with open arms."

Wu Chu laughed and said, "When my cultivation is sufficient, I will definitely go and take a look."

Two years later, Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun also took their leave. Zhen Yuanzi took a bag of Refined Sugar and some crops back to cultivate. Hong Yun, on the other hand, took most of the fine wine stored in Wu Chu and Chu.

The wine cellar, which was already nearly empty, is now completely gone.

Before departing, Hong Yun said to Wu Chu, "This time when we return, we will be in seclusion for a period of time. Although there is no friction between the Three Clans, their patience with the Ten Thousand Clans is gradually disappearing. The war of unification that you mentioned is gradually unfolding. We can no longer continue to go out and enjoy ourselves. We still need to improve our cultivation first. If you have nothing to do, do not go out casually."

Zhen Yuanzi laughed and said, "It's not that Fellow Daoist is more adept at the art of survival than we are; I don't need to worry about him in that respect. On the contrary, it is Brother Daoist who is quite worrisome in this regard."

Considering Hong Yun's kind nature and his straightforward and unrestrained personality, Wu Chu felt that Zhen Yuanzi's concerns were indeed reasonable, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Finally, he nodded, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "Take care, my two fellow Daoists!"

Take care! Goodbye!

"Goodbye!"

After the departure of these powerful figures, Purple Jade Mountain, which had been bustling for hundreds of years, seemed to experience a brief period of quiet. However, this was only temporary, and everyone was just a little unaccustomed to it.

After all, the population of this Purple Jade Mountain has been growing, and the Little Flower Fairies chatter away, so it's impossible for it to be quiet.

However, it's worth mentioning that the Twelve Flower Gods in the Flower Valley very domineeringly snatched the names from Little Peony and the others, feeling that they didn't deserve those names.

For example, the Peony Divine Flower directly told the Little Peony that she was not worthy of the name 'Peony,' as it was her own name.

Little Peony was heartbroken, but she couldn't refuse these Divine Flower, so she could only turn to Wu Chu and ask Wu Chu to give them new names.

Wu Chu hadn't expected these Twelve Divine Flowers to be so domineering. He wanted to reason with them, but these Divine Flower only possessed a sliver of consciousness, and their intelligence was roughly equivalent to that of a young child. How could he possibly reason with them?

I wanted to give them a good beating, but I was afraid of ruining them and then having to heal them later—it wouldn't be worth it. In the end, I decided against it. These flower names originally belonged to them; if they wanted them back, so be it! After all, they were Innate Divine Flower.

"How many people had their names taken back in total?"

"Three!" said Little Peony, "Me, Little Chrysanthemum, and Phoebe."

"Three!" Wu Chu thought for a moment and said, "That's easy! I'll go and reason with them and get those names back for you..."

Seeing this, Little Peony said, "Senior A Chu, perhaps we should just forget it! After all, they are the Innate Divine Beings of our Flower Fairy Clan, and we cannot compete with them. Please grant us a name, as long as it's not one, two, or three."

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... This is all the trouble caused by Yibao's Phone Sprite.

"That won't do! I have to reason with them! When Senior Hong Yun was around, they didn't jump out to fight you for this name. But now that they're gone, they're putting on this show. What do they mean by this? Do they look down on me? Do they think I'm easy to bully? They've gone too far!"

Wu Chu slammed his hand on the table and strode into the kitchen with an air of righteous indignation. He picked up a cleaver, and while Little Moon Spirit was completely bewildered, he reached the edge of the treetop and then leaped down.

In the valley, twelve Innate Divine Flower are planted around the spiritual spring.

Plum Blossom represent January, apricot blossoms in February, Peach Blossom in March, Peony in April, Moonstone blossoms in May, lotus flowers in June, crabapple blossoms in July, Moon Cassia Blossom, Chrysanthemum Blossom in September, Phoebe blossoms in October, Camellia in November, Daffodil in December.

A small pool spontaneously formed at the base of the lotus and Daffodil. The water in the pool was the Primordial One-Qi Pure Spirit Spring, and they did not occupy the original Clear Spirit Spring.

Unlike the hundred flowers in the Flower Valley, many of these Twelve Divine Flowers are quite large. If the valley weren't so large, it wouldn't be able to contain them.

Because the flowers in this valley were originally some lesser-known wildflowers, only Little Peony and her two companions had their names stolen.

Wu Chu's gaze swept over these Divine Flower, and the Divine Sense of those Divine Flower were also watching Wu Chu.

When Wu Chu saw the Camellia, a slight smile crept onto his lips. Tea, one of the essential tools for a time-traveler to show off, must be found in this Camellia Divine Flower!
