Houtu's Gift, Seven-Treasure Radiance

"So the Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique has such miraculous effects?"

When Wu Chu told Houtu about Houtu, after completing the sixth stage of the Mysterious Technique, Indestructible Spirit Light had emerged within his body, and how he then used this Indestructible Spirit Light to deduce the various ways in which the Five Elements Origin could generate the Indestructible Spirit Light, Houtu couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

Actually, upon closer reflection, it's not that strange. After all, the future Three-Eyed True Lord Yang Jian achieved sainthood through his physical body!

Of course, his so-called 'saint' is not the same as the 'saint' of the Primordial World Sage.

The "saint" in Yang Jian's "physical sainthood" refers only to physical immortality, not the attainment of pure yang immortality through primordial yang, and is not considered a traditional cultivation method of the Xuanmen.

In other words, Wu Chu's method of becoming Golden Immortal cannot be considered a traditional cultivation method in the Primordial World. Instead, it is a different path, using the cultivation of the physical body to achieve a shortcut.

Otherwise, how could he have achieved the Golden Immortal realm from nothing in just over an Epoch? This achievement is no less than that of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

However, when the Qingqiu Fox Clan was mentioned, Wu Chu couldn't help but look at the Little Fox with some suspicion.

The Little Fox has been here on Purple Jade Mountain for at least a hundred thousand years! Didn't she say that in their Qingqiu Fox Clan, they reach adulthood in about a hundred thousand years and naturally become Golden Immortal?

So why does she still look like a little girl? And why hasn't she become Golden Immortal yet? Is she pretending? But she's so vain, how could she possibly pretend?

"Yueling, did I just cry and my face look smudged?"

The Little Fox noticed the way Wu Chu looked at him and asked Little Moon Spirit, who was standing nearby.

Little Moon Spirit looked at her little face and shook her head, "No!"

"Then why did Senior A Chu look at me like that?"

Upon hearing this, Little Moon Spirit looked at Wu Chu, Houtu also looked at Wu Chu suspiciously.

Wu Chu coughed lightly and said, "I just find it strange. Didn't you tell me before, Xiao Yu, that your Qingqiu Fox Clan takes about 100,000 years to reach adulthood? You've been here at Purple Jade Mountain for about 100,000 years now!"

The Little Fox nodded and said, "Yes, I have! However, when Senior A Chu was in seclusion, the Ancestor used the medicinal power of the Purple Jade Spirit-Pattern Apple to enhance my bloodline, so my growth rate has slowed down a bit. But the Ancestor said that although my growth will be slower, my future achievements will be even greater! Perhaps when I come of age, I will reach the Taiyi Realm."

"So how far are you from reaching the Golden Immortal Realm?"

"Yueling and I have both comprehended the power of the Five Elements Origin, and we're just waiting to evolve that Indestructible Spirit Light!" The Little Fox nodded and said, "By the way, Little Moon Spirit's potential was also enhanced once by Sister Nuwa using the Purple Jade Spirit-Pattern Apple, otherwise she would be almost an adult too."

Speaking of this, Little Moon Spirit nodded in agreement, her starry eyes crinkling into crescent moons with a blissful expression. Every time she thought about this, Little Moon Spirit felt incredibly lucky; otherwise, with her foundation, she might not even have a chance to become Golden Immortal.

But now, she can finally have some hope.

It turns out that the reason these two little girls haven't reached adulthood yet is because of Nuwa and the Fox Ancestress.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard Houtu's voice beside him, "A Chu seems to be really looking forward to seeing them come of age!"

Um?

Wu Chu turned to look at the young lady Houtu, whose hair was brushing against her Houtu, and then sincerely said, "If I could, I would wish they never grew up, and remained as they were when they were little, cute and adorable, with simple and innocent thoughts, carefree and without worries..."

"No, I want to grow up!" the Little Fox said.

Little Moon Spirit nodded in agreement, "I want to grow up too!"

Wu Chu looked at them and smiled, "Growing up is actually not good at all, because as you grow up, the burdens on your shoulders will become heavier and heavier. You will feel anxious because your cultivation cannot be improved for a long time, and you will feel lost because you cannot see the direction of the future."

Little Moon Spirit looked at Houtu and asked, "Sister Houtu, have you ever experienced this?"

Houtu thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, I have! But it wasn't because my cultivation couldn't improve, but because of the tribe's development. Back in Mount Buzhou, there was a time when I felt threatened by the Qilin Royal Court, and I hesitated at the time, wondering what to do."

"See, it's better if they don't grow up! Look at the Little Deer Cub, it always looks so carefree!" Wu Chu said with a smile.

Houtu laughed upon hearing this, "Isn't this the contradiction you were talking about?!"

Wu Chu nodded with a smile, while the Little Fox beside him said, "Yoyo has grown up a lot now; you'll see in a moment."

Indeed, upon returning to the Summit of the Sacred Tree, Wu Chu saw Yoyo, who had grown considerably; the adorable Little Deer Cub she once was was gone forever.

Now it has grown to his waist, and it is no different from the deer in his memory.

It has two white antlers on its head, and they have the first branch.

However, compared to the deer of this world, Yoyo is actually still a fawn, and there is still a considerable distance between her and adulthood.

Tens of thousands of years have passed, and everyone has grown. The big fish in the lake have long since exceeded a hundred feet in diameter, and the Rainbow Snail in the backyard have also exceeded ten feet in diameter.

The only ones who don't look much different are probably the Flower Fairy Clan; they still look like little people, both cute and adorable.

Yes, let's include Yibao too!

Although this creature, being Spirit Treasure True Spirit, had long ago refined the Indestructible Spirit Light it obtained from the Tianmu Daoist, it still retained its elfin appearance.

Yibao rarely appears in public now, because there are too many people and too much gossip on Purple Jade Mountain, and the fewer people who know this secret, the better.

However, Wu Chu often took out his phone to show people, and everyone just thought it was a strange Merit Spiritual Treasure, without being curious about how such Spirit Treasure could exist.

After all, there are plenty of strange things in this world.

"This is for you, consider it a congratulatory gift for your advancement to Golden Immortal!" Back in the pavilion atop the sacred mountain, Houtu pulled a square handkerchief from her sleeve. "This is called the Seven-Treasure Radiance Kerchief. It's woven from the feathers of seven kinds of birds, impervious to water and fire, and self-cleansing. It has a Seven-Star Radiance Formation on it; when thrown, it emits seven treasures of light, which can be used to trap enemies..."

Wu Chu accepted the shimmering white handkerchief, thanked it, and then asked, "Sister, aren't you unable to refine Spirit Treasure for beings other than the Witch Clan?"

The Witch Clan is not incapable of crafting Spirit Treasure; rather, the Spirit Treasure they create are unusable by any other Witch Clan. This is because their method of crafting treasures is unique; the source of power that activates these Spirit Treasure is not spiritual energy, but Earth Fiend Qi.

"This was not crafted by me; it was obtained through an exchange with Sister Xuanming. I suppose Sister Xuanming also acquired it from other beings!" Houtu smiled and said, "In the former Mystic Isle, in Xuandu, many beings gathered there. Besides exchanging their cultivation gains, they would also exchange Spirit Treasure or precious materials."

Wu Chu nodded upon hearing this, thinking to himself that Miss Houtu must have paid a heavy price for this.

Just as I was thinking about how to repay Miss Houtu, she said, "By the way, Xuanming and the others want to come to Purple Jade Mountain to thank you. Your skills have now spread throughout the Witch Clan, such as papermaking, pen making, writing and numbers, pottery making, net weaving, logging and building houses, tribal planning, and so on. They feel they should come to thank you, and I also think we can take this opportunity of your advancement to the Gold level to properly accept our gratitude."

"I am naturally very happy that they are willing to come, but while I appreciate their kindness, there is no need for gifts," Wu Chu said with a smile. "The fact that those things have spread throughout your tribe is a reward for my Merit. Heaven and earth have already thanked me, so you don't need to thank me again."

"Heaven and earth are heaven and earth, and we are us; how can we be treated as one?" Houtu winked at him. "Then it's settled. I'll call them all over in a while."

Seeing Houtu wink, Wu Chu suddenly felt as if her elbow was bending in his direction!

Thinking about it this way, Wu Chu couldn't help but feel much better.
