Wu Chu Claimed First, and No One Dared Claim Second

Before that, Wu Chu planned to meet with Miss Houtu.

Then, while waiting, he copied down knowledge from subjects such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

The result was that copying the math subjects did earn some Merit, but Merit, copying the physics and chemistry subjects did not, which Wu Chu found somewhat difficult to understand.

Wu Chu asked Yibao, and Yibao actually gave him an answer, "I seem to have a vague feeling that the will of Heavenly Dao believes that knowledge of physics and chemistry will cause some damage to the Primordial Land, just like the Earth was before..."

Thinking of that Earth, Wu Chu was speechless, but soon his eyes widened again, "You can sense the will of Heavenly Dao?"

Yibao frowned and said, "You can think of the Heavenly Dao's will as a super-intelligent host, and I am a program that wants to access the host. To access the host, you need certain permissions. I am only qualified if the other party wants me to access it."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Look at our phones, the Primordial World Map, the weather forecast for Purple Jade Mountain —these are all benefits bestowed upon us by the will of Heavenly Dao."

"Yibao is amazing!"

Wu Chu picked up Yibao and lifted her high in the air.

Yibao proudly raised her little head.

And so, Wu Chu waited Houtu Miss Houtu on Purple Jade Mountain for an entire winter, but she never came to find him, so he had no choice but to give up waiting.

Come to think of it, this is the Primordial World. Romance and such are secondary. The key is to improve one's own cultivation.

Every living being born into this world has its own things to do and its own path to seek; who has time for romantic love every day?

Wu Chu chuckled self-deprecatingly.

With this understanding, Wu Chu's anticipation gradually subsided. He then went to the Spirit Spring, sat under the Little Enlightenment Tea Tree, and began refining the Li Fire Pearl while comprehending the original power of the Li Fire Essence the Li Fire Pearl.

While the fundamental power of flames may seem similar, the underlying structure of the power source can vary greatly from one flame to another.

However, not long after Wu Chu went into seclusion under the Little Enlightenment Tea Tree to refine the Li Fire Pearl, Miss Houtu mentally prepared Houtu and came to find him.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Wu Chu refining the Li Fire Pearl.

Although she had prepared herself mentally, the fact that she didn't have to face it immediately still calmed her down.

The relationship between the two had actually reached a critical point, especially after what happened last time, when the entire tribe's shaman had accepted it.

Although nothing happened between the two at the time, it actually helped Houtu move forward, forcing her to face the relationship between them.

Although she wanted to confront her brothers at the time, in retrospect, while their actions were outrageous, they did indeed push their relationship forward.

After spending some time at Purple Jade Mountain, Miss Houtu returned to her tribe, though she would occasionally come over to visit and enjoy a feast prepared by Little Cai Niang.

And so, several hundred years passed in a flash.

After comprehending the Solar True Flame, the Little Phoenix Feng Xi emerged from seclusion. Seeing that Wu Chu was in seclusion, she did not disturb him, but simply stayed on Purple Jade Mountain for a while.

She only Houtu leave when Houtu came again.

A few days later, Qingluan arrived with her subordinates to pick up Feng Xi. Upon seeing Houtu there, Qingluan glanced at Feng Xi and silently shook her head.

However, when she discovered that Wu Chu Chuzhen had nurtured new buds from that withered branch of the Fire Parasol Tree, she was also shocked. How did this guy manage to do that?

After bidding farewell to Houtu, Qingluan took Feng Xi away from Purple Jade Mountain. On the way back, Qingluan asked her, "Xi'er, have you really taken a liking to that fellow Daoist who doesn't know how to be independent?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Xi was taken aback for a moment, then two blushes rose on her cheeks, and she shook her head like a rattle drum.

Upon seeing this, Qingluan smiled and asked, "Then why did you give away your tail feathers in the first place? Don't tell me you don't know the other meaning they represent. The first lesson all Phoenix Clan members receive after birth is the meaning of these feathers on our bodies."

"Aunt..."

"Hehe, you're shy now, yet you dare to lie to me. With your little schemes, who can you fool?" Qingluan reached out and tapped Feng Xi's head. "You gave away your own tail feathers the moment you made a move, all your thoughts are on that, silly girl!"

"That's just how it is, that's how I find you, Fellow Daoist, quite interesting! Not only are you witty and pleasant to listen to, but you're also proficient in everything from music and chess to calligraphy and painting, cooking, singing, and dancing..."

In fact, what Wu Chu considered to be proficiency in everything, as Feng Xi saw it, was all quite ordinary in his own eyes. Although his talent in those areas was mediocre, his skills in boasting and acting had, after years of refinement, naturally reached a level of perfection.

In Wu Chu's eyes, Feng Xi and Chiwen, these privileged second-generation rich kids, were actually just country bumpkins who had never seen the world. He praised them a couple of times and they were amazed by their extraordinary abilities.

In terms of cultivation, he might not be the best, but when it comes to acting skills and boasting and spouting platitudes, if he claims to be second, there probably aren't many people in this Primordial World who would claim to be first.

After all, Yibao was secretly acting as his cheat code!

It's just that no one was aware of Wu Chu's skills.

Often, Wu Chu could easily offer them some inspirational words, which would resonate with them. This was also what Wu Chu found most frustrating.

Wu Chu never imagined that his habitual boasting and motivational speeches to those privileged young people would lead him to win over this Little Phoenix from the Phoenix Clan.

Although the Little Phoenix didn't admit her little scheme to Wu Chu, it was mainly because Wu Chu wanted to return the feather to her, which was why she didn't dare to admit it.

Being rejected to someone's face is a very embarrassing thing!

After Feng Xi left Purple Jade Mountain returned to true peace.

To many creatures of Purple Jade Mountain, although Feng Xi, the Little Phoenix, was sweet and lovely, straightforward, and without any guile, she was ultimately an outsider, and a member of the Phoenix Clan at that.

The Three Primordial Clans did not actually leave a very good impression on the creatures of Purple Jade Mountain.

After everyone relaxed, life became much more leisurely and pleasant.

And so, more than ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Qingqiu Li came from Qingqiu to visit him. Seeing that Wu Chu was in seclusion, she nodded and asked Hua Feier, "How long has he been in seclusion?"

"Hmm, it's been over ten thousand years!"

Upon hearing this, Qingqiu Li calculated the time, gave a slightly smug hum in her heart, and then asked casually, "Why isn't Houtu here?"

Hua Feier smiled and said, "Sister Houtu comes to visit occasionally, but she usually doesn't stay for more than a few days before going back."

Hua Shier laughed and said, "Sister Houtu usually just comes over for a meal. Although Little Cai Niang's cooking skills are not as good as Sister Yueling's, they are much better than those shamans in the Houtu Tribe."

"Have Xiao Yu and Little Moon Spirit not emerged from seclusion yet?"

No!

"Oh, I see! Where's Little Cai Niang? I want to eat something delicious."

"She took some Little Flower Fairies to the mountains to gather wild game. It's late summer and early autumn now, and some mushrooms have already started to grow in the mountains..."

"Then I'll wait for her! Oh, right, Fei'er, get me a Watermelon, I want to drink chilled Watermelon juice." Qingqiu Li casually ordered these Little Flower Fairies around.

These Little Flower Fairies didn't treat her like an outsider; they floated over and went to do it for her.
