Idle Talk Beneath the Moon, the Sacred Tree Can Be Saved

Starlight Moonlight scatter across the lake, forming several funnel-shaped clusters of light. The reflections of the stars and moon on the lake make it seem as if boats are sailing on a galaxy, a scene of breathtaking beauty.

Under the moonlight, several Daoist priests sat on the deck of the Tower Ship, drinking and chatting idly.

One of them had a Fat Dog and a white Little Deer Cub lying beside him, while a cute Little Chef was pouring them drinks, her face full of curiosity.

Although these two people gave her a powerful feeling, they were also very peaceful, which was the complete opposite of the Tianmu Daoist.

If the feeling she got from the Tianmu Daoist was of dark clouds looming overhead and giant beasts coiling around, then the feeling she got from these two people in front of her was of auspicious clouds filling the sky and countless auspicious lights shining brightly.

After pouring the wine, she ran to the side to grill meat. Skewers of meat were laid out on the grill, and charcoal burned beneath it, making her small face glow red. She tilted her head, her eyes filled with wonder, listening to the Red-Robed Daoist recount their experiences along the way, and felt a longing in her heart.

Wu Chu was similar to her.

But he quickly extinguished that longing himself.

With your current level of cultivation, you think you can go on a trip? You're asking for trouble!

Although the Three Clans had just been established in this Primordial World era, and the Three Clans had not yet chosen sides or begun fighting among themselves, the outside world was not as chaotic as Wu Chu imagined.

But with his current cultivation level, even a minor demon at the Earth Immortal Realm could easily subdue him, unless Yibao could protect him.

While Red Cloud Daoist was enthusiastically recounting their experiences along the way, Zhen Yuanzi silently observed Wu Chu and everything around them.

Although Wu Chu didn't seem particularly strong to him, he dared not underestimate anyone in this Primordial Land. Moreover, while Wu Chu's aura was weak, the Little Deer Cub beside him and the little Nüwa who poured them wine were not weak in terms of mount and disciple.

If Wu Chu were truly weak, how could they possibly control them?

Furthermore, the surging Merit Power within Wu Chu's body, as well as the aura of Merit Spiritual Treasure that could be sensed everywhere, all made Zhen Yuanzi realize that this person was no ordinary individual.

While Zhen Yuanzi was deep in thought, Wu Chu was asking Hong Yun for information on all sorts of seasonings and crops he could think of.

After all, they had only just met. Although he knew that this person was a well-known kind-hearted person in the Primordial World, Wu Chu did not dare to easily reveal the fact that his cultivation level was low.

Therefore, Wu Chu had no choice but to start with food and observe each other first.

He had a very good impression of Hong Yun; she was outgoing, friendly, and had an extremely comfortable and approachable personality, making it easy to start a conversation with her.

As for Zhen Yuanzi, he wasn't as easy to talk to as Hong Yun. He had a serious expression, and even when he smiled, it was an awkward yet polite smile, lacking a bit of his usual carefree attitude.

However, Wu Chu didn't mind. He had met many people like Zhen Yuanzi, who were the type who would never chat with someone they didn't know well.

"I haven't noticed any of the spiritual plants you mentioned, fellow Daoist," Hong Yun shook his head, then asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist has already abstained from grains, why are you still looking for these ordinary and useless spiritual plants? Is it just for a bite to eat?"

Wu Chu laughed and said, "What does one seek in this world? The path of cultivation is long and arduous. If one doesn't find something to pass the time and relieve some of the boredom, how dull would a life of cultivation be!"

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of Dragon Meat as thin as a cicada's wing, put it in his mouth and chewed. After tasting it, he said, "Isn't this kind of food delicious?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Yun chuckled. Even Zhen Yuanzi, who rarely smiled, couldn't help but smile, thinking that this guy actually knew how to amuse himself.

Wu Chu continued, "Of course, those spiritual plants cannot compare to Dragon Meat, but Dragon Meat has its merits, and those spiritual plants have their wonders. Some of the spiritual plants I just mentioned can be used to flavor food and enhance its palatability. Some of their fruits can be used to brew spiritual wine, or simply to fill one's stomach..."

The two began to discuss these spiritual plants, and Wu Chu even asked him if he had ever seen a spiritual tea tree. Everyone said it was an essential item for transmigrators to show off, but he didn't have one.

Red Cloud Daoist shook his head, saying that he had never paid attention to these ordinary things before.

Although everything in this world that is born from Innate energy can be considered Innate Object, in the eyes of these powerful figures, the vast majority of Innate Object are trash.

But in the Wu Chu regions, these are all treasures.

In this way, they were taught a good lesson, realizing that seemingly ordinary things can actually have such wonderful uses.

But upon closer examination, it becomes clear that these things are utterly useless to them. They can go without food, drink, or sleep; what use are these ordinary things to them? Are they really meant to kill time and alleviate boredom? Why not spend that time traveling?

So Hong Yun changed the subject, bringing up the Innate Spirit Root, "Why don't you lend that Spirit Root a hand? Once it's fully restored, the protective formation here can be completely reassembled. Although it's not the most Innate Spirit Root Spirit Root, it's still considered a very high -Spirit Root one. It's truly a pity it's in its current state!"

Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly. Although this Spirit Root couldn't compare to his Ginseng Fruit Tree, it was still a very good Spirit Root.

Upon seeing this, Wu Chu shook his head and smiled wryly, "I would also like to lend it a hand, but alas, my cultivation is limited! I don't know what can be used to help it recover quickly."

"Fellow Daoist, are you unaware that the Merit Power can help him recover from his injuries?"

"..."

Wu Chu and Zhen Yuanzi both looked at Hong Yun. Wu Chu was curious, while Zhen Yuanzi frowned slightly, feeling that Hong Yun had been rash. How could the other party not know about such a matter?

If they know the truth but choose not to do it, doesn't that mean they don't want to do it at all? Isn't it embarrassing to point that out directly?

Zhen Yuanzi had witnessed this kind of awkward situation many times with Hong Yun.

But Hong Yun is straightforward and outspoken, and has a carefree personality; she never learns her lesson despite repeated admonitions.

To Zhen Yuanzi's surprise, Wu Chu was not angry at all. Instead, he asked Hong Yun curiously, "Is there really such a good thing? How should we do it?"

Did he really not know?

A strange light flashed in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes.

Hong Yun asked in surprise, "Fellow Daoist, do you perhaps not know how to utilize the Merit Power?"

"..."

Zhen Yuanzi was somewhat speechless again. Was it really appropriate to ask such a direct question?

Wu Chu, in turn, asked, "Should I know this?"

Hong Yun chuckled upon hearing this, and Zhen Yuanzi, after a moment of surprise, also laughed. Wu Chu was somewhat puzzled by the laughter, but his expression remained largely unchanged, conveying the feeling that 'if I'm not embarrassed, then I'm not the one who's embarrassed.'

Clearly, his control over his facial expressions has reached a level of consummate skill. This is thanks to his rapid advancement in cultivation, which has allowed him to achieve unparalleled control over his facial muscles.

"Fellow Daoist, have you never tried using the Merit Power?" Hong Yun asked again.

Wu Chu nodded slightly. "I wish to accumulate more Merit to condense a Merit Golden Wheel, but I do not know the method for condensing Merit Golden Wheel. Do you two know it? Could you please enlighten me?"

Although asking this question was somewhat abrupt, Wu Chu simply couldn't help himself.
