"You're Jiang Shang? A little while ago, our eldest senior brother, Antarctic Immortal, told me that our venerable master would be taking on a new junior brother. I never expected to meet you here."
Hearing Xiao Tian's words, Yun Zhongzi immediately spoke in surprise.
Yun Zhongzi was not one of the famous Twelve Golden Immortals trapped in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation during the Investiture of the Gods, but his seniority was by no means low, nor was his fighting strength weak. Among the Twelve Golden Immortals, he could have ranked second. After all, he was Daoist Hongyun reincarnated and had been taken in as a disciple by Primordial Heavenly Venerable. His temperament remained much as it had been before, especially after becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal, when he had recovered some of his memories.
Otherwise, how could he have an innate spiritual root, the Immortal Apricot, in his cultivation grounds? After eating two Immortal Apricots, Lei Zhenzi had directly become a Golden Immortal Great Perfection expert. Once he descended the mountain, he made a mighty name for himself. Later, he even became a Taiyi Golden Immortal, returned to the Heavenly Court, and was entrusted with great responsibilities by the Jade Emperor.
It seemed he still had plenty of room to rise. In other words, eating the fruit of an innate spiritual root might impose certain limitations, but becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal in the future should be no problem.
Xiao Tian did not know what origin the Immortal Apricot itself represented. His own foundation, the Innate Gourd Vine, for instance, contained many origins. Lei Zhenzi must originally have possessed a lightning-origin Dao physique. After eating the Immortal Apricots, he gained a wind origin as well, and the fusion of wind and lightning gave him boundless power.
