The Way of the Prehistoric World

Let's not talk about Hongjun's evaluation of Chaos Island for the moment. Hongjun, who has entered Chaos Island, soon followed Yulu to the Palace of Purity.

"Fellow Taoist Hongjun, since the last time we said goodbye, tens of thousands of Yuanhui have quietly passed by. During this period, I have always wanted to discuss Taoism with my fellow Taoist. Finally, today, my fellow Taoist is here!" Seeing Hongjun enter the hall, Mei Zihan stood up and greeted him.

Seeing Mei Zihan's enthusiasm, Hongjun said with some embarrassment: "After we said goodbye last time, Pindao planned to visit fellow Taoist Five Elements first, but unexpectedly he suddenly realized something and had no choice but to practice in seclusion first. This made fellow Taoist tired of waiting for so long. , I am extremely frightened."

After Hongjun explained, Mei Zihan looked at Hongjun carefully, and then congratulated: "Five Elements First, congratulations to fellow Taoist Taoist for breaking through to the quasi-sage. Since then, the cultivation has greatly increased, and the sainthood can be expected. As for delaying the journey to Chaos Island, Okay, it doesn’t matter. You and I are both cultivators, so the length of time doesn’t matter to us.”

"Thank you fellow Taoist Five Elements for your understanding. It's just a coincidence that Pindao was able to break through to Quasi-Sage. Compared to fellow Taoist Daoist who was already a Quasi-Sage before, it's really not worth mentioning." Hongjun said modestly.

Mei Zihan didn't care much about Hongjun's self-effacing words. He knew very well that those who could become quasi-sages in the ancient times all had great perseverance, great opportunities, and great courage. At the same time, they had to go through countless hardships. Bitter, so Hongjun just said it (seriously, you lose!).

After Hongjun sat down, Mei Zihan began to introduce him: "Fellow Daoist Hongjun, in front of you are all the direct disciples of the Chaos Island lineage, Earth Spirit, Jade Dew, and Bull Demon King. I haven't seen you before." Uncle Hongjun.”

"Master Nephew Earth Spirit/Yulu/Ou Demon King has met Uncle Hongjun!" After Mei Zihan gave his instructions, the three of them stood up and saluted in unison.

"The poor Taoist Hongjun has met three nephews. My fellow Taoist is really lucky. All of them from the Chaos Island lineage are truly extraordinary."

Hongjun greeted him first, and then couldn't wait to praise him. The three people in front of him were all Daluo Jinxian, and their cultivation levels were extremely stable. It was obvious that they not only had good qualifications, but also had great perseverance.

After Hongjun praised him, Mei Zihan said happily and humbly: "You shouldn't praise me from fellow Taoists. This disciple, Pindao, is really a headache." After saying this, he also hinted.

"Uncle Hongjun, did you bring us a meeting gift?" However, under Mei Zihan's hint, Di Ling suddenly asked.

Before Hongjun could speak, Mei Zihan put on a straight face and pretended to reprimand: "Nonsense! As a Taoist, how can you care so much about these external things? What's more, it's Hongjun's business to give or not, so how can you ask for it?" Woolen cloth?"

Then he smiled bitterly at Hongjun and said: "Fellow Taoist Hongjun, I don't think I should praise you. Disciples of the Earth Spirit are often neither big nor small in front of me, but they make fellow Taoist laugh."

After saying that, he kept shaking his head helplessly, and his acting skills were comparable to those of Oscar-winning actors on earth.

"Don't be surprised, fellow Taoist Five Elements. The nephew of the Earth Spirit is really good-natured, but the poor Taoist didn't think it through before, so he gave away the meeting gifts for the three apprentices and nephews to save the nephew of the Earth Spirit from complaining about the old Tao in the future." Hongjun responded readily. .

Although he agreed simply on the surface, Hongjun couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart: "I originally planned to go to Chaos Island to fight the autumn wind, but I didn't expect to be robbed first. Now it's obviously not possible without some blood. Let's first think about which three innate spiritual treasures to give. suitable."

"I have spent money on fellow Taoist Hongjun. Di Ling, Yu Lu and Niu Demon King, why don't you thank Uncle Hongjun quickly?" Mei Zihan was embarrassed, but he was ready to let the three Di Lings thank him first, obviously with the intention of The idea of ​​turning raw rice into cooked rice.

"Earth Spirit/Yulu/Ox Demon King thanked Uncle Hongjun."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! As long as you don't complain about being stingy."

As he said that, he took out three innate spiritual treasures: a hammer, two lamps, and a purple electric hammer. There are some differences, but it also makes the three Earth Spirits extremely happy.

"We would like to thank Uncle Hongjun for the generous gift!" After receiving the innate spiritual treasure, the three people from Earth Ling thanked Hongjun again.

Among the three top-quality innate spiritual treasures, the Purple Electric Hammer was first obtained by the Bull Demon King. He was the only one who was male. He was also the first thunder beast in the ancient world, and the attributes of the Purple Electric Hammer were most consistent with them.

The remaining Eight Scenery Palace Lanterns and the Seven Treasures Glazed Lanterns were originally the spiritual treasures of Taishang Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun, but now they were acquired by Earth Spirit and Yulu, and were placed in their own palaces respectively. They are destined to have no relationship with their original owners.

After the three people from Di Ling sat down, Mei Zihan ordered: "Since I have accepted the meeting gift from your uncle Hongjun, let's go to Lingmiao Garden to get some fruits to quench the thirst of fellow Taoist Hongjun."

"I sincerely obey the Master/Island Lord's decree." The three of them immediately flew out of the Purity Palace.

At this time, Mei Zihan explained to Hongjun: "Because the Earth Spirit disciples were messing around before, it really cost fellow Taoists a lot of money. There are only a few fruits in Chaos Island that are still available. Fellow Taoists have been tired all the way here. Just right for quenching your thirst.”

"Shan, I am also a poor Taoist who wants to see the spiritual fruit that is highly praised by fellow Taoists."

Hongjun immediately responded, thinking that the spiritual fruit that Mei Zihan praised must be extraordinary, but he didn't know how it compared with the flat peach tree. Since getting the flat peach tree, he found several more innate spiritual roots, but he Not even in the top tier, just better than nothing.

Soon after, the three Earth Spirits came to the Qingjing Palace again. The difference from before was that now the three of them had five more jade plates, each with dozens of spiritual fruits on them, but they were all taken away. Covered by a brocade handkerchief, it is impossible to know the specific type of spiritual fruit.

After the three people from Earth Spirit put the spirit fruits away, Mei Zihan invited Hongjun: "Fellow Taoist, you don't have to be polite. These spirit fruits are produced in large quantities on Chaos Island. Just enjoy them with peace of mind."

Seeing that there were dozens of spiritual fruits under each brocade handkerchief, Hongjun began to feel dissatisfied. You must know that the more precious the spiritual fruits are, the rarer they are. Just based on the number of spiritual fruits in front of him, Hongjun There are reasons to doubt the quality of the spiritual fruit.

Hongjun himself also has a top-notch innate spiritual root flat peach tree, and the number of flat peaches it bears is extremely limited. It is not enough to enjoy it by himself, let alone take out hundreds of them like this.

Even though he was a little disappointed with the quality of Lingguo, under Mei Zihan's warm invitation, he naturally lifted up the brocade handkerchief in front of him, preparing to see the true face of Lingguo in Lushan.

But the moment the brocade handkerchief was lifted, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

On the jade plate in front of him, he saw ginseng fruits, yellow plums, fairy apricots and other spiritual fruits neatly arranged. There were more than a dozen of each kind. What was even more incredible was that he actually found flat peaches among them, with the same number. As many as a dozen.

Although he was not sure about the names of the previous spiritual fruits, he was definitely familiar with the last kind of flat peach. As the owner of the flat peach tree, how could he not even recognize the flat peach?

"The flat peach in front of me is definitely produced by a flat peach tree with top innate spiritual root quality." Hongjun affirmed in his heart.

After trying hard to calm down his astonishment, Hongjun pointed to a flat peach and asked, "Fellow Taoist of the Five Elements, is this a flat peach grown by a peach tree with ten innate spiritual roots?"

"It is indeed as Taoist fellow Taoist said, it is undoubtedly a flat peach." Mei Zihan replied affirmatively, and at the same time, he had already picked up a flat peach and started eating it.

After receiving Mei Zihan's affirmative answer, Hongjun continued to ask: "What kind of spiritual fruits are the remaining spiritual fruits?"

"Of course it's ginseng fruit, yellow plum, and fairy apricot, Uncle Hongjun." But it was Earth Spirit who answered first.

When the speculation in his heart became reality, Hongjun gradually calmed down and asked Mei Zihan again: "Among the ten innate spiritual roots in the prehistoric era, have you already obtained four of them?"

This time it was Earth Spirit who answered first: "Uncle Hongjun, there are not four kinds, but ten kinds. The ten innate spiritual roots are all in Lingmiao Garden now."

"Okay, don't be too big or too small." Mei Zihan finished eating a flat peach before smiling and scolding the earth spirit.

Compared with the relaxation of Mei Zihan's master and apprentice, Hongjun was obviously more excited than before. After seeing these spiritual fruits, he suspected that Mei Zihan had obtained four top-level innate spiritual roots.

This already made him feel incredible, knowing that he only had one peach tree.

Now that he heard what the earth spirit said, Mei Zihan actually rounded up all the ten innate spiritual roots and planted them in his garden. How could he not be shocked by this, and of course he would also be a little disappointed at the same time.

If Mei Zihan really collects all these spiritual roots, it means that he will not be able to obtain them again in the future. This will inevitably make him extremely disappointed after he obtained the flat peach tree and had high hopes for other innate spiritual roots.

Suddenly, Hongjun felt something was wrong. The flat peach tree was obviously in his place. How could it appear on Chaos Island? However, the flat peach in front of him showed that there must be a flat peach tree on Chaos Island. He couldn't help but make a bold guess: "Are there two peach trees?"

Since he couldn't figure it out, Hongjun asked: "Fellow Taoist Five Elements, Pindao also got a flat peach tree a few days ago, and now he discovered that fellow Taoist also has one here. Could it be that there are two flat peach trees among the ten innate spiritual roots?" ?”

As soon as Hongjun finished asking, Mei Zihan knew what his question was, so he answered truthfully: "There is only one flat peach tree among the ten innate spiritual roots in the ancient world, and it is the one obtained by fellow Taoist. As for Chaos Island, The one above is the one from fellow Taoist.”

"Please ask Fellow Taoist Five Elements to clarify my doubts." Hongjun was a little puzzled.

"The flat peach trees on Chaos Island are taken from the branches of the flat peach trees obtained by fellow Taoists. After careful cultivation, they can become top-level innate spiritual roots. The same is true for the others except for the gourd roots. Their bodies are still in the wild today. ." Mei Zihan explained in detail.

"So that's it. It seems that Fellow Taoist Five Elements did leave some leeway in his actions. He discovered the flat peach tree first, but only took off a branch and did not remove the entire flat peach tree. Only then did I get the flat peach tree. "Hongjun suddenly realized in his heart, and at the same time he was also somewhat grateful to Mei Zihan. If Mei Zihan hadn't been merciful, he would never have been able to get the flat peach tree.

After trying to understand the cause and effect, Hongjun couldn't help but admire: "The Five Elements Dao has a friendly spirit and a good mind!" But he admired Mei Zihan for not choosing to remove the ten innate spiritual roots.

"Unfortunately, Fellow Taoist Hongjun praised me so much. I just don't want to cut off the opportunities for future generations. Anyway, there is not much difference between a whole spiritual root and a branch. It's just a waste of some natural resources and earthly treasures." Mei Zihan said modestly.

"May I ask fellow Taoist Five Elements disciples how to cultivate innate spiritual roots?" Hongjun obviously also wanted to cultivate innate spiritual roots on his own, so he asked this question.

This time, Mei Zihan did not give a detailed answer. After thinking for a while, he said: "Cultivation of innate spiritual roots is difficult or easy. For the specific details, let's go to Lingmiao Garden with Pindao to have a look. Fellow Taoist Hongjun will naturally understand completely."

After saying this, Mei Zihan invited Hongjun to go to Lingmiao Garden together.
