Chapter 27: I Didn’t Expect You to Be This Kind of Hong Yun!

Gradually, the smile on Zhen Yuanzi’s face disappeared.

The pleasantries were over; if Yuan Lian didn’t say something to satisfy him, his attitude might become a little unfriendly.

Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi’s complexion was not so good, Yuan Lian was not worried and said with a frank smile:

“These little things are not important. Doesn’t Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi want to know why the Five Elements Taoist and Xuan Chen chased me down?”

“It’s nothing more than supernatural powers, Spirit Treasures, and other reasons,” Hong Yun said amusedly, without waiting for Zhen Yuanzi to speak.

Based on his experience in the many Yuanhuis, in order to avenge his Fellow Taoists, two Late-stage Golden Immortals chased and killed a Mid-stage Golden Immortal, even offending the other two Sacred Beings of the same realm.

This possibility is not impossible, but very small.

As for revenge for Fellow Daoists, it is nothing more than an excuse; everyone knows it well.

Hong Yun didn’t expose it on the spot either; after all, Innate dignity is still necessary.

“Indeed, but it’s precisely because of an Innate Spiritual Root, the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, the Five-Needle Pine!”

Yuan Lian waved his hand and took out a Wood Spirit Fruit to show that what he said was true.

“What! The Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root!”

At this moment, even the Taoist with a heart as firm as Zhen Yuanzi and as knowledgeable as Hong Yun was suddenly taken aback.

The Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root!

This is a supreme treasure of the Primordial World.

Why could he, Zhen Yuanzi, become a strong cultivator? In addition to his Innate Divine Foundation and his own efforts, the Ginseng Fruit Tree was also an extremely important factor.

When the world first opened, there was no door to the Great Dao and no way to cultivate; how to make progress?

Those with Innate Spirit Treasures can comprehend the Restriction Laws within Innate Spirit Treasures, and those with Innate Spiritual Roots can comprehend the Laws and Dao Rhymes of Innate Spiritual Roots.

Those who have neither can only slowly explore from the Laws carried by themselves and accumulate spirit energy a little bit.

In this way, they will naturally be one step slower than other Gods.

And in the Primordial World at that time, there were spiritual fruits and spiritual materials everywhere, and various treasures of Heaven and Earth.

And a slow step is a slow step.

So, it can be seen how important a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root is to a cultivator.

As for the fruits of the spiritual roots, they are also of great help to the realm of spirit energy.

It can be said that the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root is the supreme treasure to settle down and establish one’s foundation.

At this moment, there was a rare hint of greed in Hong Yun’s eyes.

“Fellow Daoist Hong Yun!”

Zhen Yuanzi swept the dust with his whisk, and a mysterious and profound Dao rhyme permeated the hall.

“Wake up! Do not be led astray!”

The Sound of Dao rang in his ears, and Hong Yun suddenly shuddered; only then did he wake up.

“Immeasurable Heavenly Worthy!” Zhen Yuanzi smiled apologetically and stopped asking about the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Indeed, it doesn’t matter how you know; it’s all trivial.

The important thing is that everyone has each other’s weaknesses (leverage).

Yuan Lian smiled without saying a word. He dared to expose himself, so he was naturally confident in protecting himself.

After using this routine in West Kunlun, Yuan Lian found that this routine is really easy to use.

Sometimes it is like this: all kinds of explanations, all kinds of promises, but it is not as effective as handing over one’s own handle to others.

Look, the relationship between the two parties suddenly eased down.

“Fellow Daoist Hong Yun seems to have an old wound, so this Wood Spirit Fruit is given to Fellow Daoist Hong Yun; consider it a token of my kindness.”

Yuan Lian glanced at Hong Yun and finally looked at Zhen Yuanzi.

He could see Hong Yun’s injury, not because he was stronger than Hong Yun, but because of his special sensitivity.

It is true that although Hong Yun tried his best to suppress it, he suppressed the extremely destructive Chaos Law in his body.

But it was a coincidence that the World Purifying Aura in Yuan Lian made him particularly sensitive to the Laws of Chaos, which made him aware of it.

“Zhen Yuanzi thanks Fellow Daoist Yuan Lian, but in the end, I took advantage of Fellow Daoist. In this way, I will exchange a piece of Ginseng Fruit.”

Before Hong Yun could speak, Zhen Yuanzi immediately agreed.

It was nothing more than that he was so anxious; it was because this friend’s injury was too difficult.

His Ginseng Fruit does not have the power to create vitality; otherwise, it would have been given to him long ago.

“As you wish, Fellow Daoist.” Yuan Lian flicked lightly, and the Wood Spirit Fruit landed firmly on the desk in front of Hong Yun.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yuan Lian.” Hong Yun is also a person who knows etiquette and immediately bowed to thank him.

This Wood Spirit Fruit contained powerful vitality. Although it could not heal his Dao injuries completely, it also made him slightly better and could better suppress the broken Law of Chaos.

Yuan Lian smiled without saying a word and returned a salute.

Of course, his goal was not Ginseng Fruit, but it was a pleasant surprise.

In the next moment, a spiritual fruit that looked like a child who had not yet completed three days of life, with complete limbs and five senses, landed on the table in front of him.

Ginseng Fruit is really like a child!

Yuan Lian’s understanding of Ginseng Fruit is limited to the superficial understanding in “Journey to the West”.

“What a pure Earth Qi breath!” Yuan Lian secretly admired, and then put it away.

Although the appearance is similar, the function is completely different.

It is rumored in Journey to the West that if you smell Ginseng Fruit, you will live 360 years; if you eat one, you will live 47,000 years.

According to this statement, then this Spiritual Root should contain extremely powerful power of creation.

But the root of the Ginseng Fruit Tree is the Essence of the Innate Earth, and it is a Pure Earth-type Spiritual Root.

It is the truth that its fruit contains a strong Innate Earth Qi.

After some transactions, the relationship between the three of them became much closer again, and their conversations were as cordial as friends for many years.

“Fellow Daoist Hong Yun’s injury must have been caused by a ferocious beast, right?”

It is better to say that it is an affirmation than an inquiry.

This erosion of the Law of Chaos turned order into disorder at a fundamental level, a strange law that Yuan Lian had only seen in the blood of the Chaos Demon God.

It’s just that he is very curious about how Hong Yun can suppress the Law of Chaos and not be eroded.

“Fellow Daoist has good eyesight; I am ashamed to say this matter. My injury was indeed left by a fierce beast; it is because my strength is not as good as its.”

Hong Yun admitted frankly that he was injured because he could not beat the beast.

He has traveled countless times in the Primordial Era; he has to admit his mistakes, and he has to stand upright when he is beaten!

If the strength is not as good as others, it is not ashamed to admit it.

Zhen Yuanzi also gave a wry smile when he heard the words and was speechless.

“With Daoist Hong Yun’s cultivation level, it would take at least a few ferocious beasts from the Late-stage Golden Immortal Realm to hurt you, right?”

At this time, Yuan Lian was not just curious.

Because hunting ferocious beasts was one of his established plans.

The blood of the Chaos Demon God is an excellent resource to increase one’s cultivation; how could he let it go so easily?

At this time, it is a good opportunity to learn more about Late-stage Golden Immortal rank fierce beasts.

To know Hong Yun’s strength; even in the state of being injured at the moment, Yuan Lian does not feel he is weaker than Taoist Xuan Chen.

Then in his heyday state, he must be stronger.

“Hey! The only one who injured me was a ferocious beast, and at that time there was the help of Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, as well as the Innate Formation to resist.”

Hearing the words, Hong Yun really smiled, not saying anything angry, but also seemed very proud.

“???”

‘When I put a question mark, it’s not that I have a problem; it’s that you have a problem!’

Yuan Lian was startled; one ferocious beast, still suppressing Hong Yun and fighting Zhen Yuanzi, and the Innate Formation you mentioned is the one outside?

Before Yuan Lian could inquire, Hong Yun couldn’t wait to show off:

“I have to say that it was the most intense fight I have ever experienced. At that time, I was holding the Fire Cloud Sword, and my sword aura cut through the sky, and I cut out with one sword…”

Please, is this the point?

Why did your style change, Hong Yun, when you talked about fighting skills?

“Ahem…” Zhen Yuanzi on the side couldn’t listen anymore and signaled him to be more straightforward.

Hong Yun glanced at Zhen Yuanzi angrily and said in a slightly lower voice:

“However, Qiong Qi, the King of Ferocious Beasts, is indeed powerful, and I’m afraid he is about to touch the edge of the Perfected Immortal Realm!”

Holy… sh*t?
