Chapter Fifteen: Collecting the Secret Liquid from the Well and Creating the Yellow Dragon

  Zhenyuanzi thought of this and immediately set off. He knew that the calabaza root and banana root of his previous life had both fallen on this mountain, and many innate spiritual treasures were also born on this mountain. Although those two spiritual roots are now in his own earth book, who knows if there won't be other spiritual roots or treasures falling on the mountain.

  This mountain is really too high, Zhenyuanzi has been walking and resting, after several days, still wandering around the foot of the mountain. If it goes on like this, who knows when we can reach the top?

  To know the true body of Pangu, it is several hundred million zhang high. When supporting the sky, who knows how much longer it has become? This mountain is transformed from its spine, and its height can be imagined! Zhenyuanzi walks with both feet, but fears that even a kalpa may not reach the peak.

  It's not like Hong Meng now, where there are living beings everywhere. Zhenyuanzi also didn't want to reveal his golden body, startling the worldly people and exposing his own tracks. He simply gave up exploring the foot of the mountain and activated the shrinking space divine ability he had gained from the Jiaomu Spirit Root, rushing towards the top of the mountain with all his heart.

  The foot of the mountain is the lower end of the spine, close to where impurities are discharged. It's unlikely that there would be any precious treasures here! Even if there were, any living being could easily obtain them, so how could they possibly be cheap for oneself?

  This time, he had been rushing for decades. As Zhenyuanzi was about to reach the top of Buzhou Mountain, he slowed down and searched carefully.

  The grandeur of the mountain is unmatched, towering above the vast expanse, its extent unknown for tens of thousands of miles. Even at its peak, there are mountains and valleys, gorges and plains, with no difference in terrain compared to the mainland of Honghuang.

  Zhenyuanzi traveled for hundreds of years, and although he also collected some spiritual flowers and herbs, as well as materials for magical treasures, there were no exceptional ones. The best treasure was also something unseen. He only obtained a piece of jade stone, which had an extraordinary quality and could be used to create something.

  This jade stone was transformed from Pangu's teeth. After Pangu's physical body collapsed, it fell on Mount Buzhou. Its entire body is pure white and very different from the jade stones of later generations. It is the most solid part of Pangu's body. Even a cultivation base like Zhenyuanzi's would find it difficult to damage it in the slightest without relying on magical artifacts.

  If it were just stubborn, that would be fine. But this jade is not only delicate and crystal clear in texture, but also has a weak spiritual consciousness, although fragile, it has a foundation, which makes Zhenyuanzi like it.

  As for other things, there is nothing particularly unusual, so I won't mention them.

  On this day, Zhenyuanzi walked and stopped, seeing the terrain in front of him was low-lying, with a deep and secluded landscape, which was a mountain valley. He walked closer to take a look and saw that the spiritual energy in the valley was extremely thick, even surpassing other places, and he faintly felt something unusual, so he wanted to explore it further.

  The valley is quite deep, and the further in you go, the lower the terrain becomes. The primordial spiritual energy also becomes thicker. Zhenyuanzi walked down the path for a long time, but still hadn't reached the bottom, only to find that the entrance of the valley had become narrower.

  At this time, looking down again, I only saw dense clouds shrouding everything, and it was unknown how deep or shallow they were. Those dense clouds turned out to be the primordial chaotic spiritual clouds!

  What a wonderful place! Even in the midst of the mountains, I have never seen such a blessed land!

  Zhenyuanzi became even more curious, his inquiring mind growing stronger, and he quickened his pace.

  Finally arrived at the bottom of the valley, only to see in the very center of the mountain valley, there was a deep well, and the endless spiritual energy of chaos emerged from the well.

  However, there was another thing that attracted Zhen Yuansu even more than the mysterious well.

  That is a green pine in the well, growing straight up, its top piercing through the spiritual clouds, and its twisted roots reaching into the well. The trunk resembles a blue dragon, the crown is like a precious pagoda, and the leaves are like silver needles. There are fruits on the tree, with wings on the fruit, fully covered with scales, shaped like a shield.

  What a great pine! The main trunk is straight and majestic, with an aura that is awe-inspiring. Although it's not a naturally spiritual root, it surpasses one. Moreover, having just sprouted its spiritual consciousness, it becomes even more extraordinary.

  "Good foundation! Good temperament! In the future, when you cultivate your spiritual awareness, you will become my first disciple to open up a new mountain and take charge of our sect. With this, our sect's prosperity is assured!"

  Having said that, she pushed open her hair bun, revealed a book on the ground, and put the green pine into it.

  When Cang Song entered the Earth Book, his spiritual root was pulled out of the well, bringing with it a large amount of green liquid. This liquid seemed like water but wasn't water, and its spiritual energy surged forth in a way that Zhen Yuanzi had never seen before.

  Zhenyuanzi was even more curious, and hastily went forward to take a look. He only saw the water in the well, which was deep blue like jade, and couldn't see the bottom. When he scooped it up with his palm, it converged like a pearl, not sticking or scattering, extremely thick and viscous, as if it were a solid substance!

  When Zhenyuanzi once again extended his divine consciousness to explore the bottom of the well, he found that it was immeasurably deep, extending straight down for tens of millions of zhang, and still had not reached the bottom. Even with his own strong divine consciousness, he could not see its entirety. This well probably went straight through to the bottom of Buzhou Mountain.

  "This well water, isn't it the transformation of Pangu's spinal cord?" Zhenyuanzi suddenly realized. Isn't this place located right in the center of Mount Buzhou? The spiritual liquid in the well is so mysterious, if not the spinal cord, what else could it be?

  This spine is an extraordinary treasure, it is the essence of the spinal column. Mount Kunlun is transformed from the spinal column, with a unique spirit, and also relies heavily on this.

  A rare treasure is at hand, how can it be let go? Heaven bestows and yet one refuses, only to incur blame. Zhenyuanzi thought for a moment, then had an idea.

  He patted the back of his head, and the Causal Cauldron appeared. He faced the well mouth, spewed out a brilliant light, like a long whale absorbing water, and absorbed the spiritual liquid in the well. Although the well mouth was not very large, the well was extremely deep, and the amount of spiritual liquid inside was astonishingly large, like a long river or a great river, flowing endlessly into the Causal Cauldron.

  Just as they were about to collect it, a loud explosion was heard. Beside the precious well, in the middle of a mountain cliff, rocks burst and earth flew out, and a huge object rushed out from inside.

  Such a divine object, indeed has a spirit guardian.

  At first glance, this object has the head of a snake and the neck of a deer, fish scales and deer horns, cow ears and eagle claws. The shape is very familiar to Zhenyuanzi, it is a yellow divine dragon.

  That divine dragon's body was coiled and twisted, its length unknown, amounting to tens of thousands of zhang. As soon as it appeared, it looked extremely enraged. It let out a loud roar towards the sky, as if thunder had struck, and its piercing gaze shot out from its bronze bell-like eyes, coldly sweeping across until it saw Zhenyuanzi, at which point it was about to pounce over.

  Zhenyuanzi was not afraid, and with one finger, he controlled the Ding of Creation, which stopped absorbing spiritual energy and instead welcomed the Yellow Dragon.

  That yellow dragon saw a small cauldron flying over, not even the size of his own eyes, and he didn't care at all, without dodging or evading. Suddenly, he suffered a loss. All that was heard was a dull "thud" sound, as if struck by a massive force of ten thousand kilograms, and instantly, a big lump appeared on the yellow dragon's head!

  What kind of power is the creation of the tripod, can it be resisted by the yellow dragon who has just been transformed for a short time? If it weren't for Zhenyuanzi holding back, the yellow dragon's skull would have been smashed into mush just now!

  Huang Long didn't know what was good or bad for him and wouldn't give up easily, so he charged again from another side. "Dang"! He was hit once more by the Causal Furnace.

  His anger grew even more intense, thinking that Zhenyuanzi's skill was only this much and didn't hold back, he continued to pounce on him repeatedly.

  All that could be heard was the sound of crashing, echoing through the air. Huang Long repeatedly charged forward, each time colliding with the Causal Cauldron. After over a hundred collisions, he finally realized his mistake and stopped. At this point, he felt dizzy and disoriented, unaware of what had happened, and his head was already covered in large bumps.

  It's just with the power of Zhuohuading, he can still withstand so many physical impacts, his skills are indeed extraordinary.

  Huang Long still did not give up, and spat out a mass of yellow cloud fog towards Zhen Yuanzi. However, with the Creation Furnace present, how could he succeed? As soon as it appeared, it was absorbed by the Creation Furnace.

  This mass of yellow fog is actually a genuine Earth-traversing Spirit Cloud. Even in the "Treatise on the Supreme Treasure of the Earth" by Zhenyuanzi, there has never been such a pure and precious Earth-traversing treasure seen before, and it can't help but move one's emotions. This cloud is extremely heavy, if one were to be enveloped by it, even an ordinary immortal would likely be unable to move.

  That dragon found this method unbearable, feeling both furious and helpless.

  Zhenyuanzi smiled and said: "What kind of fate do you have that makes you come to provoke me? Do you know the severity now?"

  Huang Long heard this and became even more enraged, suddenly spitting out human words, scolding: "You, you Daoist, are really detestable, ruining my home, taking my treasure, it's infuriating me to death!"

  "Hey! I just collected some spiritual liquid from the well, how did it ruin your home? The spiritual liquid is clearly ownerless, how did it become a treasure of your family?"

  "Huang Long Dao said: 'You still want to be unreasonable! I was born at the edge of the well and this well is one with me. You absorb the spiritual liquid, how can you not ruin my home? I rely on this thing to cultivate, day by day taking food from it, how can it not be a treasure of my family?'"

  Zhenyuanzi listened and suddenly understood the origin of Huanglong, saying: "It turns out that it is the main tendon of Pangu's spine, with a solid skull, indeed extraordinary!"

  Huang Long's mind was simple and pure, and he didn't catch the sarcasm in Zhenyuanzi's words. He thought he was being genuinely praised, so his expression slightly cleared up, and he said: "Since you know Pangu, you should understand my reasoning. I won't pursue this further, just return my spiritual liquid and leave quickly."

  This yellow dragon has just transformed and hasn't experienced worldly things, like an infant, but also reveals a few hints of cuteness.

  Zhenyuanzi intentionally teased him, saying: "I was once friends with Pangu, and since you are the main vein of his transformation, you should be my junior. A junior who does not show respect to a senior is guilty of what crime? Moreover, this spiritual liquid belongs to Pangu, and after Pangu's demise, it became ownerless. How can it be yours? If we really want to talk about it, my relationship with him is even closer than yours!"

  Huang Long heard this and felt that there was some reason to it, suddenly he had nothing to say in response, and a look of embarrassment appeared. After a while, he thought that the words of Zhenyuanzi were not necessarily true, and he strongly argued: "You say you are friends with Pangu, but just saying so is not convincing, how can I believe it? If you don't show your real abilities, don't think about making me surrender!"

  "Hey! You're still not convinced? Don't you have enough bandages on your head?"

  Huang Long recalled the situation earlier, his scalp felt a chill, and he angrily said: "You're just relying on this small cauldron being sturdy, what can you do to me? If you have the ability, then put away your treasure and fight me with bare hands!"

  Zhenyuanzi smiled and said, "So it's you who are poor and have no magic treasures, yet you come to provoke me." Seeing Huang Long's frantic expression, he was about to go berserk. Then, in a leisurely tone, he said, "Alright, if I don't show some of my skills, you won't know my divine powers. However, if you want to fight with me empty-handed, we need to add a wager first. Do you have the guts?"

  "What is the way of gambling?"

  "If I lose, I'll return the spiritual liquid to you and leave. If you lose, you must acknowledge me as your master and follow my orders from then on!"

  Huang Long's eyes rolled around and he said, "This way of gambling is too unfair."

  Zhenyuanzi didn't expect Huang Long to become clever and asked: "What is considered fair?"

  Huang Long said: "If you lose, you'll also have to give me that small tripod from just now." His expression was like a child asking an adult for a toy, somewhat shy.

  Zhenyuanzi saw it and thought it was even more ridiculous, saying: "It's settled then, one word is enough."

  It is indeed:

  The main vein is also quite strange and wonderful.

  Few people know the spiritual liquid in the well.

  Not supernatural nor mysterious

  Innate accomplishments have profound implications.
