Chapter 23: Innate Gourd Vine

"Apologize?" Hong Yun looked at the two with a strange expression, and said, "My two Taoist friends, how do you want to apologize?"

After these words were spoken, Jie Yin and Zhunti were a little stuck. They did not expect that Hong Yun would be so straightforward.

Generally speaking, if they are so sincere in saying they want to apologize, as long as the previous offense was not too serious, shouldn't they immediately resolve their grievances and become good friends?

At least it's like this on the surface, right?
What went wrong? Obviously, Jie Yin and Zhunti only came with an open mouth to apologize, but they didn't think about actually paying anything.

The two brothers Jie Yin and Zhunti looked at each other, and they understood each other's meaning.

Hong Yun is a real person, but he is too real.

However, since they were provoked by Hong Yun's words, it was difficult for the two to step down. Or perhaps, they really didn't want to offend Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi.

These two people became disciples of the saint, and Hongjun almost said explicitly that they would become saints in the future.

It's not worth it no matter how you look at it to offend two future saints.

Therefore, the two of them exchanged glances and made a decision that made them very sad.

He took out a congenital spiritual root and handed it over, saying, "Daoist Hongyun, Daoist Zhenyuan, I wonder if this is enough to make amends?"

Even though Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi were both knowledgeable, they were still shocked by Zhunti's action.

This is because the innate spiritual root that Zhunti took out was the bitter bamboo, one of the ten great spiritual roots.

A top-quality innate spiritual root.

Zhunti actually used it to apologize to them?
Isn’t it said that the West is very poor?
Zhunti and Jie Yin are even more stingy and never give a penny.

Why are you so generous now?

Hongyun felt that he had underestimated the two. Although Jie Yin and Zhunti were poor, they were truly extraordinary in their minds.

This can also be seen as a great wisdom.

If Zhunti took out an ordinary innate spiritual treasure and tried to cheat them, they would be helpless.

This matter is over.

But this is different from the original. The original two people have been determined by Hongjun and will definitely become saints in the future.

So the two of them can play tricks without worrying about any problems.

But now, the ones who are destined to be the future saints are not them, but Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi.

The situation is the other way around.

In order to settle the cause and effect between the two parties, Jie Yin and Zhunti decided to make a decisive move and would rather give up a top-grade innate spiritual root than continue to offend Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi.

What wisdom is this?
"My two Taoist friends, you will surely achieve great success in the future."

Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi could not help but become solemn. They looked at each other, and Hongyun took the bitter bamboo and said, "Then the cause and effect between us will be settled here."

Upon hearing this, Jie Yin and Zhunti were delighted and praised it as a great kindness. However, after the two resolved the cause and effect, they did not want to part ways, but continued to chat with Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun.

He called him "Fifth Senior Brother" and "Sixth Senior Brother" all the time. His shamelessness made Hong Yun speechless.

Zhen Yuanzi also benefited greatly from it and told the two of them some interesting stories about spiritual practice. With this back and forth exchange, and with Jie Yin and Zhunti deliberately trying to please them, it seemed as if the two sides had been good friends for many years.

Zhen Yuanzi even got so excited that he invited the two to go to Wanshou Mountain to taste his ginseng fruit. Jie Yin and Zhunti were very excited to learn that Zhen Yuanzi also had such a spiritual root, but they did not dare to speak up immediately, and went to see Hongyun instead.

It turned out that the two of them had already seen it. Although Zhen Yuanzi was the elder among the two, not to mention that it was Hong Yun who sat on the cushion first, it could be seen mostly from normal times.

Zhen Yuanzi has always been centered around Hongyun, so whether he can go to Wanshou Mountain depends on Hongyun's intention.

Otherwise, if they agreed to it right away, wouldn't they be offending Hong Yun again?
All the previous hard work has been wasted.

Hong Yun saw how the two looked and knew what they were thinking. Originally, Hong Yun had some prejudice against these two people.

Firstly, this person could be considered his "archenemy" who had taken his seat, so Hong Yun was naturally unhappy.

Secondly, having read so many ancient novels in his previous life, Hong Yun had preconceived ideas and thought that these two people were shameless.

Well, although I have now seen that he is indeed a shameless person, it does not mean that we cannot make friends with shameless people.

In Hongyun's opinion, dealing with these two Westerners is much easier than dealing with the Three Pure Ones.

As for the Three Pure Ones, even their own brothers still have to scheme against each other, while looking at the two people in the West, there is definitely a huge difference between them.

Of course, this is only for internal use and not for external use for Jie Yin and Zhunti. However, as long as he and Zhen Yuanzi have the strength to suppress the two of them, he is not afraid of them causing trouble.

Hong Yun was somewhat confident about this. After all, things were different now.

If he and Zhen Yuanzi can really become saints in the future, then even if Jie Yin and Zhunti can also become saints, they will have to continue to curry favor with them.

Moreover, Hong Yun also has a perfect version of the method of beheading the three corpses. Coupled with the world's enlightenment, Hong Yun really doesn't believe that he will not be able to achieve enlightenment.

Thinking of this, Hong Yun smiled and said to the two of them, "Since Brother sincerely invites you, you two Taoist friends should not refuse."

Upon hearing this, Jie Yin and Zhunti were overjoyed and expressed their willingness.

So the four of them formed a group and continued to travel through the chaos.

Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun were not stingy either. Hong Yun put away his ninth-grade lotus platform, then jumped onto Zhen Yuanzi's twelfth-grade pure white lotus, and invited Jie Yin and Zhunti to come up.

With this Pure White Lotus to resist the chaotic energy, the four of them only need to activate the escape light and fly.

Jie Yin and Zhunti were extremely envious of this. The reason why they arrived at Zixiao Palace late to listen to the teachings was not because, firstly, the journey was too long, and secondly, they did not have such defensive magical treasures?

Therefore, time was wasted in chaos.

However, Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun are not the kind of boys who bring wealth. Let them be envious, but I have no intention of giving them treasures.

In addition to the Twelve-Rank Pure World White Lotus and the Ninth-Rank Pure World White Lotus, the two also used the lotus seeds from the two lotus flowers to open up another lotus pond in Wanshou Mountain.

There were more than ten white lotuses growing in the lotus pond, but they had only grown to the third grade now, and could only be regarded as lower-grade innate spiritual treasures, so it was not easy to give them away.

However, the four of them were returning to Wanshou Mountain on their way back, but they passed by Buzhou Mountain. Suddenly, the system prompt sounded again in Hongyun's mind.

"Ding, it is detected that the innate gourd vine is about to give birth to seven mature gourds. Please make the following selection."

"Choice 1: Go and collect your own opportunity, and you will be rewarded with an innate spiritual treasure upgrade card. (You can only upgrade a high-grade innate spiritual treasure to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and you need to consume a number of innate spiritual treasures with the same attributes)"

"Choice 2: Give up the opportunity and go back to Wanshou Mountain directly. You will be rewarded with a top-grade innate spiritual treasure."
