102: Upon arriving at Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi preached the Dao.

Before long, Li Yun successfully arrived at Wuzhuang Temple by riding a cloud.

However, at this time, Qingfeng and Mingyue had not yet appeared, and the gates of Wuzhuang Temple were closed.

Just as Li Yun was pondering how to notify Zhenyuanzi, a burst of loud laughter drifted over: "Haha, Fellow Daoist Li Yun, you've finally arrived!"

Looking towards the sound, he saw Zhenyuanzi's figure appearing at the entrance; the once tightly shut gates had quietly opened at some point.

Clearly, as Li Yun approached Wuzhuang Temple, Zhenyuanzi had already sensed him and come out to welcome him.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi!"

Cupping his fists in a salute, Li Yun couldn't help but feel that there was a reason why Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun had such good social connections.

Simply coming out to welcome someone of his mere Golden Immortal Realm was something that ninety-nine percent of Cultivators would not do, and it gave a sense of immense respect rather than neglect.

Thinking of this, Li Yun immediately spoke: "I've gained a bit from this seclusion. After hearing from the Ancestral Witches that Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi had invited me, I've presumed to come and disturb you."

"What disturbance? We are all friends!"

Laughing, Zhenyuanzi didn't mind. He stepped forward, took Li Yun by the hand, and led him into Wuzhuang Temple, saying as they walked: "Fellow Daoist, you went to Mount Buzhou before wishing to listen to the Dao, but you didn't have the chance. It just so happens that the ginseng fruit have ripened this time, and I've invited many good friends. We will also be discussing the Dao then; you can listen in."

"However, Fellow Daoist Li Yun, your cultivation speed is truly rapid. To think you've already reached the Golden Immortal Realm Late Stage so quickly. It seems your gains from watching the Battle of Quasi-Saints that day were quite substantial!"

Saying this, a hint of envy appeared in the depths of Zhenyuanzi's eyes.

Although their cultivation was higher—mostly being Grand Unity Golden Immortals...

...they hadn't gained much insight from that battle because the gap between the combatants was simply too vast.

Li Yun, on the other hand...

...even though he was only at the Taiyi True Immortal level at the time, he actually managed to gain some comprehension, even reaching the Golden Immortal Realm Late Stage in such a short period.

With such staggering Comprehension Ability and Aptitude, even if his current cultivation wasn't high, his future potential was definitely immense. It was only a matter of time before he caught up with them.

"I did indeed have some gains!"

With an awkward smile, Li Yun found it difficult to explain his own situation, so he attributed everything to the results of watching the Battle of Quasi-Saints.

Following that, Li Yun took the opportunity to ask the question he wanted to know: "Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, there is something I would like to ask!"

"I have already advanced to the Golden Immortal Realm, even reaching the Golden Immortal Realm Late Stage, but my Five Qi Primordial Fruit has yet to condense!"

"Although I have a general idea of how to proceed, I am not familiar with it. I would like to ask for your guidance on how exactly the Five Qi Primordial Fruit is condensed and what the specifics are."

Hearing this, Zhenyuanzi was first taken aback, then looked at Li Yun with some surprise: "Fellow Daoist, you haven't condensed your Dao Fruit yet?"

"That is truly incredible. To reach the Golden Immortal Realm Late Stage without condensing a Dao Fruit... if you succeed in condensing it, wouldn't you step directly into the Golden Immortal Realm Perfection?"

"In that case, you would only need to undergo the Nine Tribulations to directly enter the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. This is truly good news. Your gains from the trip to Mount Buzhou are even more outstanding than I imagined."

At this point, Zhenyuanzi sighed with emotion once again.

It's infuriating to compare oneself to others!

Even when they went through this step back then, it took them thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

But what about Li Yun? He reached this level in a mere thousand years, and once the Five Qi Primordial Fruit is condensed, the benefits will be even greater.

Thinking of this, Zhenyuanzi immediately spoke: "Since you've asked, I will share my humble understanding and information!"

"The so-called Five Qi Primordial Fruit uses the Five Elements Qi as its foundation, integrating it into the Five Viscera and Six Bowels to create a state of mutual generation of the Five Elements within the body!"

"Once the Five Qi Primordial Fruit is condensed, one can mobilize the Power of the Five Elements, providing additional amplification and enhancement when performing spells and Divine Abilities within the scope of the Five Elements."

"Furthermore, the essence of a Dao Fruit is an amplification effect. This is true for the current Five Qi Primordial Fruit, the subsequent Three Flowers Crowned Dao Fruit, and the great dao fruit!"

Having said that, Zhenyuanzi paused, as if remembering something, and slapped his forehead: "Oh right, before condensing the Five Qi Primordial Fruit, it's best to first absorb top-tier Innate items to ensure the Five Elements Qi in your body is at its most abundant and powerful level. This way, the condensed Dao Fruit will have a greater effect and more power."

"According to the classification, Dao Fruits are divided into nine Ranks. After condensing, divine rune will appear; each additional Divine Marking represents an increase of one grade. The amplification for spells and Divine Abilities within the Five Elements will also increase from one to nine times."

So that's how it is!

To think a mere Dao Fruit had so many intricacies!

After listening to Zhenyuanzi's explanation, Li Yun came to a realization and felt extremely fortunate that he hadn't acted recklessly. Otherwise, while he might have condensed the Five Qi Primordial Fruit, its grade would definitely not have been high, and he wouldn't have been able to maximize its value.

With this in mind, Li Yun began to ponder ways to obtain top-tier Five Elements Qi.

"Fellow Daoist Li Yun!"

At this moment, Zhenyuanzi continued: "My ginseng fruit are transformed from top-tier wood attribute Spiritual Qi!"

"I'll give you nine of them when the time comes; it should be enough to push the wood attribute in your body to the limit!"

"In addition, some Fellow Daoists in the backyard also have similar treasures. I'll introduce you to them later to see if we can gather what you need to complete the condensation of your Five Qi Primordial Fruit."

While talking, Li Yun and Zhenyuanzi had arrived at the backyard.

"Fellow Daoist Li Yun!"

Seeing Li Yun, Hongyun, who was sitting next to the main seat, also stood up to greet him.

Although Li Yun's cultivation wasn't high, Hongyun found him agreeable. Even though they had only met a few times, he felt that Li Yun was a friend worth knowing.

"It's him!"

"The Cultivator who entered the Witch Clan back then!"

At the same time, the other Cultivators also saw Li Yun and recognized him.

For a moment, the Cultivators in the area were somewhat dumbfounded, subconsciously discussing: "Wasn't his cultivation at the Taiyi True Immortal realm? How did he reach the Golden Immortal Realm Late Stage so quickly?"

"Were his words about gaining insight from watching the Battle of Quasi-Saints true?"

"Absurd. None of us gained anything back then, yet he actually succeeded."
