In the Great Dao True Realm, Xuanqing began to refine some quirky Spiritual Treasures while leisurely paying attention to the "Palace of Darkness."

Of course, the "Spirit Root Mutual Aid Committee of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds" was his doing.

To be exact, it was created by Xuanqing's alternate account "Other Shore Great Power," whose true form was an Other Shore Flower by the Yellow Spring River.

In fact, this alternate account was made by Xuanqing on a whim and spent most of the time traveling through the Primordial realm, occasionally lending it to Wangchuan to oversee.

For example, the claim that the headquarters was the "Palace of Darkness" was something Wangchuan had updated recently when he logged in.

He thought the name Xuanqing had chosen before was too long and too conspicuous.

[Qing Tong]: President, I want to submit an application!

Xuanqing glanced at it.

Reply: An application for recruiting new members? Is it for the "Earthen Family" or the "Palace of Darkness"?

[Qing Tong]: It's an application to join the "Earthen Family."

What followed was a string of information introducing the "Vermilion Fruit Tree," an Innate Spirit Root.

Xuanqing checked it, hmm, made up on the spot.

[Other Shore Great Power]: Let's vote, I approve this one.

[San Hua Niang Niang]: Approved, meow~~

[Yue Yuezi]: Seconded!

[Da Li]: Seconded! +1

…

[Gourd Merchant]: Seconded! +1

[Elder Liu]: Seconded! +1

[Qing Lian]: Seconded! +1

Watching the messages popping up in the chatbox, the Innate Parasol Tree felt delighted.

"Everyone agrees, I'll add you to the family now!"

The Innate Parasol Tree immediately brought Vermilion Bird into the "Earthen Family."

Vermilion Bird looked around the chatbox with curiosity and, following the instructions from the Parasol, sent a message:

[Vermilion Fruit]: Newbie reporting in!

The veterans from the Palace of Darkness decisively switched groups to spectate.

[Bamboo Sword]: Watching the newbie!

[Yue Yuezi]: Another newbie, yay!

[San Hua Niang Niang]: No yays, meow~~

[Da Li]: Let's give a good impression to the new member, maintain formation.

Then Vermilion Bird saw [Yue Yuezi][San Hua Niang Niang][Da Li]withdraw their messages at the same time.

And then they simultaneously sent out: Watching the newbie!

[Tour Guide Immortal]: Once you're in the group, we're all family here, everyone come welcome the newbie!

[Xiao Sang]didn't speak, but using administrator privileges, he nudged all members.

From different Tao Domains, different worlds, different universes, many Spirit Roots immediately bubbled up greetings.

"New member? Jiu You Great World sends congratulations!" The Divine Peach Tree guarding the Netherworld responded quickly.

"New member? Star Sea sends congratulations." A Star Tree hiding in a portion of the cosmos sent a message.

"Ten Thousand Great Mountains send congratulations." In the Great Wilderness, a massive Qing Sang Tree king overshadowed the sun, its canopy teeming with colorful poisons.

"North Sea sends congratulations." In the vast ocean, a continent floats, carried on a gigantic turtle.

…

"Infinite Great Universe sends congratulations." [Pure Sea Grass]Ancestor Dragon shouted nonsense in the chat box.

"Hao Tian Great Universe sends congratulations." [Putao Ancestor]Zhun Ti typed very seriously.

"Golden Turtle Island sends congratulations." [Water Green Duckweed]popped a bubble.

This last one was Daoist Lord Yu Chen.

When Xuanqing created the group, he made a point of inviting him.

Originally, Daoist Lord Yu Chen wanted to decline, saying he had no Spirit Root.

But Xuanqing countered: How could that patch of duckweed in Biyou Heaven not be considered a Spirit Root?

And so, Daoist Lord Yu Chen, bearing the alias [Water Green Duckweed], joined the Spirit Root Mutual Aid Committee.

At Undying Volcano, Vermilion Bird stared at the chatbox which soon showed "999+" messages, falling into deep thought.

So many people!

No, so many Spirit Roots!

Just then, the Innate Parasol reminded her, "Get ready, the President is about to distribute Treasure Bags!"

Ding!!

[Other Shore Great Power]released 9999 Treasure Bags.

The Innate Parasol Tree joyfully picked up a Fortune Bag: "The President is so generous!"

"The President is the best, yay!"

"The President is majestic! Meow~~"

…

[Pure Sea Grass]Ancestor Dragon shouted from afar: "President, I love you to death!"

He led the rest of the group astray.

A bunch of Spirit Roots followed him, shouting embarrassing phrases.

Which left Vermilion Bird speechless.

Ding!

[Pure Sea Grass]was muted for three hundred days.

"Pfft~~"

Vermilion Bird burst into laughter: "This can be muted?"

"Of course, try looking up the group chat guidelines. There are many fun functions in the big family."

The Innate Parasol Tree asked, "What did you get?"

Vermilion Bird opened the Fortune Bag.

"A Qi Fortune Coin?"

The Innate Parasol Tree smiled and said, "Not bad, carry it on you to increase your Qi Fortune."

"Can Innate Divine beings also increase their Qi Fortune?" Vermilion Bird asked.

The Parasol Tree stated, "Of course, the President is very powerful!"

Vermilion Bird nodded.

To manage an online chat and connect Spirit Roots from All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, this [Other Shore Great Power] definitely wasn't ordinary.

"By the way, there was one who said she was from Feng Qi Mountain, who in our clan is she?"

Vermilion Bird noticed a Spirit Root named [Feng Lixi], and she calculated that the feedback indeed pointed to a Spirit Root.

"[Feng Lixi]? I have no idea."

Unexpectedly, the Innate Parasol Tree did not recognize this one from Feng Qi Mountain.

"It must have been when the group was created, the president added me in."

"Actually, there are many Daoists whom I don't recognize."

"But don't worry, everyone is very enthusiastic and doesn't have any ill intentions."

At this moment, in Taixu Cave Heaven.

Nuwa was refining the Mountain and River Map while keeping an eye on the Daoists chit-chatting in the group.

The Fortune Bag she picked up also contained a Qi Fortune Coin.

"This thing is quite interesting."

Nuwa casually incorporated the Qi Fortune Coin into the Mountain and River Map.

In the group chat, the welcoming event had ended, but everyone remained active.

[Gourd Merchant]: "Selling gourd seeds, does anyone need gourd seeds?"

The newbie Vermilion Bird asked: "What's the effect of the Daoist's gourd seeds?"

[Gourd Merchant]: "My gourd seeds can grow Gourd Babies! Gourd Babies in all colors!"

This left Vermilion Bird stunned.

In Five Towns Temple, the Ginseng Fruit Tree was watching the chat box, feeling that this Gourd Merchant was plagiarizing its idea.

Because it tried to sell Ginseng Fruits before, casually claiming "Ginseng Fruits can grow into Ginseng Babies."

It wasn't exactly fraud, since Ginseng Fruits naturally look like babies.

Xuanqing was also watching this [Gourd Merchant].

He suspected that this was one of the ten Innate Spirit Roots, specifically the Innate Gourd Vine.

After all, he didn't just randomly invite people when creating the group.

There were many identities within the big family; however, every fella from the Palace of Darkness had cost quite a bit of Qi Fortune to make contact with.

"Gourd Daoist, let's chat privately."

Soon, someone contacted the [Gourd Merchant].

In the private chat.

[Gourd Merchant] sent a laughing emoji: "Daoist Feng, hello there."

"Nice to meet you!"

Nuwa was also adept at using emojis.

"Daoist, what kind of gourd seeds do you want to buy? I have red gourd seeds, golden gourd seeds, green gourd seeds..." [Gourd Merchant] introduced his products to Nuwa.

Nuwa asked: "Can they really grow into Gourd Babies?"

[Gourd Merchant] sent a funny emoji: "They can, but they need a special cultivation method."

"For example, to cultivate this red gourd seed, you need to..."

The Gourd Merchant, as if afraid that Nuwa would suspect him of fraud, actually gave her a brief explanation on how to cultivate Gourd Babies.

After listening, Nuwa replied with an emoji of sudden realization.

"Do you also sell the Innate Gourd Vine?" Nuwa suddenly asked.

[Gourd Merchant]"..."

After a dead silence.

A wet sweating emoji popped up in the chat box.

In one of the countless projections of Buzhou Mountain in the All Heavens World, inside a Cave Heaven World, there was a naturally formed Innate Array.

The Innate Gourd Vine was hidden among the vast clouds, its form like a swimming dragon visible whenever the mountain breeze swept through.

At this moment, it was breaking out in a cold sweat.

Fine droplets formed on the lush green leaves.

"Are you joking, Daoist?" the Innate Gourd Vine asked tentatively.

Nuwa replied: "I'm serious, I'm in need of a section of gourd vine recently, preferably the kind with Creation power."

The Innate Gourd Vine was too frightened to reply.

The requests of [Feng Lixi] targeted its very entity, how could it respond?

"Why are you not talking, Daoist?" Nuwa asked.

After a long while.

An emoji soliciting advice from an expert appeared from the other side of the chat.

"Who is this great Daoist?" the Innate Gourd Vine decided to ask first.

"Don't be afraid Daoist, I'm a good Spirit Root, and I never rob anyone," Nuwa said.

"...Shivering with fear!"

The Innate Gourd Vine was already planning to move house.

But then, Nuwa sent another message.

"Don't run, Daoist, rest assured, I don't know your address."

The Innate Gourd Vine stared at this sentence, not daring to move an inch.

The Innate Spiritual Energy of the entire Cave Heaven World seemed to freeze.

Nuwa thought she had scared the [Gourd Merchant] away as he had been silent for a while.

But after a moment, messages furiously popped up from the other side.

"Mercy, great Daoist!"

"I'm just a seller of gourd seeds, please, you are magnanimous, spare me!"

"As long as you let me go, not to mention the Creation Gourd Vine, I will even send you the Destruction Gourd Vine!"

The desperation for survival was evident in every word of [Gourd Merchant].

Nuwa grinned: "That's really not necessary."

"I just have a big Creation endeavor coming up and need a Creation Holy Artifact to complete it."

"It just so happens that I have a fate with Daoist, so I asked. There's no other intention. Perhaps after the deed is done, Daoist might receive quite a few benefits."

The Innate Gourd Vine read those three sentences carefully ten times.

Finally, it was sure that the other side was not fooling around.

[Gourd Merchant]: "Could you briefly describe what this Creation endeavor is?"

"Heaven Creation!"

Lastly, Nuwa added: "To be a creator, creating all things, that sort of thing."

"Understood."

[Gourd Merchant] pondered for a moment, then sent a Dao marker.

"Let's do this, we should meet up at a designated place."

"Alright!"

Nuwa readily agreed.

"When we meet, don't be scared, I really am a good Spirit Root, I never rob!"

"...You don't have to emphasize that."

The more you emphasize, the more frightened I am!
