Chapter 144: The Sanqing Arrive at Mount Sumeru Seeing this, Daoist Xiao Xuan knew that the little girl Nüwa was as cunning as they come and far too difficult to brush off so easily! "Fine, fine! Telling you the truth won't hurt," Xiao Xuan said, seeing Nüwa's unease, and had no choice but to reveal the facts. "The Huangzhong Plum only bears nine ripe fruits every three Yuanhuis. Of those, I asked you to take three to Mount Shouyang, Kunlun Mountain, and Jin'ao Island respectively, and present them to my three teachers! Another three are for you to take to Huoyun Cave and hand over to the Three Sovereigns of the human race! Daoist Ancestor Hongjun is my grandmaster, so naturally he deserves to partake of the Huangzhong Plum! As for the remaining two Huangzhong Plum fruits, one I will use to honor a fallen friend, and the other will help a dear friend take human form! Therefore, all nine fruits have already been distributed, and neither you nor I have the chance to taste the Huangzhong Plum! To make it up to you, little girl, I swallowed my pride and went to Daoist friend Zhenyuanzi to beg these three Ginseng Fruits for you!"
