Chapter 113 Seven-Leaf Spirit Mist Tea
Sang Yuebai once again received an uninvited guest, and his old friend insisted that he pretend that the guest had invited him.
His precious spiritual tea is going to suffer again!
However, in order for his old friend to finally see his promise, he had no choice but to accept the loss.
Sang Yuebai was quite happy to see Xi'er again, as he had already witnessed her extraordinary talent during their last meeting.
She was able to gain profound insights from just a simple fan painting depicting the four seasons, thus breaking through to a higher level of understanding.
What kind of surprise will she give him this time?
Sang Yuebai stood at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, greeting everyone with a smile: "Xi'er is here? Old Sang has missed you so much!"
"Thank you, Lao Sang! I brought you a gift!" Xi'er replied with a smile.
Bo Yiyan had always known that his daughter Xi'er was popular, but he never expected that the Lord of Zhaixing City would be so down-to-earth. After only one meeting, he became a close friend of Xi'er despite their age difference.
After exchanging pleasantries and introductions, Bo Yiyan quickly presented a gift of thanks, saying, "Lord Sang, thanks to you last time, my Xi'er was able to break through smoothly. This is just a small token of my gratitude, please accept it!"
The gift Bo Yiyan presented as a token of gratitude was no ordinary item; it was a bottle of Tian Shu Life-Sustaining Dew, which he had concocted by extracting one-tenth of his own life force.
Extracting life force is something that most alchemists and physicians would not easily attempt, as it would shorten their own lifespan and could even cause their cultivation to stagnate.
Fortunately, Bo Yiyan has his contracted plant, Qiansi, which possesses the ability to devour the life force of all things.
When Bo Yiyan encounters a mortal enemy or a ferocious beast, he will release Qian Si and let it devour their life force.
Then Qiansi was able to infuse a portion of his life force into Bo Yiyan's body to replenish the life force that had been extracted from him.
Sang Yuebai took the glass bottle and probed it with her divine sense, immediately sensing a rich vitality.
His expression immediately turned serious. He had originally thought that Xi'er's elders were just low-level cultivators from the lower realm, and that the gifts they could offer would be insignificant in the eyes of him, the city lord of Zhaixing City.
Unexpectedly, Bo Yiyan produced such a treasure.
This potion can truly save lives in critical moments. If it were put up for auction on the black market, it would probably attract fierce competition from various powerful families.
"Fellow Daoist Bo, this gift is far too precious!" Sang Yuebai said.
"Lord Sang, you may not know this, but my Xi'er is the darling of the whole family."
The reason I accompanied her to Yunyuan Shangjing this time was to make it easier for her to break through here.
"You helped her break through, and this kindness deserves a more valuable gift," Bo said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Ye Tanji wanted to say that Xi'er owed him a favor, but given his current status, he had no right to say such a thing.
"Old Sang, stop being so fussy. My Uncle Bo gave you a gift, just accept it."
"Come, come, look at the dream-fulfilling ball I prepared for you. Do you like it?" Xi'er handed the item to him like a treasure and then explained its effects.
"I love it, I love it so much. This gift is exactly what I wanted. Tonight I'll use it to fulfill a dream," Sang Yuebai said sincerely.
Having received two generous gifts in succession, Sang Yuebai was certainly not the kind of stingy person who only took and never gave back.
He immediately took out a beautifully carved jade box from his storage bracelet. When he opened it, the air was filled with a delicate and elegant aroma of tea.
"Hehe! I didn't expect you to be so generous today, actually willing to take out this Seven-Leaf Spirit Mist Tea!" Ye Tanji said with a brightening eye.
He didn't care much for Sang Yuebai's precious tea, but his Xi'er's cultivation level was still low, and she benefited greatly from drinking it.
"Seven-Leaf Spirit Mist Tea? Does that mean it has seven leaves?" Xi'er asked curiously.
"This Seven-Leaf Spirit Mist Tea is made from a tree that can only grow seven leaves in a thousand years."
The leaves must be picked within three days of sprouting, processed into a spiritual tea, and stored for a hundred years to achieve the best flavor.
Seven-Leaf Spirit Mist Tea grows only on the highest peak, absorbing the first wisp of primordial purple energy from the summit, along with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon.
After drinking it, spiritual energy can be integrated into the body, accelerating the circulation and absorption of spiritual power, and allowing spiritual power to flow more smoothly in the meridians.
"This allows them to break through bottlenecks and improve their cultivation level more quickly during cultivation," Sang Yuebai explained.
"Wow! This is such a rare and precious tea, Old Sang, you're really willing to take it out for us to drink?" Xi'er exclaimed.
"Hmph! Of course, I, Old Sang, have never been stingy!" Sang Yuebai said.
Although he felt a tiny bit of pain at the thought of taking out the Seven-Leaf Spirit Mist Tea, what could he do when he had accepted such a generous gift?
Since it was such a precious tea, even Bo Yiyan couldn't help but look forward to it.
He had seen many good things, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a treasure.
Sang Yuebai took out a tea set made of top-grade spirit jade and began to light the fire, boil water, and brew tea.
The fire was made from charcoal crafted from spirit wood, and the water was collected from morning dewdrops on flower petals; neither of them were ordinary.
Soon, teacups were handed to everyone.
Amidst the wisps of mist, mingled with the fresh scent of grass and trees from the mountains and forests, a gentle sniff reveals a subtle sweet fragrance amidst the dampness of the mist.
Its aroma is so enchanting, making one feel refreshed and as if transported to the fairyland of Zixiao Peak.
Take a sip of the tea; the taste is mellow and smooth, slightly bitter at first, followed by a long-lasting sweet aftertaste.
The sweet and mellow flavor spreads in the mouth, with a touch of coolness, as if a clear spring is flowing in the heart, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
Everyone was immersed in the comfort and pleasure of tea tasting, but Bo Yiyan felt as if all the meridians in his body had been massaged.
The original blockages have become completely clear, just as if many roadblocks were originally set up, but suddenly they have turned into a flat plain.
At this moment, the spiritual energy within his body surged forth like a torrent, rushing towards the thick barrier with overwhelming force.
The bottleneck that had been holding me back for so long was broken through in an instant.
Over the years, his cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, but due to the suppression of the Heavenly Dao on the Dust Continent, he has been unable to find an opportunity to break through.
In this instant, he actually broke through to the Breaking Heaven Realm.
Sensing his breakthrough aura, thunderclouds rolled in from all directions, and Bo Yiyan finally faced his tribulation of heavenly lightning.
When Xi'er broke through, the Heavenly Dao gave her a special favor, which led her to have the illusion that the Heavenly Tribulation was not so terrible.
When it was Bo Yiyan's turn to undergo tribulation, she finally understood just how terrifying the Heavenly Tribulation of the Breaking Heaven Realm truly was!
