Chapter 50
Around noon
"Old Liu, make the fire bigger, stop dawdling."
"I know, why are you so impatient with me? You've cultivated Tao for so many years, and it's all for nothing."
"Start a fire!"
"Burn it, burn it."
"Hehe~ Brother Long, I didn't expect Master Yun and Grandpa Liu to get along like this."
"It's normal, you'll get used to it."
"Serve the dishes!"
"Here I am!"
"Grandma Lin, Jasmine, you don't need to serve the dishes, please sit down and rest!"
"Woof woof..."
"Hey, Ryougi, bring them over to your sister's place, don't go to the kitchen."
"Awooooo..."
"So cute~ Sister Jin, I want to raise one when Big Black has puppies next time."
"Stay away, you bachelor, I don't trust you."
"Hahahaha... Xingye, your mom's getting anxious, it's time to get married!"
"Hey, you guys..."
"..."
Inside Linxi Temple, everyone was talking at once, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
They took turns happily preparing for the big meal that was coming up.
Lingxi, standing on the cloud, smiled and asked, "Would you like to come down with me?"
The tall figure standing side by side with Lingxi showed no emotion in his eyes; he preferred tranquility and was indifferent to excitement.
"No need."
The wind from above blew relentlessly, causing the hem of her long dress to flutter wildly and occasionally bump against the body formed by her divine consciousness.
It feels numb and itchy.
Su Yuan turned his head and looked at her, her eyes closed, facing the sunlight, enjoying the wind hitting her cheeks but not blowing her hair. The smile on her lips under her flawless jade-like face made him lose his mind.
Blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and clear waters. Sometime later, a gentle breeze began to blow, rippling the surface of the lake covered with broken ice.
Lingxi noticed Su Yuan's gaze, but didn't take it seriously or think much of it, and still didn't open her eyes.
Qi cultivation and foundation building.
They're worlds apart.
Her physical body could rival steel; the wind at high altitudes was always fierce, but hitting her face felt like a child being tickled—it was incredibly comfortable.
Beneath the tall ginkgo trees on the ground, two old square wooden tables formed a long table, on which were laid seven or eight dishes, the rich aroma of the food wafting upwards.
Lingxi's calm mind was stirred.
Open your eyes and look down.
Completely unaware of Su Yuan beside him, who had suddenly regained consciousness and appeared dazed.
"Then I'll go?" Lingxi couldn't contain herself, especially the aroma of the dishes being served one by one, which was truly captivating and enticing.
After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, the body can maintain its functions without consuming grains, as it can absorb enough spiritual energy.
Lingxi couldn't help but swallow, unable to resist her urge to eat.
"Hmm." The reply was still indifferent.
Then the figure in the clouds transformed into faint silver specks of light and returned to its original form.
Lingxi withdrew her gaze, found an inconspicuous corner, stored the cloud in her sea of consciousness, and strode towards Linxi Temple.
...
S City
Airport
A couple with a little boy went to get their luggage.
The little boy, holding a toy car, followed weakly behind. After a few steps, his breathing became rapid, and his grip on the toy loosened unconsciously, causing it to slip from his palm.
The car hit the ground with a crisp sound.
When the boy's mother noticed that his face was a little pale, she quickly picked him up.
She gently touched his forehead.
I breathed a slight sigh of relief after finding out that I didn't have a fever.
The boy's father picked up the small toy that had fallen to the ground and, seeing the situation, said, "Take the child outside and wait for me. I'll get my luggage and come find you."
Okay~
"Zixuan, listen to your mother~"
The little boy was a bit slow to react, and slowly and softly replied, "Okay."
"You guys go ahead."
The boy rested his head on the woman's chest and soon became drowsy again.
"Zixuan's father, what you're saying about the child..."
"Don't overthink it, the amulet will protect him."
The woman nodded with a complicated expression, then picked up the boy and looked for a place to wait for his father.
The man smiled and watched his wife and children walk away, feeling inexplicably uneasy about his son's recent reactions.
It's fine.
Maybe I'm just tired from playing these past few days. I'll be fine after a few days of rest.
Yes, that's it.
The man, carrying a plastic bag, kept reassuring himself.
Meanwhile, Yangjia in S City
Yang Lanling, who had finally managed to leave work on time, saw her younger brother's WeChat Moments posting about eating and drinking extravagantly, and felt a little resentful, unable to bear seeing him so leisurely.
So he sent a message.
What are you doing?
After sending it, he thought for a moment, then typed another sentence. Just as he was about to send it, his aunt brought him a cup of tea.
His sense of smell is very keen.
I immediately noticed the difference.
He took a deep breath; he didn't know what kind of tea it was, but the aroma was layered and very pleasant.
He asked the aunt, "Did you brew the wrong tea? It smells so good."
The aunt smiled and said, "This is the last one that the master and madam specially saved for you. Lanting brought it back from the master's place last time."
"oh?"
He picked up the teacup and examined it closely. The tea soup was golden and clear. He brought it close to his nose and took a gentle breath. The fresh air from the bamboo forest after the rain penetrated deep into his lungs.
Yang Lanling's eyes flickered as he raised his cup and took a sip. Instantly, he shuddered; the tea left a cool sensation wherever it touched. In a short moment, he felt a warm sensation coursing through his body, and his migraines of the past few days seemed to vanish instantly.
He stared blankly at the tea in front of him, then, as if struck by a thought, took out a testing bag from his work bag and poured some tea into it to make a sample.
The aunt came out of the kitchen and, seeing that Yang Lanling hadn't finished drinking, reminded him, "Young Master, drink it quickly, or the taste and effect won't be as good."
Yang Lanling: "It's still not working even if I take it later?"
"Yes, the gentleman couldn't bear to finish it all at once that day. He left it for a while and said that it wouldn't taste the same if he drank it again."
The aunt didn't know exactly what was wrong with the taste; her husband had just told her to watch everyone finish drinking it.
"Perhaps the gentleman was afraid that the tea would turn bitter if left to ferment, thus wasting such fine tea!"
Yang Lanling nodded, understanding what her father meant.
"Okay, I'll drink it now." After Yang Lanling finished the tea in two or three gulps, he handed the teacup to the housekeeper to put away, and then he lay down on the sofa, quietly feeling the warm current sweep over his whole body. It was soothing and comforting, and his mind seemed to be calmed. His eyes closed slightly, his mind went blank, and he became a little drowsy.
Yang Lanling's phone vibrated several times without her noticing.
The young man, who had been curled up on the sofa and fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with the bewilderment of someone just waking up. A faint scent of tea lingered on his shoulders, and in the blink of an eye, he regained his usual coldness.
He tapped the screen with his fingertip.
A cool white light shone on.
Yang Lanling was taken aback; only ten minutes had passed.
He got up, stretched, and shook his head. The fatigue of the past few days seemed to have disappeared completely. He opened his phone, and the face on the screen looked much more energetic, with his usual dark circles under his eyes significantly reduced.
The tea had an immediate effect, which surprised him.
Could the 'miracle drug' that the sect claims to have really worked? Unfortunately, no sample could be found.
Yang Lanling felt a pang of regret upon thinking about this.
Those Guiyuan Sect members are like turtles with their heads locked, they're all so good at hiding.
Fortunately, they had the opportunity to meet the master.
Thinking about the source of the tea, Yang Lanling couldn't help but chuckle. Sure enough, such a capable person must have something extraordinary in his hands.
That kid got off easy.
Yang Lanling, feeling refreshed, opened her younger brother's WeChat interface.
Bro, you'll never guess what I found!
[I'll show you something. Below is a test report on the vegetables grown in the village. I even consulted a specialist, who said that the vegetables grown in the village are indeed different from those from other places.]
From my observation, some of the elderly people here with age-related illnesses haven't worsened this year; in fact, their health has improved!
The master visited Linxi Cave this April, and Linxi Cave has only recently shown such a significant change.
That's all I know. For anything else, ask the master.
By the way, the food here is super delicious. I sent some groceries back with express delivery; they should arrive tomorrow. Remember not to work overtime.
If you don't get to eat it, don't blame your younger brother.
After reading the message, Yang Lanling's thin lips curved into a smile. This kid still managed to think of them.
It wasn't for nothing that I suffered.
He deleted the warning he had originally typed for his younger brother not to cause trouble for the master, and then sent his brother a few caring messages.
Since the master was able to tell him through Lanting, it means they had no intention of hiding anything. How things develop from here on out depends on what they do.
Master, I believe they are intelligent people.
I know what to do.
He opened the test file, looked at the data, and his expression turned serious.
Unexpectedly, the numbers are so outrageous.
I wonder, this tea...
He turned off his phone and glanced at the specimen bag still on the table.
He made a phone call, took the specimen, went out, and drove to the family compound.
Yang Zhengyong did not live with them.
He arrived just in time; they were just about to start serving food.
When her aunt saw Yang Lanling arrive, she greeted him gently, "Lanling is here."
"Oh, Auntie, I've come to see Uncle."
"You haven't eaten either, have you? Let's eat together before we talk business."
As she spoke, she went to get bowls and chopsticks.
Yang Lanling was about to say that he wasn't hungry.
Yang Zhengyong happened to be leaving the study when he saw Yang Lanling coming over, and stopped him from speaking.
"Like your aunt said, let's eat first and then talk about things."
"……good."
At the dinner table, only Yang Zhengyong and his wife, and Yang Lanling, who had arrived unexpectedly, were present.
Yang Zhengyong's son is still pursuing a master's degree in another province and doesn't have time to come back.
After the meal, Yang Zhengyong took Yang Lanling to the study.
Yang Lanling closed the door, and Yang Zhengyong said sternly, "Speak, what's the matter that you're here at this hour? It must be urgent."
"About the master."
Yang Zhengyong lifted his eyelids slightly and said in a deep voice, "Tea leaves."
“You know... Oh... You must have known before me, but I was talking about Linxi Cave.”
Linxi Cave
Yang Zhengyong naturally knew where it was.
"Then what?"
"Look, I'll send you a test report. Please take a look."
Yang Zhengyong opened his phone, rolled his eyes at the brat in front of him, and said with a strange laugh, "You, be normal."
"You are both an elder and a leader, so it is only right that I respect you."
His handsome eyebrows relaxed, and a rare hint of mischief appeared in his mouth.
"Hmph~"
Home is not the workplace, and Yang Zhengyong is not so rigid and rule-abiding.
"Looks like we've made quite a discovery!"
"I suspect these are secondary; the important things haven't been revealed yet."
This document contains a lot of information, and Yang Lanling has placed the most important data at the beginning.
After watching.
Yang Zhengyong straightened up from his chair and said seriously, "Ask the master when he's free so we can talk."
"yes."
