Chapter 67: Undefeatable!
As the tea entered his mouth, there was a faint hint of bitterness. Suddenly, the elderly man jolted vigorously!
He could feel that when the tea entered his mouth, it dispersed right away, as if he was taking in a mouthful of air. If it was not because of the faint hint of bitterness left on his taste buds, he would not have believed that he actually took a sip of the tea.
“The tea...”
He took another look at the tea and realized something was wrong!
The tea leaves were all of the same size. In fact, it seemed that they were slowly disappearing.
They were not dissolving into the tea. Instead, they were transforming into another form of existence. It almost seemed like...Insights!?
Indeed! It was Insights!
The tea contained Insights!
Tzz...
The elderly man opened his eyes wide as he felt a shiver going down his spine. His scalp started to itch.
Vroom!
In this instant, he heard a buzz in his brain, as if a bell was ringing in his ears!
The ringing of the bell was so loud that it sounded like the morning bell—empowering.
His mind turned blank as his divine consciousness started growing at an appalling speed!
The Distraction Realm!
The distraction of the divine consciousness!
Bamm!
The bottleneck instantly became as thin as paper that could be pricked through instantly.
The elderly man could feel the change in him. As if he was doped, his aura kept increasing, like a growing bamboo! Even he was terrified by the speed!
‘Since when has my understanding become so good? Unless... I’ve been enlightened?’
Outside the main hall, everyone waited anxiously. How was the Court Master doing?
Lin Qingyun bit on her lip as she paced around outside, helpless.
She did not know what she was thinking. Her mind was a mess.
Regret?
Probably not!
She believed that Li Nianfan was definitely an expert, and her choice was not wrong. She just felt guilty. Also, she had high expectations of the tea leaves given by Li Nianfan.
‘Well, a gift from Mr. Li wouldn’t be anything ordinary, right?’
She could not help but look at the other three elderly men. She asked uneasily, “Masters, is it likely for my father to breakthrough successfully?”
The three elderly masters exchanged a look with one another, a hint of bitterness could be seen in their eyes.
The eldest of them sighed and shook his head, “Without the help of elixirs, there’s not a chance!”
He did not accuse her of her wrongdoings but his tone seemed displeased.
Sigh, why did the daughter of the Court Master make such a huge mistake?
The cultivation of immortality was already an act against the sky. If he failed at the breakthrough, it was likely that he would be stuck here forever!
Lin Qingyun’s face went pale. She tightened her grip on the remaining tea leaves as if holding on to the last straw. She mumbled, “Who knows, maybe the tea leaves might be helpful?”
The three elderly men shook their heads and sighed. What a joke. The situation had unfolded to this point and the Saintess still had this foolish thought! How unrealistic!
Suddenly, the Spiritual Qi in the main hall condensed. Swiftly, it exploded like a volcano, more vigorously than before!
The phantom of the Court Master appeared and said hastily, “Qingyun, make me another cup of tea. Now!”
Lin Qingyun’s heart thumped as her face flushed red. She only thought of one possibility. She answered, “Yes, Dad!”
Quickly, the second cup of tea was sent into the room.
Everyone was confused. They had no idea what was going on between the two of them.
What was this all about? A private tea-tasting session?
However, their question did not last for long. After half an hour, the engulfing Spiritual Qi in the main hall grew even bigger!
Instantly, the surrounding Spiritual Qi cleared out as they were all attracted into the main hall, swirling.
With that, the Court Master flew out from the main hall with a mysterious smile on his face, along with a misty aura radiating from his body.
“A breakthrough! The Court Master had a breakthrough!” The three elderly men reacted first as they called out with excitement. “Congratulations, Court Master!”
The rest of the disciples called out with delight, “Congratulations, Court Master!”
The Court Master waved them off. He then flew to Lin Qingyun and asked in an almost trembling voice, “Qingyun, do you still have the tea leaves? Show me! Show them to me!”
Lin Qingyun took out the packet and said in a low voice, “Dad, that’s all we’ve got left.”
“That’s quite a lot! That’s quite a lot!” The Court Master stared at the packet of tea leaves as if looking at the rarest elixir. “They’re so precious! Even a pinch would be priceless! You have so much here. It’ll be enough for my Lingyun Immortal Pavilion to be undefeatable for the next ten thousand years!”
The other three elderly men were in shock. Their faces were filled with question marks after hearing the Court Master’s bold claim.
What he said was too bold! Too bold!
Undefeatable for the next ten thousand years? What concept was that?
Even though the Court Master had a breakthrough to the Distraction realm, his lifespan would only be three thousand years. Ten thousand years would mean...the tea leaves were equivalent to three Distraction realm cultivators?
This was too shocking!
The eldest man looked at the tea leaves for a while before he finally asked, “Court Master, what tea leaves are these...”
The Court Master took a deep breath and answered with a serious look, “The tea leaves...contain Insights! One can be enlightened from tasting the tea!”
Tzz...
The three elderly men gasped. They almost fainted because of that. Their gazes grew more intense as they looked at the tea leaves.
All of the cultivators understood what Insights represented—it represented the ranking of the cultivation!
“Court Master, this...this is true?” the second elderly man asked with a trembling voice.
However, once he asked the question, he instantly felt like slapping himself hard.
What was there to ask? Was the Court Master not a clear example?
The eldest man’s breathing turned rapid as he cried out with a hoarse voice, “Treasure! A real treasure!”
“Am I dreaming? A treasure like this exists in the world!?” the third elderly man was still unable to believe it.
The Court Master looked at Lin Qingyun anxiously, his voice trembling, “Qingyun, you said you got these tea leaves from an expert?”
“Yeah.” Lin Qingyun nodded.
“Good! Impressive!” The Court Master felt his heart pumping his blood rapidly, shooting it into his brain. His heart was thumping so loudly as if it was about to jump out.
“Expert! A true expert!” he exclaimed with a serious face. “Qingyun, you didn’t offend him, did you?”
Lin Qingyun rolled her eyes. “Dad, do I look like someone who would offend an expert?”
“True, if you did offend him, the Lingyun Immortal Pavilion wouldn’t be here now.” The Court Master let out a sigh. He continued, “A chance! A big chance! You’re my good daughter indeed! If you have this chance again, you’ll have to tell me right away!”
Just as Lin Qingyun was about to speak, the Court Master made a gesture to cut her short. He turned to the three elderly men, “This situation is too serious. It’s best if fewer people know about it! Please, excuse my rudeness but I’d like the three of you to leave us.”
The three of them were listening intently but they broke off with an awkward laugh after hearing the Court Master’s words. They understood the severity of this, so they had no complaints.
“We should. Actually, I was just about to leave.”
“Yes, do we look like those who like to eavesdrop?”
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
