The Way of the Prehistoric World

After all the disciples greeted each other, Mei Zihan led them into the Purity Palace. Only then did he have the opportunity to carefully look at the legendary Sanqing.

The first is Taiqing Laozi. He looks about seventy or eighty years old. Combined with his gray hair, eyebrows and beard, he looks very much like some old Taoist priests in his previous life.

The second one is Yuqing Yuanshi, who looks about thirty or forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and an aristocratic look. If paired with a Western appearance, he looks like a classical British aristocrat.

Finally, there is Shangqing Tongtian, who looks only in his twenties, has piercing eyes, and is full of heroic spirit. With his ancient costume and Qingping sword, he looks like an ancient Chinese knight-errant.

The costumes of Sanqing are not much different from the legends of previous lives. The biggest difference is in their temperament. Due to their own cultivation and knowledge, they are far from the magnanimity of the future leader. At present, they look more like three people seeking the Tao. People are humble and polite in their behavior.

Hongjun was not surprised by the spiritual fruits on the jade cases in front of each other. However, Sanqing, who was visiting for the first time, looked shocked at first, and then he was relieved when he remembered what Hongjun had said before coming.

After the spiritual fruit banquet was over, Mei Zihan suddenly took out a jade pot and ten jade cups, and then added some three-light divine water to the jade pot. After boiling the divine water with the pot in his left hand, he added a pinch of spiritual tea into it. , when the charm of the spiritual tea was completely integrated into the Sanguang Divine Water, he put the tea into the jade cups on the table.

The jade cups filled with tea were distributed by Mei Zihan with a wave of his hand. There was one on each person's jade case, and then he explained: "This drink is called 'tea', which is taken from a cup that Pindao found earlier. Although the spiritual root of the Ancestor Tea Tree is not among the best, it is very difficult to grow. Since it was implanted in Lingmiao Garden, it has only recently begun to produce tea. Therefore, I took the opportunity of the visit of fellow Taoist Hongjun and three nephews. , specially invite everyone to enjoy tea together.”

"This tea is knotted from the main stem of the Ancestor Tea Tree. It is called the best Taoist tea. It has the effect of helping people realize Taoism. It can be slightly refined after tasting the tea." Before drinking the tea, Mei Zihan added again.

After drinking each, Mei Zihan, Zu Feng and Hongjun just thought about it in their mouths, and then it had no effect at all. Then came the three people with lower cultivation levels: Earth Spirit, Jade Dew and Bull Demon King. Although it is not completely ineffective, it is extremely limited.

On the other hand, Zhen Yuanzi and Sanqing, who had the lowest cultivation level, all began to cross their legs to refine the Tao tea after drinking it, trying their best to understand the Tao charm in it. This could be seen from the joy on their faces. Their gains were considerable.

However, when the four of them woke up, they all looked disappointed, and secretly said that it was a pity that such a good opportunity for enlightenment was fleeting, which naturally made them disappointed. If it could be extended for a while, all four of them could break through their current cultivation level.

"Cultivation should be persevered. Never place your hopes on external things!" Seeing the pity on Sanqing's face, Hongjun warned him at the right time.

After being reminded by Hongjun, Sanqing realized that he was too persistent. It was already rare to have the opportunity to taste tea and realize Taoism. It would be inappropriate to insist on asking for more approval, so he said in unison: "I sincerely follow the teachings of Master! Thank you, uncle." Give me tea!"

After entering Chaos Island, Sanqing discovered that his previously commendable cultivation was actually the lowest among everyone. Not to mention the three elders Mei Zihan, Zufeng and Hongjun, the cultivation of Earth Spirit, Yulu and Niu Demon King alone is not comparable to them.

The only one among the people who is close to them is Zhen Yuanzi, but his cultivation has reached the peak of the late Daluo Golden Immortal, and he may break through to Quasi-Sage at any time, and now after drinking Tao tea. It must be easier.

Compared with the people on Chaos Island, their own cultivation level is really not good enough. I, the one with the highest cultivation level, has just broken through to the middle stage of Daluo Golden Immortal. Yuanshi and Tongtian have not yet been able to break through, and are still stuck at the peak of the early stage of Daluo Jinxian. The gap in cultivation made the three of them realize their own shortcomings, and then they felt pity for the effect of Daocha.

"There is no need to be too polite, nephew. I still have some of this tea in my collection, so I can definitely give some away. However, the effect of the spiritual tea is the strongest for the first time, and then it will decrease gradually. After many times, although it will not be completely ineffective, it will be extremely limited. It is impossible to break through the cultivation level." Mei Zihan could guess a little bit about Sanqing's little thoughts, so he decided to give them another chance.

"Thank you so much, uncle!" Although the title of "uncle" is more intimate, when Hongjun is present, the title of "master" is more appropriate. After all, Pangu has not returned, and Hongjun is beside him, Sanqing is now Although he has a mellow temperament, he also knows how to choose.

Next, Mei Zihan began to explain the Ancestor Tea Tree in detail.

Although a Xiantianzu tea tree only has top-grade Xiantian spiritual roots, it has one main branch and nine auxiliary branches. The main branch bears top-quality Taoist tea. Once it matures every Yuanhui, you can get three taels and three qian of Taoist tea. This tea has The magical effect of helping people to understand the Tao is unfortunately only effective for those below the quasi-sage. Although it cannot be said that it has no effect at all and above, it is close to none.

In addition to the main branch, each of the nine auxiliary branches produces a kind of spiritual tea, which are Longjing, Biluochun, Maofeng, Yunwu, Yinzhen, Yancha, Tieguanyin, Maojian and Dahongpao and other high-grade spiritual teas. Each of these spiritual teas Harvested once every 10,000 years, each one costs about one to two eight cents. The aroma of the drink is mellow and mellow, and it is also helpful for enlightenment, but it is only effective for Daluo Jinxian and below.

After learning that there was such a spiritual root, everyone was eager to find it, including Hongjun and Zufeng.

"No wonder Master specially set up a formation to cover it. It turns out it is really a good treasure!" Earth Spirit, who had never seen the Ancestor Tea Tree, couldn't help but think of a forbidden area in Lingmiao Garden. She had tried to explore its secrets many times before. , but always failed, and then she asked her master for advice, but Mei Zihan kept smiling and saying nothing.

"Although the spiritual roots are good, they are extremely fragile. So I just hid them. It was not until recently that they fully grew and the situation improved slightly. However, compared with other innate spiritual roots, they are still fragile." Mei Zihan explained truthfully. road.

He was also surprised by this. In any case, the Ancestral Tea Tree is also a top-grade innate spiritual root. Why is it so fragile? But then I thought about the peonies in my previous life, and it suddenly dawned on me that although peonies are good, they can only be grown in greenhouses. Once they are exposed to wind and rain, they will die quickly.

Seeing that everyone was still in disbelief, Mei Zihan decided to lead them to the Ancestor Tea Tree to observe the spiritual root up close.

After the protective formation outside the spiritual roots was removed, the Ancestor Tea Tree appeared in front of everyone for the first time. They saw that it had nine branches and ten branches in total. It was about nine feet high, and its surface was extremely smooth and emerald green.

Different from the straightness of other spiritual roots, the ten branches on the main trunk seem to be forcibly attached to it, as if they may fall apart at any time. One spiritual root produces ten kinds of spiritual tea, and the effect of each one is no less than that of the top innate Spirit fruit, among them the most powerful Taoist tea, has magical effects that are beyond the reach of ordinary innate spiritual fruits, and are comparable to the spiritual fruits produced after the top ten innate spiritual roots have advanced to the innate treasure.

A huge burden has been placed on the top-grade innate spiritual root of the Ancestor Tea Tree, which is really overwhelmed. If it had not been transplanted to Lingmiao Garden very early and was carefully cared for by Mei Zihan, it might have fallen apart and turned into ten pieces. Ke Ling tea is a kind of spiritual root.

This is the reason why this spiritual root did not appear in the legends of the previous life. The cruel reality forced it to be divided into ten. Except for the main branch and the main trunk, the quality of the tea tree can reach the middle-grade innate spiritual root. The transformed spiritual tea tree can only achieve low-grade innate spiritual roots at best. If there is a lack of original heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the external environment, it is not impossible for it to degenerate into acquired spiritual roots.

In the direction pointed by the main branch and the subsidiary branch, ten different Tao rhymes evolve among them, just like ten colorful clouds with varying strengths and weaknesses. Among them, the one at the top is the strongest, and the intensity in the remaining nine directions is slightly weaker. So many Tao The evolution of rhyme is gathered in a space of less than ten feet in radius. If it is not sorted out in time, it is almost inevitable that they will conflict with each other. And once the dao and rhyme conflict, it will be impossible to preserve this ancestral tea tree.

It was only at this time that everyone clearly realized the fragility of the Ancestor Tea Tree. It was like a tricycle used to pull people in the previous life. Is it weird that the owner had to use it to pull heavy goods, and it also had to race like a BMW without falling apart?

The sporadic leaves on the ancestor tea tree will eventually become spiritual tea. These tea leaves are obviously divided into several different batches, some are about to mature, and some are just reborn, but they are all absorbing the Taoist charm in the air all the time.

"Such a spiritual root can only grow in Lingmiao Garden, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to preserve it if it falls into the hands of a poor man." After observing the spiritual root at close range, Hongjun couldn't help but sigh.

Hongjun, who originally had some thoughts about the ancestral tea tree and tried to transplant its branches, completely gave up the idea until now. Not to mention whether taking a branch can grow into another ancestral tea tree, even if it can be realized, he It can't be fed either.

Although the goal of opening Lingzhi Garden is to catch up with Lingmiao Garden, the gap between the two cannot be easily bridged.

"The whole plant definitely won't work, but branches may work." Seeing Hongjun's move, Mei Zihan came up with a more reasonable plan.

After seeing the magical effect of the best Taoist tea, Hongjun couldn't help but think that instead of asking him to come here frequently to ask for it in the future, it would be better to give him a spiritual tea tree. Although the quality is not as good as the ancestor tea tree, it can also be used as a substitute. .

After preserving the Ancestor Tea Tree, Mei Zihan also wanted to carry it forward and spread the tea culture of the previous life in the wilderness. As we all know, the best way to spread a culture is to start from the top. As long as Taozu and Sanqing both like to drink tea. , all sentient beings in the wild are still not rushing to imitate?

Without waiting for Hongjun to say more, Mei Zihan continued: "After the ancestral tea tree grows up, it is no longer as fragile as before. It just so happens that everyone is here. Everyone chooses a branch for transplantation, and the main branch will be given to fellow Taoist Hongjun."

As the saying goes, everyone who sees it has a share, Hongjun's master and disciple get the treasure, and his own people need to be taken care of even more.

Obviously, Mei Zihan can only do it himself. Only he can cut off the branches without damaging the original tea tree. Although everyone wants to get the tea spirit root, they don't want the original tea tree to be seriously injured and unable to recover.

Everyone on Chaos Island will choose their own land for planting in Lingmiao Garden. Sanqing's share can only be handed over to Hongjun first. Sanqing, who is not rich, obviously cannot guarantee the success of the tea spirit root. grow into.

"After this, I don't know when the ancestral tea tree will recover!" Mei Zihan then lamented. Before the ancestral tea tree recovers, the amount of spiritual tea in his hand will not increase. Use a little less. It seems that you must save more. Just fine. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes at Qidian.
