Chapter 2022: Dao And Fortune Seeking (1/2)

Yao Ting asked Li Qiye: “Are we here to really drink tea?”

She didn’t know much about the garden since this was her first time.

“It’s for dao comprehension.” Jinsheng kindly said: “Drink tea and comprehend the dao, but the name is Tea Party. This place is a great area for learning about the dao, this was the main goal of the academy in opening the garden. This is a rare chance and one should seize it with all cost. As for finding treasures and other things? That’s wasting it.”

The group wondered if he has been here before again due to his mysterious yet complicated expression after being here.

They went beneath a majestic mountain shrouded by the clouds. It gave off the sensation that it was blocking the road - no one could ever get past it.

A tree was on top with whirling leaves of a silver color. From a distant glance, it would look as if this tree was made out of metal.

“I think this is a Silver-Flower Tree, the mushroom growing on this tree is extremely precious since it can be used as a medicine to increase cultivation.” A group of students from the different cla.s.srooms has already surrounded the peak. The ones from Hundred Hall were mainly here for fun.

One student from Emperor Mansion flew up to the sky and opened his heavenly gaze to look at the tree. After seeing the mushrooms growing on it, he said: “Yes, this tree has been untouched for a long time so there are so many mushrooms here. It can probably be refined into a full gourd of pills for me to increase cultivation by ten years.”

“What a shame, Six-sword Young King and Rumination G.o.dchild aren’t here or they might be able to reach the top for those mushrooms.” One student salivated after seeing this.

Another from Sacred Inst.i.tution shook his head: “The two are going for the Grand Dao Tea, they don’t care about mushrooms. These mushrooms are top-notch but their sects have no lack of similar items.”

The students here could only watch because the peak was unclimbable. The moment they tried, they would instantly fall off. For example, if they were the flowing water, this peak would be a tall boulder situated in the middle. There was no way for the water to reach the top.

“Violent Teacher is here! Wait, no, Teacher Li and Fairy Mei are here.” The arrival of the group caused quite a stir due to Li Qiye’s notoriety.

They quickly made a path for him. Ultimately, Li Qiye wasn’t impressive in appearance but his status as a teacher was quite intimidating.

The one attracting the most gazes in the group was naturally Mei Suyao. This was her effect wherever she went, causing heart to beat faster, eyes to wander, and minds to waver.

“Fairy Mei.” The students from Imperial Mansion greeted her. She nonchalantly nodded back as a response.

“Silver-flower Tree, not bad.” Li Qiye told Yao Ting: “Go, you don’t need the mushroom here, just go up to comprehend the dao. The grand dao of the tree is powerful and touch like metal, very useful for you.”

“I, I can actually go up there?” She spoke feebly. There were students from the higher cla.s.srooms here but they couldn’t ascend. How could someone from Hundred Hall like her do it?

Li Qiye gently sighed and said: “Fine, I’ll lend you a hand for now but you need to work hard yourself in the future.”

With that, he formed a ma.s.sive palm and reached for the tree. A majestic light from the tree poured out and sealed the area in order to stop his advance like an immovable gate.

“Boom!” With a breaking sound, Li Qiye’s palm was unstoppable and forcefully tore through the radiant canopy. Before everyone could react, he threw Yao Ting on top of the peak and she landed right below the tree.
