Chapter 2023: Grand Dao Tea (1/2)

“Grand Dao Tea, eh?” People started swallowing their saliva after seeing this old tree lost in the clouds. Even members of imperial lineages felt the same greed because only the academy had such a tree in all of Arrogance. Yet, even rarer was their generosity to offer it to all the students.

“The teachers are leaving so many tea leaves for us, it’s a shame we won’t be able to pick that much.” A student from Emperor Mansion said with regrets.

“I’m cool with it.” A different student from his cla.s.s opened his palm to reveal three leaves with two circulating laws each and smiled happily: “This is enough for me to use. When I encounter a mental blockade later, just need to bite one and it will be enough.”

So this tree was quite famous, referred by others as Immortal Tea. Some of the leaves were capable of bolstering one’s dao heart during any dao tribulation, saving one’s from qi deviation.

The leaves were divided into different levels - the more laws, the more precious. Thus, the ones on top were the best, especially the highest with twelve laws.

“Two-dao leaves? Pretty amazing, Brother Baihe, your cultivation is definitely top-notch in Emperor Mansion.” A fellow student praised.

“Yes, it has been a while now and only five students have been able to pluck these leaves. The best so far has been three-dao leaves.” Another added.

These precious leaves were exceedingly difficult to pick. The requirement was to have a deep and insightful understanding regarding the mysteries of the dao.

In other words, it had nothing to do with cultivation. If two were about to pick a leaf, one strong and one weak, the weaker one with a deeper dao understanding will be the winner.

“Let me try!” An excited student with a heroic aura stepped out. He jumped to the middle of the mountain then propelled himself once more to reach the tree.

“Buzz.” Though he was so close to it, a path suddenly appeared before him spanning for countless miles. It seemed as if it could contain the entire world in its bound.

Numerous runes appeared on this dao path and flowed rapidly like water. Drowning was a possibility or extreme panic.

The tea leaves were nowhere to be found, only majestic and endless runes.

“Open!” He shouted and tried to understand the profundity of this particular dao before reaching forward to grasp it.

“Pop!” The moment contact was made, he was instantly repelled back to his previous position.

However, there was a leaf in his palm right now with three laws floating around it.

“Incredible, Brother Chi Xi, you got a three-dao leaf.” The other students quickly flattered.

This student turned red and smiled awkwardly: “The truth is embarra.s.sing but I actually tried for a four-dao leaf. Alas, I couldn’t see through this dao completely so only got a three-dao one.”

“That’s already amazing enough. That’s why you’re the second strongest in our Sacred Inst.i.tution.” One more praise came about. There were two people walking in the sky with many wondrous visual phenomena behind them.

The crowd quickly came up to greet these two: “Young King and G.o.dchild are here now.”

“G.o.dchild, you’re too kind. I’m no match for you.” The student humbly said.

Of course, Rumination and Six-sword were well-received. They were the de-facto leaders of their cla.s.srooms.

“Grand Dao Tea, it would be so nice if we could get enough to make a full bottle.” Rumination looked at the tree and said with emotions.

“G.o.dchild, that’s too wasteful. One full bottle requires so many leaves. Not to mention students like us, not too many teachers could do it either. Actually, maybe only the dean and Grandpa Mo.” Six-sword smiled and said.
