Chapter 2024: Tea Garden (1/2)

Mist and vines were everywhere in the garden among the rolling hills that could reach for the sun and moon. Another one was surrounded by the stars while one more had a great river running around it. These mountain ranges resembled gigantic dragons that were hidden among the mists and fogs.

It was more apt to call this place a world instead of a garden due to its boundless size. This boosted the excitement for many students after entering. Some couldn’t help but scream: “All of the treasures are mine!”

With that, they quickly leaped and disappeared into the mountains, no longer showing restraint. They were ready for the fortunes and treasures hiding among the ranges.

“It’s really is big.” Goldloop commented: “I thought it would just be a tiny garden, not an entire internal world like this.”

“That’s what it is, a miniature world.” Liu Jinsheng said: “It might not be smaller than the academy. Tea Garden is only its name.”

“Really?” Goldloop became surprised: “The academy is already big enough, I don’t think there are that many sects that can compare with it in Arrogance, now it has another world? Doesn’t that mean that the academy owns the biggest land on this continent?”

Jinsheng replied: “The vastness of the academy is beyond your imagination. Boundless and all-encompa.s.sing with immense resources. Rumor has it that this miniature world doesn’t belong to the academy in the beginning but Immortal Emperor Fei moved it here.”

“How rare, you are actually complimenting the academy.” Li Qiye laughed after hearing this.

Jinsheng became slightly awkward and coughed: “Aging might not improve certain things but you do become less narrow-minded with different perspectives. Such improvements meant that one didn’t waste their life.”

Li Qiye only smiled after hearing this.

“Hehe, everyone says that the tea party will be a great harvest. If one is lucky enough, they will be able to find some natural heavenly treasures. Some even believed that emperors have hidden some good stuff around here too.” Goldloop’s eyes glittered with greed as he started to drool just a little bit. It was as if there was a mountain of gold before him.

“Just idle chats from boring people.” Li Qiye smiled and said: “The tea party is naturally about drinking tea.”

“Is that what you’re here for, Teacher?” Goldloop didn’t believe it at all.

Li Qiye gave him the side-eye: “Not just anyone can drink the tea here. They need to be capable enough.”

“Uhh…” Goldloop had no response.

“You won’t be able to drink the good tea here anyway.” Li Qiye teased while the group was pa.s.sing through many mountains.

They finally saw a river ahead with mists everywhere and cold air hitting their face.

“Ah, maybe you’re right, I’m too weak to drink anything good here.” Goldloop scratched his head and said.

“No, what I mean is, I didn’t bring you here to drink tea, only for you to suffer some hards.h.i.+p.” Li Qiye smiled and said.

Goldloop proudly slammed his chest and declared: “I carry a great burden so some suffering is nothing to me. Teacher, just tell me what to do.”

“Really now?” Li Qiye smirked and reached for Goldloop’s arm.

There was no chance for the guy to resist at all so he got grabbed instantly. Next, he found his body flying in the air.

“Splas.h.!.+” The poor guy landed into the surging river ahead.

The frigid water created a layer of frost around him, scaring him out of his mind.

“Teacher, what, what’s going on?” He couldn’t move at all as his body was being encapsulated in ice due to the increasing intensity of the coldness. It wouldn’t be long before he turned into an iceman.

“It’s nothing, your body is tough enough so keep training hard.” Li Qiye smiled at the guy.

“But, I, I can’t move at all, Teacher.” Even his neck was frozen right now so he screamed in fear: “Am I going to die?”
