Chapter 171: Extremely Embarra.s.sing Matter

“This~” As the First Lady heard that, she looked down in embarra.s.sment and said, “Actually, the tea leaves are right in front of you!”

“In front of us? Where?” They all started to scrutinise the surroundings. But, they just weren’t able to find it and so they stared at the First Lady in bewilderment.

Helpless, the First Lady could only point to the tub under her feet and say, “It’s here.”

“En?” the few of them stared at the tub with a doubtful expression.

“This is a foot-was.h.i.+ng tub, right? You placed the tea leaves in there?” The bald old man said in anger.

“I didn’t place it in here, I used it in here!” The First Lady said weakly. At this moment, she realised that something was wrong with the tea leaves. If not, the 3 elders would not view them with such importance. As such, she only responded meekly.

After the First Lady said that, everyone present was dumbfounded. Only after a moment did the bald old man asked nervously, “You, you don’t mean to say that you used it to wash your feet?”

“This, this, a senior sister said that using tea leaves to bathe can help to make my skin fair.” The First Lady said awkwardly, “In my house, this is the worst kind of tea leaves, thus I used it!”

“Goodness~” As the 3 FenShen cultivators heard that, all of their veins turned blue and were almost angered to death on the spot!

As for HongYing, she immediately entered into a daze. At least the sect master was still calm and tried to salvage the situation. He then said resolutely, “Senior uncles, no matter what, this is still considered brewed tea! The usage would still be the same!”

The 3 elders were not faced with a dilemma. Leg was.h.i.+ng water was indeed something which was very dirty. But the problem is, they would remain at their bottleneck if they did not drink it. In another few hundred years, they may even run out of time and die. If they were to achieve a breakthrough, they would at least gain a few thousand years of life.

But, they were esteemed experts after all. If they were to rely on leg was.h.i.+ng water to extend their lifespan, wouldn’t they become the greatest laughing stock in the cultivation world? At that time, even the majestic name of the Mystical Sky Sect would be shamed together with them.

If they don’t drink it, they would lose their lives. If they drank it, embarra.s.sment ensues. Whether or not to drink this tub of leg was.h.i.+ng water was indeed a hard choice to make!

As the First Lady still didn’t know what was going on, she was shocked at what the sect master said, “Husband, what do you mean? How can this be called tea? This is obviously leg was.h.i.+ng water.”

“What your husband means is to ask us to buy your leg was.h.i.+ng over at a high price to drink!” The bald old man replied irritably.

“Ah, it can’t be right?” As the First Lady heard that, she was astonished and hurriedly said, “Husband, are you a fool? How can you do that?”

*Cough* The sect master coughed twice awkwardly and replied with a bitter laughter, “It is not that I am a fool. It is just that, in any case, even if it is leg was.h.i.+ng water, it is still worth a lot! Trust me!”

“Ah?” The First Lady was dumbfounded again and hurriedly asked, “Husband, just what are those tea leaves? Why do the seniors see it with such great importance?”

“Oh, my lady, trust me. You will not want to know it. I think that you should just forget about it!” The sect master replied considerately.

But, the First Lady was also not one to give in so easily. How could she allow herself to be kept in the dark? Thus, she said in frustration, “Stop the bulls.h.i.+t, tell me just what those tea leaves are?”

“Err~” Seeing that the First Lady became anxious, the sect master did not dare to hide it from her and replied with a bitter laughter, “It is the Dao Comprehending Tea!”

“Dao Comprehending Tea?” The First Lady first stunned. “Dao Comprehending Tea? Don’t tell me it is the kind of tea that can help a FenShen cultivator breakthrough from their bottleneck?”

“Yep, that’s it!” The sect master nodded his head helplessly.

Being a super rare item, not to mention puny YuanYing cultivators, not many FenShen cultivators had seen it before. It is only because of the great wealth of the Mystical Sky Sect that these 3 elders had the chance to see the Dao Comprehending Tea before. If it was any other FenShen cultivators, they would not have been able to recognise it. Even the 9 beauties in the Nine Beauties Painting only found it to be strange but couldn’t recognise it. Thus, it was extremely normal that the First Lady could not recognise it.
