Hong Huang: I am the cowherd

Chapter 41 Supreme Innate Spiritual Root – The Dao Comprehension Divine Tea!

The effects of the Chaos Essence Spring were beyond Su Chen’s imagination. Not only could it repair damaged Dao Foundations, but it could also nurture and enhance treasures, elevating them to higher ranks!

Most astonishing of all, it could nourish the True Spirit of Great Dao Saints and even those above that level, making their True Spirit even more refined. If Saints were to learn about the effects of Chaos Essence Spring, they would undoubtedly stop at nothing to seize it!

“This entire pool spans over a thousand square meters, with a depth of at least 10 meters—just how many cubic meters of Chaos Essence Spring does this amount to?”

At this moment, Su Chen was ecstatic. The Three Immortal Islands were formed from the purest Chaos Source Crystal in the Chaos World, and Yingzhou Immortal Island was at the very core. Otherwise, it wouldn’t contain such a supreme treasure like the Chaos Essence Spring.

“I wonder what other treasures the other two spiritual veins hold?”

With that thought, Su Chen instantly appeared at the center of the second spiritual vein. There, he once again discovered a vast pool, spanning tens of thousands of square meters, radiating a golden, silver, and purple glow.

“Could this be the legendary Three-Light Divine Water?”

Seeing the three different colors, Su Chen immediately deduced the origin of this divine water.

It was formed from the fusion of three types of Innate Divine Waters.

Sunlight Divine Water (Golden): Erases blood, bones, and flesh.

Moonlight Divine Water (Silver): Corrodes the primordial spirit and soul.

Starlight Divine Water (Purple): Dissolves True Spirit and consciousness.

When these three divine waters merged into one, they became the ultimate healing elixir of the heavens, capable of neutralizing all poisons and curing any injury, even those deemed incurable. Even Quasi-Saints could recover from near-fatal injuries with just a few drops, and for Saints, it still held a significant healing effect.

A single drop of Three-Light Divine Water was an incomparable treasure for the great powers of the Primordial World. Yet, before Su Chen’s eyes, there was an entire lake spanning tens of thousands of square meters!

Despite the extraordinary rarity of the Three-Light Divine Water, Su Chen was not overly shocked. Having already witnessed the heaven-defying effects of the Chaos Essence Spring, the value of the Three-Light Divine Water seemed slightly inferior in comparison.

According to legend, when the Three Immortal Islands of Penglai and Fangzhang emerged, countless great powers fought to seize the Three-Light Divine Water. Among them, Yuanshi Tianzun obtained the largest portion.

Later, Yuanshi Tianzun bestowed it upon his disciples. During the Journey to the West, Guanyin Bodhisattva used Three-Light Divine Water to save Zhenyuanzi’s Ginseng Fruit Tree—a testament to its incredible restorative power.

Guanyin, formerly the Cihang Daoist of the Chan Sect, defected during the God Sealing Tribulation and joined Western Buddhism.

“If those ancient powers of the Primordial World knew that I possessed such vast amounts of ‘Chaos Essence Spring’ and ‘Three-Light Divine Water,’ they would be overwhelmed with envy and jealousy!”

“Even the high-and-mighty Saints might be tempted to kill me for these treasures!”

Realizing this, Su Chen decided to keep a low profile until he grew stronger. Although he had the protection of his master, the Tongtian Sect Leader, there were multiple Saints in the Primordial World. If they resorted to underhanded methods, even Tongtian might not be able to shield him completely. Therefore, caution was necessary.

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, Su Chen sensed a surge of innate treasure energy erupting from the depths of the lake, emitting a dazzling radiance.

“An Innate Spiritual Treasure?”

Without hesitation, Su Chen used his divine power to retrieve the treasure, which had already fully matured. Holding a crystal-clear white jade pearl in his hands, Su Chen immediately refined it with his True Spirit, and the detailed information surfaced in his mind.

【Water Spirit Pearl】 (One of the Five Element Pearls)

Grade: Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Restrictions: 1/33 (One restriction refined).

Effects: Contains a Law of Water, allowing absolute mastery over all water!

“An Upper-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Water Spirit Pearl—not bad at all!”

Satisfied with its abilities, Su Chen happily stored it away.

By now, the number of Innate Spiritual Treasures in Su Chen’s possession exceeded ten, making him one of the wealthiest individuals in the entire Primordial World.

With the perfect Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Pearl, and the Postnatal Merit Treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, Su Chen’s wealth surpassed even his master, Tongtian, and possibly even Dao Ancestor Hongjun!

“Time to check the final major spiritual vein!”

Yingzhou Immortal Island had three primary spiritual veins. Su Chen had already obtained the Chaos Essence Spring, the Twelve-Petaled Purifying World White Lotus, the Three-Light Divine Water, and the Water Spirit Pearl from the first two.

What treasure would the third spiritual vein hold?

“Whoosh!”

At the next moment, when Su Chen arrived at the third spiritual vein, he was immediately greeted by a refreshing fragrance, which seemed to cleanse his True Spirit and make his Sea of Consciousness incredibly clear.

There, before his eyes, stood a towering tea tree, dozens of meters high. Its branches were lush and abundant, while its tender buds glowed brilliantly, exuding an endless, soothing fragrance.

“Is this the legendary Dao Comprehension Divine Tea Tree—one of the Ten Supreme Innate Spiritual Roots?”

According to legend, it took 9,000 years to form a single growth phase.

9,000 years to gestate.

9,000 years to branch out.

9,000 years to produce buds.

In total, it took 27,000 years to generate 99 tea buds, making it an incredibly rare treasure. For all cultivators, the Dao Comprehension Divine Tea was an invaluable treasure. Chewing just one tea leaf would allow instant enlightenment, significantly increasing one’s understanding of the Great Dao.

Enlightenment was something all cultivators dreamed of, yet it was entirely dependent on luck and opportunity. However, Dao Comprehension Divine Tea directly induced a state of comprehension, making it one of the most coveted treasures in existence.

Even Saints themselves desperately sought Dao Comprehension Divine Tea. For countless ages, this legendary tree was only a myth—until now. It was here. On Yingzhou Immortal Island, Su Chen was overjoyed!
