18 Chapter 18: Green Immortal Spirit Tea
Translator: 549690339
Drinking tea could increase one’s cultivation level. By drinking a few cups every day, wouldn’t that amount to extra cultivation progress?
Even if the increase is minimal, it could accumulate to a significant amount over time.
Thus, He Song asked about it.
“This tea is precious. Even Master Steward can hardly get a sip on normal days. It is only served to the VIPs in a small pot. Today, thanks to Mr. He, I get to enjoy a cup myself.” The corners of Ping’er’s eyes crinkled as she looked at He Song with a hint of a smile.
If it weren’t for the fact that the tea was truly rare, and that He Song had offered her a cup, she wouldn’t have been so easily convinced that his actions weren’t intentional.
Now that He Song asked, she naturally answered everything she knew.
After a short pause, Ping’er spoke again.
“This tea is called Green Immortal Spirit Tea, which is harvested from the Green Immortal Spirit Tea trees grown in the Thick Earth Sect’s Spiritual Medicine Garden. It sells for ten spirit stones a tael in the Immortal Pavilion…”
“…”
“Thank you, Mr. He. I will take my leave now.” Having achieved his goal, He Song no longer had any desire to stay.
After bowing slightly to Ping’er, He Song turned and left the Spirit Skill Pavilion.
What?
Green Immortal Spirit Tea?
Don’t know.
Don’t recognize it.
Haven’t seen it before.
Can’t afford it!
Feeling a little disappointed,
He Song walked away quickly, as if there was a demonic beast chasing him from behind.
He needed to return home as soon as possible.
And then start comprehending the Array Tao Introduction that he had memorized.
Instead of facing Ping’er’s teasing laughter here.
He Song’s figure swiftly faded into the distance.
At the original spot,
Ping’er covered her face with both hands, laughing so hard that her body trembled.
She wasn’t laughing at He Song for overestimating his abilities, but simply found him interesting.
Anyone who cultivates immortality would understand the value of spirit tea that could increase cultivation levels.
But He Song just asked without hesitation.
Upon learning the price, he turned around and left without any desire for the tea.
Furthermore, He Song had only been in the Immortal Pavilion for five years,
but he had already reached the third-tier Qi Refining and saved up a hundred spirit stones.
He could even afford to spend a hundred spirit stones on the introductory Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth.
Plus, his casual handing over of a cup of spirit tea to her made Ping’er see him in a new light.
“If I see him again, I must make friends with him,” she thought.
Muttering to herself, Ping’er’s figure soon left the VIP room, continuing to attend to other cultivators.
He Song had left too quickly today.
She wanted to make friends, but due to her duties, she couldn’t leave. She could only wait for the next opportunity.
Back at home,
He Song sat cross-legged, and memories of the Array Tao Introduction immediately surged in his mind.
Array Tao, what is Array Tao?
In large scale, it uses the heavens and earth as the array, turning everything to dust under the infinite great power.
In small scale, it utilizes spirit stones to arrange the array, manipulating the spirit Qi to affect the prosperity of an area.
However, these were matters for the future.
As a beginner in Array Tao, He Song needed to have a basic understanding of it.
How to engrave array patterns on spirit stones.
How to use the special array-setting techniques.
How to observe the flow of spirit Qi between heaven and earth.
How to set up a real array.
These were the things that He Song needed to figure out right now.
Fortunately.
The information in Array Tao Introduction was very detailed.
As He Song’s eyes scanned through, bits and pieces of insight quickly appeared in his mind.
A spirit stone appeared in his hand, and He Song soon began to learn in a somewhat adept manner according to the memories in his mind.
…
In the blink of an eye, a day and night had passed.
The next morning.
He Song, deep in thought, walked out of his room and headed towards the spirit field he managed to begin using the Spirit Rain Skill.
Half an hour after using the Spirit Rain Skill, He Song’s footsteps paused for a moment before quickly changing direction and heading towards the Spirit Construction Pavilion.
Today.
It was the agreed-upon monthly meeting time between He Song, Wei Fan, and Meng Guan.
On the first day of each month, the three of them would meet in the Spirit Construction Pavilion, have tea and chat, and discuss some of the things that happened within their respective small circles.
Most of the various pieces of information He Song obtained came from here.
While heading towards the Spirit Construction Pavilion, He Song’s mind was constantly learning related knowledge about array tao.
After a day and night of learning, He Song already had some of his own understanding of array tao.
However, whether or not it was correct, he still needed time to verify.
Along the way.
He Song soon arrived at the Spirit Construction Pavilion.
Upon entering the second floor of the Spirit Construction Pavilion.
An old man and a young man sat side by side on mats next to a table.
“Mr. He, you’re quite late today. Did you spend the night at Phoenix Perching Pavilion last night?” Seeing He Song, who seemed to be lost in thought, the elderly looking Meng Guan teased first.
Phoenix Perching Pavilion was a place of pleasure run by the Pure Yin Sect of the Golden Core Sect.
In Phoenix Perching Pavilion, the female cultivators were all stunning beauties, some of whom cultivated dual cultivation skills, and after dual cultivation with them, one’s own cultivation level could be increased.
It could be considered one of the few places in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion that could drain a cultivator’s resources.
“With Mr. He’s wealth, I’m sure he asked for a top token that can increase his cultivation level at Phoenix Perching Pavilion, right? Congratulations on your rapid progress, Mr. He. How wonderful and joyous!” Wei Fan, who appeared to be a young man, said with a flash in his eyes, shaking his head and laughing.
Although they knew He Song wouldn’t spend his spirit stones in such a place, the three of them had a great relationship and got along well, so they could joke around without any harm.
What’s more, Wei Fan had just used the Spirit Vision Skill and discovered that He Song had actually broken through to the third-tier Qi Refining.
That’s why he said this to tease him.
It was impossible for He Song to hide his breakthrough from the second-tier of Qi Refining to the third-tier from others.
But he didn’t plan on hiding it, anyway.
Hearing the teasing from his two friends, He Song didn’t rush to argue and sat down in his seat. Suddenly, he let out a sigh.
“Alas…”
The moment the sound came out.
The whole room was silent enough to hear a pin drop.
The two of them, who had wanted to say more, momentarily paused at the sight.
They exchanged glances and found astonished looks in each other’s eyes.
In the five years they had been together with He Song, he had never sat down so silently and then let out such a deep sigh like today.
Never, not once!
But what on earth had happened today to make He Song act so out of character?
Wei Fan gave Meng Guan a signal to ask.
Meng Guan touched his beard and accidentally pulled out a few strands, grimacing in pain.
However, with Wei Fan’s constant prompting, Meng Guan finally spoke up.
“Mr. He, has something happened?” Meng Guan gently asked as he placed a cup of tea beside He Song.
He looked as if he was afraid of startling He Song, the third-tier Qi Refining cultivator.
Seeing him like this, Wei Fan was speechless and face-palming.
Although he felt that Meng Guan was being overly cautious, Wei Fan still kept his eyes firmly locked on He Song.
If someone bullied his junior brother, where would he, as a Qi-refining late stage cultivator, put his face?
Perhaps he would have to step in and recover He Song’s pride.
After years of acquaintance, Wei Fan still had the intention to stand up for He Song.
