Chapter 34

Suddenly it was said that the divine water was very...

Seeing the harmonious scene between Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi, Nuwa laughed and said, "It's a pity that my brother went to visit the Sun Star. He said he would pick two bunches of mulberry fruit for me. Now it seems that I will have to bring back two ginseng fruits to see him instead."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, these experts all have brothers and sisters present; they are not alone.

Laozi, who hadn't smiled in a long time, said, "In that case, please come into my Eight Views Palace for the time being. Although I am not good at cultivating spiritual roots, I do have a few pills that can help you have some fun."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable also laughed and said, "I do have a wonderful tea tree. Although it is difficult to bear fruit, the tea leaves, when brewed, have quite a unique flavor."

Tongtian smiled without saying a word. The reason was simple: he had neither spiritual roots nor the ability to refine pills, nor did he own a tea tree, so he could only wait to be eaten.

Many powerful figures entered the Eight Views Palace amidst laughter and conversation. As for their disciples, they followed them in. Among them were only Guang Chengzi, the Third Holy Mother, the Three Immortals, and Zhao Gongming.

Because Nuwa intentionally revealed her perfect form, many Shangqing immortals were sent away. As for those virtuous immortals, although they did not show any lewdness, they were exhausted from their struggles and naturally did not have the fortune to enjoy the ginseng fruit. They could only leave with a sigh.

Having witnessed Nuwa's perfect Dao body, these immortals, upon returning to their caves, only needed to ponder it slightly to greatly improve their cultivation, which could be considered a gain.

Within the Eight Views Palace, the Daoist essence is profound, and ethereal Daoist chants resound throughout the Eight Desolations World. However, these chants are not mandatory; if one is unwilling, they will immediately dissipate, and if one yearns for them, they will immediately return.

Everything follows the principle of non-action; listen when there is intention, and disperse when there is no intention. Never force any choice on any person; everything depends solely on one's own will.

The six great gods entered together, and from all directions came the sound of flowing water and babbling brooks. All kinds of clear springs gushed out from nothingness, hanging down into the sky like waterfalls.

The waterfall is like a beaded curtain of broken jade, sweeping across the water like clear waves flowing horizontally. In an instant, the rapid waves surge and the blue water ripples. Under the surging tide, a boundless and vast pool of water soon rises up, like a jade dew plate, sparkling and shimmering, with fish leaping and playing in the waves. It is truly a rare and beautiful sight.

In the pool, six lotus flowers rise up, delicate and tender, naturally pink and green, as if carved from the most beautiful and flawless jade, their green tinged with pink, making them even more beautiful.

The six great gods sat upright on lotus flowers, while the eight disciples served them. Even just hearing a few words of the Dao was of immense benefit to them.

Lao Tzu remained silent, but simply picked up a pill with two fingers and dropped it into the pool beneath him.

As soon as the pill was placed in the water, a golden carp, appearing from nowhere, opened its mouth and swallowed it. Then, with a flick of its tail, it swam into the depths of the pool.

A moment later, thousands of figures suddenly leaped and surged from the depths of the pool, the sound of their tails slapping the water filling the air. The sounds were varied in pitch and volume, yet resonant and clear, not chaotic at all, but rather like a song being sung.

As a golden carp leaped up, atop its head sat a jade plate inlaid with gold and silver. On the plate was a small, fist-sized, sky-blue box, inside which was a elixir the size of a finger.

Following the golden carp, various other carp leaped up, each carrying a jade plate on its head, displaying a wide variety of different kinds of elixirs.

Nuwa was seeing such a display for the first time, and she found it quite interesting. When she saw a patterned koi swimming by, she smiled slightly on her flawless face, reached out her fair hand, picked up the plum blossom-shaped elixir, covered her lips with her sleeve, and swallowed it.

The moment the elixir entered her mouth, it dissolved into a wisp of energy and vanished. Nuwa felt a lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth, a clear and cool mind, and even the fragrance of plum blossoms burst forth from her body, as if she had truly become a plum blossom fairy. She also comprehended the artistic conception of plum blossoms blooming proudly in the snow.

The others also used a pill each and experienced various extraordinary states of mind, and they were full of admiration for Lao Tzu's alchemy skills.

Refining pills is not unusual, nor is refining pills that allow one to break through cultivation levels. What is unusual is that Lao Tzu is no longer refining medicine, but refining the Dao into pills!

These elixirs were crafted by Lao Tzu from various ethereal and elusive images gathered from the world, such as plum blossoms braving the snow, pine and cypress evergreen, and a monkey scooping up the moon.

Such a profound pill can only be refined by those with high cultivation. It is evident that one day, even Laozi might be able to gather the essence of the Great Dao and refine a pill of the Great Dao.

What they were consuming wasn't the elixir, but the method—something these three great masters naturally understood.

Nuwa and Zhen Yuanzi remained silent, while Hongyun, oblivious to everything else, ate one of the Spirit Monkey Scooping the Moon fruits and then took one of the Ice Skin Jade Bone fruits, only to feel a chill run through him. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Yuanshi, where is that Wonderful Dao Tea? Eating only fruit and not drinking tea is really choking me."

With Hongyun, the lively character, joking around and making people laugh, the slightly tense atmosphere was somewhat eased. Yuanshi Tianzun also laughed and said, "Drinking tea is a small matter. Guangchengzi, go and brew a pot of tea."

Upon being summoned, Guang Chengzi immediately snapped out of his silence and said, "Disciple, go quickly."

After saying this, Guang Chengzi transformed into a golden light and flew out of the palace. He entered the Jade Void Palace, opened the Jade Void Treasury, took out a box of tea leaves, and flew back again.

Despite the gazes of many great masters, Guang Chengzi remained unmoved, his heart as still as a stone, focusing solely on brewing tea.

First, take out the Tushita Lamp, then place the Jade Void Treasure Box on the lamp, and finally put the box of tea leaves into it before starting the brewing process.

Guang Chengzi had indeed seen that wondrous tea tree. It was a companion spiritual root from Kunlun Mountain, ranking among the top-grade plants, yet it neither blossomed nor bore fruit; all its essence was contained in its leaves.

To brew this kind of tea, one must use a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. So even if an ordinary person sees the Wonderful Tea Tree and lets it pluck the leaves, it's not so simple to brew it into tea.

Guang Chengzi has only drunk tea a few times over the years. After all, even though he has a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, he doesn't have enough magic power and time to slowly brew tea. He always asks the old man of Shushan to help him cook it.

But now that Yuanshi Tianzun has ordered him to cook it, even if it drains his magical power, Guang Chengzi still has to boil it.

Just as Guang Chengzi was about to pour in the spiritual spring water, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly said, "I have a pot of Three Lights Divine Water, which was given to me by the demon emperor Huang Jun. It will come in handy now. Nephew Guang Chengzi, use this pot of divine water to brew tea. Don't pour it all out. Add more when you need more. That way, the tea will be more fragrant."

After Zhen Yuanzi finished speaking, he took out a white jade pot from his sleeve and casually tossed it to Guang Chengzi.

Guang Chengzi held the jade pot in his hands, not daring to act on his own. He first looked to Yuanshi Tianzun for permission. Seeing Yuanshi Tianzun nod slightly, he then began to pour water and brew tea.

When Tongtian saw Zhen Yuanzi mention Dijun, his sword-like eyebrows twitched. The three brothers shared the same thoughts and naturally understood each other's ideas.

Emperor Jun suddenly sent Zhen Yuanzi a pot of Three Lights Divine Water; he must be thinking about something!
