Chapter 431
Coffee tree?
Next, Long Xuan visited all the major tea stalls and bought a lot of good tea again, but none of the famous teas he got afterwards could surpass Ying Tea.
Yingcha is already the best tea in this tea tasting conference. Without Wudao tea, no other tea can compete with it.
The next step is the Gu fighting session. The rules of the Gu fighting are the same as the traditional rules. The only difference is that both sides can only use tea Gu.
The bet is the tea on both sides. A small bet is fun. Many people participate in this game to show off their top-quality tea. There are many onlookers and cheers all around, and it is very lively.
Long Xuan didn't have a tea Gu on him for the time being, so he could only choose to watch from the side. Of course, even if he had a tea Gu, he would not participate in this game in a high-profile manner and expose his cards to everyone.
Soon it was time for the tea-tasting session, where everyone had to take out their best tea and compare it with each other.
Those who pass the quality test can participate in the subsequent tea ceremony and obtain the qualification to enter the mysterious land of the river god. The top 100 people can get additional rewards.
Soon, Long Xuan, Shui Lao and Shui Juanyun came to a square and stood there.
I saw that the tables in the square were piled with treasures. All kinds of treasures were glowing, and the dazzling array made people drool.
Long Xuan also looked at the treasures on the table with a burning gaze. Some of the treasures on the table were so tempting that even he could hardly bear to see them.
As expected, these treasures are the rewards for the winners of the tea-drinking competition.
Long Xuan quickly scanned the treasures on the table, and finally his gaze stopped on a sapling, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Mr. Shui, you are well-informed. Do you know what kind of spiritual medicine that is? I have never seen any record of this tree in any book."
Long Xuan pointed his finger forward and glanced at Shui Lao beside him.
Shui Juanyun also looked over with a puzzled look, and exclaimed, "This kind of spiritual medicine is the first time I've seen it. Judging from the richness of its spiritual power, this spiritual medicine is either of the earth grade or the heaven grade, so it must be extremely extraordinary."
"Spiritual medicines of this level can actually be used as prizes. This is really too generous. Is the organizer of the conference really so generous?"
Shui Lao stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Don't say you don't know this kind of magical medicine, even I don't know it."
"You have to understand that when the world was first created, the human race was just born, and when they first came into contact with plants, these plants had no detailed classification."
"Finally, after continuous research by our ancestors, plants with special effects were classified as magical medicines, plants that tasted good when soaked in water were classified as tea, and plants that had no effect were all classified as weeds."
"If I'm not mistaken, this plant is a weed that has no function."
"Who would waste time memorizing the names of a bunch of weeds? It's normal for us not to recognize this weed."
“Although this weed contains a huge amount of spiritual power, it is of little value as long as it has no use. This is why the organizers of the conference are willing to take it out.”
"Weeds?" Long Xuan thought.
Plants without any effect are all classified as weeds in this world. What if this heavenly plant has a supernatural effect, but humans haven't discovered it? This possibility cannot be ruled out.
The reason why he quickly noticed this plant was because this plant was very similar to the coffee tree in his previous life, which needed to have coffee beans ground into powder to make a drink.
And there shouldn't be a drink called coffee in this world, right?
Long Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
There are only two kinds of drinks in this world: tea and wine. If this tree is really a coffee tree, I might be able to create the world's third most popular drink - coffee.
In this world, wine can be used to make wine Gu, tea can be used to make tea Gu, and similarly, coffee can definitely be used to make coffee Gu.
Coffee Gu may not be weaker than wine Gu and tea Gu. If the research is carried out in depth, many new Gu species will be born in this world, and even many powerful and heaven-defying Gu worms will be born. If things go as he wants, then he will create another major Gu worm school, become the founder of this school, and get the title of the father of coffee.
This will surely be a deed that will benefit generations to come and will be of immeasurable merit. I will also be recorded in history forever and will influence future generations for countless thousands of years.
Long Xuan's eyes were burning and he clenched his fists. This had to be said to be a very exciting thing.
This is a new continent with endless treasures, which makes him eager to do something great.
"It's really interesting. In terms of the level of spiritual power, it's like a top-grade spiritual medicine, but since it has no effect, it's not a top-grade spiritual medicine. What ranking do you need to get to get such a strange prize?"
Long Xuan pretended to be calm and asked calmly.
He was extremely nervous at this moment. Even if he knew what rank the reward for this coffee tree was, it would not be so easy to obtain.
How could he possibly calculate exactly what ranking he would get, unless this coffee tree was the number one reward, in which case he was absolutely sure.
Otherwise, no matter how high the coffee tree's ranking was, it would not be something he could easily obtain.
Shui Lao didn't see what Long Xuan was thinking, and said casually: "In the last tea tasting conference, those who ranked higher had priority in choosing prizes. You can choose any one of the prizes on the table."
"The people who rank higher will take the most valuable treasures from all the tables, and the people who rank lower can only pick up the rest."
“I think this session will be no exception to the rule.”
Hearing this, Long Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. This would make things easy. As long as he won the first prize in the tea tasting conference, he could be the first to go on stage to choose the prize, and then this coffee tree would be his.
"Mr. Shui, everyone must bring out a cup of good tea in this round to be eligible to enter the God of the River God Realm. Didn't you claim to use inferior tea and eventually trade for top-quality tea? Did you succeed? Brother Yun has failed now."
Long Xuan finally withdrew his gaze from the coffee tree, turned to look at Shui Lao, and asked with a smile.
"Haha! How can I fail in what I want to accomplish?"
Shui Lao smiled, showing a proud look, and took out a cup of steaming hot tea from the storage ring.
Seeing this tea and smelling the familiar tea fragrance, Long Xuan's eyes showed surprise. Isn't this his own Bingxin Tea? I really don't know who Shui Lao traded for this.
"Haha! Isn't this your Bingxin tea?" Shui Juanyun looked at Long Xuan and said with a smile: "This tea is very popular in the entire tea tasting conference, and people are still talking about it now."
"Once this tea comes out, I think you will be the champion."
Shui Lao shook his head and said with a smile: "It is impossible to win the championship with this tea alone. Although this tea is good, it is just brewed in a peculiar way."
"I don't know what method you used to make this tea extremely mellow, far exceeding the normal level of Bingxin tea."
"But the materials used in this tea are far from the highest quality at this tea tasting conference. This tea tasting conference has gathered almost all the famous teas in the world. Various top-quality teas that are rarely seen in a century are everywhere here. The volume is terrible."
"What we have the most here is famous tea. Although the Bingxin tea you brewed is good, you came to the wrong place. There is always someone better than the best. I'm afraid Bingxin tea can't even make it into the top ten in this place full of famous teas."
"What's more, there are many people who traded for Bing Xin Tea from you, so how can my Bing Xin Tea be competitive?"
After hearing what Mr. Shui said, Long Xuan frowned.
I didn't expect this place to be so tight. If this happens, I might have to take out the shadow tea I brewed with the water from the sky. (End of this chapter)
