Chapter 42: Making Tea

Ji Yuenian led Jiao Xiuyu into the attic, after taking a seat in the quiet Hall, he said, "I havent been here long, there was no tea or wine, and made a joke in front of my senior brother to laugh."

Jiao Xiu Yu waved his hand and said, "No problem, I do have a pot of Ju Ling (spirit gathering) tea here. You can have a taste."

With that he took out a small antique copper pot from the storage ring on his finger, and instantly a faint tea aroma drifted out from it.

"Gather the water, and control the fire."

A crystal blue ball of water coalesced over the copper pot, while a flame ignited at the tip of Jiao Xiuyu's finger, and within minutes the water ball began to boil.

As the boiling water inoculated into the small bronze jug, the refreshing aroma of spiritual tea quickly spread out and filled the entire room in an instant.

Jiao Xiuyu took out two more small tea cups and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, please."

The Ju Ling tea could strengthen the Xuan Sea and enhance the depth of Xuan energy. A small pot of tea was worth about ten primeval stones.

Although Ji Yuenian did not know the actual price of this tea, but he could vaguely guess its value, so he accepted the empty tea cup but instead of taking the tea directly, he put it gently on the table and said: "Im not familiar with senior brother, so I'm a little flattered that you took out such a precious tea to treat me."

Jiao Xiuyu looked a little surprised and said with a smile: "Junior brother is joking? You and I are both rare demon spirits, so we should watch out for each other in this Luoxia Mountain Range, and that's why I helped you out."

It was only then that Ji Yuenian realized that Jiao Xiuyu in front of him had regarded himself as a demon spirit, and that's why he showed such affinity.

"Senior Brother Jiao, you misunderstood this matter. I'm not a demon spirit or something."

Hearing this Jiao Xiuyu was stunned, his eyes were a bit suspicious, he once again looked at Ji Yuenian carefully, his tone was even more certain: "Junior brother, don't make fun of me, you have a rich and incomparable aura of mountain ghost spirit source in you, although mountain ghosts are called ghosts, they are actually a kind of spiritual creature born out of heaven and earth, completely different from normal ghosts, and can be considered as a kind of demon spirit."

Mountain ghosts, ghosts, and spirits in the abyss, were born in the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas where the Yin Qi was nourished, they liked to eat people, animals, demons, and spirits, and mostly females.

Ji Yuenian just remembered that in the depths of his soul, there was still a part of the mountain ghost origin that had not been consumed and transmuted. The mountain ghost was at the cultivation level of the upper stage of True Dao Realm, and its yin energy was extremely strong, so it couldn't be absorbed overnight.

Thinking of this, just as Ji Yuenian was about to open his mouth, Jiao Xiuyu on the other side asked again, "How did younger brother escape from the place of transformation? As far as I know, mountain ghosts of this kind, if they don't have any amazing fortune, they can only be trapped in the place of transformation for the rest of their life, and they cannot leave at all."

"It's a long story."

Ji Yuenian shook his head and did not explain further, he was new here, so it was better to speak less than add things thatll possibly trouble him later.

Taichu was filled with divine power of God of the Taichu Lands, so the mountain ghost's yin power which precipitated within his soul, couldnt reveal a trace within its territory.

Although Luoxia Mountain range was vast and expansive, there was no presence of God of heaven and earth in it, so the aura of mountain ghost's origin in the depths of Ji Yuenian's soul was revealed, the demon spirits were extremely sensitive to this kind of aura, which was like a firefly in the dark night.

Jiao Xiuyu nodded, and no longer asked about the matter, but instructed him: "Junior brother lives here, you must be more careful. The disciples in the (Chiyue Feng/Eclipse Moon Peak) Atrium have all left over the years and those who stayed are deceitful and unscrupulous, and they like to harm ignorant new disciples the most. Just remember one thing, that no matter what happens, no one can do anything to you as long as you don't step out of the courtyard."

After saying this, he took the small bronze pot, which was filled with tea and poured the Ju Ling tea into both cups.

Ji Yuenian took over the teacup and thanked him: "I've troubled you senior brother."

"No problem. When I first entered the Eclipsed Moon Peak a few years ago, I was also ignorant and bullied. It was a wolf demon senior brother from the upper realm who protected me, so I didn't die in the sect mission." Jiao Xiuyu's mood seemed to be a little depressed, "Junior brother, is preparing for the sect examination. This is a tradition that has been continued for countless years at Eclipse Moon Peak. Even if the Lord of Luoxia Mountain interferes, it cannot be changed.

After these words, Jiao Xiuyu put away the copper pot and the tea cup he had just used, and after saying the goodbye to Ji Yuenian he left the courtyard.

After Ji Yuenian had sent him out, he returned to the quiet hall and sat down. He picked up a cup of spirit tea and took a sip of it, but his mind was full of thoughts about what Jiao Xiuyu had said.

The Eclipse Moon Peak was just one of the hundreds of peaks in the Luoxia Mountain Range, and there was nothing special about it, but it had such a strange tradition.

If what Jiao Xiuyu said was correct, and the strict regulations of the Eclipsed Moon Peak could not be changed even by the "Lord of the Luoxia Mountain", then this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

Within the Luoxia Mountains range, there was a Lord and two, vice Lords, who were responsible for controlling the hundreds of peaks in the Taiyu Holy Sect outside the Luoxia Mountains range.

The Luoxia Mountain Lord also came from the Six Mountains and Three Realms of the Taiyu Holy Sect, and at least has the supreme cultivation of the Divine Sea Realm. So how come he was not able to interfere with a mere Eclipse Moon Peak?

Unless the master of the Eclipse Moon Peak had something special that was not known compared to the other mountain peak masters.

Ji Yuenian's thoughts flowed, and he muttered to himself: "If the Luoxia Mountain Lord can make concessions, there is only one possibility left, which is the Peak Master of the Eclipse Moon Peak has long surpassed the other ordinary Peak Lords in the Realm of Return to the Truth, and he is at the Divine Sea Realm!
