"So, this is a Saint?"
Jiang He was bowing and lowering his head, appearing respectful, but his eyes were actually darting around as he secretly studied the black-robed figure up ahead.
That figure did not appear to be very tall, but it gave off an incomparably imposing feeling.
Layers of dimensions were stacking around him, and though he appeared to be standing before Jiang He's eyes, it gave the illusion that he was roaming the endless dimensions.
"Master, Jiang He is here."
Beside him, the Immortal Hermit of the South Pole bowed and reminded him.
The figure shuddered, and the layers of dimensions around him rippled incessantly as he rapidly returned to normal.
The black figure slowly turned toward Jiang He and smiled. "Not bad, not bad. Judging from your life aura, you are less than fifty years old. It is truly rare for you to have such cultivation at such a young age."
Jiang He's heart skipped a beat.
Less than fifty years old?
Right now, he was not even twenty-six years old.
As for his previous life …
He had transmigrated right after graduating from university, and adding up his two lives, he was almost fifty years old … Was a Saint that frightening that he could see through all his secrets with a single glance?
Still, there was no telling if he could tell that he was a transmigrator …
Jiang He bowed again even as he thought that, saying, "Junior Jiang He greets you, Senior Primeval."
"…"
The Primeval Lord of Heaven did a double take before laughing out loud. "Senior? Haha! It has been years since anyone has addressed me that way. "
Jiang He could clearly see that the black-robed Primeval Lord of Heaven's expression froze for 0.01 seconds. Considering that the Primeval Lord of Heaven might not like being addressed as' Senior Primeval ', Jiang He thought about it and said, "Should I call you Elder Saint?"
Elder Saint?
The Primeval Lord of Heaven waved him off and did not dwell on the issue.
There was no hint of Saint aura on him at the moment, and he appeared ordinary. He chatted and laughed, asking Jiang He some questions, most of which were about Earth.
Jiang He answered everything he knew.
"I heard that you've taken the Yuan Killer Sword and forged karmic ties with Nether River?"
"You're being unreasonable!"
Jiang He was a little angry at the mention of that, and seethed through clenched teeth, "At first, I didn't want to bicker with him because I respected him as a senior, and was even planning to return the Yuan Killer Sword to him after I ascended to Demi-Saint. I didn't expect that not only would he not appreciate it, he even tried to kill me! What a bastard!"
Heavenly Primogenitor smiled and said, "Do you want me to warn Minghe for you?"
"No need!"
Jiang He waved him off and said confidently, "I won't spare Nether River if he keeps going."
They chatted for a while.
The Old Man of the South Pole brought a pot of tea.
He poured tea for both Jiang He and the Primeval Lord of Heaven before standing in a corner with a grin.
In his heart, however, he was extremely shocked.
Did his master value Jiang He that much?
He actually took out his treasured Ancient Tea of Enlightenment!
"Master would not even bother with the two Lesser Saints of the Western Sect, but he is being so easygoing with Jiang He, even vaguely showing signs of befriending him. Could Master really believe that Jiang He could become a Saint?"
"Over the endless epochs, there have been many prodigies who were praised as having the potential to become Saints, but my master has never treated any of his juniors this way … but this kid seems to have a problem with his intelligence, and he doesn't look like he could become a Saint no matter what!"
The Immortal Hermit of the South Pole thought to himself.
Becoming a Saint …
To him, this word was also a kind of pursuit.
He had cultivated for endless years and reached Demi-Saint pinnacle countless epochs ago, but he could not take that final step. In fact, the Immortal Hermit of the South Pole believed that he would never become a Saint.
He quietly studied Jiang He then.
He could not help smiling faintly when he saw Jiang He pick up his teacup.
The Ancient Tea of Enlightenment …
The kid had never had it before, had he?
There was no telling how surprised he would be when he saw such a mystical item.
Clearly, the Immortal Hermit of the South Pole was not aware of what had happened when he arrived at the yard where Jiang He was staying. Moreover, he was in a hurry and brought Jiang He here after informing him that his master had invited him, and Jiang He did not have the time to invite him for tea.
That was why he did not know that Jiang He was drinking the Ancient Tea of Enlightenment as normal tea leaves.
Glug, glug.
Jiang He picked up his teacup and downed the entire cup in one gulp.
The Immortal Hermit of the South Pole's eyes widened and he went up to refill Jiang He's cup, reminding him, "Jiang He, this is the Ancient Tea of Enlightenment and must be savored carefully. You are a Grand Luo, and most items that aid in Dao enlightenment are useless to you. However, this Ancient Tea of Enlightenment would have a certain effect on Demi-Saints, let alone Grand Luo."
Eh?
Jiang He appeared stunned and exclaimed in surprise, "The Ancient Tea of Enlightenment has to be savored carefully to aid in Dao enlightenment?"
But before the Immortal Hermit of the South Pole could say anything, Jiang He said in annoyance, "No wonder I rarely feel the effect of Dao enlightenment even though I drink two pots of tea every day. And here I thought I drank too much and developed a resistance to Dao enlightenment."
As he spoke, he took a sip and savored it carefully, feeling the faint aroma blossoming on the tip of his tongue. However, there was no effect as the Immortal Hermit of the South Pole had described.
Then, he took a few more sips and found something different this time, and exclaimed in surprise, "Eh … this aroma seems different from the tea leaves from the Old Tea Tree of Enlightenment back home. The aroma is thicker, and it feels as if it had been settled for a long time."
The Immortal Hermit of the South Pole was dumbstruck.
His mouth hung open, and his eyes widened as he stared at Jiang He …
What the heck?
I …
Did I hear wrongly?
Did the brat just say that the Old Tea Tree of Enlightenment in his house???
Even the Primeval Lord of Heaven, who had been enjoying his tea nonchalantly did a double take. He suddenly felt that the Old Tea of Enlightenment in his teacup was no longer fragrant, and even his Saint mentality was a little shaken. Looking at Jiang He, he exclaimed in surprise, "Did you say that you have an Old Tea Tree of Enlightenment in your house?"
"Yes."
"Where did you get it?"
"I transplanted it …"
Jiang He repeated the nonsense he had cooked up before.
"That's impossible!"
The Primeval Lord of Heaven exclaimed. "The Old Tea Tree of Enlightenment is a Chaos Spirit Root, and there are only three of them across worlds. They grow in the chaotic alternate dimensions deep within the celestial battlefield, and no ordinary tea tree would mutate into Old Tea of Enlightenment no matter what!"
Chaos Spirit Root?
It was clearly the first time Jiang He heard of that term. Surely he could not say that he planted it, could he?
Hence, he sighed in wonder. "That's why my geography teacher in junior high always said that nature is truly mystical."
As he spoke, he took out two pots of Old Tea Leaves of Enlightenment and said, "Primeval Lord of Heaven, I actually have a small favor to ask of you today."
The Primeval Lord of Heaven glanced at the two pots of Old Tea Leaves of Enlightenment and smiled. "What is it?"
"I would like to ask you to set up an array that accelerates time …"
Jiang He stated his request, and the Primeval Lord of Heaven took out a Ruyi Scepter, saying, "This is the Three Gems Scepter Scepter, and it contains an array that accelerates time. Infuse your Immortal Yuan Strength, and the array would appear. I'll lend it to you for now, and return it when you leave the Hollow Jade Temple."
The Three Gems Scepter Scepter Scepter!
Jiang He's eyes lit up!
That was a legendary Innate Virtue Soul Treasure …
If he could hide it …
Wouldn't that be awesome?
