"You don't have to be so careful. Even if I'm going to die today, Mr. Nian will definitely wait for me to finish talking before he starts the ambush. Because there are some things that have puzzled him for a long time, and he desperately wants to know the answer. "
Ji Lingxi nodded, but it was still difficult to dispel her anxiety.
Knowing that there were endless dangers ahead, how could he really relax? How big of a heart did he have to have?!
As she ascended the mountain step by step, an indescribable sense of oppression seemed to have been built in the air for a long time. It made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
"This is the Spirit Restraining Array."
Yun Yang explained with interest as he walked, "This is the Four Seasons Tower's usual tactic. Back then, they used the Spirit Restraining Array to seal off our ability to transform to the greatest extent, so we could only use our physical strength to fight them. That was also the reason for our tragedy. "
Yun Yang's voice was unusually calm as he spoke plainly, without the slightest hint of emotion.
Ji Lingxi asked worriedly, "Huh? Then, can you still … "
Yun Yang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether I can or not. I'm no longer the person I used to be. They can't do anything to me!"
Both sides scoffed at the same time, obviously disdainful of what Yun Yang had said.
Yun Yang ignored the jeers and continued to ascend the mountain slowly, as steady as ever.
In spite of this, the murderous intent and malicious intent from both sides came crashing in waves. It was obvious that the Four Seasons Tower's experts wanted to use this opportunity to frustrate Yun Yang. They wanted Yun Yang to lose his edge before meeting Mr. Nian.
However, Yun Yang was unperturbed, ignoring it as if he did not see it.
Along the way, he acted like he was on a sightseeing tour. He climbed up the mountain at the speed of an ordinary person, leisurely and carefree.
…
The Temple of Nine Supremes.
Yun Yang suddenly realized that the nine statues that had been destroyed in the previous battle had been reconstructed, looking just like before.
A total of nine statues stood majestically and solemnly in the Temple of Nine Supremes.
It was the image of nine masked men in black.
Ji Lingxi lifted her head and focused her gaze on the last two statues. Behind each of the two masked statues was a cloud that seemed to be flying rapidly.
It was the image of wind and cloud.
Their masters were naturally Supreme Wind and Cloud.
In the main hall, a tea table had already been set up.
There was only a man in cyan sitting peacefully in the seat with his head lowered, concentrating on brewing tea. The fragrance of tea wafted into the air, and the way this man brewed tea was as smooth as flowing water. The whole process was extremely natural, making the spectators feel extremely comfortable. It was as if just watching him brew tea was already a great visual pleasure.
Yun Yang smiled and said, "This Mr. Nian can't be a fake anymore, can he? His true body has descended!? "
The man in green lifted his head and said with a smile, "Lord Supreme Cloud has met me personally. Why should this reputed one conceal myself and make a fool out of myself?"
This person's appearance was thin, his hair was slightly grey, and there seemed to be countless clouds flashing through his eyes. He looked like he was floating in the air, and his temperament was extraordinary. Looking at him, one could not help but have a good impression of him. He was indeed a good face.
This face was very familiar.
Yun Yang nodded and said, "As I expected, Feng Xiange."
Mr. Nian smiled. "Lord Supreme Cloud's foresight is miraculous. You've never let down the title of Supreme Wit. Naturally, you won't be wrong. That's right, the God of Wine, Feng Xiange, is the identity I used most often when I roamed the martial world in the past. "
He smiled amiably. "I wonder if Lord Supreme Cloud is satisfied with the fine wine that I've kept in my collection?"
Yun Yang laughed and said, "The taste is not bad indeed. It truly lives up to the title of being unparalleled. It's a pity that there's too little of it. It's not a great deed."
Mr. Nian guffawed. "I've given you all of my life's treasures. I didn't even keep a pot for myself, yet you're complaining that it's too little. How good should a great deed be? It's beyond my reach, and I'm powerless."
Yun Yang sat down slowly and gestured for Ji Lingxi to take a seat with him. Then, he looked at Mr. Nian with interest and said, "The God of Wine's brewing is indeed unparalleled, but how about this tea?"
"If Heaven's Inquisition were here, he would know best," Mr. Nian said.
Yun Yang smiled faintly. "There's no need for us to beat around the bush anymore. Heaven's Inquisition has already gone to the Bound of Universe. He's no longer in Tianxuan."
Mr. Nian sighed. "We've been friends for a lifetime, yet we've unintentionally parted ways. I wonder if I'll have the chance to meet him again when I've gone to the Bound of Universe. "
He picked up the teapot and poured tea for Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi. He smiled and said, "In this world, before you, there was only one person who could make me brew tea with my own hands — Gu Chaliang."
"Now, there's you. Oh, there's this young lady as well."
"Of course, it's my honor to be able to serve tea to Lord Supreme Cloud, whom the world worships as a god."
Yun Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip. His eyes brightened as he exclaimed, "Great tea!"
Mr. Nian laughed. "Of course it's great tea. This tea was made when I went to the nine mountains, crossed the nine levels, crossed the nine heavenly rivers, and collected snow lotuses of nine different colors from the nine snowy peaks. Before the snow lotuses bloomed, I took only the closed petal of each lotus and soaked it in the water of the nine underworlds for nine days and nights. Then, nine virgins in their prime stirred the clouds of the nine heavens and dried them within nine breaths with the mystical Qi of pure Yin. "
He chuckled softly. "I dare say that I'm the only one in this world who has this tea, and it only costs nine taels and nine copper coins!"
Yun Yang asked cautiously, "May I know the name of this tea?"
Mr. Nian smiled and said, "This tea … is called … Tea of Nine Supremes."
Yun Yang clapped his hands and laughed. "Good name. The tea is good, but the name is even better!"
Mr. Nian squinted his eyes and said, "Indeed, the name is better. Every time I drink this tea, I treasure it very much, not daring to miss a single drop. When I taste the tea, it's like I'm savoring the process of mixing the Nine Supremes into this cup of tea and drinking it. I like this feeling from the bottom of my heart. "
Yun Yang smiled and said, "Is that so? It's a pity that I have a completely different understanding."
Mr. Nian said, "Oh? Please enlighten me, Lord Supreme Cloud. "
Yun Yang said, "My understanding is very simple … The so-called Four Seasons Tower, the so-called Mr. Nian, have put in so much effort to create this exquisite tea, yet they insist on calling it Nine Supremes. This makes me feel that Mr. Nian seems to be the tea farmer of the Nine Supremes. To please the master, you're willing to go to any lengths. You live up to your name."
Mr. Nian stared at Yun Yang. After a long while, he smiled faintly and said, "Every time I drink this tea, I'm very careful with the amount of tea I drink, because I'm afraid that I'll never be able to taste it again if I finish it. Since a year ago, I've stopped drinking this tea. This is because there's only one steeping left. "
"I want to keep this steeping and drink it with the Nine Supremes. Only then will I not let this tea down."
