In the tea room, Lu Ping tossed a jade bottle to the shopkeeper and said with a smile, "Thank you, shopkeeper. This bottle is what makes the spirit tea so miraculous, and it's also what I need. Take this bottle as a reward for your help."
The shopkeeper took Lu Ping's jade bottle in a reserved manner and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, but Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion is just a small shop. If we can't satisfy you, please don't blame us!"
Lu Ping naturally did not believe the shopkeeper's humble words. The Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant was the top teahouse in Tianxuan Ancient City. For it to be able to survive for thousands of years, it must have a powerful background. The Tianxuan Sect was probably the biggest backer of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant.
There were many customers in the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant every day. It was basically a gathering place for news in Tianxuan Ancient City. Although there were many tea lovers among the customers, at the critical moment of the Laozu Pure Yang Ceremony, most of the customers were people from various sects who were well-informed.
Once the news that he needed the Water of Punishment Thunder was leaked, it would quickly become the talk of the town, unless …
A green light flashed in Lu Ping's eyes. When he looked at the shopkeeper who was bowing to send the customer off, he realized that the shopkeeper was also a late Core Forging adept. He had not noticed it before, so it was obvious that the shopkeeper also had a treasure on him to hide his cultivation level.
However, Lu Ping was not worried that the shopkeeper would cause trouble. After all, the shopkeeper did not know what was in the jade bottle in his hand.
Seeing Lu Ping's silhouette disappear into the distance, the waiter appeared behind the shopkeeper.
"19th Uncle, what did he say?"
The shopkeeper weighed the jade bottle that Lu Ping had handed over in his hand. He said with some disdain, "He dared to ask for such an exorbitant price. The Water of Punishment Thunder is known as the most precious item of all Heaven-level water-based spiritual objects. Even Dharma adepts view it as a treasure. How can this thing used to make tea be of such value?"
The waiter asked curiously, "19th Uncle, what is in it?"
"Huh?"
The shopkeeper realized that he did not know what was in the jade bottle. However, the shopkeeper still had a look of disdain on his face. So what if it was bejewelled wine?
The stopper of the jade bottle was opened. A rich, yet not greasy, fragrance wafted out of the jade bottle.
The waiter, who was standing behind the shopkeeper, greedily inhaled the fragrance. It was as if all the hair on his body had been stimulated by the fragrance.
The waiter did not know what a high-grade heaven-step spirit item was. He only felt that the treasure within the jade bottle seemed to have a wonderful effect on the growth of his cultivation. Just by taking a breath, it seemed that the magic power within his body seemed to circulate a little more.
But at this moment, the disdain on the shopkeeper's face suddenly disappeared and was replaced with uncertainty. "This thing, this thing is …"
The disdain on the shopkeeper's face had disappeared. The waiter looked at him strangely and smiled. "What's wrong, 19th Uncle? Is there really a treasure in there? If you don't like it, give it to me. I can feel that this thing is very useful to me. It will definitely help me break through the bottleneck of the Late Blood Condensation Realm. "
"En, en!"
As the shopkeeper agreed, he carefully dripped half a drop of spirit liquid from the jade bottle. He dipped his finger into it and placed it on his tongue. The rich spiritual energy in the jade bottle caused the shopkeeper's eyes to light up. It was as if he had confirmed what was in the jade bottle.
"Huh? What did you say just now? You want the thing in there? Don't even think about it! "
The waiter was still in high spirits. He did not expect 19th Uncle to suddenly change his mind. He hurriedly said, "19th Uncle, you can't do this. You promised me before!"
The shopkeeper's expression changed. "Shut up. This is not something you can touch."
The waiter was dumbfounded as he watched the shopkeeper carefully hide the jade bottle. The shopkeeper did not even look at him and hurriedly walked towards the back of the teahouse.
The waiter looked at the shopkeeper's figure disappearing into the back of the teahouse. He could only walk up the stairs indignantly. The back of the teahouse was not a place he could enter, even if the shopkeeper was his relative.
The Mysterious Tianxuan Mirror Lake was only a small pool of water in the back mountain of the Mysterious Tianxuan Mountain, but it was the center of the entire Mysterious Tianxuan Mountain. It was also the location of the cave residences of the most revered ancestors of the Mysterious Tianxuan Sect.
At this moment, in an extremely mysterious place in the Mysterious Heavenly Mirror Lake, four old men were sitting cross-legged. In the middle of the four of them was a mirror that was as smooth as a bronze mirror. It displayed the situation in the Mysterious Heavenly Ancient City. As the image flickered continuously, the situation in every corner of the Mysterious Heavenly Ancient City appeared on the screen.
A moment later, an old man who was the leader of the group on the left extended his finger and gently tapped on the surface of the mirror. A ripple immediately spread out from the point where his finger came into contact with the surface of the mirror. The Mysterious Sky Ancient City in the mirror immediately gradually became distant. When the ripple disappeared, only then could one see that it was not a copper mirror, but a pool of clear water.
After a while, as if waiting for the other three elders to laugh at the information revealed by the scene flashing in the mirror, the elder who dispersed the mirror then said unhurriedly, "Regarding the matter of exchanging the Amethyst Royal Jelly for the Lightning Tribulation Elixir that has been widely spread in the Tianxuan Ancient City, what do you all think, junior brothers?"
The other three did not say a word. The old man who had spoken did not mind either. He just closed his eyes gently, as if he had forgotten what he had said just now.
In this secret area, rich spiritual energy rose from the mirror-like pool, condensing into spiritual flowers that flowed in all directions. Then, they gathered on the four Laozu's bodies.
When the four Laozu's sat in meditation, they were like four huge abysses that swallowed and spat spiritual fog. As long as the spiritual fog that was condensed from spiritual energy floated within three feet of the four Laozu's, it would immediately disappear.
At this moment, a cultivator with gray hair and beard sitting at the bottom of the right suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Senior Brother Qi Fan has just become a Pure Yang cultivator and reached an agreement with the five holy lands, but there are already rumors in Tianxuan City that the Purple Crystal Royal Jelly can be exchanged for the Lightning Tribulation Water. Could it be that the five holy lands want to go back on their word?"
"Junior Brother Qingli, you worry too much. This time, the ambassadors from the five holy lands are using the name of congratulating Senior Brother on becoming a Pure Yang cultivator to send the Lightning Tribulation Water. This was in exchange for the Lightning Tribulation Water that our sect has given up thousands of miles of land in the plains. Now that the land has not been handed over, the Taixuan Sect does not dare to be presumptuous. I don't think the five holy lands are behind this!"
Sitting opposite the gray-haired and bearded Qingli Laozu was San Xiang Laozu, one of the four great adepts of the Tianxuan Sect at the late Dharma stage.
"Haha, although Junior Brother Qingli has just become a great adept and does not know much about some of the secrets of our sect, what he said is not without reason. All these years, the Taixuan Sect has relied on the support of Wuxing School to be too presumptuous. It is hard to say that they are not acting in secret."
The elder on the right was the Tianxuan Sect's great adept, Lian Nan Laozu. He said slowly, "There have always been two ways for the Lightning Tribulation Water to form. The first is naturally formed by the heavens and the earth. The second is when the heavens and the earth arrive, and a cultivator condenses the Lightning Tribulation in the process of going through the tribulation. The heavens and the earth are rare, and condensing the Lightning Tribulation is extremely difficult. "
Lian Nan Laozu's words made the other three nod their heads. It was obvious that the three of them had a deep understanding of the matter.
Lian Nan Laozu continued, "The Old Man has gone through two Lightning Tribulations, and his self-confidence is considered rare in the world of practitioners. However, to be honest, Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, he has only condensed three drops of the Lightning Tribulation Water, and it was at the last moment of his first Lightning Tribulation. He saw that the Lightning Tribulation was approaching, and he thought that he would definitely pass it, so he hurriedly condensed these three drops. However, when he was going through the second Lightning Tribulation, the Old Man was ashamed, and in the face of death, how could he still have the mood to condense the Lightning Tribulation Water?"
Qing Li Laozu smiled bitterly, "In any case, Senior Brother managed to condense three drops, but the Old Man only condensed two drops, and that was also when he was going through the first Lightning Tribulation."
"The Old Man, on the other hand, condensed five drops. The first time, he condensed four drops, but he felt that the Lightning Tribulation was just so-so, so he thought that he would be able to condense two or three drops during the second Lightning Tribulation, so that in the future, the sect would have a little more foundation." At this point, San Xiang Laozu smiled bitterly, "However, the Old Man was foolish and arrogant. He had just condensed one drop when the last Lightning Tribulation struck him half to death, and he almost died. After that, he had to rest for a whole thirty years before he could recover. Just thinking about it still gives me a lingering fear. As for the third Lightning Tribulation, to achieve the Pure Yang Dharma Idol like Senior Brother Qi Fan, I don't even think about it!"
Qing Li Laozu raised his head and looked at the old man on the left, "Senior Brother Dong Liu, how many drops did you condense?"
Dong Liu Laozu stroked his beard and said, "The Old Man condensed a little more, six drops. But now, he only has one drop left. He planned to add to the sect's foundation, and the rest have been used elsewhere!"
Qing Li Laozu nodded, "The Lightning Tribulation Water has a wide range of uses. Although there aren't many Core Forging Cultivators who can refine it, it has unimaginable benefits for the condensation of Dharma Idols and the cultivation of Dharma Idols, as well as the upgrading of high level magic treasures. If it wasn't for the fact that we have reached the stage where it is difficult to improve our cultivation, I'm afraid we would have used up the last bit of our foundation."
"Old Fifteen, are you saying that the Old Man has used up a lot of our foundation?"
As soon as Qing Li Laozu finished speaking, an old man with a basket in his hand and a hoe on his shoulder walked into the secret room with a smile. Layers upon layers of restrictions spread out, but they didn't affect the old man in the slightest.
"Of course not!"
Qing Li Laozu first chuckled, then said seriously, "Our sect's foundation has been accumulating for hundreds and thousands of years in order to support the emergence of the pure Yang Laozu and even prepare for the pure Yang spirit to become a true spirit Laozu. Now that Third Senior Brother has become a pure Yang, it is time for our sect's foundation to be used up. It is only right that we use up all of the Lightning Tribulation Water we have accumulated over the past two to three thousand years! "
The old man placed the basket in his hand on the ground and took down the hoe on his shoulder. Seeing that there were a few pieces of black mud on the hoe, the old man casually dipped the hoe into the pool between the four of them. The black mud immediately fell off, and the hoe became black and shiny. Its sharpness even flickered with a black light.
However, the four old men sitting cross-legged next to the pool all had twisted expressions, but they did their best to endure. The self-restraint they had cultivated for hundreds and thousands of years was shattered by the old man's hoe.
