On the Kunlun Party's Rocktop Mountain, behind the majestic grand hall, there was a quiet hall built under pines and cypresses. Jin Dan Friar and Melaleuca Japonica often meditated here when they had nothing to do.
Few people came here. Under the green pines and cypresses, the quiet hall was very quiet. The shadows of the trees were reflected on the ground, swaying slightly with the wind. Occasionally, the crisp chirping of birds could be heard from the distant forest, as if there was an otherworldly celestial atmosphere.
In the quiet hall, other than the white-haired but youthful Melaleuca Japonica, Yi Xin was also kneeling at the side, carefully brewing tea, the fragrance filling the air.
In a flash, the tea was ready. Yi Xin held the cup with both hands and placed it on the table in front of Melaleuca Japonica, saying, "Uncle-Master, please have some tea."
The teacup was pure white, crystal clear like the first snow. The tea in the cup was clear and fragrant. One sniff was enough to know that it was a very precious tea in the world.
Melaleuca Japonica took a sip, then nodded slightly and smiled at Yi Xin. "Little girl, your cultivation is not yet complete, but your tea brewing skills are amazing."
Yi Xin giggled. "My family grew up planting spiritual tea. After a few generations, I dare not say anything else, but I do have the ability to brew tea."
Melaleuca Japonica nodded. "That's true. Back then, your family's ancestor, Yi Yu, was known as the Kunlun Tea Deity. He planted, tasted, and evaluated tea, all of which were peerless. That's why the Yi family passed down the family business. Even today, the Yi family's unique tea, 'Little Crane', is still famous. No wonder you are so knowledgeable in the tea ceremony. "
Yi Xin blinked and moved closer to Melaleuca Japonica, whispering, "Uncle-Master Yan, if you like 'Little Crane' tea, I'll sneak some for you during next year's harvest, okay?"
Melaleuca Japonica laughed. "You're such a crafty girl! Why not this year? "
Yi Xin pursed her lips and said, "Martial Uncle, you're blaming a good person wrongly. It's not like you don't know that it's not easy to grow this Little Crane Tea. The annual yield is at most one to two catties. Even so, our Kunlun Sect has set an annual quota of seventy to eighty percent of it as a gift. There are also some elders in the sect who like to drink tea. Not to mention Jindan cultivators like you, there are even a few Yuanying Daoist Masters. Our Yi Clan does not dare to offend any of them. "
She spread her hands. "That's why when the new tea is produced this year, it'll be sold out in the blink of an eye. No matter how capable I am, I can't get more. Next year, when the tea leaves are harvested, I plan to sneak home and sneak into the tea fields to get some when it's dark … "
As she spoke, she looked at Melaleuca Japonica with innocent and pitiful eyes.
Melaleuca Japonica chuckled and patted Yi Xin's head. "Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you." As he spoke, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eyes that there was still an inch long scar on the left side of Yi Xin's pretty face. It was slightly red and seemed to be slightly abrupt. Her face darkened. Her fingers slid down and touched Yi Xin's cheek. Yi Xin seemed to feel something and shrank back.
Melaleuca Japonica snorted coldly. "Such a beautiful face was almost ruined. Come to think of it, He Gang got off lightly. If I had known, I would have killed him that day! "
Yi Xin lowered her head slightly but quickly raised it again with a smile. "Forget it, it's all in the past. Don't be angry, Martial Aunt."
Melaleuca Japonica's eyes were filled with pity. "You're so young, yet you suffered so much for no reason. It must have been hard on you." As she spoke, her eyes suddenly turned cold. "Just as you said, your Yi family has been offering tea for so many years and you've built many friendships. Yet, when you were in trouble, not a single person stood up for you. How infuriating."
Yi Xin sighed and said, "I did ask my father about this, but he also told me that this matter can't be blamed on anyone else."
"What did he say?" Melaleuca Japonica was surprised.
"My father said that although our Yi family's tea is good, it's just a dispensable beverage. If you like it, you can drink it. If you don't, it's fine." Yi Xin said. "But when it happened, He Yi Senior Brother was a genius with a bright future. His master, Dukon Zhenren, was a powerful Yuanying Enlightened Master and the First Seat of the Heavenly Soldier Hall. He was highly respected in Kunlun, and even the Enlightened Master valued him. Under those circumstances, no one would go against them for some spiritual tea. "
"My father said that it's hard to blame anyone."
"My father also said that our family's biggest sin is being too weak."
Yan Luo was silent. After a while, she let out a long sigh. Suddenly, she laughed self-mockingly and said, "So, I am the most foolish one?"
Yi Xin left her seat and knelt in front of Melaleuca Japonica. She kowtowed and said in a low voice, "Uncle-Master, you saved me from danger. Yi Xin cannot thank you enough. The entire Yi family is deeply indebted to you. In the future, if Uncle-Master has any instructions, Yi Xin will do her best, no matter … "
Yan Luo waved her hand to stop Yi Xin from speaking. Then, she pulled Yi Xin up and said with a loving look in her eyes, "Just take care of yourself in the future. Furthermore, I'm not the only one who contributed to the outcome of that incident."
Yi Xin's expression changed slightly. She suddenly remembered what Lu Chen said to her. She was lost for a moment but recovered quickly. She smiled at Melaleuca Japonica. "But you saved me. Don't worry, Uncle-Master. No matter what happens next year, I'll definitely get you some 'little cranes'. "
Melaleuca Japonica laughed and pulled Yi Xin to sit next to her. She sighed. "Speaking of which, it's all your cheap Master Dongfang's fault. He insisted on taking you as his disciple even before he recovered. In the end, he still can't come out from his closed-door training. He left you at Baicao Tang's place and let others bully you."
Yi Xin shook her head and smiled. "You can't say that. I'm indebted to my Master. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to go to Kunlun."
"Pfft!" Yan Luo spat in annoyance and said, "That unreliable old man has never done anything serious all day long. If it wasn't for him trying so hard to snatch you away, I would have been able to bring you up the mountain. "
Yi Xin exclaimed. "Ah, really?"
Melaleuca Japonica rolled her eyes at her. "Nonsense! Do you think I'm stupid? Why would I stand up for Dukon Zhenren and his talented disciple for no reason? It's because I can't take it. "
"Oh, thank you so much!" Yi Xin held Melaleuca Japonica's hand and said with a smile, "It's a pity that our Kunlun Party doesn't allow us to worship more than one Master. Otherwise, I'd worship you as my Master too."
"You wish!" Melaleuca Japonica scolded with a smile. "But I've known that old man Dongfang Tao for many years. He's much stronger than me in terms of cultivation. If he didn't go into closed-door training to heal his injuries, I don't think those people would dare to bully you like this."
Yi Xin was taken aback, "Life and death are unpredictable? Isn't my Master just recuperating in closed-door training? "
Melaleuca Japonica snorted, but there was a complicated look in the depths of her eyes. "If it was just to heal his injuries, he should have come out long ago. But it took so long. There must be a problem."
Yi Xin was more and more surprised. "What problem?"
Melaleuca Japonica extended two fingers. "There are two possibilities. First, old man Dongfang's injuries are deeper and more serious than we know. Even he can't take it. If he hasn't fully recovered after so long, he's probably not far from death. Second …" She shook her head, but lowered her voice and said to Yi Xin, "I'm afraid he's found an opportunity. He's trying to break through to the Yuanying realm."
Yi Xin suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "Yuan …"
Just as she said that, Melaleuca Japonica had already covered her mouth with her palm and pulled her back. She glared at her and said, "Don't say anything."
Yi Xin's face was filled with disbelief. She was filled with excitement and nervousness. Even her body was trembling slightly. She nodded repeatedly. Melaleuca Japonica then let go of her hand. Immediately after, Yi Xin immediately covered her mouth with both hands, as if this was the only way to keep the secret.
After a long while, she seemed to have calmed down a little. However, she still didn't dare to move her hands away from her mouth. Through the gaps between her fingers, she asked Melaleuca Japonica in a trembling voice, "Senior Aunt, is … is this true?"
Melaleuca Japonica snorted. "I've already said that this is only my guess. However, I've known old man Dongfang for decades. I can tell what kind of person he is the moment he raises his butt … This time, hmph! It's most likely. "
Yi Xin covered her mouth tightly and giggled foolishly. Even her eyes were squinting as she watched.
Melaleuca Japonica glanced at her and couldn't help but shake her head. She also laughed. "If that old thing is lucky and really breaks through that life and death barrier and advances to the Yuanying realm, then your good days will come."
A Yuanying Stage Daoist Master, who could summon the wind and rain, move mountains and fill the sea, had supernatural powers that could penetrate the heavens and the earth. Since ancient times, he had been an immortal-class figure, standing at the top of the human cultivation world.
However, such a person and such a realm, among the hundreds of millions of cultivators in the past thousands of years, only a very small number of people could reach this realm. This was because when one tried to break through to the Yuanying realm from the Jin Dan realm, there was an extremely dangerous life and death barrier that was extremely difficult to break through. When breaking through to the next realm, there would be the hindrance of the Heart's Devil from the outer realm. It was difficult to succeed unless one had great perseverance or strong luck.
"That's great!" Yi Xin was excited for a while. She couldn't help but worry. She quickly put her palms together and closed her eyes to pray to the heavens. She said, "May the heavens bless Master, bless that everything goes smoothly and that everything is stable and stable."
Melaleuca Japonica looked out of the Quiet Hall. Between the pine and cypress trees, the mountains in the distance could be faintly seen. The clouds were surrounded by celestial aura, but she didn't know who was hiding deep in the mountains.
After a long time, Yi Xin's voice suddenly came from beside her ear. She said, "Senior Aunt, I have a request."
