Soon, the waiter returned with a small white jade bowl and gently placed it on the table.
The cat demon nodded at the waiter and opened the lid of the bamboo tube. With a flick of his right index finger, three leaves of the Enlightenment Tea flew out of the bamboo tube and landed in the jade bowl.
Soon, the waiter poured a pot of hot water that he had just boiled into the jade bowl.
After the clear hot water was poured into the jade bowl, the green tea leaves were instantly soaked in it.
After coming into contact with the hot water, the curled tea leaves slowly unfurled and turned into three incomparably green leaves that looked as if they were carved from jade.
Upon closer inspection, the three leaves were completely green and translucent. There were no Dao patterns on the leaves, but the patterns on the leaves were twisted and meandering, very much like the patterns on a living creature's brain.
As the three tea leaves came into contact with the hot water, a green mist was emitted from the Enlightenment Tea. Soon, the hot water in the jade bowl was dyed green.
The cat demon gently lifted the jade bowl and gently blew on it. He praised, "Hmm … Not bad. Regardless of whether this tea leaves can increase intelligence, it's still a good tea. At the very least … its fragrance is very refreshing."
As he spoke, the cat demon brought the jade bowl close to the mouth of the black cat in his arms and said lovingly, "Come … Little Black, drink this. It can make you smarter …"
Although the cat demon's voice was very loving, the black cat was clearly just an ordinary cat beast. It did not understand human language at all and did not want to drink the strange green liquid at all.
Seeing the black cat squirming and refusing to drink the Enlightenment Tea no matter what, the cat demon sighed helplessly. Energy surged out and froze the black cat. Then, he poured the tea from the jade bowl into the black cat's mouth.
Although the black cat wanted to struggle, it could not move at all under the energy confinement of the cat demon. It could only express the fear in its heart through its eyes.
Finally, the small bowl of Enlightenment Tea and the three tea leaves were poured into the black cat's stomach.
Only then did the feline demon release the energy shackles.
As soon as the black cat left the embrace of the cat demon, it opened its mouth and used its front paws to pull at its mouth, trying to pull out the tea leaves that it had drunk.
After a few scratches, the black cat was stunned. It looked at its claws in confusion and then at the big demon cat. Then, its body swayed and fell on the table, snoring loudly.
Not good! This …
Seeing the black cat sway a few times before fainting on the counter, the shop assistant was instantly terrified, thinking that the black cat had been poisoned to death by the Dao Comprehension Tea.
However, Chu Xingyun and the cat demon didn't think so. With their strength, they could easily determine how good the black cat's condition was.
Right now, the reason why the black cat was unconscious was actually because it was digesting and absorbing the energy of the Dao Comprehension Tea. It was being cleansed by the energy of the Dao Comprehension Tea to increase its intelligence.
Looking at the sleeping black cat, Chu Xingyun said, "You can instill the basic language of the demon race into its mind. This way, once it wakes up, it will be able to understand you."
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, the cat demon said, "I have already instilled the basic language of the demon race into its mind many years ago. Unfortunately, it still can't understand me."
Shrugging his shoulders, Chu Xingyun said, "Then there's no problem. When it wakes up, it will know the effects of the Dao Comprehension Tea."
Nodding his head excitedly, the cat demon gently stroked the black cat and said kindly, "This black cat was my wife's favorite pet. More than ten years ago, my wife left me to save me. Since then, only this cat has continued to accompany me."
While stroking, the black cat seemed to sense something and opened its eyes suddenly. It raised its head warily and looked at the cat demon who was stroking it.
After realizing that it was the cat demon who was stroking it, the black cat's eyes lit up with joy. It intimately leaned its head against the cat demon's hand and rubbed it gently.
Feeling the black cat's intimate actions, the cat demon asked, "Little Black, can you understand me now?"
Upon hearing the words of the Big Demon of the Cat race, the black cat jerked its head up and looked over at the Big Demon of the Cat race with a questioning look.
Seeing this, the cat demon sighed in disappointment and said with a bitter smile, "The improvement is still not great. It still can't understand me."
Looking at the black cat, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but frown. If the Dao Comprehension Tea only had this little effect, it was indeed not a treasure. Why would it be auctioned?
However, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, Chu Xingyun still didn't want to give up.
After clearing his throat, Chu Xingyun opened his mouth and said in the common language of the demon race, "Little Black, if you can understand me, nod or raise your paw."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, the cat demon laughed and said, "You really overestimate Little Black. You really overestimate your …"
Before he could finish his sentence, the cat demon shut his mouth abruptly as his eyes widened.
Looking over, the black cat with shiny fur on the ancient wooden counter raised its paw and nodded its head vigorously. It was exactly as Chu Xingyun had said.
In an instant, the cat demon thought of many things.
Just now, he had only asked the black cat if it could understand him. Although the black cat could understand him, it couldn't speak. Therefore, it didn't know how to express itself.
It was only when Chu Xingyun gave it a way to express itself that the black cat instantly moved. It raised its paw and nodded according to Chu Xingyun's instructions. It was very busy.
Looking at the black cat excitedly, the cat demon said, "Little Black … can you really understand me? Go … go and push that kettle over. "
Hearing the cat demon's words, the black cat instantly leaped out and stopped beside the kettle. It raised its front paws and pushed the kettle in the direction of the cat demon.
"Hahahaha …"
Seeing this, the cat demon couldn't help but roar with laughter. As he laughed, sparkling tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.
Hugging the black cat in his arms, the cat demon said, "Baby, this Dao Comprehension Tea of yours is definitely a top-grade treasure. Although it's useless to highly intelligent creatures, it can allow a non-intelligent creature to have medium intelligence."
Medium intelligence?
Looking at the cat demon in confusion, Chu Xingyun asked, "How is intelligence divided? What does the so-called medium intelligence refer to?"
Gently stroking his white beard, the cat demon said, "Generally speaking, in the Astral Sea, intelligence is divided into three levels."
The first level is Low Intelligence. It can understand language and complete a series of complicated tasks according to orders.
The second level is Medium Intelligence. It can communicate, learn, think rationally and make judgments.
The third level is High Intelligence. It can search for beauty, discover beauty, feel beauty, create beauty, and feel the existence of art.
