Li Yunjing accompanied Jin Shouyun and Su Guo down the mountain.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Jin Shouyun and Su Guo followed Li Yunjing out of the "Seven Star Palace" and headed down the mountain.
This time, they wore jade scrolls, so naturally, no one questioned them.
Those patrolling the mountain all had magical artifacts that could sense jade scrolls. As soon as they got close, they knew it was one of their own.
Half an hour later, Li Yunjing brought the two to a valley at the foot of the mountain.
This valley is where the non-staff members of the "Seven Star Palace" reside.
Jin Shouyun and Su Guo would henceforth establish a home here.
"Seven Stars Peak" lies in a place rich in spiritual energy, with formations covering an area of ten miles around the entire peak. Thus, even the environment at the foot of the mountain is quite good.
Soon, using his status, Li Yunjing found two adjacent residences for Su Guo and Jin Shouyun in the "Seven Stars Garden" at the foot of the mountain.
Feeling the extremely abundant spiritual energy here, Su Guo and Jin Shouyun arrived at the "Seven Stars Garden" in the valley and immediately let go of their last worries.
The environment here was as good as the Eastern Mountain Area, an excellent place, not much worse than the "Scripture Pavilion." What could they possibly be dissatisfied with?
After taking the two to inspect their respective luxurious residences, the three finally sat together in Su Guo’s home, chatting leisurely.
"Senior Brother Li! Thank you for your care; otherwise, finding such a leisurely task would be quite difficult!"
After Li Yunjing asked if the two were satisfied with the place, Su Guo adjusted his expression and spoke earnestly.
Such a place, if he were not satisfied, what could he be satisfied with?
Must he move into the Eastern Mountain Area residence of the true disciples?
"Indeed! By the way, Senior Brother Li, I have some good tea here. Would you like to try it?"
Jin Shouyun hurriedly added.
Besides being inspected a few times at first, the other conditions were quite good. There were no tasks to complete, how free!
There was no reason to complain.
To show his gratitude to Li Yunjing, Jin Shouyun rummaged through his storage bag for his best stuff this time.
Jin Shouyun took out a purple sandalwood box from his storage bag, carefully opened it, and delicately took out three emerald-green tea leaves.
"What kind of tea is this?"
Li Yunjing hesitated, then immediately detected the rich aroma of tea.
Li Yunjing realized instantly that this was not tier one spirit tea!
Having sampled many types of tier one tea, these three leaves were far superior to those Fu Chao had served him!
"Indeed! What kind of tea is this?"
Su Guo couldn’t sit still either. He hurriedly looked around his new home and found a tea set.
The "Seven Stars Garden" had thoughtfully provided for disciples; every house had all the necessary living items fully prepared.
"Hehe! Senior Brother Li, Brother Su, try it before you ask!"
Jin Shouyun smiled proudly, operated the tea set, and soon boiled a pot of water. Using spiritual spring water, he brewed the tea leaves, handing out one cup to each, with one leaf per cup.
Soon, the room was filled with an enchanting tea fragrance, permeating the air.
Jin Shouyun said cheerfully, then carefully handed the tea cups to Li Yunjing and Su Guo, fearing a single drop might spill.
This cautious act piqued Li Yunjing and Su Guo’s curiosity even more.
Li Yunjing took the cup, sipped a little, and savored it, showing an expression of lingering enjoyment.
Such an individual, who mingled with true disciples and stewards, had tasted many spirit teas, yet found this the finest.
"Fragrant! Rich in spiritual energy! Truly a marvelous thing!"
Su Guo took one big gulp, finishing his tea cleanly.
Instead of praising the tea’s flavor, Su Guo acknowledged the pure spiritual energy it contained, significantly enhancing his cultivation noticeably!
Even though, compared to the rich mana within Su Guo’s body, a cup of spirit tea was just a minor boost.
Nevertheless, just one cup of tea saving him three to five days of meditation greatly amazed Su Guo!
Li Yunjing wholeheartedly agreed with Su Guo’s words, slowly finishing his tea and nodding approvingly.
This tea’s potency was outstanding, capable of increasing a cultivator’s mana, a rare feat.
Li Yunjing knew this tea was particularly precious. After drinking a cup, he dared not ask Jin Shouyun for more.
"Hehe, this is Clear Spirit Tea from the Nine Bends Clear Spirit Tea Tree! It is tier two high-grade!"
After finishing his tea, Jin Shouyun finally revealed the source of the tea.
"This Nine Bends Clear Spirit Tea Tree only matures once every ten years, producing only seventy-two leaves each time."
"Last time, I braved great peril and was fortunate to get three leaves, never willing to drink them. This time, to thank Senior Brother Li, I brought them out."
Jin Shouyun continued.
"Tier two high-grade tea leaves!"
Li Yunjing and Su Guo were both astonished. These leaves were highly valuable, probably costing hundreds of spirit stones each!
Just now, Jin Shouyun had already spent over a thousand spirit stones!
"Hehe, each leaf of this tea is worth seven to eight hundred low-grade spirit stones."
Jin Shouyun said, somewhat painfully, "Less than half a year left until the tree matures again. I wonder how many I’ll get this time!"
"Hmm? Grab? What do you mean?"
Su Guo, a bit puzzled, hurriedly asked.
Jin Shouyun frowned and gritted his teeth, saying, "Here’s the story! Last time, I discovered the ’Nine Bends Clear Spirit Tea Tree’ in a deep mountain. But it was guarded by a tier two high-grade demon beast, the ’Frost Spider.’ The demon is very formidable. Only by using some tricks was I able to lure it away and seize three tea leaves during the opportunity."
"Oh? Any other demon beasts around?"
Li Yunjing’s interest was piqued, continuing his inquiry.
As long as the tea tree was not a cultivator’s property, there was a chance to obtain it!
