Chapter 43

Qin Manyun looked at Luo Huang and said, "Luo Huang, this is your territory after all. I have been sent by my sect to ask for your help in finding the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox. The Linxian Dao Palace will surely offer a generous reward!"

Luo Huang was instantly startled.

Generous reward my ass!

We have no grudges or enmities, so why would you push me into the fire?

To get someone from a powerful person, he wouldn't even dare to think about it.

"Can you tell me why you are looking for the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox?" Luo Huang couldn't help but ask.

Qin Manyun pondered for a moment and then said, "Luo Huang, rest assured, we have no ill intentions towards the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, and we certainly won't harm her. She is an ancient and unique species, now transformed into human form, with a natural talent for cultivation, making her the most promising candidate to achieve immortality. We only wish for her to join the Linxian Dao Palace, and we are willing to use all the resources of our sect to help her achieve immortality!"

"Phew—"

Luo Huang let out a long breath. If Qin Manyun had come with malicious intent, he would have immediately driven her away, even at the cost of offending the Linxian Dao Palace!

Daji is now under the protection of Master Li. Even if the Heavenly Emperor himself came, if he had any ill intentions, he would be the enemy of the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty.

Luo Huang only wanted to be a loyal lapdog.

Seeing that Luo Huang was silent, Qin Manyun continued, "Luo Huang, the path to immortality is fraught with difficulties. Now that the path between the mortal and immortal realms is severed, our entire cultivation world hasn't had anyone achieve immortality in a thousand years. The appearance of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox is a crucial opportunity for us!"

Her tone was sincere and somewhat urgent.

"Qin Miss, rest assured, I will do my best," Luo Huang nodded in agreement.

The path between the mortal and immortal realms is severed? Not really. We have a formidable figure in the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty, even more powerful than an immortal.

The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox is right by his side. Would you dare to ask for her?

Luo Huang could only complain inwardly.

Qin Manyun's delicate brows furrowed, feeling that Luo Huang didn't take the matter seriously.

How could this be?

This is the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox. Isn't Luo Huang interested?

Even ignoring the words of the Linxian Dao Palace?

She continued to persuade, "Luo Huang, the Silver Moon Demon Emperor is also looking for the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox. If they find her first, they will likely devour her demon core, and the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox will truly be gone from the world. Therefore, we must act quickly!"

"Qin Miss, rest assured, I will ensure the safety of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox," Luo Huang said solemnly.

He inwardly sneered. The Silver Moon Demon Emperor is nothing. A single hair of Master Li could crush him.

At this moment, Zhong Xiu was in the depths of the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty's treasure vault.

She looked at the empty vault and frowned.

This was where the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty stored its spiritual medicines.

Although she knew that the best medicines were given to Master Li, seeing the empty vault still made her feel uncomfortable.

"I hope Master Li can bestow a little favor to make our Ganlong Immortal Dynasty more prosperous," Zhong Xiu thought to herself.

For a figure like Master Li, even a small benefit that slips through his fingers is a great opportunity for cultivators.

After a moment of reflection, she began to search for tea leaves.

The Linxian Dao Palace is a top-tier force and is on good terms with the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty, so they should be treated with the highest standards.

Usually, precious tea leaves were kept here by Luo Huang.

Her gaze swept over the area, and she accidentally noticed a bag hidden in a corner.

"Huh? I've never seen this tea before. Could it be a new variety?" Zhong Xiu was slightly surprised, picking up the bag to examine it.

The bag was small and looked ordinary, but the packaging was completely different from the previous tea leaves, quite novel.

"The tea leaves that Luo Huang keeps hidden here must be extraordinary. Why not use them to make tea?"

...

In the hall, Luo Huang was still talking to Qin Manyun, and Luo Shiyu was chatting with Qin Manyun as well.

However, Qin Manyun seemed somewhat distracted.

"Tap tap tap."

At this moment, footsteps were heard.

Zhong Xiu held a tray with tea and walked over.

Luo Huang smiled and said, "Qin Miss, finding the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox won't happen overnight. Why don't you have some tea first?"

Qin Manyun shook her head, "No, I want to see the place where the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox transcended first."

She had figured out that the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty wasn't in a hurry, and this tea, though precious to them, wasn't particularly attractive to her.

"Luo Shiyu, why don't you have a little tea before you go? It won't take much time," Luo Shiyu persuaded.

Luo Huang also said, "Yes, Qin Miss, although our Ganlong Immortal Dynasty can't compare to the Linxian Dao Palace, these tea leaves are quite rare, even more so than ordinary spiritual medicines."

Qin Manyun couldn't refuse and finally focused on the tea.

Hmm?

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

This tea was different from any she had seen before. The tea leaves sank to the bottom, with no impurities.

The tea had a light brown color, clear and calm, looking like high-quality amber from a distance.

"This tea... is extraordinary!"

She was well-versed and particular about tea, but even she was drawn to this cup of tea.

Luo Huang finally smiled, quite pleased.

The tea leaves he had collected were indeed extraordinary, even surprising Qin Manyun.

He also picked up a cup to examine it.

Upon closer inspection, he was stunned.

Hmm?

What kind of tea is this? The tea I used to entertain important guests wasn't like this, was it?

Where did Zhong Xiu find it?

At this moment, Qin Manyun had already placed the tea in front of her.

The fresh and elegant tea aroma invigorated her spirit. What a good tea!

She took a light sip.

The astringent tea lingered on her tongue, making her involuntarily let out a contented hum and close her eyes.

She didn't swallow the tea but savored it carefully.

The taste of the tea became more bitter, but her mind became increasingly clear.

Memories from the past flooded back, and many of her confusions were resolved, and problems she couldn't solve were untangled.

The tea slowly flowed down her throat, and the past seemed like a distant dream.

Involuntarily, a tear rolled down her cheek.

She didn't pay attention and took another sip.

Buzz!

At this moment, the sound of the Dao echoed in her ears, and her mind became clear and relaxed.

Besides her, Luo Huang and Luo Shiyu also began to savor the tea and entered the same state.

Just one cup of tea, and they all entered a state of enlightenment!

After a full quarter of an hour, Qin Manyun slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with enlightenment and reflection.

Looking at the cup in her hand, it was already empty.

What kind of tea is this?

Even the best tea leaves from the Linxian Dao Palace are worthless compared to this!

They are not even in the same league!

One cup of tea is an opportunity for enlightenment. Even at the Yuan Ying stage, she felt greatly benefited.
