256 Bodhi Spiritual Tea
Originally, he thought that the mission to Changping was a surefire plan. After all, so many large sects had mobilized their forces, and even grand elders were involved. Such a lineup could be said to be unprecedented.
Even if they did not gain any advantage, logically speaking, there should not be a problem for them to retreat in one piece. However, these people had suffered a huge setback before even coming face to face with the flood dragon. It was extremely embarrassing for the sects.
When the news reached Jingdu, although those people were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, trying to contact the people of their own sects, they were very careful with their words and tightly covered up the news so that it would not spread.
After all, this matter was of great importance and involved many things. It was hard to guarantee that someone would not take advantage of their lack of strength to secretly cause trouble.
However, such a strange thing happened. The news seemed to have grown wings and spread throughout Jingdu. Many people came to inquire about the authenticity of the news.
In addition to thinking of ways to save the people trapped in Changping, these sects also had to spare some energy to deal with those who came to find out the truth. It could be said that they were exhausted.
Even the forces that did not go to Changping were more or less affected. For example, the Sword Sect. Some sects began to suck up to them in hopes that they could help.
Shen Changling looked at Ye Xuan, who was making tea, and couldn’t help but sigh, “In the entire capital, you’re probably the most idle. Some of the sect masters are so anxious that their mouths are bubbling with fire.”
A soft breeze blew through the bamboo forest, lifting their robes gently. Only the sound of leaves falling could be heard. Everything seemed so quiet. Hearing Shen Changling’s words, Ye Xuan didn’t even lift his eyes, focusing on what he was doing.
Shen Changling showed a gloating smile.
“Those people deserve it. They were too greedy. The matter in Changping had already been resolved, but they still wanted to cause more trouble. Now that they’ve experienced the consequences, they thought of asking us for help and wanted us to help clean up the mess. In their dreams!”
The dried tea leaves seemed to have been rejuvenated by the spiritual spring water. The green leaves stretched out as much as they could, and a sweet fragrance filled with vitality emerged. Shen Changling looked down and his pupils shrank.
The tea leaf looked unremarkable, but it was actually a Bodhi spiritual tea that was worth tens of thousands of gold in the markets. Bodhi tea leaves required a hundred years to take root and sprout, and this tea leaf was made from the center and the most tender part of the Bodhi root, where all of the essence is gathered.
However, Bodhi leaves withered very easily and would lose their medicinal effects as a result, so it was a troublesome matter to preserve them. To make tea leaves, even more complicated procedures were required. Therefore, they were extremely rare in the market and frighteningly expensive.
“Come and have a taste.”
Shen Changling looked at the teacup that was handed over. It was also a high-quality blue and white porcelain. There was a strong spiritual energy on the cup. Even this cup was a magic weapon!
This sip of tea cost at least ten thousand spiritual stones. His hand trembled slightly, and some tea spilled out. Shen Changling looked distressed.
He had never drunk such expensive tea in his life!
In the dense fragrance of tea, Ye Xuan’s dark pupils appeared mysterious, as if he was someone that could turn clouds and rain with a flip of his hand. “It seems that they have also come to the Sword Sect? ”
Shen Changling drank the in one gulp and felt that it was extremely sweet, with an incredible aftertaste.
“That’s right. Quite a few powers came looking for us, hoping that we would help them. However, the people from the Misty Illusory Manor and the Dao Seeking Sect didn’t make any moves.”
“I don’t think they will come. After all, these big sects and Sword Sect have always been at odds with each other. Their relationship isn’t good either. They can’t be thick-skinned enough to come here.”
Then, he looked at Ye Xuan mischievously. “But I’m curious, how did the news spread throughout the capital? ”
It was impossible for those sects to expose their own dirty secrets, and Ye Xuan had a good relationship with Qian Yuan. It shouldn’t be difficult for him to find out what happened in Changping. Perhaps he was involved in this.
In fact, the truth was similar to Shen Changling’s guess. It was Ye Xuan who released the news. If he didn’t teach those people a lesson, they would really think that he was a soft persimmon that was easy to pinch.
Ye Xuan looked at Shen Changling and gave a vague answer. “Who do you think is most likely to be the one?”
The two of them smiled at each other. Shen Changling suddenly understood and could not help but give a thumbs up.
“We should teach those people a lesson. Otherwise, they’ll really think that they can act like they own any place! I’ll be waiting to watch a good show this time.”
Shen Changling didn’t know how to drink tea, and it could even be said that he rarely drank it. However, this Bodhi spiritual tea could increase one’s spiritual energy after drinking it, so he just drank one cup after another.
If such a scene were to fall into the eyes of outsiders, they would definitely be criticized for wasting such a precious treasure, as if it was a cow chewing on a peony.
But Ye Xuan and Shen Changling didn’t care about this. One was rich and generous, and the other didn’t care about trifles. From a distance, they looked very harmonious. Those who didn’t know would think that the two were drinking tea and discussing Dao. The atmosphere could be said to be harmonious to the extreme.
This was the scene that He Jiantian saw when he came over. The two of them were surrounded by spiritual energy, which had almost turned solid.
“This is clearly an ordinary bamboo forest. Where did so much spiritual energy come from?”
If He Jiantian remembered correctly, there was no spiritual gathering array here, and the bamboos were just ordinary objects. He looked around.
When he realized what kind of tea Shen Changling was drinking, his eyes widened.
“This is…” He said in disbelief.
The Sword Sect was indeed short of money. After all, from the sect master, elders to the disciples, all of them had invested their money into their natal swords. They could only be tight on other things.
