"Clan and Sect alike revolved around me. That was the greatest lack of freedom," Venerable Honglian said with a complicated expression.
Though Xu Fan had never experienced it, he understood some of what Venerable Honglian was feeling.
"You did not come here merely to bid me farewell, did you, Fellow Daoist?" Xu Fan asked.
With a wave of his hand, Xu Fan opened a Space Door leading into his Immortal Artifact space.
Venerable Honglian stepped inside, and Xu Fan followed.
Within a tea room in the Immortal Artifact space, the Dao of the Five Elements gathered and merged into the Tea Dao.
"Great Dao Tea... it has been a long time since I last tasted it." Venerable Honglian looked at the cup of Great Dao Tea before him, his voice filled with deep nostalgia.
"Oh? Where did you drink it before, Fellow Daoist?" Xu Fan asked curiously. If possible, he wanted to seek some guidance.
"That was a long time ago. Our Nanshan Realm once produced a Tea Dao genius. In less than a thousand years, he had reached the pinnacle, then entered the Dao through Five Elements Water."
"The Great Dao Tea he condensed nourished all things and pierced straight through the heart."
"But it still could not compare to this cup of Five Elements Dao Tea of yours," Venerable Honglian said.
Xu Fan nodded, signaling for Venerable Honglian to drink.
Venerable Honglian lifted the teacup and took a small sip. A nostalgic, intoxicated expression appeared on his face.
"I came this time because I have a matter to ask of the Great Elder."
"Please, Fellow Daoist. I will help if I can~"
Xu Fan was very smooth with such polite words.
The figure of a child a little over ten years old appeared before the two of them.
