Brewing Tea and Discussing the Dao

Isn't he just a lecherous thief? How can he be so lacking in Dao Heart?

Countless people in the teahouse were secretly thinking, "No wonder this person has such a bad reputation. Who can stand such a scoundrel?"

Zhou Tong, however, didn't think too much about it. He directly gestured for Yan Yixi to sit down. Yi Qingwu, who was standing next to him, took the teapot with her Yi Qingwu hands, moved gracefully, and brought a fragrant breeze to Yan Yixi's side, filling her cup.

The aroma of tea filled the air, and Yan Yixi, who was enjoying this service, showed a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected that Yi Qingwu would actually be treated like a maidservant by Zhou Tong.

"Brother Yan is well-versed in the ways of Six Desires Red Dust Heart Refining. How could such ordinary tea be worthy of him?" Zhou Tong casually waved his hand and poured out all the tea on the tables of the people in front of him.

Immediately, countless people around felt extremely distressed. The annual production of Minor Enlightenment Tea at Cloud Mist Tea House is limited, and it is usually only enjoyed by the Sect Master of a sect. Such a small pot of wine requires tens of jin of Source, and it was just poured away like that.

"Brother Zhou, you..." Yan Yixi also showed a look of astonishment.

Zhou Tong waved his hand and casually took out a jade pot. A surge of Life Essence overflowed from it, and everyone in the teahouse was stunned. What kind of water was it that contained such abundant Life Essence?

It's simply Divine Spring!

"This kind of spring water?" Yan Yixi and Yi Qingwu, who were closest to Zhou Tong, saw the spring water in the jade pot immediately and were even more shocked.

Just a drop of this spring water is enough to revive the dead and heal the wounded. It is effective even for saints. It is an absolutely miraculous Divine Spring that defies the heavens. You cannot find such a spring anywhere in the entire Ziwei Ancient Star.

"This is Divine Spring Water reserved for the Ancient Great Emperor!" As Zhou Tong spoke, he activated his Dao Fire to boil the Divine Spring Water in the jade pot, and then he slowly took out two tea leaves.

One tea leaf is imprinted with a Taiji Diagram, covered with numerous Dao Pattern, making it incredibly mysterious; the other tea leaf shines with a silvery glow, with stars appearing and disappearing on it, like a vast starry sky.

Yi Qingwu and Yan Yixi were even more stunned. How could this tea and its Dao Rhyme look like the Enlightenment Tea from ancient legends?

"I was fortunate enough to obtain a few pieces of Enlightenment Tea in a remote and dangerous place!" As Zhou Tong spoke, he put two tea leaves into the pot, and a fragrant aroma immediately filled the air, spreading far and wide, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

"Using the Divine Spring to brew Enlightenment Tea —only the Ancient Great Emperor could enjoy such a flavor, worthy of Brother Yan's path of Six Desires Red Dust Heart Refining." Zhou Tong smiled slightly and personally poured Yan Yixi a full cup of Enlightenment Tea. "I would like to ask Brother Yan to expound the Great Dao upon me!"

Yan Yixi felt like she was living in a dream, almost intoxicated. The scene before her was too dreamlike. Divine Spring paired with genuine Enlightenment Tea, something that only Ancient Great Emperor could enjoy, was actually appearing before her today.

The aroma of tea filled the air, permeating the tranquil teahouse and leaving many onlookers almost mesmerized, their expressions dazed.

"Brother Zhou's actions are truly hard to refuse!" Yan Yixi gave a wry smile.

He never expected that Zhou Tong would insist on seeing the Dao of his Path of Human Desire. But the other party was very polite and even brought out the Enlightenment Tea, which was reserved for Ancient Great Emperor. If it didn't involve the core techniques and was just some insights into refining the mind, he really couldn't refuse.

"I am honored by your high regard, Brother Zhou. I have no choice but to offer my humble opinion!" Yan Yixi said immediately.

But he spoke, yet no sound traveled out, causing many around to curse inwardly, and even Yi Qingwu was speechless. Zhou Tong had set up Dao Pattern around the two of them to prevent the Dao from leaking out; only the two of them knew the specific details.

Yan Yixi was explaining the way of cultivating the mind in the Way of Path of Human Desire, and Zhou Tong listened very attentively.

This path of Six Desires Red Dust Heart Refining is actually somewhat similar to the Great Dream of Ten Thousand Ages. The Great Dream of Ten Thousand Ages is about spending one's life in a series of dreams, comprehending the Tao within dreams, and experiencing the myriad aspects of life within dreams; while the path of Six Desires Red Dust Heart Refining is about spending everything in the real mortal world.

If one truly completes this path of self-cultivation, it may indeed lead to the attainment of a part of the Great Dream of Ten Thousand Ages state of mind.

"The Six Desires Red Dust Heart Refining, somewhat similar to the Great Dream of Ten Thousand Ages, yet different. This is because this method of refining the mind focuses on worldly desires, while the Great Dream of Ten Thousand Ages is more comprehensive. One is the righteous path, the other is a risky one." While listening to Yan Yixi teach him the way of Six Desires Red Dust Heart Refining, Zhou Tong was also constantly thinking.

He was comparing this method of refining the mind in the mortal world with some of the Daoist methods he knew.

Among them are Longevity Method like the Great Dream of Ten Thousand Ages, as well as similar paths of self-cultivation from the Immortal Ancient Era and Chaotic Ancient Era.

In the Immortal Ancient Era and Chaotic Ancient, there are countless cultivation methods, including the path of refining the mind based on the mortal world. However, this path of refining the mind is somewhat different from the path of refining the mind in the Path of Human Desire.

Now, using the method of the Path of Human Desire as a guide, Zhou Tong quickly integrated the countless mind-refining methods he had previously obtained from the Fusang Divine Tree. Gradually, a completely new and incomparably powerful method of mind-refining began to emerge.

"That's right. With this method as the core, we might be able to activate the Immortal Gold Profound Meaning of the Immortal Tear Green Gold!" A sense of joy welled up in Zhou Tong's heart. He saw the possibility of activating the profound meaning of the Immortal Tear Green Gold Immortal Gold Profound Meaning.

Historically, there have been people who have activated the profound meaning of Immortal Tear Green Gold. Zhou Tong has been deliberately moving in that direction, so he is very confident that as long as he perfects this path, he will definitely be able to activate the profound meaning of Immortal Tear Green Gold.

"In fact, it's not just about refining the mind, but also about refining the spirit!" At the same time, two other techniques also appeared in Zhou Tong's mind— the God Striking Stone Treasure Art Peace Calamity Art.

The God Striking Stone Treasure Art is one of the Ten Evils Treasure Art. It is incredibly powerful and particularly adept at striking spiritual senses, hence the name "God-Striking Stone".

Although the Peace Calamity Art" is not one of the Ten Evils Treasure Art, as one of the Immortal Ancient Three Great Sword Arts Ten Evils Treasure Art the Immortal Ancient Era, its power is in no way inferior to the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques. In fact, in terms of offensive power, many of the Ten Evils Treasure Art cannot compare to it. The power of the Peace Calamity Art" is also fully manifested in the realm of divine sense, making it the strongest means of attacking with divine sense.

"The God Striking Stone Treasure Art Peace Calamity Art... If this were integrated into that brand-new method of refining the spirit..." Zhou Tong began to deduce in this direction.

"No, there's another way... the Ruthless Great Emperor's Self-Slaying Path Proving Art! My Self-Slaying Path Proving Art is incomplete, but what if we fill the incomplete part with the God Striking Stone Treasure Art Peace Calamity Art?" Zhou Tong's eyes suddenly lit up.

If the God Striking Stone Treasure Art and the Peace Calamity Art are further modified to replace the Self-Slaying Path Proving Art, then will "Self-Severing" become "Slay Him"?

Each hit cuts off a portion of the opponent's thoughts and ideas.

"Holy crap, wouldn't this create a divine technique? Brain-Dead Fist? Anyone hit by it will have their brain destroyed?"

As Zhou Tong listened to Yan Yixi's teachings on Tao and Dharma, his thoughts had already wandered off to who-knows-where.
