Master and Disciple Converse

On the flying vessel, Li Qi was drinking tea with Zhu Fengdan.

That Little Heavenly Master really had kept something up his sleeve. The Rock Rhyme Tea from before had been good, but compared to this, the difference was far from ordinary.

Li Qi even felt his cultivation improve, while a pure Dao resonance began spreading through his body.

This Dao resonance was not aggressive, and it was dissipating, as if it could not last long. Perhaps it was returning to the tea tree itself.

Yet as it dissipated, Li Qi's body felt a peculiar sense of pressure.

This pressure was not unpleasant. It felt like... it felt like... a massage?

Yes, a massage—a soothing, gentle pressure, followed by relaxation. Even the conflicts between Daos within Li Qi seemed to have calmed considerably.

"This is... what the Daoist schools call the 'ultimate end of the Dao'?" After finishing the cup of tea, Li Qi felt the conflicts between Daos within him loosen and ease. All his Dao Lineages seemed to have settled down.

"Mhm. The lingering resonance of the Great Dao. Pretty good, right? Tea leaves were used to imitate the existence of the ultimate end of the Dao. It falls somewhat short, but as an experience—and for the taste—it's still remarkable." Zhu Fengdan smiled at Li Qi.

"Teacher, you suddenly came to see me. Was it because of that Ranked Shaman mission?" Li Qi did not waste words and went straight to the point.

Compared to exchanging pleasantries with Zhu Fengdan, it was better to honestly ask about the mission.

"Mhm, that's the matter. I need to tell you in advance: once you enter, it will probably take you a hundred years to come out. Of course, that means a hundred years in the outside world," Zhu Fengdan said.
