In the backyard of the Ye Manor, exotic flowers and grasses are in full bloom, full of exotic fragrance, and the rich Heavenly Essence forms a thin mist, just like a fairy backyard.
After two years of gathering thousands of miles, Heavenly Essence of Ping'an City is becoming more and more intense. Ye Manor is at the core of Spirit Gathering Array, which is the most intense place of Ping'an City Heavenly Essence.
Jiang Ping'an was sitting in the pavilion, using a piece of Enlightenment Tea Leaves to make a pot of tea, and then savored and enjoyed it in small sips.
Enlightenment Tea Leaves is a divine product, and its taste is unique in the world. Before, he put Enlightenment Tea Leaves directly into his mouth to refine it, which was like cow chewing peony.
A beautiful and smart girl maid came over, stood outside the pavilion, and said respectfully, "City Lord, the formation master Liu Xixu wants to see you."
This girl's name is Ye Wenxing, and she is the original Shuo Moon Valley.
After Lan Yu officially lived in the Ye Manor for cultivation, in addition to rebuilding Ye Manor, he also hired many maids and servants. Under the instruction of Jiang Ping'an, she mainly recruited people from the original Shuo Moon Valley. Being able to become the maid servant of the city lord is a dream of countless people. The original Shuo Moon Valley people worship Jiang Ping'an like gods, and they are even more willing to serve Jiang Ping'an.
Most of the original Shuo Moon Valley people lost their surname inheritance while Azure Cang Wolves was in captivity, so they all chose to take the Jiang Ping'an surname "Ye" after they were freed.
Hearing this, Jiang Ping'an opened his eyes, turned to Ye Wenxing and said, "Please come here quickly."
After most of the tea time, Ye Wenxing led Liu Xixu to the pavilion.
Jiang Ping'an waved to Liu Xixu with a smile and said, "Sister Xixu, come over and have a nice tea."
Liu Xixu walked into the pavilion. Jiang Ping'an was making a new pot of Enlightenment Tea Leaves. He did not stand up to greet Liu Xixu. He only said casually, "Please sit down. The tea will be brewed soon."
Liu Xixu was not restrained. She walked to the other side of the white jade table and sat down facing Jiang Ping'an.
Although Jiang Ping'an was enjoying Enlightenment Tea Leaves, he also looked at Liu Xixu carefully and found that Liu Xixu was dressed up today and looked much brighter.
After Liu Xiru sat down, he said straight to the point, "Chen Zhou, I have officially refused to follow Ji Clan Imperial Family back to the Great Qian Kingdom."
"It's okay to stay at Ping'an City." Jiang Ping'an nodded, "Being a city array mage here, Ping'an City needs you, and I also need your help."
Hearing that Jiang Ping'an needed her, a smile appeared on Liu Xiru's pretty face, and she nodded lightly. "Yes."
Jiang Ping'an continued, "Now Ping'an City has received a large amount of Essence Stones from selling land, and is preparing to upgrade the city defense formation. It will be hard for you."
"It's my job." Liu Xixu said.
As Ping'an City's formation master, she gets Essence Stones's monthly benefits. Of course, upgrading the city defense formation was a huge undertaking, and she would also receive additional rewards.
Liu Xixu took out two formation diagrams and said to Jiang Ping'an, "These are the Sky One Water Formation diagram and Myriad Manifestations Spirit Gathering Formation diagram of Ping'an City."
Jiang Ping'an was slightly surprised and asked, "Didn't you say you would stay?"
"I'm staying." Liu Xixu said, "You are the city lord, and I have the obligation to hand over the formation map to you for safekeeping."
She knew that Jiang Ping'an was proficient in formations, and his understanding was rare in ten thousand years. With the formation diagram specially drawn by her, Jiang Ping'an would be able to easily master Ping'an City's formation. If something unexpected happens to her in the future, Jiang Ping'an will not be passive in the city formation.
"Okay, thank you very much." Jiang Ping'an accepted the two large formation diagrams and took the time to study them later.
At this time, the tea had been brewed. Jiang Ping'an poured a cup for Liu Xixu and said with a smile, "Try this tea. I picked the tea leaves with great difficulty."
"It smells really unusual." Liu Xixu commented, "The tea color seems to have nine colors, and it has a Daoist charm."
Jiang Ping'an smiled mischievously, "It's best to drink the whole cup of tea in one go."
"Really?" Liu Xixu picked up the tea cup curiously, and then drank the whole cup in one breath as Jiang Ping'an said.
After drinking the Enlightenment Tea water, Liu Xixu fell into trance instantly.
Seeing that Liu Xixu was completely in trance, Jiang Ping'an couldn't help but smile, then poured tea into his cup and tasted it in small sips.
More than half an hour later, Jiang Ping'an finished a glass of Enlightenment Tea water. Liu Xixu is still in deep meditation.
Enlightenment Tea Leaves is no small matter, Liu Xixu only drank one cup, but it was enough for her to realize many things.
Jiang Ping'an walked out of the pavilion and looked at the exotic flowers and plants in the courtyard. He couldn't help but think of the exotic flowers and plants placed next to his mother Jiang Shuyue's Soul Nurturing Cold Jade Coffin.
Now that he has been away from the Great Qian Kingdom for five years, can his mother still be surrounded by exotic flowers and plants?
"In one month, I will go back to the Great Qian Kingdom." He thought to himself.
The next moment, he couldn't help but remember that New Year's Eve seven years ago, when the exotic flowers and plants in Nangong You Rong's backyard were in full bloom in winter. They were so beautiful and fragrant that they gave him a taste of beauty.
The images of his experience at Yujing kept popping up in his mind, and he felt homesick.
I don't know how long it took, but the sound of light footsteps entered the backyard, and Jiang Ping'an came back to his senses.
After a while, he walked half a foot away from his back, and a clear girl's voice sounded, "City Lord, Deputy City Lord Zhang has arrived in the main hall."
Deputy City Lord Zhang is none other than Zhang Yijie.
"I got it." Jiang Ping'an turned around and responded, then pointed at Liu Xixu who was still in meditation in the pavilion, "You guard Liu Zhenshi here and don't let anyone disturb her."
"No." Ye Wenxing responded with a respectful salute.
Jiang Ping'an strode out of the backyard and went to the main hall to meet Zhang Yijie.
"City Lord." Zhang Yijie greeted Jiang Ping'an and shouted.
His attitude towards Jiang Ping'an became more and more respectful, and even his title changed.
Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, come with me."
After half a cup of tea, Jiang Ping'an took Zhang Yijie to a side hall and retired.
Jiang Ping'an took out a jade box and handed it to Zhang Yijie: "This is for you."
Zhang Yijie was a little surprised and said, "Thank you Young Master Jiang."
After saying that, he took the jade box with both hands and opened it to look at it.
The moment he saw the contents of the jade box, Zhang Yijie's eyes widened, his breathing suddenly became heavy, and his mentality lost control.
"This, this is Enlightenment Tea Leaves!" He suddenly raised his eyes and said extremely excitedly to Jiang Ping'an.
Jiang Ping'an nodded with a smile and said, "This time I entered Divine Origin Ruins and I picked Enlightenment Tea Leaves, so I will give you one in return."
Zhang Yijie bought him a drink of Clarity Tea before, but now he gave him a Enlightenment Tea Leaves in return, which can be said to be a hundredfold return.
Zhang Yijie carefully closed the jade box, stood up, bowed deeply to Jiang Ping'an and said, "Thank you City Lord for the generous gift. With this Enlightenment Tea Leaves, I may have a chance to break through the Law Manifestation Realm and be promoted to the Dao Inquiry Realm!"
He had reached Law Manifestation Realm's Great Perfection as early as sixty years ago when he entered Divine Origin Ruins as cannon fodder. The skills he practiced were also directed at the Dao Inquiry Realm, but it was too difficult to be promoted to the Dao Inquiry Realm.
It takes hundreds of the Law Manifestation Realm top players to produce one Dao Inquiry Realm Great Power.
(The ratio between the Dao Inquiry Realm Great Power and Law Manifestation Realm's top powerhouses seems to be quite large. The actual reason is because Dao Inquiry Realm Great Power's lifespan far exceeds that of the Law Manifestation Realm's top powerhouses, and Great Power rarely dies.)
Zhang Yijie has never given up on being promoted to the Dao Inquiry Realm. He has devoted himself to understanding for decades. In the past ten years, he has vaguely touched some thresholds.
However, limited by his understanding and talent, he has been unable to make further breakthroughs, even with Clarity Tea Leaves.
After receiving Enlightenment Tea Leaves as a gift from Jiang Ping'an, he intuitively relied on this Enlightenment Tea Leaves to break through the Law Manifestation Realm and become Great Power.
Jiang Ping'an has already stood up and said happily, "Great, I wish you to enter Dao Inquiry Realm and become Great Power!"
Finally, Zhang Yijie couldn't wait to leave Jiang Manor to retreat and break through.
