Kunlun Mountain Special Sign-in: Enlightenment Tea and Yellow Middle Plum

The first phase of the "Daoist Scripture Spirit Net" project has its framework erected. With the full support of the Duobao Daoist and the meticulous planning of Lin Xuan (Xuanyuanzi), all matters are progressing in an orderly fashion. The standards committee has preliminarily established metadata standards for three major categories of knowledge: cultivation techniques, skills, and experience. The data collection group has begun systematically organizing the standardized processes of the Artifact Refining Hall and the Array Court, converting them into a format that can be recorded. The technical implementation group, led by several elders skilled in rune arrays, is attempting to construct the prototype of a large-scale jade slip information storage and retrieval array driven by earth vein energy.

With a thousand tasks to attend to, Lin Xuan, as the chief designer and lead consultant, works almost day and night, his divine sense operating at high speed, coordinating all parties and resolving the endless stream of technical challenges and conceptual conflicts. This high-intensity mental labor, even for his physique, which has achieved perfection in the First Revolution of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, and his increasingly powerful soul, makes him feel deeply fatigued—a weariness stemming from the mental and spiritual level.

One day, after finalizing a plan with Wuyun Xian of the Array Court for the breakdown of knowledge points in a complex array diagram, he felt a dull ache in his temples and a sense of depletion in his divine sense. He knew he had reached his limit and needed to temporarily set aside his work to regulate his mind; otherwise, it would be detrimental to his cultivation.

He strolled out of the busy editorial committee's residence and subconsciously headed towards a garden in the back mountains of Jin'ao Island, a place with higher terrain and purer spiritual energy. It was located near the edge of Biyou Palace's core forbidden area, rarely visited, with ancient trees reaching the sky and exotic flowers and plants everywhere. A spiritual spring gurgled forth, forming a clear pool—a rare place for quiet cultivation on the island.

Upon entering the garden, away from the hustle and bustle, Lin Xuan felt his mind instantly relax. He casually found a smooth bluestone near the spiritual spring and sat down, closing his eyes. He cast aside distracting thoughts, simply breathing in the pure spiritual energy of the place and circulating the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique to nourish his somewhat overdrawn soul.

Just as his mind gradually quieted and a subtle resonance began to form with the surrounding natural environment, a system prompt sounded in his mind once more. This time, it carried an ethereal and distant quality, as if it had achieved some kind of resonance with the Dao rhythm of this world:

[Ding! Detected Host in a special environment: Ling Shu Node (Biyou Palace Quiet Garden), a branch of the Kunlun Mountain ancestral脉.]

[Detected Host's recent immense consumption of divine sense, currently in an "Inspiration Vacuum Period" after deep thought and creation.]

[Detected Host's core contribution to the Jie Sect's "Daoist Scripture Spirit Net" project, indirectly enhancing the Fortune Flow efficiency of Kunlun Mountain (Jie Sect side).]

[Hidden conditions met: Mental Exhaustion, located in a Blessed Land, contributed to the Earth Vein. Triggered Special Opportunity Sign-in!]

[Special Sign-in initiated: Drawing upon the Kunlun ancestral vein's spirit rhyme, analyzing the Great Dao Fragments settled in this place...]

[Sign-in successful! Congratulations to Host for receiving a special gift from the Kunlun Mountain Blessed Land:]

1. [Innate Spiritual Root · Enlightenment Tea Tree (A wisp of Origin Aura)]: Not an actual tea leaf, but a trace of the Origin Dao Rhyme from the Innate Enlightenment Tea Tree nurtured by Kunlun Mountain, now integrated into the Host's soul. Effects: Permanently and slightly increases comprehension (approx. 5%), enhances perception and understanding of Great Dao Rules, and significantly reduces mental consumption and time cost when comprehending complex cultivation techniques, divine abilities, and concepts. Can passively trigger the "Flash of Inspiration" effect (low probability) during deep thought, deductive calculations, and creative work.

2. [Innate Spiritual Root · Yellow Middle Plum (Virtual Dao Fruit Projection)]: A law projection of Queen Mother of the West's Kunlun treasure, the Yellow Middle Plum (not an actual fruit). Effects: Upon consumption (mental fusion), it will cleanse the Host's Innate Dao Body once, slightly improving Foundation Quality, mending subtle flaws imperceptible from previous cultivation, making Blood Essence purer, Spiritual Power more condensed, and permanently enhancing affinity with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Note: This effect has an additional consolidating effect on the foundation of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

3. [Kunlun Mountain Spirit Rhyme Blessing (Continuous Effect)]: For the next three months, within the scope of Kunlun Mountain (primarily Jin'ao Island), cultivation speed will increase by 10%, and the probability of breaking through bottlenecks will slightly increase.

Following the system's prompt, Lin Xuan felt as if a clear, sweet spring had been infused into the depths of his soul. The previous fatigue and sluggishness vanished, his thoughts became exceptionally clear and sharp. Previously obscure cultivation points or technical challenges now seemed suddenly illuminated. This was the permanent increase in comprehension brought by the Origin Aura of the Enlightenment Tea!

Immediately after, a gentle, profound energy, imbued with infinite vitality, merged into his limbs and bones from the void, penetrating his marrow and meridians. Like the most meticulous craftsman, it silently repaired the subtle damages left by previous hasty cultivation or external pressures, solidifying every inch of his foundation. His Blood Essence circulated with greater harmony and ease, and the interaction between his physical body and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became smoother. This was the cleansing effect of the Yellow Middle Plum Dao Fruit Projection!

Finally, he felt enveloped by a faint aura, originating from the same source as Kunlun Mountain. Cultivating here would yield twice the results with half the effort. This was the Spirit Rhyme Blessing.

"It's... the Dao Rhyme of Enlightenment Tea and Yellow Middle Plum!" Lin Xuan was profoundly shocked. These two were top-tier Innate Spiritual Roots of the Primordial Era, possessing infinite mystical effects, far beyond ordinary heavenly treasures! Although what he received from the sign-in was not physical, but rather Origin Aura and Dao Fruit Projection, their value, at his current realm, was immeasurable!

Especially the permanent increase in comprehension and the passive "Flash of Inspiration" effect from the Enlightenment Tea were tailor-made for him! His future path centered on continuously combining modern scientific thinking with the Primordial cultivation system for innovation, which required extremely high comprehension and creativity. This item was undoubtedly a timely gift!

The cleansing from the Yellow Middle Plum resolved his lingering concerns. The cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique was inherently arduous and progressed rapidly, inevitably leaving some subtle foundational issues that he himself had not noticed. This cleansing was like a high-quality comprehensive maintenance, laying an incredibly solid foundation for him to impact higher realms later.

[Host, although these two items are not physical, their Dao Rhyme is bestowed by the Kunlun Origin, and their value far exceeds ordinary immortal fruits.] The System explained, uncharacteristically. [The Enlightenment Tea's aura will help your thinking become more meticulous and your inspiration more frequent in the "Daoist Scripture Spirit Net" and subsequent deductions. The Yellow Middle Plum projection ensures your foundation can grow in sync with your wisdom, avoiding the predicament of having the will but not the strength. Use them wisely.]

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and responded solemnly, "Understood, thank you, System."

He slowly opened his eyes. The divine light within them was contained, yet they appeared even more profound. The fatigue was gone, replaced by an unprecedented clarity and fullness. He looked towards the depths of the garden, as if he could perceive the grandeur and mystery of the Kunlun ancestral vein, which had nurtured countless legends, through layers of space.

This special sign-in was less of a reward and more of an "empowerment" and "foundation building." Kunlun Mountain, the abode of myriad gods, had, in its unique way, recognized him, an anomaly, and bestowed upon him the gifts most suited to his path.

With the spiritual wisdom of the Enlightenment Tea in hand and the foundation of the Yellow Middle Plum supporting him, Lin Xuan felt his state had reached its peak since his transmigration. He was confident that he could better handle the upcoming challenges of the "Daoist Scripture Spirit Net" and push the concept of scientific cultivation to a more glorious height. The bells for the second sermon at Zixiao Palace seemed to echo in the distant sky, and he, now, was more fully prepared to welcome the grand era of the Primordial World that was about to dawn!
