Yang Jian knew it was a good thing too, but since his grandfather Zhang Yifan had said that, he could only lick his lips and sigh inwardly. What a pity. He could not drink any wine.
However, the moment he caught the fragrance of the pot of tea Zhang Yifan brought over, Yang Jian instantly perked up. The aroma actually made his mind much clearer and more lucid!
Sect Master Tongtian's eyes lit up as well.
"Is this Enlightenment Tea?" Sect Master Tongtian asked in surprise.
"Enlightenment Tea?" The Jade Emperor was stunned when he heard that, and he also fixed his eyes on the teacup.
Enlightenment Tea was an incredible treasure!
A single sip could help someone cultivate rapidly and see through the essence of things.
Sect Master Tongtian picked up the tea and took a sip.
It really was Enlightenment Tea!
Enlightenment Tea was incredibly rare in the Primordial World. Every Saint was desperately envious of it.
He had never expected to get a taste of it here.
Seeing this, Yang Jian beside him also picked it up and took a sip.
Yang Jian felt as if his mind had become incredibly clear. It was as though a layer of lard covering his brain had been peeled away, and the world instantly became transparent.
Things he had never quite understood during his cultivation suddenly became clear and comprehensible, as if everything had fallen into place.
It was wonderful!
He had only experienced something like this when inspiration had once burst forth.
And now, this feeling was even more intense than a burst of inspiration!
Moreover, it lasted much longer.
As long as he kept drinking this Enlightenment Tea, he could maintain this clear and lucid state.
His cultivation was improving!
Yang Jian was overjoyed.
"Come on, don't just focus on drinking. Hurry up and eat."
Seeing that Sect Master Tongtian and Yang Jian were both savoring the tea without touching the food, Zhang Yifan urged them.
The Jade Emperor had long been itching to act. If Zhang Yifan had not been keeping him in check, he would have devoured everything like a whirlwind again.
"All right, Grandpa." Yang Jian came back to himself and began eating.
The moment the food entered his mouth, a surge of pure energy flooded into his body. The energy from the Great Dao Law Fragments was simply astonishing.
Yang Jian felt his cultivation rising visibly.
"Fragrant! So fragrant!"
"Delicious! It's so delicious!"
Yang Jian's eyes shone. He instantly looked like a starving ghost, staring fixedly at the dishes on the table while his hands never stopped moving.
Sect Master Tongtian beside him was equally shaken.
These dishes actually contained Great Dao Law Fragments!
A single bite could allow one to comprehend some of the Great Dao Laws.
Those were the Great Dao Laws!
The Great Dao!
They were not the Heavenly Dao!
This food was simply astounding!
Seeing Yang Jian suddenly start snatching the food, Sect Master Tongtian stopped holding back as well and began gobbling it down.
Seeing the two of them, the Jade Emperor was not about to be polite either. He joined the battle.
In no more than a few breaths, the three of them had wiped out an entire table of food.
If the Jade Emperor's hands had not been fast enough, even the jar of wine in front of him would have been snatched away by Sect Master Tongtian.
Zhang Yifan had only just taken a sip of wine when he saw the food swept clean. He could not help feeling a little sad as he looked at Sect Master Tongtian and Yang Jian with pity. "Little Tongtong, Little Yang, have you been wandering around outside so long that you've become too poor to afford food? How did you end up this hungry?"
"In the future, if you don't have money for food, come find your big uncle, your elder uncle. Or if you know the way, come find your Grandpa—your maternal grandfather."
"Grandpa, it's mainly because your cooking is just too fragrant. The food outside can't compare. We couldn't help ourselves."
"Exactly. If we hadn't eaten faster, Little Yang, that starving ghost, would have snatched it all away." Sect Master Tongtian nodded.
Yang Jian rolled his eyes.
"Grandpa, do you have any more of that Enlightenment Tea?" Sect Master Tongtian asked as he looked at Zhang Yifan.
"Enlightenment Tea? What Enlightenment Tea?" Zhang Yifan was stunned. He had no idea what Enlightenment Tea was.
"The tea you just gave us."
"Oh, those tea leaves. Of course I have some. There's plenty in the backyard, and I've even got a whole storeroom full of it. Do you like tea?"
"I do!" Sect Master Tongtian nodded vigorously.
"If you like it, Grandpa will carry a sackful back for you later." Zhang Yifan spoke generously.
!!!
!!!
Carry a sackful back?
Sect Master Tongtian was overjoyed, and a smile spread across his face.
"Grandpa, I want some too! I like it too! I want a sackful as well." Yang Jian immediately jumped in, shaking Zhang Yifan's arm like a spoiled child.
Good grief, a whole sackful of Enlightenment Tea! Who wouldn't want that?
"All right, all right. You'll all get some." Zhang Yifan patted Yang Jian's hand and laughed.
"Father, I like it too. I want a sackful as well." The Jade Emperor called out. How could he miss out on such a good thing?
The Jade Emperor was furious with himself. He had lived here for so long, yet he usually only went drinking and had actually missed out on such a treasure as Enlightenment Tea!
If he had known, he would have stopped drinking wine and drunk tea all day instead.
"You little brat, do you think I run a tea shop? You want a whole sackful too? I'll give you one small bag at most." Zhang Yifan spoke to the Jade Emperor irritably.
"..." The Jade Emperor was speechless. Why was he so biased?
It seemed that affection really did grow between generations.
Look at how good he was to his grandson-in-law, Yang Jian, and his grandson, Sect Master Tongtian!
Only toward his own son did he show not the slightest bit of concern.
The Jade Emperor raised his head and gazed up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, unable to keep from sighing.
Zhang Yifan raised his hand and smacked the back of the Jade Emperor's head. "Why are you putting on such a deep expression? Take three sacks back later for your daughter-in-law and those granddaughters of mine to drink."
"Ah, all right, Father!" The Jade Emperor immediately broke into a delighted smile, calling him Father with practiced ease.
Sect Master Tongtian, the Primordial World's Number One Good-for-Nothing
After coming to his father's place for a huge meal, drinking a jar of wine, and making off with three sacks of Enlightenment Tea, the Jade Emperor was completely satisfied.
More importantly, he had knocked Sect Master Tongtian down a generation. From now on, whenever Tongtian saw the Jade Emperor, he would have to call him Uncle!
It would be quite a spectacle if the living beings of the Primordial World witnessed that scene.
The mere thought of it made the Jade Emperor laugh aloud.
After eating and drinking his fill, the Jade Emperor glanced at Sect Master Tongtian, who was still looking glum, and immediately cheered up.
"Father, I heard from some friends who cultivate that a major event recently happened in the Heavenly Court," the Jade Emperor said.
"You have friends who cultivate?" Zhang Yifan became interested as soon as he heard that.
"Of course. Little Yang cultivates too." The Jade Emperor pointed at Yang Jian.
Zhang Yifan's eyes lit up. Looking at Yang Jian, he said, "Oh, not bad. When the time comes, leave two cultivation manuals for your grandpa to take a look at."
That lousy system had given Zhang Yifan many so-called supreme cultivation manuals, but no matter how much he practiced, he could never produce the so-called magical power. It left him feeling helpless, and he had no idea why.
In reality, all of Zhang Yifan's magical power had been temporarily collected and stored by the formation inside the house.
"Grandpa, I only know a few superficial tricks. You probably wouldn't be interested in those cultivation manuals." Yang Jian's face nearly flushed red when he heard Zhang Yifan's praise.
Compared with Zhang Yifan, could what he did even be called cultivation?
"All right, if I tell you to leave them, then leave them." Zhang Yifan did not want to exchange pleasantries. He then asked the Jade Emperor, "What major event happened? Did the Jade Emperor secretly descend to the mortal realm to steal some woman, only to get caught by the Queen Mother?"
The Jade Emperor: "..."
"Father, don't make things up. Is the Jade Emperor that kind of person?" The Jade Emperor's lips twitched. If the Queen Mother found out about this, there would be no end to the trouble.
Yang Jian could not help wanting to laugh, but he also stepped in to smooth things over. "Grandpa, I know. I heard that the Heavenly Emperor killed the Fire Lord Star Lord and reclaimed the authority to appoint and dismiss the Heavenly Court's orthodox gods, directly ignoring the Investiture of the Gods List!"
"Oh?" Zhang Yifan found it rather interesting. This Jade Emperor seemed quite different from the one he knew.
"And there's more! In the Hall of Miraculous Mist, the Jade Emperor even had Taibai Jinxing slap Guanyin several times, beating her into having sausage lips!"
"That explosive?" Zhang Yifan found it very entertaining. He took a sip of wine and asked, "Go on, go on. What else?"
"There's also the Journey to the West Pilgrims. They've been pinned down at Lion Camel Ridge and can't advance even half a step. I also heard that the Jade Emperor is preparing to wipe out the pilgrimage team."
"Good! This Jade Emperor is rather interesting after all." Zhang Yifan was delighted when he heard that the Jade Emperor had even suppressed the Journey to the West Pilgrims.
Before that lousy system left, it had said that after the Primordial World successfully advanced, he would naturally meet his wife again.
Now that the Journey to the West had been suspended and the Jade Emperor had changed as well, it seemed that some secret changes were taking place.
