The tea was fragrant, its aroma lingering in the air and refreshing the heart and mind.
For some reason, merely smelling it gave one a faint sense of the Great Dao.
He poured two cups of tea, one for Qin Yun and one for Tongtian.
Tongtian looked at the tea before him. It was exceptionally clear and translucent, as pure and lucid as time and stars.
Just looking at the tea made him reluctant to drink it.
Qin Yun said nothing. He simply picked up his cup and took a light sip.
The tea's fragrance filled the air, and its taste turned sweet upon the tongue.
Qin Yun took a small sip, then set down his cup.
For tea like this, how could a mere light sip possibly be enough?
With tea like this, one should take a sip, then take a hearty second sip, finish the whole cup, then drink a second cup, a third cup...
But Qin Yun was used to it. No matter how good the tea was, he had grown accustomed to drinking it.
There was no need to rush. He could drink it slowly.
Besides, tea was meant to be savored slowly.
Tongtian glanced at Qin Yun. The next moment, he picked up his own cup, brought it to his lips, and drank.
After all, Tongtian was a mighty figure in his own right. He, too, was accustomed to drinking tea slowly and savoring it carefully.
Tongtian took a light sip. The tea was richly fragrant, and the aroma bloomed throughout his mouth.
Tongtian carefully savored it and found it extraordinarily delicious.
Not only was the tea delicious, but as he drank it, Tongtian felt his thoughts becoming remarkably clear. The Dao Arts he had already comprehended became exceptionally lucid at this moment.
Even the Dao Arts he had yet to comprehend showed faint signs of loosening.
This tea... was truly wondrous!
Tongtian could not help taking a second sip.
His train of thought became incredibly clear, and he found some points of breakthrough in Dao Arts he had previously failed to comprehend.
Tongtian was overjoyed and drank a third sip.
His thoughts remained crystal clear, and that opening for a breakthrough widened further.
Tongtian could not help thinking, This... could it be... Enlightenment Tea?
Enlightenment Tea was an incredible treasure!
Legend had it that when heaven and earth first opened, there had been only one Enlightenment Tea Tree, capable of allowing people to gain insight into the Great Dao.
It seemed that this Enlightenment Tea Tree was in the possession of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
The Enlightenment Tea Tree was exceedingly rare. There was only one in existence, and it did not produce many tea leaves—only this little amount in a thousand years.
He had never expected to drink Enlightenment Tea here...
Tongtian could not suppress his delight and continued drinking the tea in his cup.
The more he drank, the clearer his understanding of Dao Arts became.
By then, Tongtian had finished every last drop in his cup.
After finishing it, Tongtian wanted another cup, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
Tongtian was, after all, a mighty figure in his own right. When drinking tea, he usually sipped slowly and savored it carefully, yet here, before Qin Yun, he had drained an entire cup without even setting it down...
For a moment, he truly felt embarrassed.
Tongtian set down his cup.
Qin Yun said, "Would you like another cup?"
Hearing this, Tongtian shook his head, indicating that there was no need.
"If you want to drink, then drink. No need to stand on ceremony," Qin Yun said forthrightly.
It was only a cup of tea. There was absolutely no need to be polite.
Tongtian looked at him and said nothing, but inwardly, he agreed.
"This tea is top-grade Enlightenment Tea. It can help people gain insight into the Great Dao," Qin Yun said.
Naturally, Qin Yun knew what kind of tea it was.
Tongtian looked at him in astonishment. This tea... really was Enlightenment Tea...
And it was top-grade Enlightenment Tea at that!
"Drink a little more. It will benefit your comprehension of the Great Dao," Qin Yun added.
Tongtian naturally knew that, but what he had not expected was for Qin Yun to possess Enlightenment Tea.
Enlightenment Tea was so rare, yet Qin Yun actually had it...
Tongtian wanted to ask Qin Yun why he had this tea, but Qin Yun was so unfathomable. Since he could even produce Great Dao Origin, possessing Enlightenment Tea was nothing strange.
For a moment, Tongtian found Qin Yun even more unfathomable.
Qin Yun looked at Tongtian, then took out the God Slaying Spear the system had rewarded him from the system inventory.
Since the system had rewarded it to him anyway, there was no harm in taking it out for a look.
The God Slaying Spear emerged from the system inventory and appeared within the Inner Space.
The moment the God Slaying Spear appeared, its fierce, baleful aura of slaughter instantly spread throughout the entire Inner Space.
As an Innate Supreme Treasure came into being, its dense aura erupted violently like surging tides!
Before they had even laid eyes on the treasure, they could already feel its overwhelming intent to kill!
Tongtian's entire body trembled involuntarily.
Qin Yun trembled as well, but quickly calmed down.
Tongtian looked toward the God Slaying Spear in utter disbelief.
The God Slaying Spear was actually sitting on the stone table between the two of them...
The God Slaying Spear was right there, on that stone table...
Tongtian stared at the God Slaying Spear in disbelief.
Th-this really was the God Slaying Spear?
It really did look exactly like the God Slaying Spear!
The God Slaying Spear was wreathed in an aura of slaughter. Merely looking at it was enough to make one's heart quake with fear.
Tongtian was currently only at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm. Hongjun had only just become a saint, and his first sermon had yet to begin. Tongtian himself possessed no magical treasures at present.
Looking at the God Slaying Spear, Tongtian found it utterly inconceivable.
This God Slaying Spear looked genuine. It was neither an imitation nor a fake.
"Y-you really have the God Slaying Spear?" Tongtian asked in disbelief.
Qin Yun nodded. "I told you, I wasn't lying to you."
Qin Yun spoke casually, as though he were merely stating something very simple.
Tongtian could not believe the scene before his eyes.
This tiny Mountain God Temple actually possessed something this extraordinary...
The God Slaying Spear was a treasure that all living beings of the Primordial Wilderness desired!
"Now you believe me, right?" Qin Yun said with a smile.
"Y-you... who exactly are you?" Tongtian asked.
"I am the Qingyi Mountain God worshipped in this temple," Qin Yun said.
"You're unwilling to reveal your true identity?" Tongtian asked.
Qin Yun shook his head. "My true identity is the Qingyi Mountain God of this temple."
"Y-you are Dao Ancestor Hongjun?" Tongtian asked.
In the Primordial Wilderness, Hongjun's name was the most renowned. All living beings of the Primordial Wilderness revered him as the Dao Ancestor.
Moreover, Hongjun had already become a saint. He could be considered the most badass existence in the entire Primordial Wilderness!
Qin Yun shook his head, thinking, How did I get lumped together with Hongjun?
I'm not Hongjun, hey!
"Tongtian, I'm not Hongjun. Don't let your imagination run wild!" Qin Yun said.
"If you aren't Hongjun, then who are you?" Tongtian asked, unable to believe it.
Qin Yun smiled. "There are other people in this Primordial Wilderness besides Hongjun."
Hongjun was not the only one.
Upon hearing this, Tongtian looked at Qin Yun, gazing at him deeply.
