What is Golden Pearl Iron? No cultivator would be unaware of it, not even a beginner in Qi Refining.

It is one of the best materials for forging weapons.

The reason is that Golden Pearl Iron resonates with a cultivator's True Qi. Weapons made with Golden Pearl Iron can unleash 100% of a cultivator's strength.

However... while this material is excellent, just how rare is it?

It is incredibly, incredibly rare.

Furthermore, not only is it rare, but it is also extremely difficult to forge. It is very easily damaged during the forging process, and any damage, no matter how small, renders it scrap.

Even Ling Jing, an Imperial Prince and the next Emperor of the Bei Lan Dynasty, does not possess a weapon made of Golden Pearl Hong Iron. His father, the Emperor, only promised Ling Jing one after he reaches the Nascent Soul stage, otherwise, it would be a waste.

But... such a rare and priceless item... was used to make a hoe... a shovel...

This...

For a moment, Ling Jing and Lie Chun were both stunned. This Senior... is truly extraordinary...

Ling Jing was particularly astonished. After all, even his own father... wouldn't dare to be so extravagant as to use Golden Pearl Iron to make a hoe!

Ling Jing looked at Jing Pu's retreating figure, a hint of confusion in his eyes. He felt as if he had seen this Senior somewhere before...

Ling Jing paused, then his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Jing Pu, who was walking ahead, and said:

"Senior... you are Zhao Zilong of Changshan, aren't you?!"

Unconsciously, Ling Jing's address to Jing Pu had changed to "you."

Hearing this, Jing Pu stumbled, nearly falling over. As expected, it was this kid.

At the time, Jing Pu thought they wouldn't meet again, so he had just spoken casually.

Jing Pu then turned to Ling Jing beside him with a hint of embarrassment and said:

"Uh... that's a nickname. My name is Jing Pu."

Ling Jing blinked in surprise, then a look of realization dawned on his face. As expected, the Senior was the person from that night. He had previously thought the Senior was in the Spirit Transformation stage, but now, he was certain that wasn't the case!

Upon arriving at the small pavilion, Jing Pu brewed a new pot of tea for Ling Jing and Lie Chun.

Under the blessing of Jing Pu's peak Tea Dao, his movements were all so graceful and natural, blending seamlessly with the surroundings.

Ling Jing and Lie Chun simply watched Jing Pu's movements quietly, and to their astonishment, they discovered that merely watching the Senior make tea caused the Spiritual Power and True Qi within their bodies to surge.

If they were to cultivate at this moment, their cultivation speed would definitely be several times faster than usual!

For a moment, Ling Jing and Lie Chun couldn't help but sigh inwardly, marveling at the Senior's talent, like jade and pearls hidden away, impossible for others to easily comprehend...

The tea was brewed, and Jing Pu poured a cup for each of them. As the tea slowly flowed from the spout, a refreshing aroma wafted into Ling Jing and Lie Chun's nostrils.

With just a gentle sniff, the two reacted like startled cats!

Just by smelling the tea, their Spiritual Power and True Qi were surging wildly within their bodies like a raging torrent!!

If their Spiritual Power and True Qi had been like a gently flowing fountain earlier when they saw the Senior's movements, then now, it was like a level ten gale raging in the sea!

What?!

The two were utterly shocked. In this state, if they were to cultivate now, their cultivation speed would undoubtedly be a hundred times faster than normal!

This... this is even more effective than the top-grade Spirit Gathering Pills!!

And this is just from smelling the tea, they hadn't even drunk it yet... what would happen if they drank it?

The two dared not imagine. What terrified them the most was... the tea set Jing Pu was using was the most ordinary from the Divine Sword Sect, found everywhere.

And the tea leaves Jing Pu was using were also the most ordinary from the Divine Sword Sect.

When all these ordinary items were combined, such an astonishing event occurred. There could only be one reason!

That reason was the Senior!!

It was entirely because of the Senior that these most ordinary tea leaves had transformed into top-grade spiritual elixirs!!

This Senior... perhaps... perhaps not in the Tribulation Crossing stage... or even the Mahayana stage... could it be... an Immortal from the Upper Realm who had already achieved Ascension!!

For a moment, the two hesitated to drink, or rather... they couldn't drink it right now!

Such a top-tier cultivation item had to be consumed in a seclusion chamber, sipped slowly, and immediately refined. Otherwise, just smelling it had already caused their Spiritual Power and True Qi to churn like the sea.

If they were to take a gulp, who knew what would happen.

Immediately, Ling Jing and Lie Chun looked at the tea, then at Jing Pu, and swallowed hard before saying:

"Senior... can we take it back to drink?"

Jing Pu: "???"

Are these two crazy?

More importantly, why did these two come here?

Jing Pu immediately cut to the chase and asked directly:

"You two came to me for something?"

Jing Pu still had a lot of things to do. Today, he had to till the land, and the backyard alone was half the size of a football field. Jing Pu had a heavy workload and no time to waste with these two, especially since he didn't know them.

Regarding this matter, Lie Chun had already thought it through before arriving. He immediately said:

"Senior just moved here and must still have many unfamiliar places. I've come to help you."

Oh?

Jing Pu was taken aback. This is great. Did Di Chen send him?

However, Di Chen really knows how to do things, sending his chief disciple to help.

But... what Jing Pu needed to do now was weed the garden... have the chief disciple help him weed the garden?

That's not it.

Immediately, Jing Pu pursed his lips and smiled:

"No need. I don't really have anything here. It's just some chores, just weeding. There's nothing that needs help with."

Lie Chun was stunned, his face dimming slightly. Does Senior not want me to?

Jing Pu didn't chase the two people away. He got up, walked to the pavilion, picked up a hoe, and as he walked towards the corner, he looked back at Lie Chun and smiled, "You two drink some tea and chat here. I'll do this myself."

After Jing Pu finished speaking, Lie Chun, who had a gloomy expression, suddenly's eyes lit up!!

Senior isn't letting me leave?!

Since Senior doesn't want to guide me, why isn't he letting me leave?!

That's it!! It must be!!! I'm truly an idiot, not understanding Senior's intentions at all!!

After his little head spun rapidly, Lie Chun immediately rushed out. He ran to the corner where Jing Pu was preparing to swing his hoe and said excitedly:

"Senior, I'll do it!!"

Looking at Lie Chun, who suddenly seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, Jing Pu was a bit confused. What's wrong with this person?

Jing Pu blinked, a little confused, and said:

"No need, I can do it myself. You go sit over there and rest."

But Lie Chun was very firm:

"Senior, please let me do it!!"

Jing Pu: "..."

Someone actually wants to do farm work? Does that make you angry or not?

However, since Lie Chun wanted to, Jing Pu didn't say anything more. Having someone help was good.

Immediately, Jing Pu nodded and handed the hoe in his hand to the excited Lie Chun in front of him, saying with a strange expression:

"Then... thank you..."

After handing the hoe to Lie Chun, Jing Pu turned around to get another hoe so they could work together.

However, as soon as Jing Pu turned around, Lie Chun suddenly collapsed to the ground with a thud, letting out a huge scream!

Jing Pu looked back in confusion for two seconds...

You damn... are you trying to scam me here?!!
