Lait Dawn sat face-to-face with the Green Forest Duke in the reception hall of the Old Rooster Shop.
An exquisite tea set rested on the long table. The Green Forest Duke slowly boiled the water and prepared the tea, while the faint, cool, secluded fragrance of the leaves drifted through the air. Lait Dawn drew in a deep breath of the tea's aroma, and his eyes immediately lit up.
If he was not mistaken, this was the Thousand-Leaf Clear Lotus Soul-Purifying Tea secretly made by the Miro Divine Cult. It was prepared through a secret method using new leaves from tea trees over a thousand years old. Drinking it brought immense benefits to those who cultivated divine arts: it stabilized the soul, purified and refined spiritual power, and made one's thoughts clear and unobstructed. Though it could not produce an immediate rise in strength, it could greatly reinforce one's foundations.
Back then, after taking part in a religious war, Lait Dawn had joined forces with several clansmen to kill a demigod-level enemy of the Miro Divine Cult. They had found roughly three taels of this tea while searching the corpse, and that was how he had come to understand the benefits of this secret medicinal tea.
The Miro Divine Cult's various divine arts and secret techniques were savage and bizarre, vicious and uncanny, causing grave damage to the origin of the soul. If they did not have all sorts of secret spiritual medicines propping them up, the clergy of the Miro Divine Cult would have turned into a pack of lunatics long ago. This soul-purifying tea was the most potent soul-nourishing remedy of the Miro Divine Cult. Even a mid-stage demigod expert of the Miro Divine Cult received no more than one or two jin as an annual allotment.
