After slaying the mid-ninth-tier Thunder Bull, Liu Changxu first collected its demon blood in a Jade Bottle, then drew its mangled body into the Ruyi Lotus Disc.
Then Liu Changxu transformed into a streak of light and flew toward Cloudreach Mountain.
When he reached the skies above Cloudreach Mountain, his powerful late-Mahayana-stage Divine Sense instantly enveloped the entire region. Every bird and beast, every plant and rock, and every fluctuation of spiritual energy within hundreds of millions of li appeared in his mind with perfect clarity.
Soon, a small emerald tree standing atop a precipitous peak caught his attention.
The tree was only a little over ten feet tall, but its lush green leaves seemed to hold an extraordinarily rich vitality. Vigorous fluctuations of Wood-Attribute Laws flowed throughout it, and from afar, a faint green halo seemed to surround it.
After examining it carefully, Liu Changxu felt a surge of delight. He had never expected to find a Mid-Ninth-Tier Spirit Tea Tree here, and he immediately flew down beside it.
With a slight stir of his thoughts, the tender emerald leaves on the Spirit Tea Tree turned into specks of green light, detached themselves from the branches, and hovered silently in the air.
Then the surrounding air abruptly heated up. The fresh, tender leaves instantly lost their moisture, becoming emerald-green spirit tea leaves that gave off a delightful fragrance.
At the same time, a white Jade Box flew out of Liu Changxu's Storage Bracelet. Its lid opened automatically, gathering the spirit tea leaves inside before closing again and flying back into his Storage Bracelet.
After harvesting the spirit tea, Liu Changxu formed another hand seal and cast a spell. A transparent barrier of light abruptly appeared, enveloping the Spirit Tea Tree.
With that done, Liu Changxu vanished from the spot
