"Above Origin Tier is Mystic Grade."
Hua Wujiang crushed a tea leaf into powder between his fingers, then mixed a tiny pinch into a ball of water. Into another ball of water, however, he tossed a generous handful.
"Haha, when you get old, you like your tea strong."
With that, he waved his hand, and the ball of water containing that tiny pinch of tea powder floated before Lin Ke. "Just hold it in your hand and drink."
Hua Wujiang held his own ball of water and brought it to his lips for a sip. "Remember to take small sips. This is Supreme Grade Mystic Grade Jade Ginger Tea. It's good for your Embracing Origin Palace."
Mystic Grade... Supreme Grade?
It sounded expensive-or rather, exceedingly rare.
"Thank you for the tea, Supreme Elder." Curious, Lin Ke cupped the ball of water in his hands and took a sip, imitating Hua Wujiang.
It tasted mildly spicy, warm and soothing as broth.
The next instant, spiritual energy exploded in Lin Ke's stomach.
But it wasn't an unpleasant explosion. It was more like the burst of sensation that came with eating something delicious.
After bursting forth, the energy surged toward Lin Ke's Cinnabar Field and merged with the soil that represented the Spirit Power within it.
It made the soil more compact, yet also allowed things to flow more smoothly.
Lin Ke could feel that his Spirit Power flowed out more efficiently.
It was like a pipe clogged with limescale that had suddenly been cleaned out, allowing the water to flow more freely.
"Excellent tea!" Lin Ke blurted out in praise. "Tea like this can only be savored here with you, Supreme Elder Hua."
"Oh?" Hua Wujiang looked surprised by his reaction. "Well, I underestimated your Embracing Origin Palace. Have another two leaves!"
