The Qingping Sword and Heart-Piercing Lock, Gifts for Senior
The words of Tongtian had just fallen.
Lin Tian waved his hand, refusing.
"Let's talk about the magic weapon later, have some tea first."
I originally thought that since the elders of the other party's family were visiting, I wouldn't need to bring gifts.
After hearing the other person's explanation, I realized I had been overthinking things.
Lin Tian sighed and waved his hand casually.
A mysterious aura emanated from before Tongtian.
The emerald green teapot, which had been sitting quietly on the edge of the stone table.
It then drifted smoothly forward.
He steadily poured a pot of clear tea into each teacup.
The bowl was instantly filled with fragrant, emerald-green tea.
As it gently rippled, it released a mysterious, ethereal mist, along with a refreshing aroma of tea.
"This tea is made by steeping tea leaves that I have refined."
"It has a pleasant aroma and refreshing taste, and it can invigorate the mind. Although it's not considered a top-quality tea, its grade among teas is quite good."
Please have some tea.
Lin Tian didn't intend to give him a chance to speak. After explaining, he gestured for him to speak.
He casually picked up the teacup and took a small sip of tea.
Tongtian originally intended to use his magic weapon to exchange for a model of the Great Wall from Lin Tian.
But since the other party had invited him for tea...
He had no choice but to suppress that thought and politely cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Tian.
"Then this humble Daoist priest shall humbly comply."
After Tongtian picked up the teacup.
Wen Zhong, the Three Xiaos, and Zhao Gongming behind him also picked up their teacups.
They all downed their drinks in one gulp, and a look of satisfaction appeared on their faces.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Tongtian also noticed their expressions and felt rather strange.
It's just a cup of tea.
It's not a magic cure, so why bother?
That's what I was thinking.
Tongtian picked up his teacup and took a casual sip.
The next moment!
Tongtian's eyes snapped open.
A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"This tea..."
"Such rich spiritual energy!"
"Just a small sip, and the spiritual energy flowed into my primordial spirit, though only a trace, and didn't have much of an effect!"
"But it's powerful enough! After all, it's just a cup of tea!"
"No wonder the Gongming and Three Xiaos members all looked so excited. This kind of spiritual tea, at their That Realm, can even nourish their primordial spirit, heal old injuries, and improve their cultivation!"
The thought flashed through my mind.
Tongtian couldn't help but feel somewhat taken aback.
'This courtyard is becoming more and more mysterious.'
'Not only is the spiritual energy so abundant, but even this tea can enhance one's cultivation.'
'But all of this was just ordinary stuff to this senior, something he didn't even consider a threat!'
'These ordinary items, if brought to the Interception Sect, could elevate the Interception Sect's strength by several levels!'
Thinking about this...
A strange thought flashed through Tongtian's mind.
After drinking the tea in the teacup in one gulp, he placed it on top.
Then he cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Tian.
"I never expected you to be so accomplished in the art of tea. I am truly impressed."
"This tea is truly pure; not only is its taste mellow, but it also possesses a rich spiritual essence."
"After drinking it, my primordial spirit became clear and transparent."
"Of all the teas in the world, only yours can be so clearly perceived by me."
Tongtian has tasted countless teas, and when the Three Pure Ones discuss the Dao, he will also brew a pot of spiritual tea.
However, for someone in a high position, possessing the qualities of Sage, and with profound spiritual insight, drinking tea is merely a habitual act.
After all, when discussing principles, we can't just talk and not do anything else, can we?
The tea that the Three Pure Ones drank.
It is already the most exquisite celestial tea from the Primordial World era.
It could be compared to the tea that Lin Tian gave him.
Yet there is a world of difference between them.
Only.
Words that Tongtian.
But to Lin Tian, it meant something else entirely.
'The finest tea?'
Lin Tian gave him a strange look.
They talk as if they've tasted every tea in the world.
Have you never tasted good tea before?
Lin Tian thought of Gongming Ming's family background.
They immediately realized that their uncle's family must not be well-off either.
However, he does appear to be quite refined and dignified.
Even ordinary families couldn't raise someone like that.
Could it be that their family has fallen on hard times?
Lin Tian thought strangely, but didn't take it to heart.
He waved his hand and said.
"It's just some ordinary tea. Since you want some, I'll give you a few packets."
That was when Lin Tian had just obtained the system.
Among the prizes awarded by the system after writing a diary entry.
This leads to the improvement of skills such as playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, and tea ceremony.
Not only that, but tea bags were also included.
That was the first time I met Fellow Gongming.
I also gave him a packet of tea.
For Lin Tian...
Tea is something that's optional.
Only.
His words fell.
Tongtian's eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't help but exclaim with wild joy.
"Fellow Daoist, are you truly serious?!"
"Is it truly possible to give this humble Daoist a packet of this tea?"
It was just tea leaves; Lin Tian hadn't expected such a strong reaction.
He said somewhat strangely, "Of course it's true... Do you have any questions, fellow Daoist?"
Upon seeing Lin Tian admit it, Tongtian quickly shook his head and said excitedly.
"It's alright! It's alright!"
"I simply feel this tea is far too precious!"
"I am deeply grateful and flattered that you would be willing to give this to me!"
That's how it's explained.
Tongtian regained his composure and spoke solemnly and earnestly to Lin Tian.
"This humble Daoist does indeed enjoy drinking tea, but it would be impolite not to reciprocate. How could I accept your tea for nothing?"
"What's more, it's tea that you brewed yourself!"
"I cannot accept this for free!"
As he said this, he fumbled in his sleeve for a moment.
Then she took out a golden hairpin.
Once it appears.
A golden gleam then appeared on the hairpin.
However, due to the extremely dense spiritual energy in the surrounding area, coupled with the presence of a special magic array in the courtyard, the area was not suitable for use.
The golden light flashed and disappeared in an instant.
It dimmed in the blink of an eye.
Seemingly sensing this anomaly, a fleeting look of surprise crossed Tongtian's eyes.
However, he did not say anything.
First, she placed the golden hairpin on the stone platform in front of her.
Then he spoke to Lin Tian.
"Fellow Daoist, this hairpin is something I always keep with me, so I'm giving it to you."
The moment Tongtian took this item out.
Zhao Gongming, the Three Xiaos, and the others, who were sitting cross-legged to one side, were all slightly taken aback.
A look of surprise flashed in each of their eyes.
'Master truly lives up to his name; he's incredibly generous.'
'That's the Golden Phoenix Hairpin. Once unleashed, it can harness the Sage to kill without leaving a trace.'
'Master actually used it to exchange for a packet of tea?'
'However, the effects of that tea are truly astonishing. If it could be brewed and given to all the Jie Sect Disciple, their cultivation levels would undoubtedly rise to a higher level.'
"Presumably, Master considered this level..."
Three Xiaos and Wen Zhong were somewhat shocked.
But knowing the effects of the tea, exchanging it this way would definitely not be a loss.
However, a strange light flashed in Zhao Gongming's eyes.
He probed his mind into his Sumeru Bag and immediately noticed that the packet of tea was still inside.
That packet of tea was given to him by his senior.
However, after obtaining the tea, many unexpected things happened.
He put the matter aside and didn't even have a chance to try it.
Now I see my master actually exchanging a Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure for a packet of tea...
Could he perhaps discuss this with his master?
He could trade this packet of tea with his master for a Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure?
"Cough cough cough, I think I'm overthinking it."
'If my master finds out I have a packet of tea, it will probably be confiscated without compensation.'
'We mustn't let a single word of this slip out...'
Just as Zhao Gongming's thought settled...
The moment Lin Tian's voice came.
This immediately chilled Zhao Gongming's heart.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so polite. It's just a packet of tea. I also gave Gongming a packet of tea back then."
"It's just a means of communication, and besides, it's nothing valuable."
You don't need to do that.
Zhao Gongming: "..."
Tongtian was slightly surprised and said, "Oh? I didn't know that; that kid never told me."
Zhao Gongming quickly replied, "Uncle, haven't you been too busy lately?"
"The tea bags will have to wait for now."
"However, that tea bag was obtained by my nephew in exchange for a divine pearl."
Zhao Gongming's implication was quite clear.
He obtained it by exchanging it for Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
It cannot be confiscated.
Tongtian ignored him and instead spoke politely to Lin Tian.
"Fellow Daoist, please don't be so polite!"
"Give and take, that is friendship. Since we are fellow Daoists, I naturally must observe proper etiquette!"
"Fellow Daoist, you must accept this hairpin."
Seeing his stubbornness, Lin Tian nodded.
He glanced casually at the Golden Phoenix Hairpin, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
The hairpin was about three inches long.
Although it appears to be an item for a daughter.
But its head is inlaid with red gemstones, and a phoenix stands on top, majestic and imposing, giving it the air of a phoenix descending to the heavens!
The inlaid gemstones resembled a crown atop a phoenix's head.
It is imposing and its craftsmanship is extremely precise.
It was as if a phoenix had truly materialized at the tip of this hairpin!
The sharpest part of the hairpin is at the end.
Like golden needles, it faintly exudes a chilling killing intent.
'This is a normal object, at least it's made of gold...'
'Its sharp tail makes it suitable for crafting into concealed weapons, so it's not entirely useless.'
'When it comes to gift-giving, the elders are far more Gao Ming than Gongming and his generation!'
'At least I wouldn't refuse something like this.'
That's what I was thinking.
Lin Tian said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll accept the things."
Here, have a tea bag.
Lin Tian waved his hand casually.
Lin Tian then summoned six packets of tea from his System Space.
It landed steadily in front of Tongtian.
"I have plenty of these tea bags here; these six tea bags are just a small token of my appreciation."
"After returning home, soak it in normal spring water, and it will be safe to drink naturally."
Tongtian looked at the tea bag in front of him, a look of joy flashing in his eyes.
Tea is delicious, and it can also enhance spiritual energy and heal old wounds.
He originally intended to take it back for the people of the Interception Sect to drink.
I was worried that it might not be enough.
Now we have these six packets of tea.
Furthermore, he bestowed upon it the power of his Sage laws.
That's enough for the people of the Interception Sect.
Thinking about this...
Tongtian immediately clasped his hands in thanks.
I put the tea bag away.
Before he could say anything...
Lin Tian pointed to the divine stone and said.
"You may take that stone with you, fellow Daoist."
"It's just getting in the way here."
Upon hearing this, Tongtian was immediately taken aback.
Judging from Lin Tian's expression, this divine stone was dispensable.
But he has just figured it out.
You must be sincere.
After all, Lin Tian had already helped them a lot.
Thinking about this...
Tongtian immediately became serious.
"Fellow Daoist."
"A tea bag is a tea bag, and consciousness is consciousness."
"That divine stone is of utmost importance to me."
"If you were to give it directly to me, I would suffer the consequences of karma!"
"This is no ordinary item; it should not be underestimated."
"Although I want it, I cannot take it for free!"
"I have already made an agreement with you, fellow Daoist, that I will exchange this item for something else."
"Please don't refuse, senior."
Hearing his words.
Lin Tian was immediately helpless.
Are you unable to give things away even if you offer them for free?
These Interception Sect, what kind of blockheads are they!?
Were they rushing to give me something?
Just as Lin Tian was feeling quite speechless.
Tongtian remained silent.
With a casual wave of his hand.
He took out a small, emerald-green sword from his waist.
The small sword is at most four feet long.
It had a bright green hilt, obscuring its actual appearance.
But one can tell from the sword sheath alone, which is engraved with mysterious and profound patterns and talismans.
This sword has a distinctly ancient feel to it.
After.
Tongtian showed no sign of stopping.
Then, she took off a necklace from her neck.
That necklace was even more peculiar.
The overall shape resembles a longevity lock, and the lock body is golden yellow.
Strange inscriptions are engraved on both sides of it.
Mysterious runes and Daoist characters are engraved on the front and back.
There are three white jade chains beneath the lock.
This guy is definitely not simple!
After it is fully prepared.
Only then did he place it on the stone platform in front of him.
"Fellow Daoist, I don't have much of value. These two items are simply things I carry with me."
"I'm thinking of exchanging my divine stone with yours, fellow Daoist. What do you think?"
After Tongtian finished speaking...
Lin Tian showed no reaction yet.
Zhao Gongming, the Three Xiaos, Wen Zhong, who were sitting cross-legged to one side, all stared wide-eyed.
A look of horror flashed in his eyes!
"Isn't that Master's Qingping Sword and Heart-Piercing Lock?"
"Master actually gave even these two personal magical treasures to Senior!"
"The Qingping Sword was formed from the leaves of the Thirty-Six-Grade Creation Green Lotus, and was my master's magic weapon for proving his Dao. It is an innate spiritual sword containing extremely strong baleful energy; a single strike can shatter heaven and earth."
"It's an unparalleled, top- Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure! A rare and exceptional magical artifact in the Primordial World!"
"Then the Heart-Piercing Lock will become even more powerful; once activated, its three white jade chains will release nine black jade chains."
"It causes the three flowers on the top of the head of the victim to be extinguished, the five vital energies in the chest to be dissipated, and the three souls, seven spirits, and five internal organs to be firmly locked and unable to move!"
"It inflicts extreme pain upon those struck, leaving them unable to live or die, completely at the mercy of the attacker. It is the ultimate treasure for capturing and ambushing."
"Incredibly powerful! Even Master was willing to sacrifice it!"
"This is enough to prove that the value of the senior's divine stone is definitely no less than that of these two Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!"
Each of the five individuals heard their own inner thoughts echoing within their consciousness.
It was Zhao Gongming who initiated the communication between their primordial spirits and divine senses.
"It seems I was mistaken; your divine stone possesses far greater potential and power!"
"Master must have seen the power contained within the divine stone, which is why he exchanged it for two Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!"
"I reckon in Master's eyes, the value of these two top-grade innate spiritual items might not even compare to the divine stone that you possess, senior."
Zhao Gongming's astonished voice echoed throughout their spiritual realm.
Both Three Xiaos and Wen Zhong were extremely surprised.
As they exchanged thoughts...
Lin Tian also noticed these two unusual-looking objects.
He said, slightly surprised.
"Fellow Daoist, your politeness puts me in a difficult position!"
He was just going to throw a broken rock.
The reward for writing in the Great Dao Diary is a useless model.
He didn't care at all.
It's no use keeping it in his hands.
If nobody wants it, he might just throw it away!
After all, it was obtained for free.
Therefore, Lin Tian didn't care about any items given to him by the system.
This is something that isn't very valuable to begin with.
Today, however, I received a gold hairpin, an ancient sword, and a necklace that looked quite imposing.
This left Lin Tian somewhat helpless.
I feel like I've hit the jackpot!
The other family was already struggling financially.
The other party probably went all out on these three items.
Lin Tian was not very willing to accept it.
But seeing how serious the other person was...
I reckon even if he refuses, he can't win against the other party.
He sighed helplessly.
'Since they gave me three things, it's really stingy of me to only give them a model of the Great Wall and a few packets of tea...'
After thinking for a moment, Lin Tian immediately spoke.
"Fellow Daoist, as the saying goes, it is impolite not to reciprocate. You gave me two items, and I happen to have two models here as well."
"There's no difference between the two, so I'll give them both to you."
Lin Tian's words were a very ordinary statement.
This startled Tongtian.
He seemed somewhat incredulous, his tone one of astonishment.
"Fellow Daoist, are you saying you still have divine stones like these!?"
