With the help of first-rate Enlightenment Tea leaves, one can also enhance their comprehension of Sword Dao.
When Lu Changsheng was conversing with Lin Xuantong, Ye Wuxin suddenly experienced a sharp tremor in his body.
Lin Xuantong noticed Ye Wuxin’s abnormality: “What’s wrong?”
With a hoarse voice, Ye Wuxin said: “The guardians of the Three Lights Divine Spring, all their Longevity Lamps have been extinguished, they are all dead.”
“What happened?”
Lin Xuantong’s face instantly turned ashen, and his forehead bulged with blue veins.
It was rare for Lu Changsheng to see Lin Xuantong so enraged.
The Mount Taihua Sacred Land seemed to have suffered a grave loss, to the extent that Lin Xuantong was furious.
Ye Wuxin replied: “It is still unclear, but it’s presumed to be the work of Blood Sea Palace, who would dare target our Mount Taihua Sacred Land. They’ve also found the location of the Three Lights Divine Spring.”
“Three Lights Divine Spring?”
Lu Changsheng realized that his previous access was not high-level; there were still many secrets of Mount Taihua Sacred Land that Lu Changsheng did not know.
“You should know about the Three Lights Divine Water, right?”
“Indeed.”
Lu Changsheng was aware of the so-called Three Lights Divine Water, that is, the golden Sunlight Divine Water, the silver Moonlight Divine Water, and the purple Starlight Divine Water, which could cure all poisons in the world, mend flesh and bones, and even resurrect the dead.
Lu Changsheng had once used a single drop of Three Lights Divine Water to help his senior brother, Li Changye, recover from injuries.
Three Lights Divine Water is rated as one of the eighteen classes of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, serving as one of the spiritual waters in the world.
“Three Lights Divine Spring is a spiritual spring between heaven and earth; during the daytime, it absorbs essence from the sunlight, and during the night, it absorbs essences from moonlight and starlight. Over time, combining the essences of sun, moon, and stars, it can produce Three Lights Divine Water. Throughout the entire Immortal Realm, the known Three Lights Divine Springs are few in number. One of our ancestors of Mount Taihua accidentally found a clear pool containing some of the Three Lights Divine Water during his travels thirty million years ago. For this reason, our Mount Taihua Sacred Land dispatched several Wuying Hall masters under the guise of Loose Cultivators to establish a sect on-site and secretly protect the Three Lights Divine Spring as well as collect the Three Lights Divine Water.”
In a few words, Lin Xuantong clarified the causes and consequences of the incident.
The Three Lights Divine Spring can produce Three Lights Divine Water; although its value is not as high as the Mount Taihua’s treasure, the Enlightenment Tea Tree, it is nonetheless an important resource.
Finders keepers for ownerless property.
Mount Taihua Sacred Land discovered this Three Lights Divine Spring, and now the masters guarding the spring were killed, no wonder Lin Xuantong was furious.
“What should we do now?”
Ye Wuxin looked towards Lin Xuantong.
Wuying Hall is a force of Mount Taihua Sacred Land’s Ye Family, yet they only follow Lin Xuantong’s orders.
“If the Blood Sea Palace dares to kill people from our Mount Taihua Sacred Land, this grudge cannot go unavenged. However, this may also be a trap.”
Lin Xuantong paced back and forth, his brow furrowed tightly.
To him, this matter was out of the ordinary.
The Blood Sea Palace’s act of killing the guardians of the Three Lights Divine Spring might seem to be for seizing the Three Lights Divine Water, but the formation of Three Lights Divine Water takes a long time, and the Blood Sea Palace doesn’t look like they would guard the Three Lights Divine Spring for an extended period.
“Changsheng, what do you think?”
Lin Xuantong wanted to hear Lu Changsheng’s opinion.
Leading a Sacred Land is not just about assessing one’s cultivation level but also one’s strategic planning.
There are always people beyond us and heavens above the heavens; a person’s cultivation might not always suffice, but through strategy, some shortcomings of cultivation might be compensated for.
“Let your disciple think about it.”
Lu Changsheng secretly used the simulation function of the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, with the condition to take Lu Qinglian and head to the Three Lights Divine Spring to take revenge on the Blood Sea Palace.
[Ding, you are beginning the life simulation of your disciple “Lu Qinglian.”]
[Ding, available simulation attempts today -1.]
[Simulation begins:]
[Lu Qinglian follows the Mount Taihua Sacred Land’s team to the Cold Pool Forest.]
[Lu Qinglian encounters an ambush.]
[Lu Qinglian and you defeat the Blood Sea Palace masters lying in ambush, safely returning to Mount Taihua.]
[Five thousand years later, Lu Qinglian receives your Power-infusing Initiation, breaking through to the sixth layer of the Immortal Emperor Realm.]
[Simulation ends.]
Indeed, it’s a trap!
But from the simulation result of the system, it seems to be a close shave only?
The outcomes simulated by the system have never been wrong before; they are worth considering.
Lu Changsheng responds to Lin Xuantong: “According to your disciple, this is definitely a conspiracy by the Blood Sea Palace.”
“You’re that certain?”
“Yes. The Blood Sea Palace’s attack on the Three Lights Divine Spring seemingly aims to capture the Three Lights Divine Water. However, in reality, it is highly probable that it is a ruse to target your disciple. They want to kill your disciple to prevent me from growing and becoming a serious future threat to them. Your disciple has been hiding and cultivating in Mount Taihua all year, and they dare not easily break into Mount Taihua due to the Mountain Protection Array, so they must have devised this strategy to lure the snake out of its hole.”
“Your deduction is quite reasonable.”
Lin Xuantong revealed a satisfied expression.
His disciple was not only extremely talented, outshining the son of the Heavenly Emperor, but also outstanding in wisdom, truly inheriting Lin Xuantong’s legacy.
What Lin Xuantong took the most pride in was not his cultivation level but his intellect.
“Before you grow up, we still need to exercise restraint.”
Although Lin Xuantong was enraged, he quickly calmed his anger, eerily calm.
Even though many experts from the Mount Taihua Sacred Land had been killed by the Blood Sea Palace, they should focus on the bigger picture at this time.
As long as Lu Changsheng grows up, he alone could be worth a thousand masters.
“No, disciple does not see it this way.”
“What do you mean?”
Lu Changsheng’s words stunned both Lin Xuantong and Ye Wuxin.
Could it be that Lu Changsheng had other ideas?
“Since the Blood Sea Palace wants to ambush us, why not turn their own strategy against them and eliminate this group of Demon Chiefs in one fell swoop, leaving none alive.”
Lu Changsheng’s ruthless approach made Lin Xuantong and Ye Wuxin appreciate this junior even more.
In order to lead the Mount Taihua Sacred Land, sometimes ruthlessness is required; after all, the merciful cannot command an army.
“The difficulty lies in not knowing how many Demon Chiefs from the Blood Sea Palace are in the Cold Pool Forest…”
“The more experts we bring, the better.”
“You… really are prudent. Alright then.”
Lin Xuantong found that his disciple was ruthless yet stable and became more content with him. Thus, he decided to act according to Lu Changsheng’s plan, to bring as many experts from the Sacred Land as possible to eliminate this group of Demon Chiefs.
“Ye Wuxin, take the eight Supreme Elders from the Wuying Hall with you.”
“Yes.”
Ye Wuxin left.
“I will invite a few ancestors to discuss matters together. You go back and use the Enlightenment Tea to see if you can step into the Divine King Realm. If you become a ninth-rank Divine King, you can treat this as an opportunity for experience and to consolidate your realm.”
Lin Xuantong couldn’t give orders to ancestors at the level of the Sacred Land’s old Ancestors; it would take time to ask them to come out of seclusion.
“Disciple doesn’t think so.”
“What other plans do you have?”
“The Blood Sea Palace wants to kill the disciple, right? Then the disciple will undergo Tribulation right there, taking the Heavenly Tribulation with him and charging into the midst of the Demon Chiefs of the Blood Sea Palace.”
Ah?
Lin Xuantong was completely shocked.
Lu Changsheng actually wanted to use the Heavenly Tribulation to kill enemies!
This disciple was truly a madman, actually thinking about drawing the Demon Chiefs of the Blood Sea Palace into the Heavenly Tribulation.
The Heavenly Tribulation from the Immortal Emperor Realm to the Divine King Realm would bring forth the Great Dao Gold Thunder, immensely powerful. Once involved, even those in the Divine King Realm would be in danger.
“This is too dangerous for you. You are the future of our Mount Taihua Sacred Land. I cannot let you take such a risk.”
Lin Xuantong refused.
It was a good idea, but undergoing Tribulation is already challenging, not to mention the interference from the Demon Chiefs of the Blood Sea Palace, which would undoubtedly lower the success rate of the Tribulation.
All Lin Xuantong hoped for was that Lu Changsheng could smoothly break through to the Divine King Realm without any complications.
“Disciple is a hundred percent confident.”
Lu Changsheng, through system simulation, truly faced no danger, so it was worth a try.
The Blood Sea Palace wanted to trap him, he would return the favor, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
“Since you are confident, I will trust you.”
Lin Xuantong thought it over again and again, in light of the fact that Lu Changsheng was soon to lead the Mount Taihua Sacred Land and stand on his own, he couldn’t always intervene.
“In that case, disciple takes his leave.”
Lu Changsheng returned to Yuntai Peak, deciding to use a top-quality leaf of Enlightenment Tea first.
Lu Changsheng prepared a cup of clear water, opened the wooden box, and the fragrance of the tea overflowed, refreshing to the heart and spleen.
The top-quality Enlightenment Tea leaves lived up to their reputation.
Were it not for Lu Changsheng proving himself at the Heavenly Court Conference, he might not have been awarded the first-grade Enlightenment Tea leaves by the Sacred Land.
“Wait, I have the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator. I wonder if the system would return first-grade tea leaves if I just reward the ordinary Enlightenment Tea leaves?”
Lu Changsheng suddenly thought that he might be able to use the system to farm top-quality tea leaves; in this case, wouldn’t he then never lack first-grade Enlightenment Tea leaves?
