Chapter 884: Chapter 884: The Rare Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea, Brother Flathead’s Sudden Enlightenment Chapter 884: Chapter 884: The Rare Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea, Brother Flathead’s Sudden Enlightenment “Is this really Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea?”
The Destiny Empress and Rushu Tiansheng were both dumbfounded, feeling that the Enlightenment Tea on the tea table in front of them had suddenly become unappealing.
Enlightenment Teas are divided into three grades.
Jade Enlightenment Tea, Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea, and Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea.
Within the Three Thousand Realms, all Enlightenment Teas are of the Jade grade, which, as the name suggests, each leaf resembles jade—crystal clear and containing a trace of the Great Dao’s breath.
After brewing, the tea possesses the effect of enhancing one’s enlightenment.
Of course, Jade Enlightenment Tea only offers a weak permanent enhancement to enlightenment; its main effect is to temporarily improve it.
Therefore, one must drink it over a long period for it to have a significant effect.
And Jade Enlightenment Tea is just the most common one.
As for Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea and Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea, they exist only in legends; even peak powerhouses like the Thunder Emperor, Tyrant Emperor, Spirit Venerable, Sword God, and Saintly Venerable have never seen them with their own eyes.
The preciousness of Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea, of the same grade, is more than ten times that of Jade Enlightenment Tea!
Therefore, the Destiny Empress was exceptionally envious.
“How could the mere Misty Sect possess Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves? Moreover, they’re so fresh, they must have been picked recently. Could it be that they were brought back from the Holy Spirit Sect?”
The Destiny Empress was utterly baffled.
After pondering for a moment, Rushu Tiansheng said, “The Enlightenment Tea Tree in the Holy Spirit Sect is of the Jade grade, right?”
“It is Jade Enlightenment Tea indeed, but it has entered the mature stage; perhaps, the Spirit Venerable paid a huge price to promote it to a Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree.”
The Destiny Empress speculated.
Ancient records say that the Enlightenment Tea Trees can undergo transformation.
With special cultivation conditions, along with numerous metamorphoses, a Jade Enlightenment Tea Tree can be promoted to a Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree—which is a very difficult upgrade of the bloodline.
As for the Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, it can also transform.
The ancient records mention that a Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree that has gone through the Metamorphosis Period and reached the Peak Stage has a ten percent chance of transforming into a Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree.
Afterward, with each Metamorphosis Period, the probability of transformation increases by ten percent.
This means one thing.
After ten Metamorphosis Periods, that is, after one hundred thousand years, a Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree will inevitably become a Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea.
However, the Human Race has risen to prominence for only a million years.
In such a short span of time, Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea and Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea have remained mere legends.
Still, ancient books do record their existence.
According to legend.
During that glorious history before the disappearance of the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables, there were Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouses who attended the tea ceremonies of the Heavenly Venerables.
At those ceremonies, there were both Seven-Colored and Nine-Colored Enlightenment Teas.
After the ceremonies, the several dozen Heavenly Emperors who attended later became the first batch of beings to reach the Saint Realm in the history of the Human Race.
However, these are just legends.
Whether they are true or false, no one can verify.
“The Spirit Venerable is known as the number one in enlightenment throughout the Three Thousand Great Worlds; perhaps it is indeed possible that within these ten thousand years, he managed to transform their Holy Spirit Sect’s Jade Enlightenment Tea Tree into a Seven-Colored one.”
Rushu Tiansheng murmured softly. “Perhaps, that very Enlightenment Tea Tree has already reached the Peak Stage?”
Upon hearing these words, the Destiny Empress’s gaze sharpened.
“What you say makes sense; any Jade Enlightenment Tea Tree that can survive the Metamorphosis Period could become a Peak Stage tree, and it seems that all Peak Stage Enlightenment Tea Trees are Seven-Colored.”
She whispered to herself.
At this moment, Rushu Tiansheng looked towards the bronze mirror, watching the teapot continuously emitting a seven-colored halo, filled with envy.
“This must be tea given by the Spirit Venerable,” the Destiny Empress said with certainty.
“I really want to go over and snatch it to drink,” Rushu Tiansheng said through gritted teeth.
“Alas, Ye Feng has grown too quickly, his strength too formidable; unless the Saintly Venerable is revived, we are destined to have no hope,” the Destiny Empress sighed.
“Let’s just wait,” Rushu Tiansheng sighed as well.
“Disgusting! I can’t watch this anymore.” Frustrated, the Destiny Empress turned off the bronze mirror, her appetite gone as she glanced at the mature Peak Stage Jade Enlightenment Tea on the table.
…
Misty Sect, Sect Main Plaza.
Ye Feng continued brewing tea.
Although this was only a Growing Stage Enlightenment Tea, its grade had reached Seven-Colored, not inferior to a Mature Stage Jade Enlightenment Tea.
The fragrance of the tea permeated the air.
Many people, just by smelling it, felt an ethereal sensation, as if they could ascend to immortality in broad daylight.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the tea is ready,” announced Ye Feng.
Looking at the teapot, he lightly tapped with his finger.
Splash!
The light brown tea soared into the sky, accompanied by a seven-colored halo, instantly illuminating all of Shenzhou and dazzling countless people.
Ye Feng’s thoughts moved.
Countless teacups rose into the air, catching every drop of tea from the pot, amounting to three million cups.
On average, each teacup held only twenty milliliters.
Though the quantity was small, the quality was high.
Swoosh!
Teacups flew through the air and landed in front of each of the attending cultivators, who reached out and caught them.
On their seats.
Brother Flathead stood up, looking at the small teacup with such a meager amount of tea in it, his irritation showed as he slapped the table.
He wanted to drink a whole jar!
Just one cup, wasn’t that too little?
However, no one paid attention to Brother Flathead’s actions, as they all held their teacups, took a look at the tea inside, and noticed the steam rising from it in seven colors.
Taking in a single whiff could greatly enhance one’s intuitive understanding.
“Excellent tea!”
Commandery Prince Shu Qianjun took a light sip and immediately found his understanding increasing tenfold. Although it could only last for ten seconds, it was incredibly powerful, and he hastened to drink the entire cup in one go.
For a short time, his understanding increased tenfold. Based on the medicinal effect of this cup of tea, it was enough to last for the duration of half a stick of incense.
Commandery Prince Shu Qianjun hurriedly set down his teacup and began to contemplate.
Boom!
Before long, Commandery Prince Shu Qianjun broke through his realm and entered the seventh layer of the Divine Origin Realm, his eyes bright and piercing.
“How wonderful!”
Suddenly, he felt that he had no regrets in this life.
After exiting the state of temporarily enhanced understanding, he found that his intuitive understanding had been permanently increased by thirty percent, and he was overjoyed.
Others were also savoring their tea.
Enlightenment Tea brought significant improvement to one’s understanding.
Firstly, after drinking the tea, one would experience a temporary increase in understanding by several times or even ten times.
When the time was over, one’s understanding would then achieve a permanent increase.
As for how much one’s understanding increased, it varied from person to person.
Many cultivators relied on this cup of tea to break through their current realm on the spot or to master Divine Techniques that had been elusive to understand before.
“Excellent tea!”
The many Quasi-Saints present sighed inwardly that their journey was not in vain.
Just one cup of tea seemed to give them the benefit of several more years, or even decades, of cultivation, and many issues became clear to them all at once.
“The second cup of tea is ready.”
At this moment, the sound of Ye Feng rang out.
While everyone was digesting the first cup of tea, he had filled the teapot with Divine Pond Holy Water and boiled it with Dao Fire.
Each Enlightenment Tea Leaf could be brewed over ten times before its effectiveness greatly diminished.
Splash!
With a flick of Ye Feng’s fingers, everyone’s teacup was filled up to seventy percent.
They tasted it again, more carefully this time.
This time, no one spoke.
They were all savoring the Tea of Enlightenment, and taking the chance provided by the short-term enhancement of understanding to comprehend Divine Techniques or to tackle the bottleneck in their cultivation realms.
On their seats.
The disciples all achieved great breakthroughs.
In the Misty Sect, from the Sect Leader to the Registered Disciples, everyone could drink Enlightenment Tea with no distinction.
In their places.
Brother Flathead drank two cups of Enlightenment Tea and suddenly felt an epiphany coming on; he sat down cross-legged on the ground, his claws forming seals, and his eyes seemed to twinkle with a thousand stars.
This was an epiphany!
Ye Feng glanced at Brother Flathead, his eyebrows slightly raised.
“Could it be that Brother Flathead has had an epiphany about the Battle Method and is about to rage against the heavens and the earth and spew nonsense at the air?”
Ye Feng’s hand trembled slightly as he held his teacup.
But no matter what, the fact that Enlightenment Tea could bring peace to the usually fearless Brother Flathead was indeed surprising.
The Tea Gathering of Enlightenment continued.
