74: Enlightenment Mother Tea, the Law of Chaos!

The most pressing matter now is this enlightenment tea.

"Enlightenment Tea Leaf..."

A sharp light flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

His current Fusion of the Five Elements Laws is just missing a Crucial Connection. Once the Five Elements unite, transforming into the true Chaos Law, its power will surge dramatically, and he will no longer need to study five types of Laws, only needing to focus on cultivating the Chaos Law.

If he obtains this enlightenment tea, he might be able to find that crucial turning point.

"Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan, you really are a qualified Wealth-Delivering Boy."

...After dawn.

Lu Yuan did not disturb Gu Qingxue and went out alone.

Following the intelligence guidance, he first arrived at the Hundred Forging Workshop in the East of the City.

The Blacksmith Shop was dilapidated, filled with various scraps of broken copper and junk iron.

Lu Yuan spent one Low-Grade Spirit Stone and bought the Broken Sword that was tossed in the corner and used as fire tongs.

It felt heavy in his hand. Although the exterior was covered in rust, Lu Yuan could clearly sense the extremely sharp Geng Metal Essence Qi within.

He put away the Broken Sword.

Lu Yuan hurried non-stop, heading straight for the Listening Rain Pavilion.

It was not yet chen hour, the Teahouse had just opened, and there were few Customers.

Lu Yuan walked into the main hall and saw the moldy Tea Cake in the corner.

Lu Yuan called over one of the Shop Assistants.

"Customer, how may I help you?" The Shop Assistant was startled.

"I'll take this jar of Tea Cake."

Lu Yuan casually tossed out a Low-Grade Spirit Stone: "Keep the change."

The Shop Assistant stared at the Low-Grade Spirit Stone in his hand, his eyes nearly popping out.

Someone actually spent a Low-Grade Spirit Stone to buy a moldy, Rotten Tea Cake? Was this person an idiot?

"Alright! Customer, please take it!"

Fearing Lu Yuan would change his mind, the Shop Assistant quickly shoved the Tea Cake into Lu Yuan's hands, grinning from ear to ear.

Lu Yuan took the Tea Jar, not minding the mold spots on it at all, and immediately put it into his Storage Ring.

[Ding, Host has successfully Intercepted the Son of Destiny Xiao Fan's Purple Opportunity, one Enlightenment Tea Leaf, triggering a Thousandfold Critical Hit return of one Enlightenment Mother Tea, rewarding 1000 Destiny Points.]

[Enlightenment Mother Tea: Harvested from the legendary Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree Mother Plant. Every leaf contains the Imprint of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

After consumption, it allows one to forcibly enter a deep State of Enlightenment where Heaven and Man are One, increasing the speed of Law comprehension by a hundredfold. It is the Supreme Divine Item for comprehending Fusion Laws and Breaking Through Bottlenecks!]

"Thousandfold Critical Hit? Enlightenment Mother Tea?"

Lu Yuan was overjoyed.

This was far superior to the original Ordinary Enlightenment Tea Leaf.

With this Mother Tea, he could not only attempt to fuse the Five Elements Laws, but even the Law of Space had the potential to advance further!

"This harvest is immense."

Lu Yuan was in a great mood and turned to leave the Listening Rain Pavilion... Approximately Fifteen Minutes later.

A young man wearing a Black Robe and a Bamboo Hat rushed into the Listening Rain Pavilion.

It was Xiao Fan.

"Teacher, are you sure it's here?"

Xiao Fan looked around while asking in his mind.

"No mistake!"

Venerable Yao's voice rang out in his Sea of Consciousness, tinged with urgency. "This old man just sensed an extremely special Dao Rhyme Fluctuation, right here in this Teahouse! That is definitely a treasure that can aid your enlightenment!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan's spirit lifted.

Ever since he inexplicably walked around the Stone Gambling House yesterday without buying anything, and felt empty inside afterward, he placed extra importance on this Opportunity.

He found the Shop Assistant who was wiping the tables and urgently asked, "Waiter, do you have a jar of moldy, Aged Tea Cake here?"

"Moldy Tea Cake?"

The Shop Assistant was startled, then gave Xiao Fan a strange look.

"What's going on today? Everyone's coming here looking for Rotten Tea Cake?"

"There was one jar, but someone just bought it."

"What?"

Xiao Fan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, freezing in place. "Someone bought it? When?"

"Just now, less than Fifteen Minutes ago."

The Shop Assistant pointed toward the entrance. "That gentleman was very generous. He gave a Low-Grade Spirit Stone directly, took it, and left."

"I was too late..."

Xiao Fan's face was pale, his fists clenched tightly, his nails digging into his flesh without him feeling the pain.

It's like this again!

From the fire spirit pearl, to the Inexplicable Heart Palpitations yesterday, and now this Tea Cake... Every time, he felt the Opportunity was within reach, yet he was always just a little bit short, and someone else beat him to it.

"Teacher..." Xiao Fan's voice was full of bitterness and unwillingness.

In the Sea of Consciousness, Venerable Yao was also silent for a long time, finally letting out a deep sigh.

"Alas..."

"Fan'er, it seems... someone is targeting us."

Although Venerable Yao was a remnant soul, his intuition was extremely sharp.

One coincidence would be fine.

But for it to happen every time, this is definitely not normal!

That feeling was like an Invisible Giant Hand constantly hovering over them, Meticulously Calculating and snatching everything that originally belonged to them.

"Who exactly is it..."

Xiao Fan gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot. The sense of powerlessness, of being played like a puppet, almost drove him mad... Gu Residence Hall.

A wisp of extremely brilliant Silver-White Sword Intent was slowly drawn from Lu Yuan's fingertip. Then, with a flick of his finger, this wisp of Sword Intent submerged into a Spare Jade Pendant hanging on Gu Qingxue's waist.

"This is a strand of my Four Transformations Sword Law, sealed within. If the Gu Family faces a Catastrophe again in the future, crush this jade. Anyone below Void Refining can be instantly destroyed; even a Soul Transformation Perfection cultivator will die regretting it on the spot."

Gu Changsheng tremblingly accepted the Jade Pendant, his eyes filled with excitement and awe. How could this merely be a Jade Pendant? This was clearly the Gu Family's foundational heritage, capable of lasting for a thousand years!

Having finished all this, Lu Yuan no longer lingered. He took Gu Qingxue and transformed into a Streak of Light, disappearing into the horizon... Azure Cloud Sect, Longevity Peak.

Lu Yuan did not alert the other members of the Sect, heading straight back to his Secluded Immortal Cave.

He sat cross-legged on the Enlightenment Meditation Cushion. With a flip of his palm, a piece of Enlightenment Mother Tea, Interwoven with Dao Rhyme, appeared out of thin air.

Without any hesitation, Lu Yuan placed it in his mouth.

Boom!

The tea leaf melted instantly upon entering his mouth. Instead of flowing down his throat, it transformed into an extremely cool stream of Qi, rushing straight toward his crown.

In an instant.

Lu Yuan felt his Divine Soul shake, and the world before his eyes completely changed.

The stone walls, air, and dust visible to the naked eye all disappeared, replaced by a World of Laws woven from countless colorful lines.

"Is this the State of Enlightenment? Truly marvelous."

Lu Yuan immersed his mind in it, daring not to waste a single moment, and immediately activated the Great Five Elements Chaos Art.

The originally distinct Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Five Elements Laws within his body began to wildly circulate and collide, bolstered by the terrifying Medicinal Power of the Enlightenment Mother Tea.

The Law of Water, which was at the Third Transformation Early Stage, instantly reached Perfection.

Immediately afterward, all Five Elements Laws simultaneously vibrated, reaching the limit of Third Transformation Perfection.

"The Five Elements Generate Each Other, cycling endlessly, but the extreme of the Five Elements is Chaos!"

Lu Yuan understood this in his heart, and his powerful Divine Soul power forcibly kneaded the five Laws together.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Inside the Immortal Cave, Five-Colored Divine Light flashed alternately. Finally, the five colors began to merge, transforming into an indescribable gray, hazy color.

This color appeared murky, yet it seemed to encompass everything, containing the Primordial Aura from when Heaven and Earth first opened.
