16: I have a lot of enlightenment tea like this
Immortal Seeking Sect, Forbidden Ground in the back mountains.
Mysterious formations enveloped this area, preventing anyone from peering inside.
This place was where the Immortal Seeking Sect's successive Old Ancestors and Grand Elders entered seclusion.
After Sect Leader Mu Tiannan took the Medicinal Pills that Jiang Qingchen had given him from Wudao Peak, he did not return to Main Peak but instead went directly to this Forbidden Ground in the back mountains.
He stood at the entrance of the Forbidden Ground, his expression quite agitated, and respectfully bowed towards the inside.
"Disciple Sect Leader Mu Tiannan, the one hundred ninety-eighth Sect Master of the Immortal Seeking Sect, has come to pay respects to all Old Ancestors and Grand Elders!"
Soon, an aged voice came from within.
"Junior, there's no need for such courtesy. What important matter brings you here this time?"
Sect Leader Mu Tiannan replied.
"Replying to Grand Elder, this Disciple has come this time for a major matter concerning the entire Immortal Seeking Sect. Please allow me to enter and explain!"
After he finished speaking.
It seemed quiet inside for a moment, with countless Divine Thoughts rapidly communicating.
Before long, that voice sounded again.
"Granted!"
As the words fell.
Several formations flickered a few times, then various Restrictions were opened, revealing a path.
Seeing this, Sect Leader Mu Tiannan quickly entered, and the small path disappeared again, everything returning to tranquility.
Sect Leader Mu Tiannan arrived inside the Forbidden Ground.
His gaze surveyed the strange space before him.
This space was vast, with countless immortal mountains standing within it, the mountains verdant, immortal mist swirling, and Spiritual Qi dense, even better than the various Main Peaks of the Immortal Seeking Sect.
On those mountains, countless palaces were located on the peaks, these being the Cultivation grounds of the Immortal Seeking Sect's various Old Ancestors and Grand Elders.
Whoosh...
A streak of light rapidly approached from a distance and soon appeared before Sect Leader Mu Tiannan.
A green-robed Elder clearly came into view. If Jiang Qingchen were here, he would definitely recognize this person; it was precisely the Grand Elder who appeared at the Disciple Acceptance Ceremony.
Upon seeing the arrival, Sect Leader Mu Tiannan quickly bowed.
"Disciple Sect Leader Mu Tiannan greets Grand Elder Jiu!"
The green-robed Elder was none other than Grand Elder Jiu of the Immortal Seeking Sect, Situ Wenzong.
"Sect Master, there's no need for such courtesy!" Grand Elder Jiu nodded, indicating, and asked in confusion, "What has happened that requires you to enter this place?"
"Grand Elder Jiu, please look at what this is!" Sect Leader Mu Tiannan directly pulled out a piece of Enlightenment Tea leaf from his Storage Ring.
That's right, it was just a small piece!
Grand Elder Jiu's gaze fell upon it, and his brows initially furrowed.
"Hmm? Such a rich Dao Saint Rhyme."
He snatched that piece of Enlightenment Tea leaf, his eyes changing from surprise to shock, then he spoke with a trembling voice.
"This, this is Enlightenment Tea!"
"Oh my god!"
Finally, he cried out in alarm.
It was simply too shocking.
He was uncontrollably excited, completely losing all his usual solemnity.
"Sect Master, where did you get this Enlightenment Tea leaf from!"
Seeing Grand Elder Jiu's shocked expression, he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.
As if saying.
Didn't expect that, did you?
Hehe...
I was just as shocked back then!
However, he quickly regained his composure, his expression becoming serious, and he spoke faintly.
"This is why I came to see all the Old Ancestors!"
"I understand, follow me!" Grand Elder Jiu instantly understood.
He grabbed him and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the largest immortal mountain.
...
Inside the grand palace.
Sect Leader Mu Tiannan stood cautiously to the side, his heart pounding from the dozen terrifying auras around him.
After a long while.
Once everyone had arrived.
At the head seat was an old man in coarse robes with white hair, a withered physique, and a Face full of wrinkles.
Although his aura was terrifying, there was a faint Death Qi lingering about him.
He was the oldest Old Ancestor of the Immortal Seeking Sect, Mu Cangqiong.
He spoke in a hoarse voice, his breathing labored.
"Situ, gathering all of us here this time, has there been some major change in the Sect?"
Everyone looked at Grand Elder Jiu, wanting to know what had happened.
Grand Elder Jiu stepped out from the crowd and bowed to everyone.
"Great Ancestor, Second Ancestor, and all Old Ancestors, this time I have gathered everyone because there is indeed an important matter."
"However, it is a great piece of good news!"
Oh?
Everyone showed curiosity.
"Speak, what great good news is worth calling all of us here!" The old man in coarse robes nodded in response.
"All Old Ancestors, look, what is this!" Grand Elder Jiu didn't waste any more words and directly took out that piece of Enlightenment Tea, placing it before everyone.
Instantly.
Everyone's gaze was drawn to that piece of Enlightenment Tea, and the entire hall fell into dead silence.
Until a long time later.
A burst of brilliant light erupted from the old man in coarse robes' eyes, and he instantly appeared before Grand Elder Jiu, his gaze faintly carrying excitement.
"Enlightenment Tea!"
At the same time, others also gathered around, their eyes burning as they looked at that piece of Enlightenment Tea!
Everyone was uncontrollably excited.
But soon.
The old man in coarse robes showed helplessness.
"Alas... what a pity."
"Situ, although this Enlightenment Tea leaf is a rare treasure, this small piece alone is not very useful for so many of us!"
"This..." Grand Elder Jiu's expression froze, and he also realized, momentarily unsure what to say, his gaze helplessly falling on Sect Leader Mu Tiannan.
Indeed, this small piece of Enlightenment Tea leaf was truly not enough for them to share, and if they shared it, the efficacy would be lost.
Sect Leader Mu Tiannan shivered, he knew it was his time to show off.
"Cough cough, all Old Ancestors, actually, you don't need to worry."
"I still have a lot of Enlightenment Tea leaves like this!"
To avoid being criticized, Sect Leader Mu Tiannan directly anticipated and immediately pulled out a pound of Enlightenment Tea leaves.
He opened the lid, and a rich Dao aura instantly filled the entire hall, "Look, this is all Enlightenment Tea leaves inside!"
Those Old Ancestors who were about to scold him were instantly choked, and the words they wanted to say were swallowed back.
Some even glared at him resentfully.
You old trickster, would it kill you to take it out first before speaking?
Everyone's gaze fell entirely on the Enlightenment Tea leaves, overjoyed.
"Hahaha, this is great! With these Enlightenment Tea leaves, it shouldn't be a problem for us old fellows to Breakthrough!"
"That's right, I've never seen so much Enlightenment Tea before!"
"Sect Leader Mu Tiannan, you rascal, you're doing a good job as Sect Master!"
After their excitement, everyone began to ask Sect Leader Mu Tiannan where he got this item from.
Sect Leader Mu Tiannan naturally couldn't tell the truth.
He directly repeated what Jiang Qingchen had told him to these Old Ancestors.
Except he changed the protagonist to himself.
If Jiang Qingchen knew, he would definitely curse him for being shameless!
After listening, although the Old Ancestors felt it was a pity they couldn't obtain the Legacy, they were still satisfied.
The value of this Enlightenment Tea alone was immeasurable.
After the Old Ancestors finished asking, Sect Leader Mu Tiannan continued to speak, recounting the recent events the Sect had encountered.
It was roughly about being bullied by the other two Sects.
The Old Ancestors were indignant upon hearing this, stating that once they Breakthrough, they would take him to regain their Face.
However, Sect Leader Mu Tiannan expressed that he had other ideas.
He told these Old Ancestors to Breakthrough as quickly as possible, then continue to lie low and hide, waiting until the enemies could no longer hold back and attacked, then they would launch a surprise attack, trapping them like dogs in a closed door.
It would also provide a good reason to counterattack these Sects and annex them.
As soon as he voiced this idea, it received the approval of all the Elders.
Ruthless enough, shameless enough, they liked it.
