Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 23 The Profound Mysteries of Enlightenment Tea and the Three Pure Ones' Preaching

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. We have learned a great deal."

All the disciples of Shangqing bowed with their hands clasped, their faces flushed with heat, their blood still boiling.

There's no way around it, the eldest brother's three sword strikes defeated Guangchengzi of the Yuqing lineage, it was just too exhilarating.

"Go down and cultivate. Master's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the primordial world. Sooner or later, you will all be able to cultivate to the level of me."

Zhao Gongming casually remarked, and in no time, all the Shangqing disciples who had been watching dispersed.

Zhao Gongming looked at Duobao and the others and smiled slightly.

"You've been in seclusion for so long, have you gained anything? I've only just come out of seclusion myself. Why don't we find a good place to exchange ideas and improve our strength?"

"Great! Let's exchange some experiences; it's definitely better than working in isolation."

Duobao's face lit up with joy. He had just encountered some difficulties in swordsmanship and could not figure them out no matter how hard he tried.

Now is a good opportunity to ask my senior brother for advice.

I agree.

Jinling, Guiling, Wudang, and the Three Immortals all expressed their opinions.

"Where shall we go to discuss this matter? I'm really not familiar with Kunlun Mountain."

As soon as Zhao Gongming finished speaking, Jin Ling smiled slightly.

"I know a place with beautiful scenery and abundant spiritual energy, which is the perfect place for philosophical discussions and exchanges."

"Then hurry up and take us there!"

"it is good."

Jin Ling led Zhao Gongming and his group, flying over Kunlun Mountain.

Before long, they arrived at a very steep mountain peak.

We arrived at a huge mountain peak, which, from the outside, was full of strange rocks and craggy peaks.

But once inside the mountain, one finds lush greenery, exquisite beauty, and secluded valleys filled with orchids, which calms the mind considerably.

"What a wonderful place! It's the perfect spot for philosophical discussions."

Zhao Gongming took out several prayer cushions, and everyone sat down.

After sitting down, Zhao Gongming did not immediately engage in philosophical discussions.

Instead, he smiled slightly and took out an exquisite jade pot and several jade cups.

Duobao was somewhat puzzled. "Senior Brother, what is this?"

"I obtained some fine tea leaves in the wilderness. We are all fellow disciples, so let's have a taste together."

Zhao Gongming smiled slightly, and with a flick of his hand, several emerald green tea leaves fell into the jade pot.

Then, with a thought, a bright orange flame ignited beneath the jade pot.

Soon, a rich aroma of tea wafted over.

"What fragrant tea leaves."

"Brother Gongming, where did you get this tea? How come we didn't know about it?"

"What a wonderful fragrance! I feel that the speed at which my internal magical energy is circulating has increased significantly."

The aroma of the tea immediately caught everyone's attention.

They had drunk plenty of tea, but they had never smelled anything so fragrant.

My darling, this tea is an absolute treasure.

These tea leaves are naturally from the Enlightenment Tea Tree, a reward from the system after defeating Guang Chengzi.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree is of extremely high quality, ranking among the top-grade innate spiritual roots.

Similar to the Bodhi tree that grows on Mount Sumeru in the West, it can help people quickly enter a state of enlightenment.

It can be effective for cultivators below the level of a saint, including those at the Great Luo level and even those at the level of a quasi-saint.

As for a complete Enlightenment Tea Tree, even the Three Pure Ones would probably be tempted to seize it if they saw it.

After the water in the jade pot boiled, Zhao Gongming extinguished the flame, picked up the jade pot, and poured a cup for each of them.

"Everyone, try it and see how it tastes."

Zhao Gongming picked up the teacup, took a sip, and a rich aroma exploded in his mouth.

Then it transformed into a warm current and slowly flowed into my stomach.

Then, a refreshing aura rose from the Nigongwan.

Zhao Gongming was shaken, feeling as if his comprehension had been greatly enhanced.

Some obscure and incomprehensible parts of the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique suddenly became clear.

Even those aspects of the Heavenly Gang Divine Power that were unclear to him were put to the test, and he figured out how to apply them.

My comprehension has increased by about 50% in a short period of time compared to before.

Fifty percent—an extremely terrifying number. Originally, it would take ten thousand years to cultivate a single supernatural power.

However, after drinking the Enlightenment Tea Tree, the time required is greatly shortened, requiring only a few thousand years.

Such a divine object, if it were to fall into the primordial wilderness, would surely attract a large number of cultivators to fight over it.

Soon, Duobao and his seven companions also picked up their teacups and took a sip.

Before he even drank any tea, his eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed in admiration.

"Senior Brother, this tea, this tea is just too fragrant!"

This fragrance is not a cloying one, but a pure and refreshing scent that comes from the depths of one's heart.

Soon, the effects of the Enlightenment Tea became apparent, and a look of even greater shock than before flashed across everyone's faces.

This tea can actually increase one's comprehension, and by quite a bit.

No one dared to delay, and they lost all interest in idle chatter, immediately beginning to discuss the Dao.

For a time, the sound of discussions about Taoism echoed from inside the mountain.

Duobao's advantage lies in his superior cultivation level, which allows him to impart his cultivation experience to everyone.

Zhao Gongming, with his unparalleled swordsmanship, could also be used to guide Duobao and others.

As for the three immortals, they could only listen attentively and had no chance to interrupt.

And so, the group brewed tea while discussing and exchanging their insights on spiritual practice.

In the blink of an eye, another hundred years have passed.

Everyone gained a lot, especially Zhao Gongming, who was only one step away from the peak of the Golden Immortal realm and the Five Qi Converging at the Origin.

With the help of the Enlightenment Tea, Daoist Duobao has even figured out the sword intent quite well.

Jin Ling, Gui Ling, and Wu Dang have also made great progress in swordsmanship, and have touched the edge of sword intent.

As for the Three Immortals, they reaped the greatest rewards, breaking through from the late stage of the Profound Immortal realm to the peak of the Profound Immortal realm in one fell swoop.

Everyone had gained a lot and was preparing to discuss it further while the effects of the Enlightenment Tea were still wearing off.

Suddenly, the sound of golden bells rang in everyone's ears.

Everyone looked up and saw that the sound of the golden bell was coming from the direction of the Sanqing Hall.

"When the golden bell rings, something must have happened. Let's go to the Sanqing Hall and see what's going on."

"Yes, Senior Brother."

Led by Zhao Gongming, the group rushed to the Sanqing Hall.

At this time, many disciples had already arrived and were waiting in front of the Sanqing Hall.

"What happened? Why are they all gathered in the Sanqing Hall?"

Zhao Gongming randomly asked an outer disciple of the Shangqing Sect.

"Senior Brother, I heard from the disciples of the Yuqing lineage that it seems our Master and two other senior uncles are going to give a sermon."

"Oh, are our masters and senior disciples going to give a sermon?"

Zhao Gongming was overjoyed and quickly led Duobao and the others to take their seats, securing a good spot.

Not long after, three streaks of light flashed through the air and landed steadily in front of the Sanqing Hall.

It is none other than Taiqing Laozi, Yuqing Yuanshi, Shangqing Tongtian.

Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Zhao Gongming had already met.

But this was the first time Zhao Gongming had ever met Taiqing Laozi.

He wore a gray Taoist robe, his beard and hair were all white, and his face was covered with wrinkles, making him look very old.

Behind it, a faint light flowed, displaying black and white colors, yin and yang complementing and interacting with each other, evolving into the infinite mysteries of heaven and earth.
