Chapter 89 Enlightenment Tea Tree
"Why is this water curtain still dark? What did Xiao Lanyue do? Could she have fallen asleep again?" The Crimson Moon Sect Master was somewhat worried.
"What's going on over there? Is there danger inside the tree hollow too?"
"If danger arises, Lan Yue can crush the jade tablet, and the water curtain will shatter directly." The Second Elder shook his head.
"This situation seems to be that after Lan Yue entered the tree hole, she was accidentally drawn into another space, or that the ancient tree has a shielding function that can shield our jade token."
He looked at the water curtain and frowned.
If Lan Yue were to be accidentally drawn into another dimension, it would be troublesome, because even if she crushed the jade tablet, she might not be able to be teleported out.
Hopefully, it's just a problem with that ancient tree; otherwise, we'll have to wait until the ruins open next time and have the other elders suppress their cultivation levels to go in and take a look.
"Elder Chi, when can we go in? I think they've been inside for quite a while now." The Qing Shi Sect elder was getting impatient.
He felt that the cave must be a magical entrance, and perhaps it contained something extraordinary. He couldn't let the people of the Southern Spirit Sect get there first!
"I already said that the second time the ruins are opened, we need to wait until the formation around the ruins is weak before we can find an opportunity to send people in." The Second Elder glanced at him.
"If you really want to go in, then just barge in."
The elder opposite blushed and fell silent.
"Hahaha, your Qing Shi Sect has finally met its match!" Elder Xuan Ye Sect laughed.
The elder of the Qing Shi Sect glared at him angrily.
…
After Lan Yue finished collecting the spiritual treasures of heaven and earth, the surrounding light became noticeably dimmer.
She walked forward cautiously, when suddenly another question came to mind.
"Where is Brother Spider? Has anyone seen Brother Spider?" Lan Yue had just followed the little spider here, but when she arrived, the little spider was nowhere to be found.
"I didn't sense the spider's presence," Yin Xue said.
System: "That monster should be kept outside. This cave entrance is actually an independent space within a tree. This space should restrict monsters from entering, otherwise all these spiritual treasures would have been eaten long ago."
Lan Yue's face lit up with joy: "Doesn't that mean that the giant spider doesn't know about these rare and precious things? It might still be happy even if I take all of these things away?"
System: "Very likely."
"In that case, I won't hold back. If we encounter any rare treasures later, let's grab them all and take them all, not letting a single one go!" Lan Yue was overjoyed.
Good deeds are indeed rewarded; she has gained so many wood-type spiritual treasures.
The system's voice said helplessly, "Do you think that all the spiritual treasures of heaven and earth are like cabbages, that you can just grab as many as you want? You've taken all the wood spirit energy that this ten-thousand-year-old spiritual tree has gathered. What spiritual treasures of heaven and earth are left?"
Lan Yue replied sheepishly, "That's true."
Even so, she did not give up, but continued walking along the path.
She had initially thought that the path might lead to the exit, or perhaps to some hidden master's secret techniques, or maybe to an old man with a ring who would pass on all his knowledge to her.
Unexpectedly, the light in front of me lit up again, and it was a soft white light.
Once they could see what was behind the white light, even the system fell silent.
Because there was a tea tree right across from us!
Inside the ancient tree, there was even a tea tree growing, and it was as white as jade, radiating a pure white halo.
Around the tea trees, wisps of Daoist energy, visible to the naked eye, flowed around the trees. Just by getting a little closer, one could feel the aura of the Great Dao.
"This is the Enlightenment Tea Tree!" Even though the system didn't speak, Lan Yue instantly guessed the origin of this tea tree.
She was confined to the morning study hall for three months, and when she was bored, she would often flip through the books next to her.
She came across an introduction to the Enlightenment Tea Tree in an untitled collection of miscellaneous books. It said that the Enlightenment Tea Tree contained the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, which could enlighten the mind and help people understand the great Dao.
However, these Enlightenment Tea Trees are generally not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. It is said that by the time the Central Holy Land was established, the Enlightenment Tea Trees had already disappeared.
I never expected it to appear inside this ancient tree. Although it looks quite young, it is the Enlightenment Tea Tree!
"Quickly, quickly, put it away!" The system's voice was even more anxious than before.
Even Lan Yue could sense the system's emotions.
"But it's growing inside the ancient spirit tree, how can I store it?"
The system was frantic: "It didn't actually grow inside the ancient spirit tree; it was just using the ancient spirit tree as a smokescreen to conceal its aura!"
"The Enlightenment Tea Tree is not tolerated by the new Heavenly Dao, and this is the only way it can protect itself! If we obtain the Enlightenment Tea Tree and give us some more time, we can completely settle down, take root in this world, and no longer be smuggling ourselves in!"
"Moreover, with the Enlightenment Tea Tree, your future advancements will be much easier, and inner demons will be nothing to you!"
"System, don't worry, I'll go ask right away," Lan Yue reassured the system in her mind.
system:"!!!!"
How could it not be anxious?
As a smuggled immigrant, he feared that one day he might be struck down by the Heavenly Dao, and then everything would be in vain!
Lan Yue, holding the silver snow cat, tentatively took two steps forward.
The Wudao tea tree still exudes a pure white halo, surrounded by a flowing Taoist aura.
Not sensing any rejection from the Enlightenment Tea Tree, she quietly took two more steps forward.
Still no response?
Take two more steps!
However, this time, she had only just taken a step when the Enlightenment Tea Tree over there burst into light, and a tea leaf suddenly flew over.
Lan Yue thought the tea tree was going to fight her, and the silver snow cat in her hand had turned into an ancient sword. Unexpectedly, the tea leaf fell directly in front of her, floated between her eyebrows for a while, and slowly landed in her hand.
Lan Yue: "???"
Is this Enlightenment Tea Tree so easy to negotiate with? They actually offered her a gift before she even got close.
She tentatively took a couple more steps, and another leaf flew from the Enlightenment Tea Tree, landing with a soft thud in her hand.
As Lan Yue walked away, this time the Enlightenment Tea leaves were thrown directly at her face, causing her face to sting painfully.
Feeling the pain on her face, Lan Yue finally understood that this was not because the Enlightenment Tea Tree had feelings for her.
Rather, the tea tree that had attained enlightenment thought she was a bandit and was trying to get rid of her.
I estimate that after she takes a few steps forward, the Enlightenment Tea Tree will make its move.
Lan Yue did not go any further, after all, the Enlightenment Tea Tree did not want to be discovered by the Heavenly Dao, and it had been very difficult for it to hide.
If she takes the tea trees out, wouldn't that be putting people in a difficult position?
"How about we just give up on this Enlightenment Tea Tree? It doesn't matter that we're smuggled in without proper identification; we can take our time."
Lan Yue suddenly spoke to the system in her mind.
The system paused for a moment, then said, "I have a way to seal the aura of the Enlightenment Tea Tree. As long as you take it out, the Heavenly Dao will definitely not find out."
"I will open the system space for you in advance, and you can plant the Enlightenment Tea Tree in the system space."
Lan Yue's eyes lit up: "I didn't expect you to have a system space! You should have said so earlier! If you had told me sooner, I wouldn't have had to go through all that trouble buying various storage bags in the early stages!"
The little system avatar in my mind rolled its eyes: "You wish! The system space requires you to accumulate a certain amount before you can open it. Even if I open it for you in advance, you're just buying it on credit."
Lan Yue suddenly felt uneasy: "You're not going to take away all the sunflower seeds I've saved up, are you?"
She hasn't used it during this time, not because she feels her cultivation level has risen too high, but because she wants to use it when the time comes.
Just imagining herself rushing from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the late stage, or even the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, makes her laugh out loud.
"Don't worry, it won't deduct all of it," the system kindly explained.
"That's good. System, you still have some conscience and know how to think of me." Lan Yue breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't deducted completely.
Even if she only kept a few, she would feel comforted!
At this moment, the system said quietly, "It won't all be deducted, because you don't have enough sunflower seeds accumulated right now, so it will deduct even more."
Lan Yue: "???"
