Perfect World

Chapter 1735 - Tenth Person

The lord of a restricted region grew tea leaves?

Shi Hao lowered his head. The tea leaves in the cup were bright red, releasing brilliant radiance. It really was swimming about, scarlet multicolored light surging, to the extent where there were even wing fluttering sounds. They were too similar to true phoenixes, as if they were living creatures.

These were tea leaves. They really were extraordinary.

“I really don’t know just what kind of tea leaves these are… perhaps they are rare even in Immortal Domain.” He said with a light sigh.

A sweet fragrance wafted out, making one feel extremely refreshed, as if they were the most precious rare great medicine. The tea cleansed the body and spirit, a single breath of the aroma making one feel as if they entered a clear mind state. It was extremely shocking.

“Immortal Domain is vast and boundless, no lack of ancient tea trees, enough to brew true Dao Comprehension Teas. I merely borrowed leaves from an ordinary bitter tea tree, merely water it a bit each year.” The white-clothed man said with a smile.

Shi Hao stared blankly. He looked at the tea in this cup; this was just normal tea, not immortal tea?

He immediately realized what was going on. The value of this tea didn’t rest in the quality of the tea leaves, it was rather because the one who planted it was different that this tea was different.

Flowers and plants that were cared for by a true immortal, no matter how ordinary they were, in the end, they would become extraordinary!

Meanwhile, this lord of the restricted region was even more unimaginable. The bitter tea tree he planted, how could it be like the ordinary ancient tree of the mundane world? It was naturally extraordinary.

When Shi Hao looked at the tea again, he discovered that it had calmed down, the cup becoming still. Bright red leaves fell, extremely beautiful, but no longer so mysterious.

He took a sip. In that instant, a bitter taste spread through his mouth, even his tongue becoming numb. This type of taste was a bit hard to endure, completely different from the sweet fragrance it gave off.

Shi Hao opened his mouth, directly sucking in a breath of cold air. Even someone of his cultivation level ended up like this from the bitterness, one could imagine just how potent this tea was.

If it was an ordinary person, they might directly die from the bitterness.

It was because this tea leaf definitely had natural law force, or else how could it be like this? Even he felt like it was extremely uncomfortable, really wanting to spit it out.

“How is it?” The white-clothed person asked, voice carrying a bit of charm. His eyes were deep, face bright and handsome, complexion fine like jade. He really was good-looking.

“Bitter!” Shi Hao only had this word.

“And?” He asked.

What else was there? Shi Hao wanted to throw the teacup. Apart from bitterness, he really couldn’t taste anything. He didn’t have the nerve to say that it was extremely fragrant.

“Hm?” Suddenly, he was shocked.

All of a sudden, the bitterness and pain on his tongue disappeared, an extremely astringent feeling began to spread, as well as a bit of a sour feeling. This taste immediately dispersed, even making his entire being become a bit rigid.

“Too astringent!” He couldn’t help but say.

Then, the tart taste, starting from his tongue, began to spread into his soul, the feeling not all that good either, definitely not enjoyment.

Shi Hao was speechless. What was the restricted region lord’s intention? He actually brought out this type of crap tea when treating guests? It was bitter and astringent, difficult to swallow.

This wasn’t enjoying tea, this was suffering. He really wanted to spit it out.

However, this was a life restricted region. If he did that with the tea of a world-shocking figure, then it really would be too disrespectful, he couldn’t do something like that.

Only, this tea was just too different, right? It couldn’t be drunk at all. It couldn’t help one comprehend the dao, nor could it be used as a type of enjoyment, so what was its use?

“This type of tea, only nine individuals have drank it before, normal people can’t even drink a drop of it, because they do not have such great fortune.” The white-clothed male said with a light sigh.

He was so handsome, appearance not over thirty years. Even though he was male, there was a type of charm that was hard to describe. His eyes were deep, temperament extraordinary.

He was like a phoenix who overlooked all birds, extraordinary and transcendent, making all birds kneel in worship.

From the expression of that female dao child behind him, he could see that even though she might be an immortal, she still carried an expression of jealousy, eyes full of strange brilliance.

Shi Hao muttered inwardly. Fortunately, he was male as well, so this restricted region’s lord’s extraordinary appearance didn’t have much effect on him either.

One could imagine if there were other young ladies who came here, saw this type of individual, just what kind of faces they would show, perhaps expressing greater admiration than even this female dao child.

“Only nine people drank it before… just what kind of people were they?” Shi Hao asked.

“The first was naturally myself.” The white-clothed man laughed, teeth extremely white like a dazzling youngster, not like an imposing restricted region lord.

“The others?” Shi Hao asked.

“The others were all youngsters, Prides of Heaven from different times, the heaven warping figures of different ages.” The white-clothed male replied.

The Pride of Heaven of a generation, the most powerful young experts of different ages? Shi Hao was shocked.

“From the start of Immortal Ancient Great Era until its conclusion, there were eight youngsters who drank this tea. It truly is a pity.” The white-clothed youngster shook his head, feeling extremely disappointed and frustrated.

He turned around, looking towards the distance, as if he was trying to recall something. He was reminiscing, recalling the past, even more so feeling regret.

“What is a pity?” Shi Hao asked.

He could be considered someone who wasn’t scared to admit his ignorance, completely unaware, just directly asking like this. One had to understand that this was the lord of a restricted region. His power could oppress all under the heavens, command all sides.

“It is a pity that they all died.” The white-clothed male said.

Shi Hao was stunned, a bit stupefied. He looked at this person, unable to utter a single word. What was the meaning of this? After drinking this tea, they have died?

“Why… did they all die?” He couldn’t help but ask.

“Because they drank this cup, which is why they all died.” The white-clothed man said with a gentle smile.

Shi Hao was extremely speechless. If he was someone with an explosive temper, he might have cursed out. What shoddy tea was this? It wanted to harm him to death just like that?

“I must ask senior to explain clearly to me!” He said. It was because he believed that if the lord of the restricted region wanted him dead, it was extremely easy. Why was there a need to expend such a great deal of effort?

“After they drank this tea, they all earnestly cultivated. In the end, they all took that path, yet due to some reason, they all died.” The white-clothed man sighed.

He became even more disappointed and frustrated, his eyes reflecting the heavens, scenes of the great cosmos being torn apart. There were even terrifying scenes of the stars in the sky all exploding, absolutely horrifying!

He wasn’t trying to harm Shi Hao, or else the consequences would be unimaginable.

Right now, the sky dome was cracking apart, starry seas appearing, rising and falling. There were some stars that moved as his eyes swirled with radiance, even starting to break apart, being destroyed.

Shi Hao was shocked. It wasn’t that he didn’t know the power of the lord of the restricted region, but now, when he took a hurried glance, saw this scene, he still felt incredibly shook.

In the end, the white-clothed man’s eyes dimmed, the depths of his pupils no longer the scene of the ancient cosmos collapsing, but rather eight men and women who appeared.

They appeared one after another, as if they walked over from different segments of the river of time, now reflected in his eyes. Was this his recollection of the past?

“Drink the tea.” The white-clothed male said.

Shi Hao clenched his teeth, and then downed all of the remaining tea water in one gulp. This time, it was even more bitter and astringent, his entire mouth numb, already almost losing feeling.

Then, Shi Hao was stunned. It was because he discovered that a figure appeared right before him.

This was a man, his figure tall, a zhang in length. His hair was wild, build extremely robust, as if he was an iron tower, possessing tremendous strength.

“He is named Ao Gu, the first youngster I met. He came from Primal Chaos Clan, appeared at the start of Immortal Ancient. He dominated all of the younger generation under the heavens, never suffered a defeat.” The white-clothed male explained.

This youngster’s skin color was a light golden, radiance swirling about. He was clearly a body cultivator, sturdy to an alarming degree.

“I previously taught him the Dragon Wrestling Heavenly Art.” The white clothed male said.

When Shi Hao heard this, he was shaken. An ancient heavenly art, just from the name alone, he could tell that its power was definitely incredible.

“When he achieved immortality, became extremely powerful, he didn’t heed my warnings, taking that path ahead of time. In the end, he never returned, withering away.” The white-clothed man said with a sigh.

Shi Hao was shocked. After achieving immortality, when he became extremely strong… in the end, he still died?!

Then, when Shi Hao’s mouth became bitter, that youngster disappeared. A second figure appeared, a woman dressed in golden clothes. She was extremely beautiful, exceptionally alluring.

Moreover, when she looked towards the white-clothed man, the look in her eyes wasn’t like that of a master or senior at all, but rather one that couldn’t conceal her adoration at all.

The white-clothed man’s expression was bitter. When he saw this golden-clothed young lady, his expression became complicated, recalling the past, sighing to himself, even more so feeling endless regret.

“Her name is Jin Zhen, came from Immortal Domain’s Golden Crow Clan. Her aptitudes really were too great, I thought that her accomplishments would even exceed mine. Unfortunately, she still died.”

The white-clothed male felt grief. He reached out his hand, wishing to caress that golden-clothed young lady’s hair, but in the end, her figure scattered apart.

Then, a third figure appeared. This was a young man, his appearance rather delicate.

“He is named Ruo Feng, a rather delicate youngster. I previously taught him the Immortal Slaughter Technique.” The white-clothed man said.

Shi Hao couldn’t calm down anymore. Regardless of whether those people died or not, it was enough to prove one thing, that this restricted region lord was too extraordinary! He passed down a different great method to each person, all of them entirely different. He was completely a treasury of information!

Sure enough, as the white-clothed man introduced the others, they were all like this. He had taught all of them different great divine abilities.

…

When the final person appeared, Shi Hao was inwardly shaken. That was a woman, truly too beautiful. A green moon appeared behind her head, making her look aloof and otherworldly.

“Her name is Qing Yue, of the human race.”

“What, she is… Fairy Qing Yue?!” Shi Ho was extremely shocked.
