The glow of the Pixiu jade revolved, and the wooden door slowly opened, only because Lu Xun called out – “Master Uncle.”
“It turned out to be a wrong address.” Lu Xun thought in his heart.
He first peered inside the door, then turned his head and looked again in the direction of the hillside.
He could confirm that just when he called out “Master Uncle”, the master must have heard it.
Considering the master’s character, he probably… walked himself into a tight spot.
“But… it wasn’t me who wanted to open the door, it was the master who asked me to open it!” Lu Xun felt somewhat wronged.
The password just needed to include the word “Master Uncle”, only then would the other party recognize my identity as a disciple, I had no choice!
This tally should be placed on Master Uncle… oops, Master’s head!
It’s his old man’s wicked humor, it has nothing to do with my integrity!
The bastard probably guessed that there wouldn’t be anyone in the courtyard, so he turned around and bowed toward the master’s direction, muttering to himself, “Just a temporary solution, only a temporary solution…”
Then he heard the master “hmpf” once, and this matter was probably settled then.
Lu Xun thought in his heart, “I should have brought Mao Nanbei, and let this little girl who doesn’t know the heights of heaven call Master Uncle, and take the blame for me.”
It was only then that Lu Xun understood why the master couldn’t enter this courtyard.
It’s not that he couldn’t, but he didn’t want to.
Lu Xun guessed that if the master wanted to enter, he would either break down the door, causing the whole courtyard to turn into ashes, or he would have to call out – “Elder brother”!
Clearly, the master was very averse to this!
At this moment, Lu Xun thought the “Voice-Activated Door” was quite interesting. If he had a chance in the future, he would also make one.
He wouldn’t set up such a messy password, the password would only be two words – “Daddy”!
Men are strange creatures, they like similar titles, especially when they are called by women.
Likes dad, brother-in-law, master… and the like, are all very pleasing to men.
Lu Xun, standing at the door, looked inside one more time and then led Ji Li and Lin Chan inside.
Luckily, he could bring people in, he didn’t need the people around him to do another[Call Him Forth], otherwise, Ji Li could call the awkward “Great Master Uncle” and get in, but Little Chan, naturally a mute, would be troublesome.
“This setting is full of malice towards mutes.” Lu Xun muttered in his heart.
After the three of them entered, Lu Xun felt a slight breeze on his back for no reason.
He was about to turn around to look, but the wooden door had already closed, he couldn’t see the outside.
Outside the wooden door, the master, who had just turned into a gust of wind and planned to sneak past, was blocked outside again.
He looked up at the words “Great Study Hall” on the wooden plaque, and the words “Call Him Forth” floating on the two Pixiu, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
“Hmph!” The master flicked his sleeve with a shrug of his orchid finger, turned his back and no longer looked at the little courtyard.
— He was choked with exasperation.
…
…
In the small courtyard, Ji Li, seeing Lu Xun turn his head, was stunned for a moment by his handsome face, and then asked, “Lu Xun, what’s wrong?”
“Did you just feel a gust of clear breeze?” Lu Xun asked.
Ji Li and Lin Chan nodded together.
Ji Li looked at Lu Xun and asked, “Is there a problem?”
“Nothing, maybe I’m just overthinking it.” After shaking his head, Lu Xun started to look at this small courtyard.
The place where Lu Xun and the others currently were was a little like a garden in the courtyard.
There were lawns, flowers, and ancient trees here.
However, everything was growing wildly, clearly without any human intervention.
Not far to the right, there was a stone table and stone chairs. On the stone table was a set of tea utensils, neatly arranged, and dust-free, it was obviously not ordinary.
And at this point in time and place, there was no one, but the tea set moved on its own!
—They started to brew tea!
This set of tea utensils was even sentient.
The feeling was like a junior family member visiting, with the senior family member personally brewing a pot of hot tea to entertain the juniors.
The stone table was still quiet, but three stone stools vibrated slightly, as if inviting the three to come and sit down.
“After sitting down, this stone stool shouldn’t continue to vibrate, right?” Lu Xun thought as he walked towards the stone stool.
As he approached, the stone stool immediately calmed down.
After the three of them sat down, they could smell the aroma of tea.
Just smelling this fragrance made people feel comfortable all over, with every pore opening up.
Lu Xun couldn’t help but threw a[Detection], and a bunch of question marks popped up.
But that didn’t matter, he still got useful information.
The question mark was a purple question mark, and next to the question mark at least was the level marked – [Superior].
This tea turned out to be a Superior Purple Level presence!?
The black teacups leisurely floated up by themselves, three of them, which were placed in front of the three.
The black teapot then floated up, not balanced, but slightly tilted as if an invisible hand was lifting the teapot.
The teapot first poured into Little Chan’s teacup, not much poured, about a quarter of a cup.
Then the teapot was poured into Ji Li’s cup, a little more than Lin Chan’s, but also limited.
Finally, the teapot was poured into Lu Xun’s cup, filling the black teacup directly.
“It really smells so good!” Lu Xun took a deep breath.
He looked at the three cups, and didn’t quite understand why the amount poured was different?
After the teapot finished pouring, it gently tapped on the stone table as if to say, “Drink up.”
After exchanging looks, Lu Xun led Ji Li and Lin Chan in raising their teacups and downed it all in one gulp.
The hot tea warmed their insides.
This warmth coursed through their bodies and rushed towards their Qi Sea!
At the same time, a prompt appeared in front of Lu Xun:
“Ding! You’ve gained 3 million experience points!”
The message made Lu Xun’s eyelid twitch!
One cup of tea, 3 million experience points!
Just how much Spiritual Power did this thing contain!?
Then, Lu Xun felt waves of Spiritual Energy fluctuations around him.
These fluctuations came from Ji Li and Lin Chan, who were now closing their eyes, focusing on absorbing the Spiritual Power within their bodies. Right before Lu Xun’s eyes…they broke through!
“My respects, Mentor,” Lu Xun realized, this tea was a welcome gift.
As Ji Li and Lin Chan would probably take some time to absorb, the teapot on the stone table turned slightly, directing its spout at Lu Xun, as if sizing him up.
It seemed puzzled, wondering why they had broken through and he hadn’t?
It didn’t think that the amount it had poured had been wrong. Usually, a fourth level cultivator wouldn’t need an entire cup to break through.
It had poured in accordance with the standards of a genius cultivator, unaware that it wouldn’t be enough.
So, the teapot filled up again, but this time it hesitated over the teacup, seemingly unsure about how much to pour.
If it poured too much, it feared that the abundant Spiritual Power might burst this man right in front of it!
After a moment of hesitation, it poured half a cup more into the teapot.
Lu Xun, observing this, understood what was happening.
“This welcome gift is actually supposed to help me break through a minor realm!”
“It saw that I didn’t break through, so it is pouring more tea.”
Lu Xun’s expression remained unchanged, he gave a slight bow to the teapot, then raised the teacup and downed it all at once.
Half a cup of tea gave him another 1.5 million experience points. The Spiritual Power of the hot tea changed entirely into numerical data on his panel.
As long as he didn’t select “Upgrade”, he wouldn’t break through.
This completely flabbergasted the teapot!
It poured half a cup again, disbelieving. Lu Xun bowed slightly and then drank it all once more, expression unchanging.
It was half-cup after half-cup after half-cup.
In the end, whether it was tired or just numb, the teapot began pouring full cups.
Lu Xun took it all in, drinking like a thirsty ox.
He was like a Chinese folk hero who pursued the sun every day! It is said that when he became thirsty, he drank up a whole river.
Lu Xun didn’t have such grand aspirations, he just planned to drain this teapot dry.
After a while, the breakthrough was completed by Ji Li and Lin Chan, and they slowly opened their eyes.
All they saw was the teapot pouring cup after cup for Lu Xun, while he mildly bowed and then downed it all at once.
His unflappable demeanor, as if drinking strong spirits, unaffected by a thousand cups, didn’t seem like he was drinking tea at all.
Ji Li was propping her cheek on her hand, completely entranced.
As for the teapot that was hanging in the air, it was completely numb.
It even started wondering if it should ask him to open his mouth wide, then stick the spout directly in and pour the tea straight down his throat!?
“Thirteenth cup,” Lu Xun kept count, a smile playing on his lips. He flicked his sleeve and drained the cup of hot tea.
By the 13th cup, he’d already gained 39 million experience points!
A massive sum like this was even more than he could earn toiling away outside Blooming City!
The teapot hovered in the air, continuously pouring tea into the cup, shaking it a bit to get the last few drops out.
And with that, it was completely dry.
Nothing more, not a single drop!
Lu Xun was slightly disappointed; he’d wanted even more.
“Well, one shouldn’t be too greedy,” Lu Xun thought to himself. With this lofty philosophical idea in mind, he polished off the 14th cup of hot tea.
42 million experience points added to his account. A series of numbers on his panel was beginning to dazzle!
Lu Xun already had close to 6 million experience points, after this addition, the total on his panel was nearing 48 million. If he could have just one more cup, he’d break the significant milestone of 50 million!
Lu Xun looked at the teapot, a bit hesitant.
“I wonder if there are any tea leaves left in this teapot?”
“If there are, should I open it up and swallow them?”
Facing Lu Xun’s gaze, the teapot trembled slightly.
For some reason, it felt a little fear towards the man in the black robe in front of it.
It floated backward and landed back on the stone table.
The moment it landed, the three teacups also flew up and landed upside down on the table, covers facing down.
This attitude was clear enough– Shut your mouth!
Seeing this, Lu Xun responded with a polite bow and then…
…burped loudly.
…
(PS: Thank you, Alliance Hierarch “Ai Ai”, for rewarding me with 100k points, it’s the sixth consecutive day. Is this what being kept feels like? Sniff, sniff, sniff!)
