C2406 Lianxin Tea

It was just a cup of tea, yet he still needed to set up so many Zhou Zhang?!

Seeing the expressions of Forge and old man Qong, Lin Bai instantly understood the thoughts in the hearts of these two people. The reason why they set up this trap was because they wanted to test out Lin Bai's cultivation base. With Lin Bai's cultivation, he had no chance of winning against the Spirit Spring Sect. He would then decide which path to take in Pill King Valley.

"This teacup is really unique, it's really solid with the tray!" If he failed, Lin Bai would immediately discover that the reason he couldn't hold the cup of tea was just because it was the size of a child's fist. Aside from the fact that the cup and tray were made of a special material, he also had a smile on his face.

Since your Pill King Valley wants to test my strength, I'm afraid that if I don't teach you guys a lesson, you guys wouldn't try to steal my strength! Although his face was expressionless, in his heart, Lin Bai was laughing coldly. He felt that it was extremely laughable that the Medicine God Valley would use such methods to probe him. Since the Medicine God Valley wanted to bring about their own humiliation, why wouldn't he help them?

After he sighed with emotion, Lin Bai's expression did not change at all. He raised his hand again and slowly extended it towards the tray, as if he wanted to use his previous strength to lift the tray within the teacup.

Upon seeing Lin Bai's actions, a proud smile appeared on her face. In his opinion, if Lin Bai didn't use his full strength and instead used his previous strength to pick up the teacup, there would only be one result. It was the same as before, the teacup and tray were tightly stuck to each other, unable to be lifted at all.

He only felt that Lin Bai's actions were really too rash. He was just thinking that no matter what, Lin Bai was still a guest from afar, so it would be difficult to give him face. He was prepared to give a face to Ling Yu, to signal her not to make things difficult for Lin Bai, and to let him have a cup of tea.

But even though he thought this in his heart, the old man surnamed Qu already had a vague feeling that Lin Bai was beneath his notice. Even the Pill King Valley did not have the guts to test the waters. With this kind of mentality, what kind of situation would this be? For such a character, there was no need for the Medicine Valley to work with him. It would be best if they could think things over carefully before making any plans.

However, just as the old man surnamed Qong and the young woman were beginning to despise Lin Bai, as Lin Bai's finger slowly extended outwards, a violent aura suddenly swept through the entire arena like a giant invisible wave.

That aura was incomparably sharp, although it did not have much killing intent, but it still made it difficult for Old Man Qu and Forsythia. They only felt as if they were being pricked by needles, and their bodies and souls turned cold, as if the god of death was constantly approaching them.

Under this aura, even the proud and upright Liuyang who was holding onto the tray constantly surged with the mana in her body to resist this pressure, his body still could not help but bend a few degrees. Although he was standing, he was still shorter than Lin Bai by a head, as if he was kneeling in front of Lin Bai.

Clang! Just as Forge was being pressured by this powerful sword intent to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat and feeling that her actions were incomparably foolish, Lin Bai's fingertips just happened to touch the teacup.

The palm of flesh and the jade-like tea cup made contact with each other, and a sharp sound akin to the sound of metal clashing rang out. It was as if an invisible sharp sword had suddenly slashed down on the tea dregs.

The sword aura suddenly rushed into the teacup, directly asking for the teacup's soup. The tea leaves that were originally revolving in a strange rhythm, suddenly changed their trajectory, as if they had turned into sharp swords, and were evolving into the supreme way of the sword!

He should not have allowed her to do such a wild thing! Feeling the extreme pressure, although the old man surnamed Kuang wanted to dispel some of the pressure for Forou, so his disciple did not need to use such a humiliating posture as he knelt in front of Lin Bai, but unfortunately, under the berserk pressure, his mana seemed to have been completely frozen within his body, he could not release any of his energy to change everything that was happening in front of him.

Furthermore, this sword Qi was like a mountain, its berserk sharpness was practically able to penetrate through everything in the world, yet it was able to be bound by Lin Bai within the space of an inch. No matter how strong the Qi was, it did not damage the teacup, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, showing just how terrifying his cultivation was.

It had only been a short while since the small mountain auction had taken place, how could this person's cultivation base have made such astonishing progress? Not only that, at this moment, the old man's heart was filled with doubts.

Back then, when they were on Little Fang Mountain, he had witnessed the conflict between Lin Bai and the Spirit Spring Faction and Pill Cauldron Sect. However, as far as he could tell, the strength and aura that Lin Bai had displayed back then was far from what it was today.

Yet, in such a short period of time, his cultivation had increased by such a terrifying amount. This astonishing progress was a testament to how powerful Lin Bai's talent and luck was. Without either of these two factors, it was impossible for him to reach such heights.

Perhaps after the Valley Master's matter was settled, they would have to discuss it properly with him. Even if they ignored the sword cultivators from the Sword Pavilion, just the cultivation level and talent that Lin Bai displayed was enough for them to seriously consider where the Medicine God Valley should go from here.

"It's just a cup of tea, why would nephew need to be so courteous?" Right at this moment, Lin Bai's hand had already touched the teacup. Then, as if it were light, he gently lifted the teacup and finished it in one gulp.

The moment the soup entered his throat, it immediately turned into an icy chill. It was like a snake, possessing a strange spirituality that directly traveled down his throat and into his chest. That feeling was as though he had swallowed an icicle as droplets of cold sweat appeared on Lin Bai's forehead. In fact, even Lin Bai's face had turned slightly pale.

However, before the icy cold feeling could disappear, in an instant, an aura that was extremely hot like a raging fire appeared in the area of his Dantian. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped his entire body, causing Lin Bai to feel as if his entire body was on fire.

As the heat and cold alternated, Lin Bai felt that the mana in his body seemed to have gained a sliver of vitality as it circulated rapidly. In just a short moment, he clearly felt that the Fa Li in his body had increased by a sliver.

One had to know that ever since Lin Bai had stepped into the wrong realm, his cultivation had already encountered a bottleneck. Under the restraints of the world's fear, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven to increase the mana in his body. However, after consuming the Lotus Heart Tea, although he only had a sliver of Fa Li, it was enough to show how mystical it was.

As his Fa Li increased, Lin Bai discovered that his soul had also become a little more solid. Even his dao heart had become clear in the blink of an eye, as if it had already been washed clean of the dust that bound his mind. His entire body was unimaginably transparent and free of filth.

What a domineering tea. What exactly was this Lotus Heart Tea? How could it have such a magical effect? After the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the alternating cold and heat effect slowly dissipated. Lin Bai took a deep breath, unable to suppress the palpitations in his heart, an expression of admiration appeared on his face. He looked at the old man surnamed Qong and said: "Good tea, the Medicine God Valley's thousand years of heritage, is truly extraordinary!"

"Martial Nephew Forge, I have offended you just now. This kind of thing is not respectful at all. Just treat it as a greeting gift from me!" After sighing with emotion, Lin Bai did not wait for the old man surnamed Kuang to say anything. He gently lifted his hand and released the Innate True Origin. With a smile, he pulled up the still half-kneeling Formless Ink before him and casually handed over an item as he spoke indifferently.

After kneeling for a long time, she felt as if she had been granted an amnesty, as she recalled how overconfident she had been previously, her face flushed red from embarrassment, and she even felt a trace of hatred towards Lin Bai. Just as she was about to push away the item that Lin Bai had given her and reject his gesture of goodwill, her eyes suddenly bulged out the moment they touched the object in Lin Bai's hands.

He looked at the object in Lin Bai's hand in disbelief. He felt as if a fire was burning in his chest, and there was even an instinct that originated from the depths of his body, constantly urging him to take the object that Lin Bai was offering.

He had never thought that the token of goodwill that Lin Bai handed over would actually be a mid-grade spirit stone. Although the grade of these Spirit Stones should be lower middle grade, if they were to be placed in the hidden world, it would attract countless people to fight over them. It might even lead to a small scale battle.

"Dao Friend Lin, you can accept this kindness!" When he was at the small mountain of Fang Shan, he had wanted to buy spirit stones from Lin Bai more than once. Unfortunately, even Lin Bai had rejected him, but now, Lin Bai had actually casually given her a mid-grade low-grade spirit stone.

Receiving the spirit stone, Lian Qiuyu was wild with joy. The anger and discontent she originally had had completely vanished like smoke in thin air. She even wished she could give it a few more times so that she could obtain more spirit stones.

"Senior Qong, I wonder what kind of thing this Lotus Heart Tea is? How did it have such a miraculous effect?" After chuckling, Lin Bai slowly said.
