The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 653 - 224: The Broken Branch of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree (6k)
As time gradually passed, the surroundings remained still.
Xuanyuan Shuo showed a hint of embarrassment and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"I’ll do it!"
Upon seeing this, Second Grandpa rubbed his hands together and eagerly stepped forward.
Zhou Qing almost couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
How can each of them be so naive?
He recalled that when he faced the legacy left by the Old Peng King, he successfully opened the Five-Color Restriction after bowing three times with the help of "Daily Reflection".
Afterwards, No. 6 performed uniform incense-burning kneeling under the jujube trees that could provide temporary shelter in her forbidden zone, seeking guidance.
This world is vast and mystical; the higher their level, the more they can interact with certain things and believe in them with awe.
Thinking about this, Zhou Qing could understand them.
Just as Second Grandpa picked up the Great Demon Order, he suddenly realized something.
Regarding the matter of exterminating the Peng Emperor, he seemed to have done nothing.
This time, he was purely tagging along for the benefits.
Under Xuanyuan Shuo’s suspicious gaze, Second Grandpa could only laugh awkwardly and say, "Forget it, forget it, how can all the good things in this world be taken by the two of us? One must learn to be content."
With that, he threw the Great Demon Order to Xuanyuan Shuo.
After all, they were going to return inland next, and the matters here, including this Five-Color Restriction, had nothing to do with them anymore.
Xuanyuan Shuo felt unwilling and immediately put the entire coffin away.
"Such a highly respected master has fallen in my Holy Martial Dynasty, it’s a dereliction of duty on our part. I want to take him back and give him a good burial to show respect."
Xuanyuan Shuo said solemnly.
Second Grandpa could only acknowledge tacitly. After a brief search in the secret room, he took Zhou Qing out.
"Keep quiet, that old monkey is back!" Xuanyuan Shuo suddenly said.
Zhou Qing nodded, his gaze shifting to the four still unconscious Demon Kings.
Later, Second Grandpa and Xuanyuan Shuo would use their techniques to erase their related memories and implant some fictional ones, making everything untraceable.
The three of them meticulously searched the cave mansion once more, ensuring there were no missed items, then consolidated their findings and prepared to divide them equally.
Looking at the suddenly empty cave mansion and the two people bargaining by the side, Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, his gains were probably the greatest; he directly formed a thousand Spirit Seals, and was only two-thirds away from becoming a Third-level Array Master like Master Lin.
Additionally, he personally experienced the sensation when a Spirit Severing Realm expert made a move and incidentally swindled fifty Top-Grade Spirit Stones from two Demon Emperors.
Although the jade bed went to Xuanyuan Shuo, the golden Feather left by the Old Peng King was grabbed and put into his own Storage Bag.
Moreover, he would receive one-third of the jade slips containing Master Situ’s insights and the remaining items in the cave mansion as per their previous agreement.
As for Second Grandpa, just that Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng alone was enough to make his trip worthwhile.
"Hmm?" Soon, he noticed a potted plant placed at an excavated stone window.
However, the plant in the pot consisted only of a bare tree branch stuck in the soil, showing no sign of life, resembling a piece of dead wood.
Who would’ve thought the Peng Emperor was an enthusiast of life.
Still, it’s quite puzzling why someone would stick a piece of wood in a pot rather than plant flowers or grass.
Just as Zhou Qing was about to turn and leave to check on the progress of Second Grandpa and Xuanyuan Shuo’s distribution, the four-colored flower rooted in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly trembled violently.
Zhou Qing squinted his eyes instantly, a strong premonition surged in his mind, and he immediately turned to look at the potted plant.
For the first time, the four-colored flower reacted so strongly to something external.
Could it be that this pot hides some kind of mystery?
Without hesitation, Zhou Qing performed "Daily Reflection".
Soon, detailed information was fed back.
"Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree: This is a branch cut from the Immortal Divine Medicine—Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, which has been passed around for countless years, eventually being brought out by Situ Jiuyao from a relic by sheer luck."
"However, he didn’t recognize this item; he merely picked it up casually after obtaining the Five-Colored Array Disc. After Feng Xuanling killed him, he couldn’t retrieve related memories of this item and, out of curiosity, planted it here."
"Unfortunately, they didn’t know the conditions to successfully grow the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree are extremely harsh."
"But once grown successfully, cultivators only need to meditate beside it to enter a state of enlightenment, helping to break through bottlenecks, comprehend Cultivation Techniques, and even uncover the mysteries of the Laws of Heaven and Earth."
Reading the information, Zhou Qing’s palms involuntarily tightened and his heart pounded fiercely.
"Immortal Divine Medicine? Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree? Enlightenment? This this this..."
Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder, startling him.
"Calling you twice and no answer, what’s up?" Second Grandpa handed over a Storage Bag with a concerned look.
Before Zhou Qing could respond, Xuanyuan Shuo strode forward to the potted plant.
After a quick glance at the pot, he smiled and said, "I didn’t expect this to be a treasure, you’ve got a good eye, young man."
While he spoke, Xuanyuan Shuo reached out, pulled the stick out, and examined it carefully.
