Ninth In the World

Di Jiu, who was a weakling at the Immortal Lord Realm, had killed three experts who had offended him in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, including the daughter of Sect Master Huang Yetian of the Thousand Maple Immortal Sect. The news spread across the entire Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City and many people visited Di Jiu’s place just to find out who he was and why he was so aggressive.

Therefore, the news about the opening of Di Jiu’s Starry Sky Tea House also spread across the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City in no time.

Everybody knew that Di Jiu was a grade-three Alchemy Master. Shouldn’t a grade-three Alchemy Master open an elixir dispensary? Why was he opening a Starry Sky Tea House?

The front of the tea house was packed with cultivators even before it had opened. A few cultivators even climbed onto the rooftop of another shop to watch the fun.

Everybody wanted to see what kind of immortal spirit tea shop that arrogant fellow was going to open.

“What else can the immortal spirit tea be? At best, it has richer Immortal Spirit Qi. I don’t believe that there is anything special about it. I don’t understand why this grade-three Alchemy Master would want to open an immortal spirit tea house!”

“He he… Would you dare open an elixir dispensary in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City if you were a grade-three Alchemy Master?”

“You’re right. Looks like there is something this fellow actually fears. I thought that he was fearless…”

“What is fearlessness really? He just did what you would not dare to do. People like you would gladly offer the right side of your face if someone slapped the left side.”

The doors were wide open and delicate tea leave shelves appeared in front of everyone. Every shelf was protected, and Little Tree waited next to the shelf in new clothes.

Even Mo Yuxuan had come to help out. She was there to be the cashier.

The delicate shelves were full of transparent jade boxes of varying sizes, and the number of tea leaves inside could be seen clearly.

However, everyone drew a breath of cold air when they saw the number of tea leaves in the boxes as well as the prices.

Someone laughed furiously. “How daring! Why don’t you just rob people?”

A small jade box which contained 10 leaves cost 10,000 freedom points, while buying an additional teacup cost 20,000 freedom points in total. The price of a jade box containing 100 tea leaves soared up to 100,000 freedom points, but a free teacup was offered. The especially refined Starry Sky teapot and four teacups cost 50,000 freedom points altogether.

Jie Huang chuckled. “We wouldn’t make this much money if we robbed people. Let me tell you something. We have limited tea leaves and sufficient stock for the first day. If you hesitate, I can’t guarantee that you will be able to buy it when you come again.”

“Director Jie, I really admire your general marketing director, Daoist Di Jiu, and I would like to support your business. However, your prices are way too absurd.” Some people who entered the store grumbled, although they were really there to support Di Jiu.

“It is not expensive at all.” Jie Huang kept waving his hand. However, he had no intention of lowering the prices.

“Can we try it then?” someone asked. After all, they realized that the immortal spirit tea here was different from the tea elsewhere. Other immortal spirit tea seemed to be refined using a variety of ingredients and one type of tea leaves, while the tea here seemed to only be made using tea leaves. The tea leaves still seemed to be complete even after they were made into the Starry Sky Tea.

“Let’s go, let’s go! We are done watching the fun. It’s time to go.” Most of the cultivators left after seeing the prices.

10,000 freedom points could buy many things in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, so not many cultivators would be stupid enough to spend it on 10 tea leaves.

“I want a box of 10 Starry Sky tea leaves.” Although 10,000 freedom points was a sky-high price for many typical cultivators, there were still some people who could afford it.

The person who wanted to purchase the Starry Sky Tea was a male cultivator who seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of the starry sky. He bought the tea because he saw the words outside the tea house.

As someone who had wandered in the starry sky for a long time, he knew that the words contained the aura of the Starry Sky Dao runes.

Little Tree handed a box of tea leaves to the male cultivator and said with a smile, “Our valuable guest, the effects will be better if you brew the tea using our teacup. Use only one tea leave each time.”

The male cultivator nodded. “In that case, give me a teacup.”

The onlooking cultivators shook their heads speechlessly, marveling at how the male cultivator had spent 20,000 freedom points in a split second. The cultivator who bought the tea had to be a top-notch Starry Sky cultivator who squandered his wealth.

Just as everyone thought that the cultivator was about to leave with the tea leaves, he opened the jade box that contained the tea leaves and took out the teacup. Then, he placed one tea leaf into the teacup, opened his palm, and a ball of boiling immortal spirit water jumped in space.

The male cultivator flipped his palm and the hot water landed in the cup…

A mild scent of the aura of the starry sky spread out. Everyone felt so rejuvenated that they could not help but focus their attention on that cup of Starry Sky Tea.

Everybody’s soul and spirit fused into this cup of Starry Sky Tea.

How was this a cup of tea? It was a world and a starry sky indeed.

They felt peace in the deepest part of their hearts in the starry sky. This peace was alive with an intense life-force that longed for great things…

Everything was enlivened and perfected by the tea. This was what they needed, and that was the world they needed.

The cultivator who brewed the tea opened his eyes and sipped the immortal spirit tea.

He breathed out for a long while. He had not experienced the same feeling ever since he had started wandering in the starry sky. The cooling Dao runes spread across his whole body and took his Dao heart to a whole new level. He felt desire, while his soul seemed to be cleansed.

He had not experienced such a feeling ever since he had started cultivating. Meanwhile, his state of mind was raised to a whole new level. The shackles of this cultivation, which he could not remove, broke down and the dirty aura that did not belong to him burst out of his body. As a result, his body felt increasingly relaxed.

“Good tea…” The man sighed and drank all the tea, including the tea leaves.

How could such good tea be so cheap? “Give me five more boxes that cost 100,000 freedom points each.”

Unfortunately, he only had 500,000 freedom points. Otherwise, he would definitely have bought more of this tea.
