91: Chapter 91 The important thing is that they came, and he came too.

Kunlun Main Hall.

Jiang Changge sat in the main seat and waved his hand, causing an ancient stone table to appear in the center of the hall.

The tea set was complete on the table, with one purple clay teapot and four white jade cups, all wreathed in Spiritual Qi, clearly not ordinary items.

"Sit."

Jiang Changge raised his chin, signaling Ancestor Zhou Huaixu to sit.

Ancestor Zhou Huaixu was flattered and hurriedly sat by the stone table, his back straight, hands placed properly on his knees, though his eyes couldn't help but look around the hall.

From the moment he stepped into this main hall, he felt its extraordinariness.

Every pillar and brick in the hall seemed to contain some kind of indescribable dao rhyme.

That dao rhyme was not carved by human hands, but nurtured by the passage of time and the heavens and earth, natural and impossible to replicate.

"Senior, this main hall..."

Ancestor Zhou Huaixu couldn't help but speak, but halfway through, he felt he was being too presumptuous and quickly shut his mouth.

Jiang Changge didn't mind, casually taking a green jade gourd from the System inventory. He pulled out the stopper, and a stream of clear, cold liquid poured from the gourd into the purple clay teapot.

The liquid was emerald green like jade, crystal clear, tracing a graceful arc in the air. When it fell into the teapot, it made a crisp ding-dong sound, like mountain spring water dripping onto stone, pleasant to the ear.

Ancestor Zhou Huaixu's gaze fell on the emerald liquid, and his pupils constricted slightly.

Although he didn't know what it was, the richness of vitality and purity of Spiritual Qi contained in the liquid made even him, a Peak of Tribulation Transcendence, feel a palpitation.

"Senior, what is this?"

"xuanqing liquid."

Jiang Changge replied casually, then took a handful of pale golden leaves from his sleeve and tossed them into the teapot.

Ancestor Zhou Huaixu's breathing suddenly quickened; these were top-grade Epiphany tea leaves!

Jiang Changge put the lid on the pot and tapped his fingertip gently on the pot's body. The xuanqing liquid inside boiled instantly, and a rich tea fragrance drifted from the spout, permeating the entire main hall.

The tea fragrance was fresh and elegant, with a faint, elusive sweetness. Just a gentle sniff made one's mind feel clear and their thoughts unblocked.

Ancestor Zhou Huaixu took a deep breath, feeling the tea fragrance rush into his limbs and bones along with his breath, and even the Spiritual Qi inside his body flowed more smoothly.

"Taste it."

Jiang Changge picked up the purple clay teapot and poured the tea into two white jade cups.

The tea was pale gold, clear and translucent, with fine, dense points of light floating in the tea soup, like a flowing galaxy, breathtakingly beautiful.

Ancestor Zhou Huaixu held the white jade cup with both hands. The cup wall was warm and smooth, the tea slightly hot, and he brought it to his lips to take a small sip.

The moment the tea entered his throat, his whole body trembled. An indescribable dao rhyme surged in from his throat, like a head-on infusion of wisdom, or like the morning bell and evening drum, booming in his mind.

Those cultivation bottlenecks that had troubled him for thousands of years, those profound truths of heaven and earth he had pondered bitterly but could not understand, now melted away like ice and snow, becoming suddenly clear one by one.

Ancestor Zhou Huaixu closed his eyes, holding the white jade cup with both hands, his whole being immersed in an unprecedented Epiphany.

Around him, dao rhyme faintly circulated, resonating with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the main hall, emitting a low humming sound.

Jiang Changge watched his uncultured appearance, shook his head with a light laugh, and then picked up his own teacup to take a gentle sip.

Epiphany tea paired with xuanqing liquid was indeed good; even though he drank it often, he felt he could never get enough.

As for what Ancestor Zhou Huaixu would realize after drinking it, that was up to him.

Jiang Changge leaned back in his chair, his gaze looking outside the hall.

Zhou Tianchen had already returned to his pavilion.

Lin Yanzhou had been cultivating diligently these days; although he had yet to enter the Qi Refinement Stage, his Foundation was already extremely solid.

As for Elder Ling Xu and the other few Tribulation Transcendence Elders, they each occupied an immortal peak, cultivating in seclusion, occasionally coming out to inspect the Sect, which was quite peaceful.

At this moment, Jiang Changge was considering whether to let Kunlun officially emerge, open the mountain gates, and accept disciples widely.

The hall quieted down, with only the curling tea fragrance and circulating dao rhyme.

——

Xihai City, Yunlai Inn.

In the Heaven Number One room, Lu Jinghan sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing long and steady.

Inside his body, the Time-Space Derivation Sutra circulated slowly, each cycle becoming more condensed and purer than the last.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes. In his pitch-black pupils, a silver-white light flashed and vanished.

Those two Time-Space imprints had movement.

Lu Jinghan did not rush to get up but instead extended his Divine Sense along the connection of the Time-Space imprints.

In the north of the city, Xiao Yuan's aura moved out from the Wangyue Pavilion, not fast, heading east.

In the east of the city, Bai Yue's aura swept out from a courtyard at almost the same time, heading west; the two were meeting up.

Lu Jinghan opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his face. He had waited for half a month, and finally, they were moving.

Subsequently, Lu Jinghan took Qin Muchuan and the two of them followed quickly.

The three of them had the Heaven Rank concealment Talisman bestowed by Jiang Changge, so even a Mahayana Cultivator could not perceive them, let alone Xiao Yuan and Bai Yue.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan and Bai Yue met at a quiet alley entrance in the east of the city. After meeting, they didn't say much, just exchanged a glance, then turned and swept towards the west of the city.

Lu Jinghan and the others followed far behind, always maintaining a distance of several miles.

Xiao Yuan walked in front, his pace unhurried, occasionally stopping suddenly to look back, his Divine Sense spreading to the surroundings like a tide.

Bai Yue always kept a position side-by-side with him, her eyes vigilantly scanning the buildings on both sides and the shadows.

"Xiao Yuan is indeed as cautious as ever," Lu Jinghan thought to himself.

In his past life, whether Xiao Yuan was traveling or exploring a Secret Realm, he would stop suddenly every so often, using his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings to confirm no one was following him.

This caution had saved his life countless times. Unfortunately, tonight he had encountered Lu Jinghan.

Xiao Yuan and Bai Yue's speed was neither fast nor slow, heading west all the way. Soon, they arrived at a desolate area of hills and low shrubs. In the distance, undulating mountain ranges loomed in the starlight.

Lu Jinghan's gaze landed on those mountain ranges, and his brows raised slightly. This direction was the direction of that Ancient Cave Abode.

He had a faint guess in his heart, but he didn't rush to a conclusion, just continued following those two Time-Space imprints forward.

A moment later, Xiao Yuan and Bai Yue in front suddenly stopped. Lu Jinghan raised his hand to signal the two behind him to stop, and carefully extended his Divine Sense to probe ahead.

Xiao Yuan and Bai Yue stopped at the foot of a desolate mountain. The two fumbled in the bushes for a moment, seemingly finding something, and then their figures flashed and disappeared on the hillside.

Lu Jinghan closed his eyes; the sensing of the Time-Space imprints told him that the two's auras were continuously descending, deep into the mountain's belly.

It really was that Ancient Cave Abode. Lu Jinghan opened his eyes, his gaze deep.

He hadn't expected that the goal of Xiao Yuan and Bai Yue's trip was actually this Ancient Cave Abode.

Lu Jinghan pondered secretly in his heart; regardless of where Xiao Yuan and Bai Yue got this information, it didn't matter anymore.

The important thing is, they have arrived, and he has arrived too.
