Chapter 305: The Difficulty Is Absolutely Astronomical!
As he spoke, Lin Xuan arrived at the Ancestral Worship Square under the lead of Si Jinrou and the others.
The hundred thousand disciples of the Water Flower Valley were all present.
After bringing Lin Xuan to the high platform, Si Jinrou invited him to sit in the VIP seat and scanned the crowd.
“Today is Water Flower Valley’s Ancestral Worship Ceremony. Fortunately, the Consort has arrived and added to our sect’s glory!”
The moment she said this, everyone exclaimed.
!!
“So this young master in white is the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort. He’s really handsome!”
“As expected of Empress Mystic Ice’s husband. His looks and aura are peerless and admirable!”
“How handsome! The empress’ husband is so handsome that the sun and moon pale in comparison!”
…
Most of the disciples in the Water Flower Valley were young.
Seeing how handsome Lin Xuan was, they were extremely enamored.
However, they all knew that Lin Xuan was Donghuang Ziyou’s man, so they could only look up to him. He was definitely not someone they could get close to.
Therefore, the women only praised him sincerely and had no intention of seducing him.
Then, under Si Jinrou’s lead, everyone stood up and bowed to Lin Xuan.
“Greetings, Consort!”
Lin Xuan revealed a very easygoing smile and returned the greeting.
The disciples of the Water Flower Valley were extremely excited.
They didn’t expect to see such a stunning smile in their lifetimes.
After they greeted each other, the Ancestral Worship Ceremony officially began.
At this moment, the lively atmosphere instantly became solemn.
Lin Xuan looked over and saw that many disciples revealed serious expressions.
After Si Jinrou and the eight elders finished offering incense, she stood up and looked around.
“According to the sect’s rules, during every Ancestral Worship Ceremony, the sect master has to refine the best tea with the strongest cultivation power to prove to the entire sect that she has broken through to a new realm. Then, she can cultivate the cultivation technique left behind by the ancestor.”
“A hundred years ago, I refined the World’s End Fragrant Gra.s.s Tea and successfully reached the Earth Realm in the tea Dao. Today, I want to refine the Clear Moon Blooming Cereus Tea to break through to the Heaven Realm!”
Swish!
After she said this, everyone was shocked.
The Clear Moon Blooming Cereus Tea was one of the ten most difficult teas to refine in the world.
This tea required the spiritual spring of the Clear Moon Lake to be brewed. It was made from the leaves of One Night Epiphyllums.
The Clear Moon Lake was a spiritual spring that everyone in the Immeasurable Heaven knew about.
The most peculiar thing about it was that once the spring water left the Clear Moon Lake, it would dissipate at lightning speed.
If one wanted to preserve the Clear Moon Lake’s water, one had to seal it with spiritual power above the Supremacy Realm.
Furthermore, the One Night Epiphyllum was recognized as the flower with the shortest lifespan in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
From this flower blooming to withering, it took less than two hours.
Therefore, not only was the difficulty of plucking it extremely high, but it was also extremely difficult to preserve. It had to be sealed with spiritual power and couldn’t be exposed to any light or wind.
The difficulty in refining the Clear Moon Blooming Cereus Tea was, one had to remove the seal on the Clear Moon Lake and the One Night Epiphyllum and refine the tea before they dissipated.
It could be said that this difficulty was definitely astronomical!
Not only did it require the person who refined the tea to be extremely talented, but superb techniques, speed, and mindset were also indispensable!
However, although the Clear Moon Blooming Cereus Tea was difficult to make, the disciples of the Water Flower Valley felt that Si Jinrou was very likely to succeed.
This was because Si Jinrou was the most outstanding tea refinement master in the past twenty thousand years.
Ever since she was born, she had been extremely talented in tea Dao.
According to the rumors, she had been accidentally fed tea by her parents when she was a year old. From then on, the aroma of tea on her body had never disappeared.
As she grew up, her talent in tea cultivation became even more obvious, and she became a famous tea refinement expert.
Later on, in the tea compet.i.tion in the Immeasurable Heaven and even the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, she created miracles time and time again and became one of the top ten geniuses at the age of sixteen.
It was also because of her monstrous talent that she was recruited by the Water Flower Valley’s Sect Master at that time.
In less than two thousand years, she became the new Sect Master of the Water Flower Valley.
In the blink of an eye, twenty thousand years had pa.s.sed.
She had already grown from a prodigy at that time to a tea refinement master at the Earth Realm.
All the disciples of the Water Flower Valley believed that this time, Si Jinrou was fully prepared. She had high hopes of breaking through to the Heaven Realm in one go and becoming a grandmaster-level tea refiner!
“It’s starting!”
It was unknown which disciple shouted excitedly, but everyone’s gazes were focused on Si Jinrou.
With a wave of her fair hand, she chose hundreds of spiritual fruits and leaves from the bamboo basket that Lan Xin and the others had picked.
Then, she crushed these spiritual fruits with her spiritual power and turned the spiritual energy into flames to burn the spiritual leaves.
At the same time, a white jade cup with a few golden threads in the middle flew into the air from her sleeve.
With a wave of her fair hand, the spirit fruit juice and spirit leaves were thrown into the jade cup.
The most difficult part was next!
“Bring out the Clear Moon Lake water and the One Night Epiphyllum!”
As her voice fell, the elders who were prepared at the side used their spiritual energy to make a stream of Clear Moon Lake water and a One Night Epiphyllum fly in front of her.
Si Jinrou took a deep breath and circulated all the true essence in her body to transform into extremely powerful spiritual energy to undo the seal on the Clear Moon Lake and the One Night Epiphyllum.
Then, she quickly guided them into the jade cup.
Bang!
Everyone was excited to see that the Clear Moon Lake water and the One Night Epiphyllum didn’t disappear and landed steadily in the jade cup.
Then, Si Jinrou sealed the mouth of the jade cup with spiritual energy at lightning speed and sent out another spiritual fire to burn the jade cup.
Seeing this, Lan Xin and the other disciples clenched their fists excitedly. “Success!”
The jade cup Si Jinrou took out was a spirit artifact specifically used to refine tea. It was called the Brocade Jade Cup.
Its function was to perfectly fuse various materials and automatically adjust them to the best ratio to refine the best tea.
Bang!
However, in the blink of an eye, everyone saw a black light flash in the jade cup.
The Clear Moon Lake water didn’t fuse with the One Night Epiphyllum. Instead, it quickly darkened the One Night Epiphyllum and turned it into a withered flower until it turned to black ashes.
“Sigh!”
Si Jinrou sighed heavily, filled with frustration.
She was so close!
As for the disciples of the entire Water Flower Valley, they revealed extremely regretful expressions. She was really just a step away from success!
“Again!”
Si Jinrou shouted with motivation on her face again.
In order to succeed in refining tea this time, not only did she prepare two types of tea refinement mystic techniques with the elders, but she also prepared three One Night Epiphyllums.
In the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, the number of One Night Epiphyllums was extremely small. They could only grow about ten in a year.
Furthermore, even if it grew out, it might not be able to be picked.
After all, the growth period of the One Night Epiphyllum was too short, and the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm was as vast as the sea of stars. Finding a new One Night Epiphyllum was really as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Within a hundred years, not only would Si Jinrou use One Night Epiphyllums to test the tea mystic technique, but she would also have to leave three One Night Epiphyllums for the Ancestral Worship Ceremony.
This was enough to prove the preciousness of the One Night Epiphyllum and how much effort she had made.
The elders nodded and sent the second One Night Epiphyllum and a stream of Clear Moon Lake water to her.
Si Jinrou tried her best to control her mind and prepared to use the second mystic technique.
