The white-robed elder appeared—he was a half-step Divine Sovereign expert, dressed in white, with white hair, holding a floating and sinking arm, his steps graceful and graceful, exuding an aura of immortal elegance.
It must be said, just the outfit alone was quite impressive. However, this old man, like his disciple, raised his chin high and looked arrogant, which was somewhat off-putting.
"What's wrong?" Not commanding behind the scenes, finally willing to step forward? Long Chen looked at the old man and said calmly.
"I received personal guidance from the Tea Sage, and have already inherited the true teachings of the Sage. How dare you spout nonsense here!" The Tea God Dao Patriarch shouted angrily.
The words of the Tea God Dao Ancestor shocked everyone, who looked at him in disbelief, even Long Chen was startled.
It should be noted that the Tea Sage Lu Yu cast the Classic of Tea, which records 368,000 famous teas, along with the effects of each tea, as well as introductions to picking, roasting, brewing, and reference.
The Classic of Tea records more than 360,000 famous teas, but fewer than 60,000 can be found today, and the remaining more than 300,000 have long since disappeared.
Some famous teas were even rare medicines from the chaotic era, and these species had long since vanished into the river of time.
A species of the Chaos Era—those who can record it must be figures from the Ancient Desolate Era, and those who existed before the Great Ancient War.
He existed before the Great War of the Ancient Wilderness, but in later generations, there are no records about him—only three scriptures personally forged by him have been passed down.
However, because the era is so long, many classics are rubbings. Because so many people have made rubbings, the steles have been eroded by time, causing many parts of them to be damaged. The Tea Classics that have survived to today are all incomplete.
Long Chen had studied the Tea Classic at Lingxiao Academy. The scriptures were profound and obscure, and many parts were indeed incoherent. He only memorized some passages he thought made sense.
Long Chen even specifically researched information about the Tea Sage Lu Yu. Most historical records deny this person, believing he was fabricated. The so-called Tea Classic was actually a collection of ancient wisdom and the strengths of many schools.
And in the scriptures, many things are so mysterious and bizarre that it's hard to believe. Some parts are hard to understand, and the parts that can be understood are also baffling.
Therefore, most people believe that the Tea Saint Lu Yu is a nonexistent person. When the Tea God Dao ancestor said he had received direct guidance from the Tea Saint, even Long Chen couldn't believe his ears.
But seeing the Tea God Dao Patriarch's proud expression, as if he wasn't lying, was what shocked Long Chen the most.
"Have you really met the Tea Saint Lu Yu?" Long Chen said.
Seeing Long Chen and the others' shocked expressions, the Tea God Dao Patriarch proudly said, "Of course, I swear with my soul that if I lie, my Tea God Dao will be reduced to ashes." The
Tea God Dao Patriarch swore an oath, and everyone was shocked again. No one dared to swear by their sect, as the karmic consequences were terrifyingly great. This proved that the Tea God Dao Patriarch had truly met the Tea Saint Lu Yu.
Everyone inside the Wine God Palace looked at each other, unable to believe it either, yet they had no choice but to accept it.
"Is the Tea Sage really alive?" A disciple of the Wine God Technique couldn't help but say.
"He really is a person, and I even had a brief encounter with him." The High Priest spoke.
Everyone was startled again. Not only was he real, but the High Priest had even seen him—it was astonishing.
"What kind of person is the Tea Sage? How could he guide someone like this?" A disciple of the Wine God Technique couldn't help but say.
"Tea Saint Lu Yu is a man of great wisdom; I'm afraid things aren't so simple." The High Priest looked at the entrance of the Wine God Skill, his face full of pride, but the Tea God Dao ancestor, who seemed as triumphant as a petty man, couldn't help but shake his head and say.
Outside the Wine God Palace was silent, while the Tea God Dao Patriarch and his disciples all exuded a spirited and arrogant attitude.
"Long Chen, do you have anything else to say?" No matter how eloquent you are, able to twist facts, our ancestor is a direct disciple of the Tea Saint. Just this status alone is something a nobody like you can judge? Qing Yu said arrogantly.
"Quickly fix your middle part, don't let the wind mess up your hairstyle, and stay quietly on the side." Guo Ran curled his lips disdainfully and said.
"You..."
Qingyu was furious. A female disciple nearby hurried over to help him rearrange his hair and put the golden crown back on, so he could cover up his embarrassment.
Long Chen said calmly, "Putting aside whether I'm a nobody or not, if I don't even have the right to comment, wouldn't you all be picking your throats?" Then why discuss the Dao with me? "
Let me ask you, do you know the whole Classic of Tea?" The Tea God Dao Patriarch looked at Long Chen and said.
"I know, and I've read them all. It's just that my aptitude is limited, so I can't comprehend many things.
Since you are a disciple of the Tea Sage, I want to ask you. In the second part of the Classic of Tea, it says: 'Camellia is not a flower, tea leaves are not leaves; flowers and leaves each follow their own path, like divisions, yin reaches extreme yang level, like union, yin and yang harmonize, twins give rise to three.' What does ' mean? Which type of tea did it refer to in ancient times? Long Chen looked at the Tea God Dao ancestor.
The Tea God Dao Patriarch was instantly at a loss for words, his eyes darting around. He cleared his throat and said, "At that time, the Holy Lord recited the scriptures all at once. I was still young and careless, so I didn't remember much."
I remember what you mentioned; it seems to be referring to some kind of flower tea with yin-yang power..."
The Tea God Dao Patriarch looked as if he was deep in thought, as if recalling something, but couldn't recall it, his face full of frustration.
"Hahaha..."
Long Chen laughed loudly toward the sky, but instead of speaking, he directly transmitted his soul message: "Damn it, I've seen shameless people before, but never anyone as shameless as you."
The passage I'm talking about is the description of Yin-Yang Hehuan grass in the alchemical Dao 'Medicine King Chapter', and has nothing to do with the Classic of Tea. Tell me, should I expose you? "
Hey, hey, young man, be easy on me. Let's talk this through." The Tea God Dao Patriarch hurriedly transmitted his voice.
"Talk it out? Why? I don't dislike arrogant people, but I hate those who are even more arrogant than me. Long Chen sneered.
"Young man, I really have met the Tea Sage in person, and he did indeed guide me. I swear with my soul that this is not a scam." The Tea God Patriarch was so anxious that sweat was streaming down his forehead.
"So what? Just because of this, you keep staring at his reputation and flaunting it everywhere? With your knowledge, it will only ruin his reputation. Today, I will clean up his household. Long Chen snorted coldly.
"No, young man, how about we make a deal?" The Tea God Dao ancestor said anxiously.
"Oh?" Is there anything in your hand that I would be interested in? Long Chen said disdainfully. After robbing Longteng Trading Company for so long, he was already wealthy enough to rival a nation. He was determined to deal with this reckless guy properly.
"Look at this thing—are you satisfied?"
As the Tea God Dao Patriarch spoke, he took out something, and as soon as it appeared, Long Chen's laughter abruptly stopped, and his expression changed instantly.
