Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven

Chapter 1759 - 1750: Revisiting Old Haunts

Tiange City!

Located in the northern part of the Eastern Desolate within the Bodhi Realm, it’s one of the rare big cities in the entire Eastern Desolate.

Outside the city, a hundred miles away, the mountains rolling and magnificent, between these mountains, rests a sect, the Xuantian Sect!

In the Eastern Desolate Northern Domain, the Xuantian Sect is currently the fastest-growing sect.

Back in the day when Mo Wangchen first arrived here, the Xuantian Sect could barely be considered a second-rate force.

Later, the Xuantian Sacred Land became one of the Holy Lands in the Eastern Desolate, and since then, almost no one could stop their development.

Speaking of the Xuantian Sect, Mo Wangchen still has a good relationship with them.

Brother Zhang Tianhua, the Xuantian Saint, has always left a good impression on Mo Wangchen, and is one of the few friends he has in this Bodhi Realm.

Additionally, Li Ziyue, Xi Xiaoyu, and Yue Qian are all disciples of the Xuantian Sect now.

Back when Mo Wangchen first came to the Bodhi Realm, these three had helped him a lot, and through them, he first learned news about Senior Sister Qingyin.

In the blink of an eye, over sixty years have passed, and I wonder if those old friends are still around today?

Mo Wangchen knows better than anyone the harshness of the Cultivation World, where sixty years is enough for many things to happen.

Especially in this highly competitive Bodhi Realm, it would not be surprising if something unexpected happened to Yue Qian and the others.

He led Lin Bai and others into Tiange City; a hundred miles outside the city is the mountain gate of the Xuantian Sacred Land. Mo Wangchen plans to visit old friends Yue Qian and Zhang Tianhua before leaving here.

"This Tiange City is indeed bustling, undoubtedly one of the rare big cities of the Eastern Desolate."

Shortly after entering Tiange City, Mu Xi and the others were amazed by the sight before them.

Though the scale of Tiange City is not the largest compared to the ancient cities they’ve seen, the crowd is undoubtedly among the top!

"Back in the day, Tiange City was also lively, but not obviously as bustling as now. Possibly due to the West Saint traveling north, making the Bodhi people overflow, not only Tiange City, other places should be like this too," Mo Wangchen said.

Soon, everyone arrived at the most prosperous tavern within the city.

The tavern is three stories high, catering almost entirely to some noble family sons and prominent figures.

Similarly, the consumption on the tavern’s third floor is the highest, something ordinary cultivators cannot afford.

"I’ve heard there is a famous ’Thousand Tea’ in this ’Qiancheng Building.’ I was fortunate enough to come here once in the past but did not get to taste it. This time, I’ll bring you all here."

Mo Wangchen took Lin Bai and the others to sit at a window seat on the third floor of the tavern, smiling as he spoke.

Back when Xuantian became a Sacred Land, he had visited Tiange City and heard about the ’Thousand Tea’ at Qiancheng Building, but unfortunately didn’t have time to taste it.

"Thousand Tea, I’ve heard some senior brothers mentioning it; it’s indeed a rare holy tea in the Ten Thousand Realms, not only does it taste excellent, but it also provides cultivators the opportunity for enlightenment," Zhao Yiran couldn’t help but say. He followed Mo Wangchen and others all the way from the Linglong Realm, mingling with them for some time now.

"Ha ha, looks like Brother Zhao hasn’t tasted it either. Today we’re going to see what’s so mysterious about this Thousand Tea," the Green Emperor laughed heartily.

Soon, the tea was served, and everyone poured themselves a cup. Unlike other teahouses, the teacups here are noticeably smaller, and a full cup lasts only a few sips before finished.

This rightly explains the true value and uniqueness of the Thousand Tea.

This small teapot contains just enough to fill a cup for Mo Wangchen and others, yet its price is extremely high. Even a young master from an ancient family would only afford to taste it once every half-month; daily visits are unsustainable due to such high expenses.

More importantly, the supply of Thousand Tea is limited; having money doesn’t guarantee a sip.

"Indeed, quite mysterious..."

Mo Wangchen took the lead and sipped a bit. As the tea entered his stomach, he felt a warm current throughout his body, providing comfort, and the tea seems to contain a special mystical power that eventually the Divine Sea absorbs and transforms into cultivation.

"I’ve heard this Thousand Tea is brewed from a type of leaf called Enlightenment Leaf from a Restricted Zone within this Bodhi Realm. These Enlightenment Tree leaves are extremely difficult to find and cannot be picked by hand; otherwise, the entire tree will wither instantly and turn into a dead tree. You have to wait for them to fall naturally before collecting them, and many fierce beasts surround the Enlightenment Tree. Even with great effort, Qiancheng Building manages to gather only a few dozen to nearly a hundred Enlightenment Leafs a month," Zhao Yiran said.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xi was stunned and couldn’t help but comment, "Turns out these tea leaves are free finds. One leaf brews a pot; sometimes it might even be used twice. This brew’s price is incredibly high, they really know how to do business."

"How precious are the enlightenment tea leaves? The guarding beasts, even ordinary Divine Realm Peak experts dare not provoke them lightly. It’s something picked at the risk of lives, but you talk as if it was free? If you can’t afford it, simply leave; many wish to drink it."

Just as Mu Xi’s words fell, a few young men sitting not far away intervened; the one speaking sounded somewhat irritated.

These few managed to sit on the third floor of Qiancheng Building, showing their extraordinary status and refined temperament.

Unfortunately, they arrived a step after Mo Wangchen and his group. Since Thousand Tea has limited daily availability, Mo Wangchen’s group took the last portion for the day, leaving these few displeased. Coupled with Mu Xi’s words, they couldn’t hold back.

"I was just saying casually, why are you so upset? One might think you’re the young master of this Qiancheng Building." Mu Xi realized his words were potentially inappropriate, but this person obviously targeted them with his remarks, making Mu Xi a bit displeased as well.

"Hehe, I may not be the young master of Qiancheng Building, but I do know him. He happens to be present in this building today. If I relay your recent words to him, do you think he’ll kick you out?" the young man sneered.

"We paid for the tea, are we not allowed to comment? Why would he kick us out? Store bullying customers? Your acquaintance with the young master has no bearing on us. If you’re so capable, why not have him serve you a portion of Thousand Tea?" Mu Xi, ever candid and straightforward, spoke without any reservation.

"We’re all fellow cultivators here, let us not escalate things unnecessarily."

Suddenly, from the direction of the stairs, a gentle voice echoed, prompting everyone to look around and see a Jinyi Youth arriving.

"Brother Xu!"

The young man arguing with Mu Xi stood up immediately upon seeing the newcomer, smiling and welcoming him.

This Jinyi Youth, named Xu Xuan, was indeed the young master of Qiancheng Building he had mentioned!

"Ah, it’s Brother Zhang."

Xu Xuan recognized the man, nodding in greeting; the Zhang surname individual visited Qiancheng Building frequently to taste Thousand Tea, and over time, they’ve naturally established some rapport.

However, regarding family background or other aspects, the Zhang surname individual clearly couldn’t compare with Xu Xuan, exhibiting a flattering attitude at each meeting.

"Brother Xu, you might have just gotten here and are unaware of what they said..."

The Zhang surname man approached Xu Xuan and relayed Mu Xi’s earlier remarks. Just as expected, Xu Xuan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

His gaze shifted, surveying Mu Xi and his companions one by one. However, upon noticing Mo Wangchen among them, Xu Xuan paused, quickly showing a look of utter amazement.
