Chapter 421: Tasting Bodhi tea, assisting Bi Xiao

~6 min read 1,170 words

Gu Xiu cannot wait to take out the rewarded jar of Bodhi leaves from the system space.

Upon touching the jar, a chill is refreshing.

The jar body also faintly flows with a layer of soft halo.

Gu Xiu smiles indifferently: "This jar for storing Bodhi leaves is not bad. The jar body feels warm and delicate to the touch, seemingly carved and made from top-grade cold jade, specifically used to preserve Bodhi leaves."

Gu Xiu gently lifts the jade lid, and in an instant, a strange and rich fragrance permeates the air.

It goes straight to the heart and spleen, making one's spirit feel refreshed.

"It is worthy of being the leaves of the Bodhi tree, one of the top ten innate spiritual roots. It seems it should be able to brew a pot of good tea."

The Bodhi tree, one of the top ten innate spiritual roots, is the companion spiritual root of Daoist Zhunti, equivalent to his main body.

After Zhunti transformed, he directly refined the Bodhi tree into his enlightenment magic treasure, the Seven-Treasure Wonderful Tree, and the Bodhi tree lost its edible value.

If the system hadn't given a jar, Gu Xiu would have no way to get his hands on it.

He takes a look at the situation inside the jar.

Inside lie hundreds of Bodhi leaves quietly, each one glistening and emerald green, with clear veins.

The veins on the leaves are carved with mysterious textures.

Gu Xiu takes out two Bodhi leaves and places them in the teacup, then pours in the freshly boiled spiritual spring water.

In an instant, a magical scene appears.

As soon as the Bodhi leaves touch the hot water, they are like awakened spiritual objects, quickly stretching their veins and releasing strands of five-colored light.

The Dao rhyme flows in the water, and the rich, secluded fragrance of the Bodhi leaves rushes to the nose.

For a moment, Gu Xiu's whole body and mind are clear.

He picks up the teacup and takes a slow sip.

He roughly feels the effect of brewing tea with Bodhi leaves.

"It's about the same as the rumors..."

As the famous tree of enlightenment, tea brewed with Bodhi leaves can empty a person's body and mind, eliminate distracting thoughts, and allow the whole person to enter a state of emptiness and clarity.

In this state, it is very easy for people to enter sudden enlightenment.

In the state of sudden enlightenment, comprehension and wisdom will be greatly improved, and knowledge that usually feels obscure and difficult to understand will become simple.

Gu Xiu ponders slightly: "These Bodhi leaves are very useful for enlightenment. I will save them for now. If anyone is stuck in a bottleneck or wants to enter a state of sudden enlightenment in the future, I can take them out. Maybe they will be able to break through the shackles and usher in a turning point in their cultivation."

While pondering, a burst of soft footsteps comes.

"Immortal, you are here." The voice is like a clear spring in the mountains, crisp and pleasant, and carries a bit of gentleness.

Gu Xiu looks in the direction of the voice and sees Yang Chan moving with lotus steps, coming over slowly.

Gu Xiu raises his eyes, a gentle smile flashing in them, and raises his hand to signal: "Yang Chan, you came just in time. Please sit down. I just got some top-grade tea leaves here. You should come and taste them too."

Yang Chan is dressed in a green dress, the skirt fluttering with the wind, and she slowly walks to the opposite side of Gu Xiu and sits down.

She curiously examines the tea in the teacup that is emitting five-colored light and flowing with spiritual rhyme, her eyes full of surprise.

"Immortal, what kind of tea is this? Why does just the fragrance it emits make one feel a sense of clarity, and the whole body and mind relax?"

Gu Xiu smiles and explains: "This is tea brewed with Bodhi leaves. It counts as a kind of enlightenment tea, which can improve comprehension and wisdom, and allow people to quickly enter a state of sudden enlightenment."

Yang Chan has been cultivating for a short time, and she does not recognize many heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Hearing Gu Xiu's explanation, she sighs lightly: "Immortal, shouldn't such a treasure not be easily used? But looking at you, you don't look like you are about to have a sudden enlightenment."

Gu Xiu smiles indifferently: "Good things are naturally meant to be enjoyed. If they are just hidden away, wouldn't it be a waste? Taste it quickly."

Hearing Gu Xiu's words, Yang Chan nods slightly, lifts the teacup with both hands, brings it close to her nose to sniff, and then takes a slow sip.

In an instant, Yang Chan feels her body and mind being cleansed.

The distracting thoughts in her mind are instantly swept away.

Following that, the tea fragrance spreads in her mouth, and a sense of coolness and sweetness spreads on the tip of her tongue, flowing down her throat.

Wherever it passes, it seems as if a stream of clear spiritual energy is slowly wandering in her body, nourishing every inch of her meridians, and quietly sneaking into the depths of her consciousness.

Yang Chan closes her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes trembling, her expression calm.

A sense of immortal spirit gradually radiates from her body.

Gu Xiu knows that Yang Chan has entered a state of sudden enlightenment.

He does not disturb her anymore.

His gaze looks toward the location of the Three Immortals Island's dojo.

Thinking that Bi Xiao has been slow to feel the opportunity for a breakthrough.

Yun Xiao has been explaining her insights and experiences in cultivation to her recently.

But it seems the effect is not great.

If he borrows the Bodhi leaves, he wonders if he can let Bi Xiao enter a state of sudden enlightenment to find the opportunity for a breakthrough.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiu walks out of the courtyard and heads toward the dojo of the Three Immortals.

At this time.

In the pavilion where the Three Immortals usually discuss the Dao, Yun Xiao is dressed in a white dress, her expression dignified, and she is explaining her cultivation insights and experiences to Bi Xiao.

Bi Xiao listens, sometimes frowning slightly, sometimes nodding gently.

"The foundation of cultivation lies in clarifying the mind and seeing one's nature. Bi Xiao, listen to me carefully, don't let your mind wander..."

Gu Xiu comes from far away and hears Yun Xiao lecturing Bi Xiao.

He cannot help but smile.

He unconsciously remembers the way Yun Xiao taught him to cultivate immortality at the beginning.

Yun Xiao notices Gu Xiu's arrival and stops.

Bi Xiao looks a bit confused, and just as she wants to ask, she also notices Gu Xiu.

She waves at him.

Gu Xiu sees this and walks up.
