Chapter 821

Thinking of this, Hu Guang'an put down his teacup, looked up at Jiang Daoxuan, and sighed: "This tea is the pinnacle of the world—unattainable for me, and unattainable for anyone else."

"This trip has truly been worth it—Chief Jiang has opened my eyes immensely........"

His heart was filled with complex emotions.

Originally, he had harbored the pride of a great sect disciple when obeying the Sect Master's order to come to this remote land of Da Qin.

But after meeting Chief Jiang Daoxuan of the Jiang clan and experiencing all these shocks,

that pride had been utterly shattered!

Even within his heart, a faint thought had begun to form.

Just which one of us—the Heavenly Sword Sect—is truly a Celestial-level force, or is it this Cangwu Jiang family?

How come coming to Cangwu Mountain feels like a country bumpkin entering the city........

Just as Hu Guang'an was lost in these thoughts,

Jiang Daoxuan suddenly said: "If that's the case, how about I gift you a jin of this Qingling tea?"

Qingling tea?

So this is the tea's name... wait!!

Hu Guang'an suddenly widened his eyes, his face filled with shock.

He instinctively wondered if he'd misheard.

Qingling tea? A jin? Gifted to me?

Hu Guang'an gasped in disbelief.

Given this tea's miraculous nature, let alone a jin—even half a liang would be extraordinarily valuable, and even then, it would be unobtainable no matter how much you paid.

If word got out, countless Celestial-level sects would scramble to seize it.

But now, a full jin—just given away for free?

Hu Guang'an felt overwhelmed with astonishment; he was about to wave his hand and refuse, but then he hesitated, unwilling to let it go, and stopped his motion.

Seeing this, Jiang Daoxuan merely smiled lightly.

To outsiders, this Qingling tea was indeed extremely precious.

But in his eyes, it was nothing special—even comparable to common fare.

After all, in these days,

besides investing in the Fated Child, he occasionally triggered various investment tasks targeting ordinary clan members.

Yet these investment tasks rarely required his personal involvement.

He only needed to issue a minor clan task under the guise of reward on the Cangwu Token,

and if a clan member completed the task, they could personally redeem their reward from the clan's treasure vault.

Once the reward was claimed, his investment task would be instantly completed.

Precisely because of this, he had accumulated vast resource reserves through countless investment tasks.

Qingling tea was merely one insignificant reward among them.

In his system warehouse, he still stored several thousand jin of this tea.

And in the spiritual fields of Cangwu Mountain, he cultivated many varieties of treasure teas superior to Qingling tea.

Of course, the other party was destined never to learn of any of this.

Then, Jiang Daoxuan waved his hand.

Shhh—

Instantly, a white jade treasure vase appeared midair.

The vase floated slowly through the air and came to rest before Hu Guang'an.

"In these days, Zhiwei has often spoken to the clan, recounting her life in the sect every few days—I can tell she's very satisfied with her current life, and her determination has risen significantly compared to before."

"But this is Zhiwei's first time away from home, so her understanding of social customs is inevitably shallow—if there are any shortcomings, please bear with her......."

Jiang Daoxuan recalled the various messages Jiang Zhi had sent him on the Cangwu Token, and a faint smile curled his lips.

Hearing this, Hu Guang'an was startled.

He never imagined Jiang Zhi, though far away on Heavenly Sword Mountain, could still frequently communicate with her family in Cangwu Mountain.

Such a miraculous method—let alone any force within a single dynasty—

even the Celestial-level sects within the Yuehua Imperial Dynasty could not achieve it!

The strength and depth of the Cangwu Jiang family far surpassed worldly imagination!

Yet such profound depth could not be achieved overnight—it required countless ages of refinement and accumulation.

Could it be that the Cangwu Jiang family was a secluded clan founded by an Ultimate Stronghold?

Thinking of this, Hu Guang'an's eyes gradually brightened.

In that case, everything made sense........

Immediately after, Hu Guang'an's gaze toward Jiang Daoxuan changed entirely.

He quickly waved his hands: "Chief Jiang, you're too humble—Zhiwei's sword talent is unparalleled; in any sect, she'd be fought over desperately. For you to allow her to come to our Heavenly Sword Sect for training is a blessing our sect has spent ages to earn."

"Moreover, Zhiwei's personality is adored by those old monsters—you wouldn't believe how eagerly they compete to be her mentors, desperate to pour out every secret technique they possess. Some have even threatened: if anyone dares harm a single hair of Jiang Zhi, they'll personally emerge from seclusion to demand justice!"

"So with such a little deity, we're barely able to pamper her enough—how could we possibly harbor resentment, let alone question whether we accept her?"

Hearing this, Jiang Daoxuan's smile deepened.

Though he hadn't witnessed the scene firsthand, just from Hu Guang'an's description, he could easily imagine most of it.

"You say you came here under your Sect Master's orders—then what is the purpose of this visit?"

Jiang Daoxuan's expression grew serious as he began to inquire about the matter at hand.
