Chapter 7: Understanding the Dao with a Sip?
Upon hearing this, Leng Yanran also became serious. There was no room for carelessness when it came to cultivation.
"Disciple does have some doubts, and I hope Master can enlighten me," Leng Yanran earnestly asked, laying out all the questions and doubts she encountered during her practice of the Chaos Devil Art.
Meanwhile, Chen Daoxuan listened attentively while reaching out towards the Primordial Spirit Enlightenment Tea Tree. The tree's intelligent branches offered him a twig. He was quite surprised; he didn't expect the tea tree to be so spiritual.
Nonchalantly, he picked some Enlightenment Tea leaves, then gently caressed the tree's branches. The Primordial Spirit Enlightenment Tea Tree showed great delight, swaying as if it were a cherished pet that had just been caressed.
While Leng Yanran continued expressing her doubts, her master's next action startled her, causing her to pause for a moment. Chen Daoxuan casually waved his hand, and beside the Primordial Spirit Enlightenment Tea Tree, a small pavilion appeared seemingly out of thin air. It had a set of tables and chairs, and even a fine tea set.
After he naturally settled down, he beckoned to the dazed Leng Yanran, motioning for her to come over. Only then did Leng Yanran react and hurriedly took her graceful white legs forward to stand before her master, bowing slightly, ready to listen to his teachings.
She couldn't help but wonder about her master's true strength; could a mortal cultivator really create things out of thin air like this? Could her master already be an immortal?!
"No need to be so restrained. Sit down, and let's have tea while we talk," Chen Daoxuan said with a wry smile.
The relationship between a master and disciple should be filled with mutual affection, right? Being so formal and rigid wouldn't be convenient in the future. What kind of decorum was this?
"Yes, Master!"
Leng Yanran didn't refuse and respectfully sat across from him, lifting her head and chest as if she were one of the young children in a school. However, she felt warm inside; she didn't expect her master to be so approachable despite his profound strength!
"Ah... Never mind. You'll get used to it eventually," Chen Daoxuan said helplessly, realizing that changing this behavior would take time. He decided to go with the flow.
"You can continue," he added when he saw his disciple behaving so restrained.
Seeing this, Chen Daoxuan felt somewhat helpless, but he understood that this was not something that could be changed in a day or two, so he decided to let it be.
As Leng Yanran continued explaining her doubts about her cultivation, Chen Daoxuan initially planned to make tea. However, she was considerate enough to take the tea leaves and start brewing it herself.
He naturally enjoyed such leisure, feeling quite comfortable to have a disciple serve him. Being a master was indeed quite pleasant!
As Leng Yanran held the Primordial Spirit Enlightenment Tea in her hands, she felt an inexplicable coolness spread throughout her body. The phenomenon seemed magical, but having witnessed so many extraordinary things in her master's presence, she didn't dwell on it.
After she finished expressing her doubts, the Enlightenment Tea was ready.
"Well, not bad. Watch carefully, and I'll demonstrate it for you," Chen Daoxuan said after listening to her cultivation difficulties. Most of her issues were related to the smoothness of her meridian circulation. He thought it would be more effective to show her directly rather than explain verbally.
In the past, he wouldn't have been able to teach like this, but after Leng Yanran comprehended the first chapter of the Chaos Devil Art, he gained complete mastery of the art. Now, every issue seemed like child's play to him.
Hearing this, Leng Yanran was slightly taken aback. Having practiced the Chaos Devil Art before, she knew that this cultivation technique had many restrictions. However, it seemed like it was tailored for her, at least for someone of her demonic heritage, especially one with Primordial Spirit Enchantment.
Unexpectedly, Master also practices this technique? Well, considering his unfathomable existence, there's nothing that seems impossible! With that, Leng Yanran cleared her mind of distractions and focused entirely on observing her Master's cultivation.
As Chen Daoxuan completed a full cycle of the first chapter of the Chaos Devil Art, Leng Yanran felt as if she had just experienced a revelation. All her previous doubts were effortlessly resolved! Although there were still a few minor issues, she believed that with more practice, she could easily overcome them.
"Thank you, Master, for imparting this technique!" She stood up and respectfully bowed to her Master.
"Did you understand it clearly? Is there anything you're still unsure about?"
Chen Daoxuan motioned for her to sit down and inquired about her progress, genuinely concerned about whether her cultivation issues had been resolved. After all, he was counting on his disciple to break through her current realm as soon as possible, so he could earn more rewards. His disciple's cultivation must not go awry!
"After witnessing Master's demonstration, about eighty percent of my issues have been resolved. The remaining twenty percent can surely be solved with a little more study," Leng Yanran quickly responded to her Master's inquiry.
"Is that so?" Chen Daoxuan nodded. "That's good then. The tea is ready; pour yourself a cup too."
While muttering to himself, he glanced at the already brewed Enlightenment Tea on the table. Distracted by demonstrating the technique, he forgot to taste it.
The thought of the tea's miraculous effects made his eyes light up.
"The disciple was so engrossed in watching master’s demonstration that I forgot to make tea for master.
However, Leng Yanran, upon hearing this, was taken aback, then immediately kneeled on the floor.
"I didn't mean to scold you; it was a simple request. No need to overthink it," Chen Daoxuan's lips twitched. Why did she look so afraid of him?
"Please excuse me, Master. I'll pour you a cup right away," Leng Yanran responded humbly.
"It's all because of my narrow-mindedness!"
Leng Yanran finally breathed a sigh of relief. She respectfully prepared tea for her Master, then poured herself a cup as well. Her cautious nature wasn't surprising, considering her possession of the Enchanting Bone; she had to be careful to survive and avoid being abducted by many powerful predecessors!
"Hmm, not bad at all. From now on, I'll leave the tea-brewing task to you," Chen Daoxuan praised Leng Yanran's tea-making skills after taking a sip of the tea.
"Making tea for Master is my privilege," Leng Yanran replied with a sweet smile, sipping from her own cup under her Master's gaze.
However, as the tea touched her lips and glided down her throat, her eyes widened in astonishment. She quickly closed her eyes and entered a state of enlightenment. After about the time it took an incense stick to burn, she slowly opened her eyes.
"This tea... it can actually induce enlightenment!?"
Leng Yanran was amazed, looking at the teacup before her with disbelief. Every cultivator in the world desired such an incredible opportunity to enter an enlightenment state. Despite being hailed as the most talented in the Moro Kingdom, she had never experienced this state before. It was truly a priceless treasure!
"Of course. This is the Enlightenment Tea, which aids in reaching enlightenment," Chen Daoxuan explained with a smile, taking another sip of tea.The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))
"Have you resolved the remaining twenty percent of your doubts?"
Witnessing his disciple's adorable and astonished expression, he playfully inquired while holding his teacup.
