Chapter 47 A sip of tea made the Iron-Blooded War God kneel down and call him Immortal Master!
When Li Zhenguo cried, the entire audience fell silent.
The elite team members behind him wished they could disappear into the ground.
Keep your eyes focused on your nose, and your nose focused on your heart; try your best to disguise yourself as a potted plant in the yard.
Embarrassing.
That's so fucking embarrassing!
Their iron-willed team leader, who was known for his absolute authority and unwavering composure even in the face of a collapsing mountain, actually cried like a wronged child in a small courtyard house, right in front of an old man walking his bird.
If this gets out, what will become of their special operations team's reputation?
Grandpa Wang was also dumbfounded.
Although he did not know Li Zhenguo, he could tell from the military uniform and the formation that Li Zhenguo was an important figure.
As a result, this very person was made to cry by his own Xiao Fan?
The way Grandpa Wang looked at Lin Fan completely changed.
He began to feel that Lin Fan's previous explanation of "high-tech genetic modification with added fluorescent agents" was completely untenable.
What kind of high technology could scare a government official like this like this?
Fang Qingxue suppressed her laughter and quietly turned her face to the side.
She felt that this Team Leader Li always appeared in a sorry state, yet he was a wonderful person.
To be able to talk about being scared to tears so confidently, even with a hint of coquetry, is quite a talent.
Lin Fan looked at Li Zhenguo, who was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, and felt completely overwhelmed.
"Alright, alright, you're a grown man, what kind of behavior is this?" He waved his hand impatiently. "It's just two trees, is it really that big of a deal?"
"Two trees?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhenguo cried even louder, looking as aggrieved as a child whose candy had been taken away.
"Sir, you call these two trees? Do you know how many energy monitoring devices our headquarters burned out just now? Do you know how many percentage points the fortune index of the entire capital city skyrocketed? We thought some enemy country had dropped a nuclear bomb on our heads!"
The more Li Zhenguo talked, the more frustrated he felt.
They're on the verge of the apocalypse, while the source of the problem is here leisurely gardening.
Who could resist such a contrast?
"Alright, alright, I admit I was wrong, okay?" Lin Fan was getting a headache from his nagging. "Next time, I'll definitely be more careful. Before I do anything, I'll post something on my WeChat Moments first."
"That's more like it..." Li Zhenguo sobbed twice, finally stopping his crying.
He wiped his face, his gaze towards the two sacred trees filled with awe and an undisguised greed.
"Sir, what exactly is the origin of these two precious trees of yours? The energy they emit is more than a hundred times purer than the 'Dragon Vein Gathering Spirit Array' in our base!"
"I already said it, it's high-tech, genetically modified," Lin Fan insisted.
He can't very well say that one of them was nurtured by the energy I smuggled out of the outer void, and the other was just pulled out of the Kunlun Wonderland, can he?
Li Zhenguo wouldn't just cry; he'd probably be scared to death on the spot.
Li Zhenguo, of course, did not believe it, but he dared not ask any more questions.
He knew all too well that if this man didn't want to talk about something, even if you held a Dongfeng Express courier to his neck, he wouldn't utter a single word.
"Well... sir, the good tea you mentioned earlier..." Li Zhenguo rubbed his hands together, his eyes fixed intently on the few shimmering leaves on the stone table.
Although he didn't know what it was, his martial arts intuition was screaming wildly.
That's an unparalleled treasure!
If I could taste it, I might be able to break through the martial arts bottleneck that has plagued me for many years on the spot!
"Oh, right, tea leaves." Lin Fan picked up a few tea leaves and handed them to Fang Qingxue, who was still in a daze.
"Go, make some tea, and pour a cup for Team Leader Li too, as a way to calm his nerves."
"Okay...okay, sir." Fang Qingxue quickly took the tea leaves and turned to prepare them.
Li Zhenguo's face flushed with excitement, and his breathing became rapid.
Grandpa Wang, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but come closer, his face full of curiosity.
"Xiao Fan, this tea smells amazing! It's even better than my twenty-year-old aged Pu'er. Could... I have a taste too?"
He stared at the few crystal-clear, jade-like tea leaves, his mouth watering.
"Sure, please have a seat, Uncle Wang," Lin Fan said with a smile. "It's my treat today, everyone gets a share."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhenguo immediately felt a little resentful.
On what grounds?
I burned through equipment, lived in constant fear, and risked my entire career just to get a cup of tea.
You old man from the alley, just because you live nearby, you can get a free drink?
But he dared not say it, and could only mutter it to himself.
Soon, Fang Qingxue arrived carrying a pot of boiling water.
She placed the few tea leaves from the Enlightenment Teapot into the purple clay teapot.
The moment the boiling water is poured into the kettle.
"Buzz—"
A mysterious Daoist aura, a hundred times stronger than the previous floral fragrance, suddenly erupted from the spout of the pot!
The entire courtyard was completely submerged by this Daoist aura.
The two sacred trees moved swiftly without wind, their thousands of leaves rustling as if cheering or worshipping.
In the makeshift glass tank, the few golden fish brought back from Yaochi were like they'd been injected with chicken blood, frantically blowing bubbles.
Those bubbles were actually multicolored, reflecting miniature Dao patterns!
Just smelling the aroma of the tea, Li Zhenguo and Grandpa Wang felt their minds were completely cleansed, and all their distracting thoughts vanished.
One's entire spirit sinks into a wondrous state of ethereal clarity.
Fang Qingxue held her breath and poured the brewed tea into three small teacups.
The tea soup is a pale golden color, crystal clear, and contains no impurities.
A wisp of mysterious Taoist energy swirled around the rim of the cup, coalescing into a tiny, almost imperceptible lotus flower that lingered for a long time.
"Here, have a taste." Lin Fan picked up a glass and took a sip.
The tea has no bitterness at all, only an extreme sweetness and refreshing coolness.
The next moment, a vast, pure energy, overflowing with the true meaning of "Tao", flowed down his throat, into his limbs and bones, and finally soared straight to the top of his head!
boom!
In Lin Fan's mind, it was as if billions of stars had exploded!
The martial arts insights gained from signing in, the true meaning of medicine from the Qingnang Classic, the life laws from the Shennong Herbal Classic... all of these were rapidly fused together and integrated into one at this moment!
Countless ultimate mysteries about martial arts, life, and even the origin of the world suddenly became clear at this moment!
His mental strength is increasing wildly at an alarming rate!
This is enlightenment!
Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes, and the world he saw was already different.
He could see the five-colored spiritual energy flowing in the air.
He could see the faint yet tenacious flame of destiny emanating from Li Zhenguo and Grandpa Wang.
He could see the embryonic form of the "Golden Core" inside Fang Qingxue's body, which was about to take shape but was just one step away from completion.
He could even see beyond the courtyard walls, throughout the entire capital city, and even across the whole of China, that intricate, magnificent, and awe-inspiring dragon of human destiny!
"Excellent tea!"
Lin Fan sincerely praised.
This Wudao Ancient Tea truly lives up to its reputation!
The reward from this sip of tea was more substantial than the bonus he earned from a month of hard work signing in!
Seeing this, Li Zhenguo and Grandpa Wang followed his example, picked up their teacups, and reverently took a small sip.
next second.
The expressions on their faces froze instantly.
Li Zhenguo felt a torrent of energy explode within his body!
Violent, yet incredibly pure!
The barrier that had trapped him at the peak of the Transformation Realm for ten years shattered at that moment!
It's as fragile as a thin sheet of paper.
An even stronger and more concentrated power rapidly gathered and took shape in his dantian.
Embrace the elixir!
Martial arts are divine; one step to immortality!
The realm he had dreamed of reaching, he achieved it in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea?
Li Zhenguo trembled with excitement, and the internal energy he had just gathered was released uncontrollably, causing his clothes to flutter loudly.
Meanwhile, Grandpa Wang's reaction was even more exaggerated.
He felt that his body, which had been depleted from years of martial arts training, was being wildly infused with a powerful life force!
The dried-up meridians are replenished.
Aging organs are rejuvenated.
His gray hair turned from white to gray, and then from gray to black, at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The deep lines on his face have been smoothed out by time, and the wrinkles have visibly faded.
He seemed to have been transported back twenty years in time!
"I...I've...rejuvenated?" Grandpa Wang's voice trembled as he looked at his hands, which had become smooth and strong.
He suddenly looked up and stared at Lin Fan.
There was no longer a trace of doubt or confusion in his eyes.
Instead, there was a volcanic eruption of fanaticism and worship!
High technology? Genetically modified organisms (GMOs)?
To hell with high technology!
This is clearly a miraculous transformation, a divine intervention that turns lead into gold!
The boy next door, whom I've watched grow up, is no ordinary person!
He... he is a living, breathing... terrestrial immortal who lives in seclusion next door!
Grandpa Wang has figured it out.
He finally understood!
With a "thud," his knees slammed heavily onto the ground, and he knelt down on Lin Fan.
"Xiao Fan... no! Immortal Master! Immortal Master above! Please accept this old man's bow!"
Grandpa Wang kowtowed as tears streamed down his face.
"I, Wang, was blind to your greatness! I've lived next door to the Immortal Master for twenty years, yet I never knew your true face! I'm guilty! I deserve to die!"
His kneeling startled Li Zhenguo, who was just recovering from the euphoria of his breakthrough.
Li Zhenguo reacted instantly.
Yup!
跪！
Faced with such a divine being who bestowed such extraordinary blessings, what are we waiting for if we don't kneel down?
Without hesitation, he knelt down with a "plop," his movements even more precise than Grandpa Wang's.
"Mr. Lin! No! Senior Lin! Thank you so much for the tea you kindly gave me! I, Zhenguo, will never forget this kindness and virtue!"
In the small courtyard, a group of people knelt down in an instant.
Lin Fan was completely stunned as he looked at the two people kneeling before him, one kowtowing and the other performing a deep bow.
