The City Lord's mansion was spacious and elegant, with well-arranged buildings surrounding a meticulously designed garden.
Chen Changsheng and the others sat together, their faces full of anticipation.
Luo Liuxi personally brewed the Four Symbols Tea, with Miaomiao and Li Linyu assisting from the side, a rich tea fragrance permeating the air.
Under the brewing of a pair of slender jade hands, the tea emitted a golden light, and a golden dragon phantom spiraled up, its body majestic, its dragon scales shimmering with golden light, its power fierce.
Then, a white tiger phantom leaped out of the tea, its lithe body bursting with white divine light, and the tea became clear and transparent.
Immediately afterward, a vermilion bird phantom danced gracefully, its fiery feathers emitting a red glow, and the tea surged under the vermilion bird's phenomenon, like dancing flames.
Finally, a black tortoise phantom slowly rose, its majestic tortoise body and snake neck forming a solid barrier, and the tea was calm and profound within the black tortoise barrier.
The phantoms of the Four Symbols Divine Beasts flew and rotated, as if gods had descended between heaven and earth.
Fortunately, Zhuo Heng intervened at a critical moment, isolating the Four Symbols phantoms within the City Lord's mansion, and the miraculous scene was not noticed by the cultivators outside the mansion.
Only the guards and servants of the City Lord's mansion saw the vast scene of the Four Symbols Divine Beasts floating in the air, and were intoxicated in the mellow tea fragrance, unable to extricate themselves.
The sound of tea pouring, like jade beads falling on a plate, was crisp and melodious, and the rich and lingering tea fragrance wafted towards everyone.
With the cooperation of the three women, a cup was poured for everyone present.
Within the tea in the cup, the shadows of the Four Symbols Divine Beasts could be faintly seen swirling, disappearing in a trance, as if nothing had happened, and the scene just now was just a momentary illusion.
Zhuo Heng's gray robe fluttered, and smelling the pervasive tea fragrance, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This tea is better than the freshness of the valley, making people feel as if they are in a sea of flowers."
He looked up at Chen Changsheng and made a gesture of invitation: "This tea was purchased by my little friend, please have the first taste."
"Elder Zhuo is too kind."
Chen Changsheng smiled and picked up the teacup, taking a light sip, and suddenly his whole body emitted a crystalline glow.
The tea fragrance was intoxicating, and the entrance was mellow like honey, making people feel refreshed and as if they were in a fairyland.
The surrounding people immediately picked up their teacups and savored it carefully, the tea soup coming leisurely, the taste pure, as if tasting the freshness of nature.
Everyone was immersed in the tea fragrance, their bodies emitting a white light.
True Qi, Qi and blood, and divine consciousness were all slightly improved at this moment, and a strange inspiration emerged in their minds, but its movement was too fast to capture.
The appearance of this person shocked everyone present, including Zhuo Heng, who was in the Composite Body stage!
"Guests are welcome, if senior wants it, then I will offer you a cup," Chen Changsheng said first, with a smile on his face.
The white-haired youth smiled upon hearing this, his voice still old: "Then I thank you, little friend."
Luo Liuxi then came back to her senses, her movements gentle and elegant, pouring a cup of warm tea for this person of unknown origin.
The white-haired youth's face was handsome and flawless, his eyes deep as if he could see through the years, but his full head of white hair and old voice were telling everyone present that his age was definitely not low.
The longer one lives, the higher one's cultivation is.
Especially since Zhuo Heng had not noticed him when he appeared, it could be seen how terrifying his cultivation was.
"Good tea! It's been a long time since I've had such excellent Four Symbols Tea."
The white-haired youth drank the tea in one gulp, a pleasant expression on his face, he put down the teacup and said: "I am Liu Mulin, thank you very much for your tea."
Saying that, he looked at Chen Changsheng with interest and asked, "May I know what your name is, little friend?"
"You are too kind, senior, I am Chen Changsheng, since senior likes this tea, why not stay and have a few more cups," Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
The other party didn't ask anyone's name, but only asked his name.
This made Chen Changsheng's heart tighten, could it be that the other party had seen something?
"Oh, I just miss the taste of Four Symbols Tea, the rest of the tea is still for you to taste slowly."
Liu Mulin waved his hand with a smile and said, "I won't disturb everyone's interest, I like this Taiping City very much, if there are any troubles that cannot be solved, feel free to find me."
After saying that, his figure gradually became illusory and faded, quickly disappearing before everyone's eyes.
For a time, Chen Changsheng and the others in the courtyard fell into a long silence.
It wasn't until a long time later that Zhuo Heng broke the silence: "That senior has already left."
"Elder Zhuo, can you see the origin of the other party?" Luo Liuxi asked.
Zhuo Heng shook his head: "This person's cultivation is unfathomable, even the strongest person in the Dayan Holy Land is probably not as good as this person!"
Even his cultivation could not be seen through, and such a high evaluation was given, it could be seen what kind of existence Liu Mulin was.
That was a great power that even the Holy Land could not reach!
"Could it be the legendary Great Ascension stage?" Zhuang Zongzheng said with a look of horror.
Chen Changsheng showed a pensive expression, and said an even more terrifying guess: "Maybe it's the Tribulation Transcending stage?"
Qiu Xuan swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling slightly: "The Tribulation Transcending stage is too terrifying, right? It's hard to say whether there is a Tribulation Transcending stage in the current cultivation world, let alone running to our Taiping City?"
"Great powers of the Tribulation Transcending stage no longer need opportunities, but to experience the mortal world, it is normal to travel the world," Zhuo Heng said in a deep voice: "Perhaps it is just such a coincidence that they have come to our Taiping City."
Taiping City's reputation is not weak, it is a famous big city in the Nine Dragons Domain, attracting countless cultivators, and there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the city.
It seems not impossible for a great power of the Tribulation Transcending stage to pass by and stay.
Luo Liuxi said in a crisp voice: "Judging from his attitude, this senior has no malice, and his stay is a good thing for Taiping City."
"Don't spread today's events, we can understand it, maybe it will become an impeccable trump card," Yuan Rao said softly.
Qiu Xuan let out a long breath and said with a wry smile: "Let's not talk about these, let's continue to taste the tea, this is the Four Symbols Tea that even Senior Liu praised, don't just chat and forget to taste the tea carefully."
Chen Changsheng smiled and said: "That's right, taste the tea well, I won't take it out to invite you casually in the future!"
Everyone laughed softly upon hearing this, and the atmosphere of the chat became pleasant again.
The appearance of the mysterious great power became a small episode in this gathering, and more of it was about discussing the development of Taiping City and the insights on the Dao techniques.
Chen Changsheng's tea was not in vain, after listening to the discussions of the elders of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage, he had a deeper understanding of the Dao techniques, and the bottleneck of his cultivation also showed signs of loosening.
