It wasn’t until night was about to fall that he finally returned to his courtyard.

Early the next morning.

Zhou Changwang headed out once more.

Without stopping elsewhere, he went straight to the Shuiyun Pavilion.

Soon, he met with Shen Xinyue. Upon seeing Zhou Changwang, her gaze held some complexity, and she said in a low voice, "The batch of Spirit Tea you sent yesterday, where did it come from?"

She had discovered yesterday that the Spirit Tea Zhou Changwang gifted was not the ordinary Spirit Tea she initially thought, but Third-Grade Spirit Tea from a Centennial Spirit Tea Tree.

Such a gift was indeed valuable.

Especially for a cultivator like her, who was beginning to temper herself, refine her body, and nurture her spirit in preparation for Foundation Establishment.

A pound of Third-Grade Spirit Tea Leaves is valuable not just for the leaves themselves, but as a major guarantee for strengthening the Heart Spirit and safely passing the Consciousness Barrier among the Foundation Establishment Three Gates.

As everyone knows, Spirit Tea has the effects of nourishing the spirit, gathering the soul, and elevating the spiritual realm.

The higher the quality of the Spirit Tea, the better the effect.

Although she was currently only at the Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation, she could break through to Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation at any time to become a Ninth-Layer Cultivator if she wished.

However, to lay a more solid foundation for smoothly overcoming the Physical Body Barrier, Spiritual Power Barrier, and Consciousness Barrier in Foundation Establishment, she preferred to slow down a bit to reinforce the foundation of these three challenges.

She was confident about the Physical Body Barrier and the Spiritual Power Barrier.

In the Shuiyun Immortal Sect, countless experiences from sect elders were available for her to choose and learn from, with corresponding Dharma Gates to counter them. However, the Consciousness Barrier was the most difficult.

In the Cultivation Realm, it is well-known that the only thing effective for the Consciousness Barrier is Spirit Tea of Third Grade or higher.

Previously, she wasn’t fond of drinking tea, but she wanted to increase her chances of passing the Consciousness Barrier through drinking Spirit Tea frequently.

As a result, when she returned to her Cultivation Secret Room last night and thought of the Spirit Tea given by Zhou Changwang, she couldn’t resist opening it to take a look.

And it was this glance that unsettled her usually calm state of mind, filling her with immense surprise.

Third-Grade Spirit Tea.

Such Spirit Tea Leaves in the Fengming Dock Marketplace are considered priceless and unavailable.

Half a year ago, she only managed to buy three taels at a high price and hadn’t obtained more since.

Hence, she was exceedingly shocked by the pound of Third-Grade Spirit Tea Leaves suddenly gifted by Zhou Changwang.

"I got it by chance.

Knowing that you enjoy Spirit Tea, I specially brought it as a gift."

Zhou Changwang stated calmly.

"By chance?"

Shen Xinyue glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. Could such a treasure be acquired by mere luck? But she indeed needed this Spirit Tea, so she solemnly said, "Consider this Spirit Tea as me owing you a favor."

"You’re too polite.

I just hope this transaction can proceed smoothly."

Zhou Changwang quickly replied, then proceeded toward Luoxia Fairy’s residence first.

Shen Xinyue wasn’t one to be coy, nor did she intend to get to the bottom of things. Since he didn’t want to say, she wouldn’t pry.

She just kept it in mind and knew there would be rewards in the future.

As for helping oversee the transaction? It was merely incidental, not considered as a favor.

Soon, Zhou Changwang arrived at Luoxia Fairy’s courtyard.

This time, no one else spoke to her. Zhou Changwang greeted her from a distance, saying, "Luoxia Fairy, I have arrived as promised.

I wonder if the Cultivation Technique is available?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

However, Luoxia Fairy didn’t respond immediately but instead focused her eyes intently on Shen Xinyue, who wasn’t far behind Zhou Changwang, saying, "Shen Xinyue of Shuiyun Immortal Sect’s Phoenix Twin Swords?"

"What is the reason for inviting Fellow Daoist Shen?"

Following that, Luoxia Fairy looked toward Zhou Changwang and asked.

"Just in case.

Given it involves over ten thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, I naturally needed someone to assist as a safeguard; I hope the fairy will understand."

Zhou Changwang said calmly.

"I’m merely here as a witness.

If the transaction is smooth, everything is easy to discuss. If any trouble arises during the transaction, I must ensure the safety of my younger brother."

At this moment, Shen Xinyue also spoke timely, her face equally calm, but a mysterious gleam flickered in her eyes.
