Feng Yi tidied his clothes and left the Heyu Teahouse, heading towards the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Upon arriving, he saw Hu Tao excitedly running towards him.
"Hu Tao, look what good stuff I got!"
"Feng Yi, look what good stuff I found!"
Just as Feng Yi was about to share the precious Qingyu tea leaves with Hu Tao, he found out Hu Tao had the same idea.
"I'll go first!"
"I'll go first!"
"Fine, you go first..."
"Fine, you go first..."
"..."
"..."
At that moment, they spoke in unison, without prior agreement.
"Hu Tao, you go ahead and speak first!"
Feng Yi chuckled at their synchronized actions, but to spare Hu Tao's feelings, he yielded the first word to her.
"Hee hee, Feng Yi, look what I found in Grandpa's treasure vault?"
Hu Tao giggled, blew a breath onto the ring in her hand, and summoned a clumsy little ghost.
This little ghost was fun to spin around, and Hu Tao was eager to share this new toy with Feng Yi.
Little Ghost: Who am I? Where am I? Why has the great devil summoned me again?
The little ghost had an indelible fear etched in its mind from being spun around by its tail by Hu Tao.
It was one thing for someone to not fear ghosts, but for someone to treat ghosts as toys?
Truly infuriating!
Catching a glimpse of Hu Tao's familiar smile again, the little ghost was horrified and tried to fly upwards.
But after flying for a long time, it remained in the same spot. Looking back, it found its tail being held by that great devil!
"Feng Yi, you try it too, it feels great in the hand!"
Hu Tao highly recommended her new toy.
Feng Yi looked at the little ghost in Hu Tao's hand, its gelatinous body like a balloon. But the moment he touched it, his hands passed right through.
This sudden turn of events surprised both of them.
Seeing the little ghost acting up, Hu Tao grabbed its head and started to beat it, telling it to behave.
Feng Yi, on the other hand, made a bold guess: this little ghost's spiritual body could only be interacted with by someone of Hu Tao's lineage.
Feng Yi speculated that perhaps Hu Tao's ancestors had signed some kind of contract with the little ghost...
"Hu Tao, try to transfer the elemental energy from your God's Eye into the little ghost?"
Remembering Hu Tao's performance in the game in her past life, Feng Yi suddenly suggested.
"Huh? I'll try!"
Hu Tao acted as an intermediary, channeling the elemental energy from her God's Eye into the little ghost.
The little ghost's body began to emit wisps of ghost fire, and it let out joyous whimpers, laughing uncontrollably.
It seemed that Hu Tao's Pyro element energy made it very comfortable.
"Here goes!"
Hu Tao had an inspiration and swung the fiery little ghost around.
The next moment!
"Someone help, fire! Quick, put out the fire!"
The old housekeeper's panicked shouts echoed through the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
While everyone was busy fighting the fire, Hu Tao swatted away the little ghost that was blowing air.
"Stop blowing, go play elsewhere!"
The little ghost had tried to help put out the fire in good faith, but because it still had Pyro element energy accumulated inside, the more it blew, the bigger the fire grew, proving more effective than pouring oil.
The little ghost floated aggrievedly beside Hu Tao, it hadn't meant to, it just wanted to help.
Without the little ghost's unhelpful assistance, the burning house was quickly extinguished, though everyone was covered in soot.
"Next time, I'll be careful next time!"
Hu Tao, under Feng Yi's gaze, stuck out her tongue and apologetically promised.
Feng Yi: You still want a next time?!
Feng Yi could sense that the elemental energy of the little ghost and Hu Tao had a very high compatibility, like a flame amplification transmitter.
After carefully explaining the conditions for using the little ghost, he finally took out the jade box containing the Qingyu tea.
He gave Hu Tao a portion, telling her to drink it sparingly, as he didn't have much of it himself.
If he didn't remind her repeatedly, Feng Yi felt that with Hu Tao's unreliable nature, she might even use such fine tea to boil tea eggs.
Wouldn't that be a waste of nature's bounty?
What kind of egg would be worthy of such fine tea?!
Perhaps only a Phoenix Egg would have that qualification!
After handling these trivial matters, Feng Yi still had to go to the Yuehai Pavilion.
If he had good things, he had to share the wealth, and not neglect one for the other.
Outside the Yuehai Pavilion.
The guards at the entrance had already recognized his appearance. When Feng Yi approached, they didn't even need him to announce himself; they immediately cleared a path.
"You're here?"
Ganyu, who was working, looked up and saw Feng Yi approaching. She paused her writing and gave him a sweet smile.
"Grandma Xi gave me some precious tea, I came to share some with you!"
Feng Yi took Ganyu's hand and led her to the tea table, took out the jade box from his embrace, and opened the lid, revealing the verdant, jade-like tea leaves.
"Qingyu Tea! Grandma is truly generous!"
Ganyu exclaimed. Having interacted with immortals for many years, she understood the preciousness of Qingyu tea even better than Feng Yi. It was difficult to grow without the right environment, and even the tea trees grown by Grandma Xi were nurtured by her immortal power.
This Qingyu tea was usually prepared for the Geo Archon, and she rarely got to taste it.
She never expected Grandma Xi to be so generous this time, giving Feng Yi so much at once.
"Of course, it's a reward for the success of the life alchemy experiment!"
Feng Yi explained as he portioned out some of the tea.
"You succeeded?!"
Ganyu asked curiously. Only a day had passed, and Feng Yi had already succeeded?
How fast!
"Grandma Xi took the golden giant egg today. She asked me to pick it up tomorrow. Shall we go together tomorrow?"
Feng Yi invited.
"The golden giant egg? Alright!"
Ganyu was also very curious, so she agreed. As long as she was with Feng Yi, she was happy, no matter what they were doing.
"Let's take this opportunity to brew a cup and try it. I didn't taste much of it before!"
Feng Yi took a small pinch of tea leaves, preparing to brew a pot immediately.
Don't misunderstand; he drank the pot Grandma Xi made for him earlier so quickly out of thirst that he didn't have time to savor it.
Feng Yi remembered that his second senior brother was the same when eating ginseng fruit; he ate it too quickly and couldn't taste much.
Ganyu used her immortal power to condense dew from the heavens, which was perfect for brewing tea.
Feng Yi accepted the Qingyu tea personally brewed by Ganyu, and with a gentle sip, he felt a warm current soothing the fatigue in his body.
His consciousness in his mind instantly cleared, and he even glimpsed a hint of a breakthrough for the bottleneck in his cultivation methods.
This tea actually had the effect of a legendary Enlightenment Tea, albeit a greatly weakened version.
But this was still a rare treasure, no wonder Ganyu was so shocked when she saw the tea.
He had to properly store the remaining tea and drink it sparingly, using it to break through when encountering cultivation bottlenecks.
Ganyu held a cup of tea, taking sips from time to time, savoring the familiar taste, her eyes filled with the image of a certain person.
At this moment, Ganyu was immensely content...
