Chapter 89 Provoked Anger
lu yu chuckled as he looked at the enlightenment tea tree beside him, which was still swaying its branches, and said, "that's some good luck, it came just as we were talking about it."
with a gentle flick of his hand, the descending fortune flew toward the enlightenment tea tree. the small sapling flashed with dazzling light instantaneously. within the radiance, the tea tree grew at a pace visible to the naked eye, and its formerly delicate branches started to expand as the tender young tea leaves gradually enlarged.
"haha, given this scene, it won't be long before we can drink tea," lu yu said joyfully, recalling how he used to enjoy tea in his previous life. however, he hadn't found any tea trees in great chen in this life, so it had been a long time since he had last tasted tea.
"but it seems the tea leaves still need to be roasted to achieve the fragrance from my previous life, and it seems we don't yet have the technology here," lu yu said troubledly, guessing that tasting the tea as he remembered it was probably not going to be an easy task.
however, as the tea tree grew, the fortune was rapidly depleted, but lu yu knew it was all worth it. what surprised him was that the amount of fortune wasn't small, and the enlightenment tea tree quickly repaired its damaged roots and even had some fortune left over.
"haha, heaven helps me as well. the refinement of the treasure vase has just reached a bottleneck, and this bit of fortune is enough to take it to the next level," lu yu was overjoyed, indeed not expecting any fortune to remain.

summoning the treasure vase, he infused the remaining fortune into it, and the vessel shimmered with light. a profound and intricate ambiance materialized from the treasure vase, deeply mysterious yet very familiar to lu yu, as he had felt this when he listened to the patriarch preach on mount fangcun.
"could it be because i, along with my fellow apprentices, refined it at mount fangcun, that it has acquired some of the patriarch's aura?" lu yu speculated inwardly.
regardless, this aura was utterly magical. under the stimulation of the fortune, it completely merged with the treasure vase, adding a touch of mystique to it.
the blood qi was incredibly tenacious, but it dissolved steadily under the flame's purge, and lu yu quietly breathed a sigh of relief. the gap between himself and the patriarch of the nether river was vast; what the patriarch planted casually was an immense problem for him, and he feared this flame might not counteract the bizarre blood qi.
as time passed, the blood qi diminished and gradually dissipated. just when lu yu was lowering his guard, suddenly an unknown force erupted. under the influence of this force, an inexplicable flame blazed from the gushing spring point below, causing lu yu intense pain.
"this is one of the three disasters—the disaster flame!" lu yu had this realization in no time. according to the ancestor's words, cultivation for five hundred years first brought thunder calamity, and another five hundred years would bring fire calamity. yet now, he inexplicably faced the fire calamity. he instantly understood that this must be the work of that ancestor.
since the plans for him had fallen through, it was natural to destroy him, taking advantage of lu yu's stimulation of the fire qi to seamlessly trigger the fire calamity.
thinking this, lu yu calmed down. knowing the cause, he naturally felt no fear—human fear mostly stems from the unknown.
suddenly, lu yu's figure shifted unpredictably—one moment he was a fierce tiger laying on the ground, the next he was a giant python roaring towards the sky, followed by a nimble cheetah, and then a white crane ready to soar. as his methods of transformation unfolded, the acupoints on his body changed accordingly.
the flame that had started burning from the gushing spring point was originally meant to spread through all his acupoints to the mud palace, turning his viscera to ash and his limbs to decay.
however, the flame seemed to have lost its way and didn't know how to advance, while lu yu began to mobilize all his mana, starting to encircle and block the fire. he had already stimulated the fire element qi and contemplated the divine skills of samadhi true fire day and night.
his understanding of flames was not negligible, and he soon grasped the characteristics of this flame, initiating an orderly pursuit.
through the relentless efforts of lu yu, the spontaneously appeared disaster flame gradually subdued. a mouthful of fresh blood spewed from lu yu's mouth, its scorching breath dispersing within the blood.
