Chapter 35 Enlightenment Tea Tree
Having finished speaking, he sat down beside the spring. He had just closely observed and knew that this place was the core of the Blessed Land and also the nodal point of the earth veins of this mountain.
As his mind sank into the earth veins, he saw the massive earth veins resembling rivers of varying sizes in the world, crisscrossing beneath the pitch-black land, emitting a faint green glow. These glows were not harsh on the eyes; on the contrary, they looked very comfortable. On some of the nodes, there were dazzling globes of light flashing.
Lu Yu knew that these nodes were the Cave Heavens in the human realm.
He didn't have the chance to closely observe the beauty of the earth veins and merely caught a fleeting glimpse before he converged his mind. At this moment, the most important thing was to comb through the earth veins to stabilize the nodes here. Otherwise, as the earth veins shifted, the nodes would move as well, causing this place to gradually become an ordinary cave dwelling.
Only by combing through and stabilizing the nodes could he make full use of this opportunity.
As he drove the Primordial Spirit Force, the flow of the earth veins gradually became regular, and the node he was on also stabilized. If someone, like Lu Yu before, observed the earth veins, they would find that the node here was already shimmering with light globes. Although not intense, it was different from the state that could vanish at any moment before.
Lu Yu then quietly breathed a sigh of relief. This Blessed Land had never been combed through since its birth. If he had delayed for a few more days, he feared the spiritual energy would have faded, and this pool of spring water would have gradually dried up, eventually becoming a mere ordinary cave.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Big Black Donkey, thinking to himself that it was also because this silly creature, unknowingly, only kept drinking the spring water, accelerating the change of the earth veins.
Big Black Donkey, seeing Lu Yu looking at himself, thought, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen such a handsome and dashing donkey?" However, what he said was, "Immortal Chief, do you have any instructions?"
Although there were no expressions discernible on that long donkey face, the look in his eyes and his tone were filled with flattery.
Lu Yu didn't have that much time to deal with this silly creature, as combing through the earth veins was of utmost importance. As he combed through the earth veins, the Cave Heaven was completely stabilized.
Suddenly, Lu Yu felt as if he and the Cave Heaven were merging, as though he had transformed into the whole Cave Heaven, with his organs faintly vibrating as if something were about to emerge and merge with the Cave Heaven.
Its main body turned into a black branch, while the remaining spiritual charm scattered across the heavens and earth, manifesting into various tea trees.
"An Enlightenment Tea Tree? It's no wonder that such a defiance of heaven would attract nine bolts of Purple Cloud Divine Thunder, injuring its origin." Lu Yu finally understood the whole story.
He carefully examined the budding branch in his hand, feeling the unique aura of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, indeed inherently close to the Dao.
Planting the tea tree beside the Spiritual Spring, he saw the branches grow visibly fast, turning into a small sapling in no time.
"It's a pity that its origin was damaged, its efficacy could never compare to before. Yet, it is enough to stabilize my fortune and destiny," Lu Yu muttered to himself.
Big Black Donkey stared blankly as Lu Yu performed a series of operations, realizing that he had indeed encountered a true master this time. He wished he could give himself a big hoof for robbing such a person; now his life and death were in another's hands, wondering how he would live his future days.
He licked his huge donkey face and obsequiously said to Lu Yu, "My lord, only a sublime Immortal like you deserves to reside in such a fine place. Considering the humble one's service in finding this blessed land for my lord, I hope my lord will show mercy and let me go!"
After saying this, he widened his eyes, trying hard to look sincere, but unfortunately, his nature meant that no matter how he acted, he still exuded a sly air.
"Oh! From what you say, I really should reward you properly," Lu Yu said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
The Big Black Donkey was overjoyed upon hearing this, secretly thinking there might be an unexpected windfall. Thinking that Lu Yu, as a profound master, only needed to show a little generosity and it would be more than enough for him, he was very excited.
"I am willing to serve before and behind the saddle for my lord!" He quickly offered up a flattering saying he had heard from a storyteller.
"Since you're so sincere, I shouldn't disappoint you. I'll agree to your request!" The response from Lu Yu made the Big Black Donkey suddenly start; when had he made a request?
