Chapter 875 -35: Knife
“You see, I told you we could definitely find it, didn’t I?”
After his exclamation, Lotesno turned back proudly to Link, boasting of his foresight.
Link remained silent, but he was internally complaining.
Was it really you who found it?
The item you were looking for is clearly in the Ancestor Heavenly Master’s possession.
Your presence in the Heavenly Master’s Mansion is also thanks to Mr. Xu Jing’s invitation, not your own initiative.
In other words, what the Ancestor Heavenly Master holds is not only the stars but also a lure or bargaining chip.
“What’s that look for?”
Lotesno was unhappy with the lack of the expected response and instead received a roll of the eyes. He repeatedly questioned indignantly, “What’s with your eyes? Are you despising me by rolling your eyes? I’m so perfect; what ground do you have to scorn me? Humph!”
At the end of his interrogation, Lotesno snorted heavily and turned away from Link, looking instead at the Ancestor Heavenly Master and the unimpressive small stone in his hands.
The longer he looked, the clearer he saw, and the excitement on Lotesno’s face from finding the stars diminished.
Latterly, Lotesno’s face fell for a moment, and then he straightened up, becoming serious and formal.
The effects of the “Metamorphosis Period” suddenly vanished.
Lotesno assumed the posture befitting a Reincarnated Saint, facing the Ancestor Heavenly Master.
“Little Buddy, Link, please follow Mr. Xu Jing to taste the tea I personally cultivated, harvested, and prepared. How does that sound?”
The Ancestor Heavenly Master did not immediately discuss serious matters with Lotesno but first extended an invitation to Link.
Or to put it more bluntly, to sideline Link first.
“Many thanks to the Ancestor Heavenly Master.”
Link gave a bow and then followed Mr. Xu Jing, leaving the grand hall.
The moment he stepped out of the hall, Link felt as if the grand hall behind him became unknowable, inaudible, and inscrutable.
The hall clearly stood there, solemn and majestic, real and impervious.
Yet, an invisible barrier completely enveloped the hall, making it the most isolated space.
Without the Ancestor Heavenly Master’s permission, no one could enter the hall.
Even deities of the same rank from the culture of Heavenly Immortals and Celestial Masters, and from the culture of Wizards and Saints, were no exception.
“This way, please, Wizard Grande.”
Mr. Xu Jing gestured invitingly, and the Light Gate reappeared.
High-ranked cultivators indeed do not tread the usual path.
Link followed Mr. Xu Jing through the Light Gate to another grand hall.
From its structure, this hall was identical to that of the Ancestor Heavenly Master.
The only thing missing was a sensation that could be intuitively understood but not articulated, a certain charisma if you will.
If asked to describe in detail, Link could only use a phrase known from his former life: “Visiting Mount Dongshan feels insignificant, but visiting Mount Tai feels like grasping the world.”
The contrast between the two halls was roughly so.
After the indispensable pleasantries between host and guest, Link and Mr. Xu Jing took their seats.

Mr. Xu Jing did not delegate to others. He personally boiled water, washed, brewed, and served the tea, preparing a pot with a fragrance that was elegant and enduring. Before even tasting it, Link felt his mouth water and his body relax thoroughly, as if he had undergone a sauna treatment.
The sensation was quite miraculous.
Link couldn’t help but compare the tea he grew, picked, roasted, and brewed to the tea grown, picked, roasted by the Ancestor Heavenly Master and brewed by Mr. Xu Jing.
Then he arrived at an expected conclusion.
He was outmatched in every aspect.
Seeing what Link was thinking, Mr. Xu Jing smiled and said, “This tea from the Ancestor Heavenly Master is produced only eight ounces every hundred years. Today, thanks to the fortune brought by Wizard Grande, I too am fortunate to taste it.”
“Many thanks to the Ancestor Heavenly Master for this tea and to Mr. Xu Jing for your high regard.”
Link immediately expressed his gratitude.
“Let’s not stand on ceremony any longer, come, have this tea,” said Mr. Xu Jing with a gentle smile, picking up his teacup and focusing on enjoying his tea.
Link did the same.
The finer the tea, the more it merits a slow, appreciative taste, so as not to waste it, akin to chewing peonies.
No more words were exchanged between them; in a quiet and serene atmosphere, they put aside all outside concerns, focused inward, and savored the taste of the tea.
After slowly consuming a cup of tea, Link’s state could not have been better.
All the subtle, indissoluble “irritations” he hadn’t noticed or couldn’t dispel were quietly resolved in the comforting embrace of the tea.
His spiritual foundations were further solidified.
The urgent need to advance to Level Five Sage was no longer pressing, no longer needing continuous suppression.
If nothing unexpected happened later, he could leisurely spend his days waiting to return to his own universe, back under the aegis of the Wizard World Will, and then proceed with the advancement.
“Many thanks to the Ancestor Heavenly Master for this tea,” Link said again, having felt the changes within himself, expressing his thanks sincerely.
“Would you like another cup?”
Mr. Xu Jing did not directly respond to Link’s thanks but instead picked up the teapot, asking if he would like another serving.
Link shook his head and declined, then explained, “Contentment brings happiness. One cup is sufficient; I dare not overindulge.”
“Good.”
Appreciation was clear in Mr. Xu Jing’s eyes as he set down the teapot.
Is the tea grown, picked, and roasted by the Ancestor Heavenly Master good?
The best in the civilization of Immortals and Gods!
Would drinking more bring more benefits?
Not necessarily.
Knowing that water overflows when full and the moon wanes at its peak, moderation is key in all things.
Link’s ability to restrain himself and cherish blessings revealed a commendable level of spiritual maturity.
As someone of a high stature equivalent to a Level Nine Great Sage in the Wizard culture, Mr. Xu Jing could continue drinking.
But since Link could not continue, Mr. Xu Jing also stopped, dismissing the tea set with a wave of his hand.
Having done this, Mr. Xu Jing did not allow the atmosphere in the hall to return to silence, but spoke up, “Wizard Grande, taking advantage of this opportunity brought by the Ancestor Heavenly Master seeking Saint Lotesno, I have some matters to discuss with you.”
