Chapter 95: Destiny Art, Chen Xia's Youth Version
Chen Xia planted two trees at the entrance. One was a jujube tree, and the other...
Besides that, he also built a simple pavilion. It wasn't anything elaborate, but it was just right for playing chess and drinking tea.
Making tea was an art, also known as the tea ceremony.
Anything that reached the level of a "dao" was extraordinary and represented profundity.
In historical records, there was a powerful cultivator who had achieved great mastery in the tea ceremony. He used an entire sea as the tea water, with all the creatures in the sea as tea leaves and the heaven and earth as the cup to make a single cup of tea.
After drinking this cup of tea, he became a Great Sage in one step and could even rival a quasi-emperor.
There was always some exaggeration in historical records, but Chen Xia quite believed in this powerful alchemist who made tea like this because he had already started to study it himself.
However, Chen Xia didn't use all things in the world to make tea. Instead, he used yesterday's tea water to make today's tea.
Then the question came up. Was the tea made by Chen Xia considered today's, yesterday's, or even the day before yesterday's?
This question was quite interesting, and the interesting part was that you couldn't delve too deeply into it. You just had to drink it as an ordinary cup of tea and be done with it.
But obviously, one couldn't attain enlightenment like this.
Chen Xia was different. Every time he drank it, he would tell himself.
This is a cup of tea from two years ago, but the taste is just right.
It was in this way that he had just started to get a foothold in the tea ceremony.
The leisurely days of playing chess and drinking tea didn't last for many days before they were interrupted in a hurry.
It was a junior elder who ran over with a panicked look on his face, begging Chen Xia to stand up for him.
"Those formal disciples are really hateful. Not only did they beat people, but they also looted my life-bound magic treasure. That would be okay, but the key is that they even dared to speak ill of you."
"I really couldn't bear it, so I went forward to fight them to the death..."
"But you didn't die." Chen Xia held the tea in his hand and was a bit curious.
"I had the determination to die and planned to defend your reputation, but they were intimidated by my fearless aura. They just beat me up and then ran away in fear!"
Chen Xia took a deep look at this junior elder and thought that he was a talent. It wasn't common to be able to justify being beaten up so righteously.
As far as Chen Xia knew, probably only the big yellow dog was like this.
"So now you want me to stand up for you?" Chen Xia leaned back on the chair, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a calm tone.
The junior elder quickly clasped his fists and said respectfully, "After all, you are our leader. It doesn't matter if I was beaten and robbed, but it's really unbearable to damage your reputation."
"Yes, ordinary people really couldn't bear it." Chen Xia nodded calmly and then quickly smiled and said.
"Fortunately, I'm not an ordinary person."
The junior elder was stunned for a moment and immediately looked up, just looking at Chen Xia. Then he hurriedly said.
"But... but you accepted my gift."
"I can return it. The packaging box is still there, and I can repackage it for you." Chen Xia replied calmly and put down the teacup in his hand.
The junior elder's eyes darted around, cold sweat broke out on his back, he lowered his head slightly, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and asked.
"Are you afraid?!"
Chen Xia's face was expressionless. He leaned back on the chair, flicked his finger slightly, and a drop of tea in the teacup suddenly shot out like a roaring wave with great momentum.
But it was extremely fast and shot at the junior elder's chest without warning. Then it was really like a wave hitting the shore.
It pressed the junior elder in the Mountain Moving Realm so that he couldn't straighten up. He knelt on the ground, slid backward for a hundred meters, and plowed deep grooves on the ground.
The junior elder's face was full of horror. The expensive cloth on his knees was torn, his skin was scraped, and blood oozed out, but he didn't dare to get up or look up at all.
Chen Xia's not-so-loud voice rang out, but it steadily reached the ears of the junior elder a hundred meters away.
"I accepted your gift, so I should help you, but don't take me for a fool. What you said to deceive me before, I took it as a joke and just laughed it off without saying anything to you."
"But this provocation later..."
Chen Xia paused for a moment and then pointed at the junior elder's nose and cursed, "Do you really think I'm an idiot?"
Even if you wanted to use provocation, couldn't you use some more sophisticated words? Saying something like "Are you afraid" was really treating Chen Xia like a three-year-old child to deceive.
If the words were a bit more sophisticated, Chen Xia wouldn't be so angry.
The junior elder knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring down his back, already soaking his clothes, and his whole body couldn't stop trembling. He quickly begged for mercy.
"I was reckless and offended you. Please spare my life. A great man should overlook the faults of a petty man!"
While saying this, the junior elder also kowtowed.
Chen Xia glanced at him and also felt quite speechless. Judging from the junior elder's words and character, it was no wonder that he was beaten from both sides.
Although the big yellow dog also liked to exaggerate things, the big yellow dog was honest and didn't have too many ulterior motives.
All in all, it was a good dog.
"Get lost." Chen Xia casually waved his hand and then said, "The gift you gave, come to my cave dwelling to take it back another day."
"No, no. How can I take back the things given to you?" The junior elder quickly shook his head and waved his hands.
"Whatever. Anyway, I don't need it. Come and get it when you want it." Chen Xia replied casually.
The junior elder got up. He didn't dare to wipe the blood and dust on his body and quickly clasped his fists and saluted Chen Xia before quickly leaving.
Regarding Chen Xia, he didn't have the slightest thought of envy or hatred. The gap between them was just too big.
It was as big as the gap between a dog and dog shit.
They both had the word "dog" in them, but they were not on the same level at all.
Moreover, Chen Xia was still young now, and his future prospects were even more magnificent. He was destined to be a figure standing at the peak.
The current Chen Xia could easily crush him with a wave of his hand. Not to mention Chen Xia who would enter the Heaven Mending Realm thousands of years later. By then, probably just a single thought could directly obliterate this junior elder.
"However, by that time, Chen Xia probably won't even remember me. So he still couldn't obliterate me with a single thought because he wouldn't remember me at all."
The junior elder murmured to himself. This was the only way he could comfort himself.
Compared to envying or hating Chen Xia, he hoped that Chen Xia wouldn't remember him.
Otherwise, even if he had ten thousand lives, it would be hard for him to survive.
The junior elder was extremely worried and even wanted to leave the Azure Sky Sword Sea right away, find a remote place to farm, and be a local king there.
However, Chen Xia obviously didn't have the intention to hold a grudge against him because he had a more important discovery at this time.
At some point, when Chen Xia sank his spiritual consciousness inward, he saw two more big characters above the Turtle Breathing Technique.
"Life Technique"!
Below the Life Technique was a long paragraph of text that Chen Xia couldn't understand. Only one introduction could he make sense of.
Lifespan is the boat, and the Heavenly Dao is the sea. Use the boat to cross the sea and use life to complete the heaven.
Chen Xia fumbled around for a long time. Besides this passage, he could also understand one word.
A crooked character for "body".
He sat there, thinking of a way, and suddenly a brilliant idea popped into his mind.
Chen Xia added the newly obtained points to his mana.
A flash of inspiration passed through his eyes, his spiritual consciousness became clear, and he suddenly saw the light. A line of text in front of him was neatly arranged and appeared before his eyes.
[By consuming ten thousand years of lifespan, you can obtain an external incarnation with seventy percent of your original body's strength.]
Damn it.
This wasn't just an external incarnation.
This was a youthful version of Chen Xia!
