In the Elixir Sect's grand hall where matters were deliberated, over sixty percent of the sect elders had gathered, barring those who were responsible for overseeing the alchemy competition. Nearly all the remaining elders were present.
Each person's face was tinged with a hint of anticipation; they were all eager to learn the ancient alchemy techniques. Under the Sect Master's implication, Elder Sun had reluctantly shared the pack of Enlightenment Tea Leaves that Li Xiaobai had given him with the other elders.
The Enlightenment Tea Leaves were refreshing to the heart and soul, purified the viscera, and cleared the mind's platform. The doubts and confusions they had about alchemy were resolved in this moment, and the faces of the elders showed varying degrees of enlightenment.
Unable to resist, they took a couple more draws until the packet of tea leaves ran out and they burned their hands on the stubs. Only then did they snap back to reality.
