Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 201-Chapter 300)

Three disciples of the Green Vine mountain added with smiles, “Yeah, there’s nothing great about the tea here!”


None of them were surprised. Independent cultivators were basically synonymous with broke. They did not even have enough money to buy pills, so why would he have money to invite them to the famous tea of the Tranquil teahouse? They obviously did not have a lot of ill will behind this, but it would always be rather funny when a bumpkin embarrassed themself.

It was obviously impossible for this group of people to scamper out of the store like this. Naturally, a generous and straightforward man would save the situation.

Mu Zhicong said, “The Tranquil teahouse is renowned in the world of cultivation. Being able to try their fine tea is one of the greatest joys that life can offer. Since we’ve come, let’s stay. Since it’s Zijian’s friend who has come to the Green Vine mountain, I should be the one to play the host.”

Li Qingshan had not even heard of the renowned Tranquil Teahouse before, so he was obviously ignorant.

Cheng Jiali glanced at Mu Zhicong in an infatuated manner. “Then we’ll be forcing senior brother to go to some expenses today. Zijian, why don’t you thank senior brother? Let alone people from remote areas, but even we don’t enjoy something so extravagant often.”

Li Qingshan could sense Cheng Jiali’s hostility towards Yu Zijian. She was clearly trying to say that Yu Zijian was a bumpkin just like him. This was the troublesome aspect of humans. Daemons directed their hostility at the individual, while humans hid it all in their hearts.



Yu Zijian just happened to miss what she was implying. She said in embarrassment, “Thank you, senior brother Mu. Actually, I’ve been curious to try what something so expensive would taste like. Let’s get the Cloudmist tea!”

The Cloudmist tea was the cheapest tea here. Naive, straightforward women were already rare, let alone those that were also kind-hearted and considerate. She seemed to possess both her mother and her father’s merits. The more that they got to know her, the more they found her to be loveable and worth protecting.

Mu Zhicong’s gaze became softer. “We’ll drink whatever you want, Zijian.”

Cheng Jiali’s smile stiffened slightly, while the other two disciples looked at her in a somewhat mocking manner.

Li Qingshan snickered inside. This was like a clash between a third-rate master and a powerful Qi Practitioner. Right off the bat, Cheng Jiali had suffered a crushing defeat.

While Cheng Jiali possessed some beauty about her, she lacked the charm that could touch people. She was like a song that had been sung along all the rules and standards of singing. While there was nothing wrong with it, people could go without listening to it. However, the singing of certain people could touch the hearts of people.

Just when Mu Zhicong wanted to tell the tea brewer their order, he was stopped by Li Qingshan. He grinned. “We might come from a remote place, but we can still afford to drink some tea, right, Zijian?”

Only then did Yu Zijian suddenly understand what Cheng Jiali was trying to say. She frowned. “Exactly!” She was irate. You can look down on me, but how can you look down on Niu Juxia?





Chapter 214: Lucky | Legend of the Great Sage




Mu Zhicong was displeased. Cheng Jiali immediately said, “Fellow Niu, it’s not easy for independent cultivators to earn spiritual stones. You should keep it for the pills that you need!” The other two disciples added to it as well.

“I’m aware of my limits!” Li Qingshan said indifferently. I had to kill a bunch of Qi Practitioners just like you to earn what I have right now. It’s true that it wasn’t easy. However, that’s no reason for me to let you lot look down on people from remote places. He did not mind being mocked a little, but he could not just watch them mock Yu Zijian.

He said to the tea brewer, “Uncle, give me a pot of your most expensive, uhh, Worriless tea!” Li Qingshan sat down at a tea table boldly, like he was extremely wealthy. He could not help it. He had several hundred spiritual stones on him, and he had a spiritual stone vein underground. He would be lying if he tried to pass himself off as poor.

The tea brewer finally raised his head and studied Li Qingshan. There were not a lot of people who could afford to drink the Worriless in this town of Qi Practitioners. He said indifferently, “Please wait!” He went about brewing the tea.

The disciples of the Green Vine mountain were all stunned. The Worriless tea was a famous tea of the Tranquil teahouse. A single pot came at an astronomical price of twenty-seven spiritual stones. If that was all converted into Qi Gathering pills, it would be enough for a Qi Practitioner to cultivate for a year or two. Even Mu Zhicong would be reluctant to buy a pot of Worriless tea. He smiled dryly. “Fellow Niu, how generous of you!”

Yu Zijian tugged Li Qingshan’s sleeve and whispered to him to try and convince him otherwise, “Niu Juxia, that’s so expensive.”

Li Qingshan patted the exquisitely sculpted stool beside him. “It’s for us, so what’s there to worry about?”

He was speaking from the bottom of his heart. Trying all the delicacies that the world had to offer was a part of his grand dream anyway. Although tea was unlikely to fall into that category, he wanted to try anything and everything that could fulfill the desires of the mouth and belly. Since he could not try all the teas in the world, he would try the best ones. Moreover, his principle when it came to unfamiliar people, particularly people he disliked, was to never owe them anything. How could he make others pay for his tea?

Yu Zijian sat beside him. She could feel that Li Qingshan wanted to stand up for her, so she felt rather mixed inside.

The disciples of the Green Vine mountain all looked at Mu Zhicong. They were unsure whether to sit down or not. They also wanted to try the Worriless tea. Mu Zhicong thought, Since you want to impress us at your own cost, do whatever you want.

Li Qingshan asked Yu Zijian about what she went through after she had been taken away.

As it turned out, Yu Zijian just became a regular, miscellaneous disciple who ran errands after she had been brought to the Green Vine mountain. In the end, when the Green Vine Elder appeared at the entry ceremony and tested everyone’s talent, she was deemed to be the most outstanding.

Out of joy, the Green Vine Elder decided to ask about her origins. If she was just some regular girl, she would have been left speechless already by the lofty sect halls and the dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, Yu Zijian pointed at Liu Fengrui and said, “I didn’t want to come, but he forced me to come.” She went into detail about how he had threatened her and how he tried to silence her as tears trickled down her cheeks.

The children that Liu Fengrui had initially brought back from the Proud Sword manor were close with this young miss in the first place, so they began to miss their homes. For a moment, all of the children in the main hall burst into tears, turning the formal entry ceremony into something that was very awkward.

The Green Vine Elder felt rather humiliated. He pointed at Liu Fengrui and scolded him. He said, “If other people saw us, they would think that we abducted all of our disciples here!”

Liu Fengrui begged and apologised for his behaviour. His personality was not very likeable even among his own seniors and juniors, so no one stood up for him. They all mocked him secretly.

The Green Vine Elder turned around and left furiously. As a result, Yu Zijian turned her misfortune into a blessing. As a matter of fact, it could even be said that she had turned the tables.
