Chapter 481: The Ninth Tea of the Nine Lords [Middle] [10,000 Words] (Part 2)

"

Fang Che's heavy heart almost laughed at these words.

He suddenly remembered the vine that fled after he urinated on it and couldn't help but feel a surge of laughter in his stomach.

It really looked like a ghostly scene, seeing the trees dragging their roots around outside Dongfang Sansan's window at night.

Dongfang Sansan didn't laugh, "Sometimes, when they take a walk, I follow them for a round, standing between the two trees. After two rounds, my weary heart feels much lighter, as if a lot of things have been washed away..."

"But it can't be too often. They take walks several times, and I join once. After all, it's a couple's walk, and I don't want to intrude. It's enough to occasionally benefit from it."

Dongfang Sansan said, "And the greatest effect of these two tea trees is... to wash away some of the traces of age and experiences from your heart."

"I know the bitterness in your heart, so I brought you a pot."

Dongfang Sansan smiled, "Don't feel it's too little. These two trees are very stingy. Every time I pick tea, no one else can, and even I have to coax them for a long time. It's like coaxing a child. When I pluck a bud, the tree shivers, making it hard to bear."

Fang Che almost laughed out loud.

He picked up a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and immediately felt his heart and body become much lighter.

The painful memories seemed to be washed away.

He hurriedly stopped, "I'll just have this one cup."

"Why?"

Fang Che said calmly, "I need to remember those things. I don't want to forget."

Dongfang Sansan sighed softly, "...Alright."

Fang Che began to narrate slowly.

The intelligence that couldn't be passed through Night Dream began to unfold bit by bit.

When he mentioned the Yin-Yang Cemetery...

"Stop!"

Dongfang Sansan's expression became incredibly serious, "Guard? Wolf King? Tiger King? Star Realm? Star Realm?!"

This news was extremely bad for Dongfang Sansan!

Because all his worst fears had been confirmed.

"The Divine War indeed failed, and... the Guard is all dead."

Dongfang Sansan's face turned slightly pale. As a commander, he understood what it meant for a commander's Guard to be completely annihilated.

It meant the commander had to personally fight on the front lines.

But his Guard being wiped out also indicated one thing: the enemy's combat strength must still exist!

So, the situation was dire.

He asked cautiously, "They didn't mention... after the battle, how the enemy was injured or what their losses were?"

Fang Che shook his head, "No."

Dongfang Sansan frowned.

He fell into deep thought, muttering to himself, "They had time to build a cemetery for the Guard; this suggests the enemy's losses were also very severe. Otherwise, in a typical situation, after annihilating the enemy's Guard, the next move would be to press the attack and eliminate the commander."

"It means the enemy also needs to regroup."

"Since that's the case, there is a gap in strength between the two sides, but it's not that significant. If the deities on this side were to perish, the other side would undoubtedly suffer heavy losses as well."

"Even... with such a gap, if the other side doesn't have powerful allies, the deities on this side would at most be severely injured, but there wouldn't be any problem with survival. However, countless signs indicate that the deities on this side have already fallen..."

"In that case, the other side has allies, or to be more precise, they have a demigod who is not much weaker than a main god. But in that situation, it's easy to suffer backlash..."

After a brief silence, he asked, "Is it because you were chased by the snake and the centipede?"

"Yes."

Dongfang Sansan began to ponder again, "The Heaven Scorpion Deity... Centipede, Snake..."

"During Jun Lin's time, the Heaven Scorpion Deity's clone was very weak... Later, with the Five Spirit Toad method, it managed to... give rise to the Only Righteous Sect..."

"In other words, severe injuries are certain. This aligns with the battle situation."

"The other one who made a move should be the Snake Deity, right? That's why the Heaven Deity fell..."

He slowly considered, then said, "That little bear, is it healthy and lively? But it has never shown its strength?"

"Yes."

"In the plan to raise toads to godhood, it was an ordinary bear? In the Yin-Yang Realm, it's a little bear? Can you confirm it's the same bear?"

"Yes."

Dongfang Sansan asked a few questions and fell silent again.

He spoke softly, "So, the Yin-Yang Realm is its own territory, but it's actually a graveyard? Plus, it's a strategic reserve in the rear? But the resources here are insufficient to provide benefits for such a divine battle, meaning it's at the very edge?"

Fang Che scratched his head, indicating that he had heard but didn't understand Dongfang Sansan's muttering.

Or perhaps he understood a tiny bit, but that tiny bit was even less than not understanding at all.

To truly express that he and Dongfang Sansan were not from the same world, and if they were to be distinguished purely by wisdom that wasn't from the same species! "In the future, if there's another spatial trial like this, you must go in, no matter what!"

Dongfang Sansan immediately gave a stern order.

"Yes."

Dongfang Sansan furrowed his brows and said, "Is the little bear close to Yan Bei Han?"

"Yes."

Dongfang Sansan nodded silently.

He returned to his pondering.

Fang Che could clearly sense that Dongfang Sansan had revealed a mood of dissatisfaction.

Although he immediately restrained it, Fang Che felt a bit confused.

This mood of dissatisfaction... was it dissatisfaction with... what aspect?

Dongfang Sansan sighed softly and murmured, "God... God... how did it come to this..."

He sighed and looked at Fang Che, saying, "Then let's study the route you wanted to know about earlier."

That was a sharp turn.

Fang Che almost got left behind.

"Er... er, Ninth Uncle, please go ahead."

"Regarding the future path, I can see that you have plans for the present and the future, and you have plans for the future; whether it's the young masters from the various families who returned to Tianxia Express, or the relationship with Yan Bei Han, Chen Yin, and others in the upper echelons...

Taking a deep breath, Dongfang Sansan said, "It's a pity that all your plans cannot be put into use now. In other words, there's a gap in your planning."

"Currently, in the middle-level relationship, you only have the Yin Shen Palace of the Yixin Sect."

"You don't even know anyone in the Southeast Headquarters."

Dongfang Sansan frowned and said, "This is not good. It's not enough for your development and the assistance you need."

Fang Che was a little puzzled and asked, "Ninth Uncle, can you explain it more clearly?"

"Okay."

Dongfang Sansan said, "For example, if you're in the southeast now and the identities of Night Demon or Xing Mang get exposed, then to resolve these issues, you'll have to seek connections from the headquarters, like Yan Bei Han, Chen Yin, or have the Yin Shen Palace directly pressure Yan Nan to solve it."

"This kind of thing is fine once or twice. But if it happens too often, it will be extremely detrimental to your future development."

"Because it will leave an impression that you only rely on connections to pressure others. However, the lower-level followers have all climbed up from lowly positions, so even if you have connections, they won't be impressed because your abilities are overshadowed by your upper-level relationships."

"Do you understand now?"

"I understand."

"So, you need to develop your relationships in the Southeast Headquarters of the Only Righteous Sect, whether it's confidants, superiors, or subordinates."

"Therefore, you need to broaden your horizons. We can sacrifice some things for your progress, and it's inevitable to make some sacrifices for your advancement. This is something that cannot be avoided no matter what."

"If you're reluctant to sacrifice lives, then your conscience will be burdened. But you must be willing to sacrifice other things, like goods and some intelligence."

"This will help you cultivate some people who can speak on your behalf."

"This is of utmost importance."

"You can't be like now, where your role is just to deceive Yan Nan. This kind of relationship won't last long."

"So, if you don't handle this relationship well, everything you've arranged before might even become useless."

"Or by the time you need to use them, you might not need them anymore. Then what's the point of cultivating them?"

"It's like that."

Fang Che was deeply convinced.

Dongfang Sansan frowned and said, "So, when necessary, you'll have to go to the Only Righteous Sect to gain some experience... But how should we handle this?"

He furrowed his brows, and Fang Che didn't dare to interrupt, so he could only wait silently.

"This matter needs to be postponed."

Dongfang Sansan said, "After you take office, you must take charge of the inspection work on both sides. No matter what, you must achieve results for the Yixin Sect and the Southeast Headquarters."

Fang Che nodded heavily, "Alright."

"For now, just maintain the upper-level relationships like this. The most important thing right now is the middle-level. Don't worry about whether these relationships will be useful later. As long as you have people, it's your success."

Dongfang Sansan said, "As for those you find useless later, when you're sure they're useless... don't forget that they're your people, which means everything is an open book to us."

to stop him, but Dongfang Sansan had already put the teapot into his spatial ring.

"Huh?"

Fang Che was stunned.

"I don't want to forget either."

Dongfang Sansan smiled bitterly, "I forgot about sacrifice, which means forgetting my roots. So, I can't forget... I'll leave half a pot of tea, and I'll find a chance to let people like Dong Chang and others of this level drink it. They're all at a critical moment in their cultivation, and this tea will be of great benefit to them."

"......"

Fang Che had no choice but to nod, "Yes."

His heart was filled with bitterness, but he couldn't find the words to express it.

There was only half a pot of leftover tea, yet Dongfang Sansan was still keeping it.

Although the spatial ring had a constant temperature preservation feature, this was still a bit much for the Ninth Master.

It was just too...

Fang Che didn't want to use harsh words to describe Dongfang Sansan, so he could only remain silent.

Then, he saw Dongfang Sansan take out a new teapot.

Fang Che: "......"

"This fourth pot of tea is also from the Only Righteous Sect. It's called 'Bingxue Lanya,' and it must be brewed at a high altitude in the clouds to achieve its effects. After drinking it, it can produce a kind of icy spiritual energy within the meridians. This spiritual energy allows one to remain unaffected when taking action in extremely cold weather. It's the secret weapon of the Only Righteous Sect."

"If your cultivation is slightly higher, and you engage in combat in an extreme icy environment, you'll definitely be at a disadvantage."

Dongfang Sansan said, "You drink it first. In the future, when you encounter similar situations, pay attention to the reverse flow of spiritual energy, and stimulate the icy spiritual energy."

"Yes."

Fang Che held the cup with reverence.

"While you're drinking this cup of tea, I'll tell you about the experts on the Cloud Armament Ranking and the younger generation. They are allies and opponents you will inevitably encounter in the future."

"Currently, I've listed the top 200 for you on the Armament Ranking, and there are about 32 young people I've listed for you."

Dongfang Sansan began to introduce each of them one by one, just like a treasure trove of knowledge.

Fang Che was thoroughly impressed.

Even these younger individuals were thoroughly researched by Dongfang Sansan, and their information was constantly updated.

Soon, Dongfang Sansan finished introducing the people on the Cloud Armament Ranking.

"You only have a vague impression of these people. It's not time for you to face them yet."

"But for the upcoming young people, you should pay close attention."

Dongfang Sansan's expression turned solemn.

"This group of young people is extraordinary."

Dongfang Sansan said, "The Only Righteous Sect produces a batch of young talents every once in a while, but with my continuous research, many from the previous batches gradually disappeared. Some were forgotten, and some were suppressed by their own people. From the time the information reached my hands until I finished researching the current batch, more than half of them had already disappeared."

"But for this batch, I've only removed one person so far."

"As for the rest, judging from the current situation, they all have boundless potential. So, in these past few years, the Only Righteous Sect's fortune has been flourishing, and it's not just on our side."

"I understand."

"Among this group of people, the mediocre and middle-tier ones, according to my judgment, are even above the upper-tier level of the previous batches!"

Dongfang Sansan said, "In order, starting with the Feng family, Feng Yun."

Fang Che listened carefully while drinking tea.

He was fully focused, striving to remember every detail about each person.

There were numerous characters, and Dongfang Sansan's introductions were exceptionally detailed.

Time passed bit by bit, and it had already been a long while.

Dongfang Sansan spoke softly, describing each person's age, appearance, personality, family background, specialties, combat power, habits, and even whose daughter was going to be their daughter-in-law...

She spoke in great detail, leaving nothing out.

"Although I've introduced all these people to you, it's absolutely impossible for you to use all of them. The greatest benefit of today's conversation is that when you encounter one of them in the future, you'll immediately have an impression of them in your mind. This will make it easier for you to befriend or deal with them."

Finally, Dongfang Sansan finished speaking, and she herself felt quite exhausted.

She picked up the teacup and drank two cups of tea.

With a wry smile, she said, "This is the first time I've spoken so much in many years."

Fang Che felt dizzy and nodded repeatedly.

Analyzing over two hundred characters in one breath, and each one so detailed, it was as if the world had turned upside down for him. It was no easy task for Dongfang Sansan to speak so much.

But Fang Che truly felt Dongfang Sansan's urgency.

He was like someone who felt that time was running out, desperately arranging everything he wanted to arrange.

Just as he had said before: Today's meeting, the next meeting, is a distant dream! Every time the two met, they had to borrow the name of Heart Inquiry Road, and only through this channel could they ensure that no one else would know about their meetings.

The content of their conversations was absolutely confidential, and even the heavens didn't know what they had spoken about.

However, Fang Che couldn't keep walking Heart Inquiry Road forever.

He had already walked it twice, and if he needed to walk it again in the future, there might be a problem: With such suspicion, why not just eliminate or sideline him? Why keep bothering him?

So... this time, Heart Inquiry Road was the only time the two would meet for a long time after today.

It was also Dongfang Sansan's only chance to give instructions for a long time in the future.

Indeed, Fang Che's guess was correct.

"This is the fifth pot of tea."

Dongfang Sansan sighed, "It's quite fast... This pot of tea is called 'Qianqiu Daye Tea,' and it's the tea of the Guardians. Its other effects are not worth mentioning, but after drinking this cup of tea, the memories of the day of drinking tea will be especially profound."

"What a good thing!"

Fang Che's eyes lit up.

"It's a good thing. I deliberately kept it for you until the fifth pot of tea." Dongfang Sansan smiled slightly and said, "I think your head should be feeling like it's about to explode now."

"The Ninth Master is indeed a master strategist." Fang Che smiled.

This was the first time he was so eager to drink tea.

Because the amount of information poured into his mind was truly overwhelming.

He was genuinely afraid he would forget.

Dongfang Sansan smiled and began to brew the tea with even more care, even using her own spiritual energy to infuse the spiritual tea. After a long while, the first cup of tea was finally filled.

Fang Che was almost impatient to drink it all in one go.

After drinking the cup, he felt a clear and strange sensation: As the tea's medicinal power slowly dispersed, the conversations and everything discussed today seemed to be like mud and sand in a flowing river, slowly settling down.

Forever imprinted here.

This was a perceivable change.

Fang Che's eyes lit up, and he emptied his mind, slowly allowing the memories to settle.

When he felt it was enough, he drank another cup.

Dongfang Sansan quietly watched as Fang Che closed his eyes in front of her, settling his memories. Her eyes held unspoken admiration.

He had originally wanted to give Fang Che a heart-cleansing experience, just like the taste of a spiritual fruit. But now, he didn't need it.
