Chapter 999: Rime Tea

Editor: Atlas Studios

Yu Su was stunned for a moment. She stopped at the door and did not walk in immediately. These words…

“Hehe, look at how petty you are. You’re already afraid before you even see the Great Elder, right? Let me tell you, you have to be respectful when you see the Great Elder. Otherwise, I’ll make you suffer!” The little Daoist boy threatened before rolling his eyes and walking in.

Yu Su took a deep look at the plaque before stepping into the pavilion. The pavilion was very big, and she only reached the staircase after walking for a long time.

“Let’s go upstairs!” The little Daoist boy stood by the stairs and pouted at Yu Su.

Yu Su nodded and calmed herself down. She walked up step by step. Just as she reached the second floor, she saw someone sitting with his back facing her.

She could smell the refreshing fragrance of tea. Rime tea was her master’s favorite tea.

Yu Su took a deep breath, walked over, and said to the Great Elder, “Junior Yu Su has come to disturb you. Please forgive me, Great Elder.”

“Have a seat.” The Great Elder’s voice was very calm. He did not even raise his head.

Yu Su was about to say something when she saw the Great Elder wave his hand. “Have some tea.”

Yu Su nodded. She picked up the teacup and smelled the fragrance of the tea first. This pure fragrance entered her nose and brought with it a fragrant taste of vitality!

After taking a sip, her eyes lit up. “The Rime Tea is rich and authentic.”

“Gao Hong, who loves tea as much as his life, is actually willing to let you taste this tea?” Only then did Yun Hai smile and look at Yu Su.

Yu Su’s heart skipped a beat and she immediately stood up. “Great Elder…” Could it be that the Great Elder was really related to her master?

That plaque was clearly her master’s handwriting and there was also this unique tea. Yu Su had also tried to stir-fry it herself, but she could not get the gist of it. The tea she made did not have such a refreshing fragrance at all. However, she had never heard of her master having any relationship with the people of Mount Zhongnan!

Yun Hai smiled and waved his hand. “Don’t call me Great Elder. It’s too distant. Call me Master Uncle like the other disciples.”

“Master Uncle Yun.” Yu Su greeted him respectfully before sitting down again.

Yun Hai stroked his beard and sized Yu Su up. Only then did Yu Su remember that she had disguised her face. With a wave of her hand, she used a cleaning spell to reveal her true face.

Yun Hai nodded. “Your eyes and brows are bright. You’re a good child.” Ever since he heard that Gao Hong had left, he hadn’t thought of his old friend for a long time.

Yu Su hesitated for a moment before asking, “Master Uncle Yun, do you know my master?”

“It’s more than just acquaintanceship… He and I are sworn brothers. I came to Mount Zhongnan to study because of my admiration for it. He has been cultivating Daoism below the mountain. We often correspond. He mentions you frequently.” Yun Hai’s eyes were filled with nostalgia. He and Gao Hong were half-brothers. Because of his father, the two of them were very interested in Daoist spells.

Ever since Yun Hai had broken through Level 5 Great Fulfilment, he had cut off all ties with the mortal world and no longer recalled his life before he entered the Dao.

Yu Su forced a smile. “After Master passed away, no one has mentioned him for a long time.”

It was as if… he had never existed. She often missed him, but there was nothing she could do. She could only let her memories fade bit by bit.

Yun Hai smiled kindly. “Good child, you’ve suffered. You can stay at Mount Zhongnan this time. With me around, you can just stay here well.”

Looking at the love in the Great Elder’s eyes, Yu Su seemed to have seen her master. Her heart ached, and she shook her head. “Senior Uncle, I still have many things to do in the mortal world. I’ll come and disturb you again after I’m done.”

“You’re just like your master. You’re just too soft-hearted.” Yun Hai shook his head helplessly. “I once said that if he interfered with karma again, he wouldn’t be able to protect himself. He might even be killed. He didn’t listen.”

Yu Su clenched her fists gently. She was that karma. Her master had saved her and gone against Peng Chan, which had even more alarmed Sacred Blood who was the mastermind behind him. Her master’s death had a lot to do with her.

Yu Su’s eyes were filled with sadness. “Senior Uncle, let’s not talk about my master first. What’s going on with the curse on Mount Zhongnan? Why are there so many people with that kind of tumor?”

As cultivators, they’ve long gone through the process of purifying their bodies and minds, reducing impurities. Such a disease is highly unlikely to occur, making it very strange. Moreover, curses typically have rules. One only falls victim if they break a taboo. Yet, there was no pattern for the people on the mountain.

Yun Hai shook his head. “I’ve been in seclusion for a long time. I’ve heard about this, but I don’t know the details.” He paused for a moment and continued, “Last month, I predicted that the cure for the curse will be in these three days, so I was waiting. I didn’t expect you to come.”
