Although there was only a single one.
Chu Ge, however, did not underestimate this single pill in the slightest.
Just by its placement, this sole pill, positioned at the center of all the jade bottles, its value was probably immeasurable!
“I won’t explain the effects of these pills one by one to you. There’s a jade slip in the storage ring that details their uses.”
“Remember, even within the Taihuang Holy Land, do not easily reveal these pills, or you might invite trouble.”
Shui Qianrou cautioned with a hint of seriousness.
As the one who refined them, she was perfectly clear about the effects and rarity of these pills.
It could be said that each one was extremely rare.
Unlike the common pills in the previous storage ring, each of these pills was priceless, with no circulation in the outside world.
Some of these pills could even attract the covetousness of Great Powers, their value immeasurable.
The pile of fifty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, which seemed substantial, was actually not enough to buy even one of these pills!
Hearing what Shui Qianrou said, Chu Ge’s assessment of the rarity of these pills involuntarily rose another level.
“Water Martial Aunt, this gift of gratitude is truly too heavy….”
Chu Ge felt as if it was burning his hands.
To be honest, he really didn’t feel that he had done anything during the Heaven and Earth Dao Manifestation that day.
It was more that those who gained something from it were already outstanding themselves, and thus seized the opportunity.
He could naturally accept small favors with equanimity.
But for someone like Shui Qianrou to bring out her most treasured possessions to repay him, Chu Ge truly felt a little overwhelmed.
He couldn't help but feel a desire to reciprocate in his heart.
Seeing Chu Ge’s pensive expression, Shui Qianrou thought he was still hesitating.
She then smiled and said, “Alright, don’t hesitate. Shishu says you deserve it, so you naturally deserve it. You can’t refuse a gift from your elders, you know.”
She even brought up her identity as a Shishu, but her expression showed no seriousness at all; instead, it was somewhat playful.
And for such a charming mature woman to feign such a girlishly cute demeanor, not only was there no awkwardness, but it also had a unique charm.
“Since Shishu has said so, Shizhi will naturally obey.”
“However, with such a generous gift from Shishu, Shizhi naturally must respond in kind.”
Chu Ge revealed a rather mysterious smile, and these words naturally piqued Shui Qianrou’s curiosity.
She wasn't thinking of getting anything from Chu Ge.
This gift today was truly from her heart; her gratitude and admiration for Chu Ge were all within it.
However, seeing Chu Ge so confident and mysterious,
Shui Qianrou’s interest was also piqued, and she wanted to see what this Shizhi, who had only been in the sect for half a month, could offer as a return gift.
“Let’s agree beforehand, if it’s something bestowed by Senior Sister Luo, and you then re-gift it to me, Shishu will be displeased. Shizhi should think carefully.”
Her eyes, shimmering like autumn water, stared at Chu Ge, her expression a mix of joy and playful reproach, truly exuding a thousand charms and ten thousand allurements.
Perhaps because she had fewer disciples by her side, she was more relaxed when interacting with Chu Ge.
Although they addressed each other as Shishu and Shizhi, there was no serious atmosphere that usually came with a difference in seniority; instead, it was exceptionally harmonious and natural.
Seeing that Shui Qianrou’s interest had already been piqued, Chu Ge naturally didn’t keep her in suspense any longer.
He spread his palm, and several thin leaves, glowing with a faint green light and interwoven with profound patterns on their surfaces, appeared in his hand, stacked neatly.
“This is….”
Shui Qianrou’s beautiful eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
“Shishu, does this item satisfy you?”
Chu Ge asked, meeting her eyes, which were filled with shock.
“A full five enlightenment tea leaves?!”
She couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes sparkling with light.
Satisfied?
Isn’t that obvious!
Absolutely satisfied!
Chu Ge smiled faintly, remaining silent, still quietly watching Shui Qianrou.
This beautiful woman, exuding mature charm, now had her lips slightly parted and her beautiful eyes wide, a sight that had a unique flavor of its own, which Chu Ge naturally appreciated quietly.
Amidst her shock, Shui Qianrou couldn't help but look at Chu Ge.
Meeting Chu Ge’s star-like eyes, she didn’t notice anything at first, but after a while, her heart couldn't help but start to beat faster.
She felt as if these eyes had a magical power, making her unwilling to avert her gaze.
A faint, almost imperceptible blush spread across her cheeks, and she dared not look any longer.
“Shizhi, are you truly going to give me these enlightenment tea leaves?”
enlightenment tea leaves indeed had a great effect on her.
These five enlightenment tea leaves could greatly accelerate her cultivation in the Great Power Realm, and it was even possible for her to make further Breakthroughs.
“Naturally.”
Chu Ge nodded in response.
Seeing Chu Ge answer so decisively, Shui Qianrou pondered for a moment before nodding and speaking.
“Then Shishu will shamelessly accept them.”
She picked up the five enlightenment tea leaves from Chu Ge’s hand, and as soon as they touched her, she felt the pure Dao Manifestation contained within the small leaves.
‘Compared to the enlightenment tea leaves in the Holy Land, their quality is even superior, and the Dao Manifestation contained within them is like they were just picked, without any loss whatsoever!’
Realizing this, she quickly sealed them up and properly placed them in her storage space, fearing the loss of even a trace of Dao Manifestation.
She had previously wondered if Chu Ge’s enlightenment tea leaves were bestowed by Luo Huangjun, but after feeling the Dao Manifestation within them, that thought was dismissed.
As a core member of the Holy Land and holding an important position, Shui Qianrou had seen enlightenment tea leaves before, though they were precious.
For example, there were more than ten pieces in the Taihuang Holy Land treasury.
However, the enlightenment tea leaves in the Holy Land had yellowish leaves, unlike Chu Ge’s, which were green and full of vitality.
Most importantly, the Dao Manifestation within them was vastly different!
Having obtained this treasure, she was naturally overjoyed. A brilliant smile bloomed on her face.
“Does Shishu think these are just a few tea leaves?”
Chu Ge spoke again, his tone mysterious.
Shui Qianrou paused, giving Chu Ge an annoyed glance and a small roll of her eyes.
“A few tea leaves? These are enlightenment tea leaves! They are treasures that even Great Powers would not hesitate to fight over. How do they sound like worthless fruits and vegetables when you speak of them?”
Chu Ge merely smiled at her words.
enlightenment tea leaves naturally wouldn't be reduced to the level of fruits and vegetables, but to him, they truly weren't that precious.
Chu Ge genuinely didn't feel any heartache giving a few away to others.
In the System space, there was still a small bag quietly lying there, containing no less than a hundred pieces.
Moreover, the efficacy of enlightenment tea leaves would diminish with repeated use, and he couldn't possibly use up a hundred pieces by himself.
