After I drank the cup of tea on the table, I immediately felt a powerful surge of heat within me. The dried-up magical energy in my Dantian quickly returned to a saturated state, and I even experienced an illusion that my cultivation had improved slightly.
Seeing the shock on my face, Shen Chunlan revealed a satisfied smile. He poured me another cup of tea and said with a laugh, "Haha! Jiang Ling, this tea is a specialty from the Ghost Realm. I named it Enlightenment Tea!"
"Enlightenment Tea?" I frowned, feeling even more confused, as it was the first time I had heard this name.
Shen Chunlan took a sip of the Enlightenment Tea, then continued, "Deep in the Ghost Realm grows a type of Yinling Flower that only blooms once every three years. By chance, I picked a few petals and brewed them with Yin River Water to create this Enlightenment Tea!"
"The Yinling Flower and Yin River Water are both pure yin substances. If we were to consume them directly, it would only harm us living beings! However, when they are brewed into tea, they transform into the Enlightenment Tea that can enhance cultivation!"
Shen Chunlan patted my shoulder with a proud expression and said, "Haha! Jiang Ling, this Enlightenment Tea is my invention. Aren't we quite talented?"
As the saying goes, one should not bite the hand that feeds them. I quickly drank the Enlightenment Tea in my hand and nodded eagerly, saying, "Yes! Shen Chunlan, you truly are talented; I am in complete admiration of you!"
"Hehe, um, could you pour me another cup of Enlightenment Tea?" I said somewhat shyly while scratching my ear and handing him my empty cup.
Shen Chunlan picked up the teapot to refill my cup but only managed to pour half before running out. He awkwardly cleared his throat and said with some embarrassment, "Ahem! Jiang Ling, when I summoned that Ten Thousand Year Corpse King earlier, I consumed too much magical energy and ended up drinking several cups. This pot of Enlightenment Tea was made from the remaining Yinling Flower I had on me; it's the last pot. We'll have to wait until we can gather new Yinling Flowers before we can drink more Enlightenment Tea!"
"Alright!" I shook my head. Although I felt some regret, there was nothing to be done about the lack of Enlightenment Tea. However, as long as we gathered enough Yinling Flowers and Yin River Water, there would definitely be another opportunity to enjoy it.
I dismissed my regrets and downed the last half cup of Enlightenment Tea in one go. Savoring the taste, I licked my lips and asked, "Shen Chunlan, when will the Yinling Flower bloom? Can we go gather some right now?"
Upon hearing my serious question, Shen Chunlan's expression turned solemn. He shook his head and replied bitterly, "Jiang Ling, there are many types of Yinling Flowers deep in the Ghost Realm, each with different blooming times. Although some Yinling Flowers are currently blooming, they are occupied by others. It will be very difficult to snatch them from deep within the Ghost Realm!"
I heard Shen Chunlan's words and replied somewhat unconvinced, "Shen Chunlan, come on! The two of us are definitely strong enough to deal with two Eternal Ghost Kings. Plus, I have a group of brothers outside. Isn't that enough to fight for the Yinling Flower?"
Shen Chunlan glanced outside the Valley, rolled his eyes at me, and coldly snorted, "Hmph! Your group of brothers is nothing but a bunch of Trash Fish. I could wipe them out in minutes. Taking them into the depths of the Ghost Realm would just make them cannon fodder; they wouldn't be of any use at all!"
Looking into my eyes, Shen Chunlan spoke calmly, "Jiang Ling, with our combined strength, we can barely protect ourselves in the depths of the Ghost Realm. However, there are many forces vying for the Yinling Flower. There are often hundreds of Millennium Ghost Generals fighting, and experts at the level of Eternal Ghost Kings appear frequently. So our chances of successfully claiming the Yinling Flower are quite slim!"
After hearing Shen Chunlan's analysis, I began to calm down. I had originally thought that with the power of the Dog Treasure, I could make a name for myself in the depths of the Ghost Realm. Now it seemed I was still too young.
I shook my head and glanced at the teapot on the table. Suddenly, I noticed something strange. Furrowing my brow, I looked up at Shen Chunlan and asked in confusion, "Wait a minute! Shen Chunlan, where did you get the Yinling Flower you have?"
Shen Chunlan pointed to a nearby wooden house and spoke with reverence, "Jiang Ling, the Yinling Flower I have was obtained alongside that expert inside from deep within the Ghost Realm!"
"About a week ago, we teamed up and fought fiercely to snatch over twenty Yinling Flowers. However, during the struggle, one of my Ten Thousand Year Corpse Kings was destroyed, and that expert was severely injured. We had no choice but to return to this Valley to heal."
"We originally planned to wait until our injuries healed before heading back into the depths of the Ghost Realm. But then you suddenly appeared here and wanted to venture into the depths as well. So I decided to test your strength a bit." A smile appeared on Shen Chunlan's face as he patted my shoulder and said with a grin, "Now it seems your strength barely meets our standards, but you seem like a naive rookie who knows nothing about the depths of the Ghost Realm. No worries; as long as you stick with us in the future, you'll be just fine!"
"Uh?" Seeing Shen Chunlan's smile and hearing his words gave me a familiar feeling; it was similar to what Xu Qing and his group had said before. An awkward smile crept onto my face as I suddenly felt like I had boarded a pirate ship.
Clearing my throat awkwardly, I asked, "Ahem! Shen Chunlan, I've heard from my subordinates that the master of this Valley is a Millennium Ghost General. Is my information incorrect?"
Shen Chunlan nodded and then quickly shook his head. He explained, "The previous master of this Valley was indeed a Millennium Ghost General, but we drove him away. Now we are the masters of this Valley!"
"I see!" I nodded without doubting Shen Chunlan's words because such territorial disputes happen frequently in the Ghost Realm; I'd heard Xu Qing mention it many times before.
I turned my gaze back to the wooden cabin not far away and curiously asked, "Shen Chunlan, what kind of expert is inside that cabin?"
