The Way of The Dao

"Is something wrong? The tea is not good?"

At Ling Tian's words, Di Ji quickly noticed it and asked anxiously, wanting to take the cup of tea from Ling Tian's hands and exchange it for another.

"It's not that, don't worry, the tea smells great." Ling Tian simply shook his head and told Di Ji not to worry, then he added, "It's just that this smell is not from simple herbs, it should be some kind of special herb or something else was added to it..."

Saying the last, Ling Tian frowned slightly as he couldn't distinguish the smell coming from the tea very well due to the faint aroma, but he knew that it should be some kind of special grass.

Ling Tian had obtained countless types of tea leaves and herbs, drinking tea from the simplest to the most special tea which was made from the purest essences of immortal grasses thousands of years old. Although this tea appeared to be simple, Ling Tian had a slight hunch from this faint but mild smell that the tea gave off.

"This tea is made from the leaves of fire and ice, which we found them near here and collected them." Di Ji's father soon spoke up, likewise thinking that Ling Tian might not have liked the smell of the tea. Although he wanted to give Ling Tian the best, they did not have the ability to do so.

"It really is the fire and ice leaf." Feng Ye said after taking a sip, acknowledging its origin. He also felt that there was something more to this tea when Ling Tian mentioned it.

Ling Tian nodded and his brow furrowed a little more before asking, "Where did you get these grasses from?"

"From a place not far from the village. We usually go there two or three times a week to gather and to hunt some animals." Di Ji's father replied.

"Young Master, these are the herbs I use to brew tea." Di Ji's mother approached and in her hands she held an ancient old jade container; inside were various leaves of different origins, while in seemingly separate spaces were beautiful red and blue leaves.

"Since my husband found these herbs, we have been using them for a long time because of their smell and taste."

Ling Tian directly took these two red and blue colored leaves and smelled them slowly, frowning.

"This shouldn't be their real smell..."

Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he noticed a strange peculiarity in the aroma; this type of grass is very common in both the cultivation world and the immortal world, even in the lower planes these can be easily found. But what caught Ling Tian's attention was that its aroma was very different from what he remembered: he could feel a slight warmth in the liquid that would turn cold as it passed down his throat when he took a sip of the tea, similar to the taste and sensation when drinking a wine...

"A cup of tea can attract senior brother's attention?" Although Feng Xiao drank tea, he would rather drink wine instead, so he found this moment somewhat strange.

"Looks like you won't have to search for a long time."

After an indeterminate amount of time, Ling Tian placed the tea cup on the table and looked at Feng Ye.

"It means..." Feng Ye looked blankly at Ling Tian for a few seconds before his gaze brightened!

"Uncle, could you tell us the place where you collected these leaves?"

Ling Tian stood up and asked Di Ji's father.

"Y-yes!"

Di Ji's father nodded with some stupefaction before explaining to Ling Tian how far away the place was.

"Then let's go." Ling Tian nodded and looked at Shin Wei and the others, "You guys stay here, we won't be long."

Ling Tian raised his arms and placed his hands on Feng Ye and Di Ji's father's shoulders, disappearing the next moment.

"Huh?"

Di Ji's younger siblings almost screamed in surprise and Di Ji's mother was stunned before turning to look at her daughter.

Di Ji wasn't surprised by this and looked at the place where Ling Tian was standing before disappearing...

The Space Law moved as the ripples of space in the air slightly rippled imperceptibly, showing three people appear in what was a huge valley.

"This feeling..."

Feng Ye was stunned after the slight dizziness quickly passed and he realized what had happened. He couldn't sense any special technique or powerful martial skill that Ling Tian might have performed, it was as if out of nowhere they were teleported! Feng Ye could confirm this because he had previously used the mysterious teleportation runes and it was almost the same feeling!

But how could Ling Tian do this without any special runes? Could it be that there was some special technique to be able to teleport? There weren't even any space ripples or anything different that could show the alteration of mobilizing the space!

'Could it be some immortal technique?' Feng Ye could only think of this.

Di Ji's father felt dizzy and nauseous, he was even close to vomiting if it wasn't because Ling Tian had covered him with his energy to reduce the effects of teleportation. Because he was a mortal person with no cultivation base, he was very susceptible and vulnerable to strongly feeling the effects of teleportation.

"A small apology for that dizzy feeling, it will soon pass..."

Ling Tian looked at Di Ji's father with a slight guilt, covering him with his aura so that his body would quickly relieve itself.

"There really is something different with these grasses."

Once Ling Tian's spirit sense covered the area, he slowly nodded as he focused his gaze on one of the grasses on the spot, looking at every part of the flower in detail.

A warm feeling and at the same time an almost imperceptibly cold sensation could be felt in the place from time to time. As if for a long while a light scorching flame surrounded his body and then a cold sensation that made the warmth in the body disappear embraced him, alternating with each other while mostly the warm sensation lasted longer than the cold.

"This place is where we come to collect the herbs my wife loves!"

Once the dizziness and nausea in Di Ji's father disappeared and he realized where they were, he exclaimed in shock. To get to this place clearly required more than three hours of walking, and now they had arrived in a single second!

Di Ji's father's gaze towards Ling Tian became more respectful and even a little fearful, knowing that this young man was a legendary cultivator and a very powerful one!

"Where is it?" Feng Ye looked all over the place, his gaze showing a hint of anxiety and desperation as he scanned the entire place with his spirit sense. He focused on every flower in the place, looking for one that stood out from the others or was unusual in this place.

"Don't you know that desperation will make you lose your mind and block your vision completely?" Ling Tian smiled with slight teasing before letting out a small chuckle, embarrassing Feng Ye by understanding this and realizing that he was being advised by a young man.

However, Feng Ye sighed and smiled bitterly saying, "Although there are very few things that make me feel despair, anything related to my family will always have my highest priority and worry." His expression showed his sincerity as he revealed his thoughts.

Ling Tian shook his head again with a small smile as if he was teasing Feng Ye a little, but inwardly, he also agreed with Feng Ye. If something happened to his loved ones, he wouldn't know how he might react... that pain was something he really didn't want to feel again....

Di Ji's father quietly listened to the conversation and did not know what the two of them were talking about, but as an experienced adult, he knew that these matters were private and he could not stick his nose into it. Therefore, he concentrated on gathering some aged grasses to bring back while Ling Tian and Feng Ye concentrated on what they had to do in this place.

"These herbs have been affected by another special grass, so it should be close to here."

Ling Tian spoke as he started walking towards the front, entering the valley of aromatic herbs and heading towards a small tiny lake, which in the middle was a small mound of earth sticking out and on its surface was a mysterious flower that gave off a warm and sometimes a little cold sensation. Its petals were combined by an intense red color and a crystalline blue, while its stem had the same colors.
