As the two of them stood still, the thunder at the center of the black clouds hung over the bare yellow soil.Just then, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl descended from the black clouds and struck the yellow soil directly.In an instant, the sky suddenly lit up as bright as day, and the sound of the thunder was so loud it felt like tons of explosives detonating right next to their ears, deafening them.Along with this lightning bolt, the heavy clouds that had been building up for a long time released a torrential downpour, with rainwater forming continuous lines from the sky to the ground.Charlie and Vera had nowhere to hide and were completely drenched from head to toe in an instant.Despite being soaked, Vera ignored it and hurried toward the patch of yellow soil where the Mother of Pu’er Tea had failed to overcome her tribulation.Charlie, taken aback by her actions, shouted, “It’s dangerous, don't go!”As he tried to pull Vera back, she showed no signs of retreat. She
At this moment, Vera's thoughts were focused entirely on the sapling in front of her. She knelt on the ground and looked at the sapling without blinking with a look of excitement on her face.Charlie, who was standing by her side, looked at the lush sapling, utterly perplexed.Charlie felt like his brain circuits weren't quite enough. He couldn't understand why after a heavy rain, all traces of the rainwater had vanished without a trace.The nine years of compulsory education he had received only left him with a few words in his mind at this moment: ‘This isn't scientific. This isn't scientific at all.’ He looked all over himself, from head to chest, from chest to back, from back to ankles. He even couldn't resist taking off his shoes and touching the insides of his shoes as well. However, everywhere his fingers touched was completely dry, without a trace of him having been exposed to the rain at all. The same went for Vera.Charlie vividly remembered that Vera's hair was somew
Charlie said seriously, “I think cultivation can also be explained scientifically. It's just that our current level of technology hasn't grasped the principles behind it yet. Reiki is just a higher form of energy, like atomic energy. When people hadn't mastered it, they found it incredible. Presumably, at that time, no one would believe that a kilogram of nuclear fuel could release energy equivalent to several thousand tons or even millions of kilograms of coal. Reiki might be a form of invisible energy similar to nuclear fuel.”Vera smiled and said earnestly, “What you said makes sense. Perhaps Reiki is indeed as you say, another higher level of energy that most people haven't mastered or studied its principles.”Charlie continued, “Even Reiki still has to follow the law of conservation of energy, right? There was so much rain just now. The rain stopped, but the water is still there—that's energy conservation. But now, where did the water go?”With that said, Charlie continued, “Mo
Charlie was slightly taken aback, and he gave Vera a thumbs up, exclaiming, “Miss Lavor, you're truly bright! I pretty much understand what a Transcendent is now after hearing your explanation.”Charlie then looked at the sapling again and asked her, “Miss Lavor, are you sure this is the Mother of Pu’er Tea?”Vera nodded firmly and said, “Absolutely! Her aura is exactly the same as the Mother of Pu’er Tea's. In addition, taking all the coincidences just now into consideration, I can confirm without a doubt that this is definitely the Mother of Pu’er Tea.”Charlie nodded slightly and muttered, “If that's the case, does it mean the Mother of Pu’er Tea has become a Transcendent among the trees?” Vera didn't hesitate to say, “That's pretty much what it means, but the concept of Transcendents is just some rumors I've heard of before. I haven't had the chance to verify them. So, all of this is just my speculation.”Charlie nodded and squatted down beside her as he looked at the sapling
Charlie saw Vera's refusal written all over her delicate face, so he persuaded her, “Since we've already plucked the leaves, it will be a waste not to taste them. Besides, you're the only one who understands the Mother of Pu’er Tea. Simply relying on intuition isn't enough. You have to taste it to confirm for sure!”With that said, he handed one leaf to Vera's mouth and took the other one himself, saying, “Come, let's taste it together.”When Vera saw his insistence, she knew she wouldn’t be able to resist him, so she gave him a faint glare and said, “Fine, I'll taste it.”After saying that, she opened her red lips slightly and gently bit into the delicate green leaf.After seeing her eat it, Charlie also felt relieved and put his piece of leaf into his mouth before chewing it.He originally thought that this thing would just smell strongly of tea and should have a good taste, but he never dreamed that when he chewed on the green leaf and ingested it, it would release a small, con
Vera asked in surprise, “Young Master, are you going to take her away?”Charlie said firmly, “Of course! Aside from my reluctance to leave her here, wouldn’t it be a waste of such precious natural resources if she falls into the wrong hands or is dug up by someone who doesn't understand?”“But…” Vera hesitated, saying, “But she has been growing here for tens of thousands of years… This is her roots…”Charlie waved his hand and said, “No, no, no. The fact that she failed to overcome the heavenly tribulations after ten thousand years here proves that this place is not suitable for her. People can't fall in the same place twice, and it’s the same for trees as well. We need to find her a new place and take good care of her.”Vera asked, “Young Master, where do you think is an appropriate place to move her?”Charlie said, “I think the small courtyard at the top of Scarlet Pinnacle Manor is quite good. Let's dig her up and plant her by your hot spring pool. You understand how to cultiva
Vera achieved all her goals during her visit to Yorkshire Hill this time. She returned to Diggero, paid respects to her parents, and then returned to Heavenly Lake, where the Mother of Pu’er Tea had failed to overcome the tribulation in the past.Now that Charlie was suddenly saying that he wanted to leave, she didn't feel any regrets at all.Moreover, there was an unexpected gain during this trip to Yorkshire Hill. Previously, she had successfully challenged the limits under Fleur’s watchful eyes, and now, she had unexpectedly obtained a young sapling of the rejuvenated Mother of Pu’er Tea.However, when Charlie said he wanted to take the Mother of Pu’er Tea back to Aurous Hill, she felt particularly nervous. She initially thought the young sapling of the rejuvenated Mother of Pu’er Tea should continue to grow here, but Charlie's words moved her. In any field, if one insisted on following the same path of failure, the result would only be failure. The previous tribulation of the
Upon seeing that Charlie had made a decision, Isaac quickly said, “Young Master, since that's the case, let me confirm the itinerary with the private jet company now. Is there anything else you need me to do?”Charlie replied, “No, that’s all. After you arrange everything for me, don't tell anyone about my return to Aurous Hill because I might only be returning for a day or two, and then I'll be heading out again. I won’t be meeting anyone when I go back.”Isaac didn't ask for reasons and promptly said, “Understood, Young Master!”Charlie initially did not plan to return to Aurous Hill so hastily. He had intended for Fleur to go to Mount Tason first while he accompanied Vera to stay in Yorkshire Hill for a few more days. After all, she had lived here since childhood but hadn't returned for over three hundred years. This homesickness might be something that others simply couldn't understand or experience.When Fleur was about to leave Mount Tason, he would then return with Vera to A
