C2 A Great Opportunity Has Descended from the Sky!

Upon noticing Miss Duan Rou's furrowed brow, the maid assumed that Jee Faang had been discourteous.

"How dare you! Our young lady is Duan Rou of the illustrious Duan family! What is that you're offering her to drink?"

Jee Faang was taken aback, wondering if all maids from noble families were this fiery.

What was the issue with the tea he had prepared? Was it not appealing, or had it lost its aroma?

Even my cat enjoys it, for heaven's sake.

"Show some respect!"

Having dismissed the maid, Duan Rou then accepted the teacup from Jee Faang with due reverence.

The tea within was a luminous green, shimmering like a crystal.

Such an exquisite tea was a first for Duan Rou.

She took a tentative sip, her eyebrows lifting in surprise.

How could it taste so exquisite?

It was fragrant, sweet, and left a lingering scent.

Duan Rou savored the warm tea as it slid down her throat, spreading a comforting warmth throughout her body.

And then, in the next instant, a surge of Spiritual Qi began to diffuse within her, cleansing her limbs and bones.

Spiritual Qi in the tea?

This delightful tea was actually Spiritual Tea?

Her lovely almond eyes widened in astonishment.

That single sip of Spiritual Qi could rival some of the lower-grade immortal herbs and sacred fruits.

Without further thought, Duan Rou eagerly gulped down the tea.

Gulp... Gulp...

She finished it all in one breath.

Jee Faang watched, his expression suggesting she was as unrefined as a beast at a trough.

He eyed her with a hint of skepticism. It was as if she had never experienced anything like this before. It was just tea, after all.

Are you truly a cultivator?

Duan Rou realized she might have overreacted. At that moment, a fiery sensation erupted in her dantian, and her inner energy burst forth with intensity.

The once-blocked meridians gave way as if they were crumbling twigs. She then perceived the Spirit of The Tao.

Mysteries that had once baffled her suddenly became clear.

The barrier that had hindered her progress shattered in an instant.

She had ascended!

Duan Rou had successfully completed her Foundation Establishment.

Ah?!

How could this be possible?

Her talent was exceptional, nurtured by her family from a young age with all their resources. Yet, for the past eight years, she had been stuck at the Qi Refinement Stage, unable to progress.

Duan Rou's father had even consented to a marriage with the Qian Family, hoping that dual cultivation would help her reach the Foundation Establishment.

Previously, the Foundation Establishment had seemed like an insurmountable obstacle to her.

But now, with just a cup of warm tea, she had actually made the breakthrough!

A single cup of tea had shattered the eight-year impasse and propelled her into Foundation Establishment!

If word of this got out, it would surely send shockwaves throughout the entire Immortal World.

Duan Rou stared at the empty teacup in her hands, her gaze tinged with confusion. After a moment of contemplation, her eyes widened in amazement.

This tea was not only imbued with Spiritual Qi but, more crucially, it concealed the Spirit of The Tao.

The so-called Spirit of The Tao represents the enlightenment and aspiration one seeks on the path of the Tao.

Guided by the sweet aroma of the tea towards understanding...

Duan Rou turned her attention to Jee Faang sitting across from her.

Suddenly, Jee Faang seemed enigmatic and profound.

"Miss? Is something the matter?"

The maidservant, noticing her mistress's unusual behavior, gently called out to her.

"Excuse me, did you brew this tea?"

Jee Faang nodded. "I was in a hurry, so I brewed it quickly. Is there an issue with it?"

Could this refined young man have really brewed a tea infused with the Spirit of The Tao?

But there was no one else in the shop, so it must have been his doing.

It now made sense why she felt this place was different from the moment she entered; every detail was thoughtfully designed, full of deep significance and charm.

So that was the Spirit of The Tao!

With this realization, Duan Rou seemed to suddenly piece everything together.

The man before her was certainly not as simple as he appeared. He couldn't possibly be just an ordinary mortal.

After all, how could an ordinary mortal brew such a tea, rich with the Spirit of The Tao?

Duan Rou had heard of many sages who, weary of conflict, sought solace in contemplation or chose to live hidden amongst the hustle and bustle of the city.

Could the individual before her also be a master of such high caliber?

With this thought, Duan Rou's gaze towards Jee Faang was filled with even greater reverence.

She brought her hands together in a gesture of respect. "Thank you for your assistance, esteemed elder!"

Jee Faang was taken aback for a moment. It was merely a cup of tea; what was all this talk of assistance?

This young lady was exceedingly courteous.
