The immortals of the two worlds started from farming and refining pills.

Li Qing took the token from Sang Yuwan and sensed it with his spiritual sense. He was surprised: "Is he a cultivator from Dale Country?"

Niu Xinjing was also quite curious: "It is said that the court of Dale Kingdom dominates the whole country and takes the path of human rule. All cultivators are under its control."

"How come this Immortal actually has time to come to our Great Zhou to seek the Heavenly Gang Qi to use in his practice? Isn't he afraid of being held accountable by the court?"

Sang Yuwan shook her head: "Although the Great Leyun Dynasty is overbearing, it is not so unreasonable. Moreover, cultivation requires resources. If we don't let people find them on their own, can we let the court provide them?"

Li Qing smiled and bowed to him: "Thank you, Brother Sang, for helping me. In my early years of traveling, I only visited the two countries of Dayin and Dayu. This time I will take this opportunity to go to Dale to see the customs and people."

After chatting and discussing with Sang and Niu for a while, Li Qing took the token, left Yanglong Lake, and went straight to Dale.

The three kingdoms of Dayin, Dayu and Daye were all located to the east of Zhou.

In comparison, Dale is located in the southeast and is also closer to the territory of the Southern Demonic Path.

Li Qing traveled on the wind all the way, and after taking two flying boats, he finally arrived at the border between the two countries.

The two tall immortal cities stood opposite each other with a majestic aura. Even Li Qing could feel a powerful aura pressing towards him when he saw them.

There are two immortal cities, the one on the Great Zhou side is called "Changyan Immortal City".

Because there is a fire vein underground that gushes out all year round, turning into flames that surround the fairy city, it can be considered a peculiar "moat".

The fairy city of Dale opposite is relatively peaceful, without any unusual phenomena, but it has been fighting with the fairy city of Changyan for hundreds of years without being defeated, which shows its strengths and weaknesses.

Li Qing got off the flying boat in a low profile, not wanting to alarm the Jindan Zhenren who was guarding Changyan Immortal City.

Unexpectedly, just as he arrived at the gate of the fairy city, a red flame rose from the city, passed over the tall gate tower, and landed in front of Li Qing.

The person who came was a Jindan immortal with red eyebrows and hair, wearing a yellow robe. "I am Zhao Xuan, the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. May I ask your honorable name, fellow Taoist? What brings you to my Changyan Immortal City?"

When the monks who had disembarked with Li Qing saw this, they were shocked. They didn't expect that they would have the good fortune to ride on the boat with a real person?
Li Qing smiled and bowed to the other party: "Master Zhao is polite! I am Li Qing, the master of Kunpeng Blessed Land in Xuefeng Lake. I would like to borrow your passage today to go to Dale."

Zhao Xuan was slightly stunned, and looked at Li Qing inconspicuously: "So it's Fellow Daoist Li! I have heard of your name for a long time. Since you are in Changyan Immortal City today, why don't you come to my cave to have a chat?"

Li Qing smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you then!"

After that, under the guidance of Zhao Xuan, the two entered the fairy city and went straight to the core third-level spiritual vein cave.

Although Changyan Immortal City has been adjacent to the Earthly Evil Fire Vein all year round, the core third-level spiritual vein is covered by a formation.

The blazing fire was channeled and transformed by the formation, turning into a magma lotus pond in front of the cave.

There grows a special kind of lotus in the pond, with orange leaves and red flowers that resemble flames and grow brightly.

Zhao Xuan pointed at the fire lotus and asked with a smile: "I often hear people say that Fellow Daoist Li is an expert in the art of spiritual plants. I wonder if you can recognize this precious lotus in my pond?"

Li Qing actually knew what was going on, but he still pretended to think for a moment before answering, "Daoyou, this fire lotus has an extraordinary aura. Could it be the legendary Earth Flame Heart Lotus?"

Zhao Xuan was very pleased: "Fellow Daoist, you are indeed very knowledgeable. This is the third-level top-grade spiritual plant, the Earth Flame Heart Lotus!"

He led Li Qing to admire the lotus pond for a long time before they walked through the gate and along the corridor to the tea room where he met guests.

The two were seated separately.

Zhao Xuan clapped his hands and signaled the maid to serve tea: "I have had this Earth Flame Heart Lotus for a hundred years and have used it to brew a cup of fine tea. Today, I would like to invite you to taste it." Li Qing showed an expectant look: "You actually brew tea with such a treasure. You are really very elegant."

Soon, a maid brought a bud of the Earth Flame Heart Lotus and placed it on the tea table.

Li Qing scanned it with his spiritual sense and realized that the flower bud was not newly picked from the lotus pond. There was a small handful of green tea leaves wrapped inside.

Zhao Xuan waved his hand, asked the maid to leave, and personally opened the flower buds one by one, revealing the pink lotus pods and the tea leaves on the lotus pods that were as thin as silver needles.

He introduced with great interest: "Look, fellow Daoist, this strand of Silver Needle Tea is the first new bud of this year from the thousand-year-old Queen Mother of Tea tree in Xuan Palace."

"After I prepared it, I wrapped it with the Earth Flame Heart Lotus and roasted it with the remaining fire. This is how I got this handful of tea."

"I am very happy to meet you today, fellow Taoist. I would like to invite you to drink tea with me and taste my cooking skills."

Li Qing was surprised. After all, it was the first time they met, and the other party taking out such precious tea as a treat was a bit too enthusiastic.

But he did not want to spoil the fun, and said with a smile: "In this case, I must taste it carefully and live up to my fellow Taoist's kindness."

Zhao Xuan smiled slightly, flicked his finger and blew a breeze, which carried a handful of silver needles and fell into the jade pot, making a crisp sound.

He then snapped his fingers, and a stream of spiritual water flowed out from the void, slowly soaking the tea leaves in the pot.

This spiritual water is also very special. It belongs to the water element but also has the fire element. As soon as it enters the cup, there is a wisp of tea fragrance, accompanied by a light mist, rising up.

The tea fragrance and mist blended together, swaying slightly, and turned into a fire lotus. It rotated three times on the mouth of the pot before suddenly dissipating.

"Pattering..."

Zhao Xuan picked up the jade pot, divided the tea into two jade cups, and handed one to Li Qing: "Daoyou, please!"

Li Qing was not polite either. He picked up the jade cup and put it under his nose to sniff it. He could feel the fragrance of tea and lotus intertwined, the sweet aroma was refreshing and left a lasting aftertaste.

He took a sip and felt his mouth water. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Good tea!"

This tea is also very special. It is clearly made from the Earth Flame Heart Lotus and soaked in fire spirit water. It is really refreshing when you hold it in your mouth.

He swallowed slowly, feeling a chill running down his throat that turned into a hot torrent in his stomach.

Li Qing was suddenly shocked: "This spiritual tea is actually a rare treasure that combines water and fire?"

Zhao Xuan looked pleased: "Friend Li, how about my tea? Is it to your liking?"

Li Qing was silent for a moment before praising again: "Good tea, good lotus, good technique! This pot of tea of ​​yours is truly extraordinary."

Zhao Xuan smiled slightly: "My fellow Daoist and I hit it off right away. I would like to give you this Flame Lotus Heart Tea as a gift. I wonder if you are willing to accept this favor?"

Li Qing knocked lightly on the table: "How do you know that I want this spiritual object that combines water and fire? And, what do you want from me when you offer me such a valuable gift?"

He didn't believe in the idea of ​​knowing each other at first sight.

Zhao Xuan clapped his hands and laughed, "Fellow Daoist Li is indeed a man of few words! As for how I got the information, I'm sorry I can't reveal it."

"And what I am asking for is nothing more than to borrow the magical power of fellow Taoist to help me cultivate a spiritual plant." (End of this chapter)
