Chapter 3903 - A Perfect Match (95)
The next day, Yun Shishi and her husband went early to the mountains to pick tea leaves, taking with them the two little ones.
The Halfway Hotel was located on Mount Yuhuan, and on that mountain, there was a type of tea known as immortal tea, that grew on volcanic rock.
Legend had it that a long time ago, Lu Dongbin, Celestial Maiden He, and the rest of the eight immortals had toured the four seas to understand the mortal world after attending the Queen Mother's Peach Banquet.
The immortals passed over Yuhuan Immortal Mountain and saw the soldiers digging for stones to build a city. They said to the other immortals, "It's very difficult for them to dig stones to build a city. I'll go to the South Sea to borrow some stones to help them." Therefore, despite the objections of the other immortals, they went straight to the South Sea to borrow stones.
The next day, the eastern harbor turned white. On the white beaches, a large group of geese left the beach and headed for the Immortal Mountain.
Lu Dongbin chased away the geese, only to find that these geese were conjured by He Xiangu using the stones, to tease him. He was so angry that he rode away on a cloud.
Looking at the stones, Celestial Maiden He felt bad, so she casually sprinkled the Guanyin Bodhisattva's tea seeds on the stones and mountain. The tea leaves grew wherever the wind blew them. Soon, there was volcanic tea on the rocky mountain cliffs.
There was a filial son on the mountain. His mother had been ill for a long time and could not be cured. He went around looking for medicine. One day, he saw a patch of tea leaves on the mountain, so he took a chance and picked the tea leaves for his mother to drink. Unexpectedly, she felt much better the next day.
After that, everyone treated the tea leaves as immortal tea. It became popular and people drank it, whether they were sick or otherwise. Gradually, the villagers on the mountain developed the habit of drinking tea and the mountain village became the famous Longevity Village.
Naturally, this story could all be fabricated, but the reputation of the immortal tea was definitely not undeserved. Stone Peak Mountain was unique in its environment. The soil was rich in organic trace elements, including sulfur and potassium in high amounts. The unique geographical conditions, superior ecological environment, and excellent processing technology gave the volcanic tea a unique quality.
As a matter of fact, Yun Shishi wasn't here on a whim. Her husband had his eye on the hot spring resources and a large area of tea trees at Stony Peak Mountain. He wanted to invest in developing it into a tourist attraction and focus on building a resort. This time, he had come mainly for the purpose of a recce. Therefore, early in the morning, they set off in their small group and went to pick tea leaves.
Liang Yin was also particularly interested. Although she did not like tea, she was somewhat interested in picking tea leaves. Mu Yazhe had also asked Gong Jie along, however he was wrapped in a blanket and did not even stir. Eventually they left him alone.
By the time Hua Jin woke up, he realized that he had somehow rolled off the sofa onto the furry carpet on the floor beneath him. He had slept so soundly he didn't realize that he had fallen off the sofa.
Sensing the emptiness in the room, he cautiously felt his way to the door of Mu Yazhe's room, mistaking it for Gong Jie's. When he opened the door and saw the empty bed, he was overjoyed, thinking Gong Jie was gone!
"The Demon King is gone!" Just as he was cheering, a cold voice came from behind him.
"Who's the Demon King?!" Hua Jin stiffened and turned around with a dazed expression. Gong Jie's hair was slightly disheveled and he looked sullen.
"Eh…"
Gong Jie gave him an unfriendly stare.
The actor took half a step back and immediately tried to improvise. He gave a mudlark's standard smile. "You're awake, Eldest Young Master."
"Get lost."
"Alright." The actor stepped aside cooperatively as Gong Jie entered the bathroom and slammed the door behind him.
