Chapter 353: The Best Tea in the World, Little Immortal Appears
“Whoosh!”
The array formation lines were perfectly outlined by the power of $, and Chen Changsheng nodded in satisfaction.
Since Niansheng visited the Qiongqi Tomb, Chen Changsheng’s life had greatly changed.
Although he still stayed in the Qiongqi Tomb fiddling with his own things, he no longer felt as lifeless as before.
“Chen Changsheng, when are we going out?”
“I’ve been here for so long, I want to go out and play.”
Glancing at the complaining Baize beside him, Chen Changsheng’s lips curled slightly but didn’t respond.
Baize was a auspicious beast, highly sensitive to the trends of the world.
Back then, he desperately searched for the Qiongqi Tomb because he sensed a great calamity approaching.
Slipping out secretly during his sleep was because he was subconsciously protecting himself from the calamity.
If Baize hadn’t gone out, the others would have certainly disturbed him.
Given his personality, he would have participated in such matters regardless.
Facing a calamity that could shatter heaven and earth, he might not even get to eat the fruits of victory.
It was precisely because of Baize’s outing that he managed to pass through it unscathed, without any perception.
Seeing Baize now making a fuss about going out, it indicated that this world was welcoming peace again. Furthermore, judging by its actions, this would surely be an unprecedented era of prosperity.
Seeing Chen Changsheng ignoring him, Baize’s eyes rolled, seemingly plotting something sinister.
“Whoosh!”
Baize suddenly stood up while planning, the previous lazy expression gone.
His nose twitched constantly, as if sniffing for something.
“Chen Changsheng, someone has come. This smell feels somewhat familiar.”
Baize quickly said, his tail swaying involuntarily.
Seeing Baize’s state, even Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
This fellow had followed him for so long; besides wagging his tail when seeing him, he showed no such behavior towards others.
“Hehehe!”
“Auspicious beast indeed, your perceptiveness is truly unparalleled!”
A laugh came from afar.
A Taoist priest in robes walked over.
Though he wore Taoist attire, there was no trace of a Taoist on him.
Instead, the loose clothing and casual demeanor gave off a carefree impression.
Both man and beast sized each other up, with the other doing the same to Chen Changsheng.
After a long moment, the Taoist laughed, “Come now, don’t stare at me like that, it’s embarrassing!”
“We still have some connection, treating me so formally makes me uncomfortable. If you keep this up, I won’t open my mouth later.”
Hearing this, Baize immediately spoke up beside him.
“Foul Taoist, who are you?”
“When did we ever have any connection? Don’t just assume…”
“Little Black, he really does have some connection with us.”
Before Baize could finish, Chen Changsheng interrupted him.
Following that, Chen Changsheng brought out a tea table and extended his hand, “All guests are welcome, please sit.”
Seeing this, the Taoist did not decline and sat down gracefully.
Pouring a pot of fragrant tea, Chen Changsheng handed a cup to the Taoist and continued, “Little Black, I should have told you about your origins.”
“You were brought back from a Bronze Ancient Palace, which means someone deliberately left you there.”
Hearing this, Baize looked at the Taoist in surprise.
“Do you mean to say he left me where?”
“Quite likely. At that time, you were still a dead egg, with a line of words and a handprint beside it.”

“Though there’s no specific information, reading the characters, I can still discern some things.”
“Clearly, coming here so boldly, he must have been prepared.”
“Thinking it over, the only person I haven’t met who could talk to me about friendship is him.”
“Hehehe!”
After hearing Chen Changsheng’s analysis, the Taoist laughed happily.
“The Master of the Emperor is indeed meticulous.”
“Let me introduce myself, I am Ge Hong. If you don’t mind, you can call me ‘Little Immortal.'”
“I was supposed to come looking for you some time ago, but that little girl kept pushing everyone away. It was quite a headache!”
“If that little girl hadn’t left, I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet you.”
Facing Little Immortal’s words, Chen Changsheng slowly sipped his tea and said,
“Coming to find me, you’re either here to fight or seek help.”
“But your tone is too certain. Why do you think I’ll help you?”
“Just because I want you to help me.”
Saying this, Little Immortal put down his teacup and stared straight at Chen Changsheng.
“You know how much karma you have. You can’t possibly avoid repaying your debts.”
“Your failed martial arts, the treasures given to you by the Ascension Road, and Baize—these connections, do you acknowledge them?”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng nodded and said, “I acknowledge these connections.”
“But from what you say, the Failed Immortal Sage is also with you?”
“Yes.”
“And among us, there’s not just the Failed Immortal Sage, but also that little girl.”
“So that’s why. Was the brat Niansheng beat up by you?”
“Exactly.”
“What do I need to do?”
“Cleanup work, quickly organize this realm and restore stability.”
“You’re the best fit for this job. We couldn’t think of anyone else.”
Facing Little Immortal’s request, Chen Changsheng frowned.
“No, your tone of giving orders is very annoying.”
“It’s true I owe you some favors, but that doesn’t mean I’m obligated to serve you.”
“Can’t you be nicer?”
Hearing this, Little Immortal glanced at Chen Changsheng and smiled coldly.
“Why should I respect you when you look down on me?”
“I’ve dealt with Jade Emperor, Emperor Huangtian, Supreme Saint, and Fu Yao. They all speak highly of you.”
“Moreover, they often say that the bitter tea you planted is the best in the world.”
“Visiting you, you serve me this kind of tea. What’s your intention?”
“Can’t they drink it, so why can’t I?”
Chen Changsheng: “…”
Looking at Little Immortal’s serious expression, Chen Changsheng was completely speechless.
He couldn’t believe this guy would argue with him over bitter tea.
His lips twitched a few times, and he immediately replaced it with top-grade spirit tea, then brewed a pot of the bitter tea he had personally planted.
“Please taste the tea!”
Handing over a cup of tea, Little Immortal snorted proudly and picked up the teacup.
As the hot tea went down, Little Immortal’s face was filled with enjoyment.
“Wonderful!”
“As expected, it is indeed the best tea in the world.”
