夜幕低垂，皎潔的月灑在雲山上，靜謐得仿佛世界都在沉睡。在這片安瀾之中，一座古古香的亭子若若現，宛如世外桃源。

亭中，姜彥博獨自而坐，月過窗戶灑在他的臉上， casting long, faint shadows. He fidgeted with the edge of his robe, his breath visible in the cold air as he awaited the arrival of someone who had become unforgettable.

"蘇顧問，你可明白了？" His voice trembled slightly, the echo of the words hanging in the air like a fragile promise. "My destiny is now entwined with this chaotic world, and I can no longer remain aloof."

"The moment you appeared, you became my only chance to turn the tide!" His gaze was steely, his eyes reflecting a mix of desperation and hope. "Your cooperation is the key to reversing the fates!"

Su Ming, who had been silent up to this point, did not engage in sarcasm as he usually would. The hexagram that Jiang Wei had presented held a weight that even he felt pressing down on his shoulders.

"You say you want to cooperate with me, but how exactly do you propose we work together?" Su Ming's voice held a hint of the absurdity he felt, as if he were about to be handed the keys to the kingdom.

"Simple!" Jiang Wei replied with a sharpness that belied his previous contemplative demeanor. "Support me, make me stronger! With my abilities, I will seek opportunities for you, avoid danger, and seek good luck! The stronger you become, the greater my chances of survival!"

Su Ming's expression shifted from confusion to disbelief. How had he, the last person anyone would expect, become the recipient of such a powerful ally? And not only that, but it was so主 offered to him?

Could it really be a free lunch from heaven?

"Alright! Should we get something in writing or something?" Su Ming didn't even hesitate. He had the bakery delivered, and this seemed too good to be true.

Even though it was a free lunch from heaven, he wanted a slice of it. Jiang Wei's abilities were akin to those of legendary strategists like Jiaziyang, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang, and Liu Bojun! A top-tier assistant, and without needing three visits to the pavilion!

And he had been offered this without any strings attached!

"Is there actually a pie in the sky?" Su Ming even thought about making a contract, just to be on the safe side.

Jiang Wei's current abilities, it seemed, were like those of a matchless assistant—those who require no invitation and no persuasion!

......

After a while, they returned to the pavilion. This "cooperation" was more like love at first sight! Tea, weChat, and life chats all followed. They grew closer in an instant.

Tea, weChat, and life chats all followed. They grew closer in an instant. Su Ming even opened two new tabs in his book of secrets.

【Materials Tab】

——————————

【Current number of Materials Tabs: 9】

【Spiritual Grass】

【Category: Wood, Spiritual】

【Commonly found in valleys rich in spiritual energy, nurtured by the Qi of heaven and earth. Its leaves are slender like silk, shimmering with a faint golden hue, and the stems are supple and filled with rich spiritual energy. The grass emits a unique fragrance that soothes the soul. The leaves of the spiritual grass can be made into spiritual immortal tea, which is delicious and beneficial, and is also a good medicinal material.】

"Extraction of the Tab Reward!" Su Ming did not hesitate.

【Extraction of Spiritual Grass Tab, Spiritual +3!】

【Current Spiritual Attributes Tab: 3 (Yao Ming Ear, Blue Wave Grass, Spiritual Grass)】

【Activation of 1st-level spiritual attribute tab effect!】

【Host's spirit recovery rate increased by 10%, ability use CD reduced by 10%!】

"This effect is quite good!" Su Ming's eyes lit up. This was like getting a blue aura!

Wouldn't he be like playing Infinity Mode if he upgraded the spiritual attribute tabs to a higher level? Unending blue, with no cooldown time, casting spells endlessly and uninterrupted!

Too fierce, too heavenly!

......

Following this, Su Ming opened a new drink tab！

【Drink Tab】

——————————

【Spiritual Immortal Tea】

【Based on spiritual grass, with the essence of the sun and moon, and the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, meticulously prepared with Taoist secrets.】

“The tea is golden in color, with a pungent fragrance that is refreshing and invigorating. Taking a sip leaves a lingering aftertaste that is unforgettable. Its effects are extraordinary, not only awakening the mind and purifying the soul, but also harmonizing internal spirit Qi and accelerating cultivation. For cultivators, it is an indispensable elixir. Drinking this tea can extend life, strengthen the physique, and is a rare treasure for cultivators.”

"This spiritual immortal tea is indeed a good thing. Not only is it an enjoyment in life, but it is also an assistant in cultivation."

Life should be like this! Enjoy while getting stronger, deliciously satisfying!

Su Ming felt a sense of satisfaction, pouring another cup for himself and Jiang Wei to share.

"Extraction of Tab Reward!"

He was eager, as he had no idea what rewards this type of tab would bring.

【Extraction of Spiritual Immortal Tea Tab, obtain the reward of spiritual immortal tea production recipe!】

【Integration Function Now Opened!】

【Every 10 points of integration can exchange for one cup of spiritual immortal tea!】

"Um?" Su Ming's eyes lit up.

As soon as the voice of the tab was heard, the production process of the tea entered his mind automatically.

He had learned it!

But what was most interesting was the newly appearing integration function!

"Every 10 points to exchange for a cup of tea water? It doesn't sound like much of a profit."

But forget not, just in case there are other effects for other drinks in the future?

If all of them could be obtained through exchange, that would be amazing—

Because of integration, he wouldn't need to consume raw materials, and he would also save the繁瑣 production procedures!

Remember, he was told by Jiang Wei that he couldn't do without people before—the process of making this tea was indeed very complicated, not something that could be done just by boiling it with water!

Before, Jiang Wei's words were not lies!

"But shouldn't we also expand the way to obtain these points?" He hadn't received any points for a long time!

At the moment, the only way he could get points was to kill creatures of various levels, which was too limited.

New methods, still waiting for him to explore!

......

After several more minutes, Su Ming and Jiang Wei had drained their cups of tea, not a drop left.

Perhaps in the future, as the recovery of the spiritual Qi would be even more extensive, this type of tea would become more common.

But for now, this was truly a drop of tea per drop!

"Jiang Taoist, do you still have any spiritual grass?" Su Ming's gaze was intent, his eyes reflecting a mix of greed and hope.

Looking at Su Ming's unscrupulous gaze, Jiang Wei shook his head. His smile was tinged with a touch of helplessness.

"Su Advisor, if I had any spiritual grass, I wouldn't be stingy with it." He stood up, hands behind his back, his gaze piercing through the night, fixated on the distant mountains. "Su Advisor, the reason I chose to meet you here was actually two-fold." "The first, as you said, I have divined the existence of spiritual grass in this Yunyun Mountain." "In the past two days, I have scoured the entire mountain with my divination techniques, which is how I found this pot of tea." "But there's another reason." Su Ming nodded, indicating for Jiang Wei to continue. "As for the second reason, it is the Yunyun Mountain itself!" "At first, this place was not called Yunyun Mountain!" "It was, rather, Yinyin Mountain!" "Hiding everything, even the clouds and rain are hidden within,遮天蔽日!"
