I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 360

As the three purple Enlightenment tea leaves were added into the teapot, the four enlightenment tea leaves directly submerged in the spirit spring water.

The silver light and purple light shone on each other as the rich fragrance of tea permeated the whole lake, which made countless cultivators' mouths water.

Damn! Those are Enlightenment tea leaves, not just some common cabbages!

Just how many Enlightenment tea leaves does the Divine Firmament Saint possess that he can use them so casually!?

Even if the value of those purple Enlightenment tea leaves could not be compared to the silver Enlightenment tea leaves, they were also supreme treasures.

Wouldn't the Divine Firmament Saint regret wasting them so easily? Or was he preparing to continue selling the enlightenment tea?

The eyes of certain Heavenly Venerables and Supremacies were all shining brightly with hope.

Frankly speaking, they really could not pay the price of using Sage artifacts to trade for enlightenment tea.

However, with the Dao Imparting Tablet in front of them, they would definitely be willing to use Spirit artifacts to trade for the tea's weakened version since the tablet contained an imperial sutra!

To most people, the effects of the purple enlightenment tea were already enough. Thus, even if they drank the silver enlightenment tea, it would just be a waste.

Without enough innate talent, it would just be a waste no matter how powerful the enlightenment tea's effects were. As such, it was better to make the best use out of the weakened version.

“Your Highness, are you willing to sell these cups of enlightenment tea?

“I am an elder from the True Martial Sacred Ground, and we are on good terms with the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. Could I trade for a cup of enlightenment tea with a superior-grade Spirit artifact?

“What's so good about just a superior-grade Spirit artifact? I am Heavenly Venerable Crimson Black, and I'm willing to use two superior-grade Spirit artifacts to trade for a cup of enlightenment tea. I hope that you would be willing to.

“Divine Firmament Saint, are you lacking a contract mount? As long as you give me a cup of enlightenment tea, I'm willing to sign a contract with you and devote myself to you for 100 years without regrets!

“An ugly Urchin demon covered in hard spines like you actually wants to become the Divine Firmament Saint's mount? Saint, please pick me! We of the Clam race are the smoothest and definitely more comfortable to ride than an urchin!”

Countless passionate eyes were fixed on Shen Tian, especially those female demons'. Their eyes betrayed that their target was definitely not as simple as a cup of enlightenment tea.

Shen Tian was caught between laughter and tears.

He said helplessly, “Please don't make things difficult for me. The enlightenment tea I have here is indeed limited.

“The enlightenment tea has yet to be distributed to our sacred ground's disciples, so I really cannot promise to sell you any enlightenment tea. I hope that Seniors can be magnanimous enough to forgive me.”

After that, Shen Tian looked at Eunuch Gui.

“Uncle Gui, please make a list of our Divine Firmament disciples on Immortal Abode Island. Those that cultivate fire and lightning arts have priority to receive the tea while the other disciples come next.”

Once Shen Tian finished, everyone present was shocked!

What? The Divine Firmament Saint actually wants to directly distribute the enlightenment tea to those normal Divine Firmament disciples!?

One had to know that the enlightenment tea was something that was extremely tempting to even Heavenly Venerables. Under the current special circumstances, a cup of it was worth a Spirit artifact.

If Shen Tian brewed a few more cups, using these four enlightenment tea leaves to trade for a few hundreds of Spirit artifacts would not be impossible!

Was the Divine Firmament Saint really not tempted by such a fortune? Was it possible that the Divine Firmament Saint loved his sacred ground so deeply?

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was sitting cross-legged before the Dao Imparting Tablet, and the fourth sun slowly appeared behind him. His fluctuating lightning and heavenly aura was unprecedentedly powerful.

Meanwhile, those Heavenly Venerables and Supremacies all panicked!

“Saint, please reconsider!”

“The Imperial Sutra of Sun is obscure and inexplicable. Not everyone is suitable to cultivate it!”

“I'm willing to use a supreme-grade Spirit artifact to trade for a cup of enlightenment tea. Saint, please allow me to exchange for a cup for the sake of the good relationships between our sacred grounds.”

“Saint, maybe your fellow disciples would want a supreme-grade Spirit artifact more than this cup of enlightenment tea!”

The Sages were still silently deciphering the Dao Imparting Tablet.

For most Tribulation Transcendence cultivators, their own Dao improvement was the most important compared to the gains or losses of their juniors. They would not be influenced by the small commotion of the outer world while they were in the enlightenment state.

Only the heavenly aura of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was swaying gently.

Sensing the other cultivators' anxiousness, Shen Tian smiled and said, “Seniors, please do not worry. I am not an unreasonable person either.

“It's impossible for me to sell the enlightenment tea to all of you instead of giving it to my sacred ground's disciples. It's inappropriate, both in terms of sentiment and reason.

“However, after I give the enlightenment tea to my fellow disciples, it will be up to them on what they do with it. Thus, instead of trying to convince me, why not try negotiating with our Divine Firmament disciples?”

Shen Tian looked at the Divine Firmament disciples, who were receiving the tea from Eunuch Gui, and smiled as he saw that their halos were becoming brighter as their providence increased.

The enlightenment tea was a fortuitous opportunity that Shen Tian had seen in Qi Shaoxuan's halo, so the providence of the ones that received Shen Tian's tea would increase, and by quite a bit.

As for after Shen Tian distributed the tea, it would make no difference if the person drank or gave it to others.

If the disciples sold the tea Shen Tian had given them to someone else, the providence of that person would not change.

As compared to those Supremacies and Heavenly Venerables, who Shen Tian did not know if he would ever meet again in the future, he felt it was more worth it to increase the Divine Firmament disciples' providence. After all, it would be much easier to fleece sheep wool from his sacred ground's disciples.

Of course, people would have different perspectives when looking at a matter from different heights. Other cultivators were unable to guess Shen Tian's considerations, so they only felt that Shen Tian was unfathomable.

As expected of the Divine Firmament Saint! Even supreme-grade Spirit artifacts are nothing to him. He is willing to give the enlightenment tea to his comrades instead of trading it for Spirit artifacts.

How generous! Such deep love for his sacred ground!

Those Divine Firmament disciples that are just too fortunate!

They only have to support the Divine Firmament Saint, and they will be able to obtain such benefits for no reason. That's a fortuitous opportunity that many cultivators dare not even think of encountering in their whole lives.

I'm so jealous!

Those that could enter Immortal Abode Island with their sacred grounds were all elite disciples.

However, those elite disciples were currently green with envy when they looked at the Divine Firmament disciples.

When I was choosing which sacred ground to join, just which idiot told me that Divine Firmament was nearly ranked last amongst Eastern Wilderness' sacred grounds? One of the weakest?

This sacred ground is one of the weakest? When all the people in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, be it the Sacred Leader or Saint, are all exceptionally powerful monsters?

They are even distributing enlightenment tea just like it's some afternoon tea!

The other sacred grounds' disciples were full of regrets.

How I wish I was a Divine Firmament disciple!

I'll withdraw from my sect tomorrow. At worst, I'll just lose my cultivation and have to cultivate from scratch again. I'm definitely going to join the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!

Even Shen Tian did not know that his actions had directly stimulated countless people to doubt themselves and even have the thoughts of “betraying their sacred grounds”.

The punishment for betraying one's sacred ground in the cultivation world was almost certain death. Thus, those prodigies, who were murmuring about joining the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, were only complaining verbally. Nevertheless, they could always send their brothers, sisters, nephews, or nieces to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!

I'm definitely going to ride on the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's coattail!

In that instant, the cultivators on Immortal Abode Island were unsettled, while the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground stole the show!

More and more high-level disciples were about to join the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground—they were its future hope!

Many Heavenly Venerables started finding the Divine Firmament disciples to trade their enlightenment tea for Spirit artifacts.

Originally, most of those Divine Firmament disciples should have just broken through to the Golden Core stage in those people's minds, so their foundation should be unstable and their battle prowess lacking.

Thus, to those disciples, a superior-grade Spirit artifact's worth was definitely higher than that of the enlightenment tea. As such, it should be a forgone conclusion that they would choose to trade.

However, after they really did find those disciples, they were all stunned.

“You want to exchange for our Saint's enlightenment tea with just a superior-grade Spirit artifact? Sorry, the enlightenment tea might have a price, but Senior Brother's kindness is priceless!”

“Xue'er, although we're childhood friends, and I've been courting you since young, I'm sorry. I can even give up my life for you, but I cannot give you this cup of enlightenment tea. This time, I won't suck up to you!”

“Senior, I've already said that I am not interested. Please, go find other disciples! I'm reluctant to share even a drop of it, not to mention half!”

“Our Saint is the strongest Son of Providence in the five regions, so the fortuitous opportunity that he bestows upon us is naturally filled with paramount providence. Only an idiot would sell it to others!”

“I heard from Senior Brother Liu Taiyi and Song Fugui that ever since they started following our Saint, it has been smooth sailing for them. Hence, I won't exchange it for anything in the world. It's a fortuitous opportunity that our Saint bestowed us after all!”

“You want this cup of enlightenment tea? You need to increase the price. A supreme-grade Spirit artifact is not enough! At least a… Sage artifact!”

The Heavenly Venerables, Supremacies, and Perfected Ones prodigies were all about to explode from anger after being enraged by the Divine Firmament disciples.

WTF do you mean that the enlightenment tea your Saint bestowed you is filled with luckiness and can improve your providence? Such a joke!

And you even want a Sage artifact? Why don't you directly ask me for an Immortal artifact!?

If not for the Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader, who was seated in front of the Dao Imparting Tablet in an enlightenment state—and the fact that the fifth sun had gradually formed, making him seem exceptionally powerful—those Heavenly Venerables would have already started beating people up.

Those f*cking Divine Firmament disciples are asking for exorbitant prices! Do you have to go so far for just a cup of enlightenment tea!?

In the end, only five cups of enlightenment tea out of the 100 cups that Eunuch Gui had distributed to the Divine Firmament disciples were traded. Also, those five cups were given to the Divine Firmament disciples' relatives and Dao Companions instead of being traded for benefits.

The other 95 Divine Firmament disciples drank the enlightenment tea and sat in front of the Dao Imparting Tablet to decipher it. The aura of each and every disciple was increasing.

Shen Tian felt gratified, but at the same time, he sighed.

I gave the enlightenment tea to all of you to improve your providence and so that outsiders wouldn't benefit for nothing.

You idiots! Your providence has already increased, so why didn't you sell the enlightenment tea to the other sacred grounds in exchange for supreme-grade Spirit artifacts?

At worst, I'd just brew tea again for you after trading!

Even though the treasures are right in front of them, they aren't shrewd businessmen. How upsetting!

Well, although Shen Tian had been rendered speechless, he was actually touched upon witnessing how much the disciples supported him.

This must be the sense of belonging that Master has mentioned!

Since they support and trust me so much, I have the responsibility to protect them so that they can grow up strong and healthy.

At that moment, Shen Tian seemed to have received some kind of mental enlightenment.

Shen Tian secretly nodded as he looked at the Dao Imparting Tablet that countless people surrounded.

He had already reaped most of the benefits he could, so it was time for him to decipher the Dao Imparting Tablet too.

Although an imperial sutra was so-so, it would not be bad to collect another imperial sutra.

It was not a loss. He could at least learn it and obtain another avatar!

Shen Tian slowly walked toward the Dao Imparting Tablet just as he had such thoughts. He headed toward the innermost core area that was occupied by the Sages step by step.

The mighty pressure from the Sage Domain instantly surged toward Shen Tian. It was the aura that Sages would unconsciously release when in an enlightenment state, and it contained part of a Sage's power. Even Heavenly Venerables would find it difficult to stay indifferent and would most likely be forced to retreat or be injured heavily.

Seeing that Shen Tian was actually walking toward the Sages' region, everyone's jaws dropped.

Wait! The Divine Firmament Saint did not drink the tea!

He's planning to directly decipher the Imperial Sutra of Sun, next to the Sages at that!?

The Divine Firmament Saint is too arrogant!
