Close your eyes and savor it carefully.
The tea soup enters the mouth,
A pleasant fragrance filled the air.
It leaves a lingering aftertaste.
He followed the etiquette of tea ceremony.
First, smell the fragrance.
He drank it down in three gulps.
Finally, gently set down the teacup.
Tap the table three times with your knuckles.
This is to show respect and to offer more tea.
Seeing this, Lu Jin
Stroking his beard, he laughed:
"Good lad,"
It truly captures the essence of the tea ceremony!
It seems your master taught you quite a few of these unorthodox methods.
"Uncle-Master is joking,"
Lin Chen said modestly,
"I only have a superficial understanding."
I'm far inferior to you, my senior master.
He paused,
Recalling the poem by Jiaoran, the Tea Sage of the Tang Dynasty,
Then he recited:
"One drink washes away drowsiness,"
Drink again to refresh my spirit.
Three drinks led to enlightenment (371), and 7291 attained it (19).
This is the way of tea.
Profound and extensive
"I still have much to learn from you."
"Ha ha,
What a wonderful claim of "attaining enlightenment after three drinks!"
Lu Jin laughed heartily.
"If your master had even half of your comprehension back then..."
It's not that bad..."
His smile gradually faded.
A hint of melancholy flickered in his eyes.
Lin Chen understood.
Lu Jin was thinking of his master.
That is, Lin Chen's grandmaster.
"Senior Uncle,"
Lin Chen put down his teacup.
The tone was sincere.
"Master, the old man..."
On his deathbed,
Have you ever regretted your choice?
Lu Jin remained silent for a long time.
With a long sigh:
"regret?
I don't regret it.
It's just a bit of a shame.
He,
I've always felt that when I left my master's sect,
It was the biggest mistake of his life.
these years,
Although he didn't say it,
But I can never truly let go of this place.
He can't let go of his junior brother.
Lin Chen listened quietly.
There are mixed feelings in my heart.
My master and I had different philosophies back then.
He left the sect in anger.
From then on, he wandered the world.
He never set foot in the sect again.
"actually,
Master, he…
Lin Chen hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
He seemed to be hesitating about something.
"What's up with him?"
Lu Jin pressed for an answer.

Chapter 273 A Lightning Tribulation Will Descend
"My master died a month before his death."
once……"
Lin Chen took a deep breath.
He said slowly,
"I once attempted to challenge the third level of the sect!"
"what?!"
Lu Jin suddenly stood up.
The teacup in his hand fell to the ground.
It made a crisp sound.
But he paid no heed.
His eyes were fixed on Lin Chen.
Say it again,
What happened to your master?
"Master, he,"
One month before his death,
They successfully broke through their own limitations.
I've challenged the third level of the sect!
"Lin Chen said, word by word,"
He knew what this news meant for Lu Jin.
Lu Jin stood there, stunned.
It was as if they had been struck by lightning.
The third realm
That was the ultimate secret technique passed down through generations of their sect.
It is a realm that countless predecessors could not reach even after a lifetime of hard work.
And his senior brother,
That senior brother whom he regarded as a traitor,
He actually broke through this realm before his death?
The room was completely silent.
The only sound was the dripping of tea onto the floor.
Clearly audible.
"My master said..."
He spent his entire life pursuing freedom.
But ultimately, they were trapped by freedom.
Lin Chen's voice was low and sorrowful.
He realized,
True freedom
It's not about escaping.
It's not betrayal.
It's about protecting.
To protect the Trinity Gate
To make up for his regret,
He decided to fight with his last ounce of strength.
Go and challenge that realm he once scorned.
"and so,
He chose to go into seclusion.
Preparing for a breakthrough.
Lu Jin took a deep breath.
Trying to calm the turbulent emotions inside,
"Then what?
Did he succeed?
