Charlie smiled and said, “I happen to have another cauldron that can produce changes in the quality of pills. With the two powers combined, the resulting pill should be even more effective.”
Maria looked at Mrs. Pu-erh Tea and exclaimed again, “Young Master, look! She’s growing new shoots again!”
Charlie looked up and saw that the light green shoots had grown rapidly, from small curled buds to open buds, and their color had changed from light green to emerald green, while the original leaves had turned dark green.
Now, a group of new shoots begin to grow from the base of each leaf. This time, the shoots grew outwards in clusters, almost packed together, like wood ear mushrooms. At the base of each leaf, seven or eight new leaf buds grow. This makes the parent Pu-erh tea leaves so dense that they are completely opaque.
Maria exclaimed in surprise, “Young master, these young shoots grow so fast! I plan to pick some and make it into tea.”
Charlie smiled and said, “Then let me pick some for you. Do you just want the young shoots or the buds and leaves?”
Maria took out a clean handkerchief and spread it in her palm. He reached out and plucked a few young shoots from a drooping branch. He smiled and said to Charlie, “The younger the better, but we also have to add some old leaves. Generally, better tea is made with one bud and one leaf, then one bud and two leaves, or one bud and three leaves. Since the mother plant of Pu’er tea grows so well, we naturally have to take more young leaves.”
Charlie didn’t know this habit, so he immediately helped her pick the new shoots growing from the mother tea plant.
As Charlie plucked the young shoots, he casually popped one into his mouth. With a gentle chew, he felt the tea’s refreshing aroma and soft texture. What surprised him even more was that the new shoots of Mother Pu-erh Tea were much richer spiritually than before, perhaps even ten or a hundred times stronger.
In the past, Pu’er tea buds and leaves were very valuable. Tea made from dozens or even hundreds of leaves could contain Qi that could prolong life and strengthen the body for ordinary people, but for a cultivator like Charlie, it was basically just a drop in the ocean.
But now the situation has changed drastically in an instant.
The buds and leaves of today’s Pu-erh tea varieties not only have much higher spiritual content, but their quantity has also increased greatly.
It is powerful and abundant; if used properly, it will be a source of Qi that should not be underestimated.
Additionally, unlike thousands of other spiritual stones, spiritual stones were a non-renewable resource, and it was likely that only a few remained on Earth.
However, the shoots and leaves of the parent tea plant can continue to grow.
Charlie speculated that the reason why the Qi content between the buds and leaves of the Pu’er tea tree became so high after being moved was because the tree absorbed the extremely rich Qi in this place.
Charlie had no way to verify how strong or how much Qi was here, but he speculated from the level and strength of the cultivators who built this place that the Qi here was almost limitless for someone of his cultivation level.
He felt like an ant who had accidentally discovered a food store that human civilization had left behind when they left Earth. Although the food store was limited, its upper limit was so high that for him it was almost limitless.
With such abundant Qi here, it would not be a problem if other Mother Pu-erh Teas were consumed at the same time as it. According to Charlie, it was impossible for Mrs. Pu-erh Tea to consume Qi faster than him, considering its huge volume.
What’s even more incredible is that the Qi here is something I can’t take away; I can only use it here.
However, the Mother of Pu-erh Tea seemed to have transformed the Qi that couldn’t be taken from here into another kind of Qi that she could take in. Its wild growing shoots and leaves were a way to take in Qi here, which was of course a good thing in itself.
Moreover, the growth rate of these shoots and leaves was indeed too fast. The speed of two people picking them was far from being able to keep up with the growth rate of the young shoots. It was as if the mother of Pu-erh tea had been hit by magic, and it continued to grow and grow very quickly. If the young shoots were not plucked within thirty seconds, they would bloom into small leaves. If you wait a few more minutes, they will become large leaves.
During the half hour the two of them picked leaves, the Mother Pu-erh Tea Tree grew at least a few more clusters of young leaves. The entire tea tree had reached an excessive level of fertility, as if all the wheat grown from one hectare of land had been kneaded into one clump, filling it to the brim.
The trunk had grown from as thick as a bowl to as thick as a plate, and its overall size had increased by more than two or three times.
