Thousand-Year Cold Jade and Thousand-Year Cold Ice, those who practice martial arts dream of such things, for they can refine their Inner Breath further and speed up their cultivation, while also calming the mind and reducing the likelihood of demonic intrusions…

This is not a myth but a reality… Unfortunately, Thousand-Year Cold Jade has already become a legend, rarely seen in the world, and thus the Cold Jade Ice Crystals have naturally become legendary as well.

Qin Fang, however, did not expect that a simple outing for tea would lead to such a discovery…

If there are Cold Jade Ice Crystals, there must be Thousand-Year Cold Jade nearby, particularly around the Yun Luo Tea Tree. It just appears that the Ryu Family has not realized this secret, otherwise, they definitely would not bring out Yunluo Tea for others to drink… because that would simply be inviting disaster upon themselves.

Obviously, not many people could discern the presence of Cold Jade Ice Crystals through this Yunluo Tea, unless they are highly knowledgeable about medicines or are one of the ancient beings from Thousand Gate. It's something a regular person, even a Martial Dao Grandmaster, could not possibly recognize…

The effects of Thousand-Year Cold Jade are extraordinary, and even these Cold Jade Ice Crystals have many remarkable uses, such as in concocting some extremely rare elixirs. If Cold Jade Ice Crystals are added, it's said that the efficacy of the medicine could increase manifold.

The quantity of Cold Jade Ice Crystals in this Yunluo Tea isn't substantial, but as Liu Xianhe mentioned earlier, it still possesses some of the effects of refreshing and concentrating the mind, just not as powerfully as the Thousand-Year Cold Jade, otherwise, Elder Master Liu, being a Grandmaster-level Expert, might have discovered this secret…

Anyone who encounters a treasure like Thousand-Year Cold Jade would inevitably be tempted, and Qin Fang was no exception. Although Yunluo Tea is the Ryu Family's treasure and the Thousand-Year Cold Jade is located right next to the Yun Luo Tea Tree, if Qin Fang were to take the Thousand-Year Cold Jade, then the Yun Luo Tea Tree would inevitably fall into obscurity.

However, allowing such precious Thousand-Year Cold Jade to exist merely to benefit a few tea trees seems to Qin Fang a horrendous waste. Now, Qin Fang's strength is only mediocre, yet he faces countless enemies and has those bizarre tasks, so he very much hopes to acquire the Thousand-Year Cold Jade.

Moreover, since the Thousand-Year Cold Jade has ended up in the hands of Koreans, although Qin Fang is not completely a fervent nationalist, he doesn't have much liking for the Koreans, and taking the Thousand-Year Cold Jade from their hands doesn't cause him any moral dilemmas.

It is only…

Figuring out the location of this Yun Luo Tea Tree from the Ryu Family is obviously not very feasible, at least not from Liu Xianhe…

"This is really good tea…"

Qin Fang was immensely attracted to the Thousand-Year Cold Jade, and even the Yunluo Tea, whose flavor he typically could not appreciate much, seemed to him now a truly fine tea.

"Mr. Liu, since this Yunluo Tea is so excellent, nearly comparable to many of Dragon Country's top famous teas, why have I never heard of it before?"

While savoring the tea, Qin Fang struck up a conversation with Liu Xianhe, naturally centering on this Yunluo Tea.

"Ah, Mr. Qin, you might not be aware, our Ryu Family's Yunluo Tea is also considered a top-tier famous tea, but the production is really… there's only so little each year. My father has three sons, and each gets a share, but even then, this is all that falls into my hands…" Liu Xianhe said with a bitter smile, then casually introduced Qin Fang to the Ryu Family's situation.

It turned out that the Yun Luo Tea Tree, having been passed down in the Ryu Family for hundreds of years, was considered the family's supreme treasure, only known to the successive Family Heads. Nobody else knew exactly where it was located.

And the position of Family Head was vied for based on strength; only those who had attained Grandmaster Level were eligible to inherit the position. Like in the generation of Elder Master Liu, since he was the only one to have reached Grandmaster Level, naturally, the position of Family Head and the possession of the Yun Luo Tea Tree fell to him.

However, in Liu Xianhe's generation, the talents of his three sons were not very impressive. Among the three, only Liu Xianhe reached Level 5, but the hopes of reaching the Grandmaster Level were really slim. The other two gave up martial arts to pursue business since no one else could reach the Grandmaster Level. Thus, whoever contributed more to the Family could become the Family Head...

As for the Yunluo Tea, Elder Master Liu would place the location in a safe spot so that even after his death, if a descendant of the Ryu Family entered the Grandmaster Level and inherited the position of Family Head, only then would he be eligible to obtain this address. The three Liu brothers should not hold any hope for this.

In the following third generation, if someone could reach the Grandmaster Level, the position outside of the Family Head would still fall into his hands. This was the rule of the Family, and no one was allowed to defy it, otherwise they could forget about learning the whereabouts of the Yunluo Tea.

Listening to Liu Xianhe's explanation, Qin Fang finally understood that if he wanted to find out the location of the Yun Luo Tea Tree, he would have to focus on Elder Master Liu—as for the three Liu brothers, there was no hope.

As for the generation after that, there's no need to mention Liu Junhao just now. His talent is just average, far too inferior compared to the young Martial Arts Experts continuously emerging in Dragon Country.

It's known that, although there are many young experts in Dragon Country, not too many eventually reach the Grandmaster Level. So, it's even less likely for Liu Junhao unless the Ryu Family is willing to give him a lot of Yunluo Tea to consume—perhaps they could forcibly create a Grandmaster-level Expert...

However, given the production rate of the Yunluo Tea, this is clearly impossible!

So, Qin Fang was not immediately worried about the Ryu Family discovering the Thousand-Year Cold Jade. If it were discoverable, it might have been found by the ancestor who discovered the Yunluo Tea in the first place and wouldn't have been left until now.

After all, compared to the Yunluo Tea that only contains a little Cold Jade Ice Crystal, it's the Thousand-Year Cold Jade that really serves as a breeding ground for creating many experts...

"It seems a trip to Korea really is needed when I have the time, to try and bring back this Thousand-Year Cold Jade..."

In his heart, Qin Fang silently made such a plan. It wasn't that he was too greedy; the Thousand-Year Cold Jade was simply too useful for him...

It was also for this position of Family Head that Liu Xianhe, who had hardly made any progress in Korea, came to Dragon Country—naturally, this was also Elder Master Liu's idea. Among the second generation of the Ryu Family, Liu Xianhe was already the only one still practicing martial arts.

At the same time, Liu Xianhe also brought his son to Dragon Country, hoping to enhance his own cultivation through more sparring and more real combat, thereby seeking a breakthrough in the Martial Way...

Liu Xianhe rarely taught at the Taekwondo Dojang; he mostly went out to find Martial Arts Experts to spar with. Even at the recent Martial Arts Conference, he had a friend help him get an invitation to watch.

So, usually the Taekwondo Dojang was mostly run by Liu Junhao, who back in Korea had few young contenders. After coming to Dragon Country, his old man left him to go out and make friends through martial arts, indeed not allowing Liu Junhao to meet many worthy opponents, thus further developing his ignorant and arrogant disposition...

The reason Liu Xianhe did not take him along was because Liu Junhao, merely at Level 4, was really nothing in the Dragon Country Martial World. He was planning to wait until Liu Junhao advanced further, to Level 5, before taking him out, as that might present an opportunity for a breakthrough... After all, the stepping stone to the Grandmaster Level—the Epiphany—was something that required Level 5 to comprehend.

But Liu Junhao had failed to grasp his father's intentions. Arrogant and despising everyone, he continued in this manner until today when he met Qin Fang, this tough nut to crack, and got a severe face-slapping...

"Mr. Qin, although you are young, your cultivation is not weak. I wonder if I might have the honor of sparring with you..."

After saying so much and drinking such fine tea, Liu Xianhe finally brought up the main point. It turned out he felt that Qin Fang was quite strong, and since he was very keen on sparring with more experts from Dragon Country to seek his own breakthrough, Qin Fang seemed to be an excellent candidate, so he very politely made the offer.
