**Chapter 1602: Hard to Go from Luxury to Frugality**

Wang Xing did not know Lin Moyu's name, but the Human Emperor Network does not lie. Lin

Lin Moyu's realm was indeed at the fourth level of the God King, and this was not wrong.

According to the rules, addressing him as junior brother was not incorrect.

However, their relationship seemed somewhat reversed, with Wang Xing being extremely polite to Lin Moyu.

Wang Xing led Lin Moyu back to his courtyard.

The Wang family was very large, like a small city.

It housed tens of thousands of Wang family members, and including the staff, the total number exceeded one hundred thousand.

In the human race, there is no concept of servants or slaves.

There are only regular workers who are paid for their labor, and everyone is treated fairly.

With the Human Emperor Network in place, there is no exploitation. Violating the rules would have severe consequences.

Over time, the major families no longer had any spoiled brats.

Those unreasonable individuals generally met with misfortune and passed away.

Wang Xing brewed some tea in the courtyard. The tea's aroma was somewhat faint, but Lin Moyu took a sip and slightly frowned.

Wang Xing noticed and asked, "Junior brother, is the tea not to your liking?"

Wang Xing knew his tea was not bad, already considered quite good.

But clearly, Lin Moyu did not like it.

Either Lin Moyu did not like tea, or his tea was too poor.

Lin Moyu had not been particular about tea before, but after spending time with Zhu Qiwu and Zhu Tian, he had been drinking Dao tea daily. After drinking the authentic tea that only those in the Other Shore Realm could enjoy, his taste had changed.

Now, drinking ordinary tea felt unsatisfactory.

"Truly, it's hard to go from luxury to frugality!" Lin Moyu mocked himself inwardly, realizing he had unknowingly developed a bad habit.

However, he did not plan to change this habit. He would follow his heart and saw no need to correct it deliberately. After all, it was not a big deal.

Lin Moyu smiled apologetically, "My taste buds are not very good. How about trying my tea, Senior Brother Wang?" Wang Xing understood that his tea was indeed not good enough and was curious to see what kind of tea Lin Moyu had.

"Of course!" Wang Xing waved his hand, and the tea set on the table was replaced with a new one.

Then Wang Xing took out a jade bottle, which contained clear water with shimmering golden light.

Wang Xing said, "Good water for good tea. This is Golden Radiance Spring from the Golden Water Secret Realm, excellent for brewing tea."

Wang Xing poured the water into the teapot, which was also a magical treasure, and a flame appeared at the bottom to heat the water. The Golden Radiance Spring was not easy to boil, taking two minutes to show some bubbles. The higher the quality of the water, the harder it was to boil.

For example, Dao Water could not be boiled by ordinary beings in the Other Shore Realm; it required a Saint to do so.

Wang Xing continued to heat the water, while Lin Moyu waited patiently.

After ten minutes, the water boiled, emitting beautiful golden light.

Even before the tea was added, a faint fragrance could be smelled.

Lin Moyu then took out the tea leaves, a slender leaf about the length of a finger, and placed it into the boiling water.

Instantly, a rich aroma filled the courtyard and began to spread outward.

Wang Xing was stunned, staring at Lin Moyu, "Is this... Dao tea?" Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes, Evergreen Tea."

He had obtained it from Zhu Qiwu, who had given him a lot of Dao tea when in a good mood. Zhu Qiwu, though stationed for a thousand years without moving, had his avatars travel to many places. In dangerous areas of the battlefield, there were Dao tea trees. Zhu Qiwu had collected a considerable amount over the millennia. Wang Xing did not know where Evergreen Tea came from, but knowing it was Dao tea was enough. Dao tea was something only those in the God Sovereign Realm could enjoy, and not all of them could obtain it. Even the head of his family had only occasionally gotten some.

In Wang Xing's eyes, Lin Moyu became even more mysterious. He was almost certain that Lin Moyu had a powerful family behind him. Otherwise, a mere God King, no matter how powerful, could not obtain Dao tea. Wang Xing's smile grew wider, filled with genuine joy.

Dao tea was a great temptation for any cultivator.

Not all God Sovereigns liked tea, but they all liked Dao tea.

Because Dao tea could enhance the soul and improve one's realm.

Dao tea needed to be brewed for a while, and Lin Moyu took the opportunity to ask, "Senior Brother Wang, is that rune blade still here?" Lin Moyu did not like to beat around the bush and asked directly.

Wang Xing replied, "I handed it over to the family. It should now be with the Rune Master Association."

"My Wang family is a family of rune masters, and rune blades like this are usually handed over to the Rune Master Association."

"Let me check for you!"

Wang Xing closed his eyes, seemingly searching.

A few seconds later, he reopened them, "Indeed, it has been sent to the Rune Master Association. The rune blade was identified as a fifth-level rune blade, and I received some rewards for it."

"Junior brother, do you want this rune blade?"

Lin Moyu nodded slightly, "Yes."

Wang Xing looked troubled, "This is difficult. If you had asked earlier, giving you the rune blade would have been no problem. But once it enters the Rune Master Association, it must follow their rules, which no one can break."

Lin Moyu did not understand the rules of the Rune Master Association, "Please explain, Senior Brother Wang."

Wang Xing had his own motives and explained the rules of the Rune Master Association.

Rune masters in the association are ranked by their level.

The resources they can access depend on their rank.

The ranks range from one to nine.

Wang Xing, a third-level rune master, could only access resources up to the third level.

By handing over the fifth-level rune blade, he received some rewards, bringing him closer to becoming a fourth-level rune master.

According to Wang Xing, he was confident he could be promoted to the fourth level within six months.

However, to obtain the rune blade from the association, one must be at least a fifth-level rune master.

Moreover, the rune blade might be borrowed by other fifth-level rune masters, making it even harder to obtain.

Alternatively, a higher-level rune master could use their rank to retrieve the rune blade from another rune master.

The hierarchy in the Rune Master Association was strict, with each higher rank having significantly more authority.

Lin Moyu frowned, not expecting it to be so complicated.

This meant he had to join the Rune Master Association and reach at least the fifth level to get the rune blade.

He never considered forcibly taking it; such a thing was impossible.

He had another option: asking Ancestor Xu.

He believed Ancestor Xu was a member of the Rune Master Association, likely a ninth-level rune master.

If Ancestor Xu intervened, the rune blade would be his.

But it seemed unnecessary to trouble Ancestor Xu for such a small matter.

At this moment, the tea was ready, and the aroma became even richer.

The entire Wang family was enveloped in the fragrance, with many exclamations of surprise.

Some members of the Wang family, even those at the Super God level, smelled the tea and entered a state of enlightenment. Dao tea, exclusive to God Sovereigns, was indeed extraordinary.

Wang Xing could not wait any longer. With a thought from Lin Moyu, a stream of tea naturally flowed into Wang Xing's cup. Wang Xing did not care about the heat and drank it in one gulp.

This was Dao tea, and Wang Xing felt incredibly fortunate to drink it at the God King level.

The hot tea exploded within him, flooding him with insights, and Wang Xing instantly entered a state of enlightenment.
