Among the Thirteen Families, the Li Family is not the strongest one, but when they pioneered the West Bull New Continent, they birthed two supremely powerful beings and possessed two grand manuals, encompassing the culmination of all the Taoist Skills in the world.
Outside West Capital City, in front of a teahouse, two white-haired elders were sipping tea while playing a game.
Each had a tea barrel beside their checkerboard. Such teahouses outside the city are mostly meant for hard-laborers like palanquin bearers and woodcutters, with cheap tea—a few copper coins—and not good quality at that, consisting of large coarse stems and leaves, even showing mottled traces of insect bites.
The tea barrels were not very clean either, covered with thick tea stains and scratches from cleaning nails.
These two white-haired elders were elegantly dressed, apparently from wealthy households, yet they sat and drank tea in this humble teahouse alongside those suffering through hard labor.
