In these past few days, Jiang Xueyan had personally witnessed Cheng Xiaofan's various skills, coupled with the live streaming videos she usually watched about him, she had long been immensely impressed with Cheng Xiaofan.
She was acutely aware of the severity of Long Xingyun's injuries, and was astonished that Cheng Xiaofan had healed him in such a short time.
This was too incredible!
Hearing Long Xingyun's words, she too eagerly wished to taste the golden tea.
Before long, a pot of water was boiling.
Long Xingyun took out three cups, scooped a pinch of tea leaves from the bag, placed them in the cups, and poured the boiling water from a height, slowly into the cups.
Instantly, a clear, refreshing aroma that made one's heart race wafted from the cups, entering their nostrils, making the pores all over their body feel as if they were comfortably opening.
"Just smelling this aroma is so pleasant!" Jiang Xueyan, on the side, seemed entranced, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if immersed in a special state, she murmured.
Long Xingyun chuckled, "If the smell is this pleasant, drinking it will surely make one float!"
After brewing three cups of tea, he held one of them with both hands and respectfully offered it to Cheng Xiaofan, saying with a hint of shame, "Master, this is merely offering a borrowed flower to Buddha. It is truly insignificant!"
Cheng Xiaofan accepted the tea, chuckled, and said, "Long Xingyun, between master and disciple, there's no need to be so formal. Let's be more relaxed!"
Long Xingyun smiled, "Master, please don't joke with me. I dare not be disrespectful. If my grandfather found out, he'd be so angry he'd want to take me apart bone by bone!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed, "What era is this? Are your family rules still so strict?"
Long Xingyun replied, "For the hidden aristocratic families to keep each other in check, the family rules of each house must be open and subject to scrutiny!"
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said with a smile, "It seems it's better to be a small farmer from the countryside like me, unrestrained by any rules!"
"Come, you two, try this cultivation tea!" He raised the cup in his hand and beckoned to them.
Upon hearing Cheng Xiaofan's words, the two eagerly picked up their cups and, with a gulp, drank a mouthful simultaneously.
"Ahhh, this tea is too delicious!" they exclaimed in unison.
"..." How was it delicious?
As far as I, Cheng Xiaofan, knew, both of you majored in Chinese Literature in university!
Why can't you say something that makes people happy?
Do you have any idea how difficult it was for me to refine this cultivation tea?
Gulp, gulp, gulp... The two of them drank their tea in one go, then refilled their cups with water.
The originally emerald green tea turned into a golden yellow.
It looked like transparent golden amber.
Beautiful enough to make one's heart flutter.
Without fear of scalding their tongues, they once again drank the golden tea in their cups dry.
Were these the young masters and ladies from hidden aristocratic families?
How could they lack any grace or composure?
Tea is meant to be savored, wine is meant to be drunk.
There is also a saying: Tea is for enlightenment, wine is for camaraderie.
Why are you acting like thirsty cattle drinking water, completely ruining the mood!
After drinking two cups of tea, Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan felt a surge of true qi throughout their bodies, their faces flushed and their bodies heated. Their joints were, as it were, filtered by a mysterious power.
Cheng Xiaofan could also see that the two were acting strangely, as if they were about to break through.
"Come on, put in some effort, have another cup each!" Cheng Xiaofan personally took a large handful of tea leaves from the bag and placed them in their cups, then filled the cups with water.
At the same time, he secretly infused spiritual energy into the two cups.
Since they both regarded him as their master, it was natural for the master to do something for them.
This was also a sign of a master's affection for his disciples!
"Master, are we about to have a new breakthrough?" Long Xingyun asked, his eyes brimming with tears, unable to contain his excitement.
Cheng Xiaofan nodded with a serious expression, "It's possible!"
Jiang Xueyan's tears streamed down her face, and she choked out, "I never thought Jiang Xueyan would see this day. I'm so happy!"
"..." Sweat!
Why are you crying if you're happy?
However, this time, as they faced the cups of tea on the table, their eyes widened, and they hesitated to pick them up.
What if this tea, once drunk, failed to bring about a breakthrough, thus disappointing their master's expectations?
"Drink up!" Cheng Xiaofan urged.
"Master, I'm afraid..." This was Jiang Xueyan's statement.
Long Xingyun quickly added for his fiancée, "Master, we're worried that if we drink this cup of tea and still can't break through, it would be too much of a disservice to the tea!"
"It's fine!"
Cheng Xiaofan comforted them, "This tea is indeed very rare for other cultivators, but from your perspective, it's nothing special. Your master can provide you with it anytime!"
"Thank you, Master!" The two immediately knelt and bowed before Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan was stunned. This was just like old Ye!
"Get up quickly. Whether you can break through after drinking this cup of tea depends on your luck!" Cheng Xiaofan, utterly fed up with such fussy behavior, shouted loudly.
"Yes!" The two rose simultaneously.
They picked up their cups and, as they brought them to their lips, sniffed them. The aroma of the tea was even more peculiar.
It felt as if just a whiff could bring peace to one's soul, cleanse the Dao heart, and instantly eliminate all the malevolence and lingering malevolent energy from one's body.
Taking a sip, a profound power suddenly rose from the deepest part of their hearts, spreading throughout their bodies as if clearing the impurities from their souls.
The young man and woman couldn't help but exchange glances, and with a shared understanding, they smiled.
They involuntarily raised their cups and, once again like thirsty cattle drinking water, gulped down the golden tea in their cups in one go.
As soon as Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan finished drinking the golden tea, with a crackling sound, the two cups were crushed in their hands, and a terrifying aura erupted from their bodies.
"Ah, I'm about to break through!" Long Xingyun shouted with ecstatic surprise.
Jiang Xueyan also stomped her feet as if she had gone mad and yelled, "Ahhh... I'm about to break through too, really, I'm about to break through!"
Cheng Xiaofan quickly pointed to a patch of woods not far from the door, "That place is more spacious and quiet. Go there to cultivate. You can do whatever you want in the woods!"
Uh!
Master, what did that last sentence mean?
The two were momentarily stunned, but they didn't have time to ponder further. With a leap, they shot out of the door like a pair of swallows.
They feared delaying their cultivation time, their bodies felt like they were about to explode.
They were indeed experts!
Watching their retreating figures disappear into the woods, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
He also felt a little dejected. They could break through after drinking two cups of tea, but he drank it every day and saw no new breakthroughs.
However, on second thought, his cultivation system was too unique.
He had to rely on dreams to cultivate.
And strangely, he couldn't find any specific realm for his cultivation.
Boom!
Boom!
As Cheng Xiaofan was lost in thought, two loud noises came from the small woods outside the door, and two streams of true qi shot up into the sky.
Some trees were even uprooted and thrown into the air.
The commotion was so great that it alarmed some cultivators along the banks of Nanshan Lake, who all turned their sharp gazes towards the island in the middle of the lake.
