Once the two young ladies left, Chen Moxiang finished the tea in her cup and asked with a smile, "So? Those two young ladies are pretty, right?"
"Pretty!"
"Casanova!"
"...," Lin Tian rolled his eyes, "Everyone appreciates beauty. I think they're pretty. Does that make a Casanova?"
"Don't think I didn't see you three exchanging glances," Chen Moxiang huffed in displeasure.
Lin Tian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He didn't bother to respond and refilled their cups.
"How do you find this tea?" Lin Tian asked.
"I don't drink much tea, can't really tell. But it seems decent enough." With that, Chen Moxiang lifted her cup and drank it in a single gulp.
Lin Tian thought she was genuine and cute, smiled, and also downed his tea in one go.
Then, Lin Tian perford his tea-brewing skills for Chen Moxiang.
In the end, Chen Moxiang could only squeeze out one sentence, "So ugly... those two girls' brewing looked much better."
Lin Tian was speechless. Even though it was true, you didn't have to put it so bluntly.
Lin Tian was actually a bit frustrated. Whether it's exams, basketball, or cooking, he's quick to learn and excel. But with tea, his progress was painstakingly slow.
Suddenly, Lin Tian had a flash of inspiration. Cooking can be enhanced with Spiritual Qi; maybe tea brewing can too.
He refilled Chen Moxiang's cup, adding so Spiritual Qi, and smiled, "Try it again. There might be a surprise this ti."
"What are you up to now?" Chen Moxiang glanced at Lin Tian suspiciously but eventually picked up the cup and took a sip. "Huh? Why did the taste change?"
"How is it?" Lin Tian asked, his face full of smiles.
"I think it's tastier than before. Although the taste hasn't changed, it sohow feels better," Chen Moxiang extended her empty cup forward, "I'll have another cup."
Lin Tian poured her another cup and sampled so himself.
Indeed, the flavor was different. The tea's fragrance hit the taste buds stronger than before, and the water seed softer. In short, everything was perfect.
Not long after, the Sixth Elder and Mr. Tang returned. Seeing the smiles on their faces, Lin Tian knew the potion recipe had been 'approved.'
"Young man, we have re-evaluated your potion recipe many tis, and even checked ancient texts on the Yin-Yang Fish Eye. Combined with your recipe, it makes perfect sense," the Sixth Elder said, his eyes sharp as he looked at Lin Tian. "Tell , what do you really want?"
"What do I really want?"
"Exactly, what do you want? Such a valuable potion recipe is hard to find anywhere. For us, it's invaluable. Sharing sothing like this casually, you must want sothing in return?"
Lin Tian smiled and said, "What if I said I want the most precious herb in Luoyan Dock?"
The Sixth Elder answered almost without hesitation, "No problem!"
This ti it was Lin Tian's turn to be stunned. What do you an no problem? How can there be no problem?
I would have known if it were that easy. Who would risk stealing herbs?
If I just pulled out three recipe sheets and tossed them at this old man's face, I could have gotten the two herbs the Xu Family wanted as well.
Clearly, it was a simple task that I complicated, and now it's causing so much trouble.
Is there anything more botherso in this world?
The Sixth Elder had no idea what Lin Tian was thinking and urgently said, "Tell the final step to complete the potion, and I'll go to the pharmacy to get the most precious herb right away."
Lin Tian rubbed his nose, "I was just joking... no need to be so excited, Sixth Elder."
"Then what do you really want?"
"I need an Alchemy Furnace. Do you have one?"
"Well... Alchemy Furnaces are mostly antiques by now, and most of them have damages. Even in our Alliance, that one has been repaired many tis..."
The implication was that there wasn't one available.
"Can't you make one?" Lin Tian asked another question.
Mr. Tang smiled bitterly, "Young man, you may not know this, but the materials for an Alchemy Furnace are extrely rare, and its craftsmanship is very complex. It took the collaboration of martial arts masters in ancient tis to build one during the warrior era. Nowadays, no one has such capabilities."
The Sixth Elder sighed deeply while sitting beside him, lanting that the modern world cannot compare to the ancient one.
Lin Tian shrugged indifferently, "Without an Alchemy Furnace, it's fine. I have no imdiate needs at the mont."
Both elders almost choked. No needs? Nonsense! This is Luoyan Dock!
Then thinking further, they thought, if he can take out such a potion, what could he possibly lack?
"Are you planning to just sell it for money?" Mr. Tang couldn't help but ask.
Lin Tian raised his head and thought for a mont, "Money's fine too, I guess."
To be honest, Lin Tian just ca to see how valuable his potion recipes were. He didn't expect that casually throwing one out would almost drive these two old n mad.
The only thought in the two elders' minds right now was: such a waste!
This kid's such a squanderer!
Money! Look at the word; it's just so distasteful!
To these two elders, money is just a string of numbers, not worth looking at. How could it compare with this potion recipe?
"How much do you want? The Tang Family will buy it!" Mr. Tang slamd the table, wanting to make the first move!
The Sixth Elder imdiately disagreed and also slamd the table, "Old Tang, what do you an? This potion recipe is to be sold at the Alliance. It's not right for you to take over, is it?"
Suddenly, Chen Moxiang interjected, "Why don't both of you buy it together?"
The two elders exchanged glances and fell silent.
The rarity and value of this potion recipe are self-explanatory. If acquired, how many martial artists can leap to Golden Core? Its value is imasurable.
Such good things, everyone wants to keep for themselves.
Sharing wasn't part of their thought process.
"Old Tang, why don't we buy it together? It seems this thing isn't cheap."
"Fine!" Mr. Tang agreed readily, looking keenly at Lin Tian, "Young man, na your price. The two of us will take it."
Lin Tian was exasperated. What kind of ss is this? Did I agree to privately sell it to you? Clearly, throwing it at an auction would fetch a higher price.
But on second thought, it doesn't matter who buys it, so why not do these two old guys a favor?
Lin Tian didn't respond but simply held up three fingers.
"Three billion?! That's way too much!" Mr. Tang exclaid, three billion isn't just a number, it's money!
Sixth Elder tried to negotiate, "How about one billion? Three billion is really beyond what we can afford."
