Liu Hong and Wang Shan never dreamed they would one day receive such treatment: Elder Xia personally brewing tea for them, with the sect leader boiling water at the side.
The two were so overwhelmed with trepidation they fidgeted nervously, unsure of what to do with their hands.
Xia Ruofei calmly scalded the tea set with the freshly boiled water. "Since we need to verify the spirit tea's effects, we must use the best brewing techniques. Just stand aside. Drinking that cup of tea later will be your greatest contribution to the sect!"
In a short while, Ruofei finished brewing the tea. He had taken out two tea sets, brewing leaves produced by different wild tea trees in each.
Pointing at the two cups of clear, intensely fragrant tea, he smiled. "Liu Hong, Wang Shan, each of you take a cup and drink. Don't worry about anything else."
"Yes, Elder Xia!" they replied in unison.
