The scene is as follows.
Cui Baohe calmly holds the treasure box in his hand, listening to Elder Long's praises.
Though the compliments are cliché, the important thing is not the content but the person giving them.
A thousand years ago, when Elder Long heard Cui Baohe arrogantly claim his refining skills were the best in the world, he devised a plan to curb Cui Baohe's arrogance. As a result, he gave Cui Baohe a custom order that was impossible to complete, which led to Cui Baohe's change in character over these five thousand years, spending every day on his mountain peak pondering crafting techniques.
Now, although this box of 10,081 metallic sand grains wasn't crafted by him, Mi Yue is his disciple.
A strong disciple implies a strong master.
At moments of joy, Cui Baohe even clapped in response. After a while, seeing Elder Long run out of things to say, Cui Baohe had Mi Yue serve him a pot of tea.
This old fellow has been talking for so long, he's probably parched.
