As he nodded slightly and quickly thought about how to respond safely, Sun Huo accidentally saw that there was a solitary teacup left in the flat-tipped tray of the attendant behind the middle-aged man, and the appearance of this cup was similar to that of himself and the three other people.
The ones used are quite different and obviously not the same set of tea sets.
After noticing this, Sun Huo immediately thought of the key. Then he stood up and said with a slight smile on his face:
"If I guess correctly, you should be Li Jiye, the current head of the Li family in Xianlai City. This morning tea is very delicious. It must have taken a lot of thought and hard work to prepare it."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but show a somewhat astonished expression on his face. Even Xiao Zhuang and Bai Zifeng subconsciously turned their heads and looked over.
It's no wonder that several people were surprised, because Sun Huo's words and deeds at the moment were really not in line with the way that immortals and mortals should deal with each other according to their superiority and inferiority, not to mention that the conflict between the two yesterday has not been resolved. Especially Li Jiye, secretly complained even more. As a big man
The person in charge of the family, who has rich experience, can immediately think that people who are resentful and angry will often demand a higher price when they have the upper hand.
"Master Sun is serious. These are just ordinary meals. It is an honor for Baiyulou to be liked by you. Besides, it is rare for adults to visit this small town. The Li family should do their part to welcome you as landlords."<
/p>
After coming back to his senses, Li Jiye quickly and carefully flattered him. The situation of the meeting now was different from what he had imagined, and he had to work hard to deal with it. Just yesterday, he secretly contacted Bai Zifeng and Xiao Zhuang,
He wanted the two immortal cultivators in Xianlai City to come forward to connect them so that they could communicate directly with Sun Huo. Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhuang ignored this at all, but Bai Zifeng agreed, but it also cost a lot of money.
The price. In order to keep a glimmer of hope that his lineage could continue to hold the power of the secular family, he had to do this. He had to try to end the matter safely before the cultivators of his family appeared.
Sun Huo smiled slightly and half-squinted his eyes. He didn't know what Li Jiye was thinking, and even if he knew it, he didn't care. Then he spread his arms and put them on the armrests, stretched out his body and sat down on the back of the chair.
It actually showed a high-spirited but very comfortable posture.
"Really? Your house's hospitality is indeed unique, and it has really given me a lot of experience."
At this moment, Li Jiye could no longer maintain his composure, and in a hurry, his knees softened subconsciously, and he was about to kneel down. But at this moment, he saw Sun Huo suddenly stretched out his hand and held it in the air, stopping his movement.
"Master Li, just say it nicely if you have something to say. Don't give such a big gift. You know, judging from my age, I, a junior, can't bear it, and my life and fortune will be shortened." Once again, Sun Huo used his words in a mocking way.
The tone of his voice made others feel unbelievable. The scene became cold for a moment.
"This, this..." Li Jiye really didn't know how to respond for a moment. Although he had met countless people in his life, this was the first time he met someone who didn't speak according to the usual routine and was a cultivator of immortality.
At this moment, Sun Huo's voice sounded in his mind.
"Listen, let's make a deal. I don't want to pursue what happened yesterday. I just think you owe me a favor. If you don't object, you can recommend tea to me."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiye couldn't help but opened his mouth slightly in shock, and his mind suddenly went blank. He didn't expect that Sun Huo would take the initiative to lower his status and propose an exchange condition at this time. Not only that, the corner of his eye also
It was discovered that neither Li nor Bai, who were present, seemed to have heard these words, and only they themselves received the information. But doing such a small trick in front of others is not a dare.
But having said that, although he was downgraded and regressed, raising conditions on such a social occasion did not leave any time or room for discussion. Li Jiye felt helpless and felt that Sun Huo was a very deep man in the city.
It was hard to figure out his inner feelings. Therefore, he suddenly had a sudden change of heart and decided to accept it first and get through this. After all, the unknown risks brought about by further complications were no longer something he, the head of the family, could bear.
"I didn't expect Master Sun to be so casual and peaceful. It's really rude of me. This is the snow-dotted jade in my building. Please take a bite of it, Master Immortal. I should treat it as my apology to you."
Breaking the deadlock with a laugh, Li Jiye quickly took a step forward, picked up the silver-wired white jade cup in front of Sun Huo with both hands, and held it up with a half-bow.
Seeing that the head of the Li family was so righteous, Sun Huo was slightly relieved. Because of Xiao Feng's death, he really had no intention of staying here at the moment. At the same time, he also felt guilty in case the Xiao family saw any clues and confronted him face to face.
But it didn't end well. He paused for a moment and pretended to think about it, then he sat up straight and reached out to take the tea cup.
In this kind of situation, he couldn't drink water casually, so Sun Huo followed Mu Xin's example before and took a sip without rushing to swallow it, raising the tip of his tongue slightly. Immediately, a look of surprise appeared on his face. Not to mention that the aroma of this tea is refreshing and astounding, which is very different from the aroma of several teas that Sun Huo has heard of. What is even more peculiar is that the soup is boiling hot, but there is a hint of coldness in the mouth. The mixture of hot and cold actually has a unique taste.
In addition, when you taste it carefully, you can feel that the water is sweet and cold, and it is neither a spring nor a well. For a while, Sun Huo couldn't figure out where the water for making tea came from.
"Good tea! Is this...?" At this moment, Sun Huo did not begrudge his praise despite his status. He tilted his head slightly and cast a questioning look at him.
"This Xuediancui tea is not a local tea species, but grown in the snowy peaks of the north, so it has a unique fresh and cold flavor. The water for making tea is also taken from the dissolved snow around the roots of the tea plants.
From here, we usually use green grass to filter out the soil debris, seal the altar and store it in the cellar. In this way, the tea brewed can retain the original color and flavor to the greatest extent."

Although he was surprised that this young immortal master would be interested in the origin of this tea, Li Jiye did not hesitate to explain it briefly. After thinking about it for a moment, he asked tentatively: p>
"If Master Sun Xian doesn't mind the meagerness, I would like to give you a pound on behalf of Bai Yulou as a token of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it."
"Okay!"
Hearing this, Sun Huo couldn't help but hesitate, but he blurted out and responded. Logically speaking, he was in a place of right and wrong at this time, so he shouldn't accept gifts from others to avoid causing trouble, but Xuediancui tea was indeed rare.
If you give it to Mu Xin, you will definitely like it, and it will be worthy of having experienced so much together in the past.
On the other side, Xiao Zhuang and Bai Zifeng were both secretly surprised by the result. Although they had not had much contact with each other, they both had a consensus about Sun Huo, that is, this man was short-tongued and hard to get along with, and wanted to do what he wanted.
I had no idea how to get closer, and there was no other way to arrange a banquet. I was betting that it would be hard to say no to a landlord, but I didn’t expect that the Li family would beat me to it and miss it by mistake.
"Okay, okay, who is Mr. Daoist Sun? Could he argue with you over such a trivial matter? Since you are going to give a gift, why not hurry up and get ready!"
Xiaozhuang, who came with something in mind, could not help but darken his face first, and asked Li Jiye to leave.
"Yes, yes. I will go down and prepare now. You two adults can chat slowly." Li Jiye clearly noticed the other party's displeasure at this moment, and he quickly laughed, winked at the surroundings, and led everyone around.
Retreat.
Without the presence of ordinary people, Xiao and Li seemed to be less restrained, and actually talked to Sun Huo about some issues in cultivation. This was quite attractive to Sun Huo, who had just advanced, so
Gradually I relaxed a little and joined the discussion to ask for advice.
Time passed very quickly, and an hour had passed before he knew it, and the sky was a lot brighter. Even though he felt that he had benefited a lot, Sun Huo also realized that this was not an ordinary exchange meeting, and it was time to leave. So it was time to leave.
After a few polite words, he stood up and said goodbye. This surprised Xiao and Bai, and they quickly stood up and asked to stay.
"Sun is very grateful for your warm hospitality. I have just advanced to the next level, and I came here to listen to people's advice. I plan to go out in the world anonymously and experience my state of mind. It is really inconvenient to stay here for a long time. So I'm sorry.
I have to take the first step."
Listening to Sun Huo's explanation, the two of them felt that this reason was quite far-fetched, but they couldn't directly refute it. After all, it was common for monks from the sect to travel. In this process, they usually went to unfamiliar places.
Only by avoiding the interference of acquaintances can the purpose of experience be achieved. If it is brought up at this time, it is really impossible to judge whether Sun Huo is making excuses to avoid them, or whether it is really the matter.
"I didn't expect that fellow Taoist Sun, at such a young age, could be so humble and so far-sighted. He will definitely have a bright future and make great achievements." Even though he was dissatisfied, Bai Zifeng did not show it, but praised him with a smile. p>
As for Xiao Zhuang, he felt a little relieved. Compared to Sun Huo's somewhat rude farewell, he was more worried that it would be difficult for him to block the news if he stayed here for a long time. If he leaves now, he will have more time.
Plan how to deal with the aftermath.
"Experience and increase of knowledge is a major event in spiritual practice. Besides, this is Taoist friend Sun's first trip after breaking through the realm. It should be treated with caution, so why should I say sorry? Even so, it is not convenient to keep Taoist friends in the lower ranks. But before
The Taoist friend asked me to look for my old friend. When the time comes..."
Sun Huo understood what Xiao Zhuang meant when he heard this, and quickly responded: "Fellow Daoist Xiao is interested. This Xianlai City has a large population, so it won't be easy to find people for a while. So it can take anywhere from seven to eight days to half a month, so it should be
I will return to the sect to continue cultivating, and I will naturally visit you again to see if I have found anything. Thank you, fellow Taoist Xiao, for taking the trouble to make arrangements for me."
"That's right, Fellow Taoist Sun is too polite. It just so happens that Xiao still has some trivial matters to deal with here and won't leave for the time being. Then it's settled. I'll wait for fellow Taoist to come back from training, and then we can have a good time over wine.
."
If he hadn't already known that there would be no good outcome in this matter, Sun Huo would have really believed that Xiao Zhuang was so hospitable. At this moment, he could only secretly admire the other party for being very forbearing and not leaking any details, and even more cautious.<
/p>
"Come here!"
Seeing that Sun Huo and Xiao Zhuang seemed to be getting closer, Bai Zifeng suddenly shouted outside. Immediately, Li Jiye hurried in with a servant.
"Fellow Daoist Sun is about to leave, why don't you hurry up and give me your gift."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Jiye responded and quickly stretched out his hand to signal the boy to hold the tray with both hands and bring it to Sun Huo. There were two clay pots, one large and one small, on the plate. The surface of the well-proportioned jars was crystal clear and translucent.
You know it was specially fired and is an unusual vessel.
"Master Sun, please accept it. This small jar contains snow-green tea leaves, and the big jar contains the boiled snow water." Li Jiye said to Sun Huo respectfully.
"Master Li is being polite, so Sun is disrespectful." Sun Huo's eyes flashed twice, then he pressed his hand on the storage bag on his waist, and a white cloud rolled past, and the tray was suddenly empty.<
/p>
Then he slightly bowed his hands to the three people present, and was ready to really say goodbye and leave.
"Wait a minute, fellow Taoist!" At this moment, Xiao Zhuang suddenly thought of something and said suddenly.
"Where are you going to travel next, fellow Taoist, I can't ask more. But in the area around Xianlai City, Greenstone City in the southeast seems to have been in a severe drought for many years. It is not a peaceful place. You can go around here to avoid being empty."
Take a walk."
"Thank you for the advice!" Sun Huo was shocked, but he still smiled and thanked Xiao Zhuang.
Not long after, a disc that was several feet in size flew out of the white jade tower and gradually disappeared into the distance. Such a strange sight actually caused some mortals around to point and comment.
At the same time, the doors and windows of the elegant hall where Sun Huo had just been entertained were closed. Only Xiao Zhuang and Bai Zifeng were left in the huge room without other mortals, standing opposite each other and glaring at each other, as if they were about to take action at any time.
