"Please!" Xiao Hua's expression was indifferent. He nodded and followed the scholar up the stairs.
Xiao Hua originally thought that he would be able to reach the second floor, but who knew that the scholar would take him all the way to the fourth floor!
The fourth floor was completely different from the first floor. As soon as he stepped on the stairs, he was greeted by a dark plum tree. The dark plum tree had a lot of branches and a huge crown. It seemed to cover the entire fourth floor.
On the branches, between the green needle-like leaves, there were fist-sized dark plum blossoms that were as black as ink. The faint fragrance of the plum blossoms that seeped into one's heart unknowingly entered one's nose!
What made Xiao Hua's eyes light up the most was that the layers of snow on top of the dark plum tree were not obstructed, falling down and covering the emerald green. The three colors of snow white, emerald green, and pitch-black were extremely striking, untainted, and extremely moving!
Moreover, in this extremely quiet place, there was no other sound. The sound of falling snow was the main melody of the entire fourth floor!
Seeing Xiao Hua's shocked expression, the scholar was happy again. He knew that he had met a soulmate. He didn't make any sound and walked to a branch that was heavily pressed down by the snow. He pointed at the dark plum tree and a black light flashed, revealing a door. The scholar said softly, "Fellow Daoist, this way please!"
His voice was extremely soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sleep of the snow.
"Okay!" Xiao Hua didn't hesitate and walked into the door first.
Outside the door was another grotto-heaven. It was a green grassland surrounded by a gurgling stream. Next to the stream was a huge mirror. Looking from the mirror, one could see the snowy scene of Sentry City covered in dark clouds.
"Tsk tsk, fellow Daoist really knows how to enjoy life." Next to the stream, there was a tea stove with a small fire boiling water. The steam was gurgling. A futon and a jade table were placed in front of the tea stove.
"Young Master!"
Seeing that Xiao Hua was the first to enter, the scholar also followed him in. The dozen or so robust men who were originally standing in front of the door immediately bowed and shouted.
"Oh?
These strong men … "Xiao Hua scanned them with his divine sense. He knew that the strong men's cultivation was different, but most of them were at the Foundation Establishment Stage. There were even two at the Foundation Establishment Stage!
However, Xiao Hua had a feeling in his heart. It was an effective and familiar feeling. However, if he were to describe it in detail, he might not be able to explain it clearly.
The scholar waved his hand and said with a smile, "Alright, you can all leave now!"
"Young Master, this cultivator's skills are very formidable. I'm afraid … it's not appropriate for you to be here alone!" The brawny man in the lead glanced at Xiao Hua and spoke very bluntly to the scholar while bowing.
"Si ~" That brawny man's gaze swept past Xiao Hua. Xiao Hua's heart trembled. Not because of anything else, but because he seemed to feel that the brawny man's eyes slightly flashed like lightning, as if he suddenly had no emotions!
"It's alright!" The scholar smiled and said, "This fellow Daoist is an expert. He is … the first person I've seen in my life.
Didn't you see it just now?
Walking alone in the snow, one step at a time, which cultivator in the entire Sky Patrol City can do that? "
"Young Master!" The brawny man still shook his head. "It's better to be safe than sorry!"
"Hahaha!" Xiao Hua laughed and gestured with his hand. "Fellow Daoist, I've already come, so why haven't you served the spirit tea yet?
After talking for so long, I'm already thirsty! "
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Xiao, please wait a moment!"
The scholar glared at the brawny man and quickly walked over. The brawny man waved his hand and the dozen or so people left, leaving only the two with the highest cultivation!
Seeing that the scholar had come over, Xiao Hua waved his sleeves and sat cross-legged on the grass beside the jade table. He looked up at the mirror beside him!
Sure enough, the view here was very good. The scenery within a radius of several miles could be seen at a glance. In particular, the street that Xiao Hua had just walked through was right below this teahouse. Looking at the empty and white street, Xiao Hua smiled. It was impossible for him to not attract people's attention by walking like this!
He didn't know how many people had scolded him for being stupid along the way!
"Fellow Daoist Xiao is indeed carefree!"
Seeing that Xiao Hua was sitting on the ground, the scholar's face showed excitement. He also waved his hand and moved the praying mat to the side, sitting on the other side of the jade table.
In addition to a jade cup, there were several plates of spirit fruits on the jade table. The scholar took out a sparkling and translucent jade cup from his storage bag and placed it on the table. He reached out and picked up the tripod-shaped teapot on the small stove. Xiao Hua had already seen that this small stove was a magic tool, and the fire on the small stove was the True Samadhi Fire!
"Fellow Daoist, please!"
The scholar personally tilted the teapot. A stream of water that was greener than grass and thinner than grass poured out from the teapot and fell into the jade cup in front of him!
An indescribable fragrance suddenly drifted out from the spirit tea. Moreover, as far as the eye could see, the emerald green color in the jade cup rose little by little and finally turned into a piece of jade!
"Good!"
Although Xiao Hua wasn't particularly knowledgeable, seeing such an interesting scene, he couldn't help but clap his hands and praise.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please have a taste!" The scholar poured the water for himself and raised his hand to signal Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua did not hold back. He extended his hand and picked up the jade cup. He blew on it a few times in a very habitual manner and took a small sip. Immediately, a faint sweetness flowed from his mouth into his heart and lungs. Then, the sweet aroma fermented and instantly filled his entire body. The most inconceivable thing was that he felt that his own Origin Spirit was about to be infected by this sweet aroma!
"Another cup!" Xiao Hua couldn't help but put the jade cup on the jade table and said.
When the scholar saw that Xiao Hua didn't use magic to drink tea like the others, his eyes lit up. When Xiao Hua blew on the spirit tea, he was even more delighted!
When Xiao Hua drank it all in one gulp and asked him for more spirit tea, his heart was bursting with joy!
He really hadn't seen such a cultivator!
Didn't that cultivator put the spirit tea in his mouth with a flick of his hand?
Which cultivator would care about the heat of the spirit tea?
And which cultivator would be so impolite to ask for more?
Alas, he still didn't know how stingy Xiao Hua was. Such a delicious spirit tea, naturally, he should drink more. If he could get the spirit tea seeds, that would be even better!
The scholar's jade cup was already at his lips. He said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you still have to wait a bit. This' Fragrant Demon 'can only be drunk two cups at a time. After half a meal's time, you can drink it again!"
As he said that, he also drank the spirit tea in small mouthfuls!
"Fragrant Demon!
Good, this name is really good! "Xiao Hua put down the jade cup and said with a smile.
"Just the name is good?" The scholar put the teapot on the cauldron again and said with a smile, "Is this tea not good?"
"Hehe, this Xiao's mouth is clumsy and can't say anything to praise!
However, this Xiao feels that this spirit grass is really much better than any spirit wine! "Xiao Hua thought for a moment," If I have to praise it, then there is only one word — fragrant!
If there are five, then it is incomparable fragrant! "
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Xiao, that's six words!"
The scholar smiled and said with cupped hands, "After talking for so long, this little one still hasn't introduced himself. This little one is called Zi Ye. May I ask for Fellow Daoist Xiao's great name!"
Seeing that Zi Ye only reported his name and didn't reveal his origin, Xiao Hua understood in his heart that he was probably a direct descendant of some sect or family who came out to gain experience and didn't want to reveal himself.
"Zi Ye?
Good name! "Xiao Hua was really jealous. He cupped his hands and said," This little one is called Xiao Hua!
This name is really vulgar! "
"Xiao Hua???" Zi Ye raised his eyebrows. He hesitated for a moment and said with a smile, "Is your surname 'Xiao'?"
Xiao Hua scratched his head and said with a smile, "Of course my surname is Xiao. This Xiao doesn't have any other surname!"
Then, Xiao Hua told Zi Ye his specific name. Zi Ye's face showed a trace of understanding.
"What?
Fellow Daoist Zi Ye, is there something wrong?
Or … has Fellow Daoist heard of this Xiao's name? "Xiao Hua asked somewhat strangely.
"Hehe, no!"
Zi Ye's face returned to normal. He said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Xiao's name is similar to the name of a close relative of mine. This is why I'm surprised!"
Then, Zi Ye said with a smile, "Actually, a name is just a mark for others to call. Who cares if it's good or bad?
In this world, there are more than millions of people with the same name.
Just do whatever you want! "
Xiao Hua stopped feeling strange and nodded. "Fellow Daoist Zi Ye's words are indeed reasonable!"
Then, Xiao Hua looked down at the street where there were already some cultivators flying quickly. He said with a smile, "This Xiao has let Fellow Daoist Zi Ye see a joke!
This little one didn't expect to attract Fellow Daoist's attention just by walking down there! "
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, you don't know!"
When Zi Ye heard this, the expression on his face became slightly exaggerated. He pointed with his finger and said, "Just now, this little one was tasting tea. Fellow Daoist Xiao came alone from the wind and snow and almost turned into a piece of snow. This little one was immediately startled.
But which cultivator doesn't come and go? Are you afraid of getting dust on the ground or stepping on snow?
Fellow Daoist Xiao, on the other hand, is just the opposite. You're like a naughty child playing around, wanting to leave a graceful impression on the snow!
Fellow Daoist Xiao is such an elegant person. This is the first time this little one has seen someone like you. That's why I took the liberty to come downstairs and invite Fellow Daoist upstairs for a chat! "
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Zi Ye is wrong!"
Xiao Hua shook his head and said, "This Xiao is just an ordinary person. When I saw the wind and snow, I was secretly delighted. That's why I came all the way here, wanting to see what kind of snow I could step on!
I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist would take me as an expert!
I'm really ashamed! "
"Whether it's ordinary or elegant, since I met Fellow Daoist Xiao in the wind and snow, it's naturally fate!" As Zi Ye said this, he poured the spirit tea again. Xiao Hua drank it again without any trace of politeness!
Seeing Xiao Hua drink it again, Zi Ye was somewhat puzzled. He said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you must be thirsty from the first cup. Shouldn't you carefully taste the second cup?"
"Hehe, this Xiao is still thirsty!"
Xiao Hua said without hiding anything. "Moreover, this Xiao actually doesn't know how to taste tea. If Fellow Daoist Zi Ye wants to experience it, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed!"
Sure enough, Zi Ye was really somewhat disappointed. He asked again, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, don't you feel that the sweetness of this Fragrant Demon Person is faint at first? This faint fragrance gradually gathers, and when it reaches a certain level, it suddenly erupts?
If you drink it one mouthful at a time, the feeling will be even more obvious? "
