Upon seeing Qiu Yun's tone and demeanor, a hint of surprise flashed in Xu Yuanji's eyes.
Clearly, Mo Ming sensed that the other party was probably heading towards Lin Xiuyuan.
As for him, although he was also Elder Yunxiao and a powerful figure in the Xu family, he didn't seem to be enough to make a dignified manager of Xinyuan Pavilion come over to see if he was being treated well.
Managing a branch pavilion is equivalent to a Golden Core cultivator, and not just any ordinary Golden Core cultivator.
In fact, this Shopkeeper Qiu might very well be a Golden Core cultivator.
However, due to her unique abilities, it was difficult for others to fathom Qiu Yun's cultivation level.
However, no one expected that the other party would make a special trip for Lin Xiuyuan...
It seems that Lin Xiuyuan's importance is even greater than the Xu family had imagined!
Lin Xiuyuan wasn't too surprised. This was Yunxiao Sect's territory, so it wasn't unusual for news about the sect to circulate here.
However, Lin Xiuyuan, like Xu Yuanji, also realized this: the other party had come specifically because of him?
A hint of doubt flashed through his mind, and Lin Xiuyuan cupped his hands and said, "Manager Qiu is joking. It's all just rumors. How can I be so famous? There are so many geniuses and prodigies in the Cloud Soaring Sect. I am just one of them."
"Hehe, it seems that young friend Lin is not only exceptionally talented, but also humble, cautious, and not arrogant or impatient."
Qiu Yun smiled and then clapped her hands.
Two beautiful and graceful maids entered through the door, one carrying spirit tea and the other carrying teaware. They came to Lin Xiuyuan and his companion and poured tea for them.
These two women, though maids, possessed late-stage Qi Refining cultivation, making them quite formidable...
They were dressed very lightly and thinly, already barely concealing their figures. Now, as they leaned over to pour tea, they were so close that it seemed that even a glance was enough to see everything and appreciate every glimpse of their charm.
At this moment, Qiu Yun's clear and charming voice rang out again, saying, "Just as I said, the arrival of young friend Lin has made my Xinyuan Pavilion feel honored. This pot of Spring Moon Lake tea is a gift from me. I was busy with other matters and was unable to come immediately. I hope that young friend Lin will grace our store with his presence in the future."
"It is an honor for my Xinyuan Pavilion to be able to entertain a guest like Young Friend Lin. This is a VIP token. If you don't mind, please accept it."
After saying that, Qiu Yun tossed out a token, which slowly landed in front of Lin Xiuyuan.
"I have some matters to attend to, so I apologize for the delay. I have arranged for two maids to serve you. Please enjoy the spiritual tea, fellow Daoists. Xiao Qing and Xiao Yue, please take good care of yourselves."
What landed in front of Lin Xiuyuan was a token, which looked like a VIP token?
He didn't take it seriously at first, assuming that important guests would receive such treatment.
Moreover, one can't help but admire the generosity of Manager Qiu. For example, this Spring Moon Lake Tea is on par with Qingluo Tea, both being premium spiritual teas for those in the Foundation Establishment stage!
However, as Lin Xiuyuan casually put away the token, he noticed a hint of envy flashing in Xu Yuanji's eyes.
This caused Lin Xiuyuan's expression to change, but he didn't say anything at the moment. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist, I don't need to serve you. Please step back."
After saying that, Lin Xiuyuan tossed out a mid-grade spirit stone.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but feel disappointed. Even though the tip Lin Xiuyuan gave was not small, it seemed unable to hide her disappointment.
Xu Yuanji, on the other side, did the same, bestowing some spirit stones upon them before dismissing them, saying he had something to discuss...
...
Xinyuan Pavilion is renowned as the finest tea in the world.
Here you can taste the local specialties of tea, such as Spring Moon Lake Tea, which is said to come from Spring Moon Lake in the northern lands, within the fiefdom of the Heavenly Martial King's Mansion.
Most cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage don't know where this place is, let alone Foundation Establishment cultivators.
This is basically the characteristic that makes Xinyuan Pavilion famous throughout the world.
It is renowned for its collection of the finest teas from around the world.
But the Spirit Tea... is famous in various places because of this reputation, and everything about it revolves around the Spirit Tea.
The maids who came in earlier served the distinguished guests tea. They had their own set of tea skills and were also skilled in playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
It looks similar to an ordinary brothel, but it stands out for its elegance, with its members being highly skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Paired with spiritual tea, the main focus is on elegance.
Besides its renowned spiritual tea, Xinyuan Pavilion is famous for many reasons.
However, since the two were discussing important matters here, neither of them played a song, and thus missed appreciating this famous aspect of Xinyuan Pavilion.
Firstly, Lin Xiuyuan was not used to this place.
Secondly, Xu Yuanji came here to negotiate peace, so he naturally didn't want anyone else present.
Lin Xiuyuan didn't quite understand this either. How could Xinyuan Pavilion achieve such a large scale, with a branch in almost every major city, and such a huge influence!
After all, local forces naturally have this type of industry, so it seems a bit inexplicable that Xinyuan Pavilion is almost the only one of its kind.
It's rather abnormal...
However, the hint of envy in Xu Yuanji's eyes that I saw earlier suggests that things are not so simple.
After all, if Xinyuan Pavilion is only like this, then a VIP token doesn't seem like a big deal, right?
After the two maids left.
Lin Xiuyuan, filled with curiosity, cupped his hands and said, "Elder Xu, this VIP token of Xinyuan Pavilion seems to be something special?"
"Um."
Xu Yuanji nodded and said, "People who don't know much about it probably think that Xinyuan Pavilion is just a teahouse, and there are quite a few who even think of it as a brothel."
