The group arrived at the villa's living room and sat down. Xia Ruofei then introduced, "Brother Chen, this is Ling Qingxue, and this is Song Wei. They are both my … Dao Companions!"
Ling Qingxue and Song Wei did not expect Xia Ruofei to introduce them so directly. Immediately, a faint blush appeared on their faces.
Chen Xuan was not very surprised — in the world of cultivation, it was not uncommon for a powerful cultivator to have multiple Dao Companions. Of course, there were also cultivators who spent their entire lives alone. There were also cultivators who only had one Dao Companion. Even if their Dao Companion died, they would never be willing to remarry. For example, his father, Chen Nanfeng.
In any case, although it was not common for a cultivator to have multiple Dao Companions in the world of cultivation, it was still a normal phenomenon. At least, it would not attract the same condemnation as it did in the secular world.
Xia Ruofei immediately said to Ling Qingxue and Song Wei, "This is the young master of a sect, Chen Xuan. Brother Chen, at such a young age, he is already an early Aurous Core stage cultivator. Furthermore, he comes from a famous sect. His future is limitless!"
Chen Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Xia, ever since you appeared in the world of cultivation, the words' young and promising 'are no longer appropriate to describe me, right?"
Xia Ruofei could not help but laugh and said, "Based on the lifespan of Aurous Core stage cultivators, Brother Chen and I are of the same age."
When Ling Qingxue and Song Wei heard the young master of the number one sect in the world of cultivation praise Xia Ruofei, they could not help but feel honored. The two of them could not help but purse their lips and laugh.
Chen Xuan said to Song Wei and Ling Qingxue in a cultured and refined manner, "Greetings, sisters-in-law. Don't believe Brother Xia's praises. I only relied on the cultivation resources provided by my family to enter the Aurous Core stage a few years earlier than others. I believe that with Brother Xia's support, the two of you will not be older than me when you step into the Aurous Core Stage. "
Song Wei said with a smile, "Young Master Chen, you're too modest. Ruofei kept praising you in front of us! You are the leading figure of the younger generation in the cultivation world. "
Chen Xuan waved his hand and said, "You flatter me! You flatter me! Oh right, Sister-in-law, just call me by my name or call me Brother Chen like Brother Xia. Calling me Young Sect Leader Chen is a bit too distant. "
"Greetings, Brother Chen!" Song Wei and Ling Qingxue said in unison.
Chen Xuan nodded with a smile. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Sisters-in-law, I didn't prepare any gifts in advance for our first meeting. These two headdresses were obtained when I explored the ruins of ancient cultivators last time. I'll give them to you as a meeting gift!"
After that, Chen Xuan flipped his hand and took out two exquisite headdresses from his Storage Ring. He handed them to Song Wei and Ling Qingxue.
One of the two headdresses was in the shape of a phoenix spreading its wings and flying, while the other was in the shape of a delicate magnolia flower. One was moving and the other was still, but both were vivid and lifelike. Moreover, the material looked very special. It was neither gold nor jade. It had the texture of metal, but it also had the clarity and luster of jade. It was obviously not made of materials commonly seen in the secular world.
"This …" Song Wei and Ling Qingxue looked at each other, then simultaneously looked at Xia Ruofei.
They did not know whether they should accept Chen Xuan's meeting gift, so they naturally left the decision to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Since it's a gift from Brother Chen, you should accept it!"
Song Wei and Ling Qingxue reached out to take the headdresses and said in unison, "Thank you, Brother Chen!"
The two of them did not need to discuss and tacitly chose the headdresses they liked. Song Wei took the magnolia headdress, while Ling Qingxue chose the flying phoenix headdress. It was quite compatible with their personalities.
The two of them held the headdresses in their hands and immediately felt a refreshing coolness. It seemed that their minds were refreshed and they became much more clear-headed.
Chen Xuan said with a smile, "These two headdresses have the effect of calming the mind and concentrating the spirit. After wearing them, you can cultivate with twice the result with half the effort. For cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, the effect is very good. Originally, I found two Rainbow Feather Garments with these two headdresses. However, the Rainbow Feather Garments have been eroded by the passage of time and are very tattered. Otherwise, they would be more suitable for my two sisters-in-law. "
"Thank you, Brother Chen!" Xia Ruofei said from the side, "Your gift is very good! It's also very suitable for Weiwei and Qingxue. Thank you! "
Song Wei and Ling Qingxue also expressed their gratitude to Chen Xuan once again.
Chen Xuan waved his hand and said, "Brother Xia did not tell me in advance that my two sisters-in-law would be here today, so I did not prepare a special greeting gift. Originally, wild tea would be more suitable, but with Brother Xia's temperament of being protective of women, I believe that my two sisters-in-law have already consumed it. "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Brother Chen knows me best!"
At this moment, Song Wei stood up and said, "Ruofei, accompany Brother Chen for a while! Qingxue and I will prepare dinner. "
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you …"
In fact, Xia Ruofei was almost done preparing dinner. Song Wei and Ling Qingxue only needed to stir-fry a few more vegetables and watch the fire. Moreover, Song Wei's culinary skills were not bad, so it was not a problem for him to complete these tasks. As for Ling Qingxue … it was fine as long as she did not help.
Only Xia Ruofei and Chen Xuan were left in the living room.
Xia Ruofei poured away the tea leaves that Song Wei and Ling Qingxue had just brewed and cleaned the tea set. Then, he took out the Taoyuan Da Hong Pao and skillfully brewed tea while chatting with Chen Xuan.
"Brother Chen, are you used to working in our company these days?" Xia Ruofei asked.
"It's pretty good." Chen Xuan smiled and said, "I'm the same as everyone else. Every time I clock in and out, I eat in the company cafeteria. Occasionally, I go back and cook for myself at night. Squeezing into the public transport and subway with ordinary people … All of this is a very new experience for me. Moreover, being able to experience ordinary people's emotions at a close distance is indeed very beneficial for the cultivation of the mind. "
In fact, at this stage, Chen Xuan's cultivation accumulation was more important. Therefore, compared to entering the secular world to gain experience, the better choice would be to concentrate on cultivation in the blessed cave. When he encountered a bottleneck, he would enter the secular world to cultivate and find an opportunity to break through in one fell swoop.
However, Chen Xuan's temperament was relatively mild. Moreover, it was his father's order, so he quickly adjusted his mentality. Since he was already here, he would take things as they came. He calmly began his journey of cultivation and really experienced the ordinary joys and sorrows of the secular world.
Xia Ruofei poured the brewed tea into a cup and handed it to Chen Xuan. Then, he smiled and asked, "The people in the development department didn't deliberately make things difficult for you, right? If you have any grievances, just tell me directly. I'll deal with them! "
In fact, Xia Ruofei was also worried that the people in the development department would be jealous of Chen Xuan and deliberately make things difficult for him. If they angered this master, wouldn't the company be in a mess? People's lives would be a matter of minutes! As the saying goes, "When a son is angry, blood will flow like a pestle". Chen Xuan's ability was much stronger than those emperors of the secular world in the past!
If something really happened, Xia Ruofei would rather help Chen Xuan himself and deal with a few employees. As long as it could make Chen Xuan feel better, then everything would be fine.
Chen Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Xia, please don't do that. Also, don't specifically ask me to give you special treatment. Otherwise, it would lose the meaning of the cultivation experience!"
Chen Xuan seemed to be able to guess Xia Ruofei's worries, so he said seriously, "Brother Xia, don't worry. Everyone in the development department is very good to me. Even if something like you happens, how can I, a Golden Core Stage cultivator, lower myself to the same level as the ordinary people of the secular world! No matter how much grievances I suffer, it's also a form of tempering my mind! "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Alright then! But I still hope that Brother Chen can finish his cultivation experience as soon as possible … Our Taoyuan Company is too small. When a great god like you squats there, I'm scared out of my wits … "
Chen Xuan revealed an awkward expression and said, "It shouldn't be too long! Manager Feng attaches great importance to the Taoyuan Shopping Center project. Recently, he has been strengthening the development efforts. Our progress has been greatly accelerated. I estimate that in less than a month, we should be able to develop the internal version. As for the follow-up tests and adjustments, I don't need to participate. When that time comes, Brother Xia doesn't need to chase me away. I will take the initiative to leave. "
"Let's hope so …" Xia Ruofei secretly made up his mind as he spoke. He would ask Feng Jing to recruit more programmers. It would be best if he could poach two big names in the industry. The development of the Taoyuan Shopping Center could continue to speed up! As long as he could make Chen Xuan leave as soon as possible, spending a little more money and hiring a few more people was nothing.
After the two of them drank tea for a while, Song Wei and Ling Qingxue walked out of the kitchen with the prepared dinner.
Song Wei smiled and said, "Dinner is ready! Come over and chat while we eat! "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "I'm coming!"
Then, he put down his teacup, stood up and said, "Brother Chen, let's go and have dinner! You're used to eating the delicacies of the cultivation world. Today, you can try the home-cooked food of the secular world. I hope you don't mind. "
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "I've been eating home-cooked food of the secular world recently! For example, I think the food in our company's cafeteria is pretty good! Even in the sect, the ingredients we eat are actually similar to the ingredients of the secular world. Ingredients like the legendary spiritual rice, because of the deterioration of the cultivation environment, very few people would waste money and manpower to grow them. "
Xia Ruofei touched his nose and said with a smile, "That's true! In fact, it's not easy to be a cultivator now … "
The two of them came to the table together. Song Wei and Ling Qingxue quickly brought the dishes prepared in the kitchen to the table. They were indeed some home-cooked dishes of the secular world — boiled fish, braised beef, vinegar cabbage, bitter gourd soup … However, Xia Ruofei and Song Wei were good at cooking, so these home-cooked dishes looked good and emitted a fragrant smell, which greatly increased one's appetite.
Xia Ruofei directly took out two bottles of Semillon white wine from the Ring-Tu space and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, try this western wine today! I guess you usually don't drink much. "
The Semillon wine was brewed in West Winery in Australia, but Xia Ruofei had stored it in the Ring-Tu space for a long time, so the taste should be very good.
Of course, the wine must have more or less absorbed some spiritual energy. With Chen Xuan's level, he could naturally taste it.
However, wine was different from other ingredients. Many cultivators, after obtaining good wine, would store it in a cellar with rich spiritual energy, so it was normal for good wine to contain a little spiritual energy. With Xia Ruofei's background as a "Nascent Soul Stage disciple", it was normal for him to take out wine with some spiritual energy. It was just right for his identity!
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Our company in the secular world has also dealt with some western wine, but we really don't drink much. It seems that I'm in luck today!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and opened the wine. As he poured wine for everyone, he said, "Weiwei and Qingxue, drink a little too! This Semillon is sweet, so it's suitable for girls. "
Song Wei and Ling Qingxue both smiled and nodded.
After pouring the wine, Xia Ruofei raised his cup and said with a smile, "Let's drink the first cup together! It's fate to be able to sit down and drink together in the secular world! What's more, Brother Chen has joined my company. I also … use this cup of wine to express my welcome to Brother Chen! "
Chen Xuan looked a little embarrassed. He raised his cup and said, "This time, it was indeed our sect's fault. I also express our apology to Brother Xia on behalf of our sect. I hope Brother Xia can forgive us!"
"Brother Chen, you're too serious. Come, cheers!" Xia Ruofei said. Then, he raised his head and drank the wine in his cup first. He wiped his mouth and said, "Weiwei and Qingxue can drink as much as you want!"
Chen Xuan also drank the wine in one gulp. His eyes lit up slightly and he said, "Good wine! Brother Xia, this wine also contains Spirit Qi. It's not inferior to the wine that has been stored in our sect's cellar for many years! "
Xia Ruofei's Semillon was stored in the Primordial Realm. Under the thirty times faster flow of time, this batch of wine had been stored in an environment rich in Spirit Qi for many years. Compared to the wine stored in the sect's cellar, it was not inferior at all.
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Brother Chen, if you like it, drink more. There's enough wine for today!"
After saying that, he directly took out a box from the Ring-Tu space and placed it next to the dining table.
Everyone present was a cultivator, so Xia Ruofei did not need to be secretive. It was fine if he directly took the items from the Ring-Tu space. In any case, everyone thought that Xia Ruofei took them out from a storage artifact. They did not know that Xia Ruofei actually had a magical cave artifact.
Chen Xuan waved his hand and said, "I can't hold my liquor. I can't drink so much."
Xia Ruofei also smiled and said, "Actually, my liquor capacity is limited. Let's drink until we're satisfied. I won't urge you to drink!"
When Song Wei and Ling Qingxue saw this, they could not help but look at each other. Then, they pursed their lips and laughed — two Golden Core cultivators actually could not hold their liquor. If they really did not want to get drunk, even ten boxes of this wine would be useless!
Xia Ruofei, Chen Xuan, Song Wei, and Ling Qingxue drank and chatted about the cultivation world. Song Wei and Ling Qingxue did not know much about the cultivation world, so most of the time, they were the audience and rarely interjected.
After three rounds of drinking, Xia Ruofei suddenly said, "Brother Chen, have you ever thought of gathering the other two sects with the Five Sages Token and studying the four tokens together?"
