Hua Xin's eyes lit up when she heard Zhang Dai's question. She knew that this question was one of the rewards for this trial.
Brewing another pot of tea was the equivalent of eighty points of Divine Force. This was equivalent to two or three Divine Force Realm Beads. Hua Xin would never let go of such an opportunity. She glanced at Xia Pingan. From Xia Pingan's rough appearance, he might have the ability to refine soul armaments, but naming tea was something that required literary talent.
Hua Xin pondered for a moment before speaking to Zhang Dai. "Sir, this tea has an excellent color and smell. It's green like a pine tree, but there's also a rich aroma. Why don't we name it Auspicious Pine?"
"Auspicious Pine?" Zhang Dai repeated the name and then shook his head. "Miss, this name is not bad, but it doesn't quite match the charm of my tea …"
Xia Pingan glanced at Hua Xin and thought that this woman had some skills. Her name was not bad, it was already very appropriate. However, she did not know the origin of the tea in front of her. This tea should have been made by using the Suncast Snow Bud, referring to the ancient pine radish tea production process, and a special recipe to improve the tea with some jasmine. After it was made, the value of the originally ordinary Suncast Snow Bud rose sharply, and it became famous all of a sudden. It was Zhang Daiping's proud work, but unfortunately, this tea was later lost.
The name of this tea was only two words — Snow Orchid!
Seeing Hua Xin frowning as she thought of a new name, Zhang Dai turned to Xia Pingan and smiled. "Sir, what do you think this tea should be called?"
"The color and luster of this tea is like freshly peeled bamboo shoots. It's light green and like the window paper of a mountain window. When poured into a cup, this tea is like a simple and elegant orchid standing in the water. The whiter the snow, the more it smells, the better it is. It has the character of a gentleman, elegant but not flattering. Its color is amiable and its fragrance is pleasant. At this moment, the lake and mountain are snow-white. Why don't we call it Snow Orchid?" Let's call it Snow Orchid Tea! "Xia Pingan said calmly. Snow Orchid was a gentleman among flowers, noble and pure. The gentleman in front of him loved snow. The name Snow Orchid Tea was given by this gentleman. On the surface, it was a tea, but in fact, it was also referring to himself.
"Hahaha, Snow Orchid … Snow Orchid … Not bad, a good name, a good name. My little friend's words are very much to my liking!" Zhang Dai laughed. "To repay my little friend, I'll brew another pot of Snow Orchid Tea for you!"
"Thank you, Sir!"
Hua Xin looked at Xia Pingan in surprise. She didn't expect the burly Xia Pingan to come up with such a name.. For a moment, she was amazed by Xia Pingan's talent...................................................................
The pot of Snow Orchid Tea was quickly brewed. After drinking four cups of tea, Xia Pingan's divine power limit in the secret mandala increased by another 80 points, reaching 7,148 points. Hua Xin also benefited from the sudden increase in divine power.
The divine power limit of the secret mandala increased from 6,930 points to 8,820 points when advancing from the Six Sun Realm to the Seven Sun Realm. They needed to increase their divine power by 1,890 points. In the time it took to brew two cups of tea, the two of them had increased their divine power by 160 points. This was a huge gain. It was almost equivalent to completing one-twelfth of the goal of advancing to the next realm.
After finishing the pot of tea, Zhang Dai suddenly sighed softly and pointed at an exquisite potted plant beside the tea table behind him. "What do the two of you think of this potted plant?"
Zhang Dai casually pointed at it, and Xia Pingan turned his attention to the potted plant. Although he had seen the potted plant when he entered the pavilion, he had only glanced at it and didn't pay it much attention. In all fairness, the potted plant was too exquisite. The pine trees and grass on the potted artificial mountain were all miniature pine trees and some light green moss. Although Xia Pingan didn't know much about potted plants, he felt that there really was a mountain in the potted plant.
"Sir, this potted plant has fused heaven, earth, and mountains into one. The rocks, flowing water, flowers, and trees in the potted plant are vivid and lifelike. However, Sir, please don't blame me for being blunt. The moss and vegetation in the potted plant seem to have been improperly maintained and have turned yellow. It has made the potted plant lose much of its luster!" Hua Xin replied.
Zhang Dai sighed. "The two of you should have come from afar and should be knowledgeable. This is an exquisite potted plant I borrowed from a friend a few days ago. I like it very much, but after a few days at home, the potted plant has turned yellow due to my improper maintenance. It no longer has the spiritual qi and vitality it had before. I am currently troubled by this matter and have already visited many people and tried many methods. Unfortunately, none of them work. No one knows how to restore this potted plant to its original state.
How do you know how to restore the potted plant? "Hua Xin was very tempted when she heard Zhang Dai's question. This old man must have a special gift to repay her. However, restoring the potted plant's vitality was beyond her ability.
"I think … the plants in this potted plant don't lack water and nutrients, right?" Hua Xin asked tentatively. "Of course not.
I have asked the best gardeners to take a look. However, the plants in this potted plant are different from those in the soil. They cannot be removed or placed in the soil. The water used is also very particular. If you want to restore the spiritual qi and vitality of this potted plant, you will need a special secret method. I heard that this secret method is priceless and ordinary people would not know of it. If the two of you know of a secret method that can restore the spiritual qi and vitality of my potted plant, I will give the two of you another gift! "
Hua Xin doesn't speak anymore. The secret method to restore the vitality of this exquisite potted plant in front of her is no less difficult than fusing and unlocking a black box realm pearl. Not to mention her, even if her master was here, he would probably be at a loss.
At this moment, Hua Xin glanced at Xia Pingan and realized that Xia Pingan was not nervous at all. He even had a smile on his face that said he was in control of everything.
Yes, Xia Pingan was not a potted plant expert, but he was very familiar with Zhang Dai's life. The question Zhang Dai was asking them was the most difficult problem Zhang Dai had ever encountered. Zhang Dai had thought of countless methods and visited experts. In the end, he had finally found the secret method to restore the spiritual qi and vitality of the potted plant. Then, he had written the secret method in his book.
This old man was very particular about his knowledge in life. It was unimaginable for ordinary people. He could play to a high level in anything. In history, this old man was probably the first person in history who was worried about domestic "dairy products". This old man liked to eat cheese, but he was worried about the safety of foreign "dairy products". Therefore, he bought a cow and had someone raise it at home to make cheese for him.
Seeing Zhang Dai's gaze turn to him, Xia Pingan smiled. "That's simple. Sir, you only need to soak the ginseng in water and sprinkle the water on this potted plant. In a few days, this potted plant will definitely regain its spiritual qi and vitality!"
"Ginseng in water, sprinkle it with water!" Zhang Dai thought for a moment and suddenly understood. He revealed an excited expression and patted his head. "This ginseng absorbs the spiritual qi of the mountains and rivers of the world. Soaking ginseng in water is like dispersing the spiritual qi of the world into the water. Ginseng can be very nourishing for humans. If you sprinkle the ginseng water on the potted plant, won't the spiritual qi of the ginseng be returned to the world of the potted plant? Wonderful, wonderful …"
Zhang Dai laughed heartily and looked at Xia Pingan with great satisfaction. "My young friend really knows me well. It's really interesting to meet you here today!"
"Sir, you're too polite. I only read a little more and saw this method in the book. The person who left the book is really amazing!" Xia Pingan said sincerely.
"In any case, I still have to thank you for telling me!" As Zhang Dai spoke, he gently waved his hand, causing another door to appear outside the pavilion. "Behind this door is where I discovered the mystery of Zhuge Liang's Eight Front Formation when I traveled all over the world. There are different formation discs in the Eight Front Formation. There are 64 formation discs in Kui Province, which are part of the square formation. There are 128 formation discs in Mou Mi, which are part of the head formation. There are 256 formation discs in Chessboard City, which are part of the base formation. There are also formation discs at the foot of Dingjun Mountain in Mianshui. How much of the essence of the formation you can obtain will depend on your luck and ability …"
Formations? Xia Pingan was a little excited. He did not expect this old gentleman to give them such a generous gift in the end.
Xia Pingan and Hua Xin looked at each other and hurriedly stood up and bowed to Zhang Dai. "Thank you, Sir!"
"Take care, my young friends. I won't see you off. I hope we'll have a chance to meet again in the future!"
Xia Pingan and Hua Xin walked out of the pavilion and came to the door.
Xia Pingan took one last look at the old man in the pavilion and the snowy scenery of West Lake. He kept the scene in his heart before pushing open the door in front of him and taking a step into it …
