The middle-aged man pushed open the door and entered. The moment he entered, his expression changed. It wasn't that he recognized Ling Xian's identity, it was that he smelled the aroma of tea in the air.
"Someone who casually brewed a cup of Tea of Enlightenment for a stranger is so generous. It is rare to see someone like that." Manager Qian silently complimented. As the manager of this place, he has seen many important figures. Which one of them wasn't arrogant and arrogant?
What he meant was, treat him like a normal cultivator and don't ask about his background.
It was a complete waste for you to give me the Tea of Enlightenment!
Qian Lai's face flashed with hesitation. Seeing Ling Xian's frown, his expression changed and he carefully said, "About that … it's not that I don't want to help. It's just that the Sail Merchant House has always been known for its reputation. Since those tickets have been booked, they cannot be changed unless someone comes to refund them. "
"Wait a minute."
This was because the person in front of him was a cultivator who could casually brew Dao Enlightenment Tea.
The middle-aged man frowned and suddenly remembered something. His expression turned into shock and he exclaimed, "This is … Tea of Enlightenment?"
"Since I took out the Petal of Enlightenment, of course it is for you." Ling Xian grinned.
For someone to be able to brew tea of enlightenment for a stranger, just how powerful of a background did he have? Just how rich did he have to be to be able to support such a feat?
Qian Lai wanted to cry but no tears came out. He wished he was looking at a pile of shiny spiritual stones and not a cup of tea that was already brewed. Though he was a profiteer, he was not someone who didn't know what was good for him.
Qian Lai didn't dare to imagine what Ling Xian was like. He suddenly felt that the big shots he had seen in the past, who spent money like dirt, were nothing compared to this mysterious young master in front of him.
"Though it is not what I wanted, to be able to board the ship is enough." Ling Xian smiled and muttered to himself, "Now, I just have to wait."
"Hehe, after all, that is a cargo hold. It is disrespectful to let you stay there." Qian Lai chuckled, feeling very awkward.
Then, he stepped onto the ship and set sail towards the most prosperous Trading Island on the 36 islands.
As he spoke, a crystal clear petal of the Petal of Enlightenment fell into the teacup across from him. Immediately, the fragrance filled the air, and the fragrance was pleasing to the nose.
In fact, he didn't even pay so much attention to his immediate superior.
"Alright, go. Don't miss the hour." Ling Xian grinned and gestured for the money to come.
One Petal of Enlightenment for a single cargo hold?
That respect came from the unknown, from Ling Xian's mysteriousness.
Squandering money like dirt was nothing!
Not to mention the cargo hold, even if it was a first-class cabin, those big shots would still show their dissatisfaction and insist on a first-class cabin. Otherwise, those people would feel that it was an insult to their status.
Ling Xian was a little startled and laughed, "No wonder you are stuttering. You are afraid that I will get angry because of this."
He was the manager of this place, so he naturally knew that there was spirit water and three or four types of tea leaves in every guest hall for the guests to choose from.
In the reception hall of Yangfan Trading Company.
"That's right." Ling Xian nodded softly and smiled, "Manager Qian, come and try the tea of enlightenment."
If this was anyone else, he wouldn't be so careful. But before him was someone who didn't think much of the Petal of Enlightenment. Naturally, he was afraid that Ling Xian would vent his anger on him.
But Ling Xian could afford to waste it. Not to mention casually making a cup, even if he had to make a cup and pour a cup, he could afford it!
It was obvious that Ling Xian's actions, in his eyes, were a waste. Or it could be said that anyone would have such a mentality.
"It really is the Tea of Enlightenment."
As soon as he spoke, Qian Lai's heart froze. He was a businessman and had seen all kinds of cultivators. He was well-versed in reading people's expressions. Therefore, he knew very well that although Ling Xian's statement sounded gentle, it was a warning.
My god, how rich did he have to be to dare to do this?!
Instantly, Manager Qian's hand shook and the respect in his eyes intensified.
Seeing this, Ling Xian understood and grinned, "Manager Qian, there is no need to guess who I am. You only need to understand one thing. I am here to buy a ticket and I am a normal cultivator. That is enough."
Qian Lai?
Hearing this, Qian Lai became even more excited. His fat body was quivering. Even though he was the manager of this place and had a lot of power, he has never tasted the Tea of Enlightenment.
"I …"
"Very well, then let's cut to the chase." Ling Xian nodded in satisfaction, "I heard from the woman just now that the ship to the Trading Island has run out of tickets. I wonder if Manager Qian can help me think of another way?"
Perhaps this was the only way to achieve success on the path of cultivation without paying attention to material pleasures.
"Ayo, you are flattering me." Qian Lai bitterly chuckled, "I am already very sorry for letting such an important person stay in the cabin. How can I accept your spiritual stones?"
Why don't you just give me spiritual stones?
"You sure are knowledgeable." Ling Xian had a smile on his lips and nodded at the middle-aged man.
Yet at this moment, while waiting for the middle-aged man, Ling Xian casually brewed a cup. Why wouldn't everyone be shocked?
Yet Ling Xian was so approachable and didn't seem to care about the fact that the cabin did not match his status. How generous was he?
Qian Lai silently cursed. He finally understood that Ling Xian really didn't care about the Petal of Enlightenment and was a truly important person!
What the!
Seeing that the mysterious young man wasn't angry, he sighed in relief and silently complimented Ling Xian's generosity.
The middle-aged man's heart ached. He was a greedy, stingy person who valued money. Therefore, when he sees someone wasting money, even if it has nothing to do with him, he feels pained.
This made him even more shocked and he felt like he couldn't see through Ling Xian.
That was the Tea of Enlightenment that was worth thousands of taels of gold. Even powerhouses like the Supreme Headmasters only dared to brew a cup of it when they were in isolation.
"I …"
Steward Qian hesitated for a moment before he cautiously said, "If Young Master insists on leaving today, I do have an idea, but …"
"Do not worry, I know the rules." Qian Lai smiled.
"This … this is for me?" Qian Lai was stunned. He took a whiff of the tea's aroma, and his chubby face was filled with intoxication.
Qian Lai was shocked. The way he looked at Ling Xian was full of respect.
"You must be joking." Qian Lai smiled and sat down on the chair across from Ling Xian. "I know why you are here. You want to buy a ticket to the Trading Island today, am I right?"
"Do not worry, it will be ready soon." Qian Lai smiled and walked out of the door.
The middle-aged man was even more shocked. Originally, after hearing the lady's description, he didn't think much of Ling Xian. He thought Ling Xian was at most a young master of a small clan. But now, he retracted his underestimation and turned it into respect.
If you have the ability, why did you use the Petal of Enlightenment like it was dirt?
"This aroma …"
However, as excited as he was, he was also a little annoyed.
"My name is Qian Lai. I am the manager of the Sail Trading House. Nice to meet you." The middle-aged man paid his respect.
"But what?" Ling Xian's eyes brightened. Seeing that Qian Lai was stuttering, he grinned, "Manager Qian, please speak your mind."
Ling Xian sat on the redwood chair and crossed his legs. In his hand was a cup of tea of enlightenment.
"Cargo hold?"
"Thank you for your understanding. I will arrange it for you." Qian Lai paid his respect and was about to leave.
"Sigh … He casually made a cup of Dao Comprehension Tea. How enviable, jealous, and hateful."
Being able to board the ship and have a place to stay was enough.
"Let's use it as a bargaining chip."
Ling Xian was a little startled and teased, "Your name is very interesting. But it is also very appropriate. I am here today to give you money."
"It's okay. Cargo hold is cargo hold. I am not that particular about it." Ling Xian brandished his hand. He used to be a small character and was not a spoiled young master. Why would he care about the difference between cargo hold and passenger hold?
"Oh well, if that's the case, then I will not trouble you." Ling Xian softly sighed, thinking that he would not be able to sail in a short period of time.
Seeing that Ling Xian did not show his dissatisfaction, Manager Qian sighed in relief and wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead.
"I see. Being honest is a good thing." Ling Xian's frown disappeared. He was not an unreasonable person. Since the Sail Trading House was so honest, then he would not cause trouble for no reason.
Though the tea was not bad, it was not considered good either. Therefore, when he smelled the aroma of this tea, he was a little shocked.
"This … is simply a waste of God's gifts!"
"You don't want it, but I have to give it to you." Ling Xian softly grinned and flapped around his sleeve. A crystal clear Petal of Enlightenment flew into Manager Qian's hand.
"Okay, if I have offended you in any way, please forgive me." Manager Qian clenched his teeth, "It's like this. The tickets are all sold out, but there is a cargo hold that is empty. If you don't mind, you can stay there. "
Then, he sipped on the Tea of Enlightenment and waited for Qian Lai to return.
The middle-aged fatty silently sighed and suppressed all the negative emotions he was feeling. When he raised his head, a fawning smile immediately appeared on his chubby face. It was as if a flower had bloomed from his smile.
"Then give it a try." Ling Xian continued to smile and sipped on the tea in his cup.
That would be the place where he would shine brightly and become famous overseas.
Ling Xian smiled and asked, "Manager Qian, you haven't told me the price yet."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist. I'm not afraid to say it out loud, but this is the first time I've drunk the Enlightenment Tea." Qian Lai gave a simple and honest smile, and a trace of gratitude flashed through his small eyes that were almost squeezed out of sight.
