Chapter 289 Long Chen City (1/2)
”So during the Inner Court Disciple Examination, I fought the Jade Frog for the second time, and I—”
”Young Master, I'm back with the tea.” Feng Yuxiang returned to the living room an hour after she left to make tea, but since Yuan was too absorbed in telling Meixiu his experience with the game, he didn't notice how much time had passed.
It was the same for Meixiu, who was simply too absorbed in Yuan's story and his liveliness that made her forget about the passage of time.
”Thank you, Feng Feng,” Yuan said to her as she poured the tea for them.
”Hm? What kind of tea is this? It's all red.” Yuan asked her after picking up the teacup and noticing the red water that resembled watered-down blood.
”It's tea made from a valuable type of herb that can boost one's mental strength. People call it Crimson Lotus Tea.” Feng Yuxiang said.
Yuan proceeded to take a sip of this Crimson Lotus Tea after blowing it a few times.
”Oh? It's sweet.” Yuan mumbled in a surprised voice afterward, and he chugged the entire cup a moment later.
Ding!

Meixiu also gained the same stats after drinking the tea.
”Feng Feng, I drank a tea called Phoenix Blossom Tea before and it increased my Soul Strength. Is there a limit to how much benefit one can obtain from drinking tea or consuming treasures in general?” Yuan asked her afterward.
Feng Yuxiang nodded, ”Of course there is a limit, Young Master. If one can obtain strength from drinking the same tea every day, there wouldn't be so many cultivators risking their lives in the cultivation world.”
”When it comes to treasures that can be consumed, especially teas, there is a limit to how much benefit one can gain before their body stops benefitting from that specific treasure no matter how much more they consume.”
”Most treasures will only work once before one can no longer benefit from them. As for treasures that can benefit you multiple times, they are too few and far between.” Feng Yuxiang explained to him.
”I see…” Yuan mumbled.
”Anyways, I would still drink this tea even if I don't gain anything from it.” Yuan extended his cup and continued, ”Can I get another cup?”
”Of course you can.” Feng Yuxiang poured him another cup.

Sometime later, Meixiu said, ”Yuan, I have created an auction request for the Frozen Jade Zither, but it still needs to be verified. The staff asked me to give them my closest city so they can meet up and look at the treasure.”
Yuan nodded and turned to ask Feng Yuxiang, ”Where's the nearest city?”
”That would be Long Chen City, which was obviously named after the Dragon Essence Temple's Founder. And it's about 20 miles from this place.” Feng Yuxiang said.
”I see… Since there's still some time left before the Mystic Realm, let's try to sell the treasure.” Yuan said to Meixiu.
”Wait a second, Young Master. What are you trying to sell? The Frozen Jade Zither?” Feng Yuxiang asked him.
Yuan nodded, ”That's right. I don't really have a need for it since I already have the Soul Ensnaring Zither.”
”Why? Do you need money for something?”
”Yes.”
”If you want, I can give you some…” Feng Yuxiang said, even reaching for her spatial ring.
