426 Like orchid like snow
When she heard Zhang Dai’s question, Hua Yan’s eyes lit up. She knew that this question might be one of the reward conditions for this round.
Another pot of tea would be equivalent to another 80 points of divine power, which was equivalent to the effect of two or three divine power realm pearls. How could Hua Yan let go of such an opportunity? she glanced at Xia Pingan. Judging from Xia Pingan’s forthright appearance, he might have the ability to refine soul tools, but he was definitely not good at things like naming tea, which required literary talent.
Thus, Hua Yan thought about it and muttered to himself for a moment before saying to Zhang Dai, ” Sir, this tea has excellent color and smell. It’s Green like a pine, white in the green, and has a strong fragrance. Why don’t we name it auspicious pine!
“Ruisong?” Zhang Dai softly read the two words and then shook his head slightly. miss, your name is not bad, but it doesn’t fit the charm of my tea.
Xia ping ‘an glanced at Hua Yan and thought to herself,’ this woman is quite capable. Her name is not bad, and it’s already very appropriate.’However, she did not know the origin of the tea in front of her. This tea should be an improved version of sun-cast snow sprout that referenced the manufacturing process of the ancient Usnea tea according to a special formula and added some jasmine flowers. After it was made, the value of the originally ordinary sun-cast snow sprout skyrocketed, and it became famous all over the world. It was Zhang Dai’s proudest work in his life, but it was a pity that this tea was lost later.
The name of this tea was only two words-snow orchid!
Seeing Hua Yan frowning as he thought of a new name, Zhang Dai turned his gaze to Xia Pingan and smiled. what name do you think this tea should be named, young master? ”
“The color of this tea is as green as peeled bamboo shoots and as fresh as the window paper facing the mountain. With the morning sunshine, if you pour the tea into a cup, you will find the tea is like white orchids standing in the water. The whiter it is in the snow, the more fragrant it will be. It’s elegant but not inferior. Its color is amiable and its fragrance is pleasant. With such a scene, the lake and the mountain are all white, how about calling it snow orchid?” Xia ping ‘an said calmly. This orchid was a gentleman among flowers and had a noble character. The gentleman in front of her loved snow very much. The name of the snow orchid tea was given by this gentleman. On the surface, he was talking about tea, but in fact, he was also talking about himself.
hahaha, Xuelan Feifei, Xuelan Feifei is not bad. Good name, good name. What you said is to my liking! Zhang Dai laughed heartily. to reward you, I will make you another pot of snow orchid tea!
“Thank you, sir!”
Hua Yan looked at Xia ping ‘an in surprise. He had never expected that the burly Xia ping’ an would be able to come up with such a name and speak such a logic. For a moment, he was stunned by Xia ping ‘an’s talent, and his eyes sparkled.
A pot of snow orchid tea was quickly brewed, and he drank another four cups of tea in a row. The upper limit of Xia Pingan’s divine power in his secret mandala had increased by another 80 points, reaching 7148 points. Hua Yan had also benefited from the sudden increase in his divine power.
To advance from the six sun realm to the seven sun realm, the secret mandala’s divine power upper limit had to be increased from 6930 points to 8820 points, and it required 1890 points of divine power. In just two pots of tea’s time, the two of them had gained 160 points of divine power. This was a great gain, almost equivalent to completing one-twelfth of the advancement goal for the current realm.
After finishing the pot of tea, Zhang Dai suddenly sighed and pointed to an exquisite landscape potted plant on the tea table behind him. what do you two think of this potted plant? ”
As Zhang Dai pointed casually, Xia Pingan finally noticed the potted plant. When he had entered the pavilion earlier, he had also seen the plant, but he had only given it a quick glance and had not paid it much attention. To be honest, the potted plant was simply too exquisite. The pine trees and lawn on the artificial mountain were all shrunken versions of pine trees and had some light green moss. Although Xia Pingan did not know much about potted plants, he felt that there really seemed to be a mountain in the potted plant.
Sir, this potted plant combines the sky, the earth, the mountains, the rivers, the flowers, and the trees. They’re very vivid. However, please forgive me for being blunt. I find that the mosses and plants in this potted plant have turned yellow due to improper maintenance, causing it to lose its luster! Hua Yan replied.
Zhang Dai sighed. the two of you must have come from far away and are very knowledgeable. I borrowed this beautiful landscape potted plant from a friend a few days ago. I like it very much, but after a few days of growing it at home, it withered due to my improper maintenance. It no longer has the spiritual energy and vitality it used to have. I’m troubled by this right now. I’ve already visited many people and tried many methods, but unfortunately, none of them worked. No one knows how to restore the potted plant to its original state. Do you two little friends know how to save that potted plant?”
Hua Yan was moved by Zhang Dai’s question. This old gentleman must have given her a special gift to repay her, but how to restore the aura and vitality of this potted plant was beyond her ability.
I don’t think the plants in Yingying’s potted plant lack water and nutrients, right? ” Hua Yan asked tentatively.
of course not. I’ve even asked the best gardeners to check it. However, the plant in this potted plant is different from that in the soil. It can’t be taken off or put in the soil. The water material is also very particular. If you want this potted plant to recover its vitality, you need a special secret method. I was told that this secret method is priceless and could barely be known by commoners. If you could know the secret method to recover the vitality of my potted plant, I would like to give you another gift!
Hua Yan did not say anything. The secret technique to restore the vitality of this exquisite potted plant in front of her was no less than the solution to fuse and unseal a black box realm Pearl. Even her master would be at a loss if he were here, let alone her.
At this moment, Hua Yan glanced at Xia ping ‘an and realized that Xia ping’ an was not nervous at all. There was even a smile on her face as if she had everything under control.
Yes, Xia Pingan was not a potted plant expert, but he was extremely familiar with Zhang Dai’s life. The question Zhang Dai was asking them was the most difficult problem he had ever encountered. Zhang Dai had thought of countless ways and visited many experts. In the end, he had finally found the secret method to restore the spirit Qi vitality of the potted plants. Then, he had written that secret method down in his book.
This old man’s knowledge of life was beyond ordinary people’s imagination. He was able to reach a high level in anything he played. In history, this old man was probably the first person in history to be worried about domestic ” dairy products. this old man liked to eat cheese, but he was worried about the safety of the ” dairy products ” outside, so he bought his own cow and let others raise it at home, making cheese for himself.
When he saw Zhang Dai’s gaze turn to him, Xia Pingan smiled slightly. that’s simple. Sir, you just need to soak the ginseng in water and sprinkle it on this bonsai. In just a few days, this bonsai will definitely regain its spirit Qi and vitality!
“Soak the ginseng in water and sprinkle it with water!” Zhang Dai pondered for a moment and suddenly realized something. He looked excited and even patted his head. this ginseng absorbs the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth. By soaking the ginseng in water, the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth will be dispersed into the water. Eating the ginseng is very nourishing. If the ginseng water is poured into the potted plant, isn’t the spiritual Qi of the ginseng returning to the world of the potted plant? wonderful, wonderful!
Zhang Dai laughed heartily and looked at Xia ping ‘an with great satisfaction. you’re my confidant. It’s really interesting to meet you here today!
you’re too kind, Sir. I only read a few more books and saw this method in them. The person who left a message is really amazing! Xia Pingan said sincerely.
“No matter what, I still have to thank young friend for telling me!” As Zhang Dai spoke, he waved his hand gently, and another door appeared outside the pavilion. behind this door is where I discovered the secret of Zhuge Liang’s eight formation diagram when I traveled the world. There are different formation disks in the eight formation diagram, and the essence of the formation is contained within. There are 64 formations in Yingzhou, which are square formations. There were 128 formations in MoU mi, which were the leading formations. There are 256 formations in the chess board market, and there are also formations at the foot of Dingjun Mountain in qiushui (Note 1). How much essence of the formations you two little friends can get will depend on your luck and skills, hehe.”
Formation? Xia Pingan was a little excited. She didn’t expect this old man to give her such a generous gift.
Xia Pingan and Hua Yan looked at each other. They quickly stood up and bowed to Zhang Dai. Thank you, sir!
take care, my two little friends. I won’t see you off. I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future!
Xia ping ‘an and Hua Yan 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 snow-covered West Lake in front of him. He engraved the scene in front of him in his heart. Then, he suddenly pushed open the door in front of him and stepped in.
