BTTH: Starting with the Complete Memories of Yao Chen

Chapter 64: Cold Tea

Su Yun struggled to hold back his laughter but managed not to burst into laughter. He had received professional training and wouldn't laugh no matter how funny something was, unless he couldn't help it.

Su Yun noted down all the mistakes they made while explaining their understanding of alchemy. He planned to subtly point them out when it was his turn. This way, they would put in more effort when handling his requests.

Feeling a bit bored, Su Yun's gaze unconsciously shifted to Xue Mei and Linfei sitting nearby.

Xue Mei had a slender figure, with an icy and aloof demeanor between her brows, and her face was quite delicate. She had snowy-white skin and long silver hair that reached her waist.

In contrast, Linfei was different. She wore a purple robe, and while she was a bit smaller in stature, her body was unexpectedly shapely and alluring, with a captivating face.

These two beauties had different styles, and their appearance was delightful to behold.

Su Yun found it amusing that despite their mediocre alchemical skills, they were unexpectedly good at choosing apprentices.

A wicked thought flashed through Su Yun's mind, but he cleared his throat to suppress it. Only those in the know would understand.

After some time, Otto also finished his explanation.

"Cough, that's all the insights I have. Next, we should hear from Master Gu Fei Yang."

Otto coughed, clearly feeling a bit parched. Linfei immediately poured a cup of tea and handed it to her teacher.

Su Yun couldn't help smacking his lips when he saw this.

Damn, from now on, when I take on apprentices, no matter how talented they are, they must be good-looking, have a hot figure, and know how to serve me well.

Su Yun cleared his throat and put away his wicked thoughts. He then began to explain his own insights.

Unlike Fracklan and Otto, who only spoke for half an hour, Su Yun talked for a full two and a half hours, which equated to five hours in the other world's time. He continued speaking until it was dark outside.

Su Yun talked for so long for a reason. He not only shared some of his insights into being a fourth-grade alchemist but also pointed out the mistakes made by Fracklan and Otto during their explanations.

Listening to Su Yun's words, Fracklan and Otto were sweating profusely and appeared both enlightened and enthralled.

This was quite hard on Xue Mei and Linfei. Their teachers were delighted to listen, but they couldn't understand anything. It was like listening to a foreign language lecture in university, making their heads spin and their minds blank. Moreover, since Su Yun was here as a master alchemist, they had to sit there obediently.

Both of them had just recently advanced to the Dou Practitioner Realm, and they had started learning alchemy not long ago under their respective teachers. They had never experienced sitting for seven hours straight.

Su Yun cleared his throat and talked for five hours in one go. He was starting to feel a bit thirsty.

When Su Yun finally stopped, Fracklan and Otto were left wanting more. Fracklan heard Su Yun's cough and quickly had Xue Mei hand a cup of tea to Su Yun.

This was where the difference between the Guild Master and Vice Guild Master was apparent. While Otto was still savoring Su Yun's alchemical insights, Fracklan shifted his attention to Su Yun himself.

When Xue Mei heard Su Yun's cough, she quickly tried to stand up, but her legs felt numb...

Seeing this, Fracklan couldn't help but laugh and shake his head. This girl.

Otto also reacted and looked at his disciple, Linfei. When he turned his head, he happened to meet Linfei's eyes, which seemed to say, "Teacher, don't expect much from me; my legs are numb too."

Su Yun gave a cold snort, feeling a bit displeased.

At this moment, he began to miss Xiao Yi Xian. If that little brat were here, she wouldn't just be pouring tea; she'd probably be massaging his back and legs, pampering him with care.

Hearing Su Yun's voice, Fracklan and Otto quickly got up and poured a cup of tea for Su Yun, handing it to him.

However, to their surprise, Su Yun didn't make any move to take the cup. Instead, he coldly said, "You two can enjoy it yourselves."

Otto was somewhat confused, but Falkland, looking at the tea in his hand, gave a wry smile and understood.

These two girls had not changed the tea at all during the master's explanation. The tea had been cold for who knows how long.

"Please forgive us, Master Gu Feiyang. The girls are ignorant. I'll brew a pot of hot tea for you right now."

Hearing this, Otto also realized what had happened. He gave an awkward laugh, drank the tea in his hand in one gulp, and dared not say a word.

This hot tea had gone cold, and it really tasted bad.

Xuemei and Linfei also realized their mistake and buried their heads in their chests, not daring to breathe loudly.

In the following time, the atmosphere grew cold.

Falkland was brewing tea, and Su Yun had a cold expression and did not speak.

Otto, not very tactful, had no idea how to ease the atmosphere and could only wait for his old buddy to save the situation.

Xuemei and Linfei were even worse, still sitting cross-legged, their heads as low as ostriches.

After a long time, Falkland finally finished brewing the tea, poured a cup, and handed it to Su Yun.

"Master Gu Feiyang, this is my treasured Qingling Tea, which can clear the mind. Drinking it over a long time can also enhance a bit of soul power."

Su Yun took it and took a small sip.

There were still things for them to do, so he had to give them a way out.

Seeing Su Yun accept the tea, Falkland sighed in relief, understanding as a wise man.

This matter was now past.

Su Yun slowly sipped the tea, with the four accompanying him.

After finishing the tea, Su Yun put down the cup.

He nodded, "Indeed, it's good tea. Thank you for your generosity."

Seeing this, Falkland showed a smile.

"As long as the master likes it."

Saying so, Falkland took out a pound of tea leaves from his storage ring and handed them to Su Yun.

"Please accept this as an apology."

Su Yun unceremoniously accepted it, as it was his due.

Watching Su Yun's actions, Falkland felt like his heart was bleeding. This pound of tea leaves was his entire stock, and now he had given it all away in one go...

But it was all worth it.

Thinking of the insights Su Yun had shared earlier, Falkland's heart was on fire. This man in front of him was fundamentally different from those who had just stepped into the fourth rank.

Not only did he analyze the insights of a fourth-rank alchemist in depth, but he also pointed out their mistakes directly.

He had clearly been in the fourth rank for many years, perhaps even half-stepping into the fifth rank.

Su Yun put the Qingling Tea into his storage ring and spoke again.

"Chairman Falkland, I have another favor to ask."

Hearing this, Falkland was delighted and exchanged a glance with Otto.

This was good news. If they handled it well, the master might give them more guidance.

"Please speak, Master. I, Falkland, will do my best to help."

Otto also quickly echoed.

"I will do the same."

Su Yun nodded and said.

"I need some fourth-rank magic cores, the more the better, and some medicinal materials."

Su Yun listed the names of the medicinal materials one by one.

Falkland and Otto noted them down.

After listing the names, Su Yun stood up, planning to leave.
