“Oh, Zhuyuan is here. Come in quickly.”

Chen Xuan heard the knock on the door and replied softly. Seeing Xia Zhuyuan enter, he said warmly, “You’re just in time. I just developed a new drink. Try it.”

“Tea?”

“It’s not tea. I call it “coffee”. It has the effect of refreshing the mind.”

“Coffee? I’ve never heard of it.”

“I already told you. It’s a new invention.”

“It’s my honor to be able to taste senior’s new drink.”

Xia Zhuyuan was flattered.

The last time Chen Xuan had served her with new tea leaves, she was already very honored.

She didn’t expect that there would be a new drink this time, and senior Chen was not stingy with it.

It seemed that she did have some weight in senior Chen’s heart.

“Yan Jin, take out my coffee beans. I want to make freshly ground coffee for Zhuyuan,” Chen Xuan called out.

With that, Yan Jin, who was dressed in a white robe, rushed over with a cup of black beans in her hand.

“Master, your coffee beans.” Yan Jin was respectful.

Xia Zhuyuan’s heart was full of envy when she saw Yan Jin again. This month, she had only been gone to participate in the Dao discussion conference, and Yan Jin’s strength had improved again. The latter was showing faint signs of a breakthrough to tier 9. It was indeed a blessing to follow senior Chen.

“Sister, you’re here.”

They had, after all, once been master and servant. As such, when Yan Jin saw Xia Zhuyuan, she was still very polite. However, she did not use the title “Your Majesty”.

In front of her master, who would dare to claim to be an Emperor?

It was enough to call her sister.

“Yes.”

Xia Zhuyuan nodded her head as she watched Chen Xuan take out the ten-thousand-year-old obsidian millstone. He ground the coffee beans into powder and placed them in a beautiful cup. Then, he filled the cup with hot water and used milk to draw a beautiful leaf on the coffee.

The whole process was very natural and charming.

It made people feel calm, focused, comfortable, and enjoyable.

Xia Zhuyuan was dazed, completely immersed in it.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled. “The final technique is a form of cappuccino art. This is the soul of the entire coffee-making process. Without it, the drink is just ordinary coffee. With it, this cup of coffee is no longer ordinary.”

“What’s that?”

Xia Zhuyuan’s eyes widened in curiosity.

“I call it cappuccino.”

“Cappuccino. What a nice name.”

Xia Zhuyuan took the cup of cappuccino from Chen Xuan, and her eyes started to shine.

There was a sweet feeling in her heart. It was the feeling of being pampered.

Because she realized that not only did the senior serve her his newly developed coffee, but he also served her premium coffee “cappuccino”.

Xia Zhuyuan sat down.

The bench was a simple wooden bench, and the table was also wooden. Senior Chen sat on the opposite side of the table while she sat on this side. There was a cup of cappuccino in front of them.

Oh no, why did she suddenly feel that this moment was inexplicably somewhat romantic?

If Yan Jin wasn’t there, she would have felt like she was on a date with senior Chen.

“Try it.” Chen Xuan smiled gently.

“Alright.” Xia Zhuyuan nodded, then took a sip of the coffee in her hand.

It tasted slightly bitter, which made the tip of her tongue subconsciously retreat. But when she thought of how the drink was made by the senior, her soft tongue couldn’t help but move forward. After the slightly bitter taste was sweetness.

This feeling of bitterness before sweetness was intoxicating.

Hence, her pink tongue began to take the initiative, becoming bold and flexible as it stirred back and forth in her mouth, activating different taste buds. It wrapped around the coffee from all directions, tasted it carefully, and sucked.

“Although it’s my first time tasting it and I can’t quite accept it, it still feels good after I’ve adapted to it.”

Xia Zhuyuan expressed her feelings.

Chen Xuan nodded.

This was the essence of coffee. It had such a magical power that when one first tasted it, one would not be able to adapt and would even reject it.

However, if one accepted it, one would slowly experience the tastes.

“Wait a little longer. Your body will have changes.”

Chen Xuan chuckled.

Coffee had the effect of refreshing one’s mind.

After a cup of coffee, he believed that Xia Zhuyuan would soon be able to appreciate the changes in her body.

As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Xia Zhuyuan’s big eyes flew open as she felt that there was indescribable energy in her body that was controlling her mental energy and rapidly increasing it.

In addition, a type of happiness factor seemed to be rapidly secreting in her brain.

After going through the tribulation at Xiangya Mountain for half a month and having to be careful when dealing with the big shots, Xia Zhuyuan’s mental state had been taut, on the verge of collapse from exhaustion.

But now, she was suddenly in high spirits. Her thoughts were clear and agile as if she had just woken up from a good sleep for several days.

“This is amazing. My mental energy is growing rapidly.”

Xia Zhuyuan carefully appreciated the changes in her body.

Before one became a celestial, one’s mental energy was also divided into nine tiers. Only when one’s mental energy reached tier 8 and above could one be called a telekinesis master. The reason why most people couldn’t become telekinesis masters was that the tier of their mental energy was not up to par.

Although Xia Zhuyuan was a tier 9 Martial God, her mental energy was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary Martial Artists at tier 4. However, after drinking a cup of cappuccino, her mental energy peaked in a short time.

Tier 4 mental energy.

Tier 5 mental energy.

Tier 6 mental energy.

Tier 7.

Tier 8.

In just a short while, Xia Zhuyuan’s mental energy was already comparable to a telekinesis master.

It was too terrifying.

Senior Chen’s place was indeed full of treasures. Even a new drink had unimaginable effects.

“Oh, by the way, did you come here this time for something?”

Chen Xuan also made himself a cup of coffee. As he sipped on it, he started chatting with Xia Zhuyuan.

“It’s like this, senior.” Xia Zhuyuan followed Chen Xuan’s actions and took a sip of her coffee.

After putting down her cup, she continued, “The conference in the Central Region I mentioned to you last time has already ended. The process was just as you said. It was full of deception and people’s hearts were unpredictable. There were indeed people who made things difficult, but with your reminder and my early preparations, I finally helped everyone survive the disaster.”

“The survivors want to meet you now. I wonder if you would like to meet them?”

Xia Zhuyuan’s attitude was humble.

Chen Xuan took a sip of his coffee and looked at the plaque with the words “Pure Heart Medical Cottage” that he had just put up.

He thought to himself, “Since I want to do business, it is inevitable that I have to deal with people. Xia Zhuyuan is a young lady from a large family. The people she recommends should also be from some powerful merchant families. It is good to meet them.”

“Bring them here in the afternoon tomorrow. But I only have an hour for you.”

He had been quite busy recently.

After all, he had to teach the female disciple he had just accepted, and the medical cottage had to be renovated. Other than that, he was also developing new drinks.

His schedule was still quite full after he took into account all the things he had to do.

“An hour is enough.”

Seeing that Chen Xuan had agreed, Xia Zhuyuan was overjoyed.

After returning to the imperial capital, she faced the group of big shots and said with a slight smugness, “I’ve managed to get you an hour of an audience with senior Chen. I’ll take you to see him in the afternoon tomorrow.”

An hour?

The big shots had waited for an entire day, but they only got an hour in exchange.

It was too short.

However, when they thought of the terrifying celestial artifacts that Xia Zhuyuan and Patriarch Dugu had used, they did not dare to voice their opinions. Instead, they smiled and said, “An hour is enough.”

“The expert must be with major matters of the world. We are the ones who have disturbed him rashly. It is already an honor for the expert to spare us an hour.”

Seeing that the big shots had no objections, Xia Zhuyuan heaved a sigh of relief.
