Visiting Senior Xu

In a secret chamber of the Tianren Sect, the painting Calabash Brothers Save Grandpa was placed on a table. Qin Tian and Jiang Taiyuan were contemplating the Daoist charm within it.

Qin Yudie was also present, but she had already experienced it and only needed to slowly digest and comprehend.

After carefully contemplating for a moment, Jiang Taiyuan said with regret, "This painting contains the Great Dao of heaven and earth, a rare treasure. It's a pity it doesn't align with the cultivation technique I practice."

Directly sensing this Daoist charm was beneficial to him, but he was not a cultivator of this path and couldn't directly break through realms like Qin Tian after comprehending it.

Qin Tian cultivated the Heavenly Human Art and had a deeper understanding of the painting than Jiang Taiyuan. He sighed, "To be able to integrate the Dao into a painting, the creator of this artwork must be an unfathomably profound senior expert."

Afterward, he and Jiang Taiyuan looked at Qin Yudie curiously and asked in unison, "Yudie, how did you acquire this painting?"

Qin Yudie thought of the handsome young man, a sense of admiration rising in her heart. She said, "The owner of this painting gave it to me."

That senior, who could give her such a painting, possessed a magnanimity she had never seen before.

"What? The creator of the painting!" Qin Tian exclaimed excitedly, "Where is that senior? Quickly, take me to pay my respects!"

In Tianren City, Qin Yudie felt a bit uneasy. She reminded Qin Tian and Jiang Taiyuan again, "Grandpa, Grandpa Jiang, that Senior Xu is a hidden master. He must want to experience the mortal world as a commoner. Be careful not to talk about cultivation matters, lest you displease Senior Xu."

She wasn't sure if Xu Yan would be happy to see her, but Xu Yan had been kind to her that morning and even gave her the painting, so she had come.

At this moment, Xu Yan was writing under the osmanthus tree in front of the small shop. He was writing the poem, "Before me, I see no ancients; behind me, I see no successors."

After he finished the last stroke, he noticed three people standing behind him, gazing at the poem he had just written with rapt attention.

What's going on? Isn't this the girl from this morning? Why did she bring two old men?

Xu Yan asked, puzzled, "Miss Qin, who are these two?"

He already had a general idea. Seeing how much the two old men liked his poem, he guessed they were also art enthusiasts, brought by the girl to visit him, a master of calligraphy and painting.

Hearing Lin Yansheng's voice, Qin Tian and Jiang Taiyuan quickly shifted their attention from the poem and bowed to Lin Yansheng, cupping their fists. "Senior Xu, we have come to visit you by reputation."

When they first saw how young Xu Yan was, they had some doubts about whether Qin Yudie had made a mistake.

But after seeing the poem Xu Yan had written, they realized how utterly wrong they had been. The person before them was definitely a true hidden master.

Not only could he write such an exquisite poem, but he could also integrate the Great Dao into it. He must be a senior whose cultivation had reached the pinnacle.

As for his youthful appearance, it was easily understood. If he couldn't even maintain his youthful appearance, was he truly a peak expert?

Xu Yan did not expect two old men who could be his grandfathers to bow and call him senior. He quickly got up and helped Qin Tian and Jiang Taiyuan up, saying with a wry smile, "Why are you two elders being so formal?"

Today, it was the first time he realized how important talent was. It could not only conquer young girls but also old men.

Qin Tian's eyes darted slightly as he asked, "Senior Xu, do you live here usually?"

This place was very close to the Tianren Sect. If Senior Xu lived here, he would have many opportunities to visit him.

As the saying goes, "The closest water tower gets the moon first." He could also be the first to receive Senior Xu's guidance.

Xu Yan smiled and said, "I've always lived here. You two elders can visit often."

He observed that the two old men had ruddy complexions and did not look like ordinary old men; they were likely cultivators.

Having conquered two cultivators with his talent again, he had calmed down and wanted to say nonchalantly.

Talent is truly amazing!

Qin Tian and Jiang Taiyuan both showed joy on their faces. The former said with a quickened breath, "Since Senior appreciates it, I will visit Senior often."

He had already envisioned the scene of the Tianren Sect's prosperity. If they could latch onto Senior Xu, this great tree—no, this towering tree—why worry about not rising?

"Alright, two elders, and Miss Qin, please come in and sit down," Xu Yan said, putting away his calligraphy.

With guests arriving, he had to brew a pot of tea, after all, they were his admirers.

Qin Yudie, Qin Tian, and Jiang Taiyuan followed Xu Yan into the "What Are You Looking At" small shop.

Then, they saw the various calligraphy and paintings hanging in the shop's front hall. An endless will of the Great Dao surged towards them, leaving them stunned.

Qin Yudie was relatively fine. She had felt it last time and was mentally prepared this time, so she quickly broke free from the will of the Great Dao, not daring to delve too deeply into the Daoist charm within the artworks.

Beside her, Qin Tian and Jiang Taiyuan had already fallen into the various Daoist charms.

Xu Yan cleared a table and brewed a pot of tea. Noticing that Qin Yudie and the two old men were still standing there, he called out, "Two elders, Miss Qin, please sit. I've already brewed the tea."

As soon as his voice sounded, the Daoist charm in the outer hall instantly disappeared, and everything returned to calm.

Qin Tian and Jiang Taiyuan finally emerged from the Daoist charm, exchanged a look, and saw the deep shock in each other's eyes.

Then, the two of them, along with Qin Yudie, obediently sat down as Xu Yan had instructed.

Lin Yansheng poured a cup of tea for Qin Tian, Jiang Taiyuan, and Qin Yudie, saying confidently and humbly, "The tea is a bit ordinary, please bear with it."

Since he couldn't cultivate, he had learned everything outside of cultivation and had reached the pinnacle in all of them. He had some confidence in the tea he brewed.

Qin Tian, Jiang Taiyuan, and Qin Yudie all felt flattered and quickly picked up their cups and took a sip.

The tea was ordinary, but the brewer's skill was too extraordinary, so even ordinary tea tasted extraordinary.

More importantly, this pot of tea also contained the rules of heaven and earth and the principles of the Great Dao.

After a shallow sip, Qin Yudie directly broke through her realm, advancing from the peak of the Spiritual Consciousness Realm to the early stage of the Spiritual Roaming Realm!

Her beautiful eyes widened in surprise as she looked at the tea in her hand, then she couldn't help but drink the entire cup, her pretty face flushing with satisfaction.

Xu Yan also drank a cup of tea. As he marveled at how delicious it tasted, he noticed the unusual flush on Qin Yudie's face.

No way, no way, can drinking tea lead to... that?

Qin Tian finished his tea and slowly put down his cup. He took out a token and handed it to Lin Yansheng, respectfully saying, "Senior Xu, my name is Qin Tian. I give you this token; you can hang it at the entrance to deter petty individuals."

This was the Supreme Elder's token of the Tianren Sect. Cultivators in the area near Tianren Mountain recognized it, and it could prevent some low-level cultivators from causing trouble.
