Listening Waves Courtyard!
"Brother Xuan, Brother Cang, please, have a seat!"
After Shen Qinglan left, Chen An invited the two men to sit in the pavilion in the courtyard.
"My apologies, this humble lodging is rather plain. I hope Brothers Xuan and Cang will forgive the poor hospitality!" Chen An said with a hint of embarrassment as he sat down.
Chen An truly felt a little awkward. Guests had come calling, yet as the host, he had not even prepared a cup of tea.
Of course, it was not entirely his fault!
Until recently, he had merely been a new student who had just entered the prefectural academy. Being able to live in Listening Waves Courtyard at all was only because he had become Beigong Mo's disciple.
Moreover, all his thoughts had previously been on making money and cultivating. He had never paid much attention to material comforts.
"Haha, Brother Chen is far too polite!"
Xuan Zhantian truly deserved to be someone who had once ruled as an emperor. He laughed heartily, waved a hand, and said, "At our level, we have long ceased to cling to such worldly things!"
"Oh, right. I happened to acquire a few Essence Marrow Jade Ganoderma Fruits recently. Since Brother Chen has just broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm, I'll borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and present them as a congratulatory gift for your breakthrough!"
As soon as he finished speaking, spiritual light flashed in Xuan Zhantian's palm. A jade dish appeared in his hand, holding several spirit fruits that were lustrous all over and suffused with a faint jade-green glow. Each was about the size of a fist, its surface naturally patterned like ganoderma grass.
The moment these Essence Marrow Jade Ganoderma Fruits appeared, a refreshing fragrance spread through the air.
