"Taoist Friend Long, please have a seat and try this fine tea I just bought."
Ye Qing called Shen Long over to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.
Shen Long took a sip of the Spiritual Tea, finding it sweet and instantly felt revitalized.
"Excellent tea!"
Shen Long praised, then turned his gaze to Chan Master Xinkong and asked, "If I may, from which sect or temple does the master hail?"
"This humble monk comes from the Golden Buddha Sect in the Western Desert," Chan Master Xinkong replied with his hands pressed together.
Ye Qing brought out a beautifully crafted food box, presented the delicacies on the stone table, along with Spirit Fruit and Spirit Cake.
Ye Qing raised his teacup and said, "Today is a fortunate day to be gathered here with everyone. I toast to you all."
Shen Long and the other three raised their teacups, clinked them with Ye Qing's, and drank in place of wine, downing the tea in one gulp.
