As Chen Shuifeng's words fell, Xiong Sumei lifted the lid of the pot and drank all the Medicinal Tea in one go, leaving nothing behind. She even poured a bit of cold boiled water from the kettle, swirled it around, and finished off the remnants of the Medicinal Tea.
"Uh..."
Qian Wenwu and the others stared in shock at Xiong Sumei's actions, their mouths slightly agape, unable to speak.
"Is it really that good? Su Mei, you haven't grown tired of delicacies and are looking for a change of taste, have you?" Chen Shuifeng exclaimed with an astonished expression.
Xiong Sumei remained silent, wearing an expression of bliss. At that moment, she felt completely comfortable, indescribably wonderful, and was oblivious to the sounds around her.
"Is it really that delicious? Should we try some too?" Seeing Xiong Sumei like this piqued Qian Wenwu and the others' interest.
However, when they went to ask for more Medicinal Tea, it was already gone. There hadn't been much to begin with; if everyone hadn't taken such small portions, it would have been finished long ago. The remaining Medicinal Tea had been consumed by the few Lamas after Qian Wenwu and the others had initially declined.
Looking at the shocked and dazed expressions on the Lamas' faces made it clear what they were thinking. Jiang Chen smiled to himself, thinking, "Masters, your Medicinal Tea is likely to be very popular from now on."
Everyone attributed the miraculous qualities of the Medicinal Tea solely to its ingredients, overlooking the bit of Snow Water Jiang Chen had added earlier. However, the Lamas were not fools; they knew their own Medicinal Tea and its effects. So they quickly thought of Jiang Chen.
Initially wanting to ask him about it, but Jiang Chen shifted the "responsibility" to the sacred mountain. The Lamas looked at the mountain with suspicion, their brows furrowing.
This Medicinal Tea was brewed with Snow Water; why hadn’t it worked before? Did it really need a bit of fresh Snow Water added after brewing to be effective? Or had the sacred mountain truly manifested its powers just now?
Since Jiang Chen didn’t admit anything, the Lamas felt they couldn't say much more. They decided to treat this incident as a coincidence and resolved to experiment more in the future.
After about a minute, Xiong Sumei slowly came back to her senses.
"You guys are really missing out; this Medicinal Tea is so good that if sold outside for a million a cup, it would still be hard to come by."
"That's quite an exaggeration; you must be joking," Chen Shuifeng said skeptically.
"Believe it or not," Xiong Sumei replied without elaborating further.
Her words made Qian Wenwu and the others restless with regret for not having drunk any earlier.
"By the way, let’s have those Lamas brew some more tomorrow; we can come back for another taste," Chen Shuifeng suddenly suggested.
"Yes, exactly! It’s not something rare; we can come back tomorrow for more. I’ll go talk to those Lamas," Qian Wenwu said.
Qian Wenwu ran over to explain their intentions to the Lamas, who naturally wouldn’t refuse. The Medicinal Tea wasn’t rare; they brewed some every day.
"Alright, they agreed. Let’s head back for now; it's getting dark. We’ll come back tomorrow for that Medicinal Tea. I want to see just how miraculous it really is. Beauty Xiong, I hope you’re not deceiving us," Qian Wenwu laughed.
After drinking the Medicinal Tea, each Tibetan person felt refreshed. As night began to fall, they started making their way back since their overnight belongings were left in town; they couldn’t just leave them behind. Moreover, feeling energized made thirty miles seem like a small matter for them.
