I Just Wanted to Teach Cultivation, But Goddesses Keep Coming!-Chapter 197 Testing the Temperature with a Finger
At that moment, Li Zhiyan quietly ushered Ning Xi and Ye Jian into the courtyard. The morning had not even reached noon yet, and already another pair of women had come knocking at his door.
Lin Feng could not help but feel a faint headache forming.
"Oh? I didn’t know that the young miss and pill prodigy of the Li clan is now serving as your maidservant, Young Master Lin Feng," Ye Jian said with a playful smile.
Her beautiful eyes locked onto Lin Feng as she spoke, filled with undisguised interest.
"Can I be your maidservant as well? I promise I’ll do anything you tell me to." Her tone sounded teasing, but the seriousness in her gaze made it clear that she was not joking.
Ye Jian’s current strength had already reached the tenth stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. Just a short time ago she had only been at the sixth stage, yet after recent breakthroughs her cultivation had risen rapidly.
What was even more impressive was that her techniques had already reached peak perfection mastery.
This meant she possessed the ability to leapfrog battles and challenge opponents far stronger than herself. And this was only possible because of Lin Feng’s tea.
Ye Jian’s attention at the moment was entirely focused on Lin Feng, as if he were the most interesting person in the entire academy.
"You’re still as shameless as ever, Teacher Ye Jian," Ning Xi said calmly.
She stepped forward as she spoke, her tone carrying a faint trace of amusement.
Compared to Ye Jian’s bold and direct attitude, Ning Xi appeared far more composed, though the look in her eyes suggested she was no less interested in the situation unfolding before her.
Like Ye Jian, Ning Xi had also recently stepped into the Qi Condensation Realm.
With this breakthrough, she had officially become the fourth Qi Condensation Realm teacher currently serving in Spirit Spring Academy.
At the moment, only her family knew of her successful breakthrough.
"Shameless or not, both of us owe so much to Young Master Lin Feng’s love and care. I also heard that Young Master Lin Feng has already become a distinguished teacher. Congratulations, Mentor Lin Feng. You deserve this position more than anyone else," Teacher Ye Jian said with a bright, approving smile.
Her tone sounded sincere and congratulatory, but her eyes quietly drifted toward the small teapot sitting on the table.
"Don’t you think this great milestone in your career deserves to be celebrated?" she continued in a gentle voice. "Perhaps with some food and some... tea?"
She placed a very deliberate emphasis on the final word.
The meaning behind it was obvious to the three of them, except for Li Zhiyan, who frowned in confusion in the corner. She still did not know about the immortal tea in Lin Feng’s possession.
Lin Feng’s tea was no ordinary drink.
Teacher Ye Jian herself had experienced its effects before.
She was now already half a step into the Foundation Establishment Realm. But in her mind, she had already made a quiet calculation.
If she could drink just one more cup of Lin Feng’s miraculous tea, then breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm would almost certainly become possible.
Ning Xi, who was standing beside her, was thinking almost the exact same thing. The two women had not come all the way here just to congratulate Lin Feng.
They came for the tea.
Lin Feng looked at them for a moment before a faint smile appeared on his face.
"So the two of you came here for my tea?" he said calmly. "You should have said that earlier."
He casually waved his hand.
"Come, Zhiyan. Pour a cup of tea for our guests."
"Yes, Young Master."
Li Zhiyan stepped forward immediately. Her movements were graceful and practiced as she picked up the teapot and began pouring tea into two delicate cups.
The gentle sound of liquid filling porcelain echoed softly in the quiet room.
Ning Xi and Ye Jian quickly moved to sit at the table across from Lin Feng. Their eyes never left the teacups as Li Zhiyan placed them carefully in front of them.
A faint aroma rose from the cups.
"This is it..."
"Lin Feng’s tea..."
The two women stared at the cups as if they were sacred treasures. Holding the teacup in their hands now, both women felt a strange sense of reverence.
Ning Xi even held her breath for a moment.
After exchanging a glance with each other, they nodded slightly.
Then, almost at the same time, they raised the cups to their lips and took a careful sip.
The warm tea flowed down their throats.
They immediately closed their eyes.
Both of them waited.
They waited for the familiar miracle.
For the surge of spiritual energy.
For the feeling of their meridians opening and their cultivation rising.
But seconds passed.
Then more seconds.
And still nothing happened.
The tea simply tasted like... tea.
"What?" Ning Xi’s brows furrowed slightly.
Ye Jian’s calm expression also began to crack.
They opened their eyes slowly.
Silence filled the room.
The two women looked down at the cups in their hands as if questioning whether they had imagined everything. They took another sip just to be sure.
Still nothing.
No warmth spreading through their meridians.
No surge of power.
No mystical transformation.
It was completely ordinary.
"What?!" both women suddenly blurted out at the same time.
Their heads snapped up and they stared directly at Lin Feng.
Confusion filled their eyes, along with a trace of disappointment they could not completely hide.
This was not the legendary tea they were expecting at all.
Ning Xi lowered her cup slowly and spoke first.
"Mentor Lin Feng... this tea..."
Ye Jian also narrowed her eyes slightly.
For the first time since arriving, her expression became serious as she carefully examined the teapot, the cups, and even Li Zhiyan.
Then her gaze returned to Lin Feng.
There was only one thought running through both of their minds.
Something was clearly wrong. The tea they were drinking now was not the same as the one they had tasted days ago.
