Li Shiming served the Second Grade Spirit Tea, not because he was stingy, but because serving Second Grade Spirit Tea suited his status better, while serving Third Grade Spirit Tea might seem like showing off.
The Chief Manager Lai naturally praised the Second Grade Spirit Tea, genuinely appreciating it. The Spirit Tea that Li Shiming roasted in his mechanical space room was, just like the Spirit Pills he concocted there, the epitome of quality.
"Mr. Li, I gather you've already negotiated with the Qianye Temple. I too was sent here to be a mediator, hoping you could take on the alchemy task without questioning its origin," the Chief Manager Lai said after tasting the Second Grade Spirit Tea, bringing up the primary purpose of his visit.
