C93 A Test Question
After Sword Ancestor took his seat, he said to Lu Changkong, "Although I am stubborn, I am not stupid. No one in this world would come to my Sword House for no reason. Even my friends are the same. Tell me your purpose for coming here! "
Lu Changkong knew that the more he beat around the bush about people like Sword Ancestor, the more they would hate him. He went straight to the point and said, "Junior recently bought a planet and is preparing to do some business of refining, so I want to ask Elder Jian to invest in it with Sword Sands. What do you think, senior? "
"Humph!" Sword Ancestor coldly snorted and said, "I do have Sword Sands here, but that kind of thing is not something that everyone can use. With your cultivation base, you might not be able to use them. "
Although Sword Ancestor's words were arrogant, it was an indisputable fact. There were countless artificers in this world, but there were only three people who could fuse Sword Sands into flying swords or magic treasures, including Bailian Sheng.
Lu Changkong smiled and said, "Since junior dares to come, I have a way to use Sword Sands. Otherwise, I wouldn't have invited Elder Jian to invest. Is there anyone in this world who can joke with their own head?"
"This is the truth. Even if you can use Sword Sands, I'm not willing to cooperate with you. After drinking tea, please return. I still have to entertain my friends. "
As soon as Sword Ancestor finished speaking, Fluttering Fluttering Fluttering was the first to speak discontentedly, "Old man, Haven't you had enough of your poor days? Do you still want to have a tooth sacrifice once every hundred and twenty years? Do you even want your two friends to laugh at you for being stingy and how long do you want them to laugh at you? Counting the days, Your friends are coming soon. You can't possibly want to take out two cups of tea to fool them, right?"
Sword Ancestor and his friends had agreed to meet once every sixty years. The gathering location was in their respective homes. Except for Sword Ancestor, who only had the specialty of the famous sword house, there was nothing decent that could be used to entertain his friends. He had been mercilessly mocked by his two friends for many years.
Now that he had exposed his shortcomings, Sword Ancestor laughed awkwardly. "This Lu Changkong has no power or fame in cultivation realm. How can I believe that he can get gold in cultivation realm?" I'm afraid that this brat doesn't have the ability to do business and will ruin the reputation of my Sword House. "
Fluttering his eyes, he said: "You can test him first! How about letting him entertain your two friends?"
"Yes! That's good too. " Sword Ancestor said, "My friends will be here in the afternoon. If you can satisfy them, we will talk again. "
Lu Changkong cupped his hands and said. "I will not disappoint you. "
Lu Changkong walked into the kitchen and asked in a low voice, "Who are his friends?"
Fluttering Fluttering Fluttering said in a low voice, "One of the four fierce gods, Carefree King, the number one beast expert, Tianfeng. There was also Hazy, the Gambling King of the World of Spirits and Souls. However, Hazy hasn't appeared for many years. "
Lu Changkong shook his head and smiled bitterly. He thought to himself," The four great vicious gods under the heavens, Sword Ancestor, Carefree King, Xue Qiansui and Corpse Sovereign, whom others can't avoid, have all been seen by me. I don't know if it's my luck or my misfortune. "
Before noon, the Sword House welcomed two guests. Tianfeng and Lu Changkong had met before. The other person with a long square face had a full beard, and his clothes were filled with nails. He held a green bamboo cane in his hand, and there was a large red gourd on his back. He was probably Carefree King.
Carefree King laughed loudly the moment he entered the room. "Tianfeng, look at me. I didn't say anything wrong. Elder Jian is still trying to fool us with that pot of tea. "
Sword Ancestor smiled awkwardly and asked the two of them to sit down. Tianfeng picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. "I say, Elder Jian, your tea is getting fainter and fainter. No matter what, I have to make some peanuts! "
Sword Ancestor blushed and said, "This time it's not just tea. "
The two seemed to like seeing him suffer and shouted at the same time, "Quick, take out that rotten fruit of yours and have some tea. Your mouth is bitter. "
Before the two of them finished speaking, the kitchen was filled with fragrance. Carefree King sniffed and shouted, "It smells weird! What kind of dish was that? It was a little weird. Since when did the painted iron rooster become so generous?"
Tianfeng also said," Looks like Elder Jian really wants to treat this time. Could it be that he robbed some rich family? "
Sword Ancestor's confidence in Lu Changkong immediately increased when he smelled the fragrance. He smiled and did not make a sound. The more he behaved like this, the more mysterious he felt. He kept asking questions. This had given Sword Ancestor a lot of face.
The fragrance in the kitchen became stronger and stronger. Carefree King scratched his ears and cheeks, sat down, stood up, and sat down. Sword Ancestor, who looked like he was itching, laughed out loud. For the first time in hundreds of years, he had gained the upper hand.
When Fluttering Billow finally came out with four dishes, Carefree King immediately stood up and took the dishes. He picked up a piece of the dish with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth before he could put it on the table. He couldn't stop eating. After a while, he ate more than half of the food. He shouted, "Elder Jian, you are so stingy. It was not easy to treat a guest to such a small amount of food. Where are you feeding the cat? "
After Sword Ancestor heard that, he couldn't help but secretly blame Lu Changkong for making too little food. It made him lose face, so he coughed awkwardly. "This. . . The amount of food is definitely not a problem. Wait a minute. I will tell him to cook more later. "
"I'll tell him to make some later! It turns out that you're the one deducting the amount of food. " Tianfeng imitated Sword Ancestor's words and was about to mock him when Fluttering Fluttering walked out and said, "These few dishes are just the appetizer. The main dish hasn't been served yet. Seniors, please enjoy your meal. "
"There's also the main dish?" Carefree King was overjoyed and said, "Girl, tell me, what main course do you have?"
Fluttering her head, she said, "The person who cooks only said that there are 81 dishes. As for what he cooked, he didn't say. "
"81 dishes, good. . . Good. . . " Carefree King picked up the wine gourd and took a sip of wine. "He needs to cook slowly, not fast, the dishes must be cooked well. "
Once Fluttering Fluttering Fluttering left, he untied two buttons on his pants and gave Tianfeng and Sword Ancestor a cup of wine each. He used his chopsticks to point at Sword Ancestor and said: "Elder Jian, wait for me to eat all the wine that you owe me for the past few hundred years!"
Before he could finish speaking, Tianfeng put the wine cup back into his hand. Carefree King also threw away the wine gourd that loved his life. His eyes stared straight at the wine pot in Fluttering Fluttering's hand. "What kind of wine is this? Why does it smell so good?"
"It's also brewed by someone who cooks. He said to ask Divine Immortal to stop. "
Tianfeng was the best wine. After drinking three cups in a row, he shouted, "Good wine! I don't think we should ask the Divine Immortal to stop. We should call the Divine Immortal to stop. Even if the Divine Immortal encountered it, he would still fight to drink it. "
After saying a few words, no one spoke anymore. They just ate and drank. After eating for six hours, Tianfeng and Carefree King finally leaned back in their chairs in satisfaction.
Freedom King said, "Elder Jian, invite your big chef out and let us meet. I've been begging for food for more than five hundred years and I haven't had enough to eat for more than five hundred years. I must meet that god chef. "
"Flutter, go and find Lu Changkong. " Sword Ancestor smiled and said, "I will make it clear that he is not my chef. He is just a person who came to discuss business with me. "
"Talk business?" Tianfeng asked with interest. "What business?"
"He wants my Sword Sand. "
Tianfeng asked curiously, "He knows how to forge artifacts? He can use Sword Sands?"
Sword Ancestor said with uncertainty, "Probably! He won't, and his sworn brother Bailian Sheng will definitely use Bailian Shengs as well. "
While they were talking, Lu Changkong had already walked over. After greeting the two of them one by one, he stood to the side.
"Come, little brother, sit down and talk. " Carefree King smiled and said, "Although we are infamous in the outside world, we are very casual in our home. Don't hold us captive. "
"Thank you, seniors!" Lu Changkong naturally took the last seat.
Tianfeng nodded. "You are neither servile nor overbearing, you have the demeanor of a great general. You are more mature than when I met you in Sword Servant Manor. "
Freedom King said, "Little brother, with your culinary skills, what's the point of refining weapons? Open a restaurant and I guarantee that you will have a lot of money. "
"Opening a restaurant was originally part of my plan. " Lu Changkong acted as if he was saying, "It's just that I still have one more seasoning that I haven't gathered, so I put the plan aside for the time being. "
"What ingredient? Tell me about it. " Carefree King would always be interested in food.
" Five Flavorings Powder. Only by adding Five Flavorings Powder will my dishes become the most perfect. "
"What do I think it is?" Carefree King smiled and said, "Beggar has nothing else but Five Flavorings Powder. "
Lu Changkong was half true and half false. He was pleasantly surprised and said, "Senior, are you willing to use the Five Flavorings Powder to invest in junior's restaurant?"
Freedom King said, "Other than the dividends, I also want to freeload!"
"It's a deal. "
Lu Changkong turned to Tianfeng and said, "Junior wants to buy spirit beasts for a long period of time. I wonder if senior is willing to cooperate with junior to do some small business. Of course, I can also share the profits with senior in the form of a shareholder. "
"Of course, of course. " Tianfeng smiled and said, "I wonder how the dividends are divided?"
Lu Changkong said, "Forty six. "
"It's very reasonable. "
Lu Changkong offered a higher price than Carefree King had imagined. They used raw materials to invest in the company and waited for the dividends. This price was already very high. They did not expect Lu Changkong to say something even more unexpected. "Junior is right. Six of you, and four of me. "
The three of them looked at each other. Sword Ancestor said. "Why is that?"
"Junior, just say it! I have no sect or sect. If I want to gain a foothold in the Black Tortoise Galaxy, I naturally need the support of the three of you. For me, your support is more important than your investment. Seniors, please think about it. I'll take my leave now. "
After Lu Changkong left, Freedom King said," He is a figure. Even if he wants us to take the biggest share, he still wants to drag us into his business. I dare say that his business is definitely not limited to artifact forging and restaurants, especially what he needs spirit beasts for. "
Tianfeng said, "Do you want to cooperate with him?"
"Of course!" Sword Ancestor said,, "But before cooperating, I still want to test his ability. "
Sword Ancestor let Fluttering Fluttering Fluttering call Lu Changkong back and said directly, "Kid, the three of us are very interested in your proposal. However, we also have some doubts about your ability. If you can pass our test, not only will we invest in your business, we will also reduce our dividends by 40%. "
Lu Changkong said calmly, "Senior, please tell us the test questions. "
"You must go to the Pingshan King Tomb alone and retrieve a glass cup from the tomb. " Carefree King smiled and said, "Go to the mausoleum to steal treasures. He was bold and careful. Witness, courage, and determination. It was also indispensable. Perhaps you will think that we are making things difficult for you, but what I have to say is. . . We provide Sword Sands, Five Flavorings Powder, and high level spirit beasts to you alone, which is also a very valuable investment. Therefore, you must prove your strength to me. "
Lu Changkong nodded and said: "Senior's concerns are within reason. Junior can totally understand. "
Sword Ancestor said, "Before you go to the mausoleum, I have something to give you. I don't want you to say that I'm forcing you. "
"Does Elder Jian have the intention of passing on his skills? Interesting, interesting. A person who could make this stubborn old man fall in love with talent. You, Lu Changkong, are the first. Xiao Yao, let's go out and have another drink. Billow, shake your head and pour some wine for us. " Tianfeng laughed and called Carefree King and Billow to leave the Sword House and continue drinking with the moon.
Sword Ancestor's face turned serious and said," Lu Changkong, let me ask you, which sect did you come from? "
"It is not convenient for junior's sect to reveal it. "
Sword Ancestor stared at Lu Changkong's face and asked word by word, "Who is Three Madness and One Egg to you?"
Lu Changkong was shocked. After a while, he held his head high and said, "It's junior's master. "
"Okay!" Sword Ancestor praised him and said, "Even though the Holy Church is destroyed, you still dare to admit that you are his disciple. This means that you have not forgotten your roots. However, you can't mention your relationship with Three Madness and One Egg to anyone else in the future. Also, don't use the Corpse Controlling Technique so easily. Even if you use it, don't leave anything alive. You know, when I was in the Sword Servant Manor, I concealed the two Spiritual Corpse weapons you released. How much energy did it take?"
Lu Changkong asked in surprise, "Senior knows my master?"
"I only have three friends and one confidant in my life. That confidant is a madman and an egg. " Sword Ancestor said, "From the moment I saw the Flying Snow Seal on your shoulder, I knew you were his disciple. That's why I tried to test you again and again. You are very good. You didn't embarrass your master! How is your master? "
" Master. . . He passed away. . . "Lu Changkong's sadness was expressed in his words.
"What did you say?" Sword Ancestor suddenly stood up and explained.
Lu Changkong told him how he met Three Madness and One Egg until he paid a visit to the Sword House.
"He died under the Heavenly Tribulation. He will die under the Heavenly Tribulation. He might not be dead. Sword Ancestor coughed a few times and changed the topic. "You took three of my sword strikes that day. I deliberately helped you achieve your name. " It was also me who harmed you. People's fame and trouble are often proportional. In the future, there will definitely be more people who will find trouble with you. You have to be careful in dealing with them. You're far worse than your master, so you should properly train yourself "
Lu Changkong did not listen to what Sword Ancestor said in the midst of surprise and joy. He said excitedly," The ancestors said that master is not dead? "
"Yes! I only said that it's possible. About your Master. . . Don't mention it again, and you are not allowed to ask about it. Listen to me now. " Sword Ancestor didn't allow Lu Changkong to speak. He continued, "That year, the madman also said that he wanted me to pass on a sword technique to his disciple. I thought that it was just a joke. I didn't think that he would really take in a disciple"
Sword Ancestor paused and said, "Your palms must have come from him! That madman schemed against me everywhere. He must have heard me say, 'Unless a second person who can use a sword as a palm appears. ' Otherwise, no one will be able to learn my Samsara Sword Finger. That's why he ran back to exchange a pair of hands for you, right? "
Lu Changkong nodded his head and answered vaguely," That's more or less the case. "
" Hahaha. . . "Sword Ancestor said rather proudly," In the future, when you encounter enemies, use my Reincarnation Sword Finger. Don't easily use corpse control. If someone finds out that you know the corpse control technique. . . Just say that you are Jun Moxiao's disciple. Jun Moxiao has some skills in refining corpses and controlling corpses. Although his reputation wasn't as good as your master's, he didn't have as many enemies as your master. Most importantly, he isn't a member of the evil sect. "
Lu Changkong nodded in agreement. Sword Ancestor patted his shoulder and said, "You have three inner cores, don't you? Do you want to add another wood attribute poison pill? "
"What does senior mean by poison pill?" Lu Changkong was at a loss. "You are the disciple of the madman. How can I face him if I don't leave some traces of the madman in my sword finger? As long as you nod your head, I promise you that you will get a brand new sword finger. "
Sword Ancestor saw him nod and laughed. "Old Xiao Yao, take out your devil heart and fulfill this child's wish!"
