remained unharmed, but the emaciated old man behind it let out a cry of pain and flew out from behind the vase, hitting the wall with a thud.Lu Xiaitian swung his sword again. A white bone orchid sud..."I am Cao Kun from the Zhenwei Hou Mansion. I wonder how you call yourself, esteemed friend You seem quite unfamiliar to me." 。Cao Kun bowed and smiled. 。Lu Xia Tian, Cao Daoist is indeed a man who knows how to appreciate wine. I just took this bamboo wine out, and Cao Daoist couldn't contain himself. 。Lu XiaTian made a gesture of invitation. 。“Haha, if it's about knowing wine, Cao is not qualified, but when it comes to Qingzhu Brewing, I consider myself quite knowledgeable. Besides cultivation, most of Cao's thoughts are devoted to this matter.” 。"Seeing that Lu Xia Tian didn't refuse his request to sit, Cao Kun went on to praise him as a connoisseur of wine. He was instantly elated and, judging by Lu Xia Tian's demeanor, he should not refuse to share this fine wine with him. Fortunately, he had arrived first, otherwise, if someone else had taken the lead, wouldn't he have missed out on this wonderful wine"Oh Since that's the case, Daoist Cao might as well tell me about the wonders of this Qingzhu Brew. If you can speak to its heart, sharing this wine with Daoist Cao wouldn't be a problem either." 。Lu Xiaodao 。“Alright, then it's settled.” 。Cao Kun's eyes lit up, his palms crossed, giving the impression of being ready to strike, and he sniffed slightly. 。The taste is sweet and mellow, but it lacks the richness of aged bamboo wine. It should be freshly brewed. 。It's a shame that some time has passed and it hasn't been displayed. 。“This wine is so refreshingly fragrant, with no hint of age or bitterness. It must be made from the tender hearts of bamboo shoots from Tianhe Bamboo, and there isn't a single old leaf mixed in. To put so much effort into brewing this pot of wine, fellow cultivator, you are indeed an extraordinary person.” 。"Is Cao Ce speaking the truth" Cao Kun replied with a sneer, " 。"Good, you're getting to the point. Here's a cup for you >>> 。Lu Xiaitian readily poured a cup of wine for Cao Kun. The cup in his hand was not an ordinary porcelain cup or jade artifact, but a small cup made from a section of bamboo. 。“At least eight hundred years of Tianhe bamboo made into a wine cup, Daoist friend, this hand is truly generous indeed.” 。When Cao Kun saw the wine cup Lu Xia Tian took out, he was immediately shocked. 。His hand holding the glass trembled slightly. 。

Tianhe bamboo was extremely rare. Even in the Heitian Mountains, it was occasionally encountered. However, the Heitian Mountains were rampant with demonic beasts, and it was rare to find a Tianhe bamboo of this age. Occasionally, when one appeared, it would be taken by other cultivators. Even as the steward of Zhenwei Houfu, this was his first time seeing such a thing.

Tianyhe bamboo is an excellent material for refining tools, but using it to make wine cups is a bit too extravagant. This isn't the kind of thing a Qi Refining cultivator should do. 。When Cao Kun raised his cup, his mind had already gone through several twists and turns. 。"Occasionally getting a small piece, it is too little to be used for refining weapons, but it is not suitable for other uses. It happens that I have brewed some wine, so using it to make a wine vessel would be good." 。Lu Xia Tian gave a sly smile. He wouldn't tell the truth, of course. These drinking vessels were naturally made from a small piece of Heavenly He bamboo that he had cut inside his protective barrier. 。"So that's how it is, Daoist Lu truly has a kind heart. Using this to brew bamboo wine is indeed most fitting. If ordinary vessels were used, there would be a lack of flavor." 。In that case, Cao should not be so polite. 。"Cao Kun took a small sip, his face showing signs of intoxication at the same time, but also a hint of surprise. “This, this is!”

“What Daoist Cao can only see this much” Lu Xia Tian looked at Cao Kun with a relaxed and composed expression, holding the wine jug in his hand. He wore a look of examination on his face.

Even the finest qingzhu brew made from Tianhe bamboo should not compare to this celestial nectar. Though Lu Dao's wine is freshly brewed, its depth of flavor rivals that of aged vintages nearly a century old. 。Cao Kun showed a puzzled expression. 。“This is the special part of brewing this wine. Cao Dao-you also saw it. My qingzhu brew is a new wine. If it's aged for a few more years, the flavor will be even more unique.” 。When I crafted this liquor, I purposely added certain other ingredients. Both the sourcing and brewing method are unconventional, unlike any ordinary qīngzhú (bamboo) liquor. 。Lu Xia Tian stopped short, without revealing the secret. 。"It seems that Daoist Lu has a profound understanding of the art of brewing. Although Cao Mou considers himself well-versed in Qingzhu Brew, meeting Daoist Lu today allows me to realize that there are people outside of one's knowledge and heaven above." 。It seems that Cao will not be able to finish this second cup. 。Cao Kun said with a look of pity: 。"Actually, drinking this wine is not difficult at all. Not to mention a second cup, even just this entire pot of wine, or perhaps the secret recipe for brewing qing zhu wine could be given to Daoist Cao, it wouldn't be impossible either." 。Lu Xia Tian placed the wine pot on the table and said: 。“Oh I would like to hear more.” 。Cao Kun's face showed a hint of interest. 。"I have heard that the Fire Element Qi in Marquis Zhenwei's Mansion is exceptionally strong, which is very beneficial for the cultivation of fire-element cultivators. I have long admired it and also want to find a position in Marquis Zhenwei's Mansion. As long as I can cultivate there, I will do my best. For any tasks within my duties, I will certainly not be negligent." 。As Cao Dao's friend, he is deeply trusted by Lord Zhenwei. Arranging for someone to enter the manor should be a very simple matter. 。"Lu Xia Tian stated simply," 。"You want to enter the residence of Marquis Zhenwei, is that all your ambition" Cao Kun's eyes suddenly turned sharp, watching Lu Xiaodao warily. 。“What else could the intention be The masters of the Zhenwei Hou Mansion are all gathered there. Even if I, a late-stage Jindan cultivator, went alone, I would have no chance of coming out alive.” 。Moreover, being lowered to mediocrity. 。"Lu Xia Tian said frankly, 'If there were any intentions, it would be to seek other opportunities to enter the Hou Mansion. Is it necessary to be so open and honest with Cao Guanjia'

'That’s true, but over the past few years, the Hou Mansion has been attracting a lot of attention, making many enemies. Cao must be cautious.'" 。"Cao Kun heard Lu Xiaoteng's words and had some reason in them. If Lu Xiaoteng really had any intentions, finding his relationship to enter the Hou Mansion wouldn't he be delivering himself into a trap He only needed to arrange someone else to secretly keep an eye on Lu Xiaoteng." 。But when it came to the Zhenwei Marquis Mansion, Cao Kun would always be unusually cautious and wouldn't speak easily. 。There is nothing I cannot say aloud. My only aim is to enter the Hou Mansion and cultivate there, using the Hou Mansion's unique fire-type spiritual energy to cultivate a unique secret technique. 。As for the rest of Hou's estate, I have no interest. Daoist Cao doesn't need to place me in an important position within the manor. Even as a simple servant or tending to important spirit creatures in the backyard, I wouldn't object. 。As long as mundane affairs are not too numerous and do not affect my cultivation, I am fine with that. As for the important areas of Houfu, I can avoid them entirely. How about it 。At first, he also thought about using the identity of a servant to infiltrate the Hou Mansion of Zhenwei. However, after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate. After all, the Hou Mansion of Zhenwei had many experts, and most servants had their own tasks. As a newcomer, if he didn't work at his own post, he would probably expose his disguise sooner or later. 。And he may not have many opportunities to get close to the abandoned well in Hou's Mansion. 。ook at this first." Seeing that the situation was becoming dire, with celestial-rank demons constantly attacking despite being held back by the immortal army's formations,沐夏 gritted her teeth and thre...
