The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 198 Bow Again

Wanbao Pavilion in Fuguang Town, Lu Qingshan's cave. When the smoke and dust cleared, Lu Qingshan stood up in a somewhat embarrassed manner, with blood flowing from his nose and teeth. He spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and unexpectedly, his two front teeth also flew out. Seeing his old friend in such an embarrassed state, Chu Xuanji also covered his face with one hand, thinking, "It's like this again." Lu Qingshan stared at Pan Chengfeng in a daze, as if he had just reacted, and laughed, "Okay, okay! I haven't been injured for years! Come again!" Lu Qingshan sacrificed his wine gourd magic weapon, looking like he was going to fight to the death. Chu Xuanji thought to himself, "Oh no, how could I forget this guy's temper." He clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, Brother Lu, quickly put away the magic weapon, and my brother too, quickly put away his magical powers."

Chu Xuanji hurriedly sent a message to Pan Chengfeng: "Hurry up and apologize. This is someone else's place after all. You beat them up like this, it's too much!" Seeing Lu Qingshan's embarrassed look, Pan Chengfeng thought to himself: "So weak? One punch knocked out his teeth?" Now that he had let out his anger, thinking that he would have to stay at his place for the next few days, Pan Chengfeng hurriedly bowed and said: "Fellow Taoist, you are very capable. I appreciate your teachings." Pan Chengfeng didn't care about Lu Qingshan who was stunned in the same place, and directly found a seat to sit down with his back to Lu Qingshan. Lu Qingshan was confused. He stopped beating him and even turned his back to him. What kind of person would he be if he attacked again?

Chu Xuanji hurriedly called Lu Qingshan and said, "Brother Lu, come here. I will introduce these people to you." Lu Qingshan put away his magic weapon in a depressed mood, came to sit opposite Pan Chengfeng, and stared at Pan Chengfeng's face. Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Why is Pavilion Master Lu looking at me like this? Is my face so handsome?" Chu Xuanji hurriedly introduced them, "Three, this is the Pavilion Master of Wanbao Pavilion in Fuguang Town, Lu Qingshan." Then he said to Lu Qingshan, "Brother Lu, these three are my friends. Pan Chengfeng, who is also my sworn brother, is young and promising. He is only 17 years old this year." Lu Qingshan was shocked, "He has the combat power of a spirit at the age of 17? No wonder Chu Xuanji tried so hard to win him over." Chu Xuanji continued to introduce, "This is Zhong Wuyan, the ancestor of the Zhong family in Fancheng, and this is Li Qianer, the head of the Zhong family, who is also my brother's Taoist partner."

Lu Qingshan bowed and asked: "Fellow Daoist Pan, are you a body cultivator? That punch had a force of at least 30 jin. I wonder how you cultivated it?" Pan Chengfeng smiled and said: "I am just practicing casually. The main thing is to cultivate immortality. After all, only by cultivating immortality can you live forever~" It is impolite to ask about how others practice, but seeing the blood at the corner of Lu Qingshan's mouth, Pan Chengfeng still dealt with it casually. Lu Qingshan looked at Aunt Zhong and Qian'er and said: "The two fairies are the new gods of the Zhong family. This matter has long been spread to Yancheng. After all, two new gods have appeared in the same family at the same time. This has not happened in the Great Zhou for many years. Congratulations." Lu Qingshan picked up the empty wine glass and looked at Chu Xuanji. It was self-evident.

Chu Xuanji took out the wine jar, poured five glasses of wine, and quickly put the jar away, saying: "It's time to congratulate you all, let's drink this cup of peach wine." Lu Qingshan licked his lips and said: "Brother Chu, are you too stingy? Since your brother is here, what's wrong with drinking a few glasses of wine from you? Hurry up and take it out!"

Pan Chengfeng said cheerfully, "Yes, Brother Chu, don't be so stingy, hurry up and take it out." Aunt Zhong hurriedly said, "Pavilion Master Chu likes this wine, I have it here." Then she took out two jars of peach blossom wine and pushed them in front of Chu Xuanji. Lu Qingshan was quick to put away a jar and said, "Fairy Zhong also has this wine?" Pan Chengfeng cursed inwardly, "Prodigal woman!" Chu Xuanji smiled and said, "This wine was originally brewed by the Zhong family~"

Lu Qingshan stood up in a flash, staring with his eyes as big as Tongling, and said excitedly: "Is this wine brewed by your Zhong family?" Aunt Zhong was shocked and thought to herself: "Why are this guy's eyes so big?" Chu Xuanji quickly got up, suppressed the excited Lu Qingshan and said: "It was brewed by the Zhong family, Brother Lu, there is no need to be so excited." Lu Qingshan didn't care about Chu Xuanji at all, and said hurriedly: "How much is there, I will buy as much as you have, the price is negotiable!" Pan Chengfeng was afraid that Aunt Zhong would say it was given away for free. As soon as Aunt Zhong saw Chu Xuanji, her mind was not clear, and her eyes never left Chu Xuanji from beginning to end.

Pan Chengfeng quickly interrupted and said, "This peach blossom wine is not going to be sold in retail, but will be put up for auction." Pan Chengfeng thought for a moment and said, "The Zhong family plans to start the bidding at the price of one top-grade crystal bead per jar. We have brought a hundred jars this time. I wonder if Pavilion Master Lu is willing to take this deal?"

Lu Qingshan hurriedly said, "What else are you bidding for? I'll buy a jar of 10 top-grade crystal beads!" Pan Chengfeng shook his head and said, "No, the Zhong family plans to sell some wine in Yancheng in a while. In addition to peach wine, there is also ten-year-old daughter's red wine. The retail price of daughter's red wine is one medium-grade crystal bead per jar."

Lu Qingshan rolled his eyes and asked, "Are you planning to use the auction to promote the reputation of your Zhong family's Peach Blossom Wine and Daughter's Red Wine? But you don't have a store here~" Pan Chengfeng nodded and said, "I wonder if Pavilion Master Lu is willing to help with this?" Lu Qingshan touched his stubble and hesitated, "Well..." Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Five jars of Peach Blossom Wine and twenty jars of Daughter's Red Wine. This is a gift for Pavilion Master Lu." Lu Qingshan laughed and said, "Haha, it's a small matter, a small matter. I just have a small request~" Pan Chengfeng said generously, "Pavilion Master Lu, just tell me."

Lu Qingshan thought for a moment and said, "You must sell me one thousand jars of peach wine and five thousand jars of daughter's wine every year!" Chu Xuanji was shocked and said, "Are you taking a shower? Can you drink them all?! How can you spend so many resources to buy wine every year?" Lu Qingshan said, "I drink more than ten or twenty jars a day, and sometimes I invite friends to drink. How many thousands of jars a year are there?" Chu Xuanji covered her face and said, "If you drink less, you would have reached the state of refining emptiness long ago." Lu Qingshan laughed and said, "Without wine, there is no point in living so long!" Pan Chengfeng also looked at Lu Qingshan in surprise, thinking to himself, "This guy turned out to be a drunkard. No wonder his magic weapon is a gourd."

Lu Qingshan suddenly remembered that he hadn't tried the Nv'erhong yet, so he asked quickly, "By the way, I haven't tried Nv'erhong yet, take it out for me to try." Pan Chengfeng said with a smile, "Qian'er, take a few jars of Nv'erhong for Pavilion Master Lu to try." Qian'er smiled and took out a few jars of Nv'erhong and said, "This batch of Nv'erhong is better than what Brother Chu drank last time, Brother Chu should try it too." Qian'er stood up and prepared to pour wine for the others. Lu Qingshan had already done it himself. He picked up a jar of Nv'erhong, opened the lid, smelled it, and laughed, "Great! Absolutely good wine!" He started blowing the jar directly! With the gurgling sound, people who didn't know would think he was really drinking nectar.

A few people just drank a small cup, and Lu Qingshan finished a jar in one go. He wiped his mouth and said, "Although it is not as good as the peach blossom wine, it is much better than the spiritual wines I usually drink. It's refreshing! It's really refreshing!" Then he picked up another jar and blew it into his mouth. Chu Xuanji shook his head and said, "Brother Lu is actually as talented as me, but he likes to drink, which has delayed his practice. He has been scolded by the Grand Master for this several times, but he still can't change." Lu Qingshan blew another jar and said, "Old thing, nagging all day long, it's annoying, I..." Chu Xuanji said angrily, "That's your father! How can you say that about him!" Lu Qingshan waved his hand and said, "Don't mention that guy who kills the fun. Your brother is here, we should happily drink a few jars!"

The three of them were surprised. Pan Chengfeng thought to himself, "Lu Qingshan has such a powerful background? Yet he is so low-key. If it were me, I would have been so proud! Well, I just beat him up. He won't bear a grudge against me, right?" Pan Chengfeng hurriedly took out five jars of peach blossom wine and said, "Brother Lu, how can I let you drink inferior wine like Nv'erhong here? If you want to drink, let's drink the best!" Chu Xuanji smiled secretly. He deliberately mentioned Lu Qingshan's background so that Pan Chengfeng could make friends with Lu Qingshan. Sure enough, this younger brother understood immediately. Lu Qingshan was confused. He was Pavilion Master Lu just now, but now he has become a big brother? But since there is good wine, he naturally would not refuse. He picked up the jar and poured peach blossom wine into the cup. Pan Chengfeng asked in confusion, "Why did Brother Lu change the cup again? Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to drink directly?"

Lu Qingshan said with a smile: "Nü'erhong is suitable for heavy drinking, while Taohuaniang is more suitable for slow tasting~" Pan Chengfeng said with a smile: "Brother Lu is indeed a Dongjiu man, I admire you. From now on, I will take care of all your wine. As long as the Zhong family's wine can be auctioned at the Yancheng auction every year, and there will be Xinghuachun later, I will provide you with good wine every day!" Lu Qingshan was surprised and said: "You give me wine for free?" Pan Chengfeng said with a smile: "That's right, it's rare to meet someone from Dongjiu, I can still afford this little bit of crystal beads."

Lu Qingshan looked at Chu Xuanji and thought to himself, "This kid is trying to curry favor with me now. Is Chu Xuanji doing this on purpose? After hearing that the old man is my father, this kid's attitude has completely changed." But having good wine to drink is the most important thing. Lu Qingshan asked, "Will there be new wine later? Xinghuachun? How does it compare to Taohuaniang?" Pan Chengfeng smiled mysteriously, "You will know by then, Brother Lu. I will never let you down."

The alcohol content of daughter's wine is only about 27 or 28 degrees, but compared with the wine at that time, it is already very good. Peach Blossom Wine is 42 degrees. How can a person who loves alcohol resist such a high alcohol content? Pan Chengfeng is now testing wine with more than 50 degrees, and I believe it will be available soon. It will definitely be a hit by then! However, the strength of the Zhong family must also be gradually improved, otherwise, without the corresponding strength, it will not be able to keep this business. Now winning over Lu Qingshan is the first step, and then Chu Xuanji must also join the group, so that they can gain a foothold in Yancheng. Pan Chengfeng's goal is to do business in Licheng, where there are the most monks in the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou is just in its infancy.

Aunt Zhong pestered Chu Xuanji with questions about cultivation and daily life. Pan Chengfeng and Lu Qingshan were toasting each other, and Qian'er was in charge of pouring the wine. The atmosphere was very harmonious, and the previous unpleasantness had disappeared. Lu Qingshan was really a good drinker. Pan Chengfeng had taken out thirty jars of peach wine from his storage ring, and Lu Qingshan drank most of it. Pan Chengfeng drank two jars himself, and the rest went into Lu Qingshan's stomach.

Lu Qingshan burped, put one hand on Pan Chengfeng's shoulder, and said drunkenly: "Brother is really a wonderful person, I like you! Since you and Chu Xuanji have sworn brotherhood, you can't leave out your brother! Chu Xuanji, come here! Let's swear brotherhood again!"

Chu Xuan Ji felt like a thousand horses were galloping in her heart, and she cursed inwardly: "Still bowing?!" Chu Xuan Ji did not move while sitting there. Lu Qingshan had already stood up. He pulled Chu Xuan Ji up and said: "Why do you look down on me, Lu?" Chu Xuan Ji hurriedly said: "No, no, it's just that shouldn't we discuss this with the Grand Master? If we bow, we will become the Grand Master's adopted sons. Isn't that inappropriate?" Lu Qingshan cursed: "What does that old thing have to do with us? We will just bow! If you refuse again, don't come to me again!" Chu Xuan Ji was helpless, but Pan Chengfeng was already very happy.

The three of them knelt down and swore to share the good and the bad. After three kowtows, Lu Qingshan said generously: "I am 300 years older than Chu Xuanji, so I am the eldest brother. Chu Xuanji is the second oldest. What do you think, third brother?" Pan Chengfeng was already very happy, and said with a smile: "I will listen to you, eldest brother. Second brother is a coward. In the future, the three of us will be of one mind. Are you afraid that we can't walk the path of cultivation for a long time? I am still young, eldest brother and second brother, please take care of me more in the future."

Lu Qingshan said, "It's just a small matter. Don't you want to do business in Fuguang Town? It just so happens that my eldest brother has three shops here. I don't like to manage them usually, so I'll give them to my younger brother as a gift. You can use them to sell wine." Chu Xuanji said in disbelief, "Those three shops are in the best locations in Fuguang Town. Since the third brother has a gift, I, the second brother, can't be left out, right? Don't be partial to one over the other~"

Lu Qingshan glanced at Chu Xuanji, scratched his head and said, "You are richer than me, what can I give you!" Chu Xuanji was speechless. Chu Xuanji's wealth was much richer than that of ordinary refining cultivators. He really didn't need Lu Qingshan to give him anything. Pan Chengfeng bowed and said, "I'm welcome, thank you, brother. It's just what we need." Lu Qingshan waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. You just arrived and don't have a place to stay, right? Come on!" A Yuanying attendant came in from the door, bowed and asked, "What do you want, Pavilion Master?"
