Chapter 141 Willing to Be a Furnace
"What! How is this possible!"
Hua Qingfeng stared wide-eyed in disbelief. He never expected that his proud Asura Sword Domain would actually be blocked by Kongming.
"Hahaha... Fellow Daoist Hua's Asura Sword Domain is indeed extraordinary, it has truly broadened my horizons!"
Kongming stood on the Seven Stars, flicked his clothes, and said with a playful expression.
"you……"
Hua Qingfeng was speechless for a moment, his heart filled with indescribable shock.
He had a high opinion of himself, and the Asura Sword Domain was his proudest skill. He never expected that he would be completely helpless in front of a cultivator who had just entered the Golden Core stage, and he couldn't even touch a piece of the other's clothes.
"Zhuge Kongming, stop being so arrogant!" A cold glint flashed in Hua Qingfeng's eyes.
"Hahaha... Old Hua, quickly give your sword to me, Old Pig, as a toothpick, and I'll let you touch the hem of my brother's clothes!"
Seeing this, Pigsy couldn't stop laughing.
Upon hearing this, Hua Qingfeng's face turned ashen. He snorted coldly and suddenly spun around, instantly creating ripples of black light that shook the entire Asura Sword Domain.
Kongming cursed inwardly, thinking that this pig was talking big without considering the consequences.
The previous sword strike had already created huge cracks in his defenses, almost causing him to be unable to withstand it, and his internal energy was churning violently, although it was not very clear under the cover of starlight.
If Hua Qingfeng were to be stubborn and strike again, Kongming would definitely be seriously injured.
"Fellow Daoist Hua, let's stop this sparring. Continuing to fight will not benefit your sect. Why be so persistent?" Qin Shuang and Jin Ting quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.
Upon hearing this, Hua Qingfeng instantly calmed down. Kong Ming had only just entered the Golden Core stage, yet he already possessed such combat power, which made him somewhat shaken. After all, ordinary forces couldn't cultivate such an outstanding young disciple.
After glaring fiercely at Zhu Bajie, Kongming remained suspended in mid-air as if nothing had happened.
Just as Hua Qingfeng was hesitating, Kongming waved his feather fan and said, "Fellow Daoist Hua, I see your strength is quite good. How about I give you a pill to use as a furnace cauldron? Hahaha..."
Then, a crystal-clear pill appeared in Kongming's hand, and its fragrance immediately filled the air.
Desire Flame Enhancement Elixir?
All three were knowledgeable people, and they immediately blurted out their opinions.
“That’s right! I just happen to be looking for a cauldron for my cousin. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Hua?” Kongming said with a playful expression.
Upon seeing the pill, Qin Shuang and Jin Ting became even more certain of Kong Ming's identity. After all, the Desire Flame Enhancement Pill was a unique item of the Sima family, and it was specially made for female disciples.
However, they were curious why Kongming, a grown man, would carry such an elixir with him. Could it be that he was really looking for a furnace for his cousin?
Upon hearing this, Hua Qingfeng's face turned pale and then purple. He was a dignified Golden Core cultivator and an elder of one of the three major sects, yet Kong Ming kept calling him a "furnace."
However, at this moment, he had no temper left. In the eyes of those high and mighty ancient families, not to mention that he was just a Golden Core elder, the entire Five Absolute Sword Sect was nothing more than an ant.
If he were to truly offend such a being, he had no doubt that the sect would push him out as a scapegoat.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuge's combat prowess is astonishing. I was blind to his abilities. Please forgive me!"
Hua Qingfeng finally admitted defeat.
"Hahaha... It's alright. Please consider what I just said, Fellow Daoist Hua. I will certainly not treat you unfairly!"
Kongming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hua Qingfeng put away his spirit sword, but he still insisted that Hua Qingfeng be his furnace cauldron...
"Fellow Daoist Zhuge is joking. I am of dull talent, so please find someone else!" Hua Qingfeng said through gritted teeth, feeling extremely aggrieved. This was completely out of character for a sword cultivator.
But sometimes, when circumstances force you to act tough, it's not the time to be defiant!
"That's just how Fellow Daoist Hua is; he gets itchy when he encounters a strong opponent. I hope Fellow Daoist Zhuge will be more tolerant. I've prepared some light wine; you two have become acquainted through a fight, so how about we have a few drinks together!"
At this moment, Qin Shuang walked over and tried to smooth things over, saying that as a member of the three major sects, he understood the principle that everyone prospers or suffers together.
"Well, you old man, you're quite sensible. I, Old Pig, am still starving!"
Pigsy patted his belly, looking smug and self-satisfied...
"Come on, bring out my treasured wine!" Qin Shuang ordered during the meal.
Before long, two boys carefully carried two wine jars into the reception room.
As soon as the mud seal on the jar was broken, a rich and mellow aroma of wine instantly filled the entire hall.
"Oh my! Fellow Daoist Qin, is this the recently popular 'Flying Heaven' wine?"
Jin Ting twitched his nostrils. Before Qin Shuang could answer, he reached out and grabbed the wine jar, filled the wine glass in front of him, and drank it down in one gulp.
"Cool!"
After a while, Jin Ting smacked his lips in praise.
He had been craving this wine for a long time, but unfortunately it was not available in the Song Dynasty. He had only had the good fortune to taste it once at the home of a fellow Daoist in the Yuan Dynasty.
Even Hua Qingfeng couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Please drink less, we have important guests here!"
Qin Shuang said with heartache, "I spent a lot of money to get these two jars of wine."
Seeing this, Kongming smiled but remained silent. It seemed they didn't know that this wine came from his Wolong Manor.
After all, wine vendors rarely mention the origin of their wines to avoid revealing their source, and the Jade Cauldron Sect is no exception.
Apart from a few sects in the Tang Dynasty, the Heavenly Thunder Sect, and some people with ulterior motives, these foreigners only knew that the wine came from the Tang Dynasty. They had no idea which master made it, nor did they want to find out. They were happy as long as they could drink it.
"A bunch of bumpkins who've never seen the world!" Pigsy said disdainfully, staring at the three of them with a strange look, as if they were country bumpkins.
Qin Shuang wasn't angry when she heard this. After all, compared to the ancient aristocratic families, they were just country bumpkins!
However, he still spoke up, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhuge, you may not know this, but this wine is unlike any other wine in the world; it is truly rare. Here, please try it..."
Qin Shuang stood up and personally filled Kongming's wine cup.
Qin Shuang's words only made things worse; Zhu Ganglie immediately raised his pig head and demanded, "Tell me, how many do you want?"
Zhu Ganglie said nonchalantly, then waved his hand, and dozens of jars of 'Flying Heaven' flew out from his sleeve...
"This...this...it's all thanks to Fellow Daoist Zhuge's wealth and generosity!"
Qin Shuang sighed sincerely, after all, he had spent nearly 30,000 gold coins to get those two jars of wine, and he couldn't even buy them again.
He only takes out these consumables to savor when he's feeling peckish; he wouldn't buy so many to carry around.
"Hahaha... Fellow Daoist Qin, you misunderstand. This wine originally came from my Wolong Manor!"
Kongming smiled slightly, waving his feather fan, and began to speak.
"Wha...what?"
Upon hearing this, the group was stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
Qin Shuang nearly dropped the wine glass from her hand, her eyes wide with shock.
“From…Wolong Manor?!” he muttered to himself, his voice filled with shock.
After all, whoever controls this wine is undoubtedly a powerful financial tycoon; the influence of the ancient aristocratic family is truly unimaginable…
