Chapter 205 He Guang: Are you an angel investor?!
"That's great, it has a lot of potential." Zhong Ming really started to consider whether he should become Danpo Fairy's apprentice and study this method properly.
However, the thought of her thick waist, like a bucket, and how she would lift He Guang by the back of his neck like a chick sent chills down his spine.
The old Taoist priest's "kind" demeanor was still vivid in my mind; this betrayal of his master would surely...
and many more.
Why do I have to research everything myself?
Ask Xuanjing about talismans, ask Chen Dahai about bows and crossbows; these things that are like alcohol and bombs...
Zhong Ming turned his head slightly to look at He Guang.
Such "eagerly expectant" looks made the little boy feel uneasy.
He almost cried as he said, "We had an agreement, to wipe the slate clean, to wipe the slate clean!"
"Don't rush, I have an idea about this. Do you want to hear it?" Zhong Ming grinned, which, combined with his scarred and frightening face, made him look especially scary.
He Guang retreated repeatedly, determined that if Zhong Ming dared to take a single step forward, he would shout, he would shout loudly... he really, really would shout at the top of his lungs.
Instead of moving forward, Zhong Ming took several steps back.
"He Guang, what if you blow this up..."
"Hey! It wasn't me~" Upon hearing this, He Guang assumed that the "distinguished guest" in front of him was going to retaliate in kind, just like he had done before, smashing a wine jar and accusing him of doing it.
“Let’s talk this out. This wine jar was used by Fairy Danpo when she was young. It has great significance to her. If it’s broken, neither of us will be able to avoid the consequences.”
"Oh." Zhong Ming looked at He Guang with a smile.
To be precise, it was behind He Guang.
"You mean, Fairy Danpo is no longer young?"
"That was when..." Before He Guang could finish speaking, the hairs on his body stood on end, and his body reacted instinctively, startling him.
"Of course that's impossible." As soon as he said that, He Guang felt a rough, large hand press down on his head and "pat" it hard a few times.
Zhong Ming bowed respectfully and then pointed to the largest wine vat.
With a bright smile, Fairy Danpo walked lightly to the wine vat with earth-shaking steps and said happily, "Oh my, Master Cuihong is so thoughtful. This vat is called Seeking Immortal Dew. It is specially brewed for junior Qi Refining cultivators to increase their cultivation. It has been with me for more than a hundred years. Today, it has regained its former glory. It seems as if a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Mortals seek the elixir of immortality, seeking the path to immortality.
Seeing that Fairy Danpo was in a good mood, Zhong Ming proposed a deal.
"Fairy Danpo, I think your disciple is very talented."
"Who, him? He Guang? Haha, just a child, fond of playing around. He's not calm and his skills are lacking. He'll only make you laugh."
Zhong Ming waved his hand and laughed, "Your Highness is mistaken. His talent is probably in destruction. If he were to study the art of breaking wine jars, he might very well achieve something great. Yunzhou might produce more deadly weapons made of wine jars."
Fairy Danpo remained unconvinced, saying, "Strange skills and ingenious tricks are clumsy methods, the work of naughty children, and they happen every year. They can't be considered talent."
"Fairy Danpo, what if I were willing to help him?"
The master brewer was taken aback. "That's great! That's wonderful! As long as she's willing to befriend us, that's fine." She was a brewer; to put it nicely, she believed that wine could make people drunk, but to put it bluntly, she was just trying to build relationships by selling wine. Maintaining good relationships was practically ingrained in her very being.
She composed herself, her expression gradually becoming serious, showing that she took Zhong Ming's words very seriously. "Tell me," she said.
"If I were to regularly improve the quality of your wine vat artifacts, and in return spare some of the 'hopeless' artifacts for He Guang to study methods of breaking them, what would you say?"
"Master Cuihong, are you... going to sponsor He Guang's research on this?"
After Zhong Ming finished speaking, not only did Fairy Danpo not understand, but He Guang also couldn't figure out what Zhong Ming was up to.
"This isn't impossible, but the proportions..."
"I'll upgrade a mid-grade magic artifact to a high-grade one, and you'll spare a low-grade magic artifact for me, how about that?" Zhong Ming didn't think it was a waste to work for free. This place was safe and quiet, and it would be best to earn some extra money while cultivating. However, now he was offering He Guang's research as payment.
"Of course, I want to know He Guang's research results as soon as possible, free of charge."
The Grandmaster immediately agreed, fearing that Zhong Ming might regret it.
She didn't lose out; upgrading to a high-grade magic artifact is far more valuable than a low-grade one. He Guang researched... Zhong Ming knew the result, and as her master, she certainly had to know too.
"Has Master Cuihong really made up his mind?"
"Of course, He Guang, what do you think?"
He Guang (quietly gives a thumbs-up: Righteous, a really good person.)
Therefore, Zhong Ming gave He Guang his first order.
The wine vat is a ritual implement, and the lid of the wine vat is naturally a matching one, also of the ritual implement level. Zhong Ming asked him to first try to destroy the lid of the wine vat without damaging the wine vat itself.
Having received the "imperial decree," He Guang took off running. In those few seconds, he had already compiled eight volumes and sixty-three detailed rules for his "grand plan to blow up the vat," and his mind was full of nothing but getting to work.
He rushed to the door, then stopped abruptly. Taking advantage of his master's back being turned, he made a "thank you so much" gesture to Zhong Ming and skipped away.
With a light touch of her toes, Fairy Danpo arrived at the edge of the huge wine vat. A slight smile appeared on her lips as she said, "I used to love lying in here, looking at the blue sky, and letting my mind and body relax."
Zhong Ming nodded, thinking, 'Yes, it really makes me feel safe to sleep.'
"Those were tough times, but the beauty amidst the hardship was especially precious, like a red flower blooming in the snow, so lovely that one couldn't bear to recall it." As she spoke, Fairy Danpo suddenly waved her hand, clearly inviting Zhong Ming... to sit in the vat.
Zhong Ming: ? ? ?
Well, since we're on their turf, we should just listen to them.
He felt a little uneasy, but he still followed along. He flipped over and nimbly jumped onto the edge of the jar. He originally wanted to land gracefully, but he found that Fairy Danpo carefully slid down the jar wall, as if she was afraid that jumping down would break the bottom of the jar.
Zhong Ming smiled knowingly; it seemed she had been reprimanded by her master quite a bit in the past.
After the two landed at the bottom of the jar, they sat cross-legged facing each other.
The Fairy Danpo wore a coarse linen robe, tightly bound with several brocade ropes. She appeared incredibly capable while working, but the moment she sat down...
Zhong Ming suppressed a laugh; he looked like a tied-up hairy crab.
“Master Cuihong, in the past, I would only invite very close friends to this place, to my… secret base.”
