Chapter 352: Jin Taichung, showing the grace of an immortal!
(Written in advance - I have been busy at work recently, and I have been slacking off recently, so I haven't updated on time. I hope my readers will forgive me! I will update normally in the future!)
Tu Zao looked at the announcement on the red scroll and made some calculations in his mind.
Although he was a shrewd businessman, he also understood that these four "immortals" had ill intentions. If he handled the situation improperly, the entire Apocalypse City would probably suffer.
He took a deep breath, a respectful smile on his face, and bowed to Wen Yanzhao and said:
"My Lords, I understand! You four want to borrow my Thousand Gold Platform to host a banquet so that all the heroes, wealthy businessmen and dignitaries in Tianqi City can come here to present their treasures. This will make it easier for you Lords to find that rare treasure, right?"
Wen Yanzhao nodded slightly, secretly laughing at Tu Zao, who was indeed a sly and cunning businessman. However, his expression remained unchanged and his tone remained stern as he said:
“You, the bald shopkeeper, are quite well-behaved, and you’re right!
I just left my body and looked around at over a hundred cities of varying sizes within a thousand miles. The largest of them all is Tianqi City, the capital of Beili State!"
"If the four of us want to find the Taibai Giant Clam in a short period of time, we'll probably have to create a big scene in Tianqi City!"
"Your Qianjintai is a bustling place in the city. News spreads quickly, and many people gather here. We will hold a banquet here. Within three days, anyone who is willing to donate treasures can come. You only need to arrange the venue and entertain the guests. You don't have to worry about the rest."
"If you can find the Taibai Giant Clam in a short period of time, my brother Shao Geng will certainly benefit from you!"
Tu Zao nodded repeatedly, his face happy but secretly groaning in his heart.
These four "immortals" were clearly not to be trifled with. If anything went wrong during the banquet, his magnificent platform would be completely shattered. He didn't dare to be negligent and quickly responded:
"Don't worry, my fellow immortals. I will do my best to make this banquet a success!"
After saying this, he raised his head slightly, put on a flattering smile and asked:
"I'm sure you, the Immortal Lords, have come all the way from the fairyland thousands of miles away, and have endured the hardship of your journey. Your presence has brought honor to our humble inn! I would like to offer you some mortal wine and food as a welcome treat. Would you be so kind as to do me the honor?"
Wen Yanzhao smiled faintly and said, "Alright, then go and get it done now. Tell the guys in your shop to behave themselves and not come near us casually. If they get hurt, I won't have the time to revive them!"
Then Wen Yanzhao waved his hand to signal Tu Zao to leave. Tu Zao, as if pardoned, quickly took his servants to the side and began to arrange people to prepare for the banquet.
Baili Dongjun saw Tu Zao walking away and couldn't help laughing softly:
"Cousin, this is a brilliant idea. We can use this Qianjintai to hold a banquet. We can avoid a big fight and lure out the snakes, making the dignitaries in Tianqi City compete to donate gold and silver. Hey! Don't say it, don't say it... Cousin, this little brain of yours is really useful!"
Wen Yanzhao turned his head and smiled, a sly look flashing in his eyes as he said:
"Speak softly, don't let them hear you!"
"Although Tu Zao is shrewd, he also knows the current situation. He has already seen how powerful we are. If we just give him a little sweet treat, he will naturally cooperate. However, we must be careful in our daily actions and don't let others see our flaws."
Sikong Changfeng nodded in agreement. "That's right. Although we are disguised as immortals, we are not real immortals after all. If we are found out, we will probably cause unnecessary trouble. Especially after the scene we just made in the sky, I guess the whole capital is in an uproar now!"
Yin Luoxia raised her eyebrows and chuckled, with a hint of disdain in her tone:
"What are you afraid of? Junior Master, are you a little too timid?"
"Even if the three of us don't take action and are just pretending to do so, as long as Young Master Wen is here, even if all the masters of Tianqi City join forces, I'm afraid they won't be able to do anything to us!"
"Even if someone does see through us, we can just tear off our masks and head straight to the Taifu Temple (Note: In Shaobai's world, the Taifu Temple, under the Ministry of Revenue of the Northern Dynasty, is responsible for managing the country's finances and taxes. The Taifu Temple also has the Left Treasury and the Right Treasury, which mainly receive the rent and tax revenue submitted by all prefectures and counties across the country), smash down the treasury door, rob it, and run!"
Yin Luoxia completely changed her dignified and tranquil fairy image, and now looked like a bandit leader who had rushed out from a mountain stronghold!
Baili Dongjun covered his mouth and chuckled, "Okay, okay!"
"I thought my cousin was the only one who looked like a bandit, but I didn't expect Sister Luoxia to look even more like one than my cousin..."
On the high pavilion of Qianjintai, four young boys and girls with fairy-like looks were chatting and laughing. What they didn't know was that someone in the imperial palace had already set their sights on them.
Lord Gao, three or five of his servants and hangers-on worked together to quickly clean up the broken bricks and tiles that Wen Yanzhao had broken through the roof.
Tu Zao also instructed the waiters in the store to go to the Diaolou Xiaozhu to buy a few pots of good wine, and then went to the most famous restaurant in Tianqi City, Leyouyuan, to order a table of Tianzihao banquet. He packed all the delicacies in food boxes and sent them back to Qianjintai.
After arranging all this, Tu Zao asked the tea room to prepare a table of fine golden Pu'er tea, yogurt cherries, plum blossom pastries and other snacks for the "immortals" to enjoy.
Seeing that the tea and pastries were ready, Tu Zao glanced at the clepsydra in the corner of the main hall. It was almost noon.
He wiped the sweat off his hands. The silk handkerchief he used to wipe the sweat was already wet as if it had been fished out of the water.
Then he stole a sidelong glance at the four "immortals" chatting and laughing on the high pavilion. Seeing that they were in a good mood at the moment, he felt relieved and bowed respectfully to the high pavilion and said:
"My fellow immortals~"
"My fellow immortals, I have prepared tea and cakes for you. Please come down to the pavilion and have a chat. Let's try our famous Seal Gold Pu'er tea from Qianjintai."
When the four heard this, they immediately put away their smiles.
Wen Yanzhao smiled and said, "You are quite considerate, shopkeeper. If that's the case, I'd like to try some of your mortal tea and snacks!"
Upon hearing this, Tu Zao was overjoyed and bowed his waist, extending his hand to greet him, saying, "Immortal Lord, I am honored to receive your presence! Please come in, please come in!"
Wen Yanzhao winked at the other three people, and was the first to step out of the high pavilion. With incredible lightness, he walked down from the ten-foot-high pavilion as if he was strolling in the garden!
This display of lightness skill stunned everyone present. Where had they ever seen such lightness skill before?
In other words, this is not a light skill at all, but a skill that only true immortals have.
Baili Dongjun curled his lips and whispered to Sikong Changfeng and Yin Luoxia, "Okay, okay... Cousin is just doing this to embarrass the three of us!"
"That's a powerful move of his. If we were to use our Qinggong to fly down from the high pavilion, wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
Sikong Changfeng nodded repeatedly, expressing his approval: "Haha! Dongjun, you go down first. I will follow you later to avoid embarrassment!"
Yin Luoxia smiled sweetly, as if she didn't feel anything. She pulled out the purple silk wrapped around her shoulders and used all her internal strength to swing it towards you!
"call!"
The silk suddenly became straight, Yin Luoxia stretched out her arms and jumped onto the silk, then walked down lightly on the purple silk with a graceful dance!
When the Qianjintai staff saw the skills of Wen Yanzhao and Yin Luoxia, they exclaimed in amazement:
"Fairy...fairy!"
"It turns out there really are gods in this world!"
Baili Dongjun had an idea in his head. He raised his sword-like eyebrows and did not want to be outdone. He moved his fingers slightly and cast an illusion -
Just as Yin Luoxia landed, heavy snow began to fall from the high pavilion!
The snowflakes were so dense that they enveloped Baili Dongjun in a moment.
Before everyone could be surprised, the snowflakes suddenly gathered into a human shape, wrapped Baili Dongjun and flew down from the high platform!
Tu Zao and the other servants at Qianjintai just watched as the human-shaped snowflake fell steadily to the ground, and then suddenly rolled up, and Baili Dongjun in white clothes reappeared in front of everyone!
“It’s quite creative…”
Sikong Changfeng frowned and muttered to himself.
Seeing that the three of them had all displayed the demeanor of immortals, Sikong Changfeng, who had the lowest cultivation level, naturally felt a little embarrassed.
After thinking for a long time, he turned his gaze to the gentian spear in his hand and finally came up with a solution -
Tu Zao saw that three of the four "immortals" had already come down, and only the Western Region Immortal "Li Changgeng" was still standing on the high pavilion. He thought that he was unhappy because he had lost the Taibai Giant Clam.
Just as he was about to go up to Wen Yanzhao to ask, he heard a dragon roar overhead that resounded throughout the hall!
The spear in Sikong Changfeng's hand turned into a dragon head with glittering silver scales, and he himself stepped on the dragon head and jumped down from the high pavilion!
"boom!"
When Sikong Changfeng landed on the ground, he smashed the floor of four or five feet in radius beneath his feet, causing cracks to appear on every inch. The strong wind he stirred up made everyone cover their faces and scream in shock!
Wen Yanzhao gave a bitter laugh: "Brother Chang Geng, why are you so angry? You, Azure Dragon, should hold back a little and be careful of the mortals ahead!"
Upon hearing the voice, Tu Zao lowered his arm that was covering his face and looked at the broken obsidian floor under Sikong Changfeng's feet, feeling extremely sad.
He spent a lot of money to buy these obsidian floors from the South Pacific island country, and each piece is worth a lot of money.
After Sikong Changfeng's step, at least a dozen pieces were destroyed. That was pure silver. How could he not feel heartbroken?
But he is a dragon-controlling immortal, so Tu Zao could only twitch his lips and say:
"Every immortal king has an immortal demeanor when walking, sitting or lying down. It really opened my eyes!"
"Please take a seat. If the tea gets cold, the taste of the Zhuanjin Pu'er tea will be ruined..."
The four of them smiled at each other, then walked to the nanmu tea table in the southeast corner and sat down one by one.
