As the capital city of Northern Yan, Yan Jing City definitely had a lot of restaurants that were presentable.
Chu Xiu didn't know much about these things, but Xiang Wu did. After all, to him, eating was one of his few hobbies.
At this moment, in the number one private room of Flying Phoenix Restaurant, Xiang Wu sat in the middle while Chu Xiu and Ren Qianli sat on either side of him. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Ren Qianli frowned and Chu Xiu wouldn't apologize humbly, so it was more like a meeting between enemies.
Xiang Wu laughed and said, "I say, both of you, eat when you should. This restaurant's specialty is fried bananas. It was created by their chef under my inspiration. It became popular in Yan Jing City in a short period of time."
Chu Xiu glanced at the black thing on the plate. It was really affecting his appetite.
If the chef of Flying Phoenix Restaurant could only create this thing, he would have been chased away by the shopkeeper. It was more likely that this thing was created under Ren Qianli's coercion.
Chu Xiu knocked on the table with his fingers and said, "General Ren, you and I do have some grudges in the Northern Fluttering Snow City, that's true. But grudges don't affect interests. This time, I'm here to discuss a deal with you. After all, no one will go against interests. "
When Ren Qianli heard this, he turned around and asked in astonishment, "Deal? What deal? "
He guessed that Chu Xiu wouldn't admit defeat so easily, but he didn't expect Chu Xiu to talk about a deal with him.
Chu Xiu coughed and said, "I heard that your lineage accidentally discovered a part of the Yin and Yang Sorrowful Poem. You also know that I have several kinds of Sorrowful Poems on me, so I want to collect them all. For this, I am willing to take out the same level of martial arts in exchange and add some elixirs and other things produced by the Zhenwu Hall."
After hearing Chu Xiu's words, Ren Qianli's eyes immediately flashed with astonishment.
Many people in the Pugilistic World knew about the Great Compassion Poem. However, although a single Great Compassion Poem was very strong, it was not strong enough to surpass the Nine Transformations.
Therefore, for so many years in the Jianghu, there were many martial artists who wanted to collect the Great Compassion Poem. He did not expect Chu Xiu to have such ambition.
However, be it Xiang Wu or Ren Qianli, neither of them believed that Chu Xiu would be able to gather all of the Yin and Yang Sorrowful Poems. After all, it had been so many years and no one in Jianghu had been able to do it. According to legend, some people could gather up to six of the Sorrowful Poems, but there was still one that they could not find.
As far as they knew, although Chu Xiu had a lot of martial arts of the Great Compassion Poem of Heaven and Earth Intersecting Yin and Yang, he still needed a few more to complete it. He was still far from completion.
In fact, this was also something that Chu Xiu had unintentionally hidden.
His Great Primordial Chaos Technique of Heaven and Earth and the Great Acupoint Shifting Technique of Heaven and Earth were internal martial arts. Even if Chu Xiu displayed them in public, very few people would be able to see through them.
No one expected that Chu Xiu had actually collected the last part of the Great Compassion Poem without making a sound.
Previously in the conflict in the Northern Fluttering Snow City, both parties did not really fight, so this conflict could be resolved. Ren Qianli immediately said, "You said that you are willing to exchange martial arts of equal value? Alright, I don't want anything else. I heard that you have the secret Nine Words Formula of the Tantric Buddhism Sect, as well as the divine martial arts passed down from Master Tam Yuan, the Great Sun Changing Technique, and the Colorless Sealing Palm. I just want these three. "
The martial artists of Fang Jinwu's lineage did not practice pure Buddhist martial arts, but they were somewhat related to Buddhist martial arts.
Therefore, among the martial artists of the Northern Yan World, Fang Jinwu was closest to Buddhist martial arts.
Everyone in the Pugilistic World knew that Chu Xiu practiced martial arts, Taoism, Buddhism, and demonic martial arts.
It was just that no monk had come to make a fuss about Chu Xiu handing over his Buddhist martial arts.
Of course, this was not because those monks were reasonable, but because there was no need.
The Buddhist sects in the world were led by the Zen sects, and they naturally looked down on the Nine Words Formula of the Tantric Buddhism Sect.
There was also the Great Sun Changing Technique and the Colorless Sealing Palm. Although these two martial arts were from the Zen sects, they were passed down from Master Tam Yuan.
With Master Tam Yuan's reputation, even if everyone knew that he had found the wrong successor and had actually passed down his legacy to a devil like Chu Xiu, no one could use the excuse of martial arts sects to take away this legacy.
The Buddhist martial arts that Chu Xiu practiced had been proven in countless battles, and its power could be said to be incomparably strong. If Fang Jinwu could inherit these three martial arts from Chu Xiu, the strength of the lineage of Fang Jinwu's lineage would definitely increase by leaps and bounds.
At this moment, Chu Xiu sneered and said, "General Ren, aren't you too optimistic? Don't you know the level of these three martial arts? I'm talking about exchanging them to the same level as the Great Compassion Poem in your hands. Are you treating the martial arts in your hands as the complete version of the Great Compassion Poem? "
Ren Qianli said faintly, "Official Chu, you are wrong. Not a single one of the Great Compassion Poems can be missing, and there is no difference between six and five. Since you want to make a deal, you definitely have to use the value of the entire Great Compassion Poem to evaluate it. Am I wrong to say so?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "I came here with sincerity, but it seems like General Ren is not sincere at all."
Ren Qianli fiddled with the teacup in his hand and said faintly, "Official Chu, I will also tell you the truth. The Great Compassion Poem is not in my hands now, but in the hands of my master.
Chen Jinting is my master's last disciple. Previously, you taught Chen Jinting a lesson in front of everyone.
Even though you are of the same generation and age as Chen Jinting, your strength is sufficient to be his senior. Therefore, I didn't find trouble with you after that.
However!
Master, on the other hand, is very displeased with you.
You should know that he is already old and doesn't care much about things like power and influence anymore. On the contrary, he values his reputation more than anyone else.
If you were to teach your junior brother a lesson, you would be disgracing Master. If you could go to Empty Valley and kowtow to Master in front of everyone, admitting defeat and giving in to Master, then perhaps Master wouldn't even need to exchange anything for the Great Compassion Poem. Master would just give it to you.
But on the other hand, if you don't want to give Master face, then take out the few Buddhist techniques you have and I will go to Master myself. Whether it is persuasion or deception, I will definitely be able to get the techniques for you in the end. "
After he finished speaking, Ren Qianli leisurely drank a mouthful of wine with a fearless look on his face.
In fact, he wasn't deliberately humiliating Chu Xiu. In fact, he hoped that Chu Xiu would choose the latter option. That way, he would be able to obtain a few powerful Buddhist techniques.
After the incident at the Fluttering Snow City, Fang Jinwu was indeed unbearably angry.
In terms of status in Jianghu, Fang Jinwu was definitely one of the oldest people in the Northern Yan. He was of the same generation as the ancestor of the Fluttering Snow City.
In addition, he was a Rogue Cultivator and didn't have any demonic identity. Therefore, the Northern Yan martial arts community gave him face. Even the first seat of the Great Guangming Temple was the same.
Of course, the first seat of the Great Guangming Temple referred to the Six Great Martial Academies and not the Three Great Zen Halls.
Just like what Ren Qianli said, the old man was already so old. He wasn't as greedy for life as the ancestor of the Fluttering Snow City. He didn't care about power, fame, and even further strength. The only thing he cared about was his own reputation.
This time, Chu Xiu humiliated Chen Jinting in public. This matter wasn't big or small, but it really made Fang Jinwu very angry.
And Fang Jinwu wasn't so old and muddle-headed as to find trouble with Chu Xiu over such a trivial matter. Therefore, he had originally planned to let it go.
But now, if Chu Xiu took the initiative to come to him, it would be strange if Fang Jinwu didn't treat him nicely.
Chu Xiu revealed a mysterious smile on his face. Although there was a smile on his face, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. "That is to say, there's no room for negotiation?"
A person's way of thinking would change according to their status, just like how Chu Xiu was now.
If he was weak in the past, it wouldn't be a big deal for him to kowtow and apologize for a technique like the Great Compassion Poem. Kneeling could be exchanged for a peerless technique. There were countless people in Jianghu who wanted to kneel.
It was said that a man's knees were worth gold. There were countless people in Jianghu who dared to say this. But when it came to the crucial moment, one still had to kneel.
Gold wasn't as important as one's life or future.
But now, Chu Xiu wasn't the Chu Xiu of the past. In the younger generation of Jianghu, he and Zhang Chengzhen were outstanding people who far surpassed their peers. Along the way, there were countless martial arts masters who died in the hands of Chu Xiu. To put it in an arrogant way, he was also someone who could stir up a storm with one hand.
Therefore, even though he knew that he could get what he wanted by kneeling, Chu Xiu didn't want to kneel!
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two parties was getting tenser, Xiang Wu, who had been engrossed in eating bananas, raised his head and said to Ren Qianli, "I say, Old Ren, let's each take a step back. Change the conditions to something less harsh and give me some face."
Ren Qianli stood up and said faintly, "Marquis, I've already given you face. Otherwise, I wouldn't have appeared here today.
However, I really couldn't change the conditions. Master was currently in a fit of anger. Without absolute benefits, I didn't dare to go to Master's place and say those useless things.
Official Chu is stubborn and unwilling to give in. If he isn't willing to pay the price, then there's nothing I can do. "
With that, Ren Qianli turned and left.
Anyway, now that Chu Xiu had something to ask of him, he had nothing to fear.
Xiang Wu spread his hands at Chu Xiu and said, "You saw it. Don't blame me for not doing my best. It's just that my reputation isn't that useful."
As the Great General of the Five Armies, Xiang Wu didn't have a good relationship with the other Great Generals. After all, he was a member of the Northern Yan royal family, and there was a barrier between him and the others.
He really wanted to help Chu Xiu to the best of his ability, but it was a pity that this matter was beyond his ability.
