There were two square tables here, leaning against the wall. Behind a pair of scissors was a cylindrical wooden bucket. Next to the bucket was an old man who couldn't even open his eyes, scooping out bowls of tofu pudding unhurriedly.
Da Yu immediately became unhappy. She pouted and said, "I thought you were going to bring me to eat a big meal. Who knew it was just tofu pudding? It's not much better than drinking water. "
Ye Kong said, "Someone else brought me here to eat in the past. You'll know how good it is once you try it."
However, it was clear that Ye Kong was late. The two small tables were already occupied. One of the tables was occupied by four cultivators, three men and one woman. They were all Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones. The other table was occupied by a man and a woman. They were both Core Formation Perfected Ones.
Although there were two empty seats at the table on the right, cultivators who didn't know each other didn't want to get too close to each other. Ye Kong wanted to walk around and wait.
However, at that moment, Uncle Hong, who was selling tofu pudding, raised his head and casually greeted Ye Kong. "Come, sit."
Ye Kong had long guessed that the old man was an expert. Since the expert invited him to sit, he wouldn't leave. He pulled Da Yu over and sat at the table of the Core Formation cultivators.
The Core Formation cultivators looked like a pair of Dao companions. They raised their heads to look at Ye Kong before lowering their heads to eat the tofu pudding. Meanwhile, a few Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones were talking about the Heavenly Dao.
A young Perfected One said heroically, "The so-called Heavenly Dao is power! With power comes Heavenly Dao. The greater the power, the greater the Heavenly Dao. When I have the power to destroy heaven and earth, I will have the Heavenly Dao. "
Another slightly older Perfected One shook his head and said, "Junior Martial Brother, you're wrong. I think the Heavenly Dao isn't power. The Heavenly Dao is the profound truth of heaven and earth. The most mysterious things are those strange and inexplicable things."
Ye Kong smiled and didn't interrupt. He took the tofu pudding from Uncle Hong and handed one bowl to Da Yu before placing another bowl in front of him.
"It's delicious. Try it."
Da Yu ate it. It was indeed delicious. She was originally a dragon and had a big appetite. When she found the taste good, she directly poured it into her mouth. Such a ferocious way of eating startled the pair of Dao companions at the same table, and they looked at the little girl in astonishment.
After Da Yu finished eating, he realized that he ate too quickly and wanted another bowl. However, Uncle Hong said, "This tofu pudding stall will only sell one bowl per person."
Ye Kong knew that the old man was an expert, so he could only push the food he had just eaten to Da Yu. But this little girl still didn't want it. She skipped over to Uncle Hong's side and called him grandpa a few times. Then, she 'cutely' acted like a spoiled child, insisting on helping Uncle Hong.
Uncle Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, alright. Little ancestor, if you continue to help, this bucket of tofu pudding will be ruined today … I'll sell you another bowl, but you have to eat slowly."
Soon, Big Jade brought over another bowl and whispered proudly, "How is it?"
Ye Kong said angrily, "You're not being obedient again. Girls should be more ladylike and refined. Eat slowly."
"Oh." Big Jade's cuteness made the dao companions smile.
Then everyone buried their heads in tofu pudding.
The dao companions chatted while eating. The female cultivator asked, "Senior Martial Brother, your flying sword Dharma treasure is very domineering."
The male cultivator laughed and said, "How is this domineering? You've just formed your Gold Core, so you don't know. There are too many domineering Dharma treasures. My Green Jade Frost Sword is much more powerful than Dharma artifacts, but it pales in comparison to other Dharma treasures. "
The female cultivator seemed a little disappointed. However, the male cultivator said again, "But my Green Jade Frost Sword is still a half-finished product. When it's completely refined, its power will be much better than other Dharma treasures."
The female cultivator's disappointment disappeared and was replaced by admiration. She asked again, "Senior Martial Brother, it's been forty years since you formed your Gold Core. Why hasn't your Dharma treasure been refined?"
The male cultivator sighed and said, "This Green Jade Frost Sword needs the silk sac of an Ice Silkworm Queen to be refined. Only then can it have the effect of freezing things from a hundred steps away. Ice silkworms are easy to find, but Silkworm Queens are hard to find, so it hasn't been refined yet."
Ye Kong listened and didn't say anything. Ice Silkworm Queens were indeed rare, especially since Cangnan was full of dao cultivators. No one raised or caught these things. On the other hand, there should be some in Yunyao. There were many devil sects that cultivated Gu and raised insects there, so they should be able to find some.
Of course, Ye Kong didn't know them, so he wouldn't stand out and say he would help him find them … He reckoned that even people who had nothing better to do wouldn't do it.
However, at this moment, Big Jade spoke and asked Ye Kong, "Young Master, how many of your five flying swords have you refined? What materials do you still lack?"
Big Jade wasn't in the mood to compare. It was only when he heard their conversation that he recalled the five flying sword Dharma treasures that a certain someone had mentioned.
In front of others, Ye Kong didn't want to reveal his background. He said vaguely, "I'm still lacking the main materials like Sound Wood, but the other supplementary materials are all here."
In the Five Elements Sword Array, the Musical Bamboo Sword and Sound Wood Sword were the flying swords of the wood element. The main materials were Musical Bamboo and Sound Wood, which could carry a sound attack that bewitched people's minds. Musical Bamboo could be bought from The Black Robe, but Sound Wood was hard to find. Many people had never heard of Sound Wood.
Unexpectedly, the male cultivator sitting at the same table knew a thing or two. He struck up a conversation and said, "There's a strange wood in the south. It doesn't have a mouth, but it has sound. I wonder if Fellow Daoist is talking about this kind of strange wood? "
Ye Kong had already checked the ancient books, so he hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes. Could it be that Fellow Daoist has information about this? "
The male cultivator shook his head and said, "I advise Fellow Daoist to give up looking for it. According to the ancient books, this Sound Wood is a specialty of a certain place in ancient Cangnan. Every time it matures, it will let out a cry that sounds like a child's cry. However, it's precisely because of this characteristic that it's easier to find. The Sound Wood is widely used, so it was extremely rare in ancient times. It's impossible to find it now. Even if some of it can be separated from the ancient treasures, the price is not something that you and I can afford. "
The male cultivator was right. This Sound Wood was really difficult to find. Most importantly, this thing was a specialty of Cangnan. Cangbei and Yunyao would not be able to find it at all. It was indeed a headache, but could it be that the Five Elements Sword Array couldn't be assembled because of this? Ye Kong didn't want to give up.
The two of them chatted for a while and became familiar with each other. The male cultivator introduced himself. "I'm Seven Stars Sect's Li Guanhua. This is my Dao partner, Chen Shumin. How should I address you, Fellow Daoist?"
Ye Kong said, "My surname is Ye …"
Before he could finish speaking, the few Foundation Establishment cultivators at the next table who were talking about the Heavenly Dao actually started arguing. The three male cultivators wanted to show off in front of the female cultivator, so the argument became intense. The female cultivator had no choice but to come over and ask for help.
"Master, they're arguing again."
Li Guanhua frowned and shouted, "It's fine if they're arguing in the sect, but they're embarrassing me after coming out. If anyone says anything else, go back and face the wall right now!"
The three Perfected Ones stretched their necks and did not dare to speak. Li Guanhua then said to Ye Kong, "Friend Ye, please excuse me."
Actually, Li Guanhua did not take this Friend Ye seriously. He was just a cultivator who had just formed his Core. Judging from his tone, he had not even refined a Dharma treasure. Therefore, asking for Ye Kong's name was just a polite question. Before Ye Kong finished speaking, he did not want to ask anymore.
