"I'm Cao Kun of the Might Suppression Marquis Estate. May I know your name, Fellow Daoist? You look rather unfamiliar." Cao Kun cupped his hands and smiled.
"Lu Xiaotian, Fellow Daoist Cao is someone who knows wine well. I've just taken out this Green Bamboo Wine, yet Fellow Daoist Cao is already unable to restrain himself." Lu Xiaotian made an inviting gesture.
"Haha, I can't be considered someone who knows wine well, but I've done some research on Green Bamboo Wine. Besides cultivation, most of my remaining thoughts are placed on this thing." When Cao Kun saw that Lu Xiaotian didn't refuse his seat and even praised him for knowing wine well, he instantly burst with joy. Based on Lu Xiaotian's bearing, he probably wouldn't refuse to taste such fine wine with him. Fortunately, he'd arrived a step earlier. Otherwise, if someone else were to arrive before him, wouldn't he have to brush past such fine wine?
"Oh? Since it's like that, why don't Fellow Daoist Cao tell me what's so special about this Green Bamboo Wine? If you're right, then there's no harm in sharing this wine with Fellow Daoist Cao. "Lu Xiaotian said.
"Alright, then it's settled." Cao Kun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he overlapped his palms and seemed to have the intention of rubbing his palms together as he sniffed lightly. "The taste is sweet and mellow, yet it doesn't have the thickness of aged Green Bamboo Wine. It should be newly brewed. It's a pity that it wasn't aged for a few years. "
"This wine's fragrance is so refreshing and doesn't have the slightest sense of age. It should be taken from the tender heart of the Celestial Bamboo. Moreover, not a single old leaf was mixed into it. Fellow Daoist can be considered an extraordinary person to be able to spend so much effort to brew this pot of wine. Am I right? "Cao Kun said with a chuckle.
"Not bad, I'll get you a cup." Lu Xiaotian readily poured a cup of wine for Cao Kun. The cup in his hand wasn't an ordinary porcelain cup or jade, but a small cup made from bamboo.
"A wine cup made from at least 800 years old Celestial Bamboo. Fellow Daoist's generosity is really great." Cao Kun instantly turned pale with fright when he saw the wine cup Lu Xiaotian took out. His hand trembled slightly as he took the wine glass.
Skyriver Bamboo was extremely rare to begin with, and even in the Blacksky Mountain Range, one would occasionally encounter one. However, demon beasts ran amok in the Blacksky Mountain Range, so Skyriver Bamboo of such an age was rare. When it occasionally appeared, it would be taken away by other cultivators. Even if he was the Head Manager of the Marquis' Estate, it was still the first time he'd seen it. The Tianhe Bamboo was an extremely good material for refining tools. Using it to make wine cups was a bit too extravagant. This didn't seem like something a Foundation Establishment cultivator should do. By the time Cao Kun took the wine cup, his mind was already spinning a few times.
"It's just a small piece that I obtained by chance. It's too little to be used for refining, so it's not suitable for anything else. It just so happens that I've brewed some wine. It's not bad to use it as a vessel to hold wine." Lu Xiaotian said with a smile. How could he tell the truth? He had sawed off a small section of the Tianhe Bamboo in the barrier to make this wine vessel.
"So that's how it is. Lu Daoyou is really a thoughtful person. This is the most suitable container for the Green Bamboo Brew. If it were an ordinary container, it would lose some of its flavor. Since that's the case, I won't be polite. " Cao Kun took a sip. While he was intoxicated, his face also revealed a bit of surprise. "This, this is!"
Lu Xiaotian held the wine pot in his hand and calmly looked at Cao Kun with an expression of testing. "What? Is Fellow Daoist Cao only able to see this?"
"Even the Green Bamboo Brew brewed from Tianhe Bamboo shouldn't be like this bejeweled nectar. Lu Daoyou's wine is newly brewed, but its mellow taste isn't the slightest bit inferior to those fine wines that have been aged for nearly a hundred years." Cao Kun revealed a puzzled expression.
"This is the uniqueness of this wine's brewing. Fellow Daoist Cao can also see that my Green Bamboo Brew is newly brewed. If it were to be aged for a few more years, its flavor would be even more unique. When I brewed this wine, I deliberately added some other materials. Regardless of whether it was the materials or the brewing method, ordinary Green Bamboo Brew can't compare. "Lu Xiaotian stopped there and didn't reveal the secret.
"It seems that Lu Daoyou's attainments in the Dao of Wine are quite profound. Although I believe that few people know as much about the Green Bamboo Brew as I do today, meeting Lu Daoyou has made me realize that there is always someone better. It seems that I won't be able to drink this second cup of wine, "Cao Kun said with a regretful expression.
Lu Xiaotian placed the wine pot on the table and said, "Actually, it's not difficult to drink this wine. Forget about the second cup, even if it's just this pot of wine, or the secret method to brew the Green Bamboo Wine, it's not impossible for Fellow Daoist Cao to try."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details. "Cao Kun said with a bit of interest.
"I've long heard that the fire spiritual energy in the Zhen Wei Marquis Mansion is abnormally rich. It is very beneficial for fire attribute cultivators to cultivate. I've admired it for a long time and also wanted to find a job in the Zhen Wei Marquis Mansion. As long as it can provide for my cultivation, I won't be careless. Fellow Daoist Cao is deeply trusted by the Zhen Wei Marquis. Presumably, arranging for someone to enter the mansion should be a simple matter. "Lu Xiaotian said in a simple and clear manner.
"You want to enter the Zhen Wei Marquis Mansion only for this purpose?" Cao Kun's eyes suddenly sharpened as he vigilantly looked at Lu Xiaotian.
"What other purpose can I have? The Zhen Wei Marquis Mansion is filled with experts. Even if I'm a late Jin Dan Realm cultivator, I won't be able to leave. Not to mention, my cultivation is mediocre. " Lu Xiaotian said in a magnanimous tone, "If I really have any other purpose, I'll just look for other opportunities to enter the Zhen Wei Marquis Mansion. Do you really need to be so frank with Housekeeper Cao?"
"What you say is also true. It's just that the Zhen Wei Marquis Mansion has attracted a lot of attention these past few years. I have no choice but to be on guard." When Cao Kun heard Lu Xiaotian's words, he also felt that it was somewhat reasonable. If Lu Xiaotian really had other intentions, wouldn't he be walking into a trap by using his connections to enter the Zhen Wei Marquis Mansion? He only needed to arrange for someone to secretly pay attention to Lu Xiaotian. However, when it came to the Zhen Wei Marquis Mansion, Cao Kun was extremely cautious and didn't easily relent.
