When Lu Xiaotian learned of Cao Kun's fondness for the green bamboo wine, he decided to make it clear to Cao Kun. There were some things that would be safer if they were laid out in the open.
After speaking, Lu Xiaotian crossed his arms and looked at Cao Kun. Waiting for Cao Kun to make his decision.
Cao Kun's face was gloomy. With his status in the Marquis' Estate, it was naturally easy to arrange for a few people to enter, especially when they were only doing odd jobs in some inconspicuous places in the Marquis' Estate. It was even more effortless. He had arranged for one or two people before, and now they were still working in the Marquis' estate. But it was the first time he met someone like Lu Xiaotian, who clearly had ulterior motives but made his intentions clear.
Intuition told him that he should refuse, after all he could not allow anyone to endanger Zhen Wei Hou.
But Lu Xiaotian's honesty was also very sincere. The other party had already made his intentions clear, he only wanted to use the unique fire qi of the Marquis' estate to cultivate, and it was not a big deal. And Lu Xiaotian was right, he alone, especially under the circumstances that he had already laid his cards on the table, he really could not make any waves. Even if it was a Jin Dan late stage cultivator, if he entered the Marquis' estate and wanted to scheme, under the circumstances that they were already on guard, he would definitely die. Unless the other party was a Yuanying stage cultivator, but of course this situation could be ruled out.
If Lu Xiaotian was a threat to the Marquis' estate, he naturally could not be allowed to enter. But, Cao Kun's heart surged with a trace of luck. If there was no danger, what harm was there in letting him enter the estate?
"The price of entering the Marquis' estate, just relying on this pot of green bamboo wine is not enough. Even if I know your secret recipe, but even the cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice. Without spiritual items on hand, there is nothing I can do." Thinking through the crux of the matter, Cao Kun leaned back on the chair and said casually.
"I naturally still have some spirit wine here. It's neither too much nor too little, but it's enough for you to drink for a period of time. Of course, concocting these spirit wines is extremely difficult, and obtaining them is even more difficult. I naturally can only give them to you after I enter the Marquis' estate. Otherwise, if you renege on your debt, then I can't do anything to you." Lu Xiaotian's heart relaxed. So long as Cao Kun agreed, then it would be easy to handle.
"Alright, then we'll talk about it after we enter the manor. However, I'll say the ugly words first. It's best if you don't have any crooked ideas. Otherwise, you'll end up harming yourself.
Cao Tong gave Lu Xiaotian a warning look.
"There's no point in saying more. You can do as you see fit after you enter the manor. But after drinking my wine, you can't really arrange some trivial matters for me. Otherwise, if worst comes to worst, we'll break up and I won't work in the Zhenwei Marquis Estate anymore. "Lu Xiaotian didn't care too much about Cao Kun's threat.
"Alright, it's a deal then." Since it was a deal, Cao Kun didn't think too much about it. He began to covet the wine in Lu Xiaotian's hand more and more.
Lu Xiaotian didn't say much and directly gave the pot of wine to Cao Kun. He didn't mind tasting fine wine occasionally, but Lu Xiaotian admitted that he couldn't spend too much time on it. For Lu Xiaotian at this time, nothing was more important than improving his cultivation.
During the conversation in the wine shop, Cao Kun also tried to find out the background of Lu Xiaotian. However, after several inquiries, he only knew that Lu Xiaotian was just a wandering Individual Cultivator who had stayed at the edge of the Black Sky Mountain Range for a period of time and didn't have a fixed residence. Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Lu Xiaotian, Cao Kun didn't waste his breath anymore.
After the wine party, Cao Kun took Lu Xiaotian to the Zhenwei Marquis Estate as instructed. When they entered through the main gate, they could feel the grandeur of the Zhenwei Marquis Estate. It was even better than some smaller Sect's. The main gate was decorated with vermilion and red pillars, and there were several large characters made of pure gold. The characters were written in bold strokes. Just by looking at it, there was a kind of overwhelming power. It seemed that the cultivation of the person who wrote the characters was not low. He was actually able to write the artistic conception into the characters.
The guard at the gate saluted Cao Kun from afar. Cao Kun only nodded slightly and didn't say anything. He directly led Lu Xiaotian in. Lu Xiaotian was slightly surprised. It seemed that Cao Kun's position in the Zhenwei Marquis Estate was higher than he had imagined.
After entering the Marquis Estate and passing through the most luxurious area of the Zhenwei Marquis Estate, Lu Xiaotian had a deeper understanding of this sentence. If it was an ordinary person who came in, they probably wouldn't even be able to find their way.
Following Cao Kun to the backyard of the Marquis Estate, they were already a hundred miles away from the dense buildings and pavilions of the Marquis Estate. From time to time, they could see patrolling guards. There were also spirit fields planted with various spirit herbs, small streams, and continuous green mountains in the Marquis Estate. Compared to the Hidden Moon Villa where he had stayed before, it was several times larger. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call the Zhenwei Marquis Estate a territory.
"Here, this is your residence. It's a single room. According to your request, you are responsible for managing this lotus pond where the Rank 6 Red Lotus grows. You don't have anything to do usually, as long as you don't let some spirit beasts in the courtyard steal the lotus leaves. This job should be peaceful enough. "Cao Kun said with a 'hehe'.
"Not bad. If nothing unexpected happens, I won't easily leave this area. You also shouldn't casually let people come and bother me. I may not necessarily cultivate in this room. I may also be in some other place in the back mountain. In short, I won't take a step into the important areas of the Marquis Estate. " Lu Xiaotian was quite satisfied with this arrangement. He threw a pot of green bamboo wine to Cao Kun. "Drink it sparingly. If you drink it too quickly, I'm afraid it won't be long before you finish."
"Okay, if you really only want to cultivate here, no one will come and disturb you except when I come to ask for wine." Cao Kun nodded and turned around to leave. After several miles away, the corners of Cao Kun's mouth lifted and he opened his mouth to let out a low whistle.
With a whoosh, a shadow flashed. When it stopped, a Di You Hound with a body like a horse, five sharp fingers, and a dog's head came to Cao Kun's side. It intimately rubbed its head against Cao Kun.
Cao Kun chuckled. Very few people in the estate knew that this Level 8 Di You Hound was his spirit beast. Ever since he fell from the middle Jin Dan stage to his current stage, he had kept the Di You Hound in the estate. Cao Kun passed the wine pot to the Di You Hound for a sniff. "Remember this person's scent. Once he steps within fifteen miles of the Marquis, immediately warn me. Understand?"
The Di You Hound gave a low howl and nodded in a very human-like manner, indicating that it understood.
Cao Kun patted the Di You Hound's head with satisfaction. The Di You Hound's four legs moved and it quickly disappeared. Seeing the Di You Hound disappear, Cao Kun muttered to himself, "I hope you aren't a person with evil intentions. Otherwise, you'll be seeking your own death."
