"Master."
Chen Sanshi entered the cave dwelling and first clasped his fists in salute.
Mu Chutai, who had been sleeping groggily, slowly woke and cast him an impatient glance. "It's you, brat. What is it?"
"This disciple brought you a jar of the wine you enjoyed last time."
As Chen Sanshi spoke, he placed a wine jar on the table. Red paper was pasted onto the jar, bearing the words "Myriad Beast Primordial Brew."
"Hmm?"
Only then did Lord of Mount Tai rise from his bed. He lifted the lid and took a deep sniff with the jar held beneath his nose. "Fine wine indeed. But when have you ever brought me any, brat?"
He took a huge gulp before speaking in a low voice. "Go on, then. What do you want from me?"
"This disciple has already reached the Late Golden Body Stage and is preparing to strive toward the Dharma Image Realm."
Chen Sanshi replied, "Therefore, I came specifically to ask Master for the cultivation method."
"The cultivation method?"
Mu Chutai sneered. "That Dragon Scripture is one of the finest martial cultivation methods in heaven and earth. You think you can trade a single jar of wine for it? What master and disciple? Apprentices have to pay tuition too."
Chen Sanshi had long grown accustomed to his way of doing things. He merely said, "What can this disciple do for Master?"
Lord of Mount Tai drawled, "It's your Mistress Jing Shu. She recently took in a batch of new disciples and needs some medicinal materials."
As he spoke, he drew out a list he had prepared long ago from his robes.
Chen Sanshi accepted the list. After giving it a quick look, he agreed at once. "I'll have someone deliver the medicinal materials within the next few days."
