This silver ingot is worth a full five taels, and can be exchanged for at least six thousand copper coins, which is equivalent to more than a year's income for the waiter.
Don't even mention being an animal yourself; as long as Xu Long gives you enough, I'd make your whole family be animals too.
"Although there weren't as many seasonings in ancient times, the flavors were much more authentic. Domestic pigs were raised for two years before they were ready to eat, making them much tastier than those feed-fed pigs that were slaughtered after only five months."
Xu Long spoke to the Rice Bucket, who nodded repeatedly, his mouth practically watering.
It's normal for a cultivator to be without desires, but to expect a dog to follow the precepts is utterly absurd.
"Um?"
Xu Long turned his gaze and saw three people walking up the stairs.
The leader was a young man, tall and slender with handsome features.
Most people would just think she's a handsome guy, but Xu Long could tell at a glance that she wasn't human.
No, I can tell she's not a man.
"A woman dressed as a man? You have to admit, she's actually quite handsome."
Xu Long didn't pay much attention. It's not always convenient for women to travel around the martial arts world, so it's normal for them to pretend to be someone else.
But when he saw the two people behind her, he realized that this woman was no ordinary person.
Both were men, tall and with cold, aloof appearances.
Several small braids hung down in front of her chest, her breath long and deep.
These are two masters, two masters no less skilled than the leaders of sects like Emei and Shaolin.
"A woman disguised as a man, followed by two Golden Core, Zhao Min and the Xuanming Elders."
Xu Long looked away to avoid being noticed.
The Xuanming Elders are both experts in the Middle Golden Core Stage; they are not people he can deal with at his current level.
With their combined strength, the two of them could hold their own against Yang Xiao of the Ming Cult for a few moves. If Xu Long had advanced to the Golden Core Stage, they might have been able to put up a fight, but going there now would mean certain death.
However, Xu Long didn't want to attract attention, but his Rice Bucket was just too conspicuous.
As soon as Zhao Min went upstairs, she spotted the Rice Bucket sitting in a chair looking like a well-behaved child.
Wow, what an adorable big dog!
Zhao Min sat down next to the Rice Bucket and started masturbating.
"Young master, be careful, this dog is no ordinary creature."
Seeing Zhao Min so close to the Rice Bucket, the Xuanming Elders immediately moved closer, ready to make a move at any moment.
It's alright.
Zhao Min waved her hand, then looked at Xu Long, "Is it okay for me to pet your dog?"
"It's okay, it's very well-behaved and obedient, it won't bite."
Xu Long smiled and continued to wait for the waiter to serve the dishes.
The Rice Bucket had long, soft fur, and Zhao Min touched it a few times and couldn't put it down.
However, since Xu Long was the host after all, Zhao Min started to initiate conversations with Xu Long after she had her fill of fun.
"Is this your dog? It's so beautiful and cute. May I ask where you're from, young man?"
My home is in Mount Wudang.
Xu Long said casually.
" Mount Wudang? Could it be disciples of the Wudang Sect?"
Upon hearing Xu Long's words, Zhao Min immediately became interested.
"I'd like to too, but unfortunately the Wudang Sect won't accept me."
Xu Long shook his head and said with a wry smile, "My physique is special, Wudang Sect doesn't have any martial arts suitable for me. I can only practice fist and foot techniques to protect myself."
"Special physical condition?"
"Well, to put it simply, he's strong."
Xu Long nodded. "Hey, the food's here."
Kung Fu Hustle speaking, the waiter had already placed the food on the table.
"If this young master doesn't mind, then please join us for a meal."
Xu Long extended the invitation.
"Since that's the case, then I'll just have to swallow my pride and freeload a meal."
Zhao Min smiled and turned her gaze to the Rice Bucket beside her. "How will it eat? Should we give it its own bowl?"
"No need, that Rice Bucket knows how to use chopsticks."
Before Xu Long could finish speaking, the Rice Bucket had already started eating.
Its claws are quite dexterous; it can even stir-fry and cook, and using chopsticks is not difficult for it either.
Zhao Min watched from the sidelines, marveling at the sight, but showing no disdain.
The Rice Bucket was very clean and had no odor whatsoever.
Furthermore, it possesses Innate Stage cultivation, making it far stronger than over 90% of humans.
"This dog is truly a rare breed."
Zhao Min couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"That's natural."
Xu Long looked very proud. "A few years ago, I went hunting in the mountains and found it when it was still a puppy. I originally planned to keep it to keep me company, but I never expected it to be a different species. I owe my current life entirely to it."
"You raise it, and it helps you hunt; that's quite good."
The two chatted as they ate, while the Rice Bucket ate heartily, ignoring everything else.
Xu Long was quick-witted and knowledgeable, and soon he made Zhao Min laugh like a hen laying eggs.
In addition, through certain special methods, Zhao Min gradually developed feelings for him.
The meal was enjoyed by both host and guests, and soon it was time to say goodbye.
"Thank you for your hospitality, young master. If there is a chance, I will definitely treat you to a proper meal."
Although Zhao Min had a very good impression of Xu Long, she had a mission to complete and could not linger here.
"Hehe, interesting."
Watching Zhao Min's departing figure, Xu Long's lips curled into a smile.
To be honest, it's round and perky, so it should feel good to the touch.
"Awoo?"
The Rice Bucket stuffed a chicken leg into its mouth, moved its mouth a few times, and then spat out a bone.
"Keep eating, we still have a long way to go."
The Xuanming Elders are very powerful, and Xu Long will not take the initiative to clashed with them.
But a little provocation could work.
Xu Long possesses the Curse Speech Technique, which allows him to turn the impossible into the possible at a certain cost.
Zhang Min's purpose in coming out was to sow discord between the Ming Cult and the Emei Sect. If Abbess Miejue were to encounter the Xuanming Elders, what kind of sparks would fly?
Xu Long is really looking forward to it!
The Emei Sect is more than 2,000 li away from the Wudang Sect. It takes a carrier pigeon three days to reach them, but it would take much longer for a human to do so.
However, after such a long journey, Abbess Miejue finally met Zhou Zhiruo.
"Master! Your disciple is unfilial and has disgraced you!"
Upon seeing Abbess Miejue, Zhou Zhiruo could no longer bear the grievances in her heart.
I was inexplicably played with all night, and then I ran into that trash Song Qingshu.
After escaping from the Wudang Sect, he endured hardships and slept outdoors all the way. The more he thought about it, the angrier and more aggrieved he became.
"My dear disciple, don't be sad. Your master will take you to find Zhang Sanfeng and reason with him."
Although Abbess Miejue was ruthless and cruel, she was also very protective of her own.
As long as her disciples do not disobey her, Miejue will protect them to the very end.
Seeing Zhou Zhiruo so aggrieved, Abbess Miejue was already furious, almost exploded.
"Where are your two junior sisters? Why didn't they come back with you? Were they killed?"
"Abbess Miejue asked."
"They're not from the Wudang Sect, they're from the Demon Cult Sect."
Zhou Zhiruo wiped away her tears and replied, "The three of us encountered a group of people on the road who claimed to be the Blazing Fire Banner of the Five Elements Banners of the Demon Cult Sect. They killed two of our junior sisters, and our disciple was also injured."
"Oh? Why didn't he kill you?"
"Abbess Miejue asked in confusion."
"This disciple does not know either."
Zhou Zhiruo replied, "After injuring his disciple, he told the disciple to tell Master that this was the work of the Demon Cult's Blazing Fire Banner, and that if he had the ability, he should go find him himself."
