Industrial Cultivation

Chapter 46: A friend of the demon cultivator

Views:

In order to prevent Jun Shu from eating all the cake by himself, Zhu Changyang had to remind him: "You can only eat one piece now, and eat the rest after Jie Li and the others come."

Jun Shu's hand that was digging the cream suddenly slowed down and he said angrily, "Okay."

Then complain, "Why haven't they come yet?"

Zhu Changyang laughed, but looking at the sky, it was indeed a little late. It was already past noon, and the results should have come out long ago.

After waiting for a while, Jie Li finally came hurriedly over. However, it was different from what he expected. Jie Li's face looked very bad, and there were tears in his eyes.

Zhu Changyang had a bad feeling and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jie Li gritted his teeth and thought for a while before speaking: "Xizhi didn't pass the exam."

Zhu Changyang was stunned: "How could it be?!"

"Peng Gu and Yu Xicheng passed the exam, and Peng Gu even took first place." Jie Li said with hatred in his tone, "Peng Gu is fine, but Yu Xicheng's cultivation is much worse than Xizhi's. In the previous exams, he was ranked behind the admission list, but this time he happened to be ranked ahead of Xizhi, squeezing Xizhi out."

He didn't dare to say openly that Xie Xizhi must have been manipulated, but he couldn't believe that Xie Xizhi would fail the test against someone who had been hovering at the bottom.

Zhu Changyang frowned and said, "It seems that there are many tricks in the admission test of Yaoyin Pavilion."

Jie Li was silent for a while, then said, "The problem with Raoliang College has existed for a few years. Many of the people they admitted had paid to get in, but they used to give them extra places, and the rest were admitted normally. But this time, but..."

Zhu Changyang was speechless for a moment.

In fact, all the major immortal sects would relax their conditions and recruit some rich kids to generate income. For example, Shen Zha spent money to join the Zhan Cang Sect.

But basic fairness is always guaranteed. After all, it is a sect of immortal cultivation, and talented students are the top priority. It is impossible to put the cart before the horse.

In this major exam of Raoliang College, Jie Xizhi, who had always ranked first, was eliminated. It was obvious that someone was deliberately targeting him.

It is not difficult to guess who is behind this. What is surprising is that Peng Gu, a top music sect like Yaoyin Pavilion, was able to bribe the examiner. This is really intriguing.

However, no matter how much injustice and resentment one feels in one's heart, the gate to immortality is vague and far away, and it is ultimately not something that mortals can interfere with.

Even if Jie Xizhi could go to another music-cultivating sect, it would be difficult for him to get over the psychological hurdle of being rejected by the sect he had chosen in such an unclear manner.

"How is Xizhi now?" Zhu Changyang asked.

"She's hiding at home and refuses to see anyone." Jie Li sighed, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Okay, you go and look after Xizhi first." Zhu Changyang wanted to go over and take a look, but he really couldn't help with this matter. He thought that Xie Xizhi probably didn't want to see outsiders now, so he didn't say anything in the end.

After thinking for a while, he took out the baked cake, borrowed a lunch box from the waiter, cut two pieces and put them in the lunch box, spread some butter on it and handed it to Jie Li, "Take this for Xizhi to eat."

Jie Li smelled the rich sweet smell and felt his saliva flowing wildly. He took it and nodded: "Thank you, Brother Zhu."

Zhu Changyang saw Jie Li out the door, watched Jie Li walk away, then turned back.

Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I saw a familiar figure.

I saw a man walking towards me, dressed in black and wearing a black gauze hat. Although I couldn't see his face, judging from this outfit, who else could it be but Yin Kanwei.

Zhu Changyang took two steps forward and waved, "Brother Yin, long time no see. I wonder you are also in Gongyu City."

Yin Kanwei was slightly stunned. Before he could speak, a green figure suddenly appeared from behind him and asked in surprise, "Kanwei, is this your friend?"

Zhu Changyang then realized that Yin Kanwei was not alone, but his companion was probably looking at something and was a step behind.

This companion was dressed in green and wore a green gauze hat of the same color on his head. Just by looking at his appearance, one could tell without any introduction that he was in the same group as Yin Kanwei.

Zhu Changyang thought to himself that maybe he was also a demon cultivator, but he didn't ask much. It didn't matter to him what kind of cultivator he was.

Modern people do not discriminate against races.

For some unknown reason, Yin Kanwei hesitated for a moment, and only introduced them to each other after the man in green urged him.

"This is the friend I met in Gupeng Secret Realm who gave me a cake." Yin Kanwei thought for a moment before continuing, "Brothers."

Zhu Changyang: “…?”

It's not like we can't tell you his name, so there's no need to be so mysterious, right

Yin Kanwei pointed at the man in green and said, "This is Brother Jiang. I left the cake you gave me that day to him."

"Nice to meet you." Zhu Changyang clasped his fists and began to understand Yin Kanwei's strange way of introduction.

It seems that Yin Kanwei did not mention the name for him, but his real purpose was to avoid the name of this brother Jiang.

Yin Kanwei was trying to be evasive, but the man in blue clothes surnamed Jiang was very open and generous, saying with a smile: "So you are the one who sent Kanwei the cake. I have heard of you for a long time. The cake is very delicious."

He added, "Kanwei and I have just booked a private room at the teahouse next door. You may as well come along."

Zhu Changyang felt that Yin Kanwei's attitude was questionable, so he was about to decline. At this time, Jun Shu came out with a small plate of cake, digging with a spoon, and complained, "Why did you take so long?"

"Brother Jun." Yin Kanwei clasped his fists and greeted him. He lowered his head slightly and looked at Jun Shu's hand through the gauze curtain. "What is this?"

"It's a cream cake." Jun Shu smiled proudly, "It tastes better than ordinary cakes."

Yin Kanwei was silent for a moment, then turned to Zhu Changyang and said, "If Brother Zhu and Brother Jun don't mind, why don't you come and have a cup of tea together?"

Zhu Changyang: “…”

Yin Kanwei is really kind to his friend.

If he refused at this time, Yin Kanwei would probably think that he was not going to share the cake with them, right

I could only cough lightly and said, "Then let's go together."

.

The teahouse was not far from the inn where Zhu Changyang was staying. Yin Kanwei booked a secret private room and asked the innkeeper to prepare fruits, fragrant tea and other items in advance, obviously not wanting anyone to come in during the stay.

After entering the box, Yin Kanwei and the man in green took off the gauze hats that were covering their faces.

Zhu Changyang's eyes suddenly brightened. People outside thought that this man in green had an elegant figure and a graceful temperament, but they didn't expect that his appearance was even more outstanding.

He has a delicate nose, thin lips, and a complexion like the morning glow. His pair of phoenix eyes are full of heroic spirit and he has a dashing demeanor.

Even in the world of cultivation where beauties are everywhere, this appearance is rare.

Zhu Changyang couldn't help but look at him twice more, then turned back to look at Jun Shu, and was deeply moved.

With two faces appearing in his live broadcast room at the same time, the traffic would definitely soar! So he enthusiastically arranged seats: "Come on, Xiaojun, sit next to Brother Jiang."

Jun Shu was puzzled: "Why?"

Of course, it is to put them in the same frame to facilitate netizens to take screenshots.

"I want to make a cream cake." Zhu Changyang said calmly, "This will leave room for me to work."

The man in green smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for troubling me, brothers."

Jun Shu felt something was odd, but couldn't put his finger on it. Since it was just a matter of a seat, he didn't say anything more.

Studio:

[Damn, Chang Yang understands too much! I took screenshots like crazy!]

[But what is the identity of this handsome man? Why does it seem like the devil brother is reluctant to introduce him? ]

Zhu Changyang took out the cake from his pocket, cut a few pieces and spread cream on them.

There was some milk tea and pearls left, so I took them out. Considering the guests, I also upgraded my equipment.

High-end teahouses have glass cups specially for VIPs. Zhu Changyang borrowed a few, poured the pearl milk tea into the glass cups, and inserted bamboo straws.

After a while, a triangular plate of grape cream cake and a cup of pearl milk tea were placed in front of the other three people.

Studio:

[Here we go again, does Chang Yang dare to make the style of the cultivation world a little weirder?! Such an antique background, three such fairy-like people, such a modern afternoon tea... Let me take another look.][2333 This picture is really weird, I want to take a screenshot and send it to my friends!]

The man in green took a sip of the milk tea and clapped his hands: "It tastes good!"

Zhu Changyang said regretfully, "It's a pity there's no ice. This thing tastes better when it's cold."

"Ice cubes? That's easy." Yin Kanwei poured a glass of water and held it in his hand, concentrating his mind and energy. After a while, a thin layer of cold air floated out of the cup.

He handed the cup to Zhu Changyang, "Okay."

Zhu Changyang took it and saw that the water in the cup had indeed frozen into ice. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Great."

Your cultivation world is still so advanced.

I added ice cubes to the milk tea for the three of them, shook it well, and then they drank it. Sure enough, the flavor was even better.

In this way, several cultivators sat around a table, drinking ice milk tea and eating cream cakes, having a great time.

After finishing afternoon tea quickly, the man in green looked very satisfied. After hesitating for a while, he bowed to Zhu Changyang and said, "Brother Zhu, would you mind telling me how to make this cake and milk tea? I have a few unique pastry recipes that taste very good. If you are willing, I can exchange them with you."

"Don't be so polite." Zhu Changyang said with a smile, "This thing is nothing special. If you want to learn it, just say it."

Then I explained the cake tutorial in detail.

The man in green had not expected Zhu Changyang to be so forthright, and his liking for him increased greatly. He said, "Okay, I'll tell you my recipe, too."

He took out paper and ink, spread them on the table, poured some water into the inkstone, but did not use a pen. With a light wave of his hand, the ink flew up and fell on the paper, turning into lines of handwriting.

After a while, the ink dried. The man in green picked up the paper and handed it to Zhu Changyang: "These two are my favorites. You brothers may want to give them a try."

Zhu Changyang took it and looked at it. There were two recipes written on it.

One dish is called "Apricot Pastry Drink" and the other is called "Plum Blossom Pickled in Honey". Both names are very elegant, followed by the ingredients and cooking methods. Fortunately, the ingredients used are all from the mortal realm, without rare magical herbs and flowers.

"Thank you. I'll try it later." Zhu Changyang carefully folded the prescription and put it away.

The man in green was in a very good mood, so he clapped his hands and said, "To be honest, I met Kanwei today because I got a rare item, and I brought it to him for him to appreciate. It's a rare opportunity to meet the two of you, so it's a good opportunity for us to take a look together."

Yin Kanwei smiled slightly: "My brother Jiang said that this thing is very magical. It can produce wonderful music without any profound magic. You two will have a treat today."

Zhu Changyang felt that the introduction sounded a bit too familiar, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that you bought this thing from Huayan Auction House?"

"Hey, how did you know?" The man in green was a little surprised, and then he suddenly realized, "News about the banquet really spreads very quickly. Did you hear others mention it?"

As he spoke, he took out a bronze trumpet flower attached to a wooden box from the mustard bag and placed it carefully on the table.

"Speaking of which, the person who made this machine is your relative. I don't know if you have heard of him. He is Zhu Changyang, the industrial pioneer who created the spiritual power rice cooker." said the man in green.

The box fell into silence.

Zhu Changyang was speechless and wanted to take out the jade book of Zu Anhua Boyuan immediately.

I don't think this crappy nickname will be associated with him from now on!

Yin Kanwei also had a very strange expression on his face. After a while, he slowly raised his hand, pointed at Zhu Changyang, and said, "He is Zhu Changyang."

Man in green: “…?”

Because the news of the treasure of Dingjing was widely spread, Yin Kanwei did not mention Zhu Changyang's name to anyone to avoid unnecessary trouble. When he talked about it with his friends, he only mentioned it briefly.

Therefore, the man in green really didn’t know that this brother Zhu was Zhu Changyang himself.

After being stunned for a while, the man in blue suddenly came to his senses and looked surprised: "Are you really Master Zhu Changyang?"

"I am." Zhu Changyang was embarrassed, "Don't call me Master, I don't deserve it."

"No, your skill is amazing." The man in green was very excited and said, "That's great. I've been puzzled by the magic of the phonograph. Brothers, please forgive me for being so presumptuous, but can you tell me where the sound in the phonograph comes from? Is it really left by an immortal?"

"How is that possible? Hua Yan was exaggerating." Zhu Changyang laughed. "This music was actually played by a friend of ours. The phonograph just recorded it and played it back."

I briefly talked about the recording process.

"That's actually the case." The man in green was surprised at first, then nodded, "No wonder, although the pipa performance is exquisite and outstanding, the skill is superficial. I thought there was something missing in the lingering sound."

After a moment's thought, he asked again, "I wonder how old your friend is?"

Zhu Changyang said: "Fifteen."

"So young?" The man in green raised his eyebrows. "I wonder if your friend is willing to become a disciple and practice? With such skills at such a young age, he can definitely enter the Yaoyin Pavilion."

When Zhu Changyang heard about Yaoyin Pavilion, he became furious and cursed, "Forget about that shabby place that's full of fraud and bullshit."

His words were very impolite. The man in green jumped up and asked with a strange look on his face, "Why do you say that?"

Zhu Changyang thought his reaction was a little strange, but he was angry and had to speak out, so he told him everything about Raoliang Academy, interspersed with some insults.

Of course, in order to avoid the live broadcast room being blocked, the words he used were very civilized and there were no swear words.

At the end, he snorted again, "I heard that Elder Jiang Hui from Yaoyin Pavilion was on Letianyou, and I was looking forward to it. But now I feel that with such a shabby place, Jiang Hui is probably just so-so."

Upon hearing this, Yin Kanwei and the man in green were both silent, with an awkward expression on their faces.

After a while, the man in green touched his nose and said awkwardly: "To be honest, I am Jiang Hui."

Zhu Changyang: “…???”

Studio:

[??? What kind of development is this? The friend of the demon brother is actually the elder Jiang Hui? Isn't Jiang Hui a righteous person?]

[Damn, no wonder the devil is so secretive! I understand!]

[Eh, could this be... Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang from the cultivation world? ! ! ]

The author has something to say:

Chang Yang: What a coincidence.

Jiang Hui: What a coincidence.

Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang don’t need any explanation, right
