I Turn Out to Be a Grand Master
chapter-22

Daoist Master Zhu Zhao himself was well aware of just how strong this Yin Mountain Brew was.

The wine was brewed from the spirit fruits on the hundreds of peaks of Mount Taiyin. Every drop of the wine contained a large amount of spiritual essence and alcohol strength. Not to mention mortals, even Dharma Idol cultivators would be drunk for a long time.

For an expert like Senior Liu to not change his expression even after taking a sip, it showed that Senior Liu's cultivation level was truly formidable.

"Plop..."

Liu Changgong saw that the small animals on the ground were all drunk, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but laugh involuntarily.

He said to Zhu Zhao and Huang Ze, "It seems that this roast meat can only be enjoyed by us."

Then, the three of them ate the roast meat on the table, one mouthful of wine and one mouthful of meat.

Before the roast meat entered their mouths, Huang Ze and Zhu Zhao had already smelled the alluring fragrance. This was even more amazing!

In the roast meat, Liu Changgong put in all kinds of spices that he had been rewarded with when he had mastered his culinary skills. Most of these spices were not available in this world, especially the chili. It simply opened up a new world for the two of them.

Spicy!

It was as if their mouths were on fire!

The rich fire element and the wood element law were perfectly combined. Although the cultivation techniques that the two of them practiced did not have such a law, the unique taste of the chili made the two of them unable to put it down.

"Hiss--" The two of them sucked in a breath of cold air because of the spicy food, but they still did not stop the chopsticks in their hands. They kept picking at it.

Seeing that the two old men were almost unable to stand the spiciness, Liu Changgong couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. He originally wanted to remind them to eat less because of the spiciness. If they ate too much at once, they would have diarrhea and a pain in their buttocks the next day.

However, when he thought that the two of them were cultivators, he didn't say anything. Who knew that because he didn't remind them, the buttocks of the two great cultivators, Huang Ze and Zhu Zhao, were in pain for several days?

Seeing that the food on the table was almost finished, Huang Ze had almost finished eating.

Huang Ze began to look like he had something on his mind.

Senior Liu, a great cultivator, was in front of him. With just a casual drawing, a dying person like Zhu Zhao had broken through to Dharma Idol. How could Huang Ze let go of such an opportunity?

Ever since he returned that day, he had been thinking hard. Finally, he thought of a gift that could be taken out.

The gift was in his storage bracelet, but now he didn't know how to open his mouth.

After all, such a thing might be very precious in his eyes, but in the eyes of his senior, it might not necessarily be so. Perhaps he wouldn't even look at it. Moreover, things like giving pointers on cultivation also depended on his senior's mood.

Huang Ze's hesitation was seen by Zhu Zhao.

He knew a little about what his old friend was thinking. Moreover, he was the one who asked him to come to the banquet today. Otherwise, he would not know how to face his senior.

Moreover, his breakthrough was much better than his. Now, he even regarded the breakthrough as his own demonic barrier. If he did not push it, it would be a waste of his friend's friendship to give him the longevity pill.

"En--"

Zhu Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "To tell you the truth, Sir, this time, this friend of mine has something to ask of you."

After saying that, Zhu Zhao let go of the matter in his heart. "After hundreds of years of friendship, don't say that I'm not a friend. This time, I'm going all out. Even if Senior hates me, I'll accept it."

"Oh?! Just say what you want!"

Liu Changgong did not stop using the chopsticks in his hands as he replied casually. Anyway, he could not solve a matter too difficult by himself.

On the other hand, when Huang Ze saw Zhu Zhao speak up for him, he was a little surprised. However, his eyes quickly revealed a grateful expression.

Zhu Zhao gritted his teeth. He was a good person to the end. He braced himself and continued, "Didn't Sir give that junior, Yu Linglong, a 'sun rises and the mountain shadows' that day? Later, this painting coincidentally fell into my hands...

"My old friend is a person who likes paintings. Senior's calligraphy and painting skills are outstanding. After he saw my painting, he loved it very much. He wanted to have one as well, so today, he also wants to try his hand again to get a painting."

After saying this, Zhu Zhao and Huang Ze lowered their heads. They were even more uneasy and looked like they were ready to be beaten and scolded. After all, it was a little inappropriate to ask for opportunities so directly.

They were even more afraid that not only would Liu Changgong not agree, but he would also fly into a rage and ask them to leave.

Even... The scene of them being unable to get up from the strange phenomenon that day was still vivid in their minds.

Tick-tock -- Tick-tock -- Tick-tock --

Seconds and minutes passed. Although it was only a short moment, Huang Ze and Zhu Zhao felt as if their days were like years. Sweat started to appear on their backs and foreheads.

After Liu Changgong heard their request, he was clearly stunned for a moment.

Then, he couldn't help but smile. He thought that they were going to do something!

So it was to ask for a painting! A painting was a small matter!

He shook his head slightly. He felt that the two of them were making a mountain out of a molehill. They actually made such a big fuss over a painting.

Seeing Liu Changgong shake his head, Zhu Zhao and Huang Ze's hearts couldn't help but sink.

It was over. It seemed that not only were there no more paintings, they would even anger their senior. This time...

Just as the two of them were feeling dejected, they heard it...

"I thought it was something big, but it turned out that it was just for a painting. This matter is simple. Old Sir, just tell me what kind of painting you like. I don't dare to say anything else, but painting, you can have whatever kind you want!"

"En! En?" The two people, who were ready to leave in disappointment, forcefully changed their words when they heard this.

The ups and downs of life were nothing more than this!

The two people raised their heads and looked at each other in surprise.

"Thank you, Senior!"

"Thank... Thank... Thank you, Senior!"

Huang Ze was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly.

Liu Changgong said lightly, "It's nothing. You don't have to thank me."

He turned to Huang Ze and asked, "What kind of painting do you like, Sir? Whether it's a towering mountain, a small bridge, flowing water, or plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum, I'm proficient in everything!"

Although both of them were surprised that Liu Changgong knew so much, they still quickly said, "My good friend likes water the most in his life. Whether it's love water, heartless water, or even the rain in the sky, he likes it very much."

The cultivation method of the sect where the Huang Ze was located leaned towards the water cultivation method. They also practiced the Dharma Idol of the Dragon King, and the Great Dao they comprehended were all related to water.

"Water? Water is good! Goodness is like water!" Liu Changgong pondered for a while and soon remembered the words of his previous life.

"Goodness is like water? Goodness is like water... Goodness is like water!"
