Chapter 171 Inheritance! The Chicken Farmer and the Melon Grower!
Chapter 171 Inheritance! The Chicken Farmer and the Melon Grower!
Is this all that Li Hao, the shopkeeper, has to offer?
Zhu Ge looked over curiously.
These three shelves are not all bookshelves; one of them is a shelf with some items that have spiritual energy fluctuations on it.
It contains elixirs, medicines, utensils, clothing, and more.
On either side of this shelf are two bookshelves.
Zhu Ge stepped forward; on the left-hand bookshelf were martial arts and immortal cultivation techniques.
The books on the right-hand bookshelf are the secret manuals for four professions: chef, food preparer, chicken farmer, and melon farmer.
The items weren't arranged very densely, making the shelves appear empty.
"Immortal cultivation techniques?"
Zhu Ge was quite interested in this immortal cultivation technique, and also curious about the secret manuals for the four professions: "Also, the chef is only one, there are also vegetable preparers, chicken farmers, and melon farmers?"
Previously, when Zhu Ge bought books at Zhu Family Bookstore, they did not sell any classic texts or cultivation techniques.
This is Zhu Ge's first time reading other classic texts, and it has broadened her horizons.
"You know the cook, right? The kitchen helper is similar to the cook. They can do almost anything except prepare spiritual meals, including grocery shopping."
"Moreover, the side dish handlers do a better job than the chefs, since the spiritual energy of ordinary spiritual creatures tends to dissipate."
"For example, if you pick a spirit-level peppercorn, its spiritual energy will quickly dissipate and turn into an ordinary thing if it is not preserved using special methods. This is why the kitchen helper needs to seal it in."
"Moreover, the food preparation servants not only seal up fruits and vegetables, but also monsters."
"I once saw a master butcher who could turn a bovine monster into countless pieces of meat with just one cut, and not a drop of blood was ever shed from any of them."
"The same principle applies to killing cattle and killing people."
A look of reminiscence appeared in Li Hao's eyes, and he held that butcher in high esteem.
Zhu Ge nodded slightly upon hearing this and asked, "These cultivation techniques can all be traded?"
He promised Li Hao that he would give her priority in supplying her with monster meat in the future, which is how he got this trading opportunity.
If possible, he would certainly like to trade more cultivation techniques to enrich the Six Paths Palace's foundation.
"Whatever." Li Hao waved his hand, looking completely unconcerned. "Through this experience, I've also realized that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken. Jianshui City hasn't even fallen yet, and there are already cries of agony everywhere. If the city falls? By then, I'll have already been carried off by the monsters."
"Rather than die with these things, I'd rather trade them for something useful to save my life, and besides—"
Li Hao looked at Zhu Ge with a smile: "And I believe that Young Master Zhu owes me a favor and will protect me in the future, right?"
""
Zhu Ge glanced sideways at Li Hao.
This woman is truly remarkable.
Although she said these things, there was still a trace of reluctance deep in her eyes.
But why would you be willing to befriend Zhu Ge?
Zhu Ge didn't believe in anything else. He guessed that Li Hao's overtures were entirely due to his strength and unfounded speculations about his background.
This is not a gesture of goodwill toward him personally, but rather an expression of goodwill toward his abilities, potential, and fabricated background.
However, although Zhu Ge understood this, she would not reject such a gesture of goodwill.
Favor?
So be it.
With so many secret techniques, he could give a large portion of his men new options.
If martial arts are not enough, then cultivate the path of immortality!
If you can't be a seamstress, be a cook; if you can't be a cook, be a side dish helper!
In short, having more options is always better!
"I want them all." Zhu Ge glanced at the manuals and, without even carefully examining them, said, "I won't try to cheat you with silver or copper coins. How much gold do you want?"
"Money?" Li Hao's eyes immediately softened with desire as she moved closer. "I don't want money. All I want is for Young Master Zhu to leave me with a kind of—"
"That's easy, right here?" Zhu Ge stood up without blushing or skipping a beat and hugged Li Hao.
Seeing this, a hint of panic flashed in Li Hao's eyes. He gently pushed Zhu Ge, but couldn't push her away.
However, she noticed the smile on Zhu Ge's lips, so she pouted almost imperceptibly and moved closer to him: "If Young Master Zhu is willing, this entire Tongfu Grand Restaurant belongs to Young Master Zhu—"
As Li Hao pressed himself against Zhu Ge's body, feeling Zhu Ge's surging blood and bulging muscles, he felt his body go limp.
However, the next moment, Zhu Ge gently squeezed Li Hao's waist with her hand, and then pushed Li Hao away.
Li Hao felt a numbness all over his body and almost groaned, but in the next instant he was pushed out and quickly used his blood energy to stabilize his body.
"Your approach won't work on me," Zhu Ge laughed. "Let's just do a straightforward transaction."
It's easy to guess that Li Hao used to use this method to lure people who wanted to do business with him.
Perhaps if she opens her cherry-like mouth and speaks sweetly, exhaling a fragrant breeze as she gets closer, she can extract more benefits from the trader.
No wonder the Lord of Jianshui City never publicly announced that he had a daughter at the second realm.
I imagine the city lord of Jianshui must be furious that his daughter is always showing her face in public.
"You're such a blockhead—no, wait." Li Hao rolled her eyes at Zhu Ge: "No, you're not a blockhead, you're a cunning wolf."
Real wood is usually associated with unromantic scholars and farmers.
Zhu Ge's demeanor just now clearly showed that he was well-versed in this art, yet he knew how to restrain himself.
It's too difficult to exploit such a person through their looks, words, and that kind of ambiguous, subtle provocation.
Li Hao said helplessly, "Young Master Zhu, I've gotten used to it. Living in the mortal world for so long, my looks and my charm can become my tools. If Young Master Zhu is disgusted, I will naturally restrain myself in the future."
Zhu Ge cupped his hands in respect: "It is truly remarkable that Manager Li was able to carve out a path among so many powerful individuals. I admire him greatly."
Li Hao smiled again and then went to his three shelves.
"Your Six Paths Palace is newly established and located outside the city. You must have a kitchen and kitchen staff. Killing monsters in the way you did before is simply a waste."
Li Hao took down the two books: "These two books, 'Bamboo Garden Cookbook' and 'Complete Collection of Twelve Flavors,' are the cultivation techniques for a chef and a kitchen helper, respectively. One is a high-grade spiritual level, and the other is a low-grade spiritual level."
The "Spiritual Grade Superior" level means that the "Bamboo Garden Cookbook" technique can enable a person to become a Spiritual Grade Superior chef.
Of course, this is not 100%.
Just as mastering a math book can lead to a perfect score on a math test, different talents and aptitudes will result in different achievements.
But at the very least, the value of this "Bamboo Garden Recipe" is far greater than that of high-grade spirit-level pills and utensils.
One cultivation manual is worth ten pills and equipment of the same level!
"As for chicken farmers and melon farmers, to be honest, you need both of these professions." Li Hao then took out two more books from another shelf: "These two books, the low-grade Spirit-level 'Miscellaneous Records of the White Jade Black Chicken' and the low-grade Spirit-level 'Records of the Melon Field,' will give your Six Paths Palace two more special products."
"These books are all rubbings; I'll give you a 20% discount, how about it?"
