The legend of cultivation tea exists not only in China but also in various countries worldwide, though no one has ever seen it.
Li Mingxi is a master of Ming Jin. Although a Ming Jin master is insignificant in the face of ancient martial arts cultivators, they are still a formidable warrior in real life.
In front of Inoue Shoichi and Yoshida Hideo, Cheng Xiaofan intentionally wanted to help Li Mingxi break through to become a Dark Jin master. For a cultivator to reach the Dark Jin realm is to become a cornerstone of the martial arts world, a foundational figure in the middle tier.
"Ah, I feel like I'm about to break through!" As soon as she finished drinking a cup of tea, Li Mingxi exclaimed in surprise. The transition from Ming Jin to Dark Jin might not involve a huge burst of power, but breaking through indoors could still be enough to lift the roof.
Cheng Xiaofan tossed her a set of blue casual clothes and said, "Beautiful lady, go break through in the woods next to my yard!" "After you break through, there's a pond ahead. You can clean yourself up downstream from the pond!" After all, the pond was home to premium lobsters and sea fish, and he worried that Li Mingxi's filth would kill the fish and shrimp.
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng!" Li Mingxi excitedly took the clothes and rushed out.
Boom! In an instant, a breakthrough sound came from outside. Inoue Shoichi and Yoshida Hideo exchanged glances, their hearts involuntarily racing. This was truly cultivation tea. They had encountered the legendary cultivation tea here!
At this moment, Inoue Shoichi secretly signaled to Yoshida Hideo. Yoshida Hideo, understanding the hint, nodded and quickly stepped forward. Following the old Chinese martial arts etiquette, he bowed to Cheng Xiaofan, then bowed deeply, and said with a smile, "Mr. Cheng, is your Golden Tea for sale?"
Hearing this, Lu Shengming couldn't help but be taken aback. Weren't you here to demand an explanation from Cheng Xiaofan? Were you no longer going to pursue the disappearance of the twelve research personnel and instead wanted to buy tea?
"My Golden Tea is not for sale!" Cheng Xiaofan said resolutely, giving Yoshida Hideo no face at all.
Yoshida Hideo hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Could you make an exception and sell two bags of Golden Tea to Mr. Inoue and me?"
"I'm sorry, I don't sell it!" Cheng Xiaofan flatly refused.
"Cheng Xiaofan, you're going too far!" At this moment, Lu Shengming was anxious and roared, "How can you say such a thing in front of our two foreign friends?" "Not to mention selling it, you should even give them two bags of Golden Tea!" For Lu Shengming, the most urgent matter was to prevent the two officials from Sakura Country from bringing up the disappearance of the research team again. After all, this involved major international repercussions.
Unexpectedly, before Cheng Xiaofan could speak, Inoue Shoichi eagerly interjected, "Mr. Lu, that's not quite right. This Golden Tea is extremely rare, and Mr. Cheng must have put a lot of effort into making it. How could such tea be given away for free!" "No matter how high the price Mr. Cheng asks, we are willing to buy it!"
What a joke, this was cultivation tea! What research team! What Vice Sect Master Gong Jiantian Ye! What twelve lives from the Blood Demon Sect! In the face of the legendary cultivation tea, all of that could go to hell! In Inoue Shoichi's eyes, with the boost of this cultivation tea, he could elevate the Blood Demon Sect's techniques to the eighth or ninth realm, and then dealing with Cheng Xiaofan would be as easy as pie. No matter how high a price Cheng Xiaofan set, as long as he was willing to sell it. After all, the Golden Tea was in his hands, and they couldn't simply snatch it.
"Mr. Cheng, in fact, I am very aware that you are very angry about our sudden arrival," Inoue Shoichi said with a sincere smile. "Perhaps we misunderstood. The disappearance of the Sakura Country research team has nothing to do with you at all." "Therefore, I offer you my sincere apologies here!"
Hearing his words, Lu Shengming was stunned. This Inoue Shoichi was a completely different person from how he behaved at the office! Didn't he say they had already gathered some evidence that the research team of twelve people was killed by Cheng Xiaofan? This sudden turn of events made Lu Shengming's mind struggle to catch up.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and pointed to two broken stools on the floor. "First, you compensate me for these two stools, and then we can talk about buying Golden Tea!"
"Cheng Xiaofan, you've gone too far!" Lu Shengming roared, furious.
Inoue Shoichi, hearing this, knew there was a chance to buy cultivation tea. He was greatly displeased by Lu Shengming's reprimand of Cheng Xiaofan and said, "Mr. Lu, this is a matter between Mr. Cheng and me. Please stand aside and don't interrupt, alright?" "Otherwise, be careful, I'll report you to the relevant authorities!"
Lu Shengming thought to himself, this is a case of the dog biting the benevolent host, not recognizing kindness! Fine, do as you please! He refilled the tea that Li Mingxi had drunk and took a sip, exclaiming, "How fragrant!" He couldn't bring himself to ask Cheng Xiaofan to make him a fresh cup.
At this moment, Inoue Shoichi smiled again and cautiously asked Cheng Xiaofan, "Cheng Xiaofan, tell me, how much do these two stools cost? We'll convert it to Chinese currency and pay you!"
Cheng Xiaofan held up two fingers and said, "One million per stool, so for two stools, you can symbolically pay me two million!" Hearing this, Lu Shengming was so angry he almost jumped up again. These two broken stools, and he was demanding two million from foreign friends? Weren't you just going to rob people on the street? However, before he could voice his anger, he saw Inoue Shoichi laugh heartily and say, "Mr. Cheng, you're straightforward. Please give me your bank account number, and I'll immediately have my staff transfer two million to your account."
Lu Shengming was once again dumbfounded! Am I encountering an idiot today? And this idiot is even smiling broadly after being fleeced by Cheng Xiaofan. Forget it! Since I can't understand what's going on, I'll just drink the Golden Tea that others left behind!
While Lu Shengming was engrossed in savoring the leftover Golden Tea from Li Mingxi, the people Inoue Shoichi had instructed had already transferred two million Chinese Yuan to Cheng Xiaofan's bank account. Cheng Xiaofan then took out two brown paper bags from a cloth bag under the coffee table and placed them on the table, saying, "Here are two pounds of Golden Tea. I won't ask for too high a price. I'll give it to you at the lowest price as a gift: two hundred billion!"
"Whoosh!" Lu Shengming almost choked on his tea and let out a yelp. Two bags of tea for two million, and you call it a gift? Has this kid gone crazy?
"Good, the price of two hundred billion is indeed not high. I'll have someone transfer the funds to you right away!" Inoue Shoichi said, grinning as if he had found a treasure.
Lu Shengming finally understood. Today, a madman had met an idiot. The madman quoted an exorbitant price, and the idiot paid without hesitation! This was a classic case of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one willing to hit, the other willing to be hit! Fine! As long as they were both happy, that was all that mattered!
