Who asked him to cultivate immortality!
Chapter 829: Competition of Wealth
Although it was not very polite, Lu Yang sincerely felt that Grandpa Meng's cultural level might not be much higher than Man Gu's.
They might even be on par with each other.
"Then Meng Poci and Meng Poli... forget it, I won't ask." Lu Yang felt that they were elders after all, so there was no need to ask about such rude things, lest Old Meng leak too much secrets and the Meng family kick him out of the Meng Mansion.
"What is that place?" Lu Yang pointed to a room full of restrictions, and there were elders of the Meng family guarding the door, like a forbidden area.
"The place where IOUs are stored."
"My father told me that if all those IOUs were cashed, they could buy half of the Imperial City."
Lu Yang took a breath, no wonder it was a forbidden area, it would not be too much to send as many people as possible to guard this place.
"It's not just the IOU. Our Meng family has a magical power called 'borrowing method'. When a cultivator above the fusion level asks us to borrow money, he not only has to leave an IOU, but also lend us one of his moves."
"Our family will print this move on paper. If we encounter a battle, we can reproduce that person's move."
"So powerful." It is probably the unique magical power of the Meng family. Lu Yang has never heard of anyone else knowing this.
Even the Immortal Fairy shook her head and said she had never heard of it.
...
Meng Potian, Lao Ma, and the butler Xu You gathered together. The three brothers had not gathered together for nearly six years. They had a drink in the side room.
Lao Ma lay lazily on the wooden chair, using magic to bring the green grass on the plate to his mouth. The horse's hoof stuck to the wine glass and drank it sip by sip.
"Lao Ma has worked hard to take care of Xiaozhou along the way."
Lao Ma wanted to be polite and say that it was not hard, but thinking of the six years of fearful experience, he couldn't smile casually and say the three words "not hard".
"It's not hard, it's hard life."
Meng Potian: "..."
He remembered that Lao Ma used to be very modest, how come he became like this after being the protector of his son.
"What do you think of Lu Yang?" Meng Potian had a good impression of Lu Yang. He had seen many young talents, but no one could compare to Lu Yang in terms of cultivation or character.
If Lu Yang and Xiaoyu could fall in love, marrying into the family would not be a joke.
Lao Ma's eyes twitched, and bad memories came to his mind. He suddenly remembered the scene where Lu Yang accidentally resurrected the immortal fairy.
"That's what I said. Your Meng family's IOU can buy half of the imperial city, right?"
"Yes."
"His luck can destroy half of the imperial city."
...
"Would you like to eat something delicious?" Meng Jingzhou asked.
Lu Yang was puzzled: "Didn't we eat it during the welcoming party? I think it tasted good."
"Those are not the best. Those spiritual foods pursue both taste and effect, but you can't have both, so they are a little bit inferior to the real delicacies. I'm taking you to the best place in the Imperial City." After all, the Imperial City is his territory, and Meng Jingzhou has to do his best to be a host.
"Then let's go." Lu Yang smiled. He remembered that the eldest sister liked to taste the local food every time she went to a place. If it was really as delicious as Meng Jingzhou boasted, she could take a portion away when she left the Imperial City.
Considering Meng Jingzhou's great reputation in the Imperial City, everyone in the Imperial City knew him. When the two left the Meng Mansion, they consciously put on masks.
The place Meng Jingzhou mentioned was called Tianxiang Tower, which was the most luxurious restaurant in the Imperial City. There were even rumors that Tianxiang Tower had a spiritual chef in the Tribulation Period, but that spiritual chef had not made a move for decades.
Tianxianglou was packed with people. Fortunately, Lu Yang and his partner were not the last to arrive. When they arrived, there were still three empty tables left.
When they sat down and ordered the dishes, the two empty tables were already occupied.
"It's really delicious." After the dishes were served, Lu Yang picked up a chopstick to taste it. Old Meng really didn't lie. It was better than what he ate in Meng's house.
"Of course, how can my taste be low?" Meng Jingzhou was very proud and couldn't wait to eat.
He hadn't eaten it for five or six years.
Perhaps because of the repulsion of colleagues, the Immortal Fairy was disdainful of the food in Tianxianglou.
While Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were eating and discussing the next step, they noticed that there was a little commotion at the entrance of the restaurant and couldn't help but turn their heads to look over.
A young man in black clothes and extraordinary demeanor walked in with his female companion. In public, he didn't care about the impact at all. There were two guards behind the young man.
Lu Yang noticed that the black clothes the young man wore were woven with dark gold silk spit out by the iceberg silkworm. They were impervious to water and fire, and invulnerable to swords and guns. They were extremely rare.
Even in the imperial city where officials' children were everywhere, it was rare to find people who were qualified to wear such clothes.
"No place?" The young man frowned. There were too many people in the restaurant, and there was not even an empty table.
He walked straight to one of the tables and looked down at the guests at one of the tables.
"This place is occupied by this young master. You guys go away."
The guests at that table seemed to see that the young man was not easy to mess with, and hurriedly bowed their heads and said yes, giving up their seats.
The young man saw Meng Jingzhou's relatively simple dishes and sneered: "Poor ghosts don't come here."
Then he waved again: "Waiter, bring a pot of 100-year-old fairy wine!"
The diners were shocked when they heard the young man's casual tone.
A pot of ordinary fairy wine is the annual income of a small family in the imperial city. If it is a 100-year-old fairy wine, its value is unimaginable.
Even though the people who come to the restaurant are either rich or noble, only a few can afford to order the Hundred-Year-Old Immortal Drunk.
The female companion saw the young man's boldness, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she stuck closer to him, even deliberately rubbing her chest against the young man's arm.
Meng Jingzhou snorted coldly, he had never seen anyone show off his wealth in front of him.
As for showing off the female companion, that was even more excessive.
He immediately called the waiter: "Bring me a pot of Hundred-Year Immortal Drunk."
The young man seemed not to have heard what Meng Jingzhou said and continued to order dishes: "I want steamed spiritual fish with mist, a ten-year supply. If you are one year short, I will overturn your restaurant!"
Meng Jingzhou ordered dishes in a serious manner, not even looking at the price: "Waiter, give me a portion of steamed spiritual fish with mist, a ten-year supply."
The young man glanced at Meng Jingzhou, a stranger, and thought he was just a cultivator from outside the city looking for a way out. He sneered and picked out the expensive ones: "Boiled Five Elements Spiritual Vegetables, Braised Crying Sun Chicken, Taiqing Refining Soul Porridge..."
"We also want boiled five elements spiritual vegetables, braised Crying Sun Chicken, Taiqing Refining Soul Porridge..."
Meng Jingzhou didn't want to order these at first. Although these were tonic foods, they didn't taste as good as what he ordered at the beginning, but he didn't mind playing with this young man.
Meng Jingzhou followed suit and ordered whatever the young man ordered, without any retreat. The young man no longer had the unique feeling of looking down on everyone else, and felt that he had lost face in front of his female companion.
He slammed the table: "Waiter, let me ask you, what is the most expensive thing here!"
The waiter hesitated for a moment and said cautiously:
"To answer the guest, the rent here is the most expensive."
