Chapter 1680: Prosperity Cyan Goat

The Prosperity Cyan Goat was the guest warrior of Four Seas Restaurant. A martial arts addict, it was both strong and extremely knowledgeable in all sorts of martial arts. Its insight and horizon were greater than most.

Besides that, the Prosperity Cyan Goat enjoyed competing against others and educating them in the ways of the martial.

Of course, as the guest warrior of the Four Seas Restaurant, the Prosperity Cyan Goat was both important and well-respected. It didn’t usually show itself unless it encountered a warrior that caught its interest.

The arena was called the Four Seas Arena. It was one of the main attractions of the Four Seas Restaurant. Every day, it held a martial arts event for the customers to enjoy.

The customers were also allowed to enter the arena and compete themselves. The winner would obtain a sizable reward.

Some warriors even won a job offer from the restaurant and became a protector or guest warrior of the Four Seas Restaurant. This was a rare and valuable opportunity as it was rumored that the Martial Garrison was backed by the Four Seas Restaurant. Therefore, joining the Four Seas Restaurant was the same as making a connection with the Martial Garrison. With a bit of luck, they might even be spotted by the Martial Garrison and recruited. Therefore, this was definitely a golden opportunity.

Of course, the Grandmaster hadn’t come to get into the Four Seas Restaurant’s graces or join them or the Martial Garrison. At his level, he simply needed to speak up to earn himself a seat of honor in the Four Seas Restaurant. There was no need for him to fight in the arena at all.

The real reason he was fighting was to earn an audience with the Prosperity Cyan Goat. However, he did not want to be restricted by the Four Seas Restaurant and lose his freedom. That was why he resorted to the lousy tactic of attracting the Prosperity Cyan Goat’s attention and interest via showing off his own skills.

To this end, he had fought hundreds of battles for months in the Four Seas Arena. It was worth it though. Finally, he was able to obtain the guidance of the Prosperity Cyan Goat, and it was just as effective as he thought it would be. In just a few sentences, the Prosperity Cyan Goat had hit the nail in the head and pointed out the flaws in his cultivation. All in all, it was worth the time and effort he spent.

“You’re not a disciple of the White Elephant Temple, are you? Your Four-armed Demon Subjugating Vajrapani Body was obtained by accident, right?” The Prosperity Cyan Goat asked.

“An astute deduction, senior. That is correct.”

The warrior saw no reason to lie about this and answered honestly, “It was a reward I received from a senior monk of White Elephant Temple for rescuing him. He had passed it to me moments before his death. Alas, the senior monk’s injuries were so severe that he passed away before he was able to teach me everything.”

“The Four-armed Demon Subjugating Vajrapani Body is just a Grandmaster-stage cultivation art, and I am unwilling to become a monk and conform to its rules and regulations either. So, I had to figure out the latter parts of the art by myself. I am sorry to have put on a shameful display.”

“I see! I thought it might be something like that. If you were a White Horse Temple disciple, you would have known the answer already.”

The Prosperity Cyan Goat nodded once before praising the warrior, “The fact that you still became a Grandmaster despite practicing an incomplete martial art shows how outstanding your talent is. Are you willing to join the Four Seas Restaurant?”

“Thank you for the offer, senior, but—”

The warrior was going to turn it down when the Prosperity Cyan Goat interrupted him, “Let me finish.”

“Do you know that the Four-armed Demon Subjugating Vajrapani Body is followed by the Eight-armed Demon Subjugating Vajrapani Body and the Hundred-armed Demon Subjugating Vajrapani Body? The first one is a Great Grandmaster-stage martial art, and the second a Sage-stage martial art.”

“Although your talent is outstanding enough that you are able to become a Grandmaster by practicing an incomplete martial art, you will have to invest ten times, even dozens of times more time and effort than normal to progress further. It is even harder for you to become a Great Grandmaster or a Half-Sage.”

“But if you join the Four Seas Restaurant, then we can teach you the Eight-armed Demon Subjugating Vajrapani Body immediately. With your talent, it would be all too easy for you to become a Great Grandmaster or a Half-Sage.”

“If it looks like you might progress further, we may even teach you the Hundred-armed Demon Subjugating Vajrapani Body and aid you in becoming a Sage.”

The Prosperity Cyan Goat looked at the warrior and asked calmly, “What do you say?”

“I...”

This time, the warrior hesitated. Although he disliked being restricted, the temptation that was sagehood was too much for him to reject the offer outright.

Around them, the spectators were murmuring in envy and jealousy as well.

“You don’t need to give me an answer immediately. Just think about it. You may find me anytime you want should you choose to accept my offer.”

The Prosperity Cyan Goat said after seeing that the warrior was unable to arrive at a decision.

“Thank you, senior.”

The warrior let out a sigh of relief and thanked the Prosperity Cyan Goat.

“Mm.” The Stranger nodded and took its leave then.

The warrior also left the arena.

Although the two main actors had taken their leave, the warrior had set an example that many others wished to follow. Those hoping to be chosen by the Four Seas Restaurant or make a fame for themselves all wanted to enter the arena. So, as soon as the arena was empty, two warriors immediately took to the stage and dueled each other.

“This Prosperity Cyan Goat is quite the interesting one. Besides incredible martial attainment and insight, its silver tongue is no joke either.”

Ye Qing looked away from the arena and wondered out loud, “I wonder how Lord Xiahou recruited it?”

Sitting by the window and admiring the view of Xijing, Feng Qingyou replied, “It’s the opposite. The Prosperity Cyan Goat was the one who offered itself.”

Ye Qing asked, “What do you mean?”

“It’s what it sounds like.” Feng Qingyou began her explanation, “The Prosperity Cyan Goat is born fortunate. It possesses the instinct to pick the path most auspicious for it.”

“Lord Xiahou is a man of great destiny and fortune. So, the Prosperity Cyan Goat sought him out and joined him of its own accord.”

“Tsk tsk... What a lucky bastard,” Ye Qing said jealously.

Feng Qingyou shook her head wryly. “You’re lucky we’re under the roof. The heavens might be tempted to smite you otherwise.”

Was there anyone in the current world who was as fortunate and destined as Ye Qing?

Ye Qing shrugged. “Eh, let it. My skin can take a lot of punishment.”

“Dear customers, the Wind Flower Snow Moon you ordered has arrived.”

It was at this moment four young women filed into their private room. Each one was carrying a mysterious object in their arms.

One object had a plate carved out of jade. Another was growing out of green wood. A third was wrapped in profound ice. The last object had a basin made out of refined gold.

Gusts of bluish purple wind were blowing inside the jade plate. It kept changing forms between a dragon, a snake, a tiger, a leopard and more.

Strangely, they could smell wisps of profound and wonderful scent from the wind.

Seven flowers were growing out of the green wood. They were colorful, vibrant, and bright. They gave off wafts of mysterious aroma as they swayed.

The profound ice looked like it was hollowed out, and what looked like snowflakes were floating in it. Sparkling and translucent, pure and limpid, the snowflakes bobbed up and down like a dream.

The golden basin was holding a basin of clear water. Incredibly, a moon was floating in it. The moon was clear and flawless, sparkling and pure. It looked like the water had a silver coating.

The four exquisite and refined objects looked like four profound treasures. In reality, they were four dishes.

The four dishes were the signature dishes of the Four Seas Restaurant. It was renowned not just in Xijing, but the entire Wei. There was no one who hadn’t heard about it. They called it the Wind Flower Snow Moon.

The Wind Flower Snow Moon was cooked using four natural profound objects. They were the Hundred-flavored Wind, Seven Ultimate Flowers, Snow of Dreams and Phantom Moon.
