Chapter 1182
“You couldn’t have been driven out just because of this last time, right?” Long Chen looked at Xia You Luo and said with a strange expression.
"Isn’t that so? I was just complaining a little. Say, aren’t they stingy? " Xia Youluo said in a low voice like a thief.
"Actually, you misunderstood them. Entering this place is a rare experience, and hard to come by with money.
This is a kind gesture from the Wine God Palace. Yet, you treat their kindness as a hindrance. This in itself misrepresents their good intentions, so it is only right for them to be angry.
“Think about it, if you give snacks to those hungry people, but they have never seen snacks before, they think it’s a pile of cow dung, and then they call you deliberately insulting them, would you be angry?” Long Chen said.
“You’re right, but the metaphor is disgusting. Can’t you use a more elegant metaphor?” Xia Youluo said as she stared at Long Chen.
"I am a mortal myself, why should I pretend to be elegant?" Long Chen shook his head.
“But I’m a woman, can’t you just restrain yourself a bit?” Xia Youluo said angrily.
"You are a woman? I just treated you like a little girl. Alright, let’s go. " After Long Chen finished speaking, he continued to walk forwards.
“Hey, wait for me, pull me a bit, or else I’ll fall again.” Seeing Long Chen ignore her and walk forward by himself, Xia Youluo couldn’t help but call out to him.
“Men and women shouldn’t be too intimate with each other. It’s not convenient for me to pull you along. You should slowly walk away.” Long Chen refused to extend his hand.
"Are you a man? I just treated you as an uncle, what’s wrong with pulling me over? " Xia Youluo used Long Chen’s words to retaliate against Long Chen while extending her hand at the same time.
Long Chen was happy. This little girl was great. She could use her spear to attack his shield so quickly.
Long Chen extended his hand to grab Xia Youluo’s small hand. Long Chen could clearly feel it. Her small hand trembled slightly as a crimson flush appeared on her face.
Being grabbed by Long Chen’s big hand, Xia Youluo’s heart couldn’t help but beat wildly. Long Chen was the first person she had come into contact with and couldn’t help feeling a little nervous. However, in order to show her bravery, she displayed an indifferent expression.
Long Chen couldn’t help but find it funny. He pulled her along as they slowly walked on. “Actually, this part of the journey is a kind of cultivation.”
"Cultivation?" Xia Youluo stared in shock.
"Mm, it’s a cultivation of the heart. When you lose all of your dependencies, everything will return to its primal state. This is a cultivation that refines the heart.
You are still too young and you have experienced too little. In your eyes, mud is dirty, so you don’t want to touch it.
However, have you forgotten that everything on the ground is born from the soil? What you eat comes from the soil, and touching the Spirit Fruit is cleanliness? Touch the earth with your shoes and you will find it filthy. Isn’t that ridiculous?
Besides, the elegance and vulgarity that you mentioned before was built on vulgarity. When people can’t eat enough and their lives can’t be guaranteed, they only think about survival.
Only when a person’s survival was guaranteed would they be able to pursue something spiritual. However, for many people, the pursuit of something spiritual would mean that they had forgotten the essence of many things.
The formation here makes us lose all ability to rely on and return to the origin, allowing us to clearly see the essence of life.
Cultivation does not only depend on one’s cultivation and talent, but also one’s perception. One cannot even see one’s own life clearly. One is just a frog in the well; one cannot reach the peak of martial arts after all. " Long Chen pulled Xia Youluo along as he walked. After all, she was Xia Yunchong’s younger sister, so Long Chen kindly reminded her.
"Pa Pa Pa!"
The two of them had unknowingly arrived in front of a small building. In front of the building was a thirty year old middle-aged man wearing white clothes.
"Your distinguished guest, such a high level of comprehension, truly impressed me. There is a thin layer of wine in the room, I hope your esteemed guest will be pleased to enjoy it."
"You … Inviting us to a taste of wine, is this for real? “Aiya!” Xia You Luo looked at the man and said excitedly. In her excitement, she almost fell down again. Luckily, she was pulled by Long Chen and didn’t embarrass herself.
The man faintly smiled and said in a gentle voice: “As long as you don’t say anything to desecrate the Wine God, how would I dare to expel you esteemed guest?”
As Long Chen listened to the conversation between the two, he finally understood. Xia You Luo had been chased out by the man in front of him that time.
Walking along the path, this was the first building. In other words, the last time Xia Youluo didn’t even drink a single mouthful of wine and was already chased away. Moreover, she had to be scolded when she returned.
“It won’t, it won’t, it won’t ever happen again. I won’t say anything else.” Xia You Luo said excitedly.
"Please come in!"
The man smiled and made a welcoming gesture. Long Chen cupped his hands and entered the small building.
The interior was not very large, only about three meters square. There was a table on the ground and a jug of wine and a few wine cups on the table. It was very simple and quiet.
"Please take a seat. This is a wine I brewed. Please have a taste." The middle-aged man took out a white handkerchief and carefully wiped his hands.
He took out two delicate jade bowls. They were amber in color and about an inch in diameter. He placed them on the table and reached out to pick up a small wine jar that was only a size bigger than a fist.
When the wine entered the jade bowl, it actually turned pink. The fragrance rushed into his nose and penetrated his heart. Xia Youluo couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.
It must be known that every disciple of the Palace had their own special brew. This wine was not supplied to the outside world. In other words, only those who were invited had the right to taste it.
Although the royal wine of the Grand Xia Empire was also from the Palace, compared to these disciples of the Palace, their own specialties were on two completely different levels.
"Please!"
He put the small wine bowl in his hands and placed it next to his lips. After taking a whiff of it, he slightly opened his cherry lips, took a sip, and then took three sips. According to the ratio, the wine in the jade bowl was finished.
Long Chen gave a faint smile and picked up the jade bowl, gulping it down in one gulp. He felt as if a clear spring had rushed into his stomach, instantly spreading to his limbs and bones like a hot spring. It was indescribably comfortable.
“What a good wine, I’ve never tasted such a good wine before.” Xia Youluo couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, her charming face full of pleasant surprise.
"Thank you for your praise. May I ask what is so good about you?" the man asked.
"This …"
Xia You Luo was speechless. Although she knew a little about tasting wine, that was the basic etiquette of the royal family. However, she didn’t understand anything about tasting wine.
She hated herself for being so talkative, and now that she was questioned, she became speechless. This was embarrassing, but she was very smart. She rolled her eyes, pursed her lips into a smile and said, “My brother is a wine tasting master. He will give you a satisfactory answer. I won’t embarrass him anymore!”
Not calling him Uncle anymore? Feelings about your family’s seniority, or change according to the mood?
"Big brother Long Chen, say something!" Xia You Luo pushed Long Chen as he stared at her dumbstruck.
Alright, this little girl is getting smarter and smarter, she actually knows how to cheat. Not bad, her improvement is fast, following me, Long Chen, and constantly growing up. It seems like she has to charge Xia Yun as tuition.
But when he saw the man looking at him, Long Chen opened his mouth and said, "It’s good that you infused your mind with this wine during the process of brewing. With your soul power, you removed all the impurities within it, making this wine extremely pure.
Furthermore, during the fermentation phase, your esteemed self will receive Heaven’s Path comprehension, allowing the wine to fuse with your emotions and the power of fire to fuse with it.
It could be said that the wine was flawless and unsullied, and its power was even and unbroken.
“In the end, it was actually able to turn the tide and pour the power of enlightenment within the wine into the person’s heart. That’s why it is truly a good wine.”
Seeing Long Chen speak so confidently, Xia You Luo Mei’s eyes were filled with shock. She had originally prepared to be chased out together with Long Chen.
She never would have thought that Long Chen would actually be able to say such astonishing words. Furthermore, each and every word of his was extremely valuable, causing people to ponder deeply over it.
After thinking about it, she felt that it was exactly as Long Chen had said. She couldn’t help but admire him in her heart. She had always thought that Long Chen was only a fellow who spoke vulgarly.
However, Long Chen had a very strange feeling about him. He had always been attractive to her, and felt that there were many things hidden within Long Chen’s body that aroused her curiosity.
At this moment, Long Chen’s comments had completely shocked her. More importantly, she saw that the man’s face was similarly shocked.
"Esteemed guest, you truly are a strange person. You actually told me all the characteristics of this wine. Truly admirable." That person said with a look of admiration.
“I dare not say so. I’m also a drinker. I’m also a pill Cultivator, so it’s no surprise that I’ll be able to learn a few clues from the details.” Long Chen said with a smile.
"You are skilled in the Way of Pills?" The middle-aged man was shocked.
"I do." Long Chen smiled.
"Esteemed customer, do you have any pointers for my wine?" The middle-aged man said with a sincere expression.
Xia Youluo’s eyes were also wide open as she looked at Long Chen. She couldn’t understand him at all.
“I don’t dare to give me any pointers, but this wine has a fatal weakness. For the rest of your life, you will never be able to achieve the right path.” Long Chen said as he looked at the man.
Long Chen’s words immediately caused Xia Youluo’s expression to change. When she looked at the man, his expression also changed.
"Esteemed guest, please give me some pointers. What are the fatal weaknesses of my wine?" The middle-aged man took a deep breath, trying his best to keep his voice calm. However, Xia You Luo could already hear the trembling in his voice. It was clear that he was angry.
The disciples of the Wine God Palace treated their wine as their most sacred existence and absolutely wouldn’t allow others to desecrate it. Long Chen actually said that his wine had a fatal weakness, and more importantly, pointing out that it was difficult for him to achieve the righteous path was not only an insult to his wine, but also an insult to his people.
Xia You Luo anxiously stood up, but Long Chen still sat there with a smile on his face.
Note: Some people have messed up their realms. Old Devil, please mark them out: Xuan Core realm (king level expert), Deity Stage (courtyard lord level expert), Fate Star Realm (master level expert).
Chapter 1183 Deceiving
"Truly worthy of being a disciple of the Wine God Palace. Those who have faith, no matter how angry they are, can still borrow the power of faith to control their emotions." Long Chen stuck out his thumb.
The middle-aged man looked at Long Chen and did not say anything. In truth, he was very angry because Long Chen’s last sentence had disturbed his dao heart.
“Actually, I’m only trying to test you. If you can’t bear my words and chase me away, then there’s no need for me to continue exploring the Palace.”
Long Chen looked at the middle-aged man and said calmly, "From the moment I entered the room, I could tell that you were someone who would do everything in a straight line and would never allow any flaws to appear.
It included the process of wiping your hands, getting a bowl, and pouring wine. The distance between the wine bowl and the wine pot was exactly the same.
Even after you poured wine, the position where the wine jar was placed didn’t change at all.
"Therefore, when I drank it all with one hand, your mind started to change …"
As Long Chen spoke, the anger on the man’s face gradually disappeared. Instead, a thick sense of shock hung on his face.
Even Xia Youluo, who was standing to the side, was looking at Long Chen with a face full of shock. Long Chen had actually seen such a great detail, but she hadn’t noticed at all.
Long Chen continued, "Because my actions, in your eyes, do not conform to the rules and will make you feel uncomfortable.
You are a person who pursues perfection. Because you pursue perfection, the road in front of you is blocked.
Your wine has already been thoroughly tempered and has almost no flaws. However, haven’t you discovered that you are currently stuck at a bottleneck and are unable to break through? "
“Yes, yes. I’ve been stuck at this bottleneck for seven years and still haven’t been able to progress an inch. I once roamed around looking for the opportunity to break through, but I still feel the same. Esteemed guest, please enlighten me.” The anger on the middle-aged man’s face had long since disappeared.
At this moment, the middle-aged man’s eyes were shining as he looked at Long Chen, full of respect. Xia You Luo was stupefied. She didn’t dare to believe it.
The disciples of the Wine God Palace, who had always been proud and aloof, had actually revealed such an expression. It could be said that she had broadened her horizons.
"Actually, a year ago, under the guidance of the Wine God, your turning point was brought before you. It is a pity that you were unable to seize it." Long Chen said with a faint smile.
"One year ago? Could it be … "She …" The middle-aged man said with a face full of shock.
Not to mention the middle-aged man, even Xia Youluo was shocked. How did she become the opportunity for him to break through his shackles?
“That’s right. A year ago, she came here and said some things that she shouldn’t have said. You chased her away, and in reality, that was your chance to break through.” Long Chen said.
"Please enlighten me, esteemed guest." The middle-aged man actually gave Long Chen a deep bow.
"You are being too polite. The reason why I came to the Palace was because I wanted to learn from a pious heart."
When I was being rude, you still didn’t chase me, a person who doesn’t know etiquette, away. It can be seen that you are a magnanimous person, truly worthy of respect.
Since that’s the case, I’ll be frank. In fact, the last time Princess Seventeen came, she was the opportunity for you to break through.
This was because she was innocent and did not have any plans. No matter what she did, it was not on purpose to desecrate the Palace.
At this time, if your esteemed self is willing to tolerate her and not argue with her, you will have a breakthrough. " Long Chen said.
“This one is slow-witted, please explain in detail.” The middle-aged man still didn’t understand.
Since he’s bragging and doesn’t have to pay taxes, Long Chen said seriously: "The Way of Wine that you cultivate is also one of the heavens’ law. You pursue the highest spiritual realm, don’t you know that there is nothing in the world that is absolutely perfect?
The sun and moon profit and loss, the growth of karmic luck is difficult to achieve, the length of the line, Yin and Yang are different like positive and negative.
The path of heaven, more damage more than nourish insufficient, so extreme things will always be reversed, trees will always have glory and there will always be withering. You have always been pursuing perfection, this itself has forced yourself into a dead end.
The Heavenly Dao cycled on and on. Because it was incomplete, it could complement each other, fusing both Yin and Yang together.
For example, if the sun and moon are to have no loss and the luck is to have no end, and all living things are to live and not die, how will this world work? "
The middle-aged man looked at Long Chen with a face filled with shock. At the same time, his eyes were filled with endless confusion.
F * * k, you still don’t understand? Long Chen could only continue, “Therefore, there is no absolute, nothing is perfect. Only when there is a deficiency can there be a change, only then can there be a space to grow. Absolutely perfect, it is impossible for there to exist, because absolute perfection is — destruction, and finally disappearance.”
Suddenly, a faint halo began to circulate around his body. A strange fluctuation was emitted, causing Long Chen and Xia Youluo to be shocked. It was as if that person had suddenly comprehended something and instantly broke through a certain realm.
"Disciple Luo Yan thanks esteemed guest for his guidance, and will never forget your kindness." The middle-aged man suddenly kneeled to the ground.
"Princess Seventeen, I was rude before. I am here to formally apologize to you." As the middle-aged man spoke, he gave a deep bow to Xia You Luo.
"I… “I …” Xia Youluo was so scared that she hid behind Long Chen and didn’t even dare to speak anymore.
In her mind, she would always remember how this person had fiercely chased her out of the Wine God Palace. Now that person was bowing to her, she couldn’t even speak a single word.
“As soon as you attain enlightenment, your cultivation level will advance by leaps and bounds. I won’t disturb your cultivation any longer.” Long Chen stood up and said.
“Honorable guest, for your great kindness, you should be welcomed by us warmly, but this disciple needs to immediately consolidate the gains of his enlightenment. I really can’t accompany you.”
This is the treasure that this disciple has been refining for the past few years. I hope that esteemed guest will accept it, otherwise I will not feel at ease. " The middle-aged man held a spatial ring in his hands and respectfully handed it to Long Chen.
"This is not good at all. However, since you have already comprehended it, the wine that will be brewed in the future will be the real good wine. I will help you eliminate these." Long Chen shamelessly took the interspatial ring.
He stole a glance at his interspatial ring. Good heavens! There were over a thousand jars of wine the size of a person, as well as countless other jars of various sizes. However, Long Chen’s face was one that could withstand any sort of tempering.
"Many thanks."
After Long Chen took away his Space Ring, that middle-aged man actually wanted to thank Long Chen as well. After sending the two of them out of the small building, that person directly returned to his secluded cultivation.
The already somewhat dumbfounded Xia Youluo did not know how she managed to leave the small building. She continued to walk forward for a distance before she finally reacted.
“Long Chen, you’re amazing. You really know a lot. Can you teach me in the future?” Xia Youluo said.
“Don’t be so impudent, call me uncle!” Long Chen said with a straight face.
"You … “You’re a bad guy, don’t even think about it.” Xia Youluo said angrily.
“Hehe, if I’m not called Uncle. You don’t have a present!” Long Chen’s eyebrows jumped as he waved the space ring in his hand. This was a gift from the middle-aged man.
“Hmph, I won’t give in.” Xia Youluo looked at the spatial ring, somewhat moved. After hesitating for a long time, she still did not give in.
“Damn, I was joking with you.” Long Chen saw that Xia Youluo’s eyes were a bit red and that she was feeling wronged, so he didn’t feel the need to tease her.
“Take a good look. There are a total of ten large and several dozen small jars in this storage ring. Don’t blame Uncle for bullying you.”
"Considering the principle of working together, trusting each other on equal terms, and peacefully dividing up the spoils, we will add five of these wines each. With you, one pot, one pot, and you, one pot …" Long Chen found a secluded corner and began to distribute the loot.
The current Long Chen no longer had the appearance of an expert lecturer. He was clearly a swindler who was triumphantly counting the money.
"Oh my god, so many?" Looking at the huge jar, Xia Youluo was so frightened that she covered her cherry lips with her hands. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
This was only a small amount of the stolen money that Long Chen had casually dug out, not even worth a dime. Long Chen divided half of it to Xia You Luo and said in an extremely generous manner:
“Little girl, put it away. This is what you deserve. There is a way to steal and a way to deceive. Uncle Long, I didn’t mistreat you.” Long Chen chuckled.
This time, it was Xia Youluo’s turn to feel a bit embarrassed. However, this wine was too precious. It was the private wine of the disciples of the Wine God Palace. Even the imperial clan of Grand Xia would not be able to get it.
"Thank you!"
Xia You Luo looked at Long Chen. Her face was a little red, but there was joy in her eyes. This wine, if used to treat someone else, would be too honorable.
“Long Chen, you’re so awesome. You actually know so much about alcohol. Not only that, you’re also a alchemist?” How do you know so much at such a young age? " Xia Youluo looked at Long Chen with some admiration.
“I’m not young anymore, after all I’m your uncle now. Ah, looking back now, the past is like smoke …” Long Chen sighed.
"Alright, stop bullshitting. Can’t I be wrong? Long Chen, can you teach me some true ability? When you talk to that person, you’re really godly and you’re really handsome! " Xia Youluo said somewhat excitedly.
“That isn’t any real ability, it’s just a trick. It’s just that I coincidentally got it right.”
Let’s continue forward and see if there’s a suitable place for us to go. Let’s first step on it a bit and see if we can still get some more votes, and then get some good wine to go back to. " Long Chen said.
Xia Youluo was dumbfounded. The current Long Chen, compared to that confident and graceful Long Chen, was not a person at all. The current Long Chen spoke with the tone of a swindler. He didn’t seem like a good person at all.
“Silly girl, what are you waiting for? Let’s hurry up and go! Time is our wine, we can’t waste any time!”
Long Chen took a few steps forward and saw that Xia Youluo was still blankly staring at him. He pulled the little girl and continued forward.
Chapter 1184 - Singing
The green mountains were continuous, with winding paths leading to tranquility. The light rain had already stopped, and the green grass was being nourished by the light rain, giving off a vigorous life force.
There was no slaughter, no struggle, no conspiracy. Walking on the small stone staircase, Long Chen’s mood was surprisingly relaxed. He really enjoyed this feeling.
However, Xia Youluo was completely unable to experience that kind of mental state. This was because the environment she grew up in did not contain any sense of wealth, nor did it contain any sense of crisis.
At this time, Xia Youluo still hadn’t recovered from her shock, but now that she saw Long Chen with a stalk of grass between his teeth, humming an unpleasant tune and looking sloppy, she finally confirmed that this Long Chen was the real Long Chen. The one from before had definitely been possessed by the Wine God.
"Little girl, come and choose any one of these!" Long Chen looked at the junction in front of them and smiled.
"Call me little girl again and i will get angry! Call me by my name, You Luo!" Along the way, Long Chen called out to her, making her feel very uncomfortable.
If it wasn’t for Long Chen’s generosity and the fact that he was willing to split everything with her, she would have been furious.
"Alright, You Luo, choose a direction." Long Chen changed his tone. Some jokes needed to be stopped at the end, but there was no point in playing it any further. Even though Long Chen really wanted to be her uncle, calling the current Emperor of Grand Xia big brother.
"Why did you let me choose?" Xia You Luo asked.
“Because you’re the envoy sent by the Wine God, and also the fairy that ordered all of the disciples of the Wine God Palace. That’s why you came to pick me.” Long Chen said with a smile.
Although Long Chen had a mischievous smile on his face and didn’t look the least bit serious, the word ‘fairy’ caused Xia Youluo to be extremely happy.
“It would be weird if I believed you. You’ve already said that. You were talking nonsense before, but thank you. You saved my face.” Xia Youluo’s two eyes curved into crescent moons. It was clear that Long Chen had helped her get back at him. That Wine God Palace disciple bowing to her in apology was enough to make her extremely happy.
“There’s nothing to thank me for. We sincerely cooperate and trust each other to win. People in our line of work care the most about integrity. Quickly choose a path.” Long Chen urged.
"Then this one." Xia Youluo pointed at the middle path.
“Alright, sit upright. The right end of the hall. Take the three main roads in the middle and the princess will point to the road leading to the clouds.” “Looks like this is the path to becoming rich, let’s go!” Long Chen pretended to make some calculations as he shook his head and made up some nonsense.
Xia Youluo saw that Long Chen had a straw stem in his mouth, but his face was as serious as usual. His appearance was out of place, and coupled with his words, Xia Youluo laughed until she couldn’t straighten her back.
"Why is the princess laughing? Could it be that you are questioning my ability to transcend the heavens and my fortune-telling technique? " Long Chen slowly walked forward with a displeased expression.
“Alright, stop teasing me. I’m laughing so much that my stomach hurts. Your appearance is really similar to those fellows from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.” Xia Youluo was slightly out of breath as she caught up with him. Beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose, resembling cherry blossoms with dew on them, making her look very adorable.
"Are you related to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets?" Long Chen was shocked.
"Nope, it was when the Grand Han diplomatic mission arrived, with the disciples of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets following behind. Those disciples of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets looked very similar to your previous appearance." Xia Youluo said.
"Do you have a lot of interactions with Grand Han?" Long Chen asked.
“Not much, but after all, our two countries are a bit tense, so we can’t communicate much.” Xia Youluo said somewhat dejectedly.
"I don’t understand, why did royal father make his relationship with Grand Han so tense, why couldn’t he communicate properly?
The people of Great Han are so kind. In the ancient country of Great Han, there are so many moving stories of love. Sometimes, when I listen to them, tears would often stream down my face.
As Xia Youluo spoke, a misty look appeared in the depths of her eyes, as if she was immersed in a wonderful fantasy.
"Sometimes, what you see, is what others intentionally let you see. Sometimes, what you hear, is what others intentionally let you hear.
If you want to understand a person, or a country, you can’t just look at their appearance. Long Chen shook his head.
"You … “Don’t spout nonsense. You guys are obviously jealous of others and purposefully said bad things about them.” What Long Chen hadn’t expected was that after hearing this, Xia You Luo was instantly enraged and shouted at Long Chen.
"Haha? Jealousy? In this world, there is no one who is worthy enough to make me, Long Chen, jealous. Furthermore, I, Long Chen, have never looked down on people who speak ill of me.
Your brother wanted me to advise you, but who the hell would be willing to do such a stupid thing? I’m good at killing, and persuading others is not my forte.
How old are you? Eighteen years old. When I was eighteen, I had already disregarded life and death and fought a bloody battle for my brother’s beauty.
As for you, you are just an idiot with a tough brain. You can only wishfully believe whatever others say.
You have two eyes and two ears, but how big can they be? God gave you such a big head to think about.
"Pigs have big ears because they listen to everyone else and do not even need to think. Even when they are killed, they would just run out to die when they heard the call." Long Chen sneered.
Long Chen was also angry. This little girl had been brainwashed by the Great Han’s idiocy. It was simply unreasonable. If this could persuade her to change her mind, then the difficulty would be heaven-defying.
Long Chen couldn’t do anything about this. He was so frustrated. Long Chen was now regretting his decision. Why did he agree to Xia Yuncong? Wasn’t this all a waste of time?
“You’re the pig!” Xia You Luo raged.
“I’m too lazy to bother with you. This is unreasonable. Don’t follow me.” Long Chen coldly snorted. He couldn’t stand this little girl anymore. Her intelligence wasn’t on the same level at all.
“I don’t want to. I want to follow you. Even if I’m annoyed, I’ll bore you to death, you pig.” Xia Youluo held onto Long Chen’s hand tightly, closely following him. Long Chen had not been able to shake her off several times.
However, Long Chen wasn’t really using too much strength. Although his cultivation was locked, if he really wanted to use the power of his fleshly body, then he could just throw her back to the palace.
Seeing Xia Youluo grind her teeth, her watery eyes still brimming with tears and rolling around in her sockets, Long Chen’s heart softened.
Speechless, what can I care about a child? Long Chen couldn’t help but shake his head. His bearing was getting worse and worse. Why was he being so serious with a child?
"Alright, calm down, little girl. This is the Wine God Palace If we are kicked out like this, we will lose face." Long Chen said in a gentle tone.
“No, you have to apologize. Who asked you to be so fierce, you even scolded me.” Xia Youluo was still holding onto Long Chen’s arm, not letting go. She looked as if she wouldn’t let go even if she beat me to death.
“Fine, fine, fine. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been fierce, I shouldn’t have scolded you.” Long Chen had no choice but to surrender and treat it as playing with the child.
"You … You. "Wow …" Seeing Long Chen apologize, Xia You Luo actually began to cry.
“Hey, hey, what happened? I’m already apologizing, why are you still crying?” Long Chen was speechless.
"My royal father … My Queen Mother … My brother has never scolded me so harshly, and you. Yet, you called me a retard and called me a pig… "Woo woo …" The more Xia Youluo thought about it, the more sad she felt.
Xia You Luo had a high talent and was always spoiled. However, even though Xia You Luo was a little willful, she was kind and didn’t discipline him too much.
Therefore, after Long Chen scolded her today, she was originally holding on to her anger and didn’t cry. However, once Long Chen apologized, she felt wronged and couldn’t hold on anymore and burst into tears.
“Hey, hey, stop messing around. This isn’t a place to cry.” Long Chen hastily said.
"I don’t care, you bullied me … “Wuwu!” Xia Youluo wailed.
“Who’s making a ruckus in this quiet and quiet Wine God Palace’s Palace?” Suddenly, a berating voice could be heard from the front.
“Ah, it’s a misunderstanding. This is not a clamor. My sister saw that this place was quiet and serene, so she performed a song to express her admiration for the Wine God Palace.” Long Chen hastily called out.
"Puchi!"
Xia Youluo, who was crying, was amused by Long Chen’s words. Soon after, she felt a little embarrassed and quickly wiped away the tears on her face.
“Originally, my sister’s singing was quite pleasant to listen to. However, due to my excitement, she went out of tune, so it sounded like she was crying. Please don’t mind it.” Long Chen continued.
"Alright, stop messing around. Hurry up and get serious."
Finished speaking, Long Chen pulled Xia Youluo forward and turned a corner. He saw a handsome man standing in front of the small building as he coldly looked at them.
The man was seven feet tall and had a handsome face. However, there was a deep sadness in his eyes. Although he looked to be in his twenties, his eyes were filled with endless vicissitudes of life. He was probably not young.
"The mournful song is a song of heartbreak. I am here to prepare some wine for the two esteemed guests." the man said.
At the mention of the song, Xia You Luo’s expression became unnatural. Everyone knew that she was crying and that the person pretended not to notice.
"The two of you, please!"
The decorations of the small building were almost exactly the same as before, except that the person had changed, and the wine had also changed.
The two cups of wine had already been filled, and the man indicated to him.
“You Luo, come drink. This wine is of great benefit to you.” Long Chen said to Xia Youluo, but he didn’t reach out to take it.
Xia Youluo carefully picked up the wine and drank it in three gulps. Her originally depressed mood actually disappeared in one gulp. Unexpectedly, her face could not help but have a happy expression.
"How amazing. It can actually make me forget all my troubles and clear my mind." Xia Youluo exclaimed.
"This esteemed customer, aren’t you going to give it a try? “Your Excellency’s heart is in great pain, no less than mine. This wine can ease the depression in your heart, and will greatly benefit your cultivation.” The person looked at Long Chen and said.
Long Chen felt bitter in his heart? How was this possible? He was just a heartless bad guy, how could he suffer? Xia Youluo felt as if he had heard the biggest joke of all.
If not for the fact that they were in the Palace and the fact that she was facing a disciple of the Palace, she would have laughed out loud.
"The seven emotions and six desires, the love, the injury, and the pain are all precious memories. Why should I suppress them? If I wanted to borrow the power of wine and wipe it away, wouldn’t that be a betrayal of the past? So let’s just forget it. Thank you for your good will. " Long Chen shook his head. After he finished speaking, he pulled Xia Youluo away.
Chapter 1185 Search and plunder
"Honored guest, please stay behind. I have benefited greatly from your wise words. This is just a small gift, and not worthy of respect." That person actually chased out of the small building with an interspatial ring in his hand.
"You are too courteous. I am truly ashamed of such a generous gift." Long Chen shook his head.
"Esteemed guest, you are too humble. You have learned endless things. I am ashamed. In the past, I was a martial cultivator and my dao companion was attacked by numerous Deity Transformation Stage experts. My lover perished."
I fled far away to another place and trained hard to kill all of my former enemies. But my beloved partner finally passed away. My inner demons gradually grew, and I gradually went insane, suffering unspeakably all day long.
However, I suffered the pain of yearning day and night, and brewed wine to ease the pain.
“Just now, when I received my honored guest’s advice, I was suddenly enlightened. Everything happened because I was trapped. Now that I have a peaceful mind, in the future, I can leave my sufferings and enjoy myself, all thanks to you esteemed guest.” The man said respectfully.
Long Chen and Xia Youluo were both startled when they heard that person’s confession. This disciple of the Palace Master was actually a terrifying expert.
"This ring contains the items that I obtained before I escaped into the Wine God Palace. I wanted to abandon them long ago and cut off all ties with them.
However, I could not let it go. Now that you honored guest had come and sent it out, I could forget about it.
Initially, as a disciple of the Wine God Palace, I had nothing else but to personally brew my own wine as a gift. However, now that I have some distractions in my heart, I shall give this ring to you. That person said with a sincere expression.
So it wasn’t wine, then why didn’t you say so earlier? Long Chen thought that the disciples of the Palace were only offering wine, and Long Chen didn’t need that person’s wine, so he refused.
"In that case, thank you." Long Chen took the storage ring and thanked him.
“If that’s the case, then I won’t waste any more of your two distinguished guests time. If you’re free in the future, please come visit me and give me some pointers.”
"If I dare not accept it, then when I have the time in the future, I will definitely come and disturb you. This is a delicious wine." Long Chen also bowed towards that person.
After leaving the small building and walking forward for some distance, the holy appearance on Long Chen’s face disappeared. He took out that person’s spatial ring and looked inside.
“Damn, I’m rich.”
Long Chen jumped up in fright. This person was definitely a great character in the past. Within his spatial ring, there were dozens of king level weapons, over ten armors, various pills, and even cultivation technique manuals.
The most important thing was that Long Chen saw a spirit stone mountain. This was what Long Chen was most excited about.
“Long Chen, what’s in the spatial ring?” Xia You Luo asked curiously.
Long Chen directly gave the spatial ring to Xia Youluo to see for herself, but after Xia Youluo looked at it, she said somewhat disappointedly, "Why do I think it is a treasure? What’s the use of these things? "
Long Chen rolled his eyes and said in a speechless manner, "Feelings like you are a man who doesn’t know the hunger of a hungry man. For geniuses like you who never lack cultivation resources, you will never know the troubles of us poor people.
Do you know that for people like us who don’t have backgrounds, every single resource needs to be exchanged for with everything we have? "
“Why do you have to go all out in cultivation?” Isn’t it good for you to be like this now? " was feeling Xia Youluo somewhat strange.
Long Chen didn’t want to tell her and he couldn’t explain it to her, so he carefully looked inside the storage ring. There were still many things inside, but now wasn’t the time to carefully look inside.
The two continued to move forward, and soon, another small building appeared. However, the door to the small building was tightly shut, so no one appeared.
This was also very normal. The disciples of the Palace spent most of their time cultivating and brewing wine. Occasionally, they would meditate in their own small houses, waiting for their fated guests to savor their wine.
After passing through three pavilions in a row, a woman actually appeared. A female disciple of the Wine God Palace appeared.
This time, Xia Youluo took the initiative to greet them. The woman seemed to be very happy that someone had come to taste her wine, enthusiastically inviting the two into the room.
However, Xia Youluo would only say one word every time she tasted it — good wine. However, she couldn’t pinpoint the exact good points, so she couldn’t help but blush a little.
Fortunately, Long Chen was proficient in alchemy. Actually, there were many similarities between brewing wine and concocting pills. No matter what wine it was, Long Chen would be able to point out some of the characteristics of the brewing process.
In addition, Long Chen was also able to sense the effects of the wine with his Nine Star Tyrant Body Technique.
His comments were accurate, sinisterly flawless. The Palace disciple was pleasantly surprised.
It had to be known that the disciples of the Palace were cultivating in a spiritual realm, and wine was their only path of cultivation.
The disciples of the Palace weren’t afraid of others’ venomous tongues. They were afraid that others wouldn’t be able to understand the characteristics of the wine and thus spoil the wine. As long as they had the right opinion, no matter how ugly it sounded, they would still happily accept it.
After interacting with dozens of Palace Disciples, Xia Youluo finally experienced Long Chen’s abilities. Because each Palace disciple had a different style of wine making and their personalities were also very different.
There were refined scholars, slovenly beggars, savage butchers, and hermit gentlemen. In short, there were all kinds of people.
As for Long Chen, he could go against scholars in poetry, talk a hundred ways with beggars, make a fist with a butcher, and chat with a hermit. He could hook up with anyone, and everyone would be coaxed into prostrating themselves to the ground.
What shocked Xia Youluo the most was that Long Chen drank with the butcher. In the end, the two of them actually started cursing and foaming at the mouth. The butcher even gave Long Chen his best wine.
It wasn’t just the butcher. Those who had drunk with Long Chen, regardless of their gender or age, had all been robbed clean by Long Chen.
The thing that Xia Youluo admired the most was that those people didn’t even need Long Chen to ask for it. They only offered it to him on their own accord, as if they would feel guilty for the rest of their lives if they didn’t give him the best thing.
And every time, Long Chen would tactfully reject them. In the end, when the other side was about to become angry, he would reluctantly accept it. That kind of acting made Xia Youluo want to beat him up.
In the end, after a long circle, Xia Youluo received a large amount of benefits. However, she did not know that the things she had received were only a fraction of the benefits of Long Chen.
It had to be known that those people had all given him spatial rings. Moreover, after Long Chen had played around with them for a while, they all felt as if they were pushing away the clouds and seeing the bright moon.
At this time, Long Chen hinted to them: "You have entered a new era. You should abandon all your past achievements in order to have the courage to go all out."
It was unknown whether those people had managed to ascend to the next level. Since Long Chen had ascended to the next level, the wine vats in the Chaos Dimension had all become mountains.
Every time he obtained a spatial ring, Long Chen would circulate the Chaotic Space and move them away, leaving a bit of them behind.
In addition, Long Chen was also wicked, and he even wanted to fight with Xia Youluo. Xia Youluo, that silly girl, had no doubt about it. Seeing Long Chen give half to her, her heart was filled with emotions.
The sky was getting dark. Long Chen and Xia Youluo had returned with a great harvest. Xia Youluo also stopped playing. Her smiling face was full of excitement as she said that she wanted to go back and give her royal father and mother a surprise.
It must be known that even the Grand Xia Emperor would have to personally come here if he wanted to taste this wine. And some disciples of the Palace had strange temperaments; even as the Grand Xia Emperor, he wouldn’t buy it.
On the way back, Xia Youluo had held onto Long Chen’s arm all the way back, causing Long Chen to feel somewhat overwhelmed. He felt that this little girl was quite likeable when she wasn’t brain-damaged.
It wasn’t until they were out of the Palace that Xia Youluo finally let go of Long Chen’s arm and returned to the palace with the other imperial guards.
What surprised the guards the most was that the two of them remained at loggerheads. When they came back, they were talking and laughing, and all of them looked at each other. It seemed that this wine was really good stuff, no wonder the people of Grand Xia had such strong feelings for it.
"Long Chen, I really admire you. You know, there are more teachers in our academy than us." As the two of them advanced, looking at the spatial ring, Xia Youluo said with a face full of worship as she saw hundreds of jars of wine with different styles.
Right now, she was extremely excited. Any pot of wine was enough to make people look at her in a new light. She couldn’t wait any longer and wanted to show off.
“Hehe, follow me. I guarantee you that you’ll have a good time.” Being worshipped by a noble princess, Long Chen felt really good in his heart.
“Alright, next time you go there to play, remember to bring me along. I won’t accompany you to your brother’s place, I’m going home first.” After saying that, the little girl made a cute face at Long Chen and disappeared without a trace.
This was truly too heartless. However, thinking about it, he knew that this child hadn’t experienced much. If he didn’t show off his ability, he would definitely suffocate her to death.
Long Chen followed the guards back to Xia Yunchong’s mansion. Although they were also in the palace, the palace was heavily guarded and there were countless formations. No one was leading the way as they constantly sounded the alarm.
"Brother Long, how was your harvest today?" Xia Yunchong had already been waiting at home. When he saw that Long Chen had returned, he immediately came up and asked in a hurry.
"Haha, I have gained quite a lot." Long Chen gave Xia Yunchong a victory sign. His gains today were too great.
“You Luo has a good impression of you?” Xia Yunchong couldn’t help being overjoyed.
"This…"
Long Chen was stunned. Looking at Xia Yunchong’s pleasantly surprised expression, Long Chen suddenly understood that Xia Yunchong had misunderstood his meaning. Long Chen’s harvest was not the same as Xia Yunchong’s.
"This… “Is this considered to be gradually entering a better state?” Long Chen said somewhat embarrassedly. He was so engrossed with today’s harvests that he had completely forgotten about Xia Yunchong’s entrustment.
“That’s good, that’s good. This can’t be rushed. This girl’s guard is too strong. I don’t even dare to mention what happened at Grand Han’s place to her, she’ll explode the moment I mention it.”
You’ve just met her, so you should first gain her trust. For the time being, don’t bring up any sensitive topics. Otherwise, she might also be on her guard against you. " Xia Yunchong said with a sigh of relief.
Long Chen bitterly smiled in his heart. He was already on his guard, and today wasn’t the first time he had exploded.
“Come, Brother Xia, I’ve brought countless fine wines with me today. I’ll let you taste them today.”
Under Xia Yunchong’s shocked gaze, Long Chen took out jars after jars of wine with special marks on them. When he saw those marks, Xia Yunchong’s eyes bulged out.
Chapter 1186 - Absolute Yang Immortal Slaying
Xia Yunchong was completely stunned by Long Chen’s gesture. He looked at the jars of fine wine with special markings one after another, his face full of shock.
jar after jar of fine wine entered his stomach. Each type of fine wine carried with it different realms and understandings. This was not alcohol, but rather, communication with the Heavenly Dao.
The wine brewed by every disciple of the Palace represented a type of life, a type of understanding, carefully savored and profound. This was a kind of communication that was close to the dao.
Dozens of different types of wine, each one was a small jar. The two of them carefully savored it and discussed their experiences while Xia Yunchong was extremely excited. He savored the lives of others and, from the perspective of a bystander, felt that they were closer to the Heavenly Dao.
"Pfft …" What wine is this? "So fierce?"
When he was tasting the last type of wine, Xia Yunchong almost spit it out. He quickly covered his mouth with a face full of shock.
When the wine entered his throat, it was like the eruption of lava. The terrifying power made people feel as if they were about to be completely burnt, and they almost instinctively wanted to spit it out.
"Swallow it and taste it carefully." Long Chen chuckled. He was the same back then. He had almost been laughed at by that fierce-looking fellow.
Xia Yunchong swallowed the wine and when the wine entered his stomach, it felt like millions of knives were stabbing into his body. Xia Yunchong’s expression slightly changed.
However, very quickly, the wine began to spread through his meridians, rushing into his limbs and bones like a river that had broken out of its banks, reaching the very end of his meridians.
When it reached the end of his meridians, there was another wave of intense pain. When that strange energy hit the end of his meridians, it almost caused his meridians to explode.
He was like a man dashing at full speed. There was a mountain blocking his way, and it seemed as if he wanted to smash the mountain into pieces.
In the end, the mountain didn’t collapse, but that energy was even faster than before and it quickly returned. Previously, it was a river that had broken its way, but now it was flowing back into the sea.
"Buzz!"
"This is bad!"
Xia Yunchong’s expression changed. The alcohol actually brought about a tyrannical power within his body that rushed into his dantian. His aura exploded out without being able to control it, and it was at full power.
If he allowed that energy to explode, his residence would instantly be razed to the ground. Luckily, Xia Yunchong’s cultivation was terrifying, preventing the aura from leaking out.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
However, from Xia Yunchong’s body, there came a series of explosions, like a volcanic eruption.
The rumbling sounds continued for a few breaths before it slowly dissipated. Xia Yunchong couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment, “What terrifying strength, what strong insights, what tyrannical willpower.”
"Hehe, I also had a match with Brother Xia back then and almost made a fool of myself. That fat guy with the fierce-looking face is indeed very powerful." Long Chen nodded. This wine was brewed by the butcher.
"A fierce-looking fatty?" "Are you talking about the ruthless Absolute Yang Slaughtering Qian Shang?" Xia Yunchong said in shock.
“I don’t know, but his surname is indeed Tu. He told me to call him Fatty Tu.” Long Chen replied. However, Long Chen had always felt that this butcher-like fatty had a great background. Now that he saw Xia Yunchong’s shocked expression, he guessed correctly.
"Brother Long, do you know that he is a cruel person? Three thousand and five hundred years ago, with the power of one person, he annihilated an ancient clan and killed hundreds of Primordial Spirit Transformation Stage experts. He even killed the Patriarch of that clan.
That clan leader was an existence on the same level as the Xuan Lord of your Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect.
After ruthlessly slaughtering a tribe of the ancient clans, he had infuriated the ancient alliance and issued the killing order. The entire Ancient clan had sent out all of their experts to kill him.
Under the encirclement and suppression, Tu Qian Shang was fleeing for his life. He was nearly killed several times and heavily injured, but in the end, he still managed to escape.
After escaping, Tu Qianshang waited for his wounds to heal before taking revenge on the Ancient race. He had destroyed seven tribes, all of which had been involved in the encirclement and annihilation of the Ancient race.
In the end, the Ancient race became furious again and began a large-scale encirclement. However, Tu Qiushang had also become more intelligent, appearing and disappearing without a trace. He simply did not give them the chance to encircle him.
They had been surrounded and annihilated for three years. Three clan leaders had fallen, and several hundred Primordial Spirit Transformation Stage experts had been killed.
In the end, Tu Qian Shang killed too many people. Some people turned to the Tainwu Island for help, and Tu Qian Shang’s whereabouts were calculated, so when the experts of the ancient clans were about to kill Tu Qian Shang, the Wine God Palace appeared and saved him. From then on, Tu Qian Shang became a disciple of the Wine God Palace. When Xia Yunchong brought up Tu Qianshang’s history, his face was still filled with reverence and worship.
“The ancient clans are just going to swallow their anger and let the Wine God Palace took him him away?” Long Chen couldn’t believe it.
"The key is, do they dare to not give in? The Palace is the inheritance of a True God. Brother Long, you must not underestimate the disciples of the Palace.
Let me tell you, most of these people were extremely talented experts, and all of them were great figures who had caused a commotion at their time.
Thus, they had their own insights into life, and thus were able to brew their own Dao-wine. Others were all groping about in the Heavenly Dao, but they had already reached a completely different realm.
Therefore, the strength of the Palace wasn’t something that anyone could afford to provoke. Was the Pill Valley strong or not? They had been forced out of the Palace in cooperation with the Wine God Palace. They didn’t even dare to fart.
Even the Pill Valley didn’t dare to make a sound. The Ancient Family Alliance was just a bunch of abandoned descendants of Xuan Beasts. What right did they have to challenge the Wine God Palace?
Moreover, the Ancient Clan Alliance had always been disliked by the human race, and was unwilling to admit that they were descendants of the human race. They only admitted that they were the descendants of the profound beasts, but the profound beasts did not care about them.
It’s too far. Let’s talk about the Wine God Palace. In reality, the disciples of the Palace have given up on martial arts, pursuing the path of wine.
However, if others do not provoke them, they will not take action. Even if they do offend them, they will only expel them. The disciples of the Wine God Palace, if no one desecrates the Wine God, it is forbidden to kill. " Xia Yunchong explained.
What the heck, he’s putting on a show this time. Every single one of them is a big shot, yet I was f * cking bragging to them and trying to cheat them to drink wine?
Thinking of this, Long Chen started to sweat profusely. I’m really stupid. Without sufficient experience and setbacks, how can I comprehend my own Dao and brew my own Dao wine?
In reality, Long Chen didn’t know that Long Chen didn’t think much of their identities, which was why he was welcomed by them. In their eyes, the path of wine was everything, and martial arts was not in their eyes.
If Long Chen respected them because of their status and cultivation, they would be disgusted. On the other hand, Long Chen relied on the Pill Emperor’s memory and the comprehension of the Nine Star Tyrant’s Body Perception to brag and boast. Instead, he allowed them to find his shortcomings in Long Chen’s Chinese language, which was why he gave his wine to Long Chen so generously.
"You should know that when Tu Qiushang was being hunted down, he was only at the Primordial Spirit Transformation realm. The fact that he crossed ranks to kill a Life Star Realm expert shocked the entire Central Region.
His wine was his Dao. It was fierce, overbearing, and filled with an indomitable will.
I cultivate the invincible path of cultivation, which is too much of a help for me. Brother Long, this wine … “Don’t drink it anymore, leave it to me, your brother, to comprehend it.” As he finished speaking, Xia Yunchong’s face was a little hot. He slapped the wine jar that was half a foot tall and said shamelessly.
After saying this, even Xia Yunchong felt himself blushing. Other people invited him to drink, but he told them not to. This was truly too shameless.
Long Chen was not walking on the path of invincibility. Drinking it would be too much of a waste. If he was given this wine, his path of invincibility would be even higher and his vigor would be even more valiant.
“Hehe, Brother Xia, don’t worry about it. This little bit of wine is nothing at all. Your sister even has five jars of this wine …” Long Chen said with a smile.
"What, she has? I’m going to rush over, it would be a waste for her to drink it. " Xia Yunchong was greatly shocked. He didn’t wait for Long Chen to finish speaking before standing up.
Long Chen hurriedly grabbed Xia Yunchong and said, “Don’t, I gave that to her. How can I take it back?”
“Besides, the wine here, let alone you, you wouldn’t even need a bath if you were to drink it all.”
As Long Chen finished speaking, he took out ten buckets of wine the size of a man. They were filled with the wine of Absolute Yang Absolute Chill, and were even better than the ones he drank earlier.
“What we were drinking just now, in Fatty Tu’s words, was only for gargling. This is the real wine.”
Long Chen immediately opened a wine barrel and, to Xia Yunchong’s astonishment, poured out two bowls of wine.
When the wine entered the bowl, it actually released a light blue flame. Even the air started to slightly distort. The wine rolled about in the bowl like lava.
"Here, try this." Long Chen said as he raised his wine bowl.
The two of them picked up the wine bowls and downed it in one gulp. Long Chen had already finished drinking it. He had already mentally prepared himself, so he was still better off.
Although Xia Yunchong was mentally prepared, he had still underestimated the tyranny of this wine. After drinking it in one bowl, the clothes on his forearms and calves directly exploded, and blood flowed from his hands and feet. At the same time, his hair stood on end.
Long Chen, on the other hand, was filled with admiration. Xia Yunchong was truly an amazing person who walked the unrivalled path of cultivation. How could he withstand such a terrifying impact?
One must know that when Long Chen had drunk this wine, if it weren’t for Tu QianShang, Long Chen would have shattered that small building. However, Xia Yunchong was able to slightly release his strength from his limbs to a buffer, reducing the power of the wine. This meant that Xia Yunchong’s control of power was much stronger than Long Chen’s.
"Such tyrannical willpower. You are truly worthy to be so cruel to me. Brother Long, I am going to bring with me a few jars of wine to train in seclusion." Xia Yunchong said with a smile.
"Take these. I still have more." Long Chen directly passed all the wine to Xia Yunchong.
Xia Yunchong couldn’t help being overjoyed. He was originally a bit worried about the lack of alcohol, and was unable to comprehend the true profundity within. Now that he had so much, it was definitely not a problem.
Xia Yunchong said that it would probably take a few days for him to go into seclusion. He asked Long Chen what his arrangements would be and whether he would like Xia Youluo to accompany him out to play.
How could Long Chen have the time to play? He asked Xia Yunchong for a quiet room and used it as a place to go into seclusion with Xia Yunchong. The wine that he had painstakingly swindled was not for the sake of satisfying his craving.
Chapter 1187 - Amazing Harvest
"Phew!"
A drop of the medicinal liquid merged into the wine, instantly burning. A terrifying energy rapidly fluctuated, twisting the space around it.
“Oh my god, this is Absolute Yang Absolute Monarch Sanctuary’s wine. Once it is mixed with the power of pills, it will no longer be considered medicinal wine, but poison wine. Whoever drinks this wine and doesn’t die, everyone in this world will die.”
Long Chen looked at the sky in shock. This was a mass of liquid that fluctuated violently. Long Chen had tried many times before successfully fusing the liquid into the strong wine. However, he couldn’t drink the wine at all. It would kill him.
Long Chen took out a drop from the ball of liquid and placed it in his mouth. He immediately felt as if a bomb had exploded in his mouth.
Smoke rose from his ears, nose, and mouth, and his tears flowed profusely. It wasn’t because he was excited, but because he couldn’t stop at all.
“The effect has been increased by a hundred times. This is no longer a fusion, but a mutation. Such a terrifying effect might have huge side effects. Forget it, I’m not going to study Fatty’s wine anymore, I’m going to study others’.”
Long Chen gave up on the excellent wine of Jue Yang Tu Qian Shang. This fellow’s wine was too overbearing, and was not suitable for making medicinal wine.
Long Chen chose the wine of a female disciple. Her wine nourished the soul, bringing with it the concept of a spring rain that could shake the world and revive all living things.
This female disciple was a wood cultivator before, so she brew wine with her life force. Long Chen used dozens of cultivation pills to fuse with her.
This was a very complicated process. The process of fusing a medicinal pill with wine, the ratio, the control, and so on would all affect the success or failure.
Even though the medicinal wine had been successfully refined, its efficacy was still unstable. One needed to constantly explore and ponder on how to achieve the best effect of the wine.
Even with the memory of the Pill God and his knowledge of medicinal properties, as well as his knowledge of the ingredients in the wine, it was still extremely difficult to fuse them together.
One had to know that when the Pill Tower and the Palace worked together to fuse the art of alchemy and the art of winemaking, it took thousands of years to study more than ten types of wine. It was evident how difficult it was to fuse two different techniques together.
However, Long Chen’s medicinal wine was not refined, but rather concocted. It was relatively simple, as if there was something added to a painting to make it more beautiful.
But even if the medicinal wine was concocted, through the fusion of the powers of the wine and the medicinal effects, the medicinal effects would be several times, or even ten times stronger.
Ten times was a limit, and this was the limit for the concocting of medicinal wine. After all, it couldn’t be compared to the medicinal wine that had been brewed since the time it was selected and fermented.
If the effects of this type of medicinal wine surpassed ten times, it would become a mutated one. Although this kind of medicinal wine was powerful, it could very likely bring about very serious side effects. Long Chen didn’t have much time to experiment with it, so he could only give up on his mutated medicinal wine and develop some medicinal wine that was suitable for reference.
Long Chen studied it for three days, but only seven types of medicinal wine were produced. Of the seven types of medicinal wine, only five could be used now, and there were two that still needed further observation.
Of the five types of medicinal wine, there were only two that Long Chen was very satisfied with. One of them was called the Spirit-Nurturing Soul-Nurturing Wine, which could nourish a person’s soul and was extremely powerful.
Another type of wine was called Bone Strengthening Wine. It was brewed by a body cultivator from the Wine God Palace. Its effects were more powerful as a result of refining the medicinal effects of the Long Chen.
These two wines were very helpful to Long Chen, much more effective than pills. Furthermore, the taste was also better. Honestly speaking, Long Chen had eaten so many pills in the past few years that he almost vomited. Now that he had changed tastes, he felt extremely happy.
Because brewing medicinal wine took too much time and the process was too complicated, Long Chen didn’t put all his effort into brewing the medicinal wine. He opened the space ring that the expert from the Palace of Wine gave him.
"Haha, Royal Armament Armguard, I want this."
A pair of golden armguard appeared in Long Chen’s hands. Ancient patterns were engraved on them, and they were as heavy as a mountain. To Long Chen, these were definitely good stuff.
With the armguard, Long Chen could use his arm to block the King Armament’s attack, but he didn’t need to use his long blade to defend. Because the saber didn’t heavily defend, if he tried to defend again, he would be forced into a passive state.
"Damn, this pair of leather boots is also at the king level?"
Long Chen held a pair of leather boots. It was unknown what kind of leather boots it was made from. Although it didn’t look like much on the outside, the inner walls of the boots were lit up with countless lines and even the insole was supported by array formations.
“Alright, I hope the person in front of me doesn’t have any stamina.” Long Chen took off his shoes and put them on.
"Buzz!"
Just as Long Chen put on the leather boots, countless lines lit up on the leather boots. The leather boots that were originally somewhat large actually began to slowly tighten, shrinking to a size that was just right for the boots.
"Phew!"
Long Chen kicked out as the wind howled. A faint light appeared on the surface of Long Chen’s Spirit Essence as it rippled. A large area of space started to distort as Long Chen hastily withdrew the Spirit Essence.
"Good heavens! This is not a weapon level King Armament. As long as I have enough spirit essence, I can use it."
Long Chen was shocked. This was the first time he had worn a king level protective gear. Not all king level protective gear required a king level powerhouse to trigger it.
His boots were on his feet and his armguard was on his arms. With the sleeves covering him, it was impossible to see what was going on. Furthermore, his movements were not affected at all.
Long Chen was overjoyed. If he looked at the other king level weapons, there wouldn’t be anything that would suit him. Most of them were mostly weapons, and there were also a few armors.
Long Chen didn’t like heavy armors. He had sacrificed his flexibility for a strong defense. Long Chen didn’t like this kind of fighting style.
Heavy Armors were only suitable for group battles, especially when they were in charge. They would have the advantage, but they were not suitable for individual battles.
He then looked at the other treasures. There were quite a few medicinal pills, but Long Chen was not interested in them. There were also quite a few secret manuals.
Long Chen finally confirmed that the person who gave him this interspatial ring could very well be the Sect Leader of a powerful force.
There were a lot of secret manuals, and from beginner level combat skills to profound magic skills, there were many things that needed to be sorted step by step.
Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. No wonder that person said that he had been reluctant to abandon it for so many years. It was very possible that he once had a dream to create his own sect and pass on everything he inherited.
"Eh, what is this?"
An extremely ancient beast skin suddenly appeared in Long Chen’s hand. The beast skin had already somewhat dried up and was even showing signs of eroding.
On the beast skin was a map. The two depth regions on the map were like the eyes of two skeletons. The more Long Chen looked at the map, the more it looked like the head of a skeleton.
On the forehead of the skull was a small rune. The rune was very strange and it was not an Immortal language, so he couldn’t understand what it was.
"This thing is most likely terrifyingly ancient. The pressure exuded by the beast skin is even more frightening.
He just didn’t know what this map was made of. Perhaps only that person knows, but that person gave me the spatial ring to completely remove the worry in my heart. How can I go back and ask him?
Forget it, just leave it for now. It’s mine, and there’s no way I can hide from it. It’s not mine, I can’t find it, so there’s no need to waste my time. " Long Chen shook his head and put the map away.
"Hahaha, spirit essence stones, this is my favorite thing."
Long Chen looked at the Spirit Stone Mountain in his spatial ring and directly moved it into the Primal Chaos Dimension. He estimated it to be around 1.2 billion spirit essence stones.
Long Chen knew that these spirit essence stones didn’t belong to that person, but rather, he had stolen all of the sects’ spirit stones after taking his revenge. That was why he had so many spirit stones.
Looking at these spirit essence stones, Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh. It seemed that the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect had really declined. One of the three sects in the world was extremely poor.
It was just as the Xuan Lord had said. If the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect didn’t change, then they really wouldn’t be able to hold on any longer.
"Phew!"
Long Chen had the Fire Dragon and Thunder Dragon swallow up the spirit essence stones. At the same time, Long Chen extracted the power of the twin dragons and injected their spirit energy into his body.
108,000 celestial altars started to operate at a rapid speed as they absorbed more spiritual energy. On the celestial jades, one symbol after another appeared.
Two days later, the 108,000 celestial altar spiritual energy in Long Chen’s body trembled violently. The celestial spiritual energy once again rose to another level and entered the 4th layer of the Forging Platform.
It was the same as other layers. Long Chen covered all of the heavenly layer. The fourth layer was a flat cylinder with a strange flower pattern of 13 petals in the center.
When he entered the 4th Heavenly Layer, Long Chen’s immortal altar started to tremble violently. The immortal altar started to madly squeeze, and after a day, the immortal altar actually shrank by a size.
However, the smaller the immortal platform, the more solid it became. Along with the rotation of the immortal platform, a faint glow actually appeared.
At the same time, Long Chen felt that every celestial altar had been strengthened. The amount of energy that had increased was several times greater than when he was at the third heavenly layer.
This gave Long Chen a fright. Because the power of the immortal platform had increased dramatically, his physical strength had also increased. Long Chen was shocked to discover that the strength of his body didn’t match with the power of the immortal platform.
Long Chen also finally realized the problem. Without reaching the 5th Star, his physical body would no longer be able to keep up with the power of the Nine Star Tyrant Body Technique.
Now that he had entered the 4th Heavenly Layer and stepped into the intermediate stage, Long Chen’s danger had appeared. Long Chen’s current body could barely withstand the power of the immortal platform.
However, what if he reached the fifth, sixth, or even the seventh heavenly layer, which was also at the late stage of the immortal-foundation realm? Especially after entering the Tenth Heaven; according to past experience, his body would undergo a tremendous change. If he used the power of the immortal foundation, wouldn’t he be shaken to death?
“I can’t go on like this. The opening of the fifth star is imminent, but the fifth star has not shown any signs of activity at all. I must think of a way to increase the strength of my fleshly body.”
However, with my current strength, not to mention taming, I might not even be able to break through the outer barrier of the Azure Dragon’s reverse scale.
As Long Chen was in the midst of sorrow and contemplation about how to increase his physical strength, Xia Yuluo arrived.
