Chapter 173, Part 7: The Immortal Wine of Jiuquan is Produced
"Combat Talent: Three People in One Shadow (Unlocked)?"
Xu Ning looked at the third column of boxes. Although the name appeared, he still couldn't see the specific description or skill effects.
"Isn't this just a preview function? What's the point of telling me the name? Do you think I can't recite Brother Bai's poems? Why don't you just give me 'Kill one person in ten steps'? At least I'd have a reference template!"
Xu Ning muttered a few complaints, but eventually couldn't withstand the power of that "memory of the banquet," and drifted off to sleep on the grass in a daze.
The man in green shook his head, walked over, and took the golden cup that Xu Ning was still holding tightly from his hand.
He gently sniffed the remaining liquid at the bottom of the glass, closed his eyes as if recalling a certain taste.
"Hmph, you think you're invincible after just a few drinks? You haven't even had one drink yet, and you've already shown your true colors."
Qingyi glanced disdainfully at Xu Ning, who was fast asleep on the ground, and casually tossed the cup in her hand into the spring water of Ganlin.
Immediately, the entire space began to rumble, and the western stone wall of the Qiongjiang Wine Spring gradually shattered.
The broken stones fell to the ground and neatly arranged to form the shape of a stone pool.
Directly above the stone pool, a brand-new dragon head emerged from the shattered stone wall, with amber-colored wine flowing from its mouth and slowly pouring into the wine pool below.
It was the same intoxicating wine that Xu Ning had just tasted from the golden cup.
With a frown, Qingyi walked to the wine pool and stood for a long time in front of a smooth, large rock.
"What the hell should we name this? I hate naming things the most. If only that chatterbox Liu Yun were still here... Hmm, this wine should only exist in heaven, how often can one drink it on earth? La la la, let's just call it Immortal Wine... To be a bit too straightforward, let's just call it Immortal Brew."
Once Qingyi had decided on the name, she stretched out her index finger and began to trace it on the large rock.
As his fingertips moved, stone powder fell in a flurry, and in no time, the two characters "Immortal Brew" were written.
"It's done!"
Qingyi stood up, glanced at Xu Ning who was still lying on the grass, and stretched out a big yawn.
Then, the woman in green suddenly appeared taller. Inside her narrow cheongsam, her snow-white, rounded legs stretched out and straightened, making her appear more than twice as tall.
A pair of slender, fair wrists, smooth as white jade, stretched out from her sleeves, making the person in blue suddenly appear taller, making the blue cheongsam she was wearing look like a small garment.
Barefoot, she walked to Xu Ning's side, preparing to bend down and pick him up. Unexpectedly, her waist bent so sharply that her clothes could no longer bear the weight on her chest. With a soft "pop," a button on her clothes flew off and hit Xu Ning's face.
Xu Ning scratched his face unconsciously, still fast asleep and not yet awake.
Qingyi gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "Just to hug you once, I ruined a piece of my clothing. You'll have to pay me back for a new one tomorrow."
When Xu Ning opened his eyes in the morning, he was startled to find that the ceiling above him was not the kind of square ceiling made of fragrant wood found in Ningguang or Beidou's rooms.
Xu Ning's first instinct was to look around, then check that his clothes were neat and tidy before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness, if this were a TV drama, someone next to me would probably already be crying."
Xu Ning sat up and saw Qingyi sitting on a small stool at the head of the bed, sewing buttons on her cheongsam with a dark expression.
Qingyi naturally heard Xu Ning's words and sneered, "Pah! As if anyone would covet your beauty. What a wimp, you get drunk after just one drink. If I hadn't dragged you inside and left you out in the wind all night, I'd like to see who's crying now."
Xu Ning then realized that this was Qingyi's room on the first floor.
The cave is not the same as before. There is a gentle breeze blowing in the space. Although the wind is gentle, if you are drunk and blown by the wind all night, you will probably have a splitting headache in the morning.
"Thanks."
Xu Ning thanked the woman in green who had dragged him onto the bed, then stood up and stretched his limbs.
"Hmm, you're sewing clothes? Isn't this thing made from your skin? How can it tear?"
The woman in green bit off the white thread at the base of the button and cursed, "What do you mean by 'made from skin'? When I turned into a little snake... a little dragon, it was my clothes that turned into patterns. I've followed you for so long, and all I have is this one piece of clothing, which I tore because I was dragging you along. Shouldn't you show some appreciation?"
Xu Ning smiled apologetically, "How could I have thought of that if you hadn't told me? Alright, alright, now that the Dragon Disaster has disappeared, I guess all the shops on the streets and alleys should be reopening. Let's go shopping, I'll cover all the expenses."
The man in green's expression finally brightened, and he said, "I'll let you off this time!"
Xu Ning pushed open the door, went to Gan Lin's place to wash up, and while washing up, he felt that the cave was a bit out of place today.
When he straightened up, he was surprised to find that there was another spring of wine in his hidden cave.
Xu Ning ran towards the last spring of wine.
"Immortal wine? Is this the wine I drank last night? Wow, the aroma is almost intoxicating."
Xu Ning ran to the stove, took out a bowl, and scooped out a bowl of wine from Jiuquan.
Just as I was about to drink it, I thought about it and poured out half a bowl. Then, thinking about how I looked last night, I poured out another half. Only then did I dare to pour it into my mouth and savor the taste of this divine brew.
"This wine..."
Yesterday, I was so focused on activating my destiny star that I drank too quickly and didn't really taste anything.
Only after careful tasting today have I finally come to appreciate the unique qualities of this divine brew.
The wine from the first few springs was indeed fine wine, but that was all.
Only after the sweet wine was absorbed into the heart of the Wind God did a qualitative change occur.
Each sip of wine seems to bring the flow of a thousand years of tradition into the body, cleansing away impurities and purifying the mind and body.
This celestial brew seemed to carry the blessings of the seven gods. With each sip, Xu Ning could feel his understanding of the elemental forces around him becoming clearer and his senses becoming more intimate.
Xu Ning chuckled, "Hmm, that's really good. I'll use this as my daily drinking drink from now on."
Qingyi straightened her clothes and came out. Turning her head, she saw that Xu Ning had actually gone to the Immortal Brewing Spring to drink.
"Why are you just like that girl Beidou, unable to control yourself? Don't you know what you were like last night? If you don't want to go shopping with me for clothes, just say so!"
Enraged, Qingyi ran over, jumped up, and kicked Xu Ning in the knee.
Xu Ning patted the small footprint on his pants and laughed, "Don't be silly! I only tried a little bit on purpose. It'll be fine for shopping!"
Xu Ning glanced at the three little figures icon above his field of vision and was surprised to find that he had already entered the third level of drunkenness.
"It's alright, luckily I still have a special skill for sobering up, Drunken Madness, which can completely eliminate all drunkenness at once. Qingyi, move aside a bit..."
