Chapter 75: Wine Celestial Lineage
No one knew how much time had passed in the secret zone because there was no day or night.
Among the disciples of the 12 peaks, Chen Jingzhai and the others were not the only ones who were lucky enough to find a cave residence.
However, some disciples could not obtain the opportunities inside even if they found the cave residence.
This was because only formation masters could break the Restrictions.
Even if they could crack it with brute force, the grade of the cave residence was not high, so how much could they gain?!!
Fortunately, the secret zone was huge, and opportunities were not limited to caves.
There were also precious minerals, treasures, spiritual plants, medicinal herbs, and so on.
Since this secret zone housed the immortal abode of the celestial being Hongdu, it naturally had great potential.
It was natural to have rich resources and many spiritual objects.
However, how many opportunities could be comparable to those in the Hongdu Immortal Abode?
No wonder the prodigal disciples refused to leave and supported Chen Jingzhai in breaking the fifth Restriction.
After the fourth Restriction was broken, everyone tasted the sweetness of the fruit. So even if the fifth Restriction took longer, everyone would still be willing to wait.
However, on the third day after Chen Jingzhai began to crack the fifth Restriction, someone arrived at the entrance of the passageway and triggered the Restriction set up by Li Yifei.
“Oh, it’s Wine Celestial Jiang!”
Zhao Qinghe’s eyes lit up when he saw who it was.
“Looks like I’m in the right place!”
Jiang Lin, from the Wine Celestial lineage, walked out of the formation with his lacquered red wine gourd.
“Of course, you’re in the right place. You’re just a little late!
“Let’s not talk about that for now. Instead, give me a sip of wine!”
Zhao Qinghe stood in front of him and smiled.
“It’s fine for you to have a sip, but first, tell me what happened.”
Jiang Lin’s peach-blossom eyes narrowed with a faint smile.
“Of course!”
Zhao Qinghe nodded and was extremely serious.
“Then I’ll give you a sip!”
Jiang Lin slapped the lacquered red wine gourd, and the cork flew out.
Then, a silvery-white liquid with a strong alcoholic smell shot out.
Zhao Qinghe’s eyes lit up. He tapped his finger lightly and drew the liquid toward him.
The wine circled and swirled in the air.
As it spun, drops of silver-white wine gathered into pearl-like beads.
Together, the liquid pearls looked extremely beautiful.
Zhao Qinghe took a deep breath excitedly.
Then, they landed lightly and beautifully in his mouth.
“Good, good, good. It’s actually Taifeng Wine!”
“It’s excellent!”
After Zhao Qinghe finished drinking, he closed his eyes and indulged for a moment.
Then his cheeks turned red, and he cheered loudly.
Before Jiang Lin could ask a word, Zhao Qinghe told him everything. He did not leave out details such as Chen Jingzhai’s performance in Feiliu Valley and sending Lin Feiyang and Feng Liuyun out of the secret zone. Of course, he also brought up how Chen Jingzhai had to break through the Restrictions of the immortal abode.
By the time Jiang Lin knew what had happened, he had already followed Zhao Qinghe to the immortal abode.
The palace was simple and magnificent, majestic, and overflowing with spiritual light.
Even Jiang Lin could not help but be shocked. He took a sip of the wine excitedly.
“So it’s Wine Celestial Jiang. Bring out the wine!”
Chu Jingsong sensed Jiang Lin and immediately ran over happily. Even Zhou Yuanhao, Xiao Yan, and the others were alerted.
Jiang Lin’s peach-blossom eyes looked at the group of fellow disciples who were like robbers.
He only said, “I want a share of the benefits from breaking this Restriction.”
“As long as there’s wine!” Sun Changrong heard the commotion and walked out with a smile.
“Exactly!” echoed Li Yifei.
“With Junior Brother Sun’s words, there will be wine to drink!” Jiang Lin smiled.
With that, the lacquered red wine gourd flew from his waist.
He did not chant a spell, but the gourd floated and expanded to 30 feet.
Upon closer inspection, the wine gourd was unusually exquisite. The large and small arcs were extremely fluid. The red lacquer also seemed to be natural. In the middle of the gourd, copper coins were bound on the red string. They looked like pendants. If you looked closer, you would realize that it was a jade pendant with a copper coin hanging from it.
Before the cork could escape, there was the sound of waves splashing in the gourd. The sound was a little dull, but the rhythm was extremely strange. When the plug was opened, a stream of spring water spewed out, and then the spring water scattered in the air as if invisible hands were holding them back. However, the spring water seemed to be endless. Under the constant spraying, it became a stream.
The stream was not silvery white like before. Instead, it was colorful and extremely gorgeous. It was even brighter than a rainbow. The stream started at the mouth of the gourd and flowed around it before returning to the gourd.
When Chu Jingsong saw that the stream was about to return to the gourd, he laughed and stepped out first. He opened his mouth and swallowed. The red wine flowed vertically down the stream, filling him.
Jiang Youning also ran over and took out his sword.
After the sword light diffused, the green wine was directly attracted over. He raised his head and drank. He was a little impatient and was soon surrounded by the smell of alcohol.
Zhou Yuanhao did not miss it, but Xiao Yan was clearly faster. He stood directly under the wine. He breathed in and immediately drank the wine, and the khaki-colored wine made his face turn red.
When Sun Changrong, Li Yifei, and Zhang Kui saw this, they all made their moves.
For a moment, the wine floating in the air was divided.
Everyone was soon drunk.
Even the robes that were spiritual items could not withstand the smell of alcohol.
The first to wake up was Zhao Qinghe. His eyes were filled with emotions, but he did not disturb anyone.
After about five minutes, the rest of the people woke up one after another.
“Good wine!” Chu Jingsong exclaimed. “It’s actually hero blood. So I drank it a second time.”
The wine of the Wine Celestial lineage always had a unique flavor. It was unforgettable every time.
This was the second time he had drank hero blood, but it was still more memorable than the first time.
“This is a new brew after entering the secret manual. There’s a lot of it,” Jiang Lin said gently.
“If senior brother had come earlier, we would have been able to drink earlier. But, most importantly, Master-Uncle would have been able to drink too. What a pity.” Li Yifei shook his head. His eyes were still drunk.
“You say that.” Jiang Lin’s eyes were filled with disdain. “But when you discovered the cave residence, did anyone think of informing me? You only care about the spiritual liquid in my hand and don’t treat me as a friend!”
“It’s mainly because I couldn’t find you!” Sun Changrong smiled and asked, “How did you find this place?”
“I heard the news earlier and wasted time dealing with the demonic beasts. I thought that since the entry to this cave residence had been broken, you would have left,” Jiang Lin said. “In the end, I did not see you, so I came to take a look, only to find out that you did not leave.”
“I set up a formation,” Li Yifei said, frowning.
“So what if you blocked the entrance and set up a formation?” Jiang Lin smiled. “You’ve all drunk my wine. I use my wine as a talisman. Of course, it’s not difficult to track you.”
“I almost forgot that Wine Celestial Jiang majors in talismans.” Zhao Qinghe smiled.
Everyone laughed softly. For once, the atmosphere was harmonious.
Even a rough man like Zhang Kui revealed an honest smile.
“I was too late. So I let you guys get away with the opportunity,” Jiang Lin said gloomily.
“You only missed the previous opportunity, but you are just in time for the next opportunity!” Zhou Yuanhao smiled and said, “This wine was not a loss. Instead, you profited greatly!”
“Indeed!” Li Yifei nodded with a smile.
“I heard from Zhao Qinghe that Little Master-Uncle sent two people out of the secret zone?” Jiang Lin asked curiously.
“They’re merely people who don’t know their place and have bad intentions. There is nothing to hide about this,” Li Yifei snorted. “Senior Brother Jiang, you don’t have to pity them. Little Master-Uncle still knows his limits.”
