But when he reached the next door, he found an elderly man with a dignified demeanor. The noble aura he exuded left Long Chen stunned. That nobility came from deep within his soul, a kind of imperial aura.
Long Chen and Yu Qingxuan's hearts tightened. This was a person of great origin, possessing countless fortunes and yet willing to brew wine here.
Although the old man had the aura of an emperor, his tone was gentle as he invited the two into the room and served fine wine.
Long Chen took a sip of wine and immediately felt a vast sense of slaughter piercing his soul. At that moment, he seemed to see a hero clad in armor wielding a spear, frantically slaughtering powerful enemies.
Corpses piled like mountains, rivers of blood flowed. He led endless warriors, capturing cities and territories, quelling the chaos, and establishing immortal achievements.
His heart was filled with great pride; though he was old and his mood had gradually calmed, his spirit still could not be concealed in his wine.
Long Chen sighed, "The world is fated by our generation. Once we enter the martial world, time rushes by. Amid the imperial ambitions and hegemony, we laugh and chat, unable to beat the drunkenness of life!" Back
in the mortal realm, Long Chen had heard this poem and felt it was full of heroic spirit, especially fond of it.
Now, after drinking this senior's wine, I can't help but recite this poem, feeling as if it was written for him.
"Hahaha, what a fine poem, what a poem! Young man, what a witty writer! What a grand imperial ambition and a laughing conversation—life is truly intoxicating." The old man laughed like thunder, making all paths tremble.
"Senior, you flatter me. This poem wasn't written by me; it must have been written by a hero like you." Long Chen shook his head.
This person has a remarkable background, having weathered great storms and seen the world's prosperity, yet never indulged in it. Ultimately, he comprehended the true meaning of life, chose his own path, was passionate about brewing wine, and lived carefree. This was a kind of transcendence, and Long Chen was still a hundred thousand miles away from this realm.
"Hahaha, no matter what you do, if you can grasp the charm of poetry and taste the emotions in my wine, that proves we're kindred spirits. Come, little brother, let's have a toast." The old man said with heroic spirit.
Previously, his aura had been somewhat restrained, but now, in his joy, the emperor's might was unconsciously released. Yu Qingxuan immediately felt her soul begin to tremble, and she couldn't help but be shocked. What kind of cultivation level did this person have?
Long Chen was completely unfazed by the emperor's authority. He cheerfully toasted with him, and the two drank it all in one go, exchanging glances and bursting into laughter.
The more they talked, the more they hit it off. What shocked Yu Qingxuan most was that as they talked about the art of wine, a fierce killing intent surged. Looking out the window, it seemed as if the weather was about to change.
The two discussed everything from the way of wine to martial arts, from martial arts to the way of heaven, covering all aspects of knowledge. Long Chen could answer fluently, and the more they talked, the more excited they became. In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, they had already finished thirty jars of fine wine.
After drinking thirty jars of fine wine, Long Chen suddenly felt the world spinning, then he leaned to the side and immediately fell asleep.
Seeing that Long Chen couldn't hold his liquor, the old man laughed heartily, drank three more big bowls of wine himself, then turned to Yu Qingxuan and said, "
You're Dongfang Zichu's disciple, aren't you?"
"You know my master?" Yu Qingxuan exclaimed in surprise.
The old man said, "You could say we know each other. Is he good to you?" "
My master has always treated Qingxuan as his own." Yu Qingxuan hurriedly said. Judging by the tone, this man was actually of the same generation as her master, which made her even more respectful.
Dongfang Zichu is a Divine Venerable realm expert, having lived for countless years. In the Da Luo Star Domain, everyone knows him.
Yu Qingxuan came from the Yantian Divine Sect, a sect renowned for its dual alchemical and fire mastery. Many of its disciples cultivated both alchemy and fire, which is almost forbidden in the mortal realm, but in Yantian Divine Sect, it was nothing special.
Therefore, disciples of the Yantian Divine Sect are both alchemists and fire cultivators. Moreover, their combat power is terrifying. In the Da Luo Star Domain, the Yantian Divine Sect is the top-tier sacred land, known to all.
The sect leader of the Yantian Divine Sect is Dongfang Zichu, who is the founding ancestor of the Yantian Divine Sect. This sect, with tens of millions of years of history, still has only one sect leader.
This Dongfang Zichu was like a divine dragon whose head was elusive; people had only heard of his great name, but almost no one had ever seen him.
Dongfang Zichu had only accepted four disciples in his lifetime, and that was tens of millions of years ago. His disciples never reached the Divine Sovereign level, and in the end, all perished.
For tens of millions of years, Dongfang Zichu never accepted any disciples again. But in this generation, Yu Qingxuan was discovered. This powerhouse, who had been dormant for countless years, was moved and accepted a fifth disciple, Yu Qingxuan, who is said to be the last disciple.
The last disciple of a Divine Venerable realm expert holds such a highly respected status. So, with this halo, no one dares to disrespect Yu Qingxuan.
If it weren't for the special nature of the Chaotic Star Sea, Yu Qingxuan wouldn't have needed any guards at all, because no one dared to touch her.
Although Yu Qingxuan was Dongfang Zichu's disciple, she had only met her master three times in her life.
Every time they met, Dongfang Zichu would ask about her cultivation, see if she had encountered any bottlenecks, and answer some of Yu Qingxuan's questions.
Although they had only met three times, for Yu Qingxuan, who had lost both her free parents, this was already a tremendous grace. She was deeply grateful to Dongfang Zichu, and even regarded him as her own father deep in her soul.
After hearing Yu Qingxuan's words, the old man nodded and said nothing more. Instead, he asked about Yu Qingxuan's cultivation status and offered some guidance, which benefited her greatly. She was deeply grateful to this elder who possessed the aura of an emperor.
After a while, Long Chen woke up and smiled awkwardly, saying, "Kid, my apologies. Senior, you really have a lot of alcohol to drink." Long
Chen's tolerance for alcohol was astonishing. It was the first time he had been knocked down at the table. This old man's drinking was so domineering that even his own tolerance couldn't handle it.
The old man smiled slightly: "You're already very impressive. I thought you'd sleep for a whole day and night, but I didn't expect you to sober up in just an hour. It seems your physical body is even stronger than I expected."
This girl is a kind and good girl. You must protect her well. "
The old man suddenly blurted out this sentence, and Yu Qingxuan blushed instantly. Long Chen was also stunned, not understanding the old man's meaning, but still said solemnly, "I will protect her well. Anyone who harms her must step over my corpse." "
Alright, this is the true spirit a real man should have. Today, I won't keep you any longer. I'll give you all my little bit of money!" The old man smiled and took out jars of fine wine from his own—hundreds of jars.
Long Chen laughed heartily and didn't stand on ceremony. This old man's wine was truly the finest among wines, priceless and priceless. The domineering aura within the wine could cleanse the soul, and the benefits to cultivation were immeasurable.
After thanking the old man, Long Chen left with Yu Qingxuan. The old man watched their backs, and the smile on his face slowly faded, replaced by a grave expression.
