Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 741: Emissaries from Changhe Immortal Palace?
Seeing the shocked expression on The Saint of Eight Extremes, Ye Yun couldn’t help but laugh.
"This new Cultivation Technique opens up the ninth Divine Gate. Perhaps it should be renamed the Nine Extremes Divine Skill!"
"Master, you are truly too powerful..." The Saint of Eight Extremes took a deep breath, finally regaining his composure, and expressed his genuine admiration.
He had never imagined that a ninth Divine Gate could be opened within his body. Yet, he had given the Eight Extremes Divine Art to Ye Yun, and in just a few days, Ye Yun had not only comprehended it but had also upgraded the technique.
The upgraded Cultivation Technique was far more powerful than its predecessor.
Upon hearing Ye Yun’s words, Big Black Cat was so shocked it froze like a clay sculpture.
There’s actually a ninth gate? As expected of Master! He really is formidable. In just a few days, he upgraded the Eight Extremes Divine Art.
"Master, what is the name of this ninth Divine Gate?" Big Black Cat asked, its voice strained.
"Nine is the ultimate number in the calculus of change. This ninth Divine Gate, I have named it the Yi Gate. The Yi Gate is divided into Yin and Yang realms. By reaching this state, where one’s vital essence and blood continuously transform between Yin and Yang, one can achieve true invincibility!" Ye Yun said with a laugh.
"The Yi Gate... It is truly powerful!" Big Black Cat muttered to itself, its eyes filled with envy and jealousy.
Unfortunately, being a member of the Demon Clan, it couldn’t cultivate this.
"Little Kai! Now that you are a disciple of my Dragon God Sect, take these Spirit Stones and use them for now," Ye Yun said with a smile, casually tossing him a storage ring.
Needless to say, the ring was filled with Spirit Stones from the Divine Land.
The Saint of Eight Extremes understood instantly and hurriedly caught it. He extended a strand of his Divine Sense for a quick look inside. Upon seeing the mountain-like piles of Spirit Stones, his face flushed red with excitement.
"Alright, Ruyi and I are now heading to the Lu Clan. You two find a place to cultivate..."
After making the arrangements, Ye Yun gave his instructions. He then disembarked from the carriage with the Ruyi Jade Spider and slowly flew towards the main gate of Langya Mountain.
Upon arriving at the main gate, a disciple of the Lu Clan stopped Ye Yun.
"Halt! Do you two have an invitation?" a young man asked loudly.
Ye Yun simply said, "Yes."
He then gave the young man a casual glance. The youth visibly flinched, quickly stepped back, and gestured for them to enter.
Ye Yun entered with the Ruyi Jade Spider.
"Master, your Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye is truly formidable!" the Ruyi Jade Spider said admiringly.
"It’s decent enough!" Ye Yun chuckled, and the two quickly entered the Lu Clan’s estate.
Upon arriving at the registration desk, Ye Yun employed his old trick again, successfully deceiving everyone, and was subsequently assigned to a superior room.
After cultivating for a day, the next day arrived. It was the day of the wine brewing competition.
Ye Yun, along with numerous Wine Brewers from all over the Cangnan Continent, arrived at the grand square before the Sect Leader’s Main Hall.
"Master, there’s quite a crowd here!" the Ruyi Jade Spider looked around and said cheerfully.
Ye Yun nodded. The number of Wine Brewers participating in this competition was indeed substantial, numbering in the tens of thousands. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Those eligible to participate in the Lu Clan’s wine brewing competition were certainly not unknown individuals. And every participant coveted the Lu Clan’s recipe.
Overestimating yourselves! Do you worthless lot really think you can brew Nine Grades Shaohua? Looking at the excited faces all around, Ye Yun sneered inwardly.
"My apologies for keeping you all waiting..." Lu Zhenshan, accompanied by several Life and Death Realm Elders from the Lu Clan, including Lu Dayou, appeared before everyone.
"Greetings, Clan Leader Lu!" The Wine Brewers in the square cupped their fists and greeted him respectfully.
"This time, our Lu Clan is publicly sharing the recipe and process for the Nine Grades Shaohua. It is my hope that all you esteemed masters present can pool your wisdom and efforts to successfully brew the ninth grade of this Shaohua!" Lu Zhenshan clasped his fists together, speaking very courteously.
"Clan Leader Lu, rest assured! Currently, within the Lu Estate, the most formidable Wine Brewers from the entire continent are gathered. Such tremendous strength will undoubtedly be able to produce the ninth grade of this wine!" a white-haired Elder, stroking his long beard, declared with a confident laugh.
"I have faith in all of your abilities!" Lu Zhenshan also began to laugh. "The process and recipe for the Nine Grades Shaohua will now be distributed to each of you!"
After he finished speaking, an Elder from the Lu Clan standing behind him waved his hand. Countless small red slips of paper transformed into rays of light and floated towards the crowd in the square.
Everyone hurriedly received them. Upon seeing the process and recipe on the paper, the expressions on everyone’s faces changed to varying degrees.
"Such ingenious craftsmanship!" Someone gasped, muttering in awe, Truly worthy of a generation’s Wine Fairy!
Upon hearing someone praising Lu Linlang, Ye Yun also smiled. He picked up the red paper, took a casual glance, and then calmly put it away.
"We have prepared all the brewing ingredients for everyone. What comes next is up to all of you..." Taking in everyone’s expressions, Lu Zhenshan remained composed and spoke in a deep voice.
Following that, many Lu Clan disciples then strode in, carrying barrels of ingredients, and placed them on the ground.
The Lu Clan possessed a profound heritage; providing brewing ingredients for so many people was merely a drop in the ocean for them. The only truly precious ingredient was the spring water from the Peach Blossom Pond.
However, fortunately, since only a small vial of Nine Grades Shaohua needed to be brewed, the demand for the spring water was not excessive.
"Clan Leader Lu, rest assured, we will definitely brew the highest grade of Nine Grades Shaohua!" the crowd roared their agreement. Then, spirits high, they eagerly rolled up their sleeves and got busy.
Each person had different brewing methods. Regarding the process provided by the Lu Clan, some followed it strictly, while others chose their own unique approach. After all, many knew that when the Lu Clan themselves brewed according to this recipe and process, they had never managed to reach the highest grade.
Ye Yun picked up a small wooden keg, took some ingredients, and went through the motions with an air of expertise. He then covered it with a lid and began to wait silently.
After waiting for several Time Units, Ye Yun felt it was about time. He raised his hand and shouted, "Clan Leader Lu, I’ve finished brewing the Nine Grades Shaohua!"
"What? How could it be so fast?" Lu Zhenshan was patrolling the area with his hands behind his back when he suddenly heard Ye Yun’s voice. He spun around and hastily approached.
"It’s only difficult if you don’t know how; for those who do, it’s simple. What’s so hard about it?" Ye Yun said with a smile.
Lu Zhenshan frowned. At this moment, a feeling of aversion towards this white-robed young man welled up in his heart.
Isn’t this just shameless grandstanding? If it isn’t Nine Grades Shaohua when the lid is lifted, then don’t blame me, Lu Zhenshan, for being merciless!
WHOOSH!
With this thought, Lu Zhenshan abruptly lifted the lid from the wooden barrel.
The aroma of a mysterious wine instantly wafted out.
"This is..." Upon smelling this familiar yet strangely alien wine aroma, Lu Zhenshan’s eyes widened, and his heart seemed to stop beating for an instant.
If I’m not mistaken, this aroma... it’s the ninth-grade Nine Grades Shaohua! I’ve never smelled it before, but the Lu Clan managed to produce the eighth grade. The scent of that eighth grade is now mingling with the wine in this barrel, yet this wine also exudes a new, intoxicating fragrance. That’s why it feels so familiar, yet so foreign... my feelings are complicated.
Wisps of the wine’s fragrance drifted through his nostrils, seeping deep into his body. In that instant, Lu Zhenshan felt as if his very soul was about to take flight.
There was no doubt. This was indeed the ninth-grade Nine Grades Shaohua.
"How is it, Clan Leader Lu? Is this Nine Grades Shaohua?" A soft male voice suddenly drifted down from the sky.
A young man in white feathered robes, who had been airborne, slowly descended.
"Greetings, Emissary!" Seeing this young man, Lu Zhenshan’s expression changed dramatically. He immediately bowed deeply, his demeanor one of utmost respect.
An Emissary from the Changhe Immortal Palace? Ye Yun narrowed his eyes, his gaze, sharp as twin swords, fixing onto this Emissary.
