Xiu Yuan already raised his cup for a slow sip: "Hurry to digest it, don’t let the wine’s effect be wasted."
Jiang Wang then closed his eyes and circulated Path Origin. Under the slowly flowing power of the wine, the Sky-reaching Sea became increasingly clear, the Heaven and Earth Lonely Island in the Five Mansions Sea grew more stable. In the Star Sea, the Dao Veins like a soaring dragon meandered and swam...
He didn’t know how much time had passed, but when Jiang Wang opened his eyes, he felt both his body and soul were at peace, everything was smooth. This wine was truly a rare treasure, a cup of it could match a month of cultivation!
Xiu Yuan poured him another cup: "Drinking more of this wine has no effect, but only after its effect is gone can its flavor truly reveal. Have another taste."
This kind of supreme wine that could aid cultivation was invaluable.
Perhaps only a True Man of the Age like Xiu Yuan could afford to savor its taste once its extraordinary effects could no longer be felt.
At least, when Jiang Wang sipped a tiny bit, although the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth, he was still dwelling on the pleasure of its cultivation aid, trying to capture its potency, then feeling its enormous value with a heavy heart... Unable to feel much of its taste.
He set down the wine cup, letting out a deep sigh, "Jiang Wang is truly flattered." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"This is what you deserve." Xiu Yuan said casually, savoring the taste of the wine, "The older you get, the less you want to owe anything, especially something like human relationships... very hard to repay."
Back then, at the grandmaster’s ceremony, Jiang Wang’s argument "the ants should not regret" stopped the Son of Heaven’s anger, winning a lot of goodwill.
Like Imperial Court Adviser Yi Xingchen, who ultimately ticked Cui Zhu’s name, showed goodwill multiple times.
And Xiu Yuan was exactly the one who needed to repay the favor the most.
It’s just that he’d been confined at home, having neither the time nor the opportunity to meet Jiang Wang. They only met today at the Long Life Palace, and immediately waited outside the palace to "repay the debt."
Upon saying this, Jiang Wang immediately relaxed.
He sipped another mouthful of wine in the cup, this time actually able to enjoy some goodness... After all, Jiang Someone was also one who feared owing human relationships.
As the wine slipped down his throat, swirling around, Jiang Wang asked, "What is the name of this wine?"
"This wine is brewed by myself... It’s the last jar." Xiu Yuan shook the wine jar, listening to the sound of jade liquid, he said lightly, "It’s called ’Bending the Long Willow.’"
Bending the Long Willow, wishing for your long stay.
There must be a story behind this. Although Jiang Wang didn’t know the twists and turns in it, he tasted some complexity in the wine, involuntarily praising it, "Good name."
At this time, the carriage slowly stopped, yet the wine in the cup didn’t ripple. Xiu Yuan’s skill in driving the carriage was truly transcendental, far beyond Xie Ping’s driver who didn’t know where he came from.
Jiang Wang slightly blinked, severing these self-insulting thoughts. Comparing with the Nine Soldier Commander, it was also truly unreasonable...
Xiu Yuan held the wine jar, helped Jiang Wang fill the wine cup full, and then asked, "Do you know where this is?"
Of course Jiang Wang knew where this was.
Even without opening Voice Broadcast Immortal Style, his sensitivity to sound had long allowed him to capture the surrounding environment.
The boiling human voices, the crowd’s fervent emotions, tension, excitement, fright, cheering... and those cries of agony.
No doubt, it was an execution ground.
An execution ground where many criminals were being executed at the same time.
Among them was a True Man of the Age, named Yan Tu.
Xiu Yuan’s carriage stopped not far from the execution ground. Though crowded, the signboard of the Prisoner Electric Army managed to squeeze out a space.
But the car door did not open, nor the window.
Although Xiu Yuan’s carriage had come here, he seemed not intending to watch the process of execution.
Of course... as a True Man of the Age, if he wanted to see, few things could block his sight.
The tightly closed doors and windows were just like his shut eyelids.
"This is where the spies from the Equality Country are executed." Jiang Wang chose his words carefully.
There was a hint in his words to remind Xiu Yuan.
It was unclear whether Xiu Yuan understood, or if he even heard.
He only took a sip of wine, drank it slowly, as if intoxicated, then said, "I heard you like to read?"
Jiang Wang wanted to ask, who told you that?
Lacking the nerve to brag in front of a True Man of the Age, he awkwardly said, "Increasingly I feel my accumulation is insufficient, indeed I’ve recently been finding time to read... but not much."
"Have you read the ’Record of Foreign Beasts’?" Xiu Yuan asked.
"Never have..." Jiang Wang replied.
This was the first time he had heard of the book!
"... A book documenting various foreign beasts, the information is quite comprehensive." Xiu Yuan said, "Although many foreign beasts recorded there have already gone extinct, in some ways it also represents a piece of history and could help deepen your understanding of this world. Your God Arrives should have no problem, but if you want to achieve True Man, you must know more about this world. If there is a chance... you should read it."
Facing this young genius of Daqi, after all, he didn’t have the heart to say that it was just one of the basic readings under Jixuegong.
"Understood!" Jiang Wang straightforwardly nodded.
Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing. Lack of accumulation is an innate issue, not his fault, so there’s nothing to be ashamed of. He was still young, with a promising future, which he could fill with more effort.
"There is a kind of bird named Fuyu..." Xiu Yuan stroked the wine cup, sighing, "I always wanted to see it, but I have never found it. I suppose it might no longer exist."
"Is this bird powerful in its Divine Skills? Does it have any special killing methods?" Jiang Wang asked curiously.
