"Oh!
You know wine as well? "Elder Huyan let out a yelp of surprise and glanced at Han Li with an odd expression.
"I wouldn't dare to say that I know wine, but I know a thing or two," Han Li said with a smile.
He didn't know much about wine to begin with. It was only when Sun Ke had dragged him to drink wine while they were crossing the Thunderstorm Ocean that Sun Ke knew a lot about all kinds of wine. He had been influenced by Sun Ke and learned a little.
Coincidentally, Sun Ke had invited him to drink the wine that this old man had poured for him.
However, he didn't feel as enlightened as he did today when he drank it.
"Good, good. I've always found you pleasing to the eye. I didn't expect you to be a kindred spirit. That's great.
Come, come, come. Drink with me. "Elder Huyan was overjoyed. He stood up and returned to his room.
When he came out again, he held seven or eight different wine pots and wine utensils in his hands. He placed them on the table as if he was counting his family treasures.
There were all kinds of wine pots and wine cups, but the wine cups had their own characteristics.
There were copper goblets, jade goblets, wooden goblets, stone goblets, golden goblets, and so on. Strange patterns were carved on each goblet. They weren't ordinary decorations, but looked like runes.
Han Li swept his gaze over them and discovered that each of these wine pots and wine utensils was a magic treasure. As for what they were used for, he didn't know.
Han Li's interest was piqued at the sight of the dazzling array of fine wine cups, and he asked with a smile, "Elder Hu Yan has brought out so many different cups. Could it be that every type of wine is paired with a specialized wine set?"
"Of course. As the saying goes, a good horse needs a good saddle. The way of drinking wine is the same!
If there is only wine, but no wine utensils, even the best wine will lose some of its flavor.
For example, this Green Pear Immortal Wine has a green color. It needs to be matched with a jade cup made of Sky Green Jade. This Red Mulberry Immortal Wine is famous for its fragrance. It needs to be drunk with a ten-thousand-year-old Ivy Cup. Only then will it be more fragrant … "Elder Huyan was beaming with joy as he talked about the wine utensils.
Han Li nodded and picked up the Red Mulberry Immortal Wine. He and Sun Ke had drunk this wine on the giant ship that crossed the sea.
After taking a small taste, his eyes immediately lit up.
The Red Mulberry Immortal Wine that he had drunk with Sun Ke was one of his personal treasures, and its quality was definitely not inferior to the one in front of him. However, this cup of wine was far more fragrant and fragrant than the one before him.
Han Li took another sip and savored it carefully. Soon, he discovered some clues.
The green vine cup faintly exuded the scent of ancient vines, which intertwined with the aroma of the wine, greatly enhancing the aroma of the wine.
"This Red Mulberry Immortal Wine is brewed from a thousand-year-old Red Mulberry Fruit. This fruit is a fire-type spirit material, and the Green Vine Cup contains wood energy. Using wood to generate fire, the wine's color is greatly enhanced!" He showed an expression of admiration.
Although Elder Huyan's words were clear and logical, he was still skeptical. Only now did he believe that Elder Huyan's words were true.
"Not bad, not bad. Kid, you have good taste. Try this pot of Flowing Light Immortal Wine."
A hint of admiration flashed across Elder Huyan's eyes. He picked up a white wine pot and poured himself a cup of amber-colored wine.
In the following period of time, Han Li successively tasted a few types of fine wine. Sure enough, they were all rare fine wines.
Although he only knew a little about the Dao of Wine, he could be considered to be an extremely good listener. His humble and eager to learn caused Spiritual Master Huyan to nod repeatedly, and the expression of admiration in his eyes became even more intense.
These wines weren't ordinary wines. They could be considered to be Immortal Wines, and they were greatly beneficial to one's cultivation. However, Han Li was only at the Early Stage of the True Immortal Realm, after all. After drinking so much in succession, his Dantian was already filled with impurities, and he would probably have to spend a lot of time to completely refine them.
After he pondered for a moment, he immediately stopped drinking.
Elder Huyan, on the other hand, drank cup after cup, minding his own business and drinking happily. It was obvious that his cultivation base was much higher than Han Li's.
Han Li waited for a moment, and when he saw that Elder Huyan didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, he couldn't help but persuade, "Elder Huyan, can you rest for a moment? I still have something to report."
"Kid, you're really a killjoy. Alright, hurry up and fart." Elder Huyan glanced at Han Li and grunted before he sat up.
Han Li smiled apologetically, and then he withdrew a storage Magic Tool and passed it over.
"The Fire Origin Crystals that the Firecloud Ridge has mined for the last 10 years are all in there."
Elder Huyan received it and swept it with his Divine Sense before he tossed it to the side. He withdrew the azure jade book with a flip of his hand and started drawing on it.
"Elder Huyan, the sect seems to attach great importance to these Fire Origin Crystals. May I know what they can be used for?
Although they contain pure fire energy, they're very fragile, and they're greatly different from ordinary fire attribute ores. Instead, they're slightly similar to spirit stones. "Han Li glanced at the storage Magic Tool and asked in a seemingly casual manner.
"It's just a type of fuel used to refine Immortal Origin Stones," Elder Huyan answered without raising his head.
Han Li was stunned when he heard this, and then an astonished expression appeared on his face as he asked, "Refine Immortal Origin Stones … Do I need to use these Fire Origin Crystals?"
Elder Huyan raised his head to look at him, and asked in a somewhat puzzled manner, "Don't you know about the Nine Revolutions Immortal Origin Array?"
"Nine Revolutions Immortal Origin Array?" Han Li revealed a puzzled expression.
He really didn't know this name.
"Oh, you should have just joined our sect not long ago, right? Where are you from?" Elder Huyan looked at Han Li from head to toe and asked.
"Elder is wise. I have just joined the sect for less than 100 years, and I was born on a remote island in the Wasteland Continent," Han Li said as he thought about it.
"No wonder. The Wasteland Continent is very remote, and indeed, very few people know about it.
As for this Nine Revolutions Immortal Origin Array, it's a famous Essence Gathering Array in the Northern Frost Celestial Realm. This array can condense the spiritual energy of 100 top grade spirit stones into one in a short period of time, and transform it into one Immortal Origin Stone, "Elder Huyan continued.
"So that's how it is. No wonder Immortal Origin Stones are so rare in the Wasteland Continent, but there seems to be a lot of them in the sect," Han Li took a deep breath and muttered.
"That's natural. How can a place like the Wasteland Continent compare to our Candle Dragon Path?" Elder Huyan said proudly.
As he spoke, he flipped his hand and put away the jade booklet. Then, he took the token of Elder Han Li and tapped it with his finger. Immediately, 180 merit points appeared on the token.
"Thank you, Elder Huyan!
I'll have to trouble Elder to spend some more time and assign me a task first. It won't be too late to slowly savor these fine wines later, "Han Li took the token and cupped his hands again.
"It's rare for me to be lazy, but you are so long-winded."
Elder Huyan glared at Han Li and took out the task booklet. After quickly flipping through a few pages, he stopped and raised his head to look at Han Li again.
He said, "You are in such a hurry to complete three tasks. Is it because you want to finish them quickly so that you can go back to cultivate?
Since that's the case, this task is suitable for you. It won't take long, just a few months. "
"What task is it?" Han Li was delighted when he heard this.
"If an inner court disciple wants to be promoted to a true disciple, he or she must pass a trial. Your task is also very simple. You just have to secretly escort some inner court disciples to participate in the trial of a true disciple," Elder Huyan explained.
"Secretly escort?" Han Li was startled.
"That's right.
Those inner court disciples must rely on their own strength to pass the trial. Under normal circumstances, they are not allowed to help.
However, there are many accidents in the trial. That's why one or two True Immortal elders are sent to secretly follow them, "Elder Huyan said.
"So that's how it is. I understand. When will this task begin?" Han Li nodded and asked.
"The timing is really coincidental. It will begin in three days.
When the time comes, go to the Chaoyang Hall. There will be someone there to inform you of the details, "Elder Huyan said while shaking his head.
"Alright. Thank you, Elder," Han Li said gratefully after a moment of silence.
Although this drunken, greedy old man had a harsh mouth, he was still quite good to him. The three tasks that he had arranged for him were not difficult at all.
Elder Huyan waved his hand and said, "There is no need to thank me. If you have the time in the future, just come and drink a few cups with me."
"Of course." Han Li smiled before rising to his feet to take his leave.
After leaving the room, he walked outside. When he passed by the yellow bean, he could not help but stop and look at it a few more times.
"What? You also know about Dao Soldiers?" Elder Huyan's voice rang out. He had unknowingly appeared behind Han Li.
Han Li was startled. Someone had gotten so close to him, but he had not noticed it.
However, when he turned around, his expression had already calmed down.
He said, "I have only heard a little about it. It seems that Elder Huyan is proficient in this Dao Soldier Art?"
"Of course. In terms of Dao Soldiers, if I admit that I am number two, no one in the Torch Dragon Path would dare to admit that they are number one!" Elder Huyan still had a drunken and hazy appearance. However, there was a hint of arrogance in his tone.
"I have always been very interested in Dao Soldiers. However, there are very few people who are proficient in it. I have no way to learn from them. I wonder if Elder could give me some pointers? I will definitely …" Han Li was overjoyed and cupped his hands.
"You want to learn my Dao Soldier Art?
No, no!
I will not teach you this. Don't even think about it. "Elder Huyan did not wait for Han Li to finish and immediately interrupted him. He shook his head vigorously.
"This … Elder, is there really no room for negotiation?" Han Li asked, unwilling to give up.
Elder Huyan was about to reject him. However, when he recalled the scene of the two of them drinking and chatting merrily, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
He said meaningfully, "Well … it's not completely out of the question.
I have two hobbies in my life. One is wine, and the other is this Dao Soldier Art. If you can find a better celestial wine recipe than the ones in my hands, it is not impossible to negotiate. "
He had collected and searched everywhere for countless years. In terms of fine wine, there were probably not many people in the entire Northern Frost Celestial Realm who could surpass him.
Han Li looked at Elder Huyan's confident face and sighed inwardly.
Although he did not know much about the Dao of Wine, he could tell that Elder Huyan was extremely proficient in it. Every single one of those celestial wines from before was an exceptional brew. Where could he find a better celestial wine?
It seemed that Elder Huyan really did not want to teach him the Dao Soldier Art.
Han Li took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Alright, I will definitely try my best to find it. I hope that Elder will not go back on your words when the time comes."
Although the chances were slim, he did not want to give up. At most, he would go to the Impermanence Alliance to issue a mission. It should not be difficult to spend a little more money.
"Hmph!
This old man always does what he says. Brat, there is no need to use this method of provocation. If you can really find the wine recipe, what harm is there in telling you the Dao Soldier Art? "Elder Huyan snorted and said.
