The several Elders guarding the five Pagodas were stunned when they saw the person in front of the Sect Leader, and immediately stepped forward to greet them.
“Greetings, Ancestor.”
The man said with a gentle smile: “No need.”
He walked to the seat in front of the crystal ball and sat down, then glanced at Lou Mu Yan who had just passed to the seventh floor of the Smithing Pagoda.
“So she’s the little girl who has passed through the seventh floor of the Talisman Pagoda, Array Pagoda, and Alchemy Pagoda?” The man said slowly.
“Yes.” The Elder of the Smithing Pagoda replied: “She stayed in the Smithing Pagoda longer than the other three Pagodas. I originally thought that she would stop at the sixth floor, but I didn’t expect her to reach the seventh floor.”
The several Elders had calmed from the shock and varying emotions, composure gradually arriving after disbelief. They had become numb to Lou Mu Yan’s miracles.
The man nodded, and no emotion could be seen in his deep eyes, but his gaze didn’t leave the crystal reflection for a moment.
Half a month later.
“Ancestor, I have here a pot of Spiritual Wine brewed by this girl, would you like a taste?” Ao Rong knew that Ancestor Yu Chan might not be as calm as he appeared.
To think this incident actually alarmed this unpredictable, mysterious Ancestor Yu Chan—he naturally wanted to establish a better image for Lou girl.
Ancestor Yu Chan looked at Ao Rong with a half-smile and said: “Then let’s try it.”
He took the jug that Ao Rong took out and poured out a glass. The fragrant aroma of wine overflowed in the stone house in an instant.
“High-Quality Blood Sac Wine.” Ancestor Yu Chan questioned, took a sip from the cup, then his calm eyes revealed some light, “Not bad.”
Ao Rong’s smile was like a daisy—it wasn’t easy for Ancestor Yu Chan to say ‘not bad’.
“What, this Blood Sac Wine was actually brewed by that little girl?” The Elder of the Alchemy Pagoda looked at Ao Rong in surprise, “Really?”
Ao Rong rolled his eyes at him and said: “Do I dare to deceive Ancestor?”
What a joke, if he fooled Ancestor Yu Chan with Spiritual Wine brewed by others, he would definitely be miserable.
Although this old fellow’s appearance had the demeanour of a transcendent being, but if he really wanted to toy with someone, then that person would definitely rather die than live.
“Ao Rong, you’ve done a good job. If such a talented pupil was taken by another Sect, then it will definitely be the biggest loss of our Eight Extremes Sect.” Ancestor Yu Chan sipped the Spiritual Wine and thought that this fellow, Ao Rong’s eyes, were truly sharp and vicious.
Ao Rong knew that Ancestor Yu Chan was complimenting him for doing a good job at digging the walls of the others, and said with a proud smile: “You should’ve seen the ugly expressions of those old things of the other Sects. This old man couldn’t resist smiling wide at the time.”
The several Elders couldn’t bear to look directly at his face, but they couldn’t help but admit that this old fellow was indeed good at digging.
Ancestor Yu Chan smiled lightly, but his expression was filled with joy. He suddenly began to look forward to seeing, during the Six Major Sect’s competitions, whether those damned old things would be detrimentally angered when they saw Lou Mu Yan’s performance.
“Ancestor, it’s boring for you to drink alone, why don’t we join you.”
The Elder of the Alchemy Pagoda was also a winemaker himself, but his winemaking skills were very poor. However, being an alcoholic, he could only go to the Steam Reflection Restaurant to buy their limited Spiritual Wines.
This Blood Sac Wine hooked up all his cravings. Earlier, Ao Rong didn’t want to take more out to drink no matter what, so now he wanted to drink the wine from Ancestor Yu Chan, regardless of his face.
The several other Elders also agreed with a smile and wanted a share.
“This is Ao Rong showing respect to this old one. Wouldn’t it be a waste of his thoughts if I gave it to you all to drink?” Ancestor Yu Chan glanced at the several people lightly.
These old things wanted to share a drink, no way.
As an Ancestor of the Eight Extremes Sect, he could naturally drink Spiritual Wine all year round, but such sweet and pure Blood Sac Wine was very rare. It was just a pity that its level was still a little low. If it was one level higher, then it would definitely be beneficial to his cultivation.
“Ao Rong, bring out another jug of wine, and I’ll exchange it with you for Grade 5 pills.” The Elder of the Alchemy Pagoda smacked his lips and said.
Ao Rong shrugged helplessly, “The last jug was just given to Ancestor. When little Lou girl comes out later, you can go exchange it with her.”
This wasn’t a lie. Lou Mu Yan gave him more than a dozen jugs of wine, but now he only had two jugs left. This time, he had contributed it all after coming to this Secret Area, and his heart also ached.
It was just that he could use this reason to get more Spiritual Wine from Lou Mu Yan in the future.
“Then do you have any other Spiritual Wines.” The Elder of the Alchemy Pagoda asked, unwilling to give up.
Although he wanted to drink Blood Sac Wine, but he didn’t dare ‘snatch food from a tiger’—from Ancestor Yu Chan.
Ao Rong thought about it, then took out two jugs of Honey Spiritual Fruit Wine and said: “This is Honey Wine Lou girl gave. It’s said that it could be used to beautify and nourish one’s appearance, so I just kept it and didn’t drink it.”
When he heard the words ‘beautify and nourish appearance’, he had no interest in this Honey Wine. Why did he, an old, rough man, need to take care of his appearance for?
The several Elders couldn’t help but twitch the corners of their lips after hearing it was to take care of one’s appearance. They, as old bones, didn’t need such effects, but it was better to have Spiritual Wine than not, so the Elder of the Alchemy Pagoda picked up a jug and poured a cup.
As soon as the wine was poured into the cup, the yellow transparent liquid was extremely pure, and the scent of wine instantly overflowed, even carrying a sweet fragrance.
Ancestor Yu Chan’s eyes deepened, and he put away the Blood Sac Wine, picked up the Honey Wine and poured a cup for himself. After taking a sip, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, “This actually turned out to be Spiritual Wine brewed from Century-Old Scarlet Bee Honey and numerous different types of Spiritual Fruits. Not bad.”
The Elder of the Alchemy Pagoda hurriedly took a sip from his wine cup, then he appeared as if he was drunk in happiness, “Good wine, good wine! This wine is of a higher grade than the Blood Sac Wine and the Century-Old Scarlet Bee Honey is good for improving our cultivation base. If we drink it regularly, we can even live longer.”
Seeing that the Elder of the Alchemy Pagoda was so enchanted, the other Elders and Ao Rong each poured a cup to drink, then their eyes all lit up.
After drinking a cup, Ao Rong immediately reached out to put away the remaining jug of Honey Wine, but Ancestor Yu Chan was a step ahead and put it away himself.
“This old man is very interested in the effect of this beauty enhancing wine, this jug of wine belongs to me.”
Ao Rong regretted until his intestines were green. He always just thought that this Spiritual Wine was for women, yet who knew that it could also prolong life and improve his cultivation base. If he had known it before, he wouldn’t have taken it out.
“Ao Rong, bring out two more jugs, don’t be so stingy!” The Elder of the Alchemy Pagoda saw that the remaining jug of wine was taken by Ancestor Yu Chan, so he didn’t dare ask for it and could only speak to Ao Rong.
Ao Rong rolled his eyes at him angrily, “No more. I only took two jugs when Lou girl said it could beautify one’s appearance.”
He was also very regretful right now! If he had known earlier, he would’ve asked for a few more jugs. No wonder he heard that that female tyrant dragon took good care of Lou Mu Yan—it was probably because she could drink this Honey Wine every day.
“…” Hearing him say that, the other Elders looked at him as if he had wasted something exceptionally precious; as if he was stupid.
“Enough now, if you want to drink wine, just wait for that little girl to come out and you can go exchange with her.”
With interest, Ancestor Yu Chan watched Lou Mu Yan come out of the Smithing Pagoda, turn, then walk into the Taming Pagoda.
