1190 Prophecy Back Then (2) When the old man took out the pot of wine, Tang Man and the sage-like man were so shocked that they could not maintain their composure. They were first stunned, then immediately leaned over and smelled the pot of wine even more carefully. “This is… the smell of life force.” “What pure life force. Even a little is extraordinary.” “Old drunkard, where did you get this wine?” “Could this be the wine that that girl Fanxin gave you?” Tang Man suddenly recalled what had happened previously. Previously, he did not believe it. He did not believe that this old drunkard would take out the Gradeless Extreme Spirit Art just because of a few pots of wine. Now, it seemed like he really believed it. Forget about this old drunkard, even he was willing to pay any price to exchange for such wine. The old drunkard covered the wine in his hand and put it away, looking like he was afraid of it being snatched away. “This is my wine alone. Don’t even think about snatching it from me. You’re not allowed to take a sip. Not at all.” Tang Man and the sage-like man were about to open their mouths to have a taste, but before they could speak, they were blocked by the old drunkard. They knew the old drunkard’s stingy personality very well. Forget about taking a sip of such a good wine, they could forget about getting even a drop from him.
They had no choice. No matter how much they wanted to drink it, they had to bear with it. After all, that wine was equivalent to the old drunkard’s lifespan and was very important.
After the old drunkard hid the wine, he was still worried that Tang Man and the other two would snatch his wine, so he decided to change the topic. “I think the person the old swindler asked us to wait at the Five Elements Academy for is that girl.” Tang Man thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. “Xue Fanxin is indeed different from anyone else that has come before. Ignoring everything else, just her talent is shocking enough. She has a talent with 100% purity. Such talent is extremely rare even in the Divine Realm. Up to now, I only know of one person who has such talent, and that is the Nine Nether King of the Nine Nether Holy Land.” “With just talent, we can’t be sure that she’s the person we’re waiting for, so we shouldn’t jump to conclusions too early,” the sage-like man said with suspicion. Without real evidence, he didn’t want to be so certain, nor did he want to be so absolute. What if there was a mistake? The old drunkard said angrily, “Qing Gu, do you still have hope for that Dragon Star and Phoenix Star? Don’t be naïve. The two of them are almost 50 years old now. Their intrinsic guardian divine beasts have yet to awaken. From the looks of it, I’m afraid they don’t even know about their intrinsic guardian divine beasts. I once said clearly that the true Dragon Star and Phoenix Star’s intrinsic guardian divine beasts will definitely awaken before the age of 18.” Tang Man agreed with the old drunkard again. “That’s right. The pair of Dragon and Phoenix Stars rumored in the five continents and ten regions are fake. They won’t be the people we’re waiting for, so there’s no need to waste time on them.” “Perhaps it’s because the Divine Beast awakened a little late?” Qing Gu still did not want to come to a conclusion; he was still hesitating and feeling suspicious. “Alright, alright, alright. I know you have a lot of hope for that Dragon Star and Phoenix Star, but I advise you not to have too much hope, because the higher the hope, the greater the disappointment. Anyway, I no longer think that the Dragon Star and Phoenix Star are the people we’re waiting for. However, now is not the time to talk about this. The old swindler said that as long as we wait patiently in the Five Elements Academy, we’ll definitely be able to wait for the dragons and phoenixes to appear. Now, I don’t care about any dragons or phoenixes. I only hope to live longer, so I’ll follow that girl Xue Fanxin during this period of time. You can do whatever you want.”
