The crowd turned silent when they heard the booming voice. Liu An's expression changed when Ren Qian appeared on the stage.
" Se-Senior Ren, You ca out?"
" Huh?"
" Who is he?"
So of the old geezer's eyes narrowed when they saw Ren Qian. " Old Ren, You are still alive, huh?"
" What? You guys are still alive and kicking, and you want to sleep in a coffin?" Ren Qian snorted.
Although Ren Qian talked with the old seniors, most of the people didn't know Ren Qian at all.
" But according to the rules, One party can only serve one type of wine. If one person serves more than one wine, wouldn't it be disadvantageous to others?"
Long Ming turned around his head and saw it was the Green Cloud Sect who made a fuss in Eternal Spring Tower because of cosplaying dress worn by the courteseans.
" Well, This is Wine Gathering after all. If soone is serving a better wine, do we need to stop him?" Ren Qian spoke. " Rules are dead, but people are alive after all."
" Besides, Why not give him a chance to explain?"
Long Ming laughed lightly and nodded. " Well, The esteed elders, I hava e small questions for you."
" Your precious spirit wines, will you let it drunk by a mountain buffalo?"
" What?"
All of the old geezers beca stunned when they heard the question. " Why the hell I would let a mountain buffalo drink my precious wine."
" Hmph, I wouldn't even let my son drink more than a few cup, let alone a lowly beast."
" Why is that?" Long Ming asked.
" Why would we?" A middle aged man looked at Long Ming and snorted. " It would be a waste of our wine. How could an ordinary beast will able to understand the intent of a spirit wine? Giving such precious wine to a buffalo is the sa as casting pearls before swine."
" Well, Then all the esteed elders, If I give wine to people who couldn't understand its value or intent, wouldn't be the sa as giving spirit wine to a mortal ox?" Long Ming spoke. " Without knowing the history of our wine, how can fellow daoists enjoy it?"
" Therefore, We are serving another wine to give the best experience to all the cultivators present here."
Long Ming's voice was loud and imposing as his dress fluttered in the wind. His voice wasn't assertive at all, but many of them could feel the weight of his words.
Ren Qian flung his sleeves. " Anyway, I am just here to taste wine. Even if they don't drink, I will drink. Hurry up, Brat! And serve ."
Long Ming cupped his fist and bowed. " Very well."
Suddenly, another row of girls walked forward, holding a different vase of wine. If the Song of Sumr and Winter presented with a vase of flaming leaves and desolate blizzard patterns, this new wine was served from a vase with autumn leaves and spring blossoms.
The mont all the girls unsealed the vase, a gentle wind of wine appeared, mixed with the light sll of dry autumn wind and the sll of earth. But the next mont, they felt the flowers in the surrounding blooming as the fragrance of spring's arrival also appeared.
" This wine is called the Joy of Autumn and Spring." Long Ming spoke with a light smile. " As everyone felt the heat of sumr and coldness of winter, now it's your turn to feel the gentle autumn and joyous spring."
When the disciples of Four Seasons Valley poured the wine, everyone felt the aroma of Joy of Autumn and Spring spreading across the entire place.
" Such rich true qi…Has ti accumulated the true qi throughout the years of ferntation?"
" This wine even managed to create a natural phenonon. I can't believe Four Seasons Valley had such treasure."
An old man drank a cup of wine and closed his eyes.
" Haah… This feels even more exquisite after drinking the Song of Sumr and Winter. I can roughly feel the presence of four seasons in my body."
" Indeed, It got the nourishing property of both true qi and spiritual qi. My mind is getting cleared after drinking both wines."
Ren Qian drank the wine in one go and slamd the cup on the table." Here, Give another cup!"
Long Ming gave a coy smile. " As far as I know the rules, Everyone can only have one cup of wine, no?"
" Fuck the rules!" Ren Qian shouted. " Didn't I break the rules and let you serve the Joy of Autumn and Spring? Now, Give so extra."
" Old Ren! That's unfair!"
" If that's the case, I also want so of it!"
Long Ming laughed and looked at Luo Yingying and others. Thanks to wasting over a dozen of thousands High grade Spirit stones, The Heavenly Urn of Frozen Fla tempered the wine for thousand years inside it, making it a potent spiritual fluid.
" I think my bottleneck got loosened a bit."
" Indeed, I can feel that my form of spiritual qi got a bit faster."
The elders got another serving of wine. But no matter what, the two cups of wine were unable to sate their thirst.
" Junior Long, Are you planning to sell this wine? I am willing to purchase it."
" too. Just na your price."
" Well, Elders, I guess we can discuss it after the event ends." Long Ming gave a bow.
" What? Old Ren, Aren't you going to make a move?"
" Yeah, Why are you silent?"
Ren Qing's fingers were crossed before his face as he looked at Long Ming. " I am more interested in that wooden vase beside you. What is that?"
Suddenly, everyone's eyes narrowed when they saw a wooden vase beside Long Ming. Long Ming's grin turned wide when he heard that." Well, How should I say? This one…is neither for taste nor for sale."
"Heh, I knew it. You are saving the best stuff for all yourself, aren't you?"
Long Ming shrugged. " I believe the Song of Sumr and Winter and Joy of Autumn and Spring is already enough. But if elders insist…"
" But this wine, only honorable elders will able to drink it.
The mont Long Ming opened the wooden vase, the surround beca filled with four types of qi as the phenonon of four seasons appeared. Ren Qian took a sip and started to laugh out loud.
" Indeed, Indeed! This is really sothing that gives the taste of Four Seasons Valley."
" Such wine… How long it took to fernt? It blended four types of flavr so masterfully."
" Ugh… To think I will get intoxicated by a wine at this age."
" Haha! Yes! It got the spike!"
Long Ming gave a bow and walked down from the stage.
" Hey brat! Why don't you sell a jar of that wine!"
" I have so pills that can help you…"
Long Ming looked at the sky and laughed. " This is called the Four Seasons True Wine. This is the origin wine which got derived into Song of Sumr and Winter and Joy of Autumn and Spring."
" However, brewing it is much tougher. So, I can't say our sect elders will allow us to sell the wine."
" What a load of bullshit!"
" Lies!"
Long Ming shrugged when he heard that.? " I don't have much power in my hand."
" But before leaving the stage, I would like to show you sothing."
Everyone beca curious when they saw LongMingw having his finger. A bubble of wine floated out from the jar of Song of Sumr and Winter.
"Our sect produced this wine. So, we know quite a few things about this. For example…"
With a flash of crimson light, the Scarlet Yang Qi erupted from Long Ming's finger and fused with the blob of wine.'
" If we use extre temperature, the wine will show the trait of the opposite of it. Like, since I am heating it with my qi…"
The blob of wine beca icy blue as it radiated faint coldness. When Long Ming stopped using his Scarlet Yang Qi, the icy blue light faded, becoming a blend of fire and ice once again.
" But, This is... interesting this is…"
Long Ming took another glass and perford the sa experint. The mont the blob of wine turned faint blue, the Blissful Heaven Temple's disciples' expressions changed instantly.
" This wine also shows the sa traits." Long Ming smiled as he turned around. " And this one is called the Blossoming Emotions."
" As for what I wanted to prove… Unless so people deliberately didn't want to accept, the truth is bare and open before everyone."
" Junior Sisters, Let's go."
" Yes, Senior Brother."
All the female disciples of Four Season Valley gave a polite bow and followed Long Ming back. Many gazes followed their path as they sighed.
" Damn it, Although we tasted two wines, the last wine must be the king amongst them."
" Alas, he only served the honorable elders. But the scent...It was much better than Song of Sumr and Winter and Joy of Autumn and Spring."
" I wonder if he will really sell the wine."
Many people regretted not being able to drink the Four Seasons True Wine. But since Long Ming kept it a secret, they can only wait till the right ti to ask him about it.
" Senior Brother, You are so amazing!"
" You! You really prepared a new wine!"
" Hehe, I am sure we are definitely going to get a spot in the top five."
Long Ming looked at the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple who were gritting their teeth. People who supported their Blossoming Wine didn't look at them anymore.
But rather than them, they all tried to get wines from Four Seasons Valley Disciples.
" Just how much our strength has fallen that all the sects looking at us?" Long Ming sighed. " Not to ntion, Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Sects are definitely our enemies. Many old geezers are also thinking that they can suppress the Four Seasons Valley, huh?"
" Hmph, Not matter what, We will protect our sect." Luo Yingying spoke. " After all, We have you, Senior Brother."
" Haha, Is that so?" Long Ming gave an amused smile when he heard that.
Suddenly, a rich wood qi spread through the atmosphere as everyone looked at the stage. The natural energy of wood made the tree sway and the grass grew. Suddenly, a green antelope with vines and flowers on its horn appeared and soared to the sky.
" Such dense Wood qi!"
" Look! Isn't that Earthen Forest Antelope? Such phenonon…"
" This is an Immortal Wine! Such vitality and vigor... Just slling it will increase a mortal's lifespan by years!"
Wearing a shabby cloth, a young man held an ordinary gourd. " I brought wine for Liu Family. I won't be serving anyone but them."
