"Is this really… wine?"
Yang Xiao asked cautiously.
Unfortunately, the old man didn't answer. Instead, he just gave him a look of contempt.
As for Lu Fangliang, he was already dead drunk.
'Whatever. The worst this old man can do is play a prank on . He probably won't try to kill , or he wouldn't have given the Token.'
With that thought, Yang Xiao stopped hesitating. He raised the wine gourd and took a massive swig.
With that one swig, he would have downed at least half of a normal gourd.
Even so, Yang Xiao couldn't help but let out a drunken burp.
As the burp escaped, a terrifying surge of Greater Yang Essence Qi rushed out of his mouth.
Imdiately after, it was as if flas erupted from all over his body.
In an instant, Yang Xiao was a human torch.
Elder Long, however, was stunned.
He had, indeed, intended to prank Yang Xiao, but deep down, he also wanted to give him a little sothing.
After all, this wine was refined from the Great Sun Essence Qi he had drawn from the sun itself. It was incomparably precious. The reason Lu Fangliang's constitution was so strong was because he had drunk his wine before.
He originally thought that with this kid's cautious nature, he would probably only drink a tiny bit.
But he never expected this guy to be way wilder than that Lu Fangliang kid, downing more than half the gourd in one go. Even though he had plenty more in stock, losing this much still made Elder Long's heart ache.
But no matter how much it pained him, his first thought was still to save Yang Xiao.
No kidding.
How could he possibly be fine after drinking so much at once?
What's more, the kid didn't even have a Greater Yang Body.
But just as he was about to intervene, he saw the flas on Yang Xiao's body vanish in a flash, as if they had been absorbed by sothing.
He froze for a mont.
But Yang Xiao simply picked up the wine gourd and took another huge swig.
As he drank, he thought, 'This stuff is amazing! Not only did it refine my entire body, making it more suitable for the True Greater Yang Fire, but it can also strengthen my Heaven and Earth Origin Fla. Just one mouthful is worth an entire Ancient Spirit dicine. This is incredible. I have to drink a few more.'
However, after he tilted it back for another swig, his hand suddenly felt light.
The wine gourd was gone.
Before him, there was only a scruffy old man with a pained expression, looking at him strangely.
"What? Not letting drink anymore? So stingy!"
Yang Xiao grumbled.
Elder Long, however, was about to explode with anger.
This kid was an absolute freak.
Not only could he pass the 6th Layer, but he could also chug two mouthfuls of his wine—each one at least half a gourd—and be completely fine. Even for a worldly and knowledgeable existence like himself, he was utterly speechless.
Yes, and his heart ached.
"Hurry up, grab Little Thirteen, and get the hell out of my sight!"
After cursing, Elder Long clutched his wine gourd and transford into a Divine Dragon.
He then returned to the top of the Rising Dragon Tower.
Seeing the old fellow's stingy deanor, Yang Xiao curled his lip, but his heart was filled with utter delight.
His gains this ti were truly imnse.
Not only had he obtained the first six layers of the Greater Yang Secret Pattern, but he also got thirteen Greater Yang Spirit Fruits. On top of that, he had just drunk two huge mouthfuls of the old man's wine.
This was a truly massive windfall.
'I really have Lu Fangliang to thank for this. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have had this opportunity. It seems I got the better end of the deal by teaching him the Fla Emperor Divine Fist. If I have the chance in the future, I must repay this huge favor.'
Yang Xiao scooped up the drunken Lu Fangliang.
He felt like he was holding a cooked prawn; the man's body was constantly radiating heat.
Anyone else would probably be afraid to even touch him.
But who was Yang Xiao?
The forr Supre Divine King. Even now, with the Heaven and Earth Origin Fla inside him, not even wine brewed from Great Sun True Essence could burn him.
Besides a few limited types of fire, Yang Xiao truly feared no fla.
As for those few types, the most powerful was the True Greater Yang Fire.
And the True Greater Yang Fire was what Yang Xiao was currently cultivating.
Therefore, it could be said that any other fla was a trivial matter before Yang Xiao.
Otherwise, would he have dared to drink that wine like that just now?
He would have had to have a death wish.
'After I get back, I need to go into seclusion to consolidate my gains. This guy, too… after drinking so much, who knows when he'll wake up.'
Yang Xiao glanced at the dead-drunk Lu Fangliang.
He was a little speechless.
In about half a month, the Nine Sects Grand Competition would begin.
If he couldn't wake up, then Yang Xiao would have to go alone.
'I hope you wake up in ti.'
Yang Xiao took Lu Fangliang back to his residence and then returned to the Reception Hall.
There, Yang Zhentian and the others were already waiting anxiously.
Lu Fangliang's earlier frantic appearance had terrified them.
Now, seeing Yang Xiao return unhard, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
And Yang Xiao, seeing how much they cared for him, was also very moved.
He took out the Magical Artifacts he had refined over the past half-month.
This ti, he had refined many Magical Artifacts. Aside from the armor, which consud the most materials, there were enough other weapons and protective accessories for everyone to have one, with so to spare.
Yang Xiao gave the extras to Yang Zhentian.
At the sa ti, he had Yang Zhentian and Yun'Er promptly bind themselves to the armor.
The Magical Artifacts this ti were all of high value.
They were all at the level of Ultimate-Grade Magical Artifacts.
Much stronger than before.
Especially the armor; it was the fruit of Yang Xiao's painstaking effort, a Peak Ultimate-Grade Magical Artifact that could be promoted to a Spirit Weapon in the future. Naturally, Yang Xiao cared a great deal about it.
After finishing all this, Yang Xiao went into seclusion.
He needed to comprehend the Second Layer of the Greater Yang Secret Pattern to make the True Greater Yang Fire within him even stronger.
At the sa ti, he now had the Greater Yang Spirit Fruits.
His cultivation also needed to be raised.
He believed that when he erged again, his strength would be on a completely different level.
「Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.」
Yang Xiao opened his eyes.
'I've finally comprehended the Second Layer of the Greater Yang Secret Pattern, and I've more or less absorbed those two mouthfuls of wine. It's just a pity there wasn't enough ti. Otherwise, I could have used the Greater Yang Spirit Fruits to break through to the Early-Yellow Fla Peak, or even the Mid-stage Yellow Fla.'
Yang Xiao sighed softly.
There really was too little ti.
The Second Layer of the Greater Yang Secret Pattern had already consud a great deal of his ti.
It took him a full ten days to comprehend it completely, and that was only because he had five Inheritance Seeds in his body. If he only had one, heaven knows how long it would have taken.
After he finished his comprehension, the grade of Yang Xiao's True Greater Yang Fire instantly rose to the peak of the Upper Eighth Grade, just a hair's breadth away from the Seventh Grade.
If Yang Xiao's cultivation could advance further, allowing him to imprint even more powerful Secret Patterns of the Heaven and Earth Origin Fire and the Nine Yang Secret Pattern, his True Greater Yang Fire could instantly reach the Seventh Grade.
At that ti, Yang Xiao's strength would definitely rise to another level.
Of course, even now, his strength was more than enough.
His Physical Strength had been tempered, more than doubling from an ordinary hundred Flood Dragons to around two hundred and forty—almost reaching the level he had when he previously used the Vajra Indestructible Divine Technique.
And now, if he used the Vajra Indestructible Divine Technique, his strength would be even greater, likely reaching about six hundred Flood Dragons.
When fully unleashed, it would be at least six or seven thousand Flood Dragons of power, with a limit approaching the might of nearly twenty thousand Flood Dragons—absolutely terrifying. If he were to face Zhenkong Ancestor again, this Physical Strength alone would probably be enough to give him a world of trouble.
Not to ntion his True Greater Yang Fire, which had been elevated to the peak of the Upper Eighth Grade, was even more frightening.
Yang Xiao's current strength was simply terrifying.
"Xuan Tianzhan, this ti, I'd like to see if you can still force to flee!"
With a cold snort, Yang Xiao stood up.
He walked toward the True Inheritance Hall where Lu Fangliang was.
