The atmosphere on the Spirit Boat was sowhat heavy.
Yu Zhiming, Jin Zhihang, and Lu Zhenyong, after witnessing Guo Shangdong’s true power, even Yu Zhiming, who had always been disdainful of Guo Shangdong, did not dare to be reckless. However, Yu Zhiming felt incredibly aggrieved; he looked at his right arm, where it was empty, the blood from the severed limb had been staunched.
After taking a deep breath, Yu Zhiming tried to keep his tone calm and asked, "Wine Drunk Senior, why did you let that mysterious corpse go?"
Jin Zhihang’s heart twitched; so many experts from the Jins of the Profound Continent died at once, and he asked unwillingly, "Wine Drunk Senior, why didn’t you act imdiately just now?"
Lu Zhenyong, with both arms gone, was in the worst mood of all. He too asked, "Wine Drunk Senior, why didn’t you lend a hand just now?"
Guo Shangdong, the Wine Drunk, twisted open the lid of his wine pot, poured a mouthful of fine wine into his mouth, and said drunkenly, "Why should I act? Why should the Wine Drunk act? Before coming here, I promised not to covet the treasure here, so I have no obligation to help you. I’ll act whenever I like; do you think my actions are wrong?"
Jin Zhihang and Lu Zhenyong’s faces flushed, unable to retort; indeed, Guo Shangdong was here to watch the spectacle, he had no obligation to help them.
As a Sect mber of the Central Continent, Yu Zhiming’s arrogance had not diminished up till now. Upon hearing Guo Shangdong’s response, his fury surged instantly, and he asked again, "Why did you let that mysterious corpse go?"
Guo Shangdong’s slightly squinted eyes opened wide again, he stared at Yu Zhiming and said, "Are you questioning ? If it weren’t for the appearance of that mysterious corpse earlier, you would’ve probably attacked , right? If you had attacked , you’d be a cold corpse now. One could say that this suddenly appearing corpse saved your life; is this how you treat your lifesaver, by wanting to annihilate them completely?"
Guo Shangdong’s gaze turned sharp, while Yu Zhiming’s heart skipped a beat, reaching a peak of anger, he lost control of his emotions, which prompted him to suppress his anger and forced a smile at Guo Shangdong, saying, "Wine Drunk Senior, I spoke out of turn just now. Please don’t mind , I never ant to attack you."
"Wine Drunk Senior, I need to treat the injuries within my body, so I won’t be staying with you here."
Upon Yu Zhiming’s indication of leaving, Jin Zhihang and Lu Zhenyong also expressed the need to tend to their wounds.
Yet, before leaving the third layer of the deck, Yu Zhiming and the others glared viciously at Xue Wanqing, Ye Chenfeng, and their group; Guo Shangdong with his Heavenly God Realm seventh Peak power was untouchable to them.
This ti, Yu Zhiming and company were truly aggrieved, with no outlet for their grievances. They dared not act against Xue Wanqing either, as they faintly sensed Guo Shangdong favored Xue Wanqing’s group.
Yet the anger was indigestible; Yu Zhiming took three Spiritual Extremity Pills, and without his right arm, even if the injuries within were healed, it would leave a shadow in his heart, with likely no advances in strength for years to co.
Although Jin Zhihang and Lu Zhenyong didn’t consu Spiritual Extremity Pills, just had their arms ruined, watching four disciples at Spirit God Realm’s seventh Peak and one disciple at Earth God Realm’s seventh realm die—this struck them greatly, impacting their Sect even more.
This ti, Jin Zhihang and Lu Zhenyong ca for the treasure, but ended up losing both the treasure and manpower.
Yu Zhiming and company directed their grievances entirely towards Qingyue Sect and Snow Moon Valley.
The truth is, Yu Zhiming bore no misguided hatred; the underwater treasure was orchestrated by Ye Chenfeng. Even the awakening of the mysterious corpse was due to Ye Chenfeng opening the Coffin of Death; it could be said that Yu Zhiming, Lu Zhenyong, and Jin Zhihang’s miseries were entirely caused by Ye Chenfeng.
Shortly after Yu Zhiming’s group departed, the Spirit Boat cruised again towards the Profound Continent.
Xue Wanqing and group thanked Guo Shangdong, because without him, the corpse might have attacked them, and without him, Yu Zhiming’s group might have recklessly slaughtered them.
Guo Shangdong, slightly squinting, waved his hand drunkenly and said, "The old Wine Drunk just can’t stand certain people’s behavior."
Yang Haotian approached with respect towards Guo Shangdong asking, "Wine Drunk Senior, years ago you didn’t accept as your disciple; would you take now? I truly want to beco your disciple."
Xue Wanqing and Zhao Bo looked at Guo Shangdong, knowing Yang Haotian becoming his disciple wouldn’t affect his disciple status in Qingyue Sect, but provide protection; after all, Guo Shangdong is a loose cultivator without sect affiliation.
Guo Shangdong glanced at Yang Haotian and said, "Not interested, not interested. You, boy, aren’t qualified to be my disciple yet! Besides, I’m used to freedom; I swore I’d never take a disciple this lifeti. Do you want to break that vow?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Haotian felt dejected and disappointed.
Guo Shangdong then turned his gaze to Ye Chenfeng and said, "Boy, the old Wine Drunk wants to invite you for a drink, would you accept?"
Ye Chenfeng had a favorable impression of this eccentric old man, and replied, "The Wine Drunk Senior is inviting for a drink; I surely won’t refuse."
"Good!" Guo Shangdong conjured a small cup that held rely a mouthful of wine. He opened his wine pot and filled that little cup, then handed it to Ye Chenfeng.
The wine carried a rich Spiritual Energy, undoubtedly rare Spiritual Wine. After receiving the cup, Ye Chenfeng drank it in one gulp, feeling a warm comfort spreading throughout his body.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng drink a glass without any reaction, Guo Shangdong felt a trace of interest in his heart, and poured Ye Chenfeng a second glass of wine.
Ye Chenfeng downed the second glass in one gulp as well, but unexpectedly, the three Supre Techniques in his body began to operate on their own.
Seeing that Ye Chenfeng was still not showing signs of intoxication, Guo Shangdong poured him a third glass.
Ye Chenfeng finished it in one gulp again.
Fourth glass.
Fifth glass.
Sixth glass.
Guo Shangdong kept pouring wine for Ye Chenfeng over and over, and each ti, Ye Chenfeng finished it in one gulp without any special reaction. The three Supre Techniques in his body continually absorbed the energy from the Spiritual Wine.
When Ye Chenfeng drank the seventh glass, and Guo Shangdong still didn’t see any reaction from him, he suddenly beca excited.
The wine he gave Ye Chenfeng wasn’t ordinary Spiritual Wine. This wine is called Celestial Spirit Wine, and in so Sects of the Central Continent, it’s specifically used to test a disciple’s talent.
People with low talent might get drunk after just one glass; of course, the higher the talent, the slower they get drunk.
According to what Guo Shangdong knows, there seems to be a disciple in the Central Continent who managed to drink nineteen glasses before passing out. That disciple’s talent was quite extraordinary, and later on, many Sects fought over him.
Of course, in the Central Continent, only so Sects use this Celestial Spirit Wine to test talent.
Generally, the Sect uses dium-grade Celestial Spirit Wine for talent testing, while the one in Guo Shangdong’s hand is high-grade Celestial Spirit Wine. One glass of high-grade Celestial Spirit Wine is equivalent to three glasses of dium-grade Celestial Spirit Wine. Of course, Celestial Spirit Wine is ineffective for those at the Heavenly God Realm.
Ye Chenfeng had already consud seven glasses of high-grade Celestial Spirit Wine, which is equivalent to twenty-one glasses of dium-grade Celestial Spirit Wine,
In Guo Shangdong’s knowledge, the disciple whom all the Sects were fighting over only drank nineteen glasses of dium-grade Celestial Spirit Wine.
Yet Ye Chenfeng has effectively drunk twenty-one glasses of dium-grade Celestial Spirit Wine. How formidable must Ye Chenfeng’s talent be? This excitent was unavoidable!
Guo Shangdong poured more wine for Ye Chenfeng.
After Ye Chenfeng drank the tenth glass and still showed no reaction, Guo Shangdong was completely ecstatic. Ten glasses of high-grade Celestial Spirit Wine are equivalent to thirty glasses of dium-grade Celestial Spirit Wine.
Just how monstrous is Ye Chenfeng’s talent? Previously, Guo Shangdong rely felt that Ye Chenfeng was sowhat special, which is why he decided to test his talent, not expecting to test out a monstrous genius!
Guo Shangdong, who usually had no intention of taking disciples, suddenly beca extrely excited. For such a talent, he absolutely could not miss the opportunity, and notions about enjoying freedom were all thrown to the wind.
The drunkard Guo Shangdong pretended to be calm and asked, "Kid, are you willing to be my disciple?"
Yang Haotian, standing to the side, was filled with doubt as he watched Guo Shangdong pour glass after glass for Ye Chenfeng. Now, hearing that Guo Shangdong wanted to take Ye Chenfeng as his disciple, he imdiately said, "Senior Drunkard, didn’t you say you cherish your freedom? Didn’t you vow never to take disciples? What is this all about?"
Guo Shangdong casually replied, "Yang family kid, did you really believe what I said? Old man like would never make such a boring oath! If I told you I could blow up the Profound Continent with a fart, would you believe that too?"
Guo Shangdong looked utterly shaless, his eyes fixed nervously on Ye Chenfeng, believing that Ye Chenfeng wouldn’t refuse, after all, he was a Peak Seventh Layer Heavenly God Realm expert.
Yet, who knew that after pausing for a mont, Ye Chenfeng would say, "Thank you, Senior Drunkard, but I already have a master."
He refused.
Ye Chenfeng directly refused.
