Ning Cheng did not know that Li Madhe was looking for him and Tantai Yi, and when he heard that Li Madhe was a Deacon of the City Lord’s Residence, he guessed that it should be for his ascension to the twelfth floor of the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower.
In fact up until now, Ning Cheng did not understand why he had climbed to the top of the tower, the cultivators in the square only talked about him climbing to the twelfth floor, even the old gas thought that he had only climbed to the twelfth floor. However, Ning Cheng himself guessed that this was probably because he did not use his own power to resist the Dao Tower’s Dao Rhyme on the thirteenth floor, instead he used the Xuanhuang Pearl to absorb the Dao Tower’s Dao Rhyme rules. This matter had no effect on him, and Ning Cheng did not intend to ask about it.
Originally, Ning Cheng did not feel that he could do anything for the City Lord’s House, as he was about to leave the Heavenly Alliance Star, so he had no intention of collecting the reward either. Since the City Lord of the Heavenly Alliance Star had stated the reward, he would definitely need the person being rewarded to help him with something.
Now that Deacon Li had come all the way here, Ning Cheng did not refuse, he stood up and cupped his fist and said, “Jiangzhou Ning Cheng thanks Deacon Li for his hospitality, everyone please have a seat.”
When Ning Cheng stood up, Old Gas naturally did not dare to remain seated and stood up as well. This detail was clear to Deacon Li, and he immediately knew that Old Gas was following Ning Cheng.
Deacon Li had not heard of what Jiangzhou was, which did not stop him from being enthusiastic about Ning Cheng. When Tantai Yi saw that Ning Cheng had accepted Deacon Li’s invitation, she did not leave and also followed and sat down.
Liu Qing Qin and Chen Yue also knew of Deacon Li’s prestige and hurriedly stood up and gave their names, while thanking Deacon Li for his generous invitation. Only Old Gas did not move, a small deacon like Deacon Li was really no different from a mole in his eyes. He could not figure out why Ning Cheng should give face to this little deacon.
Because Deacon Li was here, the voices of the surrounding chatter instantly diminished. Just because the old gas did not care about Deacon Li did not mean that the rest of the people did not care about Deacon Li either. The mate also quickly served six buckets of Heavenly Alliance Star Dew at this time.
Old Gas stared at the wine barrels placed on the table with wide eyes for a while before he said breathlessly, “This is the first time I’ve seen such a big wine barrel.”
Ning Cheng was equally speechless, it was just as well that a very high quality divine Spirit Vein was exchanged for a barrel of wine, but the key was that the capacity of this barrel was only the size of a beer bottle at most. Instead of a barrel of wine, it might as well be a bottle of wine.
Deacon Li hurriedly explained, “The raw materials for brewing the Heavenly Alliance Star Dew are extremely difficult to obtain, and this also requires precious Dao fruits to be brewed through special means. However, the taste of this wine is not bad, so if a few dao friends don’t mind, we can go to the private box and enjoy it slowly.”
“No need, I think it’s fine to drink here.” Ning Cheng waved his hand, grabbed one of the wine barrels and opened the lid.
A rich and mellow smell of wine emanated out, which also carried a strong scent of Dao rhythm. Smelling this fragrance of wine, it was as if the whole person was immersed in a world that was indescribable.
The vast majority of cultivators on the ground floor of the restaurant were attracted by this wine fragrance, and some even sat down on their knees and began to sense the Dao rhythm aura within.
Ning Cheng’s eyes also lit up, this wine was a completely different type of wine compared to his Mo Xiang Yi. Moreover, with this mellow fragrance, it was definitely a first-rate good wine.
Ning Cheng lifted the wine barrel and took a large gulp, a fiery sweet spring gushed into Ning Cheng’s throat, a taste that he could not express.
The taste of this wine in his mouth was like a most powerful blazing fire, yet it was like the coldest sweet spring.
A clear dao rhyme rule blended into the mellow wine fragrance, leaving one with an endless aftertaste. Ning Cheng did not use this dao rhyme to deepen his divine ability, he purely enjoyed this wine intent. His Mo Xiang Yi wine alone contained an intention, while this Heavenly Alliance Star Dew contained Dao rhyme rules.
Unlike Mo Xiang Yi, the Heavenly Alliance Star Dew had a little bit of intoxication even after Ning Cheng took a sip. Although this intoxication disappeared instantly between the flow of his Dao Rhymes, it was indeed an intoxication of wine. Ever since his cultivation, Ning Cheng did not know how long it had been since he had felt this kind of intoxication, and the Heavenly Alliance Star Dew gave him a feeling of returning to the mortal world once again.
“Good wine.” Ning Cheng sighed out in praise as he instantly fell in love with this wine.
The rest of the people could not hold back long ago and opened the wine barrel and all took a large gulp of it. Chen Yue, whose cultivation level was slightly weaker, drank a little too vigorously and fell down drunk on the table after just one sip of wine.
Liu Qing Qin was also slightly drunk after taking a sip. Seeing that his senior sister was drunk, he hurriedly covered the lid of the wine barrel and also helped to cover Chen Yue’s wine barrel, offering an apology to Ning Cheng and the others.
Deacon Li was naturally clear about the potency of this kind of wine, and even at the early stage of the Mixed Element, a large sip would make him drunk. As soon as these few people drank, he could see the level of cultivation of the crowd.
Ning Cheng had surprisingly nothing happened after taking a sip of wine, apparently instantly dissolving the Dao Rhythm Rule aura of the wine. Not only was Ning Cheng unharmed, but this short man who was following Ning Cheng was also very uncomplicated, having taken two sips in quick succession, he was also unscathed, and was even taking a third sip.
This was even better, the woman who was supposed to be the guest of honour also had no half-hearted reaction after taking a sip of the wine, this was obviously another strong person.
Even that Liu Qing Qin was not simple. After taking a sip of wine, he was also only slightly drunk.
“I’d like to start by toasting Brother Ning, congratulating him on being able to step onto the twelfth level of the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower. In the ten million years of my Heavenly Alliance Star, not to mention climbing the twelfth floor, there are not many people who have even climbed to the tenth floor ……” Deacon Li casually put on a soundproofing ban, and after he finished speaking to Ning Cheng, he raised his wine bucket and took a sip first.
He did not seek to confirm whether Ning Cheng was the one who had ascended the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower and congratulated him straight away.
Ning Cheng smiled faintly and did not deny it as he also lifted the wine barrel and took another sip, “Many thanks Deacon Li.”
Hearing Ning Cheng admit that he was the one who had ascended to the twelfth floor of the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower, Deacon Li was even more surprised. Before he could say anything, Ning Cheng said once again, “Deacon Li, this Daoist Friend Tantai Yi has also ascended to the tenth floor.”
When Deacon Li heard that Tantai Yi was the cultivator who had ascended to the tenth floor of the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower, the joy in his eyes could no longer be concealed, and he raised the wine barrel again and said to Tantai Yi, “So this fellow Daoist, like fellow Daoist Ning, is also a genius powerhouse that has rarely been found in the ten million years of the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower. …”
After saying that, Deacon Li poured down another mouthful of wine, two mouthfuls of wine in quick succession, and Deacon Li’s face was slightly flushed.
Tantai Yi nodded and picked up the wine barrel before she could drink it, she heard a heated laugh come into Deacon Li’s soundproof ban, “Zombie, you’re really good at hiding, you’re actually hiding here to drink.”
The old gas who was drinking happily blushed immediately looked up, he saw a young man with a red crown on his head and eyes with a hint of demonic aura standing not far away.
“Sentence brother …… cackle ……,” the old gas called out after, surprisingly teeth are a little chattering.
Ning Cheng was still laughing at the name Old Gas, it looked like he wasn’t the only one who called Old Gas a zombie. Now that he heard Old Gas teeth fighting, he immediately knew that the person coming was not ordinary.
A person like Old Gas was not so scared even if he was facing death. For example, if he feared himself, he would not be so afraid that his teeth would fight when he spoke. It was evident how frightening this sentence brother was to Old Gas.
Deacon Li’s face also changed slightly after his own soundproofing ban was torn apart. When he saw this demonic young man, the words that came to his mouth were swallowed again. It was obvious that he knew how formidable this sentence brother was.
“Zombie, you have a lot of guts, robbing my things and still dare to hang around in front of me ……” The demonic man grabbed the old gas wine barrel on the table as he spoke, and drank the wine inside the barrel cleanly in a few gulps. Then the depths of the scarlet tongue, licking at the lips, seems to be not enough, where there is a half drunkenness.
The old gas said in his heart that idiots are the ones wandering around in front of you, he did not dare to answer the demonic man’s words and turned his gaze towards Ning Cheng.
Only then did Ning Cheng somewhat understand why the old gas did not leave, it turned out that he was afraid of this demonic young man.
“What is this man’s name? How did you make an enemy with him?” Ning Cheng’s tone was concise, whether he wanted to help Old Gas or not, he still had to listen to Old Gas’s words.
When Old Gas heard Ning Cheng’s words, his face eased a little and he hurriedly said, “Senior, his name is Jue Wansheng, back then, back then he and I saw that tripod together, and then, then ……”
The old gas did not need to say clearly, Ning Cheng already understood what was going on. It should be that this Jue Wansheng was also like Old Gas back then, trying to take advantage of the situation under the Great War. As a result, he and Old Gas saw a Qiankun tripod at the same time, and not knowing what happened, the tripod was snatched by Old Gas.
When he heard Old Gas call Ning Cheng senior, Jue Wansheng, who had wanted to reach out and grab Old Gas, stopped moving and instead, his gaze fell on Ning Cheng.
Only after a long time did he hem and haw again, “Do you know that my name is Jue Wansheng, and in fact everyone who knows me calls me Jue Wusheng? What is my favourite thing to do? Do you know about zombies?”
“You, your favorite thing is to eat raw souls ……,” the old gas remembered how Jue Wansheng had eaten raw souls and his face turned ugly again.
“That’s right ……,” Jue Wansheng said, raising his hand and grabbing it, a Dao Yuan Perfection Saint Emperor behind him directly fell to the ground and turned into a soulless empty shell. Instead, his Yuan Shen was grabbed by Jur Wan Sheng in his hand, and Jur Wan Sheng opened his mouth.
Obviously it was a Yuan Shen, but Jur Wan Sheng bit it with a ‘creaking’ sound.
This Daoist Saint Emperor’s Yuan Shen let out a mournful scream, and Ning Cheng could clearly feel this Daoist Saint Emperor’s Dao Rhythm being shattered by a bite from Jur Wan Sheng.
Ning Cheng frowned slightly as he finally understood why Old Gas was so afraid of Jur Wangsheng. This method of chewing up the living soul of a Yuan Shen by Jur Wan Sheng was simply several times more gruesome than the most cruel torture. This kind of biting off a living Yuan Shen living soul one bite at a time, and chewing it in a sequential manner starting from the Dao Rhythm breath, was definitely an extremely miserable punishment.
Jue Wansheng seemed to have specialized in this, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to grab the vital soul of a Dao Yuan Perfection Saint Emperor with a single lift of his hand.
After finishing chewing the Dao Yuan Saint Emperor’s Yuan Shen in his hand, Jue Wansheng then looked at Ning Cheng, “It looks like you have a problem with me taking away the zombie? To be called senior by a zombie, you are not simple either.”
Before Ning Cheng could say anything, a gentle voice could be heard saying, “Fellow Daoist Jue, can you look at my face and not bother with these few friends of mine?”
As he spoke, a man with a smile on his face, who looked as gentle as jade, walked into the restaurant. As soon as Ning Cheng saw this man, he knew that this was a truly strong man, even a strong man who was at the perfection of the Harmonious Dao.
