Of course, Yun Yang would not make things difficult for him. He poured a goblet of wine for the old man and raised his cup. "Please!"
The old man had already picked it up hastily. "Please!"
He tipped his head back and emptied the goblet. He praised, "Unrivaled in the world indeed. The Prime of Wine lives up to its reputation. I'm afraid I'll have to quit drinking after drinking this wine!"
Then, his expression turned solemn.
The wine had dispersed and he could faintly feel an inexplicable force of Dao.
It was an impact of the realm of Dao. Although it was weak and almost undetectable, such an impact was enough to shake an expert cultivator like him.
The force of Dao that could only appear in this wine at its peak was what made Feng Xiange's wine so precious!
He then took a deep breath and collected the wine from his limbs and bones, suppressing it into the secret parts of his body.
Now was not the best time to comprehend it.
He would release it when the time was right and he wanted to comprehend it.
With his cultivation base and control over his body, it was not an exaggeration to say that he could force the goblet of wine out of his body at any time and pour it back into the goblet to drink it again!
The effect and strength of the wine would not diminish even if he were to drink it again!
If Yun Yang knew what this old man was doing, he would definitely be dumbfounded!
He drank the wine down his throat and swallowed it, burying it into his body, not absorbing it at all?! That was the real deal! Yun Yang could not even imagine what kind of expert would be able to achieve such a feat at his current stage.
If this old man was a little more extreme and disliked Yun Yang, he would most likely be able to crush Yun Yang to death as long as his aura and aura reached a certain level, without needing to fight.
What an expert!
However, before Yun Yang came here, he had already disregarded his own life and death. Yun Yang estimated that he might not be able to defeat Old He's cultivation base even if he cultivated for another ten years. If he could not find a breakthrough here, what was the harm in dying here?
"Another goblet." Yun Yang's breath reeked of wine. "Good wine!"
The old man was speechless looking at Yun Yang's breath that reeked of wine.
It had to be said that it was a great waste of God's gift for Yun Yang to drink such an exquisite wine that only deities were worthy of!
Because with his current level of cultivation, he was completely unable to comprehend the true wonders of this wine.
"Like a cow chewing on a peony …" The old man let out a long sigh, raised his cup, and drained it in one gulp.
Yun Yang rolled his eyes.
What's wrong with you, old man? I've already treated you to a drink, and it's such an outstanding Supreme of Wine at that, yet you're saying that I'm just a cow chewing on peonies …
There was no one else like him.
However, following the effects of the alcohol, the two of them were clearly getting warmer and warmer.
Fang Mofei, who was watching from a hundred feet behind him, felt countless question marks hovering over his head.
He just couldn't figure it out.
Young Master! Supreme Cloud!
You didn't pay attention to so many important things and came here to fish.
It's fine that you're fishing – you're injured now, it's good that you're cultivating and recovering your energy. However, not only are you not fishing properly, you're also provoking others to fish properly. First, you've offended them and now you're treating them to a drink.
This is fine, but what you've taken out is the only remaining jar of this priceless wine in the entire Tianxuan Continent, and you're treating an old man whom you've never met before …
This was truly … an absolute waste!
Fang Mofei, who had some understanding of the Supreme of Wine, felt like he was about to faint.
If he did not know that Yun Yang was Supreme Cloud, just by looking at his behavior, he was obviously an extreme popinjay, a super popinjay that surpassed the heavens!
"Old sir likes fishing very much." Yun Yang smiled.
"Fishing is a form of pleasure, and also a way of life." The old man drank with his eyes squinted.
"You're right, but there aren't many people who can focus on fishing in peace in this continent now." Yun Yang sighed.
"I like fishing very much too." Yun Yang's voice turned deep and distant. "Old sir is much older than me, I'm sure your realization is deeper than mine."
The old man asked curiously, "Realization? You're so young, what realization do you have? Why don't you tell me about it first? "
Yun Yang smiled faintly. "Then this junior shall start the ball rolling. I'll listen to old sir's opinion later. I personally think that when we're fishing, we form heaven, earth, and man, the coexistence of the three elements."
The old man was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
Such a theory was unheard of. Even though the old man was knowledgeable, he was still interested in probing further.
"When we're fishing, we're the heaven. The water in front of us is, of course, the earth. The fish in the water are humans. "
Yun Yang said leisurely, "The bait we throw can be anything in this boundless world, it can be wine, women, avarice, fame, and fortune … As for the fish below, due to their different personalities and preferences, they choose the bait they like to chase after."
"Whether it's a big or small fish, as long as the bait we throw catches its fancy, it'll take the bait. The only difference is the length of time."
"Even if it's a fish that stands aloof from worldly affairs, it can't avoid taking a fancy to a certain bait and will take the bait it likes."
Yun Yang said, "It's just like life in this continent. How many people can avoid the temptation of wine, women, avarice, fame, and fortune?"
"Watching a fish being caught by me, at that moment, my heart will be filled with a myriad of emotions. It's indescribable."
"It means that no matter how much the fish that's been hooked struggles, it can't escape its fate."
Yun Yang said, "Isn't it the same for humans? As long as you step onto a certain path and work hard for a certain pursuit … there's basically no turning back. "
"Actually, we're eating bait every day, or rather, we're moving forward with the bait that we yearn for in our hearts."
Yun Yang smiled and raised his cup. "Please."
The old man frowned and thought deeply before saying, "That makes sense! It really does make sense! I didn't expect you to have such an epiphany at such a young age. "
Yun Yang smiled faintly. "Also, looking at the water in front of us, even if it's not moving, it feels like it's floating and constantly changing … Perhaps, when we can't even notice it, the fish in the water has already experienced a lot of vicissitudes."
"As for Heaven's Will … although it's existed since the beginning of time, why would it care about a person? Or a person? Heaven's Will goes on forever, but how many times has the human realm changed and changed? "
"From this point of view, what's the difference between us and the fish? There are even some places where we're not as good as the fish. "
"Humans are not as good as the fish …" The old man closed his eyes and thought about Yun Yang's words carefully. After a long time, he sighed and said, "You're right."
He paused and said, "What you've said is not bad at all. It makes sense!"
He kept his eyes closed and did not open them. After a while, he opened them and said, "Thank you, young friend, for your guidance."
He actually bowed to Yun Yang in a very formal manner.
His eyes were filled with contemplation.
After a long time, he said, "Young friend, you're young but you seem to have experienced a lot."
Yun Yang smiled faintly. "Of course not as much as you."
The old man kept his thoughts and said with a smile, "Let's drink, let's drink."
"Please."
Yun Yang drank as he poured wine while the old man emptied his goblet, looking extremely refreshed.
The pot of Prime of Wine was about ten catties at most. After a hundred years of accumulation, there were only four to five catties of wine left. It was emptied before long.
Although Yun Yang had drunk quite a bit as well, it was only about twenty to thirty percent of the total amount. The remaining seventy to eighty percent had gone into the old man's stomach.
Fang Mofei was envious of the scene, grumbling inwardly, 'Oh young master, oh Lord Supreme Cloud, why didn't you share some of this good stuff with me and Lao Mei? Is it really alright to let an outsider take all of it?'
"However, what young friend said isn't applicable here." The old man was embarrassed to see that he had basically drunk all of it, so he took the initiative to speak up.
"May I ask what it is?" Yun Yang asked.
"There's a type of fish in this lake that not only are fishing experts rarely able to catch, but even cultivation experts are helpless against it," the old man said.
Yun Yang was taken aback and said in surprise, "Oh, may I ask what's so special about this fish that even cultivation experts can't do anything about it?"
The old man chuckled and said, "The reason this fish can't be caught is because it has an innate ability. Once it's attacked by an external force, be it mystical Qi or any other force, even if it's the force of thought, it'll turn into flowing water immediately and leave no trace behind. How can it be caught?"
"Even if one were to catch this fish when it's defenseless, it'll turn into flowing water and mist immediately, disappearing without a trace. No matter how strong one's cultivation base is, one can't capture even a drop of the fish's essence. "
"There's such a mystical fish in the Thousand Feet Lake?" Yun Yang was stunned.
"That's right, there's such a mystical fish!" the old man said.
Yun Yang thought about it and said, "You said that fishing experts rarely get anything, but it doesn't mean that they don't get anything at all. This means that although this fish is mystical, there's still a chance of catching it!"
The old man smiled and said, "That's right. This fish can't be caught by force, but it can be caught with fishing hooks. As long as the hook is successfully hooked onto the fish's mouth, the fish will no longer have the ability to turn into flowing water."
"Once it leaves the water, it'll be no different from an ordinary fish. It's not right to say that this fish is completely the same as an ordinary fish, because this fish's appearance is very strange. There are only seven scales on its entire body, and each scale is of a different color. "
"Old sir, are you talking about … the Seven-Scaled Deity?" Yun Yang was moved. "But this is only a legend of the Thousand Feet Lake."
"That's right. It's the legendary Seven-Scaled Deity, but I can guarantee that this fish truly exists. " The old man said faintly, "Besides, there are only three places in the entire Tianxuan Continent that have this fish, and this Thousand Feet Lake is the fourth place that has yet to be discovered."
Yun Yang suddenly thought of something.
