Looking at Fury's movements, Zhu Rong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, your control has improved again. You didn't waste even a little bit of power."
Fury, the Thunder Emperor, showed a rare smile on his face. The sun crown above his head silently disappeared and returned to normal. His face didn't blush, and he didn't even gasp for breath, as if nothing had happened.
Mixing drinks with lightning bolts, lightning dragons playing with pearls, everything that Fury had done had shocked Ji Dong greatly. He had never thought that mixing drinks could be done like this. At this moment, he finally understood that this was a completely different world from his previous life. In this world, magic power was the ruler of everything, and it was the same for mixing drinks. Ji Dong had been proud of his skills in mixing drinks, but they were all based on the fact that magic power didn't exist. The beauty brought by Fury in mixing drinks, and the taste of the cocktail that even Ji Dong couldn't tell, made him sink into his thoughts.
Fury didn't hurry to open the shaker. The shaker was still surrounded by lightning bolts, showing a bluish-purple color. He made a gesture towards Hyōhime and said, "Little brother, it's your turn."
Slowly raising his head, a trace of determination flashed in Ji Dong's eyes. He waved his right hand, and nine bottles of drinks appeared on the table in a row. He knew that if he didn't show his best skills, he wouldn't be able to defeat Fury's drinks, which were made with the power of lightning bolts. Although Yi Shoots the Nine Suns was powerful, it couldn't reach Fury's level after all. Lightning dragons playing with pearls, the atmosphere that Fury had created when mixing drinks was already more powerful than Ji Dong's Yi Shoots the Nine Suns. No wonder Fury was so confident.
However, how could Ji Dong, who was once the God of Wine, give up so easily? Even though he had just learned a little bit about the secret of mixing drinks with magic power, and hadn't fully understood it yet, with his thirty years of experience, he wouldn't be defeated so easily.
Seeing Ji Dong take out nine bottles of wine, Fury was stunned for a moment. As a top bartender, he knew very well that the more ingredients there were, the more difficult it would be to mix a drink. Whether it was the ratio, the mixing ratio between the ingredients, or the combination, the difficulty would increase exponentially as the number of ingredients increased. Ji Dong took out nine ingredients at once. This was something that even he himself couldn't do. In his memory, he had only seen Du Sikang succeed once with his exquisite control of the water element. Could it be that his little brother could do it too?
Ji Dong proved Fury's guess with his actions. The nine ingredients were poured into the crystal shaker one after another according to a certain ratio. The shaker glowed faintly, and the nine kinds of wine mixed in the shaker, forming a turbid color. Fury immediately realized that the nine kinds of wine Ji Dong used were all different colors. There were two kinds of mint wine, blue and green. Although the other seven kinds of wine were common in the market, they were also different in color.
Closing the lid, Ji Dong took a slight step back and closed his eyes. His hands hung naturally on both sides of his body, and his ten fingers were slightly shaking in a certain rhythm.
It was the first time for Zhu Rong and Zhu Yan to see Ji Dong making drinks. Judging from Fury's previous actions, they had already realized how much Fury valued Ji Dong. Lightning Dragon Playing with Pearls was Fury's specialty, and he had earned the qualification of a nine-star master bartender with this skill. How could an opponent who could make him use all of his strength be ordinary?
While they were thinking, Ji Dong had already started his action. He abruptly opened his eyes, and an incomparably arrogant aura instantly burst out. His clear eyes reflected the turbid color in the shaker, and he seemed to have entered a special state. His left hand reached towards the shaker extremely slowly, and the back of his hand touched the shaker. He spread his feet, slightly squatted, and spread his right hand on his side. Instantly, his entire spirit, qi and spirit merged into one.
Swoosh! The back of Ji Dong's left hand touched the shaker, and the shaker flew up horizontally. He quickly turned his body and lifted the bottom of the shaker with his right hand. Then, the shaker started spinning in the air at high speed.
The nine-colored liquids in the crystal shaker began surging intensely. Ji Dong's hands fluttered in the air like butterflies, and the shaker seemed to have come to life. All kinds of shapes appeared in the air. Sometimes, it turned into a sun-like disc, sometimes it turned into a faintly discernible starlight, and sometimes it turned into a moon-like glow. Ji Dong's hands were like phantoms, and he often swung the shaker in a way that violated the rules of human bodies. At this moment, the three of them felt that he was like an endless night sky, a vast universe. The sun, the moon, and the stars were shining ceaselessly, and sometimes, they even turned into dazzling lights like shooting stars.
Ji Dong was no longer standing behind the table. His body moved along with the shaker, and he perfectly displayed the limits of his mixing skills in this spacious room.
Zhu Rong and Zhu Yan were both shocked. They had never seen such complicated and strange mixing skills. Ji Dong's hands moved so fast that they couldn't even keep up with it. The sun, the moon, and the stars were all visual illusions created by the shaker when it rotated at different angles and in different ways. However, during the whole process, Ji Dong didn't release any magic power.
The most shocked one was Ji Dong's opponent, Fury, the Thunder Emperor. Ever since he became an excellent bartender, he had always believed that the strength of magic power was an important indicator of one's mixing skills. Although his thunder magic power didn't have as great an impact on mixing as his water magic power, it could also bring about many magical effects. It was the first time that he had seen someone like Ji Dong, who was able to display such a magical scene with only his hands. He deeply understood that even Du Sikang, the president of the Bartenders Guild, couldn't do what Ji Dong was doing right now. That was a pure technique without any fancy tricks or magic power!
Every movement of Ji Dong had an indescribable inspiration for him. Every time Ji Dong's body changed, Fury couldn't help but be amazed. Although he still didn't think that he would lose, he no longer looked down on Ji Dong. On the contrary, he had already recognized this little brother of his from the bottom of his heart.
The technique that Ji Dong was using now was the highest technique that he had used in the bartending world in his previous life. It was also the technique that he had spent nearly ten years experimenting with. It was called Nirvana.
At this moment, his eyes were flashing with deep emotions. His entire body was moving subconsciously, but in his heart, the beautiful face of the Flaming Bar kept flashing. A bartender filled with strong emotions was the best bartender. Only then could he give the wine he made a soul.
Suddenly, the sun, the moon, and the stars shone brightly. Ji Dong's entire body was even hidden under the dazzling light. This time, no one could see his movements clearly. In the next moment, the sun, the moon, and the stars shone brightly, and Ji Dong reappeared. He raised his right hand, and the flask stood vertically on his index finger, spinning violently.
"Please look." Ji Dong shouted in a low voice. He raised his left hand, and the Yin Yang vortex spun on its own, completely transforming his magic into the third fire attribute. A fiery red flame rose from his left hand, shining on the back of the flask.
The Zhu Rong brothers and Fury, the Thunder Emperor, had profound cultivation bases and extraordinary eyesight. At this moment, the three of them almost jumped up at the same time. Fury even exclaimed in shock, "This is impossible."
Under the reflection of the red flame, they could clearly see that in the rapidly spinning wine in the crystal flask, there seemed to be a woman in a fluttering dress dancing. As the wine swirled, it seemed to be an extension of her nine-colored dress. Her movements were gentle and soothing, as if she was floating in a cloud of smoke. Although they couldn't see her face clearly, the touching feeling was enough to intoxicate them.
That was a human figure completely formed by the wine! Ji Dong slightly adjusted the direction of his body. Under the illumination of the flame, the scene in the flask was reflected on the wall. The magnified woman suddenly appeared on the wall, dancing in an extremely realistic manner. It seemed to be telling Fury and the other two that their eyes weren't playing tricks on them, and that all of this was real.
If it was said that Fury, the Thunder Emperor, thought that he could defeat Ji Dong with the miraculous scene of the lightning dragon playing with a pearl and the fine wine that was soaked in lightning, then at this moment, he had nothing to say. Even if he didn't taste it, he didn't think that he had even the slightest chance of winning.
Zhu Rong took a deep breath and said slowly, "Miraculous, miraculous!"
Ji Dong turned his wrist, and the flask suddenly rose into the air. The dancing woman in the flask seemed to have floated up into the air, and disappeared, as if she had ascended into the heavens. Within the sparkling light, the flask was placed on the table by Ji Dong. Through the transparent crystal, one could see that the nine different colors of wine were clearly layered in the flask, without mixing.
Taking back the flame in his left palm, Zhurong and the other two finally saw that Ji Dong's body was already covered in steam, as if he had just been fished out of the water. His clothes were all soaked. It was not hard to imagine how much energy he had consumed to perform the skill of mixing wine.
Fury looked at Ji Dong and said, "Little brother, I just want to know the skill you used just now, and what is the name of this glass of wine."
Ji Dong took a few deep breaths, and his chest gradually calmed down. He smiled and said, "The skill I used just now is called 'Nirvana'. This glass of wine is also the best I can do, it is called 'The Nine Heaven Fairy Descends to the Mortal World'. Today, I was lucky and succeeded. Even I can't do it every time."
Fury gave Hyōhime a big thumbs up and said, "Little brother, I am convinced. From now on, I will never mention mixing wine in front of you again. What happened in the branch of the Central Plains City is over. In terms of mixing wine, even the leader of the branch of the Central Plains City is not your opponent. You deserve to be called the God of Wine. Our branch of the Central Plains City was not defeated by you. Even if you were in the headquarters of the North Water Empire, you would still have the power to challenge them."
Ji Dong laughed and said, "Brother, now I just want to taste your Lightning Dragon Playing with Pearls. These are just small tricks of mine. Your lightning magic is the real strength."
Fury waved his hand and sighed, "Little brother, you don't have to flatter me. I have always thought that I was right. But now I realize that although I can use my magic to mix wine, I have neglected the most essential part of mixing wine. In terms of the basic skills of mixing wine, there is a huge difference between you and me. In the future, I will have to learn more from you. Today, I have lost the bet. Any good wine can only bloom in your hands. Not to mention my stock, as long as I can find any wine in the continent, I will find a way to get it for you."
Zhu Lao 'er had already come to Ji Dong's side. He scratched his messy red hair and said in a serious tone, "I haven't judged yet and you are admitting defeat? How will you know if the wine is good if you don't drink it? "As he said this, he couldn't wait to grab the shaker in front of Ji Dong and unscrew the lid.
"Give it to me." A deep voice sounded behind Zhu Lao 'er.
Zhu Lao 'er smiled bitterly, "Can you not be like this, Boss? You can't bully people like this."
Zhu Rong snorted and said, "I am bullying you. Ji Dong said it well. If you have the ability, you can also bully me!"
"You …" Zhu Lao 'er was furious and turned to look at Zhu Rong. But when he saw Zhu Rong's deep gaze, he softened and helplessly handed the shaker back to Zhu Rong. He said pitifully, "Boss, leave some for me."
Ji Dong and Fury glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile. In front of Zhu Rong, Zhu Lao 'er, who was nearly a hundred years old, was like a child who had been wronged.
Fury took six highball glasses and put them on the table. He also took out his shaker and poured three glasses of wine. Zhu Rong handed the shaker back to him and poured three glasses of wine.
The wine that Fury made with the [Lightning Dragon Playing with Pearls] technique was bluish purple, just like his lightning. The top part was blue, and the bottom part was purple. Faintly, one could even see a trace of lightning swimming in the wine. It was magical. After Ji Dong's glass of wine was poured out, the nine colors were still separated in an orderly manner.
Fury handed a glass of wine that he made to Ji Dong and said, "I named it Thunder God Descends. Little brother, try it."
Ji Dong nodded as he stared at the purplish-blue liquid. A longing that he hadn't felt for a long time arose in his heart. He only needed to take a few glances and a sniff to know what a cocktail tasted like.
