Li Qingshan said, "My name is Li Qingshan. May I know your name, Big Sister?" He wanted to call her Miss, but although she was noble, she was definitely not the kind of young lady who had been raised in a boudoir. He wanted to call her Miss, but although she was young, she did not deserve this word, or rather, this word did not deserve to be used as a form of address for her.
Fairy might be the best choice. Although he had no feelings for this word before, calling her this way felt like lowering his head. In the end, he could only call her "Big Sister" unabashedly, just like Xu Xian who first met the White Snake on the West Lake.
Hwa Seung-zan really admired Li Qingshan. At that time, he could not even speak a complete sentence. This kid from the mountains was really brave.
"My name is Gu Yanying. Do you know why I called you here, Little Brother Qingshan?" Gu Yanying gently waved the delicate jade folding fan in her hand. There was a hint of ridicule in her smile, but her gaze was very distant.
Little Brother Qingshan!? Li Qingshan would rather be called "Tiger Descending the Mountain" by the people of Jianghu for the rest of his life, but he thought that he was only fifteen or sixteen years old. In her eyes, perhaps he really was a little brother.
The sorrow in the depths of Hwa Seung-zan's eyes deepened.
Wang Pushi frowned. How could Li Qingshan deserve to be called little brother by her? But he knew that she was carefree and casual, so he could not say anything. On second thought, if she did not have this kind of temperament, he would not be qualified to sit opposite to her.
Li Qingshan thought about the only thing on him that people knew about and could take out was the spiritual ginseng. "Have you come for the spiritual ginseng as well?" If that was the case, he could only hand over the spiritual ginseng. It was not because he was enchanted by her beauty, but because he was not strong enough. Although he was in love with her, he was not a love-struck fool who would casually abandon his principles and dignity. If Gu Yanying was really here for the spiritual ginseng, then her image in his mind would be greatly reduced.
Wang Pushi could not help but laugh, while Hwa Seung-zan was already laughing so hard that he fell over.
Gu Yanying was annoyed and amused at the same time. She curled her lips and said, "Who would want something stained with your saliva?" In the eyes of the top experts of Jianghu, the spirit ginseng was as precious as their life, but in her eyes, it was just something stained with saliva.
"The wine is ready!" Li Qingshan calculated the time and placed the cauldron on the table. The moment the lid was opened, Li Qingshan saw thousands of rays of spiritual light shooting out and was reminded of a certain anime from his previous life.
A dense wine fragrance spread out, and the surrounding snow quickly melted. The Welcoming Pine Tree beside him clearly stretched out, becoming even more verdant.
As Li Qingshan smelled the wine fragrance, he felt as if his muscles and bones had become lighter. The true Qi in his body immediately became active. It was easy to imagine what would happen if he drank this wine. Compared to the simple spiritual wine brewed from the spiritual ginseng, this wine was more than ten times better.
Li Qingshan's face flushed red. He felt like an ignorant villager guarding a piece of cured pork and treating it as the world's most delicious delicacy. He was so ashamed that he could not show his face. He wished that she was really here for the spiritual ginseng.
Gu Yanying sniffed lightly and smiled. "A hundred-year-old Bodhi Wine! Old Wang, you're very considerate! "
Wang Pushi said, "I know that you like to drink, Commander, so I forced some from Old Brother Tian. Among the hundred clans, the agricultural family is the best at brewing wine." He then personally poured the wine into the pot and glared at Hwa Seung-zan. "Aren't you going to pour the wine?"
Hwa Seung-zan stood up and poured two cups of wine. Wang Pushi asked, "What about yours?" Only then did Hwa Seung-zan giggle and pour a cup for himself.
Gu Yanying smiled and said, "Everyone who sees it has a share. Little Brother Qingshan, you should try it too!" She ignored Feng Zhang, who was at the side.
Feng Zhang's ears perked up. As he smelled the wine fragrance, he felt as if hundreds of claws were scratching at his heart. If the spiritual ginseng was not that enticing to him, then this legendary Bodhi Wine …
Just one cup! One cup! He could break through the second layer of the Qi Refining realm and reach the third layer, but no one mentioned it. He did not dare to blame Gu Yanying and the other two. He could only grit his teeth in hatred towards Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan lowered his head and said nothing. Hwa Seung-zan had already forced a cup of wine into his hands. "Come, come, come. Consider yourself lucky. I usually don't even get to drink something as good as this."
Li Qingshan lowered his head and looked at the golden liquid in the cup. He knew that if he refused now, he would seem too petty. Thus, he raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Hey!" Hwa Seung-zan wanted to stop him, but it was already too late. Wang Pushi had not even looked at Li Qingshan from beginning to end. He was only guessing why Gu Yanying had asked him to come over and even let him drink the precious Bodhi Wine.
Gu Yanying had no intention of stopping him at all. Instead, she smiled and looked like she was watching a good show.
Before Li Qingshan could distinguish the taste of the wine, a scorching mass of spiritual energy split open in his stomach and rampaged through his limbs and bones. His own true Qi could not stop it in the slightest.
Not good. The spiritual energy contained in this wine was even greater than he had imagined. The spiritual light and wine smell it gave off were only the surface layer.
Feng Zhang was delighted. Country bumpkin! This Bodhi Wine had to be drunk slowly. If it was drunk too quickly, the powerful spiritual energy would destroy the dantian and meridians, like a flood destroying a dam.
Li Qingshan did not explode and die, because he had never cultivated any meridians or dantian. His entire body glowed brightly as he worked hard to mobilize his true Qi to devour and convert the spiritual energy. His body was like a sponge, absorbing the spiritual energy and gradually calming down the chaotic spiritual energy.
Gu Yanying stared at Li Qingshan, her eyes as sharp as a hawk's. On the tip of her left hand, an ancient copper coin was jumping rapidly. As she focused her gaze, Li Qingshan felt as if his soul was being seen through.
A moment later, Li Qingshan had completely digested the spiritual energy in his body. Gu Yanying's gaze then became slack, and she tilted her head as if she was thinking about something.
Hwa Seung-zan let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that body refining was not completely useless.
Wang Pushi, on the other hand, felt a little strange. The spiritual energy contained in the Bodhi Wine was so powerful that it was enough to allow one to directly advance to the third layer of Qi Refining. However, Li Qingshan did not show any signs of breaking through. He was still in the first layer of Qi Refining, although his true Qi had become much stronger.
If he had not drunk a cup, he would have suspected that this Bodhi Wine was fake, or that it was not old enough.
Li Qingshan let out a sigh of relief and cupped his hands towards Gu Yanying and the others. "Thank you!" He did not expect that not only would he not lose the spiritual ginseng, but he would also get a cup of wine to drink. However, he still felt a little unhappy.
