The man scanned his surroundings with a fierce gaze. The wine jar in his hand suddenly flew up, flying to the center of the venue and suddenly exploding with a 'bang'.
The shattered pieces of the wine jar fell to the ground, but there was a ball of amber light floating in the air. It was the wine within the jar, and under the illumination of the raging flames, it was particularly eye-catching and beautiful.
An alluring fragrance wafted through the air. Everyone inhaled and took a whiff, and immediately, many of them cheered loudly.
Miao Yi couldn't help but take a whiff as well. Just by smelling the fragrance of the wine, even someone like him who didn't drink much couldn't help but want to have a taste.
The man looked around proudly, then waved his hand and invoked his arts, pointing at the floating amber light. The ball of wine immediately split into seventy-three strands, each flying into a small jade cup on the long table. Everyone's table immediately had a cup of fragrant wine.
Many of the little demons standing around licked their lips and swallowed their saliva. Unfortunately, they didn't have the qualifications to taste such fine wine on the table, and could only stare and swallow their saliva as they smelled the fragrance. They were extremely envious.
One after another, everyone picked up the small jade cup and placed it in front of their noses to take a light whiff, then poured it into their mouths and slowly closed their eyes to savor the taste. Everyone could be seen nodding their heads with their eyes closed.
Miao Yi could see that under Commander Yuan's liking, this group of subordinates had all become experts in wine tasting and brewing. They might even be weirdos in the Sea of Constellations.
He followed suit, but as soon as the wine entered his mouth, his closed eyes couldn't help but widen and shine. The taste of the sweet rain that entered his mouth was simply indescribable. As he gulped it down, it swirled in his stomach hundreds and thousands of times, like ice and fire coexisting in a furnace. It was indescribably wonderful.
"Good wine!" Miao Yi couldn't help but exclaim loudly, drawing the attention of everyone who was still savoring the taste with their eyes closed.
The Fort Master who served the wine was startled. He was originally one of the people who didn't want to pay attention to Miao Yi, but he could tell that Miao Yi's words came from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't help but praise it, adding flavor to the wine he brewed. He immediately beamed with joy, cupping his fists towards Miao Yi and thanking him from afar.
Humans all liked to hear nice words, and it seemed like this demon was no exception.
The sound of cups smashing rang out as the various Fort Masters smashed the small jade cups in their hands onto the ground one after another.
Miao Yi didn't quite understand what was going on. However, when he saw everyone smash their cups and then take out another small jade cup and place it on the table, he immediately understood. They were probably afraid that the taste of other wines would be mixed in, so they switched cups. He immediately copied them and smashed the cup in his hand, then took out another and placed it on the table.
One of the Fort Masters smashed his cup and stood up. Holding a wine jar in one hand, he glared at Miao Yi and sneered, "The good wine is here. I will definitely let you experience it!"
It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Miao Yi praising his wine earlier.
"Eight-hundred-year-old Worry-Forgetting Beard, thousand-year-old Snow Ganoderma, thousand-year-old Fragrant Lotus, and two-hundred-year-old fine wine, please enjoy!"
Miao Yi was secretly speechless as he listened. They really were a bunch of drunkards. Even though he had never seen them before, he had heard of them before. The spiritual herbs that the various sects and schools searched for to refine pills for their disciples to raise their cultivation were actually used by these drunkards to brew wine to drink. Moreover, they were all extremely old and rare spiritual herbs. This bunch of drunkards were quite extravagant. It seemed like drinking this bejeweled nectar would also be beneficial to one's cultivation.
'Crash!' The wine jar shattered onto the ground, and another seventy-three streams of sparkling and translucent wine flew into the cups.
Everyone was still in the middle of tasting. Miao Yi couldn't help but open his eyes the moment the wine entered his mouth. Before he could even catch his breath, the unconvinced Fort Master was already pointing at him, his eyes filled with anticipation as he asked, "How is it?"
Miao Yi shook his head and praised, "Too wonderful for words!"
That person immediately beamed with joy, cupping his fists to thank Miao Yi from afar.
When it was time to share the next jar of wine with everyone, the other Fort Master did the same. He glared at Miao Yi and asked, "How is it?"
Looking at the way he looked as if he wanted to eat someone, it was as if he was warning you to try and say something bad!
Miao Yi shook his head again, and indeed sighed from the bottom of his heart, "This wine should only exist in the heavens. It's rare to taste it in the mortal realm!"
He was speaking the truth. He had never tasted such good wine before. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was bejeweled nectar. He was speaking from the bottom of his heart, completely from the bottom of his heart!
"Haha!" That person clapped his hands and laughed maniacally. The more he looked at Miao Yi, the more he seemed to like him. He cupped his fists towards Miao Yi, most likely having the urge to become sworn brothers with him.
It wasn't a good thing to give an evaluation that was too high. Miao Yi would experience it later.
The wine was shared jug after jug of wine, cup after cup of bejeweled nectar, each with its own merits. Miao Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After drinking the wine brewed by these demons, he thought back to the wine he had drunk before coming to the Sea of Constellations. Those were practically swill, and couldn't be compared to the wine he was drinking here. One was in heaven, and the other was on earth.
Miao Yi even muttered to himself, 'What's the point of these demons cultivating? Why don't they all go and brew wine? I guarantee that no matter where he went, there would be people fighting for it.'
What made Miao Yi most depressed was that he seemed to have poked a hornet's nest. After every Fort Master presented their wine, they would always be the first to ask him how it tasted. He couldn't not say it, and he couldn't not give an earth-shattering evaluation either. It would be best if he could surpass the evaluation of the Fort Masters before him.
But he hadn't studied much since he was young, and had only attended supplementary classes at Lao Bai's place. His knowledge was limited, so how could he have so many words of praise?
'Didn't they all look down on me?' Miao Yi cursed the eighteen generations of the Fort Masters' ancestors in his heart.
If his colleagues from South Edict Manor were to see this scene, their eyes would probably pop out of their sockets. Such a rare cultivation experience wasn't something everyone could have. It was greatly beneficial to the tempering of one's temperament.
After tasting a dozen rounds, even though he was clearly enjoying the bejeweled nectar, the Great Cave Master Miao felt extremely tormented. He was racking his brains for words, and didn't have the mood to taste the wine.
After forcefully enduring twenty rounds, Miao Yi really couldn't take it anymore. If he continued, the consequences of running out of words would be very frightening. He might even get beaten up by those demons and Fort Masters.
The most frightening thing was that even though these bejeweled nectar were only tasted in small cups, it wasn't something an ordinary person could handle. It was full of aftershocks, and it was a little ecstatic.
Miao Yi could already feel the effects of the wine surging up his body. With his cultivation base, he really couldn't handle too much spiritual wine. If he continued drinking, he might get drunk on the ground. When that happened, he wouldn't be able to withstand inspection. Once they did, he would be exposed, and the consequences would be unthinkable.
In any case, the little ones had already climbed into position. Miao Yi steeled his heart and suddenly stood up. He extended his hand to stop the next Fort Master, and asked him to temporarily hold off on presenting the wine. "Everyone, can you listen to me first?"
Before he'd presented the wine, no one would have paid him any attention, but now it was different. Those who'd presented wine before him had all accepted his favor, and those who hadn't yet presented wine were still looking forward to his excellent evaluation to add to their reputation. At least for now, no one was willing to offend him.
