Heavenly Wolf Xiang Donglai fought Supreme Grandmaster Gu Shentu at the peak of Full Moon Mountain.
In a tavern in a border town of the Great Shen Empire, Xiang Donglai drank the wine in his bowl and looked at Yang Xuan with a strange expression. He smiled and said, "Although Gu Shentu is known as a Supreme Grandmaster, he's actually just a pitiful person."
Yang Xuan didn't know how to respond. He thought for a while and said, "Why did Big Brother Xiang appear in the Yun Country that day?"
Xiang Donglai called the bartender over and poured another bowl of wine before saying, "I was just traveling. It's fate that I met you."
Then he asked, "Have you comprehended the new application of the three fists?"
Yang Xuan nodded.
It had to be said that Xiang Donglai was really a genius. No one could compare to him in terms of fist techniques.
"Why did Big Brother Xiang want to fight Gu Shentu? And it's a battle of life and death? "Yang Xuan couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked.
Logically speaking, experts like Xiang Donglai and Gu Shentu should have long since put aside all worldly affairs and focused on pursuing that wisp of ethereal opportunity. How could they still be like ordinary cultivators, fighting for their lives?
Xiang Donglai smiled and said, "You're wrong. The one who wants to fight is not me, but Gu Shentu."
Yang Xuan was stunned.
Xiang Donglai sighed and said, "The reason is simple. Gu Shentu doesn't have much time left. He wants to fight with me to find that last opportunity."
Only then did Yang Xuan understand.
Gu Shentu was the same as Xiang Donglai. They were both stuck at the peak of the Human Dao Realm and couldn't advance to the Divine Dao Realm for many years. So they wanted to use a battle of life and death to stimulate their last potential.
Understanding this, Yang Xuan's original intention of helping Xiang Donglai faded. Others couldn't interfere in this matter. If they insisted on interfering, not only would they not be friends, but they would also become mortal enemies.
Sighing slightly, Yang Xuan didn't say anything else and just drank a bowl of wine with Xiang Donglai.
As the strong liquor entered his throat, the spicy taste made Yang Xuan cough repeatedly. He rarely drank alcohol, and this was his first time drinking such inferior liquor. He could not stand the taste.
Xiang Donglai found it interesting and teased him, "It seems that you're used to drinking good wine. This kind of strong wine is not to your taste at all."
Yang Xuan smiled bitterly. He didn't usually drink.
Right at this moment, someone at the table next to them suddenly said, "Old Wang, I heard that the Li Clan from Taihe City has recently produced a batch of fine wine. Just drinking a mouthful can prolong one's life and make one feel like an immortal. My craving has been aroused. Sigh, what a pity, what a pity. We won't be able to drink such fine wine."
"Isn't that so? I even heard that this wine costs a hundred gold taels per bowl. Even if you and I were to sell ourselves, we still wouldn't be able to afford it."
While the two of them were sighing, they didn't notice that at the next table, there was a big man with a scar on his face whose eyes were already shining.
Xiang Donglai looked at Yang Xuan and smacked his lips. "Are you going or not?"
Yang Xuan was speechless, but he still nodded.
Since he had nothing to do, he might as well join in the fun.
The two of them left the tavern and asked for directions to Taihe City. They then flew all the way there.
Taihe City wasn't too far away, so the two of them didn't fly. They flew all the way and soon arrived at Taihe City.
After entering the city, Yang Xuan looked for someone to ask. The two of them were a little dumbfounded.
The Li Clan had a batch of fine wine, but this batch of fine wine wasn't for sale. It was rare for outsiders to have a taste.
The only time it happened was when a friend of the Li Clan's Old Master came to visit. The Li Clan's Old Master took out a bowl and served it. Only then did the name of the fine wine spread.
Xiang Donglai threw down a few coins and picked up two pears from a roadside stall. He threw one to Yang Xuan and then bit into the pear in his hand until the juice splattered everywhere. Only then did he ask, "What did he say?"
Yang Xuan also copied him and took a big bite.
After the sweet juice entered his throat, he pouted and asked, "What did Big Brother Xiang say?"
Xiang Donglai swallowed the remaining pear in his hand and his eyes lit up, "I remember when I was young, I always secretly drank my master's fine wine. In the end, my master found out and took it out for me to drink. However, I didn't have any interest in drinking it. After that, I came to the conclusion that stolen wine is always the best to drink."
Yang Xuan rolled his eyes. There was no one else who could explain the idea of stealing wine in such a philosophical way.
"Then what are we waiting for?"
Yang Xuan threw the pear core on the ground and found a trash bin next to the pear seller. He picked up the pear core and threw it into the trash bin.
The pear seller was an old man in tattered clothes. Seeing Yang Xuan's actions, he smiled at him.
Yang Xuan tossed out a piece of silver and picked up a few pears. Xiang Donglai was already looking at him with a smile, his eyes full of admiration for a hero who thought alike.
Yang Xuan threw him two pears and urged, "Let's go and drink!"
Xiang Donglai laughed and took a big bite of the pear. He then asked the pear seller, "Sir, how do I get to the Li family's residence?"
After the pear seller pointed the way, the two of them left.
Yang Xuan was about to walk in the direction of the Li family's residence when Xiang Donglai stopped him.
"At night, at night. Wine is best drunk at night."
What kind of theory was that? Yang Xuan rolled his eyes.
Xiang Donglai didn't look like a peak Dao-Reaching expert at all. He was just a drunkard who was drunk.
However, Yang Xuan was there to accompany him, so it didn't matter what time it was.
After that, the two of them found an inn and stayed for the night.
At night, Xiang Donglai knocked on Yang Xuan's door. When the door opened, Yang Xuan was a little speechless when he saw Xiang Donglai's appearance.
He was dressed in black and had a black cloth covering his face.
Did he look like he was going to steal wine? Was it a moonless and windy night the perfect time to kill someone?
Besides, with their skills, how could they be discovered by mortals?
Seeing Yang Xuan's strange expression, Xiang Donglai threw a mask to Yang Xuan and said, "Cover it, cover it. It's more fun to steal wine like this. I used to do this a lot when I was young, so I have experience."
Education should start from a child's age! Yang Xuan sighed in his heart and covered his face with the mask.
It was already late at night. The two of them sneaked out of the inn and headed straight for the Li family's residence.
The Li family was a big family in Taihe City. They occupied a large area of land and had all kinds of pavilions.
The two of them bypassed the guards and snuck into the Li family's residence. However, they were a little worried.
They didn't know where the wine was hidden.
Yang Xuan had no choice but to spread out his divine sense and search inch by inch until he found a large wine cellar in the backyard.
"Here, here!" Yang Xuan called out to Xiang Donglai and took the lead.
There was no one guarding the wine cellar. The heavy metal door and large lock on the ground didn't pose a problem for the two of them. Thus, when the two of them snuck into the wine cellar, Xiang Donglai looked at Yang Xuan strangely and asked, "Were you born in the year of the dog?"
"I was born in the year of the cat!" Yang Xuan said angrily.
Xiang Donglai laughed. His eyes were shining. The jars of wine in the large wine cellar almost made him drool.
Without saying anything, he casually picked up a jar of wine. After opening the seal, he drank to his heart's content.
The aroma of the wine filled the air.
However, Xiang Donglai frowned.
"It's not this bar. Although this jar of wine tastes good, it's a bit hard to say that it's good wine."
Yang Xuan couldn't tell if the wine was good or not. He smelled the same.
"Is it this one?" Yang Xuan took two steps forward and picked up a smaller jar. He opened the seal and handed it to Xiang Donglai.
Xiang Donglai took a sip and said, "It's better than the previous one, but it's still not it."
Yang Xuan looked around and found two wooden barrels in the corner. He walked over and saw a small lid on one side of the barrels.
He picked up the empty bowl beside him and unscrewed the lid. When the red wine flowed into the bowl, Yang Xuan was stunned.
Wine?
Xiang Donglai walked over and frowned at the liquid in the bowl. "What wine is this? Why is it this color? "
"This is called grape wine," Yang Xuan said.
Xiang Donglai took the bowl of wine. After taking a sip, his eyes lit up. "Hmm? This is delicious. "
Then, he finished the wine in the bowl in one gulp and went to the wooden barrel. He drank three bowls in a row. Only then did he burp with a satisfied expression.
"Good wine!" He said with hazy drunk eyes.
He drank enthusiastically, but Yang Xuan didn't say anything. After looking at the wall slightly, he groped around and pulled. A secret door was opened by him, revealing a small square. In the square, there were four wine jars.
Xiang Donglai walked over with a bowl of wine and said drunkenly, "Hmm? There's wine? Let me try. "
Then, he took out a small jar of wine, opened the seal, and was about to put it into his mouth.
"You can't drink this wine!" Yang Xuan stopped him. His eyes were cold.
