Chapter 678 Three Jars of Taoyao Wine (1/2)

Night enveloped the Cangxuan Sect. However, the atmosphere remained extremely lively, especially in Saint Genesis Peak, where a rare festive mood had taken over the place.

The reason behind this was naturally the legend Zhou Yuan had created that day.

Everyone clearly understood how much glory he had brought to Saint Genesis Peak with the Chosen challenge. It would be an exaggeration to say that this feat would be the pride of every future generation of Saint Genesis Peak disciples.

In the past, Saint Genesis Peak had basically been an invisible existence in the sect. However, no one dared to ignore them later on, especially now that Zhou Yuan had replaced Chu Qing as the new leader of the Cangxuan Sect Chosen.

Regardless of how it was put, Saint Genesis Peak’s rise was undoubtedly tightly tied to Zhou Yuan’s contributions.

Numerous disciples understood this. As such, Zhou Yuan’s status and prestige in Saint Genesis Peak had reached an unprecedented high. In fact, one could even say that the subst.i.tute peak master Shen Taiyuan was unable to compare...

...

In a certain cave dwelling.

A little creek snaked past a stone pavilion in the cave.

Yaoyao was holding an elaborate jade gourd, gently tilting it as crystal-clear wine flowed out from its mouth and into the three porcelain bowls on the table.

She put down the gourd and lifted one of the bowls. Her bright eyes looked towards Zhou Yuan as a faint smile emerged on her lips. “I promised to share a cup if you obtained a complete victory in the Chosen challenge...

“Congratulations.”

Zhou Yuan also lifted one of the bowls, feeling slightly dazed for a moment. No one knew better than himself how much he had hard work he had put in over these past two years.

The young man from the Shengzhou Continent from back then had finally achieved a little success today.

With various emotions swirling in his heart, Zhou Yuan gazed at the heart-stirringly beautiful face before him and softly said, “Yaoyao, thank you for being at my side all these years.

“Although master Cang Yuan tasked me to take care of your back then, I know that you’ve been the one who’s been taking care of me for the past few years.” His tone was somewhat self-mocking.

Without Yaoyao, Zhou Yuan did not know if he would have come so far today.

Yaoyao’s bright eyes focused on Zhou Yuan as she said, “Don’t undervalue yourself. If you believe relying on someone else can make you the leader of the Chosen, you underestimate the Cangxuan Sect far too much.”

She paused for a moment as she gently bit her red lips. There were some things that she did not say.

If not for Zhou Yuan’s company, she was unable to imagine how cold and colorless her world would be.

Without Zhou Yuan, she would have very likely completely abandoned all emotions long ago. After all, she was a very aloof and frigid person by nature.

Even her feelings towards the Cangxuan Sect were not as strong as the feelings she had for the cave dwelling she and Zhou Yuan had spent the past two years living in.

Only when Zhou Yuan was by her side did her cold indifference seem to unknowingly thaw a little. This made her feel as if she was a living and breathing human, not an ice-cold rock or...a G.o.d that was so high above the mortal realm that they would not even blink at its destruction.

Hence, she felt that she should be the one thanking him instead.

Zhou Yuan grinned at Yaoyao before he said in a mysterious manner, “I have a gift for you.”

Yaoyao was taken aback. There was a puzzled look in her crystal-clear eyes as she looked at him.

Zhou Yuan gently patted the spatial bag at his waist, causing three jars of wine to appear on the table.

“Alcohol?” Yaoyao looked over as her red lips stuck out slightly. “I’ve become very picky about alcohol. I hope that you didn’t get an ordinary brew.”

Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows as he chuckled and said, “Open it and take a look.”

Yaoyao swatted off the clay seal on the jar and took a sniff with her perky nose. A rich and mellow fragrance immediately a.s.saulted her senses, causing her eyes to brighten slightly. She savored the alcohol before an extremely rarely seen look of joy appeared on her face.

“This, this is...the Taoyao Wine?! You’ve managed to make it?!”

Yaoyao had found a long-lost wine recipe some time back, and she was so fond of it that she had even given it a name. However, the brewing process was exceedingly difficult, and the ingredients required were very challenging to find. She had never imagined that Zhou Yuan would manage to produce it!

Yaoyao showed no hesitation as she poured away the wine in her bowl before carefully filling it with Taoyao Wine. The wine had a faint ruby hue and was as clear as crystal.
