Chapter 46 (1/2)

Though Mu Wansu was surprised by Lin Xun’s composedness, when she saw the flagon Childe Shi took out, the expression on her face changed.

“Childe Shi…”

She could not keep silent anymore with anxiety between her frowned eyebrows.

“It’s okay.”

Shi Shuan waved his hands to stop Mu Wansu talking, and then lifted the flagon and poured a cup full of it.

As glittering and translucent as chrysophoron, the liquor was in dark cyan, giving out an elegant and refreshing fragrance.

Looking at the liquor, he murmured “Wonderful liquor” his eyes brightened.

He had keenly perceived the changed expression of Mu Wansu and doped out the liquor should either be highly toxic or extremely valuable and rare.

And the latter was more likely to be true since if those two intended to kill him, it was unnecessary to make use of the liquor considering their formidable power.

Then Lin Xun raised the cup and drank off the liquor, after which his eyes became brighter.

Like spring rain, the liquor with warm and gentle spirit energy spread to the limbs and bones and permeated the whole body fully.

Within the time of one breath, Lin Xun felt all his spirit energy boiling, saturating and flowing through the body cheerily.

Lin Xun couldn’t help to compliment, “Magical liquor indeed!”

Seeing what Lin Xun did, Shi Shuan was surprised and impressed by his free and easy attitude, so he laughed and added, “Brewed by Master Mei from the Heaven Workshop of The Green-deer School, the liquor is called Four Seasons. Like the wind slipped secretly into the night, the first cup of it moistened everything silently and softly.”

Meanwhile he served another cup of the liquor, “Now please have this second cup.”

Lin Xun was not hesitant and drank it off directly. Boom! As if scorching flood burst into his mouth, fierce and hot airflow ran madly in his body, making him shiver spontaneously. His face turned red immediately as every inch of his skin became red.

The feeling was like exposed under the sweltering summer. Burning hotness rolled over the whole body and copious spirit energy spurted out of every orifice and pore.

Lin Xun opened his mouth and stuck his tongue out, saying, “How can a pot of liquor taste so different in two shots? Master Mei at The Green-deer School is really a great brewing master.”

Hearing it, Mu Wansu was speechless and despised Lin Xun’s ignorance in heart. How could he not hear of Master Mei, one of the first class masters on refining medicinal pills and elixirs?

This pot of Four Seasons was a priceless treasure even in the Forbidden City, the imperial capital. Nobody had access to it except the bigwigs.

Even Mu Wansu, who could be counted as a famous and powerful person for being the principle of Keystone Business of Donglin Town,, dared not crave for a taste of Four Seasons.

However, Shi Shuan now served such a young boy at an obscure village with it. Feeling absurd, Mu Wansu also envied secretly in the heart. Ignorant the boy might be, he was really a lucky dog.

Knowing nothing of what Mu Wansu thought, Shi Shuan burst into laugh and said to Lin Xun, “Like scorching sun slid through the throat, the second cup of it would get into your stomach and burn it fiercely.”

Looking at Lin Xun’s bright red cheeks, he inquired, “Little brother, would you like to enjoy the third cup?”

Indeed, Lin Xun got into a muddle to some extent. He could hold the liquor, but due to the two cups of it, the spirit energy within his body rose suddenly and sharply, as if mountain torrents surged into a small pond which was too small to hold it.

Obviously, the Four Seasons was a kind of spiritual liquor which should be supremely precious and rare.

Lin Xun had no choice but to cultivate. Guided by Qi, the booming spirit energy looped constantly to dissolve the efficacy of the drug liquor.

Meanwhile, he smiled and answered, “It is known as Four Seasons, then if I miss the third and the fourth cups, how regretful I will be for a life time.”

“How shameless the boy is!”

Mu Wansu criticized him in the heart. She could tell Lin Xun had gotten the usages and benefits of Four Seasons. Supposedly, he should refuse it with reverence and awe. After all, the liquor was so expensive and rare that no one would accept it shamelessly.

However, Lin Xun was so insatiable.

Shi Shuan was also in a trance, and then looked Lin Xun up and down with sharp sight, saying, “Honestly, your respond is really out of my expectation. For a general practitioner at the Martial Realm, the first cup will make him drunk and fall to the ground due to the abundant spirit energy in it. However, you are totally different.”

With blurred eyesight and burning cheeks, Lin Xun mumbled, “Er…maybe I’m a good drinker.”

Shi Shuan laughed and filled the third cup with the liquor. Then unexpectedly, he pointed to the beast meats and furs in the yard and asked, “Have you killed so many beasts by yourself?”

Lin Xun shook his head and answered, “No. There was a battle in the deep mountains far away a few days ago, and these beasts were involved and killed during it. I was just lucky to pick them up.”

A battle!

Shi Shuan and Mu Wansu were both shocked.

As if having been drunk, Lin Xun continued, “You may not have heard of it. That battle was between two strong practitioners at the Spirit Sea Realm. One of them was flying on a sword like an immortal…”

It was Shie Yutang!

What Lin Xun said made Shi Shuan and Mu Wansu confirm their suspicion.

“Then who did he fight with?”

Mu Wansu could not help to ask.

“He is…Voodoo-barbarian?”

Lin Xun frowned and thought for a while, and then added, “I can’t remember it clearly.”
