Chapter 1524 (2/2)

“What? What is that supposed to mean?” Long Chen’s reply was very unsatisfactory to Tu Qianshang.

“Do you really need me to say it? Fine, what I mean is, amongst everyone, your progress is the slowest. The attack of yours contained the peak of the Yang path. It was fierce and domineering, but it only contained the slightest trace of the soft, Yin side. If I wasn’t familiar with you, I wouldn’t have even been able to sense it. So I said not bad, mostly because I’ve drunk so much of your wine. I just feel bad criticizing you,” said Long Chen helplessly.

Although Long Chen’s cultivation base was not as high as Tu Qianshang’s, his eyesight was very sharp. Tu Qianshang had always pursued the domineering Yang side, wanting to push that Yang side to the peak. Such a path was limited.

So when Long Chen had prepared the medicinal wine formulas for him, he had added in the softer Yin side. These wine formulas had even been praised by the High Priest, and he had said that they were very suitable for Tu Qianshang.

Unfortunately, this was incredibly difficult for Tu Qianshang. It was like asking a fierce butcher to put down his blade, and wield handkerchiefs in a graceful and light dance. That sight was practically unimaginable.

So even after all this time, Tu Qianshang had only progressed very slightly on that path. His progress was the slowest amongst the Wine G.o.d Palace’s disciples. His character was just too fierce, and it was difficult to change it.

“Then what should I do?” demanded Tu Qianshang, vexed. He naturally understood the reasoning behind this, but he just wasn’t capable of doing so.

“Perhaps you should find a female fatty to study with you.” Long Chen shrugged. He raised his eyebrows a couple of times. That appearance, it was a bit… yes, a bit wretched.

“Are you serious?” Tu Qianshang was stunned.

“What, do you think I would trick you?”

“But… the Wine G.o.d Palace’s are prohibited from marrying,” said Tu Qianshang.

“What? How are you so perverted? What I was saying is, you should find a woman to discuss the Dao with. You should learn from each other, one man and woman, one Yin and one Yang, one soft and one hard. Yin and Yang cannot exist without each other. You need to learn how to control Yin energy, and to do that, you need to learn what Yin is, what softness is. It’s not like I was telling you to do that. How are you so dirty-minded? What are you thinking about all day?” demanded Long Chen disdainfully.

Tu Qianshang glared at him, knowing that he had been conned again.

“Young friend Long Chen, you really are the blessing of my Wine G.o.d Palace.”

Long Chen came to a stop. He realized that they had arrived in front of the High Priest’s residence without him noticing. The lean and hearty High Priest looked the same as ever and was standing outside.

Seeing him actually come out to greet him, Long Chen hastily bowed. Long Tianxiao, Mrs. Long, and Xiaoyu followed suit.

When Long Chen stated his true purpose in coming here, the High Priest laughed, “My Wine G.o.d Palace hasn’t had guests staying long-term for a long time. Just like you said, Yin and Yang cannot exist on their own. We must be both apart from the world and a part of the world. The Wine G.o.d Palace has been cheerless lately, and having a few guests will be good. I will represent the Wine G.o.d Palace in welcoming our new guests. Hong Yan, bring our respected guests for a tour.”

A female disciple appeared and smilingly held Xiaoyu’s hand as she led Long Chen’s family away to familiarize themselves with their new home.

“Many thanks, High Priest.” Long Chen gratefully bowed.

Long Chen was especially grateful now. The Wine G.o.d Palace was supposed to be a pure cultivation land for wine, and it never allowed outsiders in. The High Priest was entirely giving him face.

Originally, with Long Chen’s pride, he would never beg others. But within the entire continent, only the Wine G.o.d Palace had the power to guarantee his family’s protection, and the High Priest hadn’t hesitated to agree. Long Chen made sure to remember this favor.

“Come in.” The High Priest smiled and beckoned Long Chen into his residence. He took out a jar of wine and poured out two cups, handing one to Long Chen.

Long Chen gratefully received it with two hands. Looking at the wine, he cried out in shock, “High Priest, you… you succeeded?”

Long Chen saw that the wine had countless small bubbles flowing within it naturally. They were flowing slowly but never paused, revolving according to a profound trajectory. It was like the transformations of heaven and earth were represented within it.

“It can’t count as a success. It’s just an initial advance, and it’s thanks to your help. Your brazen ideas and inferences were what gave me the insights to break through my bottleneck and advance once more. Don’t you want to taste it?” The High Priest smiled warmly.

Long Chen took a sip of the wine and almost choked. Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, all the flavors of life were intertwining. This flavor was overwhelming.

This definitely couldn’t count as fine wine, but it couldn’t count as bad wine either. It was almost impossible to swallow.

However, when it entered his stomach, the wine began to circulate in it, and then streams of energy flowed through his body.

What shocked him was that his 108,000 stars activated on their own to absorb the wine energy.

At the same time, streams of energy entered his mind, and it immediately became empty. He entered a state of total enlightenment. His thought process became incomparably clear, and he almost seemed to grasp some kind of profound law. That feeling was indescribable.

“Good wine!”

After an unknown amount of time, Long Chen slowly opened his eyes.
