Chapter 717 (2/2)
As the fine wine entered his stomach, it immediately turned into a warm flow.
Then, this warm flow spread out in his stomach, warming his entire body and also sending a stream of essence straight to his mind.
With the essence rising, Lin Jing felt his mind instantly clear up, although this clarity didn’t last long, just the duration of a breath, before it turned into another comfortable feeling of intoxication.
This feeling made one feel very comforted.
After the intoxication,
Lin Jing looked at Changyun Yuanlei sitting opposite him.
He saw that Changyun Yuanlei’s eyes were slightly closed, thoroughly enjoying the comfort, until a while later when Changyun Yuanlei finally reopened his eyes.
“That’s the feeling, it’s really fantastic.”
The wine must have been mixed with something special by that cloaked old man.
The initial clarity was due to the Jade Soul Algae, which Lin Jing knew.
However,
because the Jade Soul Algae was diluted too much, its effect was not very significant, leaving nothing after the clarity passed.
Lin Jing had taken real Jade Soul Algae before, so he naturally knew the quantity of Jade Soul Algae in this wine.
As for strengthening the Soul Spirit, although it indeed had a little effect, it was minimal and almost negligible.
However, the thing that caused intoxication was probably the real essence of the wine, although it couldn’t strengthen the Soul Spirit.
But that thing could make cultivators above the Divinity Transformation stage feel drunkenness like ordinary people drinking alcohol.
That thing ought to be quite extraordinary.
After finishing a cup, Lin Jing then poured another cup for each, and they continued drinking merrily.
Lin Jing and Changyun Yuanlei drank and talked at the same time.
The Drunken Soul Wine truly lived up to its name; just a few cups in, Changyun Yuanlei started to open up and talk freely like an ordinary person, sharing his experiences.
And Lin Jing, whose cultivation was much higher than Changyun Yuanlei’s, though feeling a bit intoxicated,
was far from drunk.
Lin Jing didn’t talk much; most of the time, he just quietly listened to Changyun Yuanlei’s stories.
…
…
“Big brother!”
“You don’t know, my sister, she really bullied me from childhood.
In front of her, I didn’t dare to be naughty at all.”
“She tells me to go east, and I absolutely dare not go west.”
Changyun Yuanlei was indeed drunk, and at this point, he had begun recounting his childhood experiences.
From his words, Lin Jing learned that Changyun Yuanlei had a sister, Changyun Yuanshuang.
Just like siblings growing up together in an ordinary family, Changyun Yuanshuang had absolute authority over her brother.
In front of his sister, Changyun Yuanlei was like a docile kitten, not daring to misbehave at all.
……
As Changyun Yuanlei spoke, he gulped down another mouthful of wine, enjoying the taste of the Drunken Soul Wine while expressing his grievances.
At this moment, Changyun Yuanlei’s eyes were blurry, but he still talked at length to Lin Jing:
“Last time…”
“It was last time, when my clan had given me a Dao Artifact Pill Furnace, but she ended up taking it away.”
“No choice, since she’s my sister.”
“My sister took the Cloud Pattern Purple Gold Furnace from me just to give it to someone else, don’t think I wouldn’t know just because I do not venture out often.”
“What Pill Furnace?”
Lin Jing was shocked when he heard about the Cloud Pattern Purple Gold Furnace, and without thinking, he quickly asked again.
Changyun Yuanlei looked at Lin Jing with somewhat hazy eyes and said matter-of-factly:
“The Cloud Pattern Purple Gold Furnace!”
After saying that, he then realized and quickly explained to Lin Jing:
“Almost forgot, big brother, you don’t know!”
“That Cloud Pattern Purple Gold Furnace is a Dao Artifact Pill Furnace, entirely cast from cloud-patterned purple gold, and also personally inscribed with formation patterns by a Sixth Rank Array Master, really powerful.”
“That Cloud Pattern Purple Gold Furnace was originally a gift the family wanted to give me, but my sister said she encountered some trouble and needed a Pill Furnace.”
“So, under her threats and temptations, she had me give my newly acquired Cloud Pattern Purple Gold Furnace to her.”
At this point, Changyun Yuanlei laughed and continued:
“Ha-ha…”
“She didn’t tell me, but don’t think I wouldn’t know that it wasn’t because she had trouble.”
“It’s because her childhood friend and my prospective brother-in-law, Lu Youjiu, got into trouble, so she tricked the Pill Furnace from me to give to Lu Youjiu.”
“As for what Lu Youjiu wants with that Pill Furnace, I have no idea.”
Hearing this, Lin Jing now understood everything.
His Cloud Pattern Purple Gold Furnace, the one Lu Youjiu had given him, turns out to have come from Changyun Yuanlei.
It seems…
he and Changyun Yuanlei are indeed fated.
Even at that time, there was Changyun Clan’s hidden technique, the Changyun Hidden Technique,
which was also given to him by Lu Youjiu.
No wonder Lu Youjiu could easily get these, probably all thanks to Changyun Yuanlei’s sister, Changyun Yuanshuang.
Just now when Changyun Yuanlei mentioned Lu Youjiu, Lin Jing also suddenly remembered that he hadn’t seen Lu Youjiu, Holaw Three Rivers, and Yan Wanfei for a long time.
After they left for the Inner Sea, they never came back.
Now, so many years have passed, probably their cultivation has progressed by leaps and bounds…
