Chapter 382.3 (1/2)
The Second Step of Intent Realm
Before he could even feel happy that Ning Fan was finally heading to the exit of the area that displayed first level spiritual wines, he saw him enter where the mortal wines were.
This time, Ning Fan made up his mind to only drink mortal wine.
Cao Kang felt like weeping but no tears came out of his eyes. The reason he offered to guide Ning Fan was to get some delicious and powerful wines, not plain mortal wines!
“My young friend, Yun, mortal wines aren’t good to drink. I have a good friend at the Harmonious Spirit Realm in the Green Bamboo Palace who can brew extremely smooth and delicious second level spiritual wines. How about I take you there to have a try? If you like it, you can just purchase a few bottles. It’ll be better if you can buy a few for me as a gift too. Don’t worry. I have a very close relationship with that person. It won’t be difficult for me to get a discount…” Cao Kang sounded as if he was begging.
“No need. I think mortal wines are not bad.”
“Hai…” Cao Kang heaved a deep sigh.
Inwardly, he began to think that Ning Fan must be a person who did not know much about wines. Even a fool knew that first level and second level spiritual wines were better than mortal wines. However, he still insisted on drinking mortal wines…
It can’t be wrong. He must be a person who has no knowledge of wine. He just toys around and drinks whatever he likes!
Cao Kang really wanted to leave Ning Fan behind and go to the area where second level spiritual wines were with his yellow grade bamboo plate to have a good drink.
However, when he thought of Ning Fan who did not know much about wine, he was worried that the latter would be cheated by others and spend lots of money on buying mortal wines.
“Fine. I will follow him for the moment so that he won’t be cheated by others… *Sigh* It seems like I won’t be able to drink even a sip of second level spiritual wines today…”
Naturally, it was impossible for Cao Kang to know what Ning Fan was thinking.
Ning Fan’s mind was still absorbed in the Wu Country wine that was brewed by the young boy. He patted his storage pouch, took out a bottle of wine and drank it clean in one gulp. His demeanor was rather heroic.
“Good wine!” Ning Fan praised.
“You definitely haven’t tasted a genuinely excellent one…” Cao Kang criticized him internally.
What Cao Kang cared about was the medicinal power of the wine. As for Ning Fan, however, what mattered most to him was the new comprehensions and insights hidden within.
With a mouthful of wine, he suppressed his past hatred and grudges and puked out a clump of blood that had been residing within him for years. Then, his thoughts became clear and bright.
“The wine of Wu Country revived my past memories. As such, I puked out a clump of blood that suppressed my Heart’s Devil. Wine can help one diminish sad memories and allow one to preserve their happy memories. Wine can help one forget worries while inspiring joy. The former is about forgetting while the latter is about preserving…”
“Forgetting means erasing memories. Preserving means freezing and holding memories. There are three thousand great principles within a wine. However, I am only able to discover the Dao of Preserving!”
“Memories! I suppose my new divine intent is about memories!”
Ning Fan finally understood why his divine intent would increase whenever he drank wine.
It was because after his three types of intent realms had combined, his brand-new intent realm was memory!
Memory was a type of intent realm which was completely different from other intent realms such as his rain intent, mountain intent and etc.
Rain was tangible while mountain was also a physical thing. Memory, however, was intangible and invisible!
If the intent realms of the nine grades were considered as First Step Intent Realms, then Ning Fan’s brand new memory intent that he created from combining his three types of intent realms was a Second Step intent realm. In other words, it was an intent realm that was much greater than the Demon Intent of Fu Li!
It was a process where his intent realm turned into an incorporeal state from its former physical state.
Meanwhile, Ning Fan was thinking if a Third Step divine intent existed in this world where he had to turn his incorporeal divine intent back to a physical state!
Only then would it conform with the path of cultivation that was opened up by the Immortal Sovereign!
The Divine Intent of Rain could alter the weather. The Devil Intent of Evil Luo Mountain could simulate lofty mountains.
As for the Divine Intent of Memory, it could change and distort a cultivator’s memories and mess up their minds, eventually causing them to lose themselves.
In the mortal wines section, Ning Fan walked past each of the stalls.
The alcoholic drinks that were displayed for free tasting were all mortal wines. No cultivators had ever set their eyes upon these. To Ning Fan, however, these mortal wines were incomparably precious. He took up cup after cup and drank all of them clean in one gulp.
Although these wines were ordinary, they were able to bring back his memories.
