Chapter 715 (1/2)
Shun Long didn't pay any attention to the Elders or the disciples of the Holy sect around him, as he led Liu Mei and the others towards an empty spot not far away from the 'Darkness Eagle'.
Waving his hand, 5 small meditative cushions appeared in front of him, along with 5 small wooden jugs of wine.
Liu Mei, Xingyi, Jiang Chen, and Bai Longtian, all sat down on the meditative cushions around Shun Long and took a jar of wine each, without any hesitation.
After spending nearly 2 years within the Holy sect's territory, Jiang Chen and the rest all knew by now, that Shun Long's wine was indeed the best wine in the entire Holy sect.
Thus, every time they had a chance to drink together, they would always be looking forward to drink Shun Long's wine.
In reality, nobody knew that to create a single barrel of wine, Shun Long needed to use dozens of rank 6, as well as more than a hundred rank 5 and rank 4 medicinal herbs and blend them together, before he left the wine inside his herb garden for more than 500 years.
Every single medicinal herb had been blended together seamlessly, drawing out their most fragrant and potent qualities.
Of course, neither of those conditions were hard for Shun Long, but it would be impossible for anyone else to replicate this.
Even if someone knew the medicinal herbs required to make this wine, it would still be impossible to create it unless their level of understanding in alchemy had exceeded Shun Long's own.
Indeed, as soon as the lids from the 5 wooden jars were removed, an intoxicating fragrance spread out from the jars, assaulting Liu Mei's and the others' senses.
At the same time that Shun Long and the rest started to drink, the 'Darkness Eagle' that was sitting on the ground with its eyes closed seemed to have sensed something, as it turned its attention towards Shun Long's group.
Normal eagles had an almost non-existent sense of smell, but how could the senses of an early rank 7 'Darkness Eagle' be compared to that of normal animals?
The eagle stood up and started to walk towards Shun Long's group a moment later, attracting the attention of the inner court Elders and the disciples who were sitting a few meters away from it.
''Eh? What is the 'Darkness Eagle' doing?''
''It looks like... it's heading towards Shun Long's group!? Could it be that the Grand Elder sent an order to it?''
The eagle arrived in front of Shun Long and the others in the blink of an eye, and stared at the wine jars in their hands as if it was looking at a treasure that it had never seen before.
Its eyes glimmered for a few seconds before it turned its gaze towards Shun Long, and surprisingly, the early rank 7 magic beast suddenly let out a pleading whimper.
Liu Mei, Xingyi, Bai Longtian, and Jiang Chen were all surprised when they saw this scene.
An early rank 7 magic beast... was pleading right in front of them?
Magic beasts were famed for their cruel and bloodthirsty natures, so how could the 'Darkness eagle' act like a puppy in front of them?
However, although Liu Mei and the others were all surprised, the inner court Elders felt as if an explosion was taking place inside their minds at that moment.
They knew that the Grand Elder's 'Darkness Eagle' was an extremely arrogant magic beast that didn't even look at early stage Dao Emperors as its equals.
It didn't even respect middle stage Dao Emperors wince it could escape from them at any time using its innate technique.
If it wasn't because of the Grand Elder, a peak rank 9 Dao Emperor taming it, the 'Darkness Eagle' wouldn't have even allowed the Elders of the Holy sect to sit on its back while they traveled.
And yet, this very same 'Darkness Eagle' was pleading an outer court disciple for the wine in his hands?
At the same time, inside the 'Stone of Time', Little Black opened his bright blue eyes and stared at the eagle with a cold look of displeasure.
If the eagle could see the look inside the eyes of the black dragon, it would be unknown if it would have collapsed on the ground trembling in fear, or if it would have directly lost consciousness.
