Chapter II Initial Appearance of Jade Balls
Mu Rong Kongming thought to himself. Even he could feel that he was holding his breath at a distance of thirty meters!
Mu Rong Kongming cupped his fist and said, ”My two esteemed guests, please come to this humble residence. I apologize for not welcoming you!”
The grey-clothed old man laughed disdainfully, ”Mayor Murong has spoken too much. You have been gazing at this pavilion from afar for half a day now. This is the only way for the mayor to welcome you.”
Mu Rong Kongming was shocked. This person really had great skill, he didn't expect that every single move he made in the Ru Yi Workshop would be noticed. He hurriedly smiled and said, ”This lowly one only admires these two masters and doesn't dare to disturb me.
The grey-clothed old man seemed to be reveling in the wine as he slowly said, ”In this old man's opinion, the bustle of this city is not even comparable to a cup of spring wine with jade walls.”
It was Mu Rong Kongming's great-grandfather who had broken through the third beast tide to celebrate the Primal Chaos. On the day of the Spring Equinox, he had used a special method passed down by his ancestors to brew the wine with citrus, inviting all of the mortals to celebrate together. When it came to Mu Rong Kong Ming, he had used Jade Wall City's Spring Water to brew this wine. The wine had a pleasant taste, and was revered by the world as a superior wine. Due to the complex brewing process and the lack of water from the greediness spring, the spring color jade wall could only be sold in the Dragon Tongue Aperture, with the exception of the Supreme Mystery Capital and the twelve pots. Looking around the entire Qing Qiu mountain, other than the true disciples of the Supreme Mystery, if they could taste the spring colors of the jade wall, they could also be considered to be enjoying the luxury of the mortal world. After that, there was another downcast scholar called ”Laughing at the Yellow Citrus Wine”, which was passed down as ”Laughing at the Yellow Citrus Wine Awakening, Jade Pot Jin Dou Ye Sheng Bing”. ”Who will sing a limpid song on the column, and the jade wall will be lit up by the moon in spring.” The world is even more eager to buy and drink this wine. Beautiful wine reflects beautiful scenery. In the Dragon Tongue Divide, the jade wall's spring color corresponds to the ”Treading on the Snow for the Plum” scenery.
Mu Rong Kongming sat down at the alcohol table and laughed heartily. ”Haha, you two masters, it's better to know your own wine when it's time for a reunion. You two masters, today's spring jade wall is enough, count it as my, Mu Rong Kongming's!”
The white clothed man loudly said, ”What a good 'meeting friend'. Today, you and I are fated for each other. I never would have thought that Mayor Murong was also a person with feelings of camaraderie.”
It was just that their skills were unfathomable. Thus, with a smile on his face, he said softly, ”May I ask what your names are? I would like to leave this Ruoxi Pavilion so that you can come and taste the spring colors of the Jade Wall at any time.”
The white robed man seemed to have sensed something as he muttered, ”How can that be? We are just commoners in the mortal world. I, Dugu Jiuyi, happened to pass by Jade Wall City yesterday to explore the mountains and seek directions.” His eyes flashed, full of anticipation and sincerity.
They were both travelling across the world, and they had met before. However, who would care about each other's past? Just like this person, immortal, god, demon, spirit, and demon, everyone had their own thoughts and interests, but no one cared about each other's past.
This Dugu Jiuyi was originally the capital of the Immortal World — the Mysterious Immortal from the Kunlun Ruins. His cultivation had already reached the eighth of the nine realms, the ”Mysterious Mysterious Mysteries”, and because of that, he was ranked the ”Extreme Immortal”, only second to the Immortal World's Sect Leader and Heavenly Immortal. He gradually grew tired of the lonely, lifeless, and ungrateful path of cultivation. Thus, he abandoned his own Immortal energy in front of all the other immortals, disregarded the path of cultivation, and willingly entered the mortal world to experience the life of a wild crane in the mortal world. He experienced the pain of being reincarnated into the cycle of life and death, and knew that flowers were blooming and falling. Because his Psionic Wonderful Realm was so profound, it would be difficult for his Supreme Celestial Intelligence to completely eradicate it from his body in such a short period of time, so at this moment, Dugu Jiuyi still had a few strands of immortal energy left in his body, allowing him to exchange blows with Daoist Qingyi.
These six realms' conflicts were very common, causing bloodshed in the body and heart. However, no one could be as open-minded as Dugu Jiuyi, who could see through everything and put down everything.
At this time, the grey-clothed old man finally spoke, and said with a stern voice: ”A man with the same name as heaven and earth, the same name as the sun and moon, does he really need to have a name? This old man has long forgotten my name, so just call me Mr. Wine! ” Saying that, he continued to drink his wine.
When these words came out, Murong Kongming's plan failed. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to find out the names of the two people and find out their background, but he didn't expect that Dugu Jiuyi's name wouldn't be verified and that the grey-clothed old man wouldn't even tell him his name.
Dugu Jiu raised his cup and invited, ”Mayor Murong has been here for such a long time, why haven't you shared a cup of wine?”
Mu Rong Kong Ming's face turned slightly pale as he apologized, ”Mister Dugu doesn't know this. Although I am well versed in the arts of wine, I never drink alcohol …” Mu Rong Kong Ming complained incessantly in his heart. Ah, the weakness of him not drinking wine was often discovered on the table, and he became the target of ridicule. Now, he wanted to find out more about the two of them, and it seemed that he would be ridiculed again.
The grey-clothed old man laughed heartily, ”Haha, so the QIng Qiu Mountain actually has such a restrained and extraordinary person. To not touch wine, I'm impressed!” His words sounded kind and there was no sarcasm or sarcasm in them. It also made Mu Rong Kongming suddenly feel a kind of warmth in his heart, and with his experience of the six realms, he felt that although these two had profound dao abilities, unknown origins, and odd behavior, they did not have malicious intents. Instead, their words and actions revealed true kindness.
Mu Rong Kongming took the initiative to pour the two of them another cup of wine and cupped his fist again as he said, ”From now on, Jade Wall City's Dragon's Note and Dragon's Heart Pavilion will be reserved for you two masters at any time. The jade wall that you drink will belong to me, Mu Rong Kongming!”
Dugu Jiuyi looked at the grey-clothed old man and said with a smile, ”We will not accept without merit. Mayor Murong is so generous to the two of us, how can we accept it?”
Before the grey-clothed old man could speak, Mu Rong Kongming spoke first, ”The wine is a gift to the fated one. Today, the three of us meet and we chat happily. The two of you are also very emotional. I, Mu Rong Kongming, love to make friends. The two of you are my friends from now on.
