148: Chapter 148 Seventh-Rank Alchemist Liu Ling

Gulp...

Amidst looks of surprise and bewilderment, the group exchanged glances and slowly brought the jade bottles to their lips.

The thin, warm jade bottles contained an amber liquid, and the crystalline, viscous aroma of the wine wafted out, its mellow fragrance making everyone's eyes light up.

After they drank the monkey spirit wine, their previously resentful eyes suddenly widened, as if they had discovered some extraordinary treasure.

Once it entered their stomachs, the wine's energy surged like a wild dragon leaving the sea, bringing a drunkenness that spanned a thousand autumns and swept away the ages.

With one mouthful of the monkey spirit wine down, they closed their eyes. The wine's energy was gentle, and the moment it entered their mouths, the aftertaste was endless, flowing like a great Yangtze River, surging without cease.

"Good wine..."

You Peng was a lover of wine, and the fine wines he usually collected were absolutely no match for the deliciousness of today's monkey spirit wine.

"This monkey wine is extraordinary... The energy it contains rivals that of medicinal pills, but it is purer and easier to absorb than the power of pills..."

At this moment, a man wearing an Alchemist's robe, with a tall and upright figure, looking only to be in his prime, with a handsome face, spoke up.

His face exuded a certain delicate, feminine charm and a gentle smile; such an appearance was extremely attractive to some women.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the Alchemist badge worn on his chest, which had seven silver ripples that shimmered in the sunlight.

The one who spoke was Liu Ling, a Seventh-Rank Alchemist.

"Liu Ling, this monkey wine has pure energy that is no worse than medicinal pills... It is even more precious than pills, as it also satisfies the palate," Yan Yun asked.

At this time, Liu Ling, being an Alchemist, did not reply to Yan Yun; instead, his gaze fell upon Hun Tiandi, who was slowly opening his eyes.

Hun Tiandi seemed to sense it and turned his head to look at Liu Ling.

"Master, this monkey spirit wine..." Liu Ling stepped forward. Having drunk a mouthful of the monkey spirit wine earlier, as an Alchemist, he naturally tasted the medicinal energy within it, and his heart was filled with curiosity.

"How is this monkey spirit wine?" Hun Tiandi did not respond directly, but instead asked about the monkey spirit wine.

"A top-grade vintage that rivals medicinal pills," Liu Ling pondered slightly before commenting.

Hun Tiandi nodded with satisfaction. To have the monkey spirit wine he brewed rated so highly by a Seventh-Rank Alchemist naturally put him in a pleasant mood.

Swish...

Hun Tiandi flipped his hand to take out a piece of white paper, tapped it in the air, and the paper, covered in dense, small characters, flew toward Liu Ling.

Liu Ling took the white paper, and as his gaze landed on it, his eyes erupted with a brilliant light.

His palms trembled slightly, as if he had seen a new path.

In fact, compared to Liu Ling's shock at the monkey spirit wine recipe, Hun Tiandi was somewhat excited. This time, the Xiao Family had actually sent him a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, and he was truly satisfied.

A high-ranking Alchemist would be respected in any faction.

"Do you want to learn? I will teach you," Hun Tiandi said with a smile as he took a sip of the monkey spirit wine.

"This..." Liu Ling was somewhat breathless. If he learned how to brew the monkey spirit wine, combined with his superb alchemy skills, he might one day become a master of both pills and wine, famous throughout the Fighting Qi Continent.

Thinking of this, the light in the depths of Liu Ling's eyes became even more brilliant. He then hesitated and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master, but this subordinate already has a teacher..."

Hun Tiandi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Liu Ling, saying, "Who is your teacher..."

"My teacher is Gu He." There was a smile on Liu Ling's handsome face; it was clear that Liu Ling respected Gu He very much.

"Gu He?" Hun Tiandi murmured, "It doesn't matter. As long as you want to learn, I will teach you."

Hun Tiandi did not care about the inheritance of the monkey spirit wine. As long as he was willing, with the alchemy canon in hand, he could have as many wine recipes as he wanted.

Be it monkey spirit wine or medicinal pills, they were merely minor arts.

Moreover, with the Blood Spirit Master-Servant Slave Seal upon him, cultivating Liu Ling was equivalent to accumulating his own foundation. In the future, when he formed his own organization, various monkey spirit wines would be sold throughout the entire Fighting Qi Continent.

As the progenitor of the monkey spirit wine lineage, he naturally hoped that the monkey spirit wine would become popular across the continent.

"Liu Ling thanks Master for the cultivation." Liu Ling bowed slightly. He had originally thought that after learning he already had a master, Hun Tiandi would be unwilling to teach him the art of brewing the monkey spirit wine.

Hun Tiandi nodded indifferently, flipped his hand to take out a storage ring, handed it to Liu Ling, and said, "Deliver this to Miss Xiao Yuer..."

Immediately, Liu Ling's figure disappeared from the valley.

"Once Liu Ling returns, we will leave immediately..." Hun Tiandi ordered, then suddenly turned his gaze toward a mountain peak.

A group of people was standing there, led by a man and a woman—the familiar Tang Junyao and Mr. Shui Xing.

His sharp gaze fell upon Tang Junyao, causing her delicate body to tremble.

That intense pressure caused her heart to panic.

In fact, Hun Tiandi did not want to provoke the Burning Flame Valley yet, at least not for now...

He immediately withdrew his gaze. Originally, Tang Junyao had raised her jade hand, intending to send the experts following behind her to join forces with the three major factions to suppress Hun Tiandi.

Unfortunately, the opportunity was lost. If they had acted at the beginning, they might have succeeded.

"Bastard..." After being ignored, a wave of anger rose in Tang Junyao's heart. As the eldest young lady of the Burning Flame Valley, she was full of superiority wherever she went.

She had never been so directly ignored.

Swish...

At this moment, Liu Ling also returned to the valley, having completed the task assigned by Hun Tiandi.

"Let's go!" Hun Tiandi flew toward the outside of the valley, the group following closely behind, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In the distance, Miss Xiao Yuer held the storage ring in her hand while reading a letter, her body radiating a violent aura.

The bluestones around her feet shattered, and her killing intent soared to the heavens.

Beside her, Jian Liuxing suddenly dodged to avoid the agitated Miss Xiao Yuer.

Flying into the high sky, terrifying energy surged from Miss Xiao Yuer's body as she shouted sharply, "Yun Tian, get out here!"

This letter was the root cause of Miss Xiao Yuer's rampage, and Jian Liuxing had also read the letter in her hand.

"It is about Hun Tiandi withdrawing from the pavilion. He expressed gratitude for the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion's painstaking cultivation, and at the same time, the Ten Thousand Sword Art technique bestowed by Tang Ying was also returned..."

Jian Liuxing's expression changed drastically, and he whispered, "For such a young talent to leave is a loss for the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion. Not only did he master the Ten Thousand Sword Art, but he also comprehended Sword Intent..."

When the Pavilion Master comes out of seclusion, how will we explain this?

However, what Jian Liuxing did not understand was: "The trouble has already been solved, why did he still leave?"

In the distance, Hun Tiandi looked back at Miss Xiao Yuer in the sky, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth. After this commotion, his relationship with Miss Xiao Yuer had dropped to the freezing point.

He also knew that she came from the Xiao Family; he could only blame fate for playing tricks, as they were destined to have no relationship.

Looking at Jian Liuxing again, he sighed in his heart. His cultivation life in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion had just reached the one-year mark, and he was already leaving.

This was Hun Tiandi's choice; once he stayed, it would bring a catastrophic disaster to the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.

It was probably the fastest departure record since the founding of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.

He had already made up his mind; he would take this opportunity to do that one important thing that concerned the future.

Now that he had caused such a stir in the Central Plains and stirred up the winds and clouds, it was better to take advantage of the situation and move from the light into the shadows; that was the best choice.

Avoid the sharpness of their blades for now.

"Let's go!" Hun Tiandi flipped his hand to pull up the hood behind his head, his whole body wrapped in a wide black robe, and he flew toward the distance.

Behind him, his subordinates Yan Xing, You Peng, Liu Ling, Yao Yufei, and others were also wrapped in black robes, disappearing from the spot.

In the sky, Miss Xiao Yuer and Jian Liuxing scanned the surroundings, but there was no response.

Mr. Shui Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, waved his feather fan, and said indifferently, "The sea is vast and the sky is high; the dragon transforms and flies into the sky."

He had an instinctive intuition.

A storm that would shake the Central Plains was sweeping across the world with a destructive momentum.

A young man named Yun Tian, who was actually Hun Tiandi, had fallen into the eyes of many factions.
