159: The Wu tribe brews a grand wine, and the Queen Mother of the West meets the King Father of the East.

Before long, Li Yun returned to the Wu Clan.

However, at this moment, Ancestor Witches like Houtu had not yet emerged from seclusion, and even Dijiang had gone out to attend to some matters; only Zhu Jiuyin was overseeing the overall situation within the Wu Clan.

Regarding this, Li Yun could only find Zhu Jiuyin, hoping to get the help of the Wu Clan members to brew wine for him.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Jiuyin agreed extremely readily.

He was even more enthusiastic than Li Yun, directly mobilizing over a hundred thousand Wu Clan members to help with the brewing.

Of course, the vast majority of this wine would stay within the Wu Clan, and only a small portion would be taken away by Li Yun.

But that didn't matter much. Drawing on his memories of the future, Li Yun produced simple fruit wines, yellow rice wines, and even white spirits.

However, the refining techniques of this era were not very good; distillation required several rounds of purification to reach a satisfactory level.

For a time, the consumption of brewing Materials, fruits, and other items within the Wu Clan was immense.

However, after Zhu Jiuyin tried the wine brewed under Li Yun's guidance, he was immediately hooked and issued an order for the entire Wu Clan to take action.

Not only were they collecting brewing Materials, but to obtain even more, he even commanded the Great Wu groups to forcibly expand the Wu Clan Territory by another circle.

Ten years later, all the wine had been brewed.

Under these circumstances, Li Yun once again performed Artifact Refining to create some wine gourds.

After filling the gourds with a tenth of each type of wine, Li Yun stopped, put away the wine gourds, and looked at Ancestor Witch Zhu Jiuyin, saying, "Ancestor Witch Zhu Jiuyin, thank you for the Wu Clan's help during this time!"

"If it weren't for the assistance of the Wu Clan members, I wouldn't have been able to brew so much wine."

This was no joke.

Brewing wine requires many Materials; even though Li Yun had many things in his middle dantian space, he couldn't produce it on such a large scale.

But the Wu Clan was different.

After all, they were the number one race in Honghuang, occupying the vast and boundless land; their speed in collecting Materials and brewing was extremely fast.

"Fellow Daoist Li Yun, don't say that!"

With a hearty laugh, Zhu Jiuyin took a swig from a wine gourd and smacked his lips in satisfaction, saying, "If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Li Yun's guidance, how could my Wu Clan have brewed so much fine wine?"

"Fellow Daoist Li Yun might not know this, but what my Wu Clan loves most is drinking. Unfortunately, we only had those mediocre fruit wines before. This yellow rice wine and white spirit—their taste is truly refreshing!"

"Once Sister Houtu and the others achieve their Breakthrough, I plan to invite Honghuang Cultivators to a feast within the Wu Clan. With this wine available, the banquet will surely be even more lively."

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Li Yun, I've asked around recently. In the North Sea Region, there is a Cultivator who calls himself the Wine God. It's said he has several kinds of wine that are very magical and delicious, but I don't know the specifics. You'll have to go and investigate for yourself!"

The Wine God of the North Sea!

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as Li Yun's lips curled up. "Interesting. Since he calls himself the Wine God, I really must go and meet him when the time comes!"

"Ancestor Witch Zhu Jiuyin, now that the matter is settled, I should take my leave."

"After all these years, I plan to go out and gain some experience through traveling!"

Hearing this, Zhu Jiuyin nodded and did not refuse.

He knew Li Yun was an outlier among Cultivators; compared to closed-door cultivation, he preferred traveling to seek opportunities.

But it was precisely because of this that Li Yun's cultivation level improved so rapidly.

When they first met, Li Yun was only in the Profound Immortal Realm, and in just this short time, he has already reached the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say his speed of improvement surpasses 99% of Honghuang Cultivators.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jiuyin took out a command medallion and tossed it to Li Yun, saying, "Fellow Daoist, this is my medallion. If you encounter danger, crush it."

"Inside it, I've stored a trace of the power of the Law of Time. It can freeze an opponent for at least a dozen breaths. With your speed, you should be able to retreat or even kill the enemy in return!"

Li Yun's eyes lit up as he hurriedly took the medallion and bowed to Zhu Jiuyin. "Thank you, Ancestor Witch Zhu Jiuyin!"

Stored power of the Law of Time.

This was also a method and trump card that could not be underestimated.

Freezing an opponent for a dozen breaths—with Zhu Jiuyin's current Quasi-Saint Realm, the target would surely be a Quasi-Saint, while a Grand Unity Golden Immortal would only be frozen for even longer.

In this way, let alone one enemy, even a group of enemies could be killed in return using this.

After a few more brief pleasantries, Li Yun didn't linger. He bid farewell to Zhu Jiuyin and used an Escape Technique to leave the Wu Clan Territory. He headed straight east, with his destination set for the East Sea Region... A certain island in the East Sea!

Inside a magnificent palace, East King Duke stood up excitedly and looked at the Queen Mother of the West nearby, asking, "Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, are you serious?"

"Are you truly willing to marry me?"

Facing the question, a hint of complexity flashed in the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West.

Since she was expelled from West Kunlun Mountain by the Three Pure Ones, the matter quickly fermented and spread throughout Honghuang.

With the Three Pure Ones having established their own forces, countless small factions and Great Divine Power Holders wanted to curry favor with them, relentlessly pursuing and intercepting the Queen Mother of the West's group along the way.

Her subordinates suffered over 80% losses, and even 70% of her suitors had left. Only then did she escape to the East Sea Region and encounter East King Duke, who had recently established his Dao arena there.

At this time, East King Duke had also reached the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, just one step away from advancing to a Quasi-Saint, and the same was true for the Queen Mother of the West.

Both were the incarnations of extreme yang and extreme yin.

Once they engaged in Yin and Yang Dual Cultivation, they could gain immense benefits. While balancing Yin and Yang to strengthen their Origin, there was also a high probability of them advancing to the Quasi-Saint Realm.

Thinking of her experiences and humiliations along the way, the killing intent in the Queen Mother of the West's heart grew stronger. She looked up at East King Duke and said, "That's right!"

"I am willing to marry you!"

"But as a price, you need to complete three things before I will marry you in the true sense!"

Hearing this, East King Duke was incredibly excited.

He hadn't been pursuing the Queen Mother of the West for just a day or two; it had been a persistence of hundreds of thousands of years.

Besides the Queen Mother of the West's beauty and temperament, the more important factor was her status as the Shapeshifting incarnation of extreme yin, which complemented him.

Now that the Queen Mother of the West had finally relented, let alone three conditions, even if there were thirty or three hundred, he would risk his life to complete them.

At this thought, East King Duke immediately said, "Please enlighten me, Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West!"

"What three things do I need to complete?"

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist, no matter what, I will risk his life to finish them. After all, my heart for you remains unchanged through the ages!"

"Even if I am ground to dust, I will complete what you have entrusted to me!"
