647: Chapter 647 Nine Heavens Breath Soil
You nod and follow him into the mansion.
A welcome feast has already been prepared in the living room, and everyone takes their seats.
There are no rare immortal delicacies with soaring spiritual light on the table, no Dragon Liver or Phoenix Marrow, just—a plate of roasted mysterious chicken, a dish of pickled radishes, a bowl of braised pork, a basket of steamed dumplings, a jar of Moon-Glory Drunkenness, and eight other dishes whose names you do not know.
Xuanyuan Shouyi says: "These were all sent by the neighbors. Each family made one dish, and they gathered this table."
"The wine was sent by my family! I brewed it!" Yun'er quickly adds.
Xuanyuan Ziyan smiles and teases: "You only sent one jar, yet you can drink three jars yourself."
"Hmph, Auntie is so stingy." Yun'er pouts.
She looks at you, smiling, and carries a wine cup larger than her own face, walking unsteadily, spilling half the wine.
"Uncle Guest, I toast you!"
You look at the wine cup in her hand, then at her one-meter-tall stature, and laugh: "What are you drinking?"
"Moon-Glory Drunkenness! I brewed it myself!"
Xuanyuan Ziyan adds from the side: "Even dogs won't drink the wine she brews."
Yun'er pouts: "Auntie is lying! Clan Uncle drank it last time and said it was good!"
"Ahem," Xuanyuan Shouyi coughs, "I said it was very spicy."
You smile, pick up the wine cup, and drink it in one gulp.
A chilling sensation, accompanied by a fiery heat, rushes from your tongue to your throat, straight into your lungs, and your stomach feels like it is on fire.
Yun'er looks at you with her flushed face, giggling: "Hee hee, Uncle Guest doesn't seem to have a good tolerance for alcohol."
As she says this, she also picks up her cup and drinks it in one gulp, licking her lips as if she still wants more.
Xuanyuan Yao smiles as she walks over with a plate of food, beaming: "Senior Qin, try this, it's a specialty of our Xuanyuan Immortal Clan."
You pick up a piece with your chopsticks, put it in your mouth, and chew.
Spicy.
Not just ordinarily spicy, but a spiciness that burns from your mouth to your throat, from your throat to your stomach, and from your stomach to your Soul.
You stick out your tongue, panting, pick up a pot of spiritual wine, and pour it into your mouth, tears even coming to your eyes.
"Why is it so spicy?" You look at her.
You are an Integration Stage Cultivator, how could you be defeated by spice?
Xuanyuan Ziyan glares at her: "Xuanyuan Yao, what did you put in the dish?"
"Heaven-Facing Cloud Peppers, I only put in three."
"Three?"
"Thirty."
Yun'er gloats on the side: "Serves you right, who told you to hit my Sister Yao."
You look at Yun'er, then at Xuanyuan Yao, and a trace of guilt actually rises from the depths of your heart. You can only smile awkwardly: "This matter was my fault, I will punish myself with three cups."
As you speak, you pour three cups of wine and down them.
The fiery sensation disperses, and instead, you feel quite comfortable, not knowing if you have adapted to the taste of this wine.
A little boy and a middle-aged woman are sitting near you.
The little boy keeps looking at you, finally unable to help but speak: "Are you the one who defeated Liu Xuerong?"
You nod.
"Then are you very powerful?"
"It's alright."
"Then will you fight me?"
His mother slaps the back of his head: "Eat!"
The little boy covers the back of his head, pouts, and stops talking.
At this moment, your spatial ring flashes, and Qin Han appears at the table.
It looks at the table full of spiritual wine and delicacies, drooling.
Yun'er discovers him, her eyes brightening: "Wow, he is so cute, even cuter than my bunny!"
"I am not cute, I am mighty." Qin Han says with a serious face.
"You can talk?!" Yun'er widens her eyes.
"You are the one who can talk, your whole family can talk." Qin Han retorts directly.
Yun'er is not angry, but even more excited: "You can even curse!"
Qin Han ignores her, stuffs a roasted chicken into its mouth, and chews with loud smacking sounds.
You smile and pet Qin Han: "Do not be rude!"
Qin Han doesn't speak, continuing to eat on its own.
After three rounds of drinks, Xuanyuan Shouyi looks at you and speaks seriously: "I heard from Yan'er that you came for the nine heavens breathing soil?"
Your face turns awkward, not knowing how to respond.
"You don't need to be nervous, such things are very common." Xuanyuan Shouyi says.
"Why?" You ask.
"Do you know why the Spiritual Qi of every star in our Xuanyuan Galaxy is so dense?"
You shake your head.
"The nine heavens breathing soil is one of the reasons." Xuanyuan Shouyi puts down his wine cup and says slowly, "In our Xuanyuan Galaxy, every star can be refined into a handful of nine heavens breathing soil."
"To say it is not precious is because taking away one star is like taking a drop of water from a river."
"To say it is precious is because it is unique in the entire Immortal Domain."
You nod, immediately understanding—wealth, companion, method, location; this Xuanyuan Immortal Clan's advantage is 'location'.
On top of the nine heavens breathing soil, everything planted grows better than elsewhere.
It's not that the cooking is good, it's that the soil is good.
No wonder a bowl of pickled radishes could be chewed with Life Qi, no wonder a plate of braised pork could be eaten with Spiritual Qi, no wonder that roasted chicken even had sweetness in its bones.
And no wonder—that chili could be so spicy it made you shed tears.
After realizing this, you look at Xuanyuan Shouyi, open your mouth, but do not know how to ask for it.
Meeting by chance, asking for someone's Star Continent, just does not make sense.
Xuanyuan Shouyi sees your thoughts and smiles: "I can give you an uninhabited Star Continent. However, you must first do one thing, and you must agree to one additional condition."
Your eyes light up, and you quickly ask: "Senior, please tell me."
"The stars of the Xuanyuan Galaxy have spirits, they cannot be refined just because you want to." He puts down his wine cup, "Even if I give you a star, you must first gain its recognition, otherwise you cannot refine the nine heavens breathing soil."
Pausing, he continues: "You must first gain the recognition of the star and grow a Breathing Soil Flower on it."
"Breathing Soil Flower?"
You frown, you have never heard of this name.
"That's right." Xuanyuan Shouyi nods, "When the Breathing Soil Flower blooms, the Spiritual Qi of the entire star surges. The flowering period is ten thousand years, and when the flower falls, the entire star will condense into a handful of nine heavens breathing soil."
"It is not easy to grow a Breathing Soil Flower... Among our clansmen, no more than five people can do it."
Pausing, he looks at you: "My condition is... you must give that Breathing Soil Flower to us."
Your heart is overjoyed, and you quickly cup your hands: "That is only natural, thank you, Senior!"
"Don't be in such a hurry to thank me." Xuanyuan Shouyi waves his hand, "This Breathing Soil Flower is not so easy to grow. Aren't you afraid of wasting a lifetime of time, only to end up with nothing?"
