278: Ascension Spirit Wine

Liu Xuan called her Senior Sister in every breath, with excessive enthusiasm. Yue Li felt somewhat helpless, yet also found it rather amusing, so she did not get angry.

As a False Core Cultivator, Golden Core True Person looked down on her, while Foundation Establishment Cultivators stood in awe of her. She appeared cold and arrogant, but in reality, it was because she had no friends...

Now, this new Junior Brother Liu was different from everyone else. He was enthusiastically fawning, yet he did not treat her with the awe and utilitarianism of other Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

'Interesting!'

'I want to see what kind of trick you are trying to pull, kid!'

She took out a wing-shaped token and handed it to Liu Xuan, "This is the Named Disciple token for Flying Feather Peak. If you go to the Heavenly Sword Sect in the future, you can use it to pay respects to Revered Master."

"This token can also mobilize ordinary Disciples of Flying Feather Peak, but everything must be reported afterward; it cannot be used to act recklessly."

"Junior Brother understands!" Liu Xuan took the token and casually put it into the Storage Pouch in his sleeve, "Today is a joyous day for Senior Sister and me, we should celebrate!"

Without waiting for Yue Li to speak, Liu Xuan quickly took out a jug of Spirit Wine from his sleeve, opened the lid, and a rich fragrance suffused with Spiritual Qi drifted out.

"This..." Yue Li was just about to speak when she was immediately captivated by the wine's aroma, "What kind of Spirit Wine is this? Why is it so fragrant?"

She was also a person who loved to enjoy life and considered herself knowledgeable, yet she could not recognize what kind of Spirit Wine Liu Xuan had brought out.

The cost-effectiveness of things like Spirit Wine could not compare to Medicinal Pills, and not many people were willing to brew them using high-grade spiritual materials.

Good Spirit Wine was generally brewed by Alchemists, combining both deliciousness and utility. It was considered a type of spirit liquid and belonged to the category of luxury goods.

"This wine is named 'ascension'. I researched it and brewed it myself. It uses a second-grade spiritual rice, plus second-grade top-quality jade phoenix tree fruit and third-grade red pine tree sap, reaching the level of a second-grade top-quality Spirit Wine."

The pale red wine was poured into a jade cup, and Liu Xuan handed it to Yue Li, "The ascension spirit wine has a strong flavor. It has the benefit of increasing Physical Body strength, and can also soothe the mind and relax the Divine Soul."

Hearing Liu Xuan speak so highly of it, Yue Li lifted the wine cup to her lips, intending to have a taste.

Just as she was about to drink, Liu Xuan reminded her, "The effect of this wine lies in increasing Physical Body strength. Senior Sister, do not use magic power to counteract the wine's potency."

Yue Li hesitated for a moment, then raised her jade hand and drank the Spirit Wine.

As the Spirit Wine entered her mouth, Yue Li's willow eyebrows immediately furrowed slightly. The wine felt like a flame flowing from her throat into her abdomen, and a burning sensation spread throughout her body.

She had never drunk such potent Spirit Wine before, and subconsciously wanted to use magic power to suppress the wine's potency.

However, that kid Liu Xuan was staring at her with sincere eyes. Remembering his reminder just now, she suppressed this instinct.

She was a dignified False Core True Person, and also Liu Xuan's Senior Sister; how could she lose Face over such a small matter?

Isn't it just a cup of strong Spirit Wine? Could Liu Xuan dare to take the opportunity to harm her?

While lost in thought, Yue Li suddenly felt the burning sensation in her body disappear, replaced by a refreshing feeling of being full of vitality.

"Sss~"

"What a kick!!"

Generally, Spirit Wine increases magic power or Divine Soul, which is essentially increasing cultivation.

This was also the first time Yue Li had drunk Spirit Wine that increased Physical Body strength and vitality. It felt quite special, and the effect was exceptionally good!

Having used external objects to achieve False Core back then, her cultivation had already been set, and there was almost no possibility of a Breakthrough in her Realm.

Medicinal Pills and spiritual objects that increased cultivation and Divine Soul were basically useless to her. Now that she felt her strength increase even a little, she was deeply moved.

'What a pity!'

'The Physical Body is just a shell; being a little stronger or weaker doesn't make much difference, it's useless!'

'However, as a way to soothe one's mood, it's not a bad pastime!'

Liu Xuan poured himself a cup and drank it in one gulp, then got up and refilled Yue Li's cup.

"How is it? Does this ascension spirit wine of Junior Brother meet Senior Sister's approval?"

Yue Li nodded slightly, her cold Face slightly flushed, "It is indeed good wine!"

She drank it in one gulp again. This time, having mentally prepared herself, the burning, stinging sensation was not as intense as before. Not only did she not feel uncomfortable, but she actually felt exceptionally comfortable.

Especially after the wine's potency and spiritual power diffused throughout her body, it felt as if every cell had become active, giving her the illusion of floating and ascending to immortality.

"Delicious!"

"Pour me another cup!"

Yue Li's tone was no longer cold, carrying a trace of joy and laziness, which made Liu Xuan feel a tingle all over, his blood rushing to his head!

After calming down for a moment, he got up and filled it for her again, "As long as Senior Sister is satisfied, you can drink as much as you like."

Yue Li ignored Liu Xuan, lifted her jade neck slightly, swallowed, and drank it dry in one gulp again.

Closing her eyes to enjoy it for a moment, she looked over with a hazy gaze, and Liu Xuan sensibly filled it up for her again.

After one cup, there was another. After drinking another, there were three more! ...

"Senior Sister, you are drunk!"

"How about we drink again next time?"

Yue Li was flushed all over, her breathing heavy, and her eyes were dazed. Liu Xuan only wanted to use some good things to win her over; he didn't expect this girl to actually get addicted to drinking!

Although she had the cultivation of a False Core True Person, she had not Cultivated any Body Refining Cultivation Technique. If she didn't use magic power to counteract the wine's potency, drinking too much of the second-grade top-quality ascension spirit wine would actually be harmful to her body.

"Nonsense!"

"You're the one who's drunk~"

"This seat... this seat is a dignified False Core True Person, how could I... how could I possibly get drunk on just a few cups of Spirit Wine?!"

She reached out to grab the cup on the table but grasped the air next to it, her eyes filled with three parts confusion and three parts doubt.

She stood up, intending to take a closer look, but her body swayed, refusing to obey her.

Liu Xuan was quick-witted and fast-handed, hurriedly stepping forward to hold her arm to prevent her from falling.

The warm, delicate body was in his hands, the scent of wine mixed with her body fragrance, and her hot breath was right by his ear—the temptation was maxed out!

However, Liu Xuan dared not overstep the line. Don't look at how she was drinking muddledly now; she was a False Core True Person. If she sensed anything wrong, a surge of magic power would allow her to recover instantly.

'Sigh!'

'Take it slow! Who told me my cultivation isn't high enough!'

Liu Xuan was confident he could defeat the False Core cultivation level of Yue Li, but he was not confident he could completely control her. He still needed to proceed slowly to avoid any accidents.

Moreover, given Liu Xuan's current status, he disdained and had no need to do such things as taking advantage of someone in a vulnerable state.

"Right!"

"I, Liu Xuan, have always acted with integrity throughout my life; the sun and moon can bear witness, and heaven and earth can attest!"

He supported Yue Li and headed toward the guest room bedroom nearby. Perhaps sensing that Liu Xuan had no evil intentions, she hung limply on Liu Xuan, her head resting on Liu Xuan's chest, muttering nonsense.

"Junior Brother Liu... don't worry! From now on, Senior Sister will protect you, ensuring you can walk sideways in the Heavenly Sword Sect; whoever you want to bully... you can bully!"

"Hmm..."

"But if you want Spirit Stones, I don't have any... the Spirit Stones have all... all been handed over to Revered Master, you have to go ask her for them."

"..." Looking at Yue Li, who was fast asleep on the bed, it was hard for Liu Xuan to associate her with a False Core True Person.

After admiring the sleeping beauty for a while, he instructed the maid to guard outside the door, and he himself went to Li Man's room...
