72: Supreme Treasure Moon Soul Crystal

Over a dozen Disciples of the Wine God Temple entered in single file and quickly began to set up.

Taking advantage of this gap, the Wine Emperor spoke again, "Everyone, whoever can outdrink me this time will have this moon soul crystal marrow."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted in excitement.

"It's actually moon soul crystal marrow! Such a supreme treasure is rare and sought-after; the conditions for its birth are extremely harsh."

"Does Fellow Daoist know of this moon soul crystal marrow?"

"I know a thing or two."

"I hope Fellow Daoist can explain in detail."

"The moon soul crystal marrow is born at the intersection of Extreme Yin Earth Veins. It requires the phenomenon of Two Moons in the Sky, shining once every ten thousand years, and then being enlightened by Jade Toad's Tears. Nourished by the earth and heaven, it takes a hundred thousand years to condense a single drop of marrow."

"The one in the Wine Emperor's hand has a faint purple hue at its center; this is clearly a moon soul crystal marrow of over a million years! It is of immense benefit to a Quasi-Emperor; breaking through a minor Realm would be no problem at all."

"If a Martial Artist who Cultivates the Law of the Moon refines it, they can even accelerate their comprehension of the Law of the Moon."

Hearing this, everyone in the audience was tempted.

Just the fact that it could raise one's level by a minor Realm was enough to tempt anyone.

One must realize that at their Realm, a Breakthrough in a minor Realm often takes thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Cao Bu looked at Leng Yue beside him and saw her staring unblinkingly at the moon soul crystal marrow, her eyes filled with longing.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he whispered, "Adoptive Mother, if you need this moon soul crystal marrow, Bu'er can help."

Leng Yue reluctantly withdrew her gaze and asked, "How will Bu'er help?"

Cao Bu sent a voice transmission: "To tell you the truth, Adoptive Mother, Bu'er is immune to alcohol. No matter what wine it is, it cannot affect me."

After a pause, he added, "Adoptive Mother, this is a secret between us. I hope you won't tell anyone else."

Leng Yue was stunned upon hearing this, staring at him with a face full of surprise. She replied via voice transmission: "Were all those times you were drunk before just an act?"

Cao Bu nodded calmly.

Leng Yue gave him a deep look, but soon pushed the matter to the back of her mind, saying joyfully, "Bu'er, if you can help Adoptive Mother get this moon soul crystal marrow, Adoptive Mother will owe you a favor."

Cao Bu shook his head and said, "Adoptive Mother is being too polite. We are all family; there's no need for such formalities."

At this moment, Leng Feng and Su Chen walked over from the back.

"Sister," Leng Feng spoke with a confident tone, "this moon soul crystal marrow is perfect for you. I'll go win it for you by drinking."

Su Chen followed suit, "Sister Moon, how about I represent the Gu Clan? I guarantee I'll get the moon soul crystal marrow for you."

Leng Yue looked at Cao Bu, and seeing the confidence on his face, she hesitated before saying, "I have already promised Bu'er that I would let him act on my behalf."

Hearing this, the faces of the two were filled with disbelief. The looks they gave Cao Bu clearly said: Are you worthy? Do you even deserve to?

"Sister, let me do it instead," Leng Feng hurriedly urged. "Cao Bu is only in the Heavenly Bridge Realm; how could he possibly outdrink the Wine Emperor?"

Su Chen also chimed in, "Exactly. I bet he'll collapse after just one cup."

Leng Yue said indifferently, "You've forgotten that the Wine Emperor's wine doesn't depend on one's cultivation level, only on their actual alcohol tolerance."

At these words, the two were suddenly speechless.

In that case, their cultivation levels really didn't give them any advantage at all.

Leng Yue paused and then said, "Since you all want to help me get the moon soul crystal marrow, why don't you all participate together?"

Leng Feng and Su Chen glanced at each other and nodded. "That's the only way."

At this moment, Leng Feng pressed a hand heavily onto Cao Bu's shoulder, his tone carrying a warning: "Steward Cao, you must not bring shame to the Gu Clan."

He applied a bit of force, just enough for the 'Heavenly Bridge Realm' Cao Bu to feel a sharp pain.

Cao Bu immediately feigned a look of agony, his brows knitting together.

Su Chen also leaned in, pressing his hand onto Cao Bu's other shoulder, his tone cold: "Steward Cao, if you dare to be the first one to collapse, don't blame me for coming to the Gu Clan to settle the score with you later."

Cao Bu continued to grimace in pain while speaking tough, "Rest assured, you two. My cultivation might not be much, but when it comes to drinking..."

His voice cut off abruptly as he sneered in his heart.

You two better stay single for the rest of your lives, or else one day, I'll definitely give you both a green hat.

Just as the two were surprised by Cao Bu's tough tone and were about to lash out, they suddenly felt their scalps tingle with a strange itchiness, and they both reached up to scratch in confusion.

Just then.

The Wine Emperor's voice rang out again: "Everyone, the scene is set. Those who wish to join, first place a Low Grade Sacred Artifact on the table."

He looked around, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

Drinking?

Who could possibly beat him?

If the organizers of the Heavenly Pride Battle could make a profit, his Wine God Temple wouldn't lose out either.

This time, another few hundred Sacred Artifacts would be added to the treasury—how delightful.

At the head of the left side, Qin Bingyao's gaze was tightly locked on the moon soul crystal marrow in the Wine Emperor's hand, her beautiful eyes churning with suppressed longing.

No one knew that she had been afflicted by a strange poison for five years. She had recently learned that only moon soul crystal marrow could draw out the toxin.

If she could obtain it, she could begin preparing to Breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm and would no longer have to suffer that bone-eroding pain.

Seeing Qin Bingyao like this, Lu Chen was overjoyed.

No one knew that he was naturally immune to alcohol.

If he could help Qin Bingyao get the moon soul crystal marrow, perhaps their relationship would not only soften but even progress further than it had during their Peak period.
