80: Lu Chen presented the Rejuvenation Pill Formula

Before long, two wine bottles had been filled to the brim.

"Cao Bu." Jiu Ling'er held up one of the wine bottles, her eyes flashing with a competitive glint. "Each of these contains ten catties of drunken flowing clouds. Let's see who finishes first without getting drunk."

Cao Bu nodded and picked up the other bottle, saying loudly, "Since Miss Linger is so bold, how could I possibly spoil the fun?"

The two wine bottles clinked gently in the air, making a crisp sound.

Both of them tilted their heads back simultaneously, gulping the liquid down into their mouths.

To the side, the Wine Emperor licked his lips, his face full of longing and discomfort.

Not long after.

With ten catties of drunken flowing clouds in his stomach, Cao Bu placed the empty wine bottle steadily on the stone table, his expression completely calm.

In contrast, when Jiu Ling'er put down her bottle, her fingertips were trembling slightly, and her originally lively eyes were clouded with a layer of mist.

She shook her head, trying to dispel the dizziness rushing to her brain.

"You... how are you perfectly fine?"

Cao Bu looked at her tipsy appearance, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Perhaps I have good luck."

"It's not luck." Jiu Ling'er puffed out her cheeks, her tone carrying a hint of defiance. "It's your alcohol tolerance."

As she spoke, she unfastened the wine flask from her waist and handed it to Cao Bu. "Here, I lost."

Cao Bu took the wine flask; it felt warm in his hand.

This trip to the Wine God Temple was certainly not a loss.

The Wine Emperor watched with burning eyes, his gaze churning with intense desire.

This kid had just tricked his granddaughter out of her precious wine flask; it was simply outrageous!

While he was pondering, Jiu Ling'er staggered over to Cao Bu and looked up into his eyes, her tone carrying a drunkard's stubbornness. "You... you haven't composed a poem for me yet."

Cao Bu was startled and shook the wine flask in his hand. "Miss Linger, the winner has been decided. I won."

"I-I don't care." Jiu Ling'er pouted slightly, acting somewhat shamelessly. "I just want to hear you compose a poem. I want to hear it now."

As she spoke, her wine-scented breath brushed lightly against Cao Bu's cheek, mixed with the unique sweetness of a young girl.

The Wine Emperor coughed lightly, intending to smooth things over for his granddaughter, but he saw Jiu Ling'er grab Cao Bu's sleeve, her tone carrying a coquettish air. "Just one about wine, okay?"

Cao Bu looked at her infatuated, drunken state and shook his head firmly. "No."

Jiu Ling'er's breath hitched, and the light in her eyes instantly dimmed.

This was the first time she had ever met such an insensitive man.

The Wine Emperor, on the other hand, was delighted.

A straight man is good.

A straight man wouldn't be able to charm his granddaughter away!

Hearing Cao Bu's answer, Leng Yue secretly sighed in relief for some reason, and her gaze toward Cao Bu softened a bit.

"Alright, Wine Emperor, Miss Linger, we should take our leave." Cao Bu cupped his fists in salute to the two of them and turned to depart.

Jiu Ling'er watched his retreating back, her face full of resentment.

Just then, Lu Chen appeared not far from the pavilion.

Seeing Cao Bu walking out, he ignored his panting, immediately suppressed the hatred in his eyes, and ran quickly to the front of Cao Bu.

"Cao Bu, wait, I have something for you."

Lu Chen bent over, panting incessantly.

To find Cao Bu, he had run from the Male Guest Courtyard to the Wine God Temple, and then chased him from the Wine God Temple to here; he was truly exhausted.

A hint of amusement flashed in Cao Bu's eyes. "Heavenly Emperor Lu, what is this?"

Lu Chen straightened up and shoved the nine revolutions emperor bone rebuilding pill formula into Cao Bu's hand.

"You are the first person to drink this Emperor into submission, so this Opportunity is yours."

Cao Bu unfolded the Pill Formula to look at it and immediately feigned excitement, his whole body trembling. "This... this is actually a Pill Formula that can restore the Dantian!"

Hearing this, Leng Yue, the Wine Emperor, and even the half-drunk Jiu Ling'er crowded around.

The Wine Emperor's lips trembled. "Is it... is it really a Pill Formula to repair the Dantian?"

After saying that, he tilted his head to look at Lu Chen and said in shock, "Heavenly Emperor Lu, you actually possess such a supreme treasure?"

Lu Chen waved his hand, pretending to be carefree. "I also saw that Cao Bu and I were fated, and since I was defeated by his drinking, I thought it over and decided to give him a hand."

No one noticed that as Lu Chen said this, his heart was churning with monstrous rage.

The hatred of having one's wife stolen is irreconcilable.

What's more, he hadn't even tasted her, yet Qin Bingyao's first time had been given to Cao Bu; it was simply unforgivable.

"emperor bone, Ten-Thousand-Year Stone Marrow Milk, void purple crystal, Sun Essence Gold Powder, Dragon Origin Fruit, xuanwu true blood..." The Wine Emperor read out the Materials on the Pill Formula word by word, finally sucking in a breath of cold air. "These things are all rare treasures in the Spirit Realm. Some of them even this Emperor has never heard of."

He looked at Cao Bu and said in a heavy tone, "Kid Cao, if you want to gather all these Materials, you can only count on the Gu Clan. As for this emperor bone..."

While speaking, the Wine Emperor subconsciously glanced at Leng Yue.

He saw Leng Yue staring at the words 'emperor bone', her eyes calm and waveless, no one knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing this, the Wine Emperor turned his gaze back to Cao Bu and sighed, "What a pity."

Jiu Ling'er asked in confusion, "Grandpa, what's a pity?"

Lu Chen was also full of doubt.

He had already brought out the Pill Formula; was that not enough?

Could it be that they wanted him to find all the Materials, refine the Medicinal Pill, and feed it into Cao Bu's mouth?

This was simply too much!

Cao Bu looked at Leng Yue, his face showing a hint of bitterness as he handed the Pill Formula back to Lu Chen.

"Heavenly Emperor Lu, thank you for your Opportunity, but this Opportunity is something I, Cao Bu, do not have the fortune to enjoy."

Lu Chen looked at the Pill Formula in his hand, completely stunned.

He had spent a hundred thousand points to buy this, and now you're telling me you don't want it? How could that be!

He gritted his teeth and shoved the Pill Formula into Cao Bu's hand again, his tone carrying a hint of urgency. "Cao Bu, don't worry."

"Seeing as you are the first person to drink me under the table, I will have the entire Great Qin Imperial Dynasty help you find these Materials."

"You must not lose heart; there is still hope for everything."

The Wine Emperor also advised from the side, "Kid Cao, take it."

"You should know that this Pill Formula cannot be exchanged for even a supreme dao emperor weapon."

"As for the Materials..."

He glanced at Leng Yue again and continued, "Keep it for now, so as not to waste Heavenly Emperor Lu's painstaking efforts."

Cao Bu still shook his head, his tone firm. "No, even if I, Cao Bu, were to die, I would not take this Pill Formula!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen wished he could pin Cao Bu to the ground and beat him up.

Damn it, he had already gone this far, and this kid still wouldn't agree!

Just as the two were in a deadlock, Leng Yue suddenly spoke. "Bu'er, put it away for now."

Cao Bu frowned. "But Adoptive Mother..."

"Put it away." Leng Yue's tone carried an unquestionable authority.

Cao Bu showed hesitation, his fingers pinching the corner of the Pill Formula, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Seeing this, Leng Yue directly snatched the Pill Formula from his hand and stowed it away.

She then cupped her fists to Lu Chen and said, "Heavenly Emperor Lu, as Bu'er's Adoptive Mother, I thank you on his behalf."

Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, a smile of relief appearing on his face.

"You're welcome."

"To tell you the truth, this Emperor is not far from Ascension."

"Meeting Cao Bu this time and being impressed by his drinking capacity, I really didn't want to see him sink into despair. I only hope that one day, he too can achieve the position of Great Emperor."

Cao Bu showed gratitude and cupped his fists in a salute toward Lu Chen. "Thank you, Heavenly Emperor Lu."

After saying that, he looked at Leng Yue with a complex gaze. "Adoptive Mother..."

Leng Yue hurriedly interrupted, "Adoptive Mother knows what you want to say. It's not like only Brother Feng has an emperor bone."

Hearing this, Jiu Ling'er, who had sobered up a bit, seemed to understand something.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Lu Chen suggested, "Cao Bu, you and I hit it off like old friends. How about we become sworn brothers?"
