335: Lu Xiaofeng: Holy crap, he broke through already?

Although Zhang Sanfeng was not certain if Duan Zhengchun could truly resist this army of four hundred thousand, he had a feeling that this time was an Opportunity for the Sect.

He told Daoist Mu to definitely take action within the scope of his abilities.

Even if they failed, they had to find a way to ensure the safety of Duan Zhengchun's family.

At that time, Daoist Mu didn't quite understand for what purpose his Senior Brother had such trust in Duan Zhengchun.

However, out of trust for his Senior Brother Zhang Sanfeng, he brought his people along.

He didn't expect to witness this historic moment and also gain a favor from Duan Zhengchun.

Coming here this time, this favor was definitely the greatest harvest.

"Your Highness is too polite; we came here also out of admiration for Your Highness's character."

"The Sect and the Kingdom have always been on good terms, and my Senior Brother and Your Highness are also old friends."

"If it weren't for the fact that he has been in seclusion recently and could not leave, he would not have sent this old Daoist."

"He was going to come in person; this time, I didn't help with much, so I truly feel unworthy of this." Daoist Mu cupped his hands in gratitude toward Duan Zhengchun.

"Haha... there aren't many people in the Jianghu whom this Prince admires, and True Man Zhang definitely counts as one."

"There aren't many people who catch this Prince's eye either; after today, we are friends."

"In the future, if you have time, you can come to the Kingdom to visit; this Prince will definitely welcome you."

"My previous words still stand; this is an additional token of thanks." Duan Zhengchun smiled as he handed over the Jade Bottles.

Everyone knew that the items Duan Zhengchun gave out were definitely not ordinary, which made them feel a bit hesitant to accept.

After all, they were too precious; although they had taken a risk this time, in the end, they only suffered some minor injuries.

They felt that receiving this was somewhat undeserved.

"Your Highness, this is too precious; we cannot accept it." Daoist Mu shook his head.

"If Daoist Mu still considers this Prince a friend, then there's no need to be polite."

"This Prince has said long ago that I will not let those who treat me poorly off."

"But for those who treat me well, this Prince will never mistreat them. If you all do not accept, then you are looking down on this Prince, and there will be no need for us to associate in the future." Duan Zhengchun's expression became cold.

"Wait, Brother Mu, if you don't want to accept, that's your business, but it doesn't represent me and Old Hua."

"I'll take these things." Lu Xiaofeng was quick-handed, directly grabbing three Jade Bottles into his hands.

With this move, he naturally took the ones for West Gate Blowing Snow and Hua Manlou as well.

The three of them had always been an iron triangle; in such matters, Lu Xiaofeng could make the decision.

Lu Xiaofeng's actions immediately made Daoist Mu feel a bit embarrassed.

Seeing Duan Zhengchun's attitude, he also knew that if he didn't accept, he would truly be failing to give Face.

"Since Your Highness shows such great love, then this old Daoist shall accept respectfully." Daoist Mu cupped his hands to Duan Zhengchun.

This was his first meeting with Duan Zhengchun, unlike Lu Xiaofeng and the others.

Therefore, he still needed to keep things a bit low-key.

That was why he had initially refused the gift from Duan Zhengchun; just a favor was already good enough.

Now he finally understood why his Senior Brother insisted on having him support Duan Zhengchun; this was sending them a stroke of good fortune.

"That's more like it; you all coming to support means you think highly of this Prince."

"How could this Prince favor one over the other?"

"Come, today we shall not return until we are drunk." Duan Zhengchun smiled and raised his cup.

"Haha... then we shall intrude today."

"Come, not until we are drunk."

The atmosphere among everyone was very lively, but once the wine in the cups entered their mouths, everyone was stunned, and then expressions of shock appeared on their Faces.

"This, this wine..."

Seeing Daoist Mu's expression, others were puzzled; they tasted the wine in their cups and immediately understood why Daoist Mu had such an expression.

This wine was too delicious; it was simply nectar and ambrosia.

"Heavens, this is too delicious; it's simply nectar and ambrosia!" Song Qingshu couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

"Indeed, this is definitely the best wine I've ever drunk." Eldest Martial Brother looked at the wine cup in his hand with emotion, feeling a bit reluctant to even take another sip.

"Everyone, no need to be so tense; today there is plenty of wine."

"If it's not enough, there's more here." Duan Zhengchun said as he took out several more jars of wine.

These were all System items, so naturally, they were not comparable to those mundane wines.

When everyone saw Duan Zhengchun take out several more jars of wine, their eyes almost popped out.

"Haha... Your Highness is generous; today I must drink to my heart's content." Lu Xiaofeng laughed excitedly.

He loved wine to begin with, and it was rare to encounter such good wine, plus there was plenty of it, so naturally, he wanted to drink his fill.

Smelling the fragrance of the wine, even West Gate Blowing Snow, who was not fond of wine, couldn't help but take a sip; as a result, it became uncontrollable.

"Wait, West Gate Blowing Snow, didn't you never touch a drop of alcohol? How come you're drinking more than me?" Lu Xiaofeng looked at West Gate Blowing Snow with a Face full of shock.

"What you drank before, you call that wine? Can it compare to Your Highness's wine?"

"Besides, I don't have to give you Face, but I naturally must give Face to Your Highness."

"Moreover, this wine is the finest in the human world, something one might not encounter in a thousand years; I don't know if there will be another such Opportunity in the future, so naturally, I cannot miss it." West Gate Blowing Snow glanced at Lu Xiaofeng and retorted unceremoniously.

"Eh, is this still the West Gate Blowing Snow I know? You've never said so many words in one breath before."

"You were always a man of few words; I didn't expect that a man of few words like you would have a day like this."

"As expected, Your Highness is still the formidable one, to even be able to change a cold personality like West Gate's." Lu Xiaofeng's deadpan expression made everyone present want to laugh.

West Gate Blowing Snow and Hua Manlou both showed expressions of disdain; Lu Xiaofeng's skin was too thick, they had never seen someone so thick-skinned.

"Lu Xiaoji, that's enough; you don't want Face, but we still do." Hua Manlou shook his head, speechless.

"Wait, Old Hua, am I not telling the truth?" Lu Xiaofeng looked at Hua Manlou with an innocent expression.

"Yes, yes, yes, what you say is the truth. However, people do change."

"Although West Gate's personality is usually a bit cold, it doesn't mean he won't change."

"Alright, no need to be so serious; let's continue eating." Duan Zhengchun smiled and stepped in to smooth things over.

This meal was enjoyed by both host and guests; several of them were Martial Forest Masters, and even the weakest, Song Qingshu, was now in the Grandmaster Realm.

Their capacity for alcohol was naturally extraordinary; fortunately, there was quite a bit of wine sent by the System, otherwise, it really wouldn't have held up against so many Masters drinking like this.

That night, Daoist Mu, Eldest Martial Brother, several others, as well as Lu Xiaofeng, West Gate Blowing Snow, and Hua Manlou, all achieved a Breakthrough in their strength.

But they broke through in their sleep, all thanks to the Spirit Wine bestowed by the System.

They were only focused on drinking and hadn't had time to look at the contents of the Jade Bottles Duan Zhengchun had given them.

Early the next morning, Lu Xiaofeng was the first to wake up and immediately felt the changes in his body.

"Holy crap, I—I broke through?" Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

He was previously at the Great Grandmaster Late Stage, but now he had actually reached the Grandmaster Peak, and vaguely, he had already touched the threshold of the Heavenly Human Realm.
