Zhanxian Chapter 249 part1

Talk About It After Finding an Information Channel

Who could have thought that Yang Chen, a junior at the foundation building stage, was able to hear their every word of their discussion so clearly? Moreover, it was happening right under a group of Dacheng stage experts' noses. He was only relying on the strand of spiritual awareness to penetrate the barrier.

Of course, it would be exaggerating to say that the spiritual awareness had penetrated the barrier. Yang Chen had actually placed it there beforehand. The barriers of the few experts were just slightly above the basic level and did not obstruct Yang Chen from understanding their every move.

Everything was mainly because of one thing. The formidability of the spiritual awareness from Three Purities Secret. Great Supreme Elder's technique was certainly at a different level from the normal spiritual awareness.

Though someone was paying for his purchases, Yang Chen could not overdo it either. Otherwise, some of the items might require Liu Shichang's master, Shang Guanxian, to fork out some of her spirit stones to pay for.

To let the other people think that he was going to concoct pills, he only bought three additional items when he left the auction. He had a soul spring, a Real Terrestrial Pole Fire, and an ingredient to concoct pills which was not really expensive.

Nevertheless, the three items had cost nearly five kilograms of high quality spirit stones. There was no other way. Even though nobody was competing with him for the Real Terrestrial Pole Fire, the base price alone was quite high. Just that item alone had cost 4 kilograms of high quality spirit stones. And when Yang Chen bid for the item, he had only increased five hundred grams to the base price. It was considered very cheap already.

The five kilograms of high quality spirit stones was enough to empty Shang Guanxian's pockets. Even though she was Clear Sky Sect's Yuanying expert, all of the spirit stones she had accumulated for hundreds of years were all there.

When Yang Chen knew someone was going to pay for his bills, the fake smile he wore on his face made people want to give him a punch in the face. Nobody had seen a person that was as stingy as he was. But luckily it was just for this one time, so they could still bear it.

He kept the soul spring straight into the bottle gourd. The bottle gourd was indeed impressive. It was able to contain such a substantial amount of soul spring in it. Although inside, it would only appear as a small puddle of water, streams of the soul spring would still flow out from it.

During the auction, the host had given everyone a cup of the soul spring. It was for them to examine the soul spring to see if it met their needs. After tasting it, Yang Chen and Sun Qingxue felt that it was actually not bad and bid for it.

He was actually not in a rush to absorb the Real Terrestrial Pole Fire, nor was he in a hurry to store it inside the Profound Spirit Furnace. Anyway, keeping it inside the Achievement Ring was already very insuring. He also did not want to reveal his Profound Spirit Furnace here at the Clear Sky Sect.

He had accomplished his goal by coming to the Clear Sky Sect. He only needed an explanation for the Palace Master. He then brought Sun Qingxue along for a walk and cultivated for a moment.

However, before he left, he came across a person that was quite interesting.

The Wine Immortal had come to see Yang Chen personally but he did not say much to Yang Chen. He placed a good wine in front of him and said to him, "Little brother, I have found a wine which its tastes just complements each other perfectly. You can try these wines and see which one of them is suited to season your yeasts.

The incident had happened around ten days ago. The small flask of wine that was diluted with plain water had surely all entered his stomach. After tasting such a good wine, how could the Wine Immortal even drink the other wines which he had previously thought of as good wine? His mind was now only reminiscing the flavour of the small flask of good wine.

He had heard Yang Chen saying that it would be more suitable to use wine to dilute it instead of using water. Thus, he quickly plundered wine around him. He was able to find quite a few kinds of good wine which he thought was suitable for diluting it in just a few day’s time.

The Wine Immortal was indeed well-versed in wine. The wines suited Yang Chen's taste buds and Yang Chen did not refuse them. He poured each of them out and tasted them one by one.

The Wine Immortal waited patiently and stared eagerly at Yang Chen as he tasted the wines. Sun Qingxue could see the Wine Immortal's motive from his face. He was hoping that Yang Chen could find a compatible wine to dilute the yeasts so that he could once again taste a good wine.

After Yang Chen finished tasting all of them, he selected two of the wines. This surprised the Wine Immortal, and made him happy as well. If Yang Chen had picked two types of wine, then it meant the Wine Immortal now had two different flavours of wine to satisfy his cravings.

"These two wines are quite compatible with each other. But the others would not work." Yang Chen did not bear any malice with the senior who honored his end of the bet. He would just be sharing two drops of yeasts anyway. Given how much yeast he actually had, the two drops were too insignificant to make any difference.

Moreover, Yang Chen had another thought about the Wine Immortal. The Wine Immortal was a sectless cultivator. From the news Yang Chen had received within these few days, the Wine Immortal was actually well known among many sects. The Five Phases Sect and the Clear Sky Sect had even given him the qualification to be an honoured guest to serve in their courts. He was able to receive the latest news in the cultivation realm with his status. Sometimes, he was even more well-informed than the people who were hired to probe for information.

Yang Chen only needed to use the temptation of the good wine to obtain some information from him. Furthermore, the Wine Immortal was a Yuanying cultivator. He would be more than happy if he could trade those information for some good wine.

This time, the Wine Immortal had learnt from his lesson. Every type of the wine he offered was in jugs instead of a small wine flask. Yang Chen then took out two big wine jugs that he had chosen. Judging from the volume of the wine jugs, each wine jug could probably contain at least twenty kilograms of the wine inside it.

The Wine Immortal took the wine jugs and looked at Yang Chen with slight embarrassment. Yang Chen did not reveal his own thoughts and continued to pour one drop of yeasts into each of the jugs. Of course, the size of the droplets this time around was slightly larger than the ones previously. But it would just be enough for a jug of wine.

Instantly, the smell of the wine wafted through the air. The Wine Immortal already could not help himself and was breathing in the smell of the wine in the air frantically with his eyes shut. But Yang Chen had not moved, so the Wine Immortal did not dare to drink it first.

Yang Chen took out two big jade cups which weighed a hundred grams each. He then gave one of the cups to Sun Qingxue. Her alcohol tolerance was actually rather impressive. She was not intoxicated by the smell of the wine the last time and could even drink some of the wine after that.

"Senior, do as you please." Yang Chen was holding a wine jug in his arms and poured out the wine for Sun Qingxue and himself. After that he gestured the Wine Immortal to enjoy the wine. The Wine Immortal didn't hold back and quickly took out a cup. Yang Chen then poured the wine into it and the Wine Immortal had a toast with him.

Of course, Sun Qingxue would not go against Yang Chen's wishes. She also raised her wine cup and had a toast with him. The three of them then savoured the wine at Sun Qingxue's small compound.

"It is indeed delicious! This is better than the wine last time." After drinking a mouthful of the wine, the Wine Immortal sighed. He looked satisfied.

"It is still slightly not up to the standard," Yang Chen then said smilingly, "Wait until I brew my own wine as the base, then I will let you try it again."

"There is still better wine?" The Wine Immortal's eyes lit up. He was an alcoholic that shouldn't be told about or shown good wine. He started scratching his head with anticipation. If Yang Chen had not said that he would need to brew it first, the Wine Immortal would have already asked for it.
