Chapter 1843 Refining Essence into Qi

Feng Jiuxiao laughed and said, "Haha, I'm just kidding you. Please give Lord Cao some hot tea!"

The maid came back to her senses and carefully filled up Prefect Cao's teacup. "Sir, do you have any other instructions?"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "That's all. Go and get busy!"

At this time, Big Wolf said, "Since everyone agrees, let me tell you how to play and the rules!" He took out three dice and put them on the table. "Everyone takes turns to roll the dice. The one with the highest number wins and is rewarded with three cups. The one with the lowest number loses and is fined three cups. The one with the middle number has one drink!"

Sima Mingdeng smiled and said, "Okay!"

Feng Jiuxiao asked: "Why do the winners and losers drink three cups, but the winners drink one cup? What kind of logic is this?"

Big Wolf smiled, "If someone wants to win, encourage him to win! If someone is afraid of losing, make him lose!"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and asked Cao Guangshi, "Master Cao, he said this is his suggestion, do you agree?"

Cao Guangshi was actually afraid of drinking too much. He couldn't stand the intensity of this arrow! But Feng Jiuxiao asked him specifically to show his respect for him! How could he deny Big Wolf's opinion? Thinking carefully, he might not be so lucky. He might have the highest points, but he might not be so unlucky. He might have the lowest points. He could probably last for several rounds with one cup each time. If he drank too much, the deputy envoy would definitely not force me to continue drinking. He would most likely send me back! Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Mr. Wolf's opinion is very good. I agree! I will sacrifice my life to accompany you today and get drunk!" The deputy envoy just gave him Ye Changge's property worth nearly five million taels of silver. Of course, it was given to the prefectural government. With such a big gift, he had to accompany the deputy envoy for a drink! What's more, how transcendent is the deputy envoy's status? With just a word from him, he can rise to prominence! Tonight, I must get drunk!

Feng Jiuxiao looked at Zeng Yong, "Brother Zeng, what do you think?"

Zeng Yong smiled, "This is a good idea, but it makes me lose the chance to challenge Mr. Sima! I've always wanted to compete with him to see who can drink more!"

Big Wolf smiled and said, "That's easy. Why don't you two compete first to decide the winner, and then we can start playing games! Others make friends through fighting, but you two can fight with wine, just consider it as a way to liven up the fun!"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "This is a good idea! What do you two think, seniors?"

Zhao Kuangyin and Ren Zongheng nodded at the same time and said in unison: "Good idea!" When you are in the arena, who is afraid of watching the fun? If there is a good show, then of course you have to take a good look!

Sima Mingdeng was startled and thought: Damn! This Zeng guy is really narrow-minded! Fuck your ancestors!

Zeng Yong's unexpected incident disrupted Sima Mingdeng's plan!

Even if Zeng can't drink much, he can at least compete with me for ten or even twenty cups. If I drink twenty more cups, how can I fight this gang to the end? I will have to lie down first in the middle!

He was about to speak when Feng Jiuxiao laughed and said, "Mr. Sima! I know you have a big capacity for drinking and don't care about the few cups you have to compete with Brother Zeng, so you may not care. But let me remind you that you just pretended to be a good person and replaced wine with water, which was very disrespectful to Brother Zeng! As a man, who doesn't want to save face? What's more, he is not an ordinary man! Do you know who he is? He is the lord of Huizhou Tianying Fort, a local overlord, and is as famous as the four young masters of the martial arts world. To deceive him by using water instead of wine is simply a great shame! All of you here are his friends. Even if he is generous and doesn't care, we brothers feel unfair for him, so you'd better compete with him first. What do you think?"

Without waiting for Sima Mingdeng to speak, Pang Shiwu said with a smile: "Yes! If I were Brother Zeng, I would have drawn my sword right then and there! Mr. Sima, although you can drink a lot, please don't look down on us! My brother Zeng can't drink much, but he has the courage to drink!"

At this time, Erni was a little anxious and said with concern: "Ayong, if you can't drink well, don't show off!"

Chang Zijin held her hand and said with a smile: "Don't say anything. It's rare that Brother Zeng is happy today, just let him have fun! Don't worry, if you drink too much, there are still Shiwu and the others. They will take care of you, don't worry!" Erni didn't see that there was anything wrong, but she saw that there was another mystery here! Feng Jiuxiao couldn't agree to Zeng Yong to drink this abnormally strong Yijianthroat for no reason! Feng Jiuxiao couldn't betray his own brother!

Erni believed Chang Zijin's words the most. When she saw that there seemed to be something deeper in Chang Zijin's eyes, she stopped talking!

Cao Guangshi listened attentively and seemed to understand Feng Jiuxiao's true intention, so he immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Sima, just play a round with Mr. Zeng first. I also have a suggestion. In order not to hurt everyone's harmony, you should stop at a certain point and set an upper limit, such as twenty or thirty cups. Otherwise, if the two of you drink up both jars of wine in a fit of excitement, we will have nothing to drink, right, haha!"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Lord Cao's point is very good! How many cups do you think is a suitable limit, Brother Zeng?"

Zeng Yong said coldly: "According to my original intention, there is no limit! But since Lord Cao said so, I must obey! Since Mr. Sima can drink a lot, let's set a limit of 100 cups. Whoever feels that he can't drink anymore will admit defeat in advance! However, you are not allowed to leave early before you drink 20 cups!"

Sima Guangming's eyes flickered, and he thought: This ignorant thing actually dared to challenge me! He even didn't allow me to quit early, damn it! Twenty cups are nothing to me! Since you challenged me, I can't just let you go!

He suddenly laughed out loud, then his expression calmed down and he said grimly, "Master Zeng, huh? You are as famous as the four young masters of Wulin, right? Well, since you are all well-known figures, let's do something exciting today. I agree to compete with you in drinking! However, I also have a suggestion. I wonder if you dare to agree!"

Zeng Yong sneered, "What am I afraid of agreeing to?"

Sima Mingdeng spoke each word with emphasis, "Whoever loses must kowtow three times to the other person and call him grandpa three times!"

The air solidified instantly!

Unexpectedly, Feng Jiuxiao clapped and laughed, "Good idea! This is exciting!"

The maid thought: How ignorant! Our boss has drunk 170 cups at most! When your friend dies of drinking, you won't be able to laugh anymore!

But she immediately showed a look of horror, and hurriedly glanced at Feng Jiuxiao secretly. Seeing that this "Young Master Long" did not notice her, she felt relieved a little!

The young man in white almost scared her to death! He actually knew everything she was thinking!

Sima Mingdeng smiled and said, "Okay, for a fair contest, we will both stand on chairs and our bodies cannot touch the ground!"

Cao Guangshi was startled, "Why?"

"Master Cao, you may not know that most of us martial artists have cultivated internal strength. As long as we use our internal strength, we can expel the alcohol we drink from our bodies. In this way, it is easy to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"

"This...this..." Cao Guangshi didn't know whether this would be beneficial or harmful to Zeng Yong, so he was afraid of giving the wrong answer!

Feng Jiuxiao smiled cheerfully and said, "It's alright! Let's see who can hold more wine! Hurry up and start, I'm really looking forward to rolling the dice!"

The waiter had already brought two chairs and placed them beside them. Zeng Yong walked over and stepped lightly onto one of the chairs. His movements were graceful and elegant, and he did it all in one go!

Erni's eyes lit up and she started to become infatuated with him again!

Chang Zijin glanced at Erni and smiled without saying anything.

Zeng Yong said in a deep voice: "Let's get started!"

Sima Mingdeng also stepped onto the chair, full of confidence, "Okay!" Then he told the waiter, "You two are responsible for pouring the wine!"

The two waiters had already taken out dozens of cups from the bottom drawer of the antique display cabinet next to them, gathered forty cups together, filled them with wine, and placed them on two trays, twenty cups on each tray.

Two waiters each held a plate and stood beside Sima Mingdeng and Zeng Yong respectively!

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Master Cao, two seniors, how about we make a bet?"

Ren Zongheng smiled and said, "What are you betting on?"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Of course, we're betting on which of them can hold out to the end!"

Ren Zongheng smiled and said, "What about the prize? Silver?" Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "I don't lack silver! I just want the senior's famous unique skill, the Mountain and River Boxing Manual!"

The two waiters next to him thought: You actually want to win someone's famous skills. Isn't this like pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth and digging dirt on the head of a tiger? Can someone give it to you? You really just open your mouth without thinking!

Ren Zongheng's face immediately darkened, and he was obviously unhappy! The two waiters thought to themselves: Humph, did I guess right? You kid will never turn back until you hit the wall! You hit the wall this time, right? Let's see how others scold you!

Feng Jiuxiao's smile remained unchanged, "What's the matter, senior? Are you reluctant to let go?" The waiter cursed in his heart: What the hell? If you want to die, don't choose this time, okay?

Ren Zongheng suddenly tilted his head, squinted at Feng Jiufei, and said sourly: "Don't think I don't know. When the three of us were fighting, you secretly learned my Mountain River Fist and Lao Zhao's Big Sun Tathagata Palm. So when you used my special move, I was shocked! Not only are they similar in form, but also in spirit! What do you want to do by bringing up the past now? Are you trying to slap me in the face?"

The waiter was stunned!

He didn't expect that Ren Zongheng was not angry because the young man in white was trying to steal his unique skills, but because the other party had obviously already learned it, but he kept bringing up the past. How could people not suspect that he was slapping both of them in the face?

And the three-man fight mentioned earlier, isn't it one against two? Zhao and Ren must be in the same group! From their tone, we can tell that this kid was not only one against two, but he didn't lose! And they seemed to have mentioned stealing lessons on the spot? Impossible?

The waiter finally understood. Ren Zongheng seemed angry, but he was not angry at all! All his anger was because of "being distant"! The more distant he was, the angrier he got! What was their relationship?

Feng Jiuxiao laughed and said, "When I learned secretly, I only learned the basics. How could it be as effective as learning openly?"

Ren Zongheng laughed and said, "How can you be sure that you can win?"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "I will always stand on the right side!"

Ren Zongheng immediately asked: "Who do you think will win?"

At this time, Zeng Yong and Sima Mingdeng had already finished ten cups!

Zeng Yong's face was flushed, and one could tell at a glance that he was drunk!

Sima Mingdeng sneered in his heart: You dare to compete with me with this kind of drinking capacity?

Feng Jiuxiao looked at the status of the two people and said with a smile: "Senior, I bet on Mr. Sima to win!" The waiter was stunned! I didn't expect that this young man in white was really good at stabbing his brother in the back twice, and he actually bet on the enemy to win!

Ren Zongheng said: "Then I'll bet on Big Wolf to win!"

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "Feng... Ah, Young Master Long, Lao Ren and I are tied together. If you win, Lao Ren will give you the "Mountain and River Boxing Manual" and I will give you the "Great Sun Tathagata Palm"! But what if you lose? What will you give us?"

Feng Jiuxiao thought for a moment, took out a small green bottle from his bosom, and poured out two white gravel-like things from it, "Two seniors, this is the blue rhinoceros tooth. As for its function, I don't need to say more, right?"

Ren Zongheng and Zhao Kuangyin's eyes widened!

Green rhinoceros tooth, that is a legendary rare treasure from ancient times!

With the Green Rhinoceros in your hand, you are immune to all poisons!

Ren Zongheng looked at the two broken teeth-like things, and a trace of heat appeared in his eyes: "Are you really...are you really going to give it to us if you lose?"

Feng Jiuxiao laughed and said, "When have I ever lied to you two seniors?"

Ren Zongheng and Zhao Kuangyin looked at each other and then burst into laughter!

At this time, Zeng Yong and Sima Mingdeng had already drunk their eighteenth cup!

Both of them stared at each other, fearing that the other would cheat!

Two grown men standing on two chairs, drinking face to face, this kind of scene is really rare in a century! Everyone is really eye-opening!

Pang Shiwu kept cheering, "It's already eighteen, come on, it'll be nineteen soon!"

Zeng Yong turned a deaf ear to the world and only focused on Sima Mingdeng!

The wine in his stomach seemed to have turned into a ball of fire, burning him so much that he felt very uncomfortable!

He actually knew that he couldn't drink as much as the other person!

The reason why he still wants to compete is not because of impulse!

He was just cooperating with Feng Jiuxiao to make him drink more! Feng Jiuxiao just mumbled for a long time, and he didn't understand?

I don't care whether I live or not, I just want you to die! You dare to dethrone the emperor without hesitation! If I drink too much, the worst that can happen is that I will lie on the ground and feel uncomfortable for a few days! But if you drink too much, you will feel relieved when my brothers get you drunk again!

Just when he was feeling uncomfortable, a voice came, and Zeng Yong knew that it was Feng Jiuxiao who was talking to him using the skill of condensing sound into a line!

"Brother Zeng, you can try to use the internal energy to transform the alcohol into your meridians, and then use your true energy to expel the alcohol from your body through breathing. This can not only help you sober up, but also increase your internal strength! I'll teach you a few Taoist mantras, you try it!" Zeng Yong's expression remained unchanged, but a raging desire to fight was burning in his heart!

Feng Jiuxiao said a few words of the "Xuanwu Divine Art" in his mind, and Zeng Yong memorized them in his mind and began to try to do it!

If it was ordinary liquor, it would be fine to expel the alcohol directly through breathing, but Feng Jiuxiao found that this liquor was too strong. He had just secretly tested many ways to expel alcohol, and they were all successful. For example, expelling alcohol through the skin by sweating, but the whole body would be full of alcohol and it would be easy to fumigate others. Expelling alcohol through fingers or soles of feet would make the feet wet, and people would be able to see through it at a glance. If you meet a real friend, it would be easy to break up! As a result, he tried to test it with the Taoist breathing method, and he actually found that these strong liquors could actually speed up the meridians after being integrated into the meridians!

Refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, refining emptiness into Tao.

The "essence" in refining essence into qi refers to a mixture of innate essence and acquired essence.

The innate essence is the essence inherited from the parents and stored in the kidneys, which determines a person's growth, development and reproductive ability. The innate essence is a state of energy, different from the acquired essence of sperm.

Acquired essence is the nutritional essence absorbed through diet, which supplies the physiological activities of all tissues and organs in the body. Acquired essence includes sperm and some fine substances.

Just now, Feng Jiuxiao discovered that this strong liquor can actually provide sufficient "essence" in one shot! Liquor itself is the essence of food, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon. People eat grains and cereals, and indirectly absorb the essence of heaven and earth. Drinking is actually absorbing the essence of the essence!

With Feng Jiuxiao's secret guidance, although Zeng Yong's face was getting redder and redder, he was no longer drunker, and his internal energy was turning faster and faster!

Refine the alcohol into gas and expel it through breathing!

Unconsciously, the Qi Palace in the body seemed to expand!

Back then, he abused the precious jade of heaven and earth, which caused him to be stuck at the bottleneck of the peak of the ninth realm and could not make any breakthroughs. That was why he urgently needed to go to Haixin Mountain to find the Tianpeng colored egg to dissolve the dragon treasure and help himself break through the bottleneck! But now, Feng Jiuxiao seems to have found a new way for him! Although this arrow throat cannot really improve his internal strength, it seems to expand the "capacity" of his meridians and qi palace! The expansion of the meridians is equivalent to breaking his shackles and breaking through the limitations, so his internal strength will no longer stop at the peak of the ninth realm!

Thinking of this, Zeng Yong was in a good mood and shouted, "Pour another twenty cups!"

There was a hint of suspicion in Sima Mingdeng's eyes!

Zeng's eyes were filled with the tragic feeling of dying together, but why is he so relaxed and confident now? Did he cheat?

Thank you Yudong for your strong support and encouragement!
