From the standstill of time, across the heavens

Chapter 1446 What kind of amazing sect is this?! They're so incredibly wealthy!

"Fellow Daoist Mo, why don't you come and have a drink?" Hao Shuai, knowing the Sword Immortal's preferences, sincerely invited him.

"Invite me for a drink?" The Drunken Sword Immortal didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down opposite Hao Shuai. "Then you'd better bring out some good wine. I'm very picky about wine."

"Sure, sure, I promise you won't be disappointed." Hao Shuai, who possesses countless worlds, has no shortage of all kinds of fine wines.

After saying that, he turned to Li Xiaoyao and instructed him, "Xiaoyao, go and buy some snacks to go with your drinks."

"Alright~" Li Xiaoyao jogged out of the inn.

Watching Li Xiaoyao's departing figure, the Drunken Sword Immortal muttered, "That kid is Li Xiaoyao?!"

"Come on, let's drink." Hao Shuai took out his magic gourd, uncorked it, and poured a cup for the Drunken Sword Immortal.

As the glasses were filled, a rich and intense aroma instantly filled the entire hall. In the blink of an eye, the strong fragrance of wine quickly filled the whole room.

This gave the Drunken Sword Immortal a jolt, his eyes lit up, and he swallowed hard, looking like a shark that had smelled blood.

At this moment, the Sword Immortal had no memory of his displeasure with Hao Shuai. He picked up his wine cup and couldn't help but drink it all in one gulp.

"Excellent wine! It has a strong aroma, a smooth and mellow taste, and a sweet and rich finish. It's as pure as a delicate orchid; truly a rare and fine wine, though a bit pricey."

With just one cup, the Sword Immortal knew that this wine must have been brewed from countless rare and precious ingredients, possessing the effect of enhancing true essence and magical power.

At the same time, he also knew that after drinking this glass of wine, he would owe Hao Shuai a rather large favor.

Little did he know that the wine Hao Shuai casually took out was a rare medicinal wine, and with such strong effects.

But even if he knew, he would still shamelessly drink it.

For him, what does integrity matter as long as it's for fine wine? It doesn't matter whether he throws it away or not.

"If you like it, have a few more drinks." Hao Shuai generously filled another glass for the Sword Immortal.

The Sword Immortal didn't stand on ceremony and downed his drink in one gulp as well.

Since one drink is a favor, and two drinks are also a favor, why not drink a few more?

"Sect Leader, I'm back." Just after the Drunken Sword Immortal had drunk several cups, Li Xiaoyao ran in with the cooked food he had bought and then skillfully placed it on the table.

After doing all this, Li Xiaoyao consciously decided to leave.

Although he seemed somewhat cynical, he still understood basic manners. Since the sect leader was entertaining friends, he naturally couldn't stand in the way.

"Wait a minute, young man." The Drunken Sword Immortal suddenly called out to Li Xiaoyao and asked, "Young man, your name is Li Xiaoyao?"

Li Xiaoyao was a little confused, but he still nodded honestly and said, "Yes, my name is Li Xiaoyao."

"It really is him." After hearing Li Xiaoyao's answer and confirming his identity, the Drunken Sword Immortal nodded inwardly, then directly asked Li Xiaoyao, "Young brother, would you be willing to cultivate with me?"

"Cultivate with you?" Li Xiaoyao was a little confused when he heard the words of the Drunken Sword Immortal.

He didn't doubt the Sword Immortal's strength; someone who could be friends with the sect leader must be quite powerful.

He was just wondering why the Drunken Sword Immortal would want to take him as a disciple for no reason.

Has my secret of being a peerless genius been exposed?

"Hey kid, what's with that expression? You should know how many people are willing to learn from me, but I'm not willing to teach them," Li Xiaoyao's expression made the Drunken Sword Immortal think he was unwilling, and he immediately became displeased.

"No, no, that's not what I meant, senior." Li Xiaoyao hurriedly explained, "It's just that I already have a master."

"You've become an apprentice?!" Li Xiaoyao's words made the Drunken Sword Immortal pause slightly.

"I guess so?" Li Xiaoyao looked at Hao Shuai uncertainly, after all, he still didn't know who his master was. The Drunken Sword Immortal also looked at Hao Shuai and asked, "You took him as your disciple?"

After saying that, he felt inexplicably disappointed.

People are just strange sometimes!
Logically speaking, people wouldn't have a good impression of someone like Li Xiaoyao, who is a rogue and scoundrel.

But for some reason, the Sword Immortal just couldn't stand Li Xiaoyao; he felt a connection with him.

What other explanation could there be besides fate?

“No, I never accept male disciples.” Hao Shuai shook his head first, then nodded and said, “But I did take him under my wing.”

"As for his master, I plan to have him become a disciple of my senior brother, Xiao Yicai."

"Your senior brother?!" *2
The Drunken Sword Immortal and Li Xiaoyao said in unison.

However, the two had completely different feelings. Li Xiaoyao was pleasantly surprised. Hao Shuai was already so strong, so wouldn't his senior brother be even stronger?!

Li Xiaoyao felt that he had struck gold this time and had chosen the right path.

On the other hand, the Drunken Sword Immortal was somewhat surprised.

Hao Shuai actually has a senior brother and a sect?

What kind of sect or school could cultivate such a strong disciple?
How come he'd never heard of such a sect before?!

“That’s right, it’s my senior brother.” Hao Shuai knew that the two had misunderstood, but he didn’t explain. Instead, he continued, “I’m just accepting a disciple on behalf of my senior brother.”

After saying that, Hao Shuai took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Li Xiaoyao, instructing him: "This is Dragon Blood Pill. Taking it will enhance your cultivation. Take one pill every five days. After taking it, refine the medicinal power according to the cultivation method. In less than a month, you will be able to surpass a first-class master."

Then he threw a flying sword he had looted from the Shu Mountain world to Li Xiaoyao.

"This flying sword and these pills are gifts from your master, your uncle, to help you become a disciple. I hope you will cultivate diligently, graduate soon, and uphold justice, eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path!"

Holding the Dragon Blood Pill and the flying sword, Li Xiaoyao was so excited he couldn't stop smiling. He quickly thanked them, saying, "Thank you, Sect Leader Uncle. I will definitely not let you down."

In fact, not to mention Li Xiaoyao, even the Drunken Sword Immortal beside him stared wide-eyed at the Dragon Blood Pill and flying sword in Li Xiaoyao's hand.

Are you given a pill to increase your power as soon as you join?

He had been in Shushan for so many years and had never eaten this thing before.

As for the flying sword in Li Xiaoyao's hand, although it was not drawn, he could tell at a glance that it was a divine weapon.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that the precious sword that had been with him for countless years was no longer appealing.

TNND!

What kind of amazing sect is this?! They're so incredibly powerful!

At this moment, even the Drunken Sword Immortal wanted to betray Mount Shu and join Hao Shuai's sect.

"Alright, stop grinning like an idiot. Go down and cultivate first. We'll set off for Suzhou tomorrow." Hao Shuai patted Li Xiaoyao, who was grinning foolishly.

"Go to Suzhou? Uncle-Master, are you taking me out to do chivalrous deeds?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyao became even more excited, already imagining himself mastering his divine skills, roaming the world with his sword, and enjoying the carefree life of the martial arts world.

"Why ask so many questions! Just go when we tell you to!" Hao Shuai said speechlessly.
