Awakening from the Devouring Starry Sky

Chapter 708 A Few Cups of Immortal Wine
Under the night sky, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. At the Huoyun Peak in the Black and White Academy, Dicko came in through the air. He looked at the familiar mountain in front of him with some emotion. With one step, he arrived at the cave courtyard on the top of Huoyun Peak.

"Young Master?" The three women who were enjoying the moon and chatting in the pavilion in the courtyard were stunned when they saw Di Ke. Then the tall woman in purple stood up and greeted him with surprise. She looked at Di Ke with shining eyes, and then hurriedly bowed and said respectfully: "Zi Yun welcomes you back from your training!"

"Welcome, young master!" The pretty girl in green and the bright woman in red who followed closely behind shouted with obvious excitement.

"Alright, forget about the formalities! Don't be polite!" Dicko waved his hand lightly, smiling and jokingly said, "You are already the Master of All Things, and you are also formal disciples of the Black and White Academy. You don't have to be so formal in front of me, just be casual!"

"Sir, wait a moment. I'll go prepare some refreshments," said Ziyun, the tall purple-clad woman, as she was about to turn around and leave. But Di Ke said, "Don't bother!"

As he spoke, Dicko walked straight into the pavilion. With a wave of his hand, several spiritual fruits and a wine gourd appeared on the table where several half-eaten snacks were placed.

Ziyun hurried forward to pour the wine. Di Ke, who was sitting calmly, took a sip of the wine that Ziyun had just poured. Then he looked up and rolled his eyes at the pretty girl in green and the bright woman in red standing beside him and said, "Sit down! Do you still want me to treat you?"

"Yes!" The two girls responded and sat down carefully. At the same time, Di Ke turned his head to look at Zi Yun who was standing beside him. Facing Di Ke's gaze, Zi Yun smiled slightly, gently put down her wine gourd and sat down, and said, "Dong'er is in seclusion, do you want me to let him know?"

"I know, no need! I just came back and just want to stay here quietly for a while. Come, drink with me," Di Ke said while shaking his head casually. He reached out and picked up the wine gourd to pour wine for Ziyun. Ziyun was immediately frightened and quickly stood up: "Young Master..."

"Sit down!" Dicko said softly, and glanced at the girl in green and the bright woman in red who were about to stand up. After they sat down obediently, he continued, "Drink your wine in peace, and try the spiritual fruits I brought back. You probably don't usually get to eat these spiritual fruits, and you may not even have heard of them. I exchanged them for my elixirs and magical tools."

Exchange elixirs and magical tools for spiritual fruits? Ziyun and the others were a little surprised and stared at the spiritual fruits on the table. What kind of spiritual fruit could be as valuable as elixirs or even magical tools of the immortal level?
"Hmm?" Ziyun, who took a sip of the wine at Dick's urging, showed surprise and emotion again. Not to mention how delicious the wine was, after just one sip, Ziyun felt as if she had drunk nectar. Her whole body felt comfortable, and even her soul seemed to be nourished. The divine power and magic power in her body became boiling and pure as if a large amount of essence liquid had been refined.

"Sir, could this be immortal wine?" The girl in green and the bright-colored woman in red beside him also asked with surprise and curiosity, their beautiful eyes shining.

"Of course it's immortal wine! This gourd of wine is more precious than these spiritual fruits. It's enough to exchange for several immortal-level magic weapons." Di Ke said this. Zi Yun and the others widened their eyes in surprise and subconsciously put down their wine glasses. Seeing this, Di Ke couldn't help laughing: "Why, you don't dare to drink?"

"This is the legendary spiritual wine brewed by gods. I'm afraid even immortals can hardly drink it. We can taste it tonight thanks to you, young master. How dare we be greedy?" Ziyun said, and the girl in green and the bright woman in red Hongxia nodded in agreement.

"Haha...don't worry, there's plenty of fairy wine in my wine gourd, I'm not afraid of you drinking a few more glasses, just don't spoil my mood," said Di Ke with a smile, after leisurely drinking a glass of wine, he signaled Ziyun, Luyi and Hongxia with his eyes to drink quickly.

Ziyun looked at Luyi and Hongxia helplessly, and finished the wine in the cup with them. Seeing Di Ke pouring wine for them again, she blushed and smiled helplessly: "Sir, there is a lot of wine in your wine gourd, but our cultivation is low, I am afraid we really can't afford a few cups!" "So, you have to practice hard, become a Yuanshen Taoist or even a Return to the Void Earth Immortal as soon as possible, so that you can drink a few more cups with me in the future," said Di Ke, who drank another glass of wine with a smile, and then said: "Why, when you came to the Black and White Academy, you were already Purple Mansion cultivators, and your talent was not bad. Now that decades have passed, you still haven't been able to understand a complete way to break through and become a Yuanshen Taoist?"

"Young Master, you are extremely talented. It is not difficult for you to comprehend a complete path, but it is difficult for us," Ziyun said with a helpless smile.

"It doesn't matter if you can't comprehend it, just break through first! You have laid a good foundation, and it will be a natural thing to cultivate to the Yuanshen realm by consuming some Yuan fluid," Di Ke said indifferently: "When you reach the realm of Yuanshen Taoist, your soul will become stronger and it will be much easier to comprehend the Tao. At that time, I will give you more guidance. Let alone comprehending a complete Tao, even if you comprehend a few more Taos, what's the difficulty?"

Ziyun was a little surprised when she heard this: "Sir, so you are coming back this time and you will not leave again in the short term?"

"Is your focus a little..." Di Ke looked at Ziyun with a helpless smile, then shook his head and said, "Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, I will probably stay in the Daxia world from now on. In fact, my second soul clone has also been practicing in the Hidden Dragon Mountain."

"By the way, why are there so few people on this mountain? I remember that although some of them returned to Nanhai County, there are still quite a few left. Where did they go?" Dick seemed to have thought of something and asked with a frown.

Hearing this, Ziyun looked at Luyi and Hongxia with a slightly complicated expression and said, "Young Master, with your advice and help, almost all of the sisters who had innate cultivation in the past have broken through and become Purple Mansion cultivators, and some have even cultivated to the level of Wanxiang Zhenren. In order to become formal disciples of the Black and White Academy like Luyi, Hongxia and I, many of them chose to go out to explore and hone their skills. Unfortunately, apart from us, no one else became a formal disciple of the Black and White Academy. On the contrary, some of them never came back after going out."

"Dead?" Dick was stunned when he heard this. Thinking of their possible ending, he couldn't help but frowned with a slightly complicated expression. After all, he brought them from Nanhai County to this distant Anchan County, but now...
"Sir, don't be sad. Since they have chosen to embark on the path of cultivating immortals and are eager to change their own destiny, they are already mentally prepared. How can the path of cultivating immortals be so easy? Too many people have died on this path," Ziyun said, "and not all of them have left. Some sisters have been following Senior Sister Bai Yan. Although they are also going out to explore and may encounter danger, it is at least safer to follow Senior Sister Bai Yan. Senior Sister Bai Yan is now a Taoist priest with a soul, and her strength is comparable to that of the top immortals! She has made a great name for herself in Anchan County! Even Miss Yue'er went out with Senior Sister Bai Yan this time."

"Taoist Yuanshen? Is she out adventuring again? She is still so competitive," Dicko said, shaking his head slightly, drinking silently without saying anything else.

After drinking a few glasses of wine with Di Ke, Ziyun signaled to Luyi and Hongxia with her eyes and left quietly with them.

At the same time, in the Hidden Dragon Mountain of Nanhai County, the second soul clone that Di Ke had cultivated a long time ago had quietly reached the level of a Return to the Void Earth Immortal.

Ever since his original body went to Sanqingtian to practice Taoism, Di Ke's second soul has been in seclusion in the Di family most of the time, and he is very low-key. If there is nothing important, no one will come to disturb him.

But early in the morning of the second day after Diko returned to the Daxia world, the ancestor Longtong, who rarely appeared in the clan, came to the cave where Diko usually practiced meditation deep in the Yinlong Mountain.
