Chapter 1008 The Drunken Sword Immortal, Frequent Mishaps
Legendary Wine Master!

Looking at the familiar figure before him, Qin Ming felt a mix of emotions.

The chubby wine connoisseur, with a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, glanced at Qin Ming with a pair of sharp eyes beneath his hat brim.

"You're quite an interesting fellow, kid. You've actually managed to brew several kinds of spiritual wine that I left behind in the mortal realm. It means there's some kind of fate between us."

"However, the methods you practice seem quite eccentric, making you rather an oddball."

"Judging from your aura, could you have ascended here from the mortal realm?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming quickly cupped his hands in greeting and replied, "Greetings, Senior Wine Immortal. I did indeed ascend from the mortal realm to the spirit realm, and I was fortunate enough to obtain your 'Wine Immortal's Divine Recipe' in the lower realm, which enabled me to cultivate all the way to this point."

Upon hearing this, the obese wine connoisseur with a blade of grass in his mouth chuckled, "You don't need to be modest, kid. Anyone who's gotten this far has had their share of luck and skill."

"I am also a cultivator who ascended from the mortal realm, but from the demon race. In any case, we are fellow countrymen."

"You possess the evergreen magical power aura of the 'Eternal Azure Emperor Technique.' Who are you to that Azure Emperor Venerable?"

Qin Ming was also startled upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that this senior wine immortal was actually an ascended cultivator from the ancient human realm's demon race.

It's truly unbelievable.
And judging from his words, it seems that he had some interaction with the Azure Emperor Venerable.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Ming subtly explained to the other party the general outline of how he obtained the Azure Emperor's inheritance.

"Reporting to Senior Wine Immortal, this junior did indeed encounter the Azure Emperor Venerable in the Yuanji Mountain of the mortal realm."

The wine connoisseur in front of him was rumored to have ascended to the True Immortal Realm long ago, so he wouldn't be interested in his meager possessions.

After listening, the illusory figure of the Wine Immortal slowly nodded.

"No wonder. That Azure Emperor is no pushover. He cultivates at an incredibly fast pace and has made a lot of enemies. You were right to be careful."

"Unfortunately, even I lost track of his whereabouts afterward. Given his abilities, he probably ascended to the True Immortal Realm after me."

Qin Ming asked in confusion, "Senior Qingdi, he also came to the Myriad Spirits Realm?"

"Yes, that's for sure. Back then, he even joined forces with me to do something big in the Spirit Realm, hehehe!!" The illusory figure of the Wine Immortal seemed to recall something and laughed heartily.

He then returned to normal and said:
"Alright, let's not dwell on these old, trivial matters."

"To get back to the point, the relic I left behind in the Immortal City of Yunzhou has been waiting for tens of thousands of years, and finally you, the destined one, have come to be found."

"Since you are a descendant of the Azure Emperor, I am at ease entrusting you with the mantle I will leave in this world."

Immediately, the Wine Immortal raised his fat hand and pointed it at Qin Ming, and a ray of spiritual light instantly entered his sea of ​​consciousness.

In an instant, a massive torrent of information surged forth.

After only a short time of digestion, Qin Ming had already envisioned the sequel to "The Divine Recipe of the Wine Immortal" in his mind.

It records many astonishing recipes for miraculous wines.

There is the 'Rejuvenation Wine' that can instantly restore the mana of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and there is also the 'Du Yuan Wine' that can increase the power of spells several times over.

There are even records of eighth-tier spirit wines that can help one break through to the Mahayana stage.

Besides.

It also records a secret sword technique called "The Sword Manual of the God of Wine" that uses wine to control a sword. This sword manual has only three levels, but the first level alone can be used to control a sword with spirit wine and reach the highest realm of sword cultivation, "Sword Spirit Transformation".
The legendary wine immortal before us used this sword to break through all laws, once roaming the spirit realm and establishing a great reputation.

Even during the Mahayana period, he was rarely matched.

After regaining his senses, Qin Ming was filled with emotion, never expecting that this senior wine immortal would be willing to pass on his lineage to him.

He immediately bowed deeply to the illusory figure of the Wine Immortal, expressing his heartfelt gratitude:
"Thank you so much, Senior Wine Immortal, for bestowing this method upon me!"

But the illusory figure of the wine immortal simply smiled nonchalantly:
"It's alright, we are destined to meet, there's no need to be bound by these formalities."

"Besides, these wine recipes and secret techniques are not my truly good things."

"It is the 'Qu Ling' behind you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming turned around and glanced at the man who looked like a wine barrel, and immediately showed a look of surprise.

The illusory figure of the wine immortal explained calmly, "The spirit of this wine yeast is the culmination of my hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation. In the future, all your cultivation of the spirit wine path, including those supernatural powers and secret techniques, will have to be performed through the spirit of this wine yeast."

"This item can be said to be the essence of my life's cultivation of the Dao of Spirit Wine before my ascension. I wouldn't trade it even for those eighth-tier spiritual items, hehehe."

Qin Ming was also very excited upon hearing this, never expecting such an incredible opportunity to come his way again.

Fortunately, he has never given up studying the way of spiritual wine after so many years of cultivation.

However, he quickly calmed down. Since this powerful figure was willing to pass on such an important lineage to him, he probably had some conditions.

"Senior, you have bestowed this opportunity upon me. How may I be of service?"

Upon hearing this, the illusory figure of the Wine Immortal chuckled, pointed at Qin Ming, and said, "You, a junior of the human race, are quite shrewd."

"I do have something for you to do, but it's nothing difficult."

"After I ascended to the True Immortal Realm, I still had a bloodline descendant in the lower realm. After so many years, he should have cultivated to the Integration Stage, and with a bit of luck, he might even have reached the Mahayana Stage."

“His name is Xiong Zhen. He is a member of the Thunderstorm Giant Bear clan and also cultivates in the Myriad Spirits Realm. If you encounter this kid, please help me out and give him this item.”

The illusory figure of the Wine Immortal waved his hand and sent a spirit-patterned jade pendant into Qin Ming's hand.

When Qin Ming heard the name of the 'Thunderstorm Giant Bear' clan, he was startled. This clan was one of the sixteen great true spirit clans in the Myriad Spirits Realm.

With such a profound bloodline background, they don't need his help at all.
Moreover, the son of the Wine Immortal is no ordinary person; the other party even said that his cultivation level might be on par with his own.

Qin Ming immediately put away the spirit-patterned jade pendant and agreed to the matter:
"I, Qin, have noted this matter down."

The illusory figure of the wine immortal nodded in satisfaction, then instructed the spirit of the wine koji:
"Qu Ling, you will be following this young friend Qin from now on. Perhaps one day in the future, we will meet again in the True Immortal Realm, and you will no longer need to stay here."

"It can be considered as settling a karmic debt."

The strange, bearded man resembling a wine barrel bowed and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "I will obey my master's command."

"Still calling me master? From now on, this young friend Qin will be your new master."

"Alright, my last wish has been fulfilled."

"Young friend Qin, I hope we'll meet again someday, hahaha."

As soon as he finished speaking, the illusory image of the wine immortal above the wine pool dimmed and disappeared.

at the same time.

Qin Ming's wisp of soul also dazed for a moment and gradually withdrew from the winery.

As he was leaving, the spirit of the liquor transformed into a point of yellow light and attached itself to Qin Ming before returning to its original form in the square.

……

...On the square of Yunzhou Immortal City.

Everyone was still immersed in the six-colored radiance of the Void Moon Invitation Elixir, something that had never happened before in the history of Yunzhou Immortal City.

Even Elder Xintu was surprised that a human cultivator from the outside world had reached such a pinnacle of skill in the art of spirit wine.

And it received a strong response from the wine vat left behind by the legendary wine connoisseur.

His opinion of Qin Ming suddenly changed, and he no longer simply regarded him as an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

The elders on the platform, Master Maomu, Fairy Nishang, and Poison Spirit were all filled with shock.

The alien cultivators who were watching the spirit wine gathering were thoroughly entertained and discussed it endlessly.

They didn't know where this powerful being had come from, based on the current situation.

It's a foregone conclusion that the Void Heaven Inviting the Moon Elixir will win the championship.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qin. I never expected that your spirit wine would receive such high praise from the Wine Immortal."

"Next, all we need to do is wait for a big shot to arrive so that he can do one last tasting. The champion of this spirit wine will most likely be yours."

"In addition, after the Spirit Wine Gathering ends, I would like to invite you to my residence for a chat. There are some important matters I would like to discuss with you."

Elder Xintu smiled warmly at Qin Ming.

Qin Ming didn't say anything, as he was still savoring the opportunity he had just gained.

On his arm, a yellow lightning-shaped spiritual pattern had appeared, which was the transformation of the 'Spirit of Wine'.

He gave a casual reply and sat down to wait for the important figure Elder Xintu had mentioned to arrive.

Lin Shanjun was also deeply moved, never expecting that Qin Ming, this mysterious cultivator, would cause such a commotion in Yunzhou Immortal City.

Today, I'm probably going to become completely famous.

Then, everyone sat quietly and waited.

Surprisingly, most of the day had passed and the 'important person' had not yet arrived, making the atmosphere rather awkward.

Elder Xintu could no longer remain seated upon seeing this scene.

He immediately summoned a subordinate from the Immortal City and asked, "Wasn't it said that you had already gone to invite the 'Radiant Envoy' of the Gu Clan to come? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

But then he saw a bitter look on the face of the subordinate, who leaned down and whispered a few words in his ear.

next moment.

Elder Xintu frowned, revealing an extremely surprised expression, and said:
"What?! The Radiant Messenger is drunk and unconscious? How is that possible?"

"How dare I lie? Your Excellency was just drinking with someone at a restaurant, downing dozens of jars of 'Knockout Dragon' liquor."

"Many monks witnessed it firsthand."

"The envoy has already returned to his cave to rest, and it's unknown when he will sober up."

Elder Xintu had never heard of such a thing before: a powerful clan envoy visiting Yunzhou Immortal City had been drunk to the point of unconsciousness.

This is truly a strange story.

"Who was that person who challenged the Radiant Envoy to a drinking contest? That's incredibly audacious!" Elder Xintu asked again.

While puzzled, he was also surprised by the other party's drinking capacity, which was able to drink the Gu Clan, one of the sixteen true spirit clans in the Myriad Spirits Realm, under the table.

The Gu clan has a special bloodline and constitution, and their alcohol tolerance is much stronger than others, especially since they are visiting envoys who are in the Integration stage.

The subordinate stammered for a long time, glancing at Qin Ming, but dared not speak.

Elder Xintu then realized that it wasn't hard to guess that the person who had been drinking with the Envoy of Radiance was most likely Qin Ming's drunken spirit pet that had caused such a ruckus at the spirit wine.
He didn't know what to say at that moment.

Qin Ming never expected that the prize won by the Devouring Sky Rat would actually come from an important figure in the Gu Clan.

He's speechless.
It doesn't matter what about the others, but you can tell just by looking at Elder Xintu's attitude towards this 'Radiant Messenger'.

That Radiant Envoy from the Gu Clan was definitely no ordinary person; he was most likely a prominent figure in the clan, otherwise he wouldn't have received such a high level of hospitality.

But the Devouring Rat was completely drunk, so Qin Ming couldn't punish it anymore.

So Qin Ming said apologetically, "I didn't expect it was my spirit pet that caused this trouble. I'm really sorry to have troubled Fellow Daoist Xin Tu."

When Elder Xintu heard him say that, his face twitched, and he didn't say anything more.

He pondered for a moment, then chuckled and said, "In that case, the final judgment of the Spirit Wine Competition will have to be postponed for a few days until the Envoy of Radiance wakes up."

"I'm planning to go and pay a visit. Why don't you come along, Fellow Daoist Qin?"

Qin Ming nodded slightly and did not refuse. After all, it was the Devouring Sky Rat that caused the trouble, and as its master, he had to go out and resolve it.

At worst, we can simply return the person's belongings to them.

After discussing it for a while, the two of them...

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Qin Ming and Lin Shanjun followed Elder Xintu to the upper area of ​​Yunzhou Immortal City, where they transformed into two streaks of light and disappeared.

Meanwhile, Master Maomu and Fairy Nishang looked at each other in bewilderment. This was the first time since the Spirit Wine Festival was held in Yunzhou Immortal City that the event had been suspended.

"Just who is this suddenly appearing powerhouse at the Fusion stage?"

Even a senior like Elder Xintu, with his status and position, looked at him with new respect.

The Fairy of Rainbow Robes' beautiful eyes flickered, "They are probably powerful rogue cultivators who have traveled here, beyond our comprehension."

"With such a powerful figure at this Spirit Wine Conference, the spirit wines of our two clans are simply not up to par, and we have no hope of competing for first place."

"Next, the important thing is to plan for that 'Nine Apertures Spirit Ginseng'."

Master Maomu's eyes flickered a few times, and he secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "What the fairy says is very true. Let's set off now."

After saying that, the two left the square one after the other and headed outside.

Du Lingzi's expression was uncertain as he stared in the direction Qin Ming and the others had left, lost in thought.

Due to the difference in cultivation level, this time he suffered a double loss, not only wasting a jar of spirit wine but also being slapped in public.

He had lost all face and was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he slunk away from Yunzhou Immortal City.

"Hmph! I will remember this humiliation!"

"Don't think that just because you have high cultivation, you can do whatever you want. The good days of Yunzhou Immortal City are coming to an end!"
