Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

"Drink, yes, drink!"

Zhou Yixian stroked his white beard with his left hand, picked up the large bowl, stared at Zhang Xiaofan, and smiled:

"Come on, cheers!"

Zhang Xiaofan picked up the large bowl, shared it with Zhou Yixian, and laughed:
"Senior, let's drink together!"

After saying that, Zhang Xiaofan brought the large bowl to his lips and drank it all in one gulp.

However, after drinking one bowl, he felt something was amiss and looked at Zhou Yixian:

"Senior, this wine is really not good."

"Not good?" Zhou Yixian pursed his lips and said:
"It's alright. It's quite rare to find wine of this quality in this desolate wilderness."

Zhang Xiaofan waved his hand, and a stream of light flashed from his sleeve.

The next moment, something flew out of the sleeve, quickly enlarged, and finally landed steadily on the table.

Zhang Xiaofan opened the wine lid, and Jin Ping'er immediately picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl for Zhou Yixian and Zhang Xiaofan.

Instantly, a rich aroma of wine spread, filling the entire tea stall.

The people in the tea stall sniffed the air and all looked at the strong liquor on Zhang Xiaofan's table with burning eyes.

For these drinkers, the rich aroma of the strong liquor on the table in front of them is nothing short of addictive.

All eyes were fixed on the wine jar on the table, unable to look away.

Zhou Yixian picked up the large bowl, sniffed it, and suddenly his face lit up with joy:
"The aroma makes one's blood boil; it must be fine wine."

"Moreover, this aroma of wine seems familiar. Let me think... Oh right, it's from when I traveled in southern Xinjiang many years ago."

"In that Qilidong, I was received once by the great shaman of the Jin tribe. At that time, the wine we drank was this kind of wine."

At this point, Zhou Yixian looked at Zhang Xiaofan with surprise and said:

"You didn't steal this wine from the Jin clan, did you?"

“Indeed!” Zhang Xiaofan replied, but then shook his head and said:

"However, it wasn't stolen; it was given to me by the Jin Clan Chief and the Great Wizard."

"A gift for you?" Zhou Yixian murmured in surprise, asking in astonishment:
"This is a century-old treasure of the Jin family. It is only brought out to entertain distinguished guests, and it is never given away."

"I thought this wine was delicious when I first drank it, so I asked them to send me a jar, but they absolutely refused. I never expected that the stingy Jin clan would send you a jar?"

Zhang Xiaofan smiled and said:

"Actually, the Jin clan gave me a whole hundred jars."

"What, a hundred jars?" Zhou Yixian exclaimed in surprise. He did not doubt the truth of Zhang Xiaofan's words because he knew that Zhang Xiaofan would not boast about this.

So Zhou Yixian blew on his white beard and said angrily:

"The stingy Jin clan, that damned high priest, sent you a whole jar of century-old rare spirits. But he didn't even send me a single jar. Stingy."

"Huh!" Zhou Yixian suddenly looked at Zhang Xiaofan and asked:
"The Jin clan is so stingy, how could they possibly give you a hundred jars of strong liquor? Even if you fought alongside them against the attacks of the Mu and Xiong clans, given their stingy nature, they would at most give you a few bags of century-old rare liquor, how could they possibly give you a whole hundred jars?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan truthfully replied:
"Because I resurrected the witch goddess Linglong, who existed since the time of the ancient witch clan."

"I see!" Zhou Yixian exclaimed with sudden realization, looking towards the direction of Southern Xinjiang, and said:
"I've also heard of Linglong, the witch of the ancient witch clan. She is proficient in witchcraft, and the beast god from a few months ago was created by her for the purpose of achieving immortality."

"The Witch Queen Linglong is extremely important to the Jin Clan and the Witch Clan. If Linglong is willing, she can make the Witch Clan strong again within a few decades and become the overlord of the entire Southern Frontier." "At that time, I'm afraid even the Incense Valley, which is one of the three great righteous sects in the world and is currently the overlord of the Southern Frontier, will have to avoid her sharp edge and live with its tail between its legs. Or, it may have to stay away from the Southern Frontier."

"I never expected you could revive Linglong. That's quite a skill."

At this point, Zhou Yixian murmured:

"However, given the Jin clan's stingy nature, even if you resurrect their witch goddess, they probably wouldn't be willing to give you a hundred jars of strong liquor. I think it's because your strength makes them wary and respectful that they would do that."

Zhang Xiaofan was surprised that Zhou Yixian had analyzed the whole series of events so clearly in the blink of an eye; he was indeed knowledgeable and wise.

I'm afraid Zhou Yixian is aware of these major events in the world.

Zhang Xiaofan gave Zhou Yixian a thumbs-up, praising him:
"As expected, the senior is knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, and is also incredibly wise."

"That's right, that's right, that's right!" Upon hearing Zhang Xiaofan's praise, Zhou Yixian immediately straightened his back, stroked his white beard, and his nose almost reached the sky.

At this point, Zhou Yixian looked at Zhang Xiaofan's sleeve and asked:

"By the way, just now you waved your hand and the wine jar flew out from your sleeve."

"How can such a small sleeve hold such a large wine jar? Tell me, what kind of magic is this?"

Zhang Xiaofan raised his sleeve and said truthfully, "This is the Universe in the Sleeve. Those hundreds of jars of strong liquor are hidden in this sleeve."

"A universe hidden in a sleeve?" Zhou Yixian murmured, a thoughtful expression on his face, and said:

"A universe within a sleeve, though only a section of a sleeve, can contain all things under heaven and embrace all rivers in the ocean!"

"Excellent, excellent, truly remarkable Taoist arts."

Zhou Yixian suddenly remembered that he traveled all over the country all year round and often had to carry luggage. Although he did not feel that it was heavy, it was still very troublesome, and he did not carry much stuff.

If one were to learn this art of hiding one's belongings in one's sleeve, wouldn't it be possible to pack an entire basket of luggage into one's sleeve, or even more?

This is definitely an essential spell for traveling all over the country.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yixian rubbed his hands together and said:
"I wonder, your hidden universe technique can..."

"No!" Zhang Xiaofan interrupted Zhou Yixian before he could finish speaking.

"Anything can be given away, but your wife and your Taoist magic are not to be given away."

"A wife is a man's exclusive possession, and only he can have her. One's Taoist skills are the means to make a living, a symbol of survival and status in this world, and will never be passed on to outsiders."

"Smack...smack..." Zhou Yixian, not expecting Zhang Xiaofan to refuse to teach him the Hidden Universe in His Sleeve, smacked his lips sullenly and said:

"Zhang Xiaofan, I didn't expect you to be as stingy as the Jin Clan."

"Haha..." Zhang Xiaofan felt extremely happy when he saw Zhou Yixian's expression of wanting what he couldn't have, and he laughed out loud.

"Sigh!" Zhou Yixian glanced at Zhang Xiaofan's sleeve, thinking of the wonder of the universe hidden in the sleeve. He longed for it but could not obtain it, and sighed deeply.

Zhang Xiaofan suddenly said:

“Senior, actually, I comprehended this ‘Sleeve Universe’ technique from a martial art. You can go and comprehend it.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yixian immediately perked up and asked expectantly:
Tell me which technique you learned it from, and I'll go take a look.
