At this moment, the Carefree Traveler finally thought of a topic.
"Northern General, did you know? This young man is the one who discovered the divine beast, Origin Tool, and Celestial Soldier in the Celestial Stone—Guan Tian."
"Ah? It’s actually him?" The Northern Champion finally looked at the Carefree Traveler with interest.
"That's right. The divine beast was obtained by the Crown Prince. The Origin Tool and Celestial Soldier will be auctioned at the Heavenly Intent Auction House in a few days," the Carefree Traveler continued.
"Oh, the Crown Prince is about to lead an expedition against the Dawson Empire. Obtaining a divine beast will certainly bolster his strength." It was difficult to discern the Northern Champion's attitude towards the Crown Prince from his words.
The Carefree Traveler further said, "You know the Thirteenth Prince, right? I am working under him."
"Jiang Ming? He’s only thirteen this year, quite young," the Northern Champion lightly interrupted, cutting off the Carefree Traveler's subsequent words. He seemed to think that Jiang Ming was too young to be involved in serious matters. His meaning was very clear, and upon hearing this, the Carefree Traveler felt secretly annoyed but had no retort.
He understood the Northern Champion's position and dared not argue that although Jiang Ming was young, he possessed great talent and potential; otherwise, it could lead to endless troubles and even offend the Northern Champion.
The battle between Guan Yue and the Ninth-Order Spirit Beast had reached a fever pitch. With no other options left, Guan Yue had to use the Magic Supreme Technique. A wave of black mist began to spread outward. The Ninth-Order Spirit Beast seemed to recognize the Magic Supreme Technique; it emitted a series of crisp sounds filled with joy, sorrow, and a hint of sadness. It actually stopped its attack.
Moreover, it signaled for Guan Yue to stop as well, and then Guan Yue surprisingly heard its whisper: "Young friend, you must never use the Magic Supreme Technique in public. Anyone who knows you are using this technique must be eliminated immediately; otherwise, it will lead to endless troubles."
The Ninth-Order Spirit Beast paused before continuing: "Since you have mastered the Magic Supreme Technique, you are now a friend of our Beasts. In the future, when I break through to become a divine beast, I will contact you because those who can use the Magic Supreme Technique are already very rare. Now that you have reached a high level, we need your help."
Hearing the Ninth-Order Spirit Beast's message, Guan Yue was greatly astonished: Could it be that Beasts have a connection with magic? They are friends? Guan Yue initially wanted to mention that the Western Celestial Law Ancestor and his grandson could also use the Magic Supreme Technique but held back.
The Ninth-Order Spirit Beast whispered again to Guan Yue: "Let me tell you a secret technique for using magic so that others cannot detect it."
As it spoke, the Ninth-Order Spirit Beast secretly implanted a Divine Sense into Guan Yue's mind.
Guan Yue was suddenly alarmed; what was happening? He had been easily subdued by a Ninth-Order Spirit Beast with just a few words. If it had ulterior motives towards him and wanted to manipulate him, how could he possibly resist? It seemed that the Ninth-Order Spirit Beast was an overwhelming force that he could not defeat at present.
Guan Yue carefully contemplated, and indeed, the Ninth-Order Spirit Beast had given him a method to eliminate the black mist. Without the black mist, it would be difficult for ordinary people to detect the use of Magic Supreme Technique.
Guan Yue intended to bow in greeting, but after a moment's thought, he whispered, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will repay this kindness in the future."
Ninth-Order Spirit Beast smiled and said, "Go back now; this match is considered a draw. I will definitely come looking for you in the future. Practice the Magic Supreme Technique well; it will be of great use later. My name is Xing Xiong."
As Guan Yue exited the Spirit Beast Killing Formation, everyone looked at him with puzzled expressions, including Carefree Traveler. Only Northern Champion shouted loudly, " Guan Tian, well done! You managed to draw with the Ninth-Order Spirit Beast. Impressive! I am Northern Champion, currently serving in the Eighth Legion. We should become close brothers from now on."
"So you are Northern General. I've heard much about you," Guan Yue replied politely. He didn't think too much about military personnel since they had no connection to him.
However, Carefree Traveler chimed in, "In that case, why don't Northern General and young friend Guan Tian join me for a drink?"
"Sure! On such a beautiful day, we should definitely have a couple of drinks," Northern Champion immediately agreed, clearly very interested in Guan Yue.
Thus, Carefree Traveler led the two of them to the finest tavern in the royal City: Celestial Pavilion.
As soon as they entered Celestial Pavilion, Guan Yue suddenly remembered that he still had some Source Water of Jiuquan, known as Celestial Wine, gifted by his friend, and said, "I have a type of wine that my friend gave me, said to be Celestial Wine. Let's try it today."
The reactions of Northern Champion and Carefree Traveler to Guan Yue's suggestion were different.
"Great! If it's celestial wine, then that's wonderful," Northern Champion casually remarked. Meanwhile, Carefree Traveler completely ignored Guan Yue's comment because there was plenty of fine wine and beautiful women in the Celestial Pavilion. What need was there for any Celestial Wine? Besides, being just a young lad, how could he possibly have any genuine Celestial Wine? He must have been fooled.
After some selection and arrangements, the three sat down at a table where several beautiful women were encouraging them to drink while dancing gracefully and providing musical entertainment.
At that moment, Guan Yue spoke again, "I have good wine; would you like to try some?"
Carefree Traveler immediately laughed and said, "I'll pass; the fine wines here are quite good."
Feeling awkward, Northern Champion added, "Brother, if it really is good wine, I’d love to try it too. But if it's just average, then forget it. You know this is a top-tier tavern; their wines are exquisite."
Guan Yue smiled because he had never tasted the wine given to him by the Western Celestial Law Ancestor. He was simply happy and wanted to drink a little. Seeing their lack of interest, he took out a small flask and poured himself a small cup from the jade bottle. He began to savor it slowly.
Before long, the surrounding guests suddenly erupted into an uproar.
Guan Yue and the others were unaware. It was Guan Yue's first time drinking, and he didn't know how the wine tasted, but he felt it was very fragrant and lingering. Moreover, the Essence within him began to grow rapidly. He secretly rejoiced, thinking that this wine was truly a wonderful thing!
Gao Yuxin immediately shouted, "Brother Guan, you can increase your cultivation by drinking wine! That's amazing!"
Guan Yue smiled to himself as he listened to Carefree Traveler and Northern Champion chatting. However, they were both complaining that the wine at the Celestial Pavilion had become increasingly inferior, losing its flavor with each drink.
But outside, the noise grew louder.
Northern Champion opened the door and saw a crowd gathered outside, pointing and whispering, all their gazes directed toward Guan Yue's room.
Northern Champion angrily said, "What is all this commotion? Such behavior is not something that should happen in the Celestial Wine House." He was addressing a servant of the establishment.
At that moment, the manager of the tavern arrived. She was a very beautiful young woman who recognized Northern Champion. She explained, "Northern General, there is a strange occurrence in the tavern. All the wine has lost its flavor. Yet there is a rich aroma of wine floating inside, very fragrant and lingering, which has puzzled everyone. We have been searching everywhere, and it is likely that it has appeared in your room."
"That's nonsense! There can't be anything in our room..." Northern Champion was about to deny it when he suddenly thought of Guan Yue's special wine. Could it be that his wine was causing this phenomenon?
He then instructed the Female Manager to enter personally. When she approached Guan Yue, picked up his wine bottle, and smelled it, her eyes widened in shock as she looked at Guan Yue as if he were an exceptionally handsome man. "May I ask who you are? How much of this wine do you have? Can you supply our tavern with all of it? We will definitely pay a high price and ensure your satisfaction."
At this moment, Northern Champion also took a deep breath at the door; he was stunned by the rich aroma of wine in the air. This fragrance was something he had never encountered before—so fragrant, so inviting, so intense yet so lingering. Various feelings, emotions, and experiences were all savored and appreciated through this wine.
Moreover, it was incredibly stimulating!
Once this wine bloomed, all other wines would lose their flavor! This was truly exceptional wine!
Suddenly, Northern Champion lunged toward Guan Yue, snatching the wine bottle from the Female Manager. He gulped it down in one go. The Female Manager quickly exclaimed, "General, please don't act recklessly! This wine belongs to me now."
After drinking the wine, Northern Champion immediately radiated a brilliant blue light from his body that soared into the sky.
Everyone realized that after drinking this wine, the general had produced Essence, and an overwhelming amount burst forth uncontrollably.
Then they heard Northern Champion laughing heartily, displaying his immense joy as he exclaimed repeatedly, "Good wine! Good wine! This wine should only exist in heaven; mortals can only savor its aroma!"
Northern Champion enjoyed showcasing his literary flair, and Carefree Traveler quickly recognized this trait. However, Carefree Traveler felt embarrassed by the half-hearted level of Northern Champion's eloquence.
Among the onlookers, some recognized Northern Champion and were aware of his reputation. Now that he was shouting about fine wine, it was certain that something was amiss with this particular drink.
The Female Manager looked at Guan Yue's wine bottle, which only had two drops left. She was nearly in tears and pleaded, "Dear guest, could you provide us with a sample? Just a tiny bit. We can exchange it for Golden Jade, one drop of wine for one piece of Golden Jade. What do you think?"
Carefree Traveler was very curious: "Could this wine really be Celestial Wine? It seems to enhance Essence. If consumed over a long period, then...?"
Guan Yue also wanted to test the limits of the Female Manager: "One drop of wine for two pieces of Golden Jade."
"Alright," the Female Manager agreed without hesitation.
Guan Yue felt pleased; although he wasn't sure how much wine was left in that jade bottle, according to Western Celestial Law Ancestor, it shouldn't be little. This seemed to be his lucky break.
However, he decided to keep some of this wine for himself to break through, as it could significantly boost his Essence. It truly was a remarkable item.
Thus, Guan Yue said coldly, "In that case, I will reluctantly provide you with a small bottle of Celestial Wine."
"Is this really Celestial Wine?" The beautiful Female Manager became even more flustered; her face flushed and her voice began to tremble.
Guan Yue replied, "My friend says it is indeed Celestial Wine, which has existed for tens of thousands of years. I don't have much; today is my first time tasting it. You found out about it too soon. Had I known, I should have found a place to savor it alone." There was a hint of regret in Guan Yue's words, but the Female Manager understood he was teasing her, so she quickly ran out and returned with several people.
As news spread about the appearance of Celestial Wine, more and more patrons gathered at the door of Guan Yue's room, buzzing with excitement and speculation.
