Yang Mei's love of wine had been entirely accidental.
Originally, Yang Mei had simply been bored with nothing to do, so he enjoyed tinkering with all sorts of things. Put in later generations, he would have been a bona fide researcher.
By chance, Yang Mei had concocted fruit wine. Of course, it had only been the rudimentary form of fruit wine, carrying merely a faint taste of alcohol.
Yet even with only a trace of that rich wine fragrance, Yang Mei had utterly fallen in love with it.
Afterward, through a series of experiments and step-by-step research, he had developed the fruit wine of today, complete in color, aroma, and flavor.

At first, Yang Mei had only used low-grade Innate Spiritual Fruits for research and experimentation. Later, he gradually began using mid-grade Innate Spiritual Fruits, then High-grade Innate Spiritual Fruits, and finally Top-grade Innate Spiritual Fruits.
It could only be said that hard work truly bore rewards.
At the very least, Yang Mei had gained immensely from it. On the path of wine, he could be said to stand unrivaled in the Primordial World.
When other Innate Beings, Innate Divine Beings, or Innate Divine Demons entertained fellow Daoists and guests, they still served Innate Spiritual Fruits, Innate Sweet Dew, and the like, at most adding tea.

Yang Mei could be considered at the forefront of the Primordial World's trendiest fashion.
A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
One jar of fruit wine was drained amid Bai Yu and Yang Mei's casual conversation.
