Upon hearing their earnest invitation, Li Changfeng laughed loudly, "Since you've all said so, wouldn't it be a shame to refuse? Let's go! Lead the way!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Hanhai burst into laughter, "Brother Li! This way, please!"
The summit of Yaoshan Mountain.
At this moment, the four of them reached the summit. Upon seeing the breathtaking scenery, Li Changfeng exclaimed, "It truly is as you said, a paradise on earth! Excellent! Excellent!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Hanhai smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? Although our Medicine God Valley is far from the city, in this secluded place, our minds are greatly improved, and we also avoid getting mixed up with those martial arts figures. We can focus on refining medicine!"
Li Changfeng nodded in agreement, "Indeed! Sometimes, getting away from the conflicts of the martial world and coming to this place can indeed bring a sense of peace, which is extremely beneficial to oneself!"
Zuo Kangcheng glanced at Sun Hongwen and suddenly exclaimed, "How wonderful it would be to have fine wine to accompany this beautiful scenery, Brother Sun!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Hongwen gave Zuo Kangcheng a disdainful look. "I know, you don't need to hint! I already had someone bring this fine wine. I keep my word, you can tell by the bundle I'm carrying on my back!"
Sun Hongwen slowly opened the bundle behind him, revealing four jars of wine. "Here! One jar for each of you, you won't be shortchanged!"
Seeing this, Yue Hanhai smiled slightly, picked up a jar, and took a small sip. "Good wine! This is Brother Sun's private collection of fine wine. If it weren't for Brother Li here, we wouldn't have had the pleasure of tasting it!"
Li Changfeng also picked up a jar, took a sip, and exclaimed with relish, "This is truly excellent wine! Brother Sun! Your wine is much better than mine!"
Sun Hongwen took a big gulp and laughed, "Right! This is my treasured wine, of course it's good!"
Zuo Kangcheng quickly picked up the last jar, took a sip, and exclaimed with delight, "Delicious! Absolutely delicious! It would be even more perfect if Brother Li's roasted pork were included!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Li Changfeng, rubbing their hands together and chuckling, "Brother Li! Do you have any good meat?!"
Li Changfeng chuckled upon hearing this, "Then hurry up and gather firewood!"
Upon hearing this, Zuo Kangcheng laughed loudly and said, "Alright! I'll go right now! You all just wait here. I didn't contribute anything, just this little bit of firewood gathering!"
Fifteen minutes later.
Zuo Kangcheng carried over a pile of firewood, set it up on the ground, and lit it, igniting a roaring fire. "Brother Li! What kind of meat are you cooking for us this time?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng smiled slightly and tossed out a white tiger. Yue Hanhai exclaimed in shock, "This... this is White-Striped Swift Tiger! A Grandmaster-level demonic beast! I never expected Brother Li to bring out this tiger meat!!"
"Hahaha! Good wine goes well with good food, of course we can't waste this good wine, you wait, I'll make it for you right now!" Li Changfeng laughed loudly, then suddenly peeled off the tiger skin, cut out four tiger legs, and started roasting them.
Under Li Changfeng's careful roasting, a fragrant aroma wafted out, making everyone's mouths water and tempted to dig in immediately. Sun Hongwen swallowed hard and hurriedly said, "How much longer! Brother Li! I can't hold on much longer!"
"Almost there! Just a few more minutes!" Li Changfeng was completely focused on roasting the tiger leg, determined to make it perfect to do justice to such a fine ingredient.
The fragrance spread throughout the entire mountain. Elder Wu, who was tending to the medicinal herb field, twitched his nose and exclaimed in surprise, "What a wonderful smell!"
The Ironclad Gate elder, who was in a deep sleep, was startled awake by the fragrance. His stomach rumbled loudly, and he shouted, "Old Wu! Can you smell that? It smells wonderful!"
"I can smell it! Something that smells so good must be something extraordinary! I wonder which elder hunted a monster on the mountain and is now roasting it!" Elder Wu stroked his beard and chuckled.
"Old Wu! What are we waiting for? I'm starving!"
"This... this isn't appropriate! After all, those are monsters from someone else's barbecue. Going there without permission would be impolite!"
"Pshaw! What's there to be afraid of! At most, I'll bring out some good wine to share with him!"
Elder Wu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of the food. "Fine! I'll go then! So what if I'm impolite!"
"Hehe! That's more like it! Let's go!"
The two of them followed the aroma to Li Changfeng's side. They were slightly surprised to see the four of them, not expecting these juniors to be roasting monsters. However, Li Changfeng and the others also noticed their arrival and were quite surprised!
Elder Wu coughed a few times, already showing his embarrassment. Seeing this, Li Changfeng quickly said, "Elders, please sit down! I'll cook some meat for you both!"
The two exchanged a glance, then slowly sat down on the ground, waiting for Li Changfeng to grill the meat for them. Elder Wu, upon seeing the white tiger, exclaimed with slight surprise, "This is White-Striped Swift Tiger! What a skillful hand! Young Li! Did you hunt this tiger?"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, "Yes! Since Brother Sun has brought out such fine wine, I cannot let him down!"
Upon hearing the words "fine wine, "the Ironclad Gate elder's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Hongwen! Quickly bring me your fine wine to taste!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Hongwen's face twitched, and he poured the wine into his gourd with great reluctance. After pouring a small amount of wine, he stopped. The Ironclad Gate elder glared at him, "Keep pouring!!"
"Ah! I'm almost dead by now!!" Sun Hongwen said reluctantly upon hearing this.
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng picked up the tiger meat in his hand and shared it with the two elders. He also picked up some wine and gave some to them, saying, "Seniors! I must thank you for saving my life. This little bit of wine and meat is a reward for you!"
Upon hearing this, the elder of the Ironclad Gate laughed loudly, "Good lad! Not bad at all! You even know how to be filial to us old folks. If you want to forge any good weapons in the future, I'll personally forge them for you!"
Elder Wu smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Me too! You can come to me if you want to refine pills!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng was overjoyed and cupped his hands, saying, "Then I thank you both for your kindness! If there's anything I, Li Changfeng, need to help with in the future, I will do my duty without hesitation!"
"Good! Just for those words, you deserve a toast from me!" The Ironclad Gate elder laughed heartily upon hearing this, speaking with great pride.
Elder Wu also raised his wine glass and laughed, "Hehe! Then I'll toast you too, who knows, I might really need your help in the future!"
"Hahaha! Then I'll drink first as a sign of respect!" Li Changfeng laughed loudly and took a big gulp of wine.
Seeing this, the two men also drank their wine in large gulps. After drinking, their eyes gleamed with a sharp light. "What fine wine! I never expected that a junior like you would have such a treasured wine!"
Then, they ate the tiger meat again, their eyes widening in amazement. "Delicious meat! This is the first time we've ever eaten such delicious tiger meat!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng scratched his head and chuckled, "Eat as much as you like! There's plenty!"
