What Bixiao had said earlier had left everyone somewhat skeptical.
After all, the girl worshipped Gu Changqing to the extreme.
Perhaps she had deliberately said that to defend him.
But now that Duobao had spoken, it carried an entirely different weight.
First, Duobao had never been one to make wild claims.
Second, if the wine proved useless, his loss would undoubtedly be the greatest.
That made it even less likely that he would make excuses for Gu Changqing.
Besides, Duobao had already stated it outright.
That single cup of wine had actually begun transforming his origin Dao foundation.
It was enough to shock the world!
"Is that really true?"
"Then let me try it too!"
Golden Spirit Holy Mother stepped forward impatiently and immediately drank a cup of wine.
A moment later, her expression became exactly like Duobao's.
"Senior Brother Duobao spoke the truth!"
"My origin Dao foundation is also absorbing an unfathomably profound, indescribable aura."
At that point, no one had any doubts left.
It turned out they had misunderstood Gu Changqing earlier.
For a time, the hundred-odd thousand disciples all beamed with delight and began drinking with overwhelming excitement.
"Haha, senior brother, let's drain this cup!"
"Junior brother, bottoms up!"
"Refreshing! Truly refreshing!"
"Why don't I feel what Senior Brother Duobao and Senior Sister Jin Ling described?"
"Still, after drinking this wine, my magical power has become more concentrated and a fair bit stronger."
The disciples exclaimed in wonder again and again.
They also discovered, to their surprise, that the higher their cultivation, the more clearly they sensed its effects after drinking.
Yet faced with their confusion, Gu Changqing merely wore an inscrutable smile and offered no explanation.
Just then, boundless sage light suddenly appeared.
Looking closely, they saw that Tongtian and Hong Yun had arrived as well.
