Ye Beixuan: I Knew I Came to the Right Place

We congratulate Chief Chu on brewing this sacred wine.

Outside the winery, a dozen elders loudly offered their congratulations.

Chu Feng glanced at the two women beside him, smiled, and walked out of the wine shop with his wine gourd.

As soon as he stepped outside, he looked at the crowd standing there and jokingly said with a smile, "You all have quite the keen sense of smell."

The elders all wore awkward yet polite smiles and said in unison, "We were only attracted by the extraordinary phenomenon of this sacred wine. We wonder if Chief Chu could enlighten us?"

Chu Feng's smile remained bright, "Next time, for sure."

The elders. "..."

Chu Feng almost burst out laughing when he saw the elders all fall silent as if they had been hit by Garen's Q.

"Just kidding, Qin'er brought out a dozen or so cups."

"Promise."

After Qin Qin responded, she found a dozen or so small wine cups and took them out of the winery.

Chu Feng took out his gourd-shaped magical artifact for holding wine and filled each wine cup to the brim.

"Gentlemen, I haven't brewed much of this Dao Enlightenment Wine, so I won't invite you to a banquet. You can take it home and savor it at your leisure."

Upon hearing the words "Dao Enlightenment Wine," the elders' eyes lit up, and they all bowed to Chu Feng, saying, "Thank you for bestowing the wine, Chief Chu."

One by one, they took the wine cups floating in mid-air and poured the Dao Enlightenment Wine into their own personal containers with great care.

We'll take our leave now.

"Um."

Chu Feng gave a slight response and then waved his hand.

The elders left the Miscellaneous Dao Institute with satisfaction. After flying out of Miaomiao Mountain, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Chief Chu is truly a good person!"

"How dare you swear, you old codger! Don't you even know if Chief Chu's side accepts elders?"

"Heh, you old man, do you want to become an elder in the Miscellaneous Dao Institute? You're clearly just craving wine."

"..."

After seeing off the elders, Chu Feng said to Qin Qin and the others, "Let's have a wine tasting banquet tonight."

Upon hearing this, Elder Bing and the others respectfully replied in unison, "Thank you, Master/Sir."

Night fell.

The group gathered in the main courtyard, but they didn't have much of an appetite for the delicious food that looked and smelled wonderful on the table. Their eyes were all on the gourd-shaped magical artifact containing wine next to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng didn't speak, but simply pointed at the wine gourd, and the lid opened instantly.

"Please pour me some wine, gourd."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gourd flew up on its own and poured a cup of wine for everyone present, starting with Chu Feng.

The enticing aroma of the wine was irresistible, and everyone was almost tempted to take a sip.

Chu Feng raised his glass first. "Come on, let's have a sip first. This Dao Enlightenment Wine is good, but it's also strong, so don't drink it all in one go. If anyone gets drunk, I'll make him fly back on his own."

Upon hearing this, Nie Xiuyuan and Xu Caichen blushed. Their master had practically named them by name.

With Chu Feng's instructions, no one drank freely. After having just one cup, they staggered back to their respective residences.

In the secluded courtyard, Elder Bing's face was slightly flushed, and her large, watery eyes looked at Chu Feng: "Sir, I'm a little sleepy, so I won't be able to bring you water to wash your feet tonight."

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Then you should get some rest."

After saying this, he watched Elder Bing return to his room before going back to his own room to meditate and rest.

Xu Caichen returned to his villa in a drunken stupor. As soon as he entered, he saw three identical Xiaozhuo standing in the courtyard, looking at him anxiously.

He said with a smile, "Xiaozhuo, how come you have three? Is this a new spell you learned? Are you trying to bring me some different kind of joy?"

Xiaozhuo rubbed her temples and stepped forward to support Xu Caichen: "My lord, you're drunk. Let me take you to rest."

"No, I'm not drunk. I want to use alcohol to gain enlightenment, just like my master."

He spoke as he walked toward the study.

Xiaozhuo's figure stopped at the door of the study, because there was a portrait of a Confucian sage inside, and as a ghost, she could not get close to the study.

well...

She sighed deeply and had no choice but to wait outside the study.

Xu Caichen entered the study, and for some reason, the moment he saw the portrait of Saint Kong, he was completely sober, and the content of Analects of Swinging floated into his mind.

The Analects of Swinging that had recently overturned his understanding of the world have now given him a unique insight.

"Saint Kong advocated rites, so why don't I see a trace of rites in this portrait?"

As Xu Caichen muttered to himself, the portrait of Saint Kong seemed to come alive and shouted at him.

"Etiquette is a skill of concealing a sickle or other sharp weapon within the sleeves or clothing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Saint Kong in the painting suddenly flicked his sleeve, and a short sword flew out from his sleeve.

Accompanied by a sword light imbued with supreme righteousness, that sword flew into Xu Caichen's mind.

The word "propriety" was imprinted in Xu Caichen's soul.

Meanwhile, Nie Xiuyuan held the "Nanhua Scripture" in his hand, shaking his head as he studied it, in a state of semi-consciousness.

Apart from the chanting, there was no other sound in the entire room.

Nie Xiuyuan found a long-lost peace in his heart. He felt that he was now in the state he had always wanted, eliminating all distractions and focusing solely on reading the Daoist scriptures.

"Ding! Host disciple Xu Caichen has comprehended the Saint Kong, entering the realm of Literary Intent. Host is rewarded with +1 to the True Essence of the Great Dao."

"Ding! Host disciple Nie Xiuyuan has entered the Nanhua Scripture. Reward host: True Essence of the Great Dao +1."

Chu Feng, who was meditating, heard two familiar notification sounds in succession. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he murmured to himself:

"This Dao Enlightenment Wine is truly a wonderful thing. When Chen'er return, we must let them try it."

As Chu Feng spoke of Xiao Chen and the others, Ye Beixuan, the one he least worried about, suddenly came to mind. He wondered how the little guy was doing.

It's been a year and a half since he went down the mountain, and there's still no news about him. If it weren't for the system occasionally notifying him that this kid has broken through a minor realm...

Chu Feng had almost forgotten he had such a disciple. If he counted carefully, Ye Beixuan had broken through three minor realms since he started cultivating the Primordial Chaos Creation Art, and should now be at the Dao Foundation Fourth Stage the Foundation Establishment Realm. With the Sword Jade he had given him, he shouldn't encounter any threats.

Thinking of this, Chu Feng lay down and fell asleep, drifting into a sweet dream.

Meanwhile, Ye Beixuan was on a mountain Wanli south of the Dao-Seeking Academy.

As night deepened, Ye Beixuan watched as Ye Beixuan flew silently along the edge of the cliff.

He carefully observed the cave on the cliff and murmured to himself: My memory should be correct. There is a Mystic Yellow Fruit in a cave on an Wuming mountain cliff more than two hundred miles northwest of the Cloud Mist Sect.

According to my memories from my previous life, the Mystic Yellow Fruit was not discovered until more than sixty years later. At that time, it attracted many geniuses to fight over it, and even the disciples of the Dao-Seeking Academy perished here. Therefore, the disciples of the Dao Dao-Seeking Academy discussed this Wuming hill with extra care.

Ye Beixuan was able to find this place smoothly because the Mystic Yellow Fruit should not be fully ripe yet and will not produce any unusual phenomena. Now is the best time to pick the Mystic Yellow Fruit.

The Mystic Yellow Fruit takes a hundred years to flower and a hundred years to bear fruit, but it only produces one Mystic Yellow Qi every hundred years. It is fully ripe when there are nine wisps of Mystic Yellow Qi inside the Mystic Yellow Fruit.

Judging by the time, there should be eight Mystic Yellow Qi inside the Mystic Yellow Fruit now, which is enough for me.

Ye Beixuan looked at the vines on the cliff, casually patted them, and the vines were instantly blown away by the wind from his palm.

A cave, barely big enough for a child to crawl into, came into Ye Beixuan's view.

Ye Beixuan's face lit up with joy as he looked at the cave. He then used his divine sense to probe inside the cave, and in a short while, he saw a pale golden Mystic Yellow Fruit growing in a crevice in the rock.

A slight smile played on his lips, his face beaming with excitement. "I knew I hadn't come to the wrong place!"
