Chapter 91 Wine Gathering Begins

Chapter 91 Wine Gathering Begins

Long Ming felt that Liu An is like a gigantic mountain standing before the crowd. Although he didn't flaunt his power, his invisible aura alone gave pressure on those who gazed at him.

" As you know, The Wine Gathering Festival has been happening for thousands of years. Today is when we appease the spirits of our ancestors with the best quality wine." Liu An announced.

" As per the rules of the festival, Please receive a token. The queue will be according to the number inscribed on the token."

" After judging the wine, we will select the best wine and proceed to the next stage."

" Also, You can share and exchange your wine here. After all, This is Wine Gathering after all."

Liu An laughed as he looked at them. " But of course, What kind of wine festival it will be if the hosting family doesn't serve any wine at all? Please, enjoy the wine of the Liu Family."

Suddenly, servants holding exquisite vases walked forward among the crowd as they poured wine into glasses.

The atmosphere is filled with the sweet scent of wine that can uplift a person's mood. The sweetness was like spirit nectar, without any shed of intoxication.

" This is our first wine, Spirit Honeydew."

The wine was like a golden translucent liquid with a thick viscosity. Long Ming and the disciples of Four Seasons Valley held the glass as they tasted the wine.

" This... This is kinda sweet."

" Indeed. The alcohol content is pretty low, but the sweetness is filled with a mild vigor of spiritual qi that invigorates one's soul."

Long Ming also drank it with closed eyes as she savored the wine.? He only gave a light smile and placed the cup on the plate. Many guests took the second or even third cup, but Long Ming didn't drink more than once.

At that moment, the guests already walked to the pavilion to offer their wine.

Long Ming found a seat and sat down, observing the crowd. His eyes narrowed when he saw the Blissful Heaven Temple's Elder holding a wine jar and walking on the pavilion.

" Fellow Daoists, This is our newly brewed wine, It's called the Blossoming Emotions. Made with exquisite herbs, it has been fermented for over a hundred years. However, I am sure it will be able to give a competition to more aged spirit wines here."

" Huh? Look at that..."

" Such a rich aroma of wine. It contains a different level of spiciness.

" Indeed, I can feel my body warming up a bit. Not to mention, a surge of energy filling my body and soul."

The elder sealed the jar and passed to the guests of the Liu Family while the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple poured the wine to those standing below the pavilion.

" This..."

" How is this possible?"

Long Ming was surprised when he saw the expression of the Four Seasons Valley's disciples.

" Haha, Brother Long, Why are you sitting there alone? You should also taste this new wine." Mo Zhu gave a devious grin and gave a cup of wine to Long Ming.

Long Ming realized that Mo Zhu was up to no good. However, he understood that Mo Zhu couldn't be able to mix any weird things in his wine in front of everyone.

However, The moment Long Ming tasted the wine, he nearly spat it out. Although his face remained calm on the outside, his expression turned dark.

" How was it, Brother Long? O hope it's according to your liking." Mo Zhu grinned.

Long Ming looked at Mo Zhu and only answered him with a faint smile. Seeing Long Ming isn't riling up, Mo Zhu felt a strange discomfort in his heart.

' Hmph, Let's see how long you can stay calm.' He thought inwardly and turned around and walked away.

When Mo Zhu left. The Four Seasons Valley disciples swarmed around Long Ming.

" Brother Long, This wine... This wine is eerily similar to the Song of Summer and Winter."

" To those who never drank the Song of Summer and Winter, this wine is naturally one of the best quality wines. However, We can feel the distinct icy hotness of the Song of Summer and Winter." Luo Yingying spoke hurriedly.

Long Ming looked at them and nodded. " Indeed, You are not wrong. They used the Song of Summer and Winter as a base to create these Blossoming Emotions."

" What? So, It's true?"

" How is that possible?" Lin Xie cursed.

" Could it be... Someone leaked the brewing method of our wine?"

Long Ming shook his head. " That's impossible. They didn't brew the Song of Summer and Winter at all. Rather than that, they used a cheap trick."

" They purchased a large amount of Song of Summer and Winter from the market and reduced it to get its essence since the market versions are the diluted wines."

" After getting the essence, they mixed one part of Song of Summer and Winter with two parts of other wine and left it for fermentation. The other wine was very strong in flavor and rich in true qi."

" It masked the flavor of the Song of Summer and Winter, making a new and better wine."

Hearing Long Ming's expression, all the disciples of Four Seasons Valley became both shocked and worried.

" The Blissful Heaven Temple got a headstart. Not many people here tasted our Song of Summer and Winter. So, if we present our wine here, won't people accuse us of stealing the formula of Blissful Heaven Temple?" Chen Yin thought for a moment before she spoke.

Long Ming looked at all of them as he gave a gentle laugh. " What? Are you guys thinking that we are going to lose?"

All of them looked at Long Ming, who was sitting with a calm expression with a tinge of a smile. His aura alone gave a celestial and sacred feeling, making the disciples pacified.

" Sisters, Do't worry." Shui Huan spoke first. " Since Senior Brother is here, I am sure he will crush those Blissful Heaven Temple bastards under us."

" Indeed, Senior Brother definitely has a plan."

" Hehe, I always trusted Senior Brother Long."

" Alright, Enough chit chat." Long Ming adjusted his sleeves and looked at Luo Yingying.

" Yingying, I have a task for you."

" Yes, Senior Brother?" Luo Yingyin nodded.

" Since this is Wine Gathering Festival, I am sure many old drinkers must have come here." Long Ming spoke. " Try to find the one who is most knowledgeable about wines. And ask them if they are feeling the taste of Blossoming Emotions is similar to a wine that they drank before."

" Ah! Alright." n.(0velBIn

Luo Yingying nodded as she turned around and walked away. Long Ming looked at the token he got and then, he looked at the disciples. " All of you, Get ready to serve wine. Our turn is near."

" Yes, Senior Brother..."

As the disciples dispersed, Long Ming sat there with a sigh. He never thought that the Blissful Heaven Temple such a cheap yet effective trick.

' Fuck, But to think then even managed to blend two wines perfectly. I guess they really planned this all along, huh?' Long Ming suddenly poured out his newly brewed wine into a cup and took a sip.

Even though his mind was racing, there was no effect on his elegance. He sipped the wine gently and savored the taste of each drop.

" Hoho, Such nice smelling wine. Young Lad, will share some with me?"

Long Ming's pupils shrank when he looked at his side. He saw an old man wearing ordinary clothes standing beside him, looking at his wine cup intently.

One had to know that the moment Long Ming walked inside the Liu Family manor, his Heavenly Revelation Eyes were constantly active. But this old man managed to come so near without any warning. His divine sense didn't catch him at all.

" Greetings, Elder. This junior is from Four Seasons Valley."

" Four Seasons Valley, huh? A male disciple in Four Seasons Valley...How amusing." The old man chuckled as he laughed. " But why are you giving so respect to an old geezer like me? I am just a ordinary, low level cultivator."

" Elder, Don't you feel an ordinary thing amidst a lot of rare things will be more eye catching?" Long Ming gave a light laugh. " How should I address you?"

" Haha, I like your attitude. You are much better than those arrogant dickheads." The old man laughed. " My name is Ren Qian. You can call me Old Ren."

" Elder Ren..." Long Ming smiled. " Judging from your age, It looks like you have witnessed quite many scenes across your life."

Ren Qian laughed as his eyes narrowed. " Well, I guess you are right. I am already too old."

" Also, That pair of eyes of yours... They are very interesting." Ren Qian chuckled. " Such pair of divine eyes are very rare to see."

Long Ming's expression turned stiff when he heard that. Closing his Heavenly Revelation Eyes, he spoke, " I am sorry for using my technique on you."

" I can indeed share this wine with you, Elder Ren." Long Ming spoke. " However, I have a small request."

" Hmm? I don't think an old man like me got any power." Ren Qian sighed.

" Well, I am searching for someone who is an expert in the field of wines. Do you have anyone in your vision?" Long Ming asked calmly.

" Huh? You want to meet a wine expert?" Ren Qian became surprised.

" Haha, Kid, Your luck is pretty good." He laughed out loud.

" Because the best one is standing right before you."
