Inside the Tianyun Pavilion.
Ye Ling and Ji Ning walked into the main hall and saw that A Yun had already set up an extremely luxurious banquet.
The ingredients used for the delicacies on the table were all unfamiliar to Ye Ling, but each dish was a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste, making them incredibly tempting.
Just looking at the dishes, Ye Ling's appetite was whetted.
And these were not the main point. Each dish contained an extremely vast amount of energy. Ye Ling knew without looking that they were all great tonics, highly beneficial for cultivation.
"Tianque Dragon Meat, Fire Abyss Phoenix Wings, Ten Thousand Poisons Beast Brain, Nine Revolutions Spirit Grass... My heavens... Are these dishes made from ancient divine beasts and ancient sacred medicines?" Ji Ning exclaimed as she entered the hall and saw the dishes, her eyes nearly bulging.
The ingredients used for the dishes on the table were all from ancient divine beasts and sacred medicines, many of which Ji Ning had only read about in ancient texts!
Moreover, whether it was the Tianque Dragon, the Fire Abyss Phoenix, or the Ten Thousand Poisons Beast... they were all divine beasts capable of killing supreme experts in ancient times. Yet here, on Tianyun Island... these divine beasts were made into dishes...
Seeing the ingredients, Ji Ning felt her breathing become difficult, her mind almost ceasing to function.
How extravagant was this?
On this island, if one bathed in the Tianyun Sacred Spring, ate divine meat, and cultivated top-tier techniques every day, even the most foolish person in the world could become a supreme expert, right?
"Our honored guests have arrived, please be seated quickly!" A Yun said, rising to greet Ye Ling and Ji Ning as they entered the hall.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Elder," Ye Ling said with a smile, bowing to A Yun, and then sat down with Ji Ning in the seats to A Yun's right.
The main hall of the Tianyun Pavilion was very spacious. Besides A Yun, who occupied the main seat, many young men and women with outstanding demeanors were seated on both sides.
Except for Ye Ling, everyone in the hall was a supreme expert, which made Ye Ling seem somewhat out of place.
"This banquet is rather sudden, and many precious ingredients could not be prepared. Please forgive us, honored guests, for the inconvenience," A Yun said with a smile to Ye Ling and Ji Ning.
"This is considered making do?" Ji Ning's mouth twitched as she looked at the ingredients on the table.
She could no longer imagine what a banquet that wasn't "making do" would be like.
Ye Ling, not knowing much about the ingredients on the table, was not greatly moved. He cupped his fists and smiled at A Yun, saying, "You are too kind, Elder. Your warm hospitality makes us feel a bit overwhelmed."
"Haha, it is good that Lord Di Zu does not mind!" A Yun laughed heartily and raised his cup to Ye Ling, saying, "To welcome the two of you, I will drink this first!"
With that, A Yun downed the crimson wine in his cup.
"Haha! Elder is truly generous. I, Ye Ling, will also drink this!"
Seeing A Yun drink, Ye Ling also picked up his wine cup with a smile. However, just as he was about to take a sip, he paused for a moment. After confirming that the Zhenshi Pearl had no reaction, he drank the wine in one gulp!
As the wine went down, Ye Ling felt a powerful surge of spiritual energy flow into his meridians, greatly enhancing his cultivation.
With just this cup of wine, Ye Ling felt his cultivation increase significantly, almost touching the bottleneck of the Wuwu Realm and breaking through to a new level!
Ever since Ye Ling's special training with Shan, he had been exploring a brand new realm of supreme power. However, to enter that new realm, he still needed a large amount of spiritual energy to fill it...
Yet now, he had obtained such terrifying spiritual energy just by drinking a cup of wine... This left him somewhat astonished!
What kind of divine wine was this?
"This wine... is it the legendary wine brewed with the Three Abyss Divine Fruit?" Ji Ning, standing beside him, exclaimed again upon seeing the blood-red wine in the cup, looking as if she had seen a ghost.
Seeing Ji Ning's shocked expression, Ye Ling asked, "Ji Ning, what is the Three Abyss Divine Fruit?"
Ji Ning trembled and said, "Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a sect called the Three Abyss Palace. Its Palace Master, Jiu Xiaoyao, mastered a special technique that could cultivate the Seed of Origin into a Source Divine Tree... And that Source Divine Tree would bear a Three Abyss Divine Fruit every ninety thousand years!"
"It is rumored that consuming the Three Abyss Divine Fruit can cause an ordinary person to directly grow the Dao Heart and become a Creation God. Creation Gods who consume it can also greatly increase their cultivation, bringing them close to the threshold of a supreme expert!"
"I thought these were just fabrications in ancient texts, but this wine... it looks exactly like the Three Abyss Divine Divine Wine recorded in the secret history of the Three Abyss Palace!"
"It seems the guest recognizes this wine." A Yun smiled at Ji Ning. "That's right. When Jiu Xiaoyao came to the island, he learned the cultivation method of the Source Divine Tree from our library."
"So the Three Abyss Divine Fruit originated from Tianyun Island?"
Ji Ning looked at A Yun with a shocked expression. She had never known that the Three Abyss Palace had any connection to Tianyun Island.
"Yes... we have a Three Abyss Divine Fruit orchard on Tianyun Island, and the islanders love drinking wine brewed with the Three Abyss Divine Fruit," A Yun said with a soft laugh.
"There's... there's an orchard..." Ji Ning's mouth twitched again, feeling as if her brain was about to shut down.
Even the immensely powerful Three Abyss Palace at that time only had one Source Divine Tree within its domain.
And after the decline of the Three Abyss Palace, that Source Divine Tree was ultimately destroyed at the ruins of the Three Abyss Palace due to the struggle among many supreme experts.
Since then, there had not been a single Source Divine Tree in the entire Origin Upper Realm.
Ji Ning simply couldn't imagine that Tianyun Island had an orchard!
Thinking of this, Ji Ning could no longer hold back and drank the Three Abyss Divine Wine in one gulp.
Vast energy surged into her body, nourishing her entire meridians.
"The guest has a good capacity for wine." A Yun chuckled and clapped his hands. The golden boy and jade girl standing behind Ye Ling and Ji Ning immediately refilled their wine cups.
"Honored guests, please enjoy yourselves to your heart's content. Our Three Abyss Divine Wine is available in unlimited supply. Today... we won't return until we're drunk!"
"Alright! We won't return until we're drunk today!" Ji Ning laughed heartily, no longer being polite, and downed another cup of Three Abyss Divine Wine, drinking with great gusto!
With every cup she drank, her cultivation increased tangibly!
At this moment, Ji Ning no longer cared about what ulterior motives Tianyun Island might have. She only wanted to exploit Tianyun Island as much as possible and seize this opportunity to gain as much strength as possible! Da Feng Novel Network
Ye Ling, after confirming that the Three Abyss Divine Wine was harmless to him, also took this as an opportunity to break through and began to drink heartily.
Cup after cup.
Although he had not gone to the Tianyun Sacred Spring, this Three Abyss Divine Wine was also a good tonic.
Moreover, Ye Ling had already refused A Yun's kindness at the Tianyun Sacred Spring. If he continued to be reserved at the banquet, he might directly fall out with A Yun.
Given the setup in the hall, if they fell out, Ye Ling would have little chance of leaving.
Therefore, Ye Ling drinking heartily at the banquet could also lower A Yun's guard!
For a time, the hall was filled with the clinking of glasses and merrymaking!
Ye Ling's cultivation also steadily increased.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly.
However, drunkenness gradually began to erode Ye Ling and Ji Ning.
Slowly, Ye Ling found that his spiritual energy could no longer evaporate the alcohol in his blood. His head gradually became heavy.
He was getting drunk...
"Something's... not right..."
Ye Ling felt his vision blur. He turned to look at Ji Ning and found that she had already drunk herself to the ground.
But A Yun showed no signs of drunkenness. He walked over with a smile and raised his cup to Ye Ling, saying, "Lord Di Zu, let's continue drinking..."
"I..." Ye Ling wanted to refuse, but his hand involuntarily poured the Three Abyss Divine Wine down his throat.
His drunkenness grew.
Gradually, Ye Ling's consciousness became hazy, and his eyelids felt incredibly heavy.
And as he was about to fall asleep, he vaguely saw A Yun's lips curl into a sinister smile.
"It seems... I've fallen into a trap."
