In a little over ten minutes, the team in front of Li Xuan entered the restaurant one after another.
While waiting, Li Xuan noticed that every time the word "酒" (wine) lit up on the restaurant sign, it indicated entry was permitted. Now, as the word "酒" lit up again, Song Wuwen pulled Li Xuan and headed towards the restaurant.
"Huh? There's no one to greet us in this restaurant?" As soon as Li Xuan entered, he realized that apart from disciples from various peaks sitting densely packed, there was no one resembling a waiter. He couldn't help but be surprised.
"The restaurants here are not like those in the mortal world. Let's go, there should be seats inside." Song Wuwen chuckled upon hearing this, then, as if familiar with the place, pulled Li Xuan and walked further inside.
As they sat down, Li Xuan observed that the disciples from various peaks inside the restaurant were not speaking. Instead, they held their wine cups, as if lost in some dream, completely engrossed.
"Heh heh, fifth junior brother, remember not to drink too much later. This is your first time, three cups will be enough. Otherwise, you'll sleep for three days and three nights without waking, and our master might even blame us." Seeing Li Xuan's expression, Song Wuwen said with a smile.
Li Xuan's expression stirred, his curiosity intensifying. If this was a restaurant, he hadn't smelled a hint of alcohol since entering. Now, hearing Song Wuwen's words, Li Xuan became even more eager for the wine here.
Just then, Li Xuan's mind moved, and he saw a sealed wine jar flying rapidly towards them. Following it, a voice came, "One jar of wine, ten million Taiyuan Crystals."
Li Xuan was stunned. This restaurant was too peculiar, selling wine in such a manner without even a person appearing. And the price was indeed not cheap.
Before Li Xuan could speak, Bai Yueze smiled slightly, then waved his hand, and a stream of spiritual light shot out from his sleeve, flying rapidly towards where the wine jar had come from.
"Senior disciple brother, this is..." Li Xuan asked.
"Fifth junior brother, although our new disciples from the Seventh Peak are supposed to treat senior disciples to drinks, the senior disciple brother always pays upfront. You can repay him with Taiyuan Crystals once you earn them in the future. Although, none of us have ever repaid him." He Xidong said with a smile.
Li Xuan couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling a sense of gratitude. Su Yueze's action was, in a way, helping him out. More importantly, it showed a spirit of inclusion. After all, not every new disciple would have ten million Taiyuan Crystals on them.
Although Li Xuan had a considerable amount of Taiyuan Crystals, taking them out now would be somewhat embarrassing.
"Thank you, Senior Disciple Brother," Li Xuan said, cupping his hands in a salute to Su Yueze.
"Haha, fifth junior brother, since you are our junior brother, these formalities can be dispensed with in the future. Alright, let's begin. I've been longing for this spiritual wine for a long time. Oh, right, remember, fifth junior brother, you can only drink three cups."
Seeing this, Song Wuwen clapped the wine jar, and the lid sealing it was instantly shaken off. A peculiar aroma immediately spread.
Upon smelling it, Li Xuan felt as if his soul had been sublimated. Then, the aroma instantly vanished without a trace.
Li Xuan opened his eyes in surprise. Seeing Su Yueze and the other three already starting to sip their drinks, he picked up the wine cup in front of him and took a small sip.
Hm?
As the wine went down his throat, Li Xuan felt a surge of pure spiritual energy. It felt like boiling water passing through his throat. However, this sensation quickly disappeared.
Immediately after, Li Xuan felt the Star Spirit Bead within his spiritual mansion begin to churn.
What kind of wine is this? It has such a divine effect!
Feeling this, Li Xuan couldn't help but be secretly amazed. With just a sip, the spiritual energy within him was already faintly boiling. If he drank a whole cup, wouldn't it be even more astonishing?
Seeing Su Yueze and Song Wuwen, along with the other four, fall into a state of intoxicated bliss, just like the other disciples at the tables, Li Xuan gritted his teeth, then raised his wine cup and drank it down in one go.
As Li Xuan finished the cup, his entire aura instantly changed. The spiritual energy within him began to boil madly.
"How was this wine brewed..." Li Xuan muttered, his eyes gradually becoming hazy.
With just one cup, he already felt a slight intoxication.
The wine, when first entering the mouth, was slightly sweet. Going down the throat, it was slightly astringent. And after it settled, it was like fire.
As the effects of the wine spread, scenes of his youth with Li Yao gradually emerged in Li Xuan's mind.
Those past moments, one after another, caused hot tears to slowly stream down Li Xuan's face.
With a sudden shake of his head, Li Xuan's hazy eyes instantly became clear and bright. He glanced at the wine jar on the table, poured another cup, and without hesitation, drank it down.
Boom!
As Li Xuan drank the second cup of wine, the taste was no longer the same. His eyes, which had just become clear and bright, instantly became unfocused.
"Little junior brother, live well!"
He Xiuzhu collapsed, Wen Boya collapsed, Shen Zian, Song Qianyu, Lü Hanchi, Wang Kun...
As scenes flashed through his mind, Li Xuan's face was once again covered in tears. In his hands, he was already holding the third cup of wine, slowly pouring it into his mouth.
Li Xuan was completely unaware that after he drank the third cup of wine, a graceful figure slowly appeared at the second-floor railing. From her exposed eyes, it was clear she was a beauty.
At this moment, the graceful figure was staring at Li Xuan, who continued to drink, and murmured, "One drop of life's tears, two fen of old tears, three parts of bitter tears, four cups of regretful tears, five inches of lovesick tears, six feet of parting tears, seven flavors of heartbroken tears. My Forget-Worry Dream-Returning Wine has them all."
"Who is this person?"
