Chapter 1231: Dragon Flame Wine
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Zhang Ruochen rushed toward the patrol team camp, led by Ao Xinyan. He saw the alcohol maniac who looked like a beggar and dragged him out of the camp.
The alcohol maniac was exhilarated after seeing Zhang Ruochen. He gave Zhang Ruochen a wine pot and said, “This is the wine I just made. Do you want to try some?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t take the wine pot as he was careful about that alcohol maniac. He said, “I’m curious how you knew I was in God Dream Swamp.”
Only the Immortal Temple could reckon his traces.
Zhang Ruochen was alerted as the alcohol maniac suddenly showed up.
The alcohol maniac sipped the wine seeing Zhang Ruochen not pick it up, “You’ve drunk my wine. I can follow you with that smell.”
Alcohol maniac had a great sense, which was witnessed by Zhang Ruochen before. It was likely he could track Zhang Ruochen with that smell.
However, Zhang Ruochen was still confused. He said, “We’ve only met once. Why did you come all the way here to look for me?”
“Even though you’ve drunk with me once, you’re my drinking friend. You should know that not everyone’s qualified to be my drinking friend. I’ve only got a few.”
Alcohol maniac continued, “I just want to get wasted, which is why I came all the way here to look for you. Let’s get wasted tonight.”
Zhang Ruochen, “How can you only have a few drinking friends?”
The alcohol maniac sat on the ground and said, “It’s not that easy to find a drinking friend. Some people don’t have a high tolerance, some people misbehave after they’re drunk, and some people are not brave enough. You need to have all three to be my drinking friend, otherwise, it’s just going to be torture for me.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “That means I have a high tolerance, behave well after getting drunk and am brave enough? I don’t drink that much actually.”
“If you become friends with me, you’ll become friends with drinks as well. You’ll gradually realize how great alcohol is,” the alcohol maniac said.
“How great?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
The alcohol maniac glanced at Ao Xinyan and said, “Greater than the beauty beside you.”
Zhang Ruochen found the alcohol maniac to be very rude. How could he say something like that? She was the princess of Divine Dragon Half-human race after all.
Ao Xinyan wasn’t angry. She said, “Then I want to drink the wine you made now.”
“Okay! You’re brave enough, but let’s see whether you have a high tolerance or not,” the alcohol maniac said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “You’ve only brought one pot. Perhaps it’s not enough.”
The alcohol maniac pointed at Zhang Ruochen and said, ‘This is God Dream Swamp. There’re lots of great wines in the vault here. Dragon Flame Wine is the most famous one, and it’s ranked the eighth in the world, much stronger than Dragon Spirit Wine.”
Zhang Ruochen had tasted Dragon Wine Mad Bull Wine before. It was indeed very strong. If he drank more, he might get wasted and black out.
Yet Dragon Spirit Mad Bull wine was only ranked seventeenth.
How strong could Dragon Flame wine be?
Ao Xinyan shook her head and said, “No you can’t do that. Dragon Flame Wine’s been stored there since ancient times, and there’s not much left. Even the clan leader can’t drink it without asking. Besides, Dragon Flame Wine is very strong. Not many people can withstand that.”
The alcohol maniac said, “Zhang Ruochen, you’re not very close to her, are you? She doesn’t want to serve you Dragon Flame Wine.”
Ao Xinyan tried to explain, “It’s not that I don’t want to take the Dragon Flame Wine. It’s just too strong for saints to withstand it. A half saint snuck a sip of Dragon Flame Wine before, and he was burned into ashes.
“That’s alright. Where’s the alcohol maniac?”
Zhang Ruochen looked around, but he couldn’t find the alcohol maniac anymore.
“He was just here.”
Ao Xinyan was shocked too as she didn’t know when the alcohol maniac had left.
“That girl is too petty. I’ll go to the vault of the Divine-dragon half-human race and bring some Dragon Flame Wine back.” The alcohol maniac’s voice spread from somewhere.
Ao Xinyan frowned and said, “Who is that alcohol maniac?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and smiled. “I don’t know who he is, but I’m sure that he’s not just some random person. He might be a great being in secret. Let’s go find him. He doesn’t even know where the vault is. If he just roams this place and runs into the killing formation, he might be in grave danger.”
Ao Xinyan didn’t believe that the wine maniac could find the vault that stored the precious Dragon Flame Wine. Even if he found it, nobody could break the formation that protected the vault.
The alcohol maniac had completely gone. Not even the mind power of Zhang Ruochen could find him.
“Let’s notify the patrol army to close all the killing formation,” Ao Xinyan said.
Just as Zhang Ruochen and Ao Xinyan rushed to the patrol army, the alcohol maniac was holding a wine tripod, rushing out and laughing.
“There’s indeed not much left. Zhang Ruochen, we got lucky. Let’s share this.”
Ao Xinyan’s eyes popped.
She could recognize the tripod held in the alcohol maniac’s hand, and it was one of the tripods used to store dragon flame wine.
How was it possible?
How did he find the vault? And how did he break the formation?
And how did he do it so soon.
“This one is for you.”
The alcohol maniac threw the wine tripod toward Zhang Ruochen.
The tripod was made of bronze. It was ten feet tall. God knew how much wine there was inside.
Zhang Ruochen was dazed. He found the alcohol maniac to be too reckless, as he had stolen the only two tripods of wine that the Divine-dragon half-human race had.
“Dragon Flame Wine is a valuable of the Divine dragon half-human race. You’re stealing.”
Ao Xinyan rushed toward the alcohol maniac, trying to grab the Dragon Flame Wine back.
Dragon Flame Wine was ranked the eighth not just because of its strength, but also because it was an object that could be used to refine bodies and improve refinement.
Each tripod had at least thirty jugs.
Each jug of Dragon Flame Wine was as effective as an elementary saint pill, which meant the Dragon Flame Wine was incredibly valuable.
The alcohol maniac saw Ao Xinyan flying toward him. He sighed, moved his body and tapped her shoulder.
Ao Xinyan blacked out and fell on the ground.
The alcohol maniac didn’t even look at Ao Xinyan on the ground. He tapped on the shoulder of Zhang Ruochen and said, “Go! Let’s find a hidden place for drinks.”
Actually, Zhang Ruochen was keen on Dragon Flame Wine as well. Now that he had it, he’d love to try it.
Certainly, he couldn’t just leave Ao Xinyan here, so he grabbed Ao Xinyan and left with the alcohol maniac.
They didn’t have anywhere else to go, so they had to hide under Heart Moon Lake and enter the crystal palace.
Zhang Ruochen put Ao Xinyan on her bed before he started to drink with the alcohol maniac again.
He opened one of the tripods, and crimson light gushed out of it, releasing heated waves.
The dragon flame wine was a lot like lava. Ordinary people didn’t even dare try it.
The alcohol maniac couldn’t be more excited, more excited than when he saw an exquisite beauty. He finished a bowl of wine and started to pour himself a second one.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t binge like the alcohol maniac. He picked up the bowl and sipped it.
The Dragon Flame Wine was indeed hot. He felt a fire burning in his stomach.
With the alcohol flowing in his body, the flames also flooded into his veins, rushing into his one hundred and forty-four apertures.
Zhang Ruochen kept drinking the Dragon Flame Wine, and the one hundred and forty-four apertures in his body became brighter and brighter. He could feel his body constitution getting stronger.
Sanctifying bodies was the first goal of monks, but it wasn’t the ultimate goal.
Every creature who had sanctified his body wanted to refine it to reach the supreme saint level. As long as he could open and sanctify all the one hundred and forty-four apertures, he could sanctify his entire body. If he wanted his body to be at the supreme saint level, he needed to complete all his apertures.
To all the body monks, each aperture was like sand at the beginning. They needed to keep enlarging the sand, turning it into a stone, a mountain, and then a star before it was completed.
One hundred and forty-four grains of sand certainly was nothing compared to one hundred and forty-four stars. The gap between creatures who had just sanctified their bodies and creatures whose bodies were at supreme-saint level was also like that.
Zhang Ruochen drank twenty-three bowls, which was half a jug of the dragon flame wine. His cape was burnt into ashes, and he couldn’t even stand up straight.
“I’m done now… I need to go back. You keep going…”
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t even speak properly. He had no idea where he was. He climbed up and stumbled toward the door.
The alcohol maniac had a high tolerance, but he was also tipsy and couldn’t think straight. He waved at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Yeah you can go back now. I’ll drink a bit more.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t know he was naked. He opened a door and stumbled in.
Peng.
He fell on the bed. He could feel something very soft, but he had no idea that he was sleeping on a curvy body.
“Smells so good. So soft…”
Zhang Ruochen had a huge headache, but he had never felt so relaxed before. His right hand was touching something perky, soft and warm, so he squeezed it with more strength.
It was so comfortable.
He slept with his head on the neck of that smooth body, completely losing his consciousness. He blacked out.
