There were hundreds of wine cabins built within the Green Bamboo Palace. Those who were permitted to sell spiritual wines in the cabins were at least Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivators.
Most of the Vein Opening Realm disciples could only set up a crude and simple stall along the street. The spiritual wines that were displayed on the stalls were for cultivators who visited the palace to drink.
The expenses of providing free tasting were all recorded under the account of the sect. As for the profit earned from selling the spiritual wines, it would belong to the disciples of the Green Bamboo Palace.
The main function of the sect was brewing spiritual wines. The reason of holding such a wine party was to select disciples who were good in brewing wines and focus in cultivating them.
Other than earning immortal jade, each and every one of the disciples of the Green Bamboo Palace gave their best and used every skill possible to attract customers in order to obtain the attention of the sect.
As Ning Fan walked across the long street within the palace, the aroma of spiritual wines soothed his mind and soul which were filled with the bloody scenes of killings and slaughters.
Old Devil once said that wines and women are indispensable on the journey of cultivation. He’s absolutely right.
Countless female stall owners along the street had shining eyes and attractive looks. They made eyes at every man that passed by the street, causing countless male cultivators to stop by their stalls. Only Ning Fan remained composed and collected from the beginning to the end of his journey. He only gave a faint smile at those female stalls owners who behaved suggestively.
Occasionally, he would stop by and taste one or two cups of wines. However, he would never purchase any bottles from the stalls or give a good or bad comment about the spiritual wines. Once the wines entered his throat, he would then turn around and left.
The spiritual wines he tasted were mostly first level spiritual wines.
Cao Kang who was following him behind was constantly grumbling and complaining. The reason why he wanted to follow Ning Fan into the palace was to take the opportunity and drink more second level spiritual wines so that he could break through the bottleneck of the Mid Harmonious Spirit Realm depending on the medicinal power of the wines.
Originally, he planned to lead Ning Fan to the stalls that displayed higher level spiritual wines. However, Ning Fan seemed like he recognized where he was going as he specially select the direction which led them both to the low level spiritual wines. Eventually, they actually arrived at the first level district which exclusively sold first level spiritual wines.
Was it possible that Ning Fan could recognize the way? No. It’s impossible. How could a Vein Opening Realm junior know the way as he had just visited the Green Bamboo Palace for the first time?
This young friend, Yun Fan, only visits the Green Bamboo Palace for the first time. It’s certainly impossible that he could recognize the way, unless he is able to check the surroundings using his spirit sense and understand the layout of the Green Bamboo Palace… Checking the Green Bamboo Palace with his spirit sense? It’s rather beyond logic!”
As soon as this thought rose within his mind, Cao Kang immediately eliminated it. He only felt what he was thinking about was truly ridiculous.
Surveying the layout of the Green Bamboo Palace with his spirit sense? It was just unrealistic.
Not to mention that this young man is a Vein Opening Realm junior that has yet to have spirit sense, even if he has, the area within the Green Bamboo Palace is set up with Peak Nascent Soul Realm Sense Blocking Formation. Other than Divine Transformation Realm old ancestors, who could see the streets and areas within the Green Bamboo Palace with his spirit sense?
“Fine. Since my young friend, Yun, wants to drink first level spiritual wines, I will accompany him for the moment. After all, the expenses of the drinking are all on him…”
Cao Kang was a person who still had some virtues. After receiving someone’s money, he would then honestly and sincerely carry out his duty.
He no longer cared about the level of the spiritual wines they were going to drink. He decided to follow closely behind Ning Fan and take a cup of spiritual wine whenever he saw a stall. Then, he would gulp down the wine in a mouthful unappreciatively like a cow chewing peonies.
Ning Fan paid no attention to him as he immersed himself in the cups of spiritual wines he took, calming his mind with wine.
Each mouthful of wine he took turned into a warm current as soon as it entered his throat, evoking traces of comprehension.
When common people are feeling sorrow and misery, drinking wine will lessen their negative feelings.
When common people are joyful and happy, drinking wine will help promoting the upbeat ambience.
Why drinking wine can help diminishing one’s sorrow while promoting one’s joy…
Why will someone who originally can stay sober even after drinking one thousand cups be drunk immediately after just drinking a single cup when he is broken-hearted…
Ning Fan was absorbed in his thoughts. All the understandings and comprehensions he had gained up until today blended into the cups of wine he drank. Gradually, it dawned on him that there were also some underlying principles in wine drinking.
Wine can’t change a person’s mood. The only element that changes is the person’s feeling itself.
Mortals are not immune to alcohol. Therefore, they will be drunk after drinking. However, why would cultivators also be intoxicated even though they have magic power that protects them?
Looking at the cup of wine in his hand, his understanding about wine drinking became deeper. At the same time, he realized that as he gained more insights about the Dao of Wine, his intent realm was actually beginning to sublime!
It was not an advancement in levels where it gets to the Perfect Accomplishment from the Large Accomplishment but a change in its quality…
Back then when he was on the star island, he had managed to complete the initial stage of combining his three intent realms: divine intent, demon intent and devil intent into one, drawing the snowy scenery in the Seven Apricot City in midair. As a result, he invented a new technique called Wind Snow Technique.
In the Lost World Tower, he had completely fused his three types of intent realm, becoming a brand new intent realm which was at its early stage.
An Eight Grade Divine Intent of Rain, a Sixth Grade Devil Intent of Mountain and Demon Intent of Fu Li which was at least an intent realm of the First Grade.
When the three different types of intent realm combined, what would his new divine intent become? What grade of intent realm would it be?
Ning Fan had no idea. He only knew that the completely new divine intent would be presented in the form of the snowy scenery in the Seven Apricot City and its grade was higher than the First Grade.
Intent realm was categorized into nine different grades. Demon General Li Ban’s Demon Intent of Carp was a Ninth Grade intent realm while Demon Intent of Fu Li or the Four Divine Beasts was First Grade intent realm… What was the grade beyond the First Grade?!
The cup of spiritual wine in his hand was like a pointer that led him to a series of new insights.
Ning Fan then figured that wine must share a common relation with his brand new divine intent. Otherwise, his thoughts would definitely not stray off course suddenly because of a cup of wine.
“My new divine intent. What exactly is it and what grade does it have?”
“What Great Dao does this cup of wine exactly have? Why was it able to make me lose my focus?”
“I don’t understand and I can’t figure it out…”
Ning Fan took up a cup of first level spiritual wine and then put it back to its original place again and again.
He passed by each of the stalls along the path but he was disappointed over and over again.
No. No… These were not the spiritual wine he wanted. These types of spiritual wine could not give him a clear understanding and they were unable to let his divine intent promote to the next level.
His state of mind became more and more confused. This was the sign of the germination of Heart’s Devil due to his failure in attaining the complete comprehension.
In front of his eyes, the hatred and grudges he had in the past suddenly overwhelmed him. Those were the memories where he was humiliated in the Hai Ning Family of the Wu Country when he was still a mortal.
“Why are these past memories surfacing right now to disturb my state of mind…” Ning Fan’s eyebrows were tightly knitted.
Cao Kang who was following him behind was somewhat perplexed.
Why does my young friend, Yun Fan, begin to pick and choose the first level spiritual wine without drinking it? Could it be that he wants to look for the second level spiritual wine?
His brows are so tightly knitted that he looks like someone has owed him money.
Cao Kang was pondering. Suddenly, his thought was interrupted by a cough in front of him.
“This wine… *Cough*!”
Ning Fan held a cup of spiritual wine and took a gentle sip. Then, his expression was filled with surprise and in the next moment, all his pent-up hatred from the past memories turned into a mouthful of foul blood which he coughed out from his mouth!
This scene had almost made Cao Kang leapt out of his skin.
He looked just well a moment ago. Why does he cough out blood now?!
Cao Kang approached the stall and glanced coldly at Ning Fan’s cup. The wine that made him cough out blood was just a first level spiritual wine.
No. To be more promise, it was barely a first level spiritual wine. Its medicinal power was very light as it was only slightly stronger than mortal wine.
Wait. It was simply a mortal wine which carried a hint of medicine taste!
“You have coughed out blood, my friend. Could it be that this wine is poisonous? Or is it because the medicinal power of this wine is too strong that it hurts your immortal veins? But it’s impossible. It’s clearly a plain wine and the medicinal power within is so insignificant. Is it really poisonous?”
Cao Kang quizzically took up one of the cups and sniffed. He wore a weird expression and gulped it down. However, he looked even more bewildered after that.
It’s strange. This wine is really not pleasant to drink. But it does not seem poisonous at all.
It’s just as plain as water. There isn’t even a hint of medicinal power and it has zero effect in raising one’s cultivation base.
However, above all else, it has no poison.
Cao Kang contemplated internally but he could not find any reason as to why Ning Fan would cough out blood.
Anyways, since he had taken Ning Fan’s money, it was impossible for him not to feel responsible for the latter’s safety.
“Are you the one who brewed this wine?! Explain! Why did my friend cough out blood after drinking your wine?!”
Cao Kang’s eyes turned cold as he looked at the owner of the wine stall. His expression looked rather imposing even though he did not reveal his anger. The stall owner was a young teen who was only a Third Level of Vein Opening Realm cultivator and looked poor and weak when faced with Cao Kang’s question.
From Cao Kang’s perspective, asking the stall owner directly was the most straightforward method to find out why Ning Fan coughed out blood.
Besides, the stall owner was just a Third Level of Vein Opening Realm cultivator whereas he, Cao Kang, was a Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator. In front of him, how can the teenager be bold enough to lie?!
The young teen’s face turned pale as he was being questioned by Cao Kang. His techniques in brewing spiritual wine were indeed inadequate. Strictly speaking, this batch of spiritual wine was not even considered first level spiritual wines. Naturally, there weren’t any excellent wines among them.
However, although the wine he brewed were not of excellent quality, they were at least perfectly safe to drink. It was impossible for anyone to cough out blood after drinking his wine!
When he heard Cao Kang’s domineering tone, the young boy knew that this matter was probably going to be a big deal if he could not give him a satisfying answer.
Just like Cao Kang said, the one who coughed out blood was his friend! How could the young boy who was just a Vein Opening Realm disciple offend a Harmonious Spirit Realm expert’s friend?!
“D-Deacon Cao. This junior really does not know why this brother puked blood. However, this junior is willing to compensate…”
“Fine! Compensate him! If you can compensate him well, my friend and I will not look into this matter!” Cao Kang glanced over his shoulders. Ning Fan had already wiped off the bloodstains on his mouth and stood there deep in thought.
After seeing that Ning Fan was still in good condition, Cao Kang felt a sense of relief. He did not want to make this matter a big deal. Good or bad, he was also a member of the Green Bamboo Palace. Even though he had an excuse to reprimand the brewer and ask him to compensate them as a wine of his own sect had caused someone to puke out blood, he felt it unnecessary to really teach this disciple a lesson.
“Yes! This junior is willing to compensate t-ten immortal jade…”
The teenage youth was terrified. Cao Kang, a dignified Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator, was an external deacon of the Green Bamboo Palace who was in charge of new disciples like him.
He was very afraid of offending Cao Kang. Therefore, he certainly was willing to buy peace with some money. However, the problem was that the amount he offered to compensate was somewhat less than everyone’s expectations.
“Ten immortal jade?”
Cao Kang chuckled in anger.
He had already given this young boy a chance to make amends but he did not expect that the latter would be so insensible.
His wine had caused Ning Fan to puke out blood and he only offered to compensate ten immortal jade?!
Who was Ning Fan? Even though he was just a Vein Opening Realm junior, he possessed a massive amount of immortal jade. Would he even care about the young teen’s ten immortal jade since he could give away one thousand immortal jade as he pleased?
“One hundred immortal jade!” Cao Kang’s tone turned cold this time.
“I-I can’t! One hundred immortal jade is all the money that I have…” The teenage youth begged.
“Humph!”
Anger rose within Cao Kang. He was not going to go easy on the young boy anymore. Since the latter showed no sincerity in his compensation even after he had given him the opportunity, he felt that there was no harm in extorting him.
Well, it was appropriate to help someone eliminate disasters after taking the person’s money. Moreover, he had taken one thousand immortal jade from Ning Fan.
“You, come here! You will compensate as much as the blood he had puked out!” Cao Kang rolled his sleeves up, preparing to beat someone up. This act scared the young boy.
This scene made Ning Fan shake his head helplessly.
To a certain extent, this Cao Kang was a man with a sense of justice. He thought it was the young boy’s fault that Ning Fan puked out blood and he wanted to seek justice for him.
However, since when did Ning Fan, a dignified devil lord, need a Harmonious Spirit Realm junior to seek justice from an insignificant Vein Opening Realm ant?
“Fellow Daoist Cao, please calm down. There’s nothing wrong with this wine. It’s some other reason that made my spit blood. It has nothing to do with him.”
Ning Fan flicked his sleeve and blocked him. Cao Kang’s fist softened and he actually felt that he could not muster up any strength for a while. A strange feeling filled him.
“Are you sure you are all right, Yun?”
“Yes. I’m fine. This wine is not bad. I’ll take all of them. How much do they cost?” Ning Fan smiled as he asked.
“Huh? You still want to buy them? Aren’t you afraid of spitting out blood again after drinking them?” Cao Kang was puzzled.
“I won’t spit out blood anymore. The mouthful of blood that I expelled just now was the pent-up hatred that I have been clinging to since my youth. I was only able to expel it until today. Thanks to this mouthful of blood, I finally understand why this wine could give me so many insights… That explains the matter.”
With the help of a light and watery wine, Ning Fan actually obtained a tremendous comprehension.
“B-Brother Yun, I brewed all these wines and they cost two hundred immortal jade… But… I don’t dare to take your money. Since you are Senior Cao’s friend, I will give them to you as a gift…”
The young boy was too scared of Cao Kang. Thus, he certainly would not dare to ask Ning Fan for money.
“Really? I, Yun Fan, can’t take your wine without giving you something. These wines are excellent. They are the wines of my native place… Your ancestors are cultivators from Wu Country of the eight hundred cultivation countries, aren’t they?” Ning Fan spoke.
“Yes. Are Brother Yun’s ancestors also cultivators of Wu Country?!” The young boy beamed with joy. It was the same feeling when one runs across an old friend in a distant land.
“Yes. The wines of Wu Country are always unforgettable. They contain memories as well as resentment. I thought I have already forgotten the grudges that I harbored in the past. However, I’ve come to realize that there are too many things in this world that we could pick up but not let go. Therefore, the mouthful of blood still remained within my heart after all these years. It was only after drinking the wine of Wu Country that you brewed a moment ago that my mind gained clarity and expelled it out of my body… Hatred and grudges aren’t something easy to let go of. Wine is unable to help one forget his memories. It still depends on one’s heart to let go of those memories.”
Ning Fan’s words stunned Cao Kang and the young boy. His words were baffling to them. However, Ning Fan did not explain much. He only patted his storage pouch and took out a bottle of Vein Opening Pills. He then gave it to the young boy as a gift.
“Since you won’t accept my immortal jade, I will give you pills then. Your personality is too weak and you are always being bullied by others. However, you can’t always tolerate them. In the life of a cultivator, one should straighten his back and only then will he have the opportunity to seek his own Dao.”
He placed the bottle of pills there and kept all the spiritual wine with a flick of his sleeve. Then, he left for other stalls without any hesitation. As for Cao Kang, he was literally stunned by what Ning Fan did.
Vein Opening Pills?! It can’t be wrong! He has given the young boy a whole bottle of Vein Opening Pills! There are at least twenty of them!
That bottle of pills is worth at least one thousand immortal jade!
Buying a whole bunch of useless mortal wine with one thousand immortal jade? The way he spends his money is way too excessive.
“It’s such a waste! He does not have to spend his money that way even if he has tons of them! Even though he has no concept of money, he should at least understand how precious Vein Opening Pills are! Is it because he has seen too many Vein Opening Pills and he does not care about these pills at all? Could it be that he comes from a famous and influential family that is being guarded by a Gold Core Realm expert?”
Cao Kang heaved a deep breath. The longer he looked at Ning Fan’s back, the more he felt that his guesses were right.
If he isn’t a descendant of a Gold Core Realm family, how could he spend his money like water…
He darted a complicated glance at the young boy and coldly uttered.
“My friend is fine now. Consider yourself lucky. You may continue running your business. But remember, don’t mention the matter just now to anyone else!”
“Yes. This junior will never say a word of it.” The young boy held the bottle of pills tightly in his hands. He was so excited that his heart nearly flew out from his throat.
Cao Kang snorted coldly and quickly caught up with Ning Fan.
Before he could even feel happy that Ning Fan was finally heading to the exit of the area that displayed first level spiritual wines, he saw him enter where the mortal wines were.
This time, Ning Fan made up his mind to only drink mortal wine.
Cao Kang felt like weeping but no tears came out of his eyes. The reason he offered to guide Ning Fan was to get some delicious and powerful wines, not plain mortal wines!
“My young friend, Yun, mortal wines aren’t good to drink. I have a good friend at the Harmonious Spirit Realm in the Green Bamboo Palace who can brew extremely smooth and delicious second level spiritual wines. How about I take you there to have a try? If you like it, you can just purchase a few bottles. It’ll be better if you can buy a few for me as a gift too. Don’t worry. I have a very close relationship with that person. It won’t be difficult for me to get a discount…” Cao Kang sounded as if he was begging.
“No need. I think mortal wines are not bad.”
“Hai…” Cao Kang heaved a deep sigh.
Inwardly, he began to think that Ning Fan must be a person who did not know much about wines. Even a fool knew that first level and second level spiritual wines were better than mortal wines. However, he still insisted on drinking mortal wines…
It can’t be wrong. He must be a person who has no knowledge of wine. He just toys around and drinks whatever he likes!
Cao Kang really wanted to leave Ning Fan behind and go to the area where second level spiritual wines were with his yellow grade bamboo plate to have a good drink.
However, when he thought of Ning Fan who did not know much about wine, he was worried that the latter would be cheated by others and spend lots of money on buying mortal wines.
“Fine. I will follow him for the moment so that he won’t be cheated by others… *Sigh* It seems like I won’t be able to drink even a sip of second level spiritual wines today…”
Naturally, it was impossible for Cao Kang to know what Ning Fan was thinking.
Ning Fan’s mind was still absorbed in the Wu Country wine that was brewed by the young boy. He patted his storage pouch, took out a bottle of wine and drank it clean in one gulp. His demeanor was rather heroic.
“Good wine!” Ning Fan praised.
“You definitely haven’t tasted a genuinely excellent one…” Cao Kang criticized him internally.
What Cao Kang cared about was the medicinal power of the wine. As for Ning Fan, however, what mattered most to him was the new comprehensions and insights hidden within.
With a mouthful of wine, he suppressed his past hatred and grudges and puked out a clump of blood that had been residing within him for years. Then, his thoughts became clear and bright.
“The wine of Wu Country revived my past memories. As such, I puked out a clump of blood that suppressed my Heart’s Devil. Wine can help one diminish sad memories and allow one to preserve their happy memories. Wine can help one forget worries while inspiring joy. The former is about forgetting while the latter is about preserving…”
“Forgetting means erasing memories. Preserving means freezing and holding memories. There are three thousand great principles within a wine. However, I am only able to discover the Dao of Preserving!”
“Memories! I suppose my new divine intent is about memories!”
Ning Fan finally understood why his divine intent would increase whenever he drank wine.
It was because after his three types of intent realms had combined, his brand-new intent realm was memory!
Memory was a type of intent realm which was completely different from other intent realms such as his rain intent, mountain intent and etc.
Rain was tangible while mountain was also a physical thing. Memory, however, was intangible and invisible!
If the intent realms of the nine grades were considered as First Step Intent Realms, then Ning Fan’s brand new memory intent that he created from combining his three types of intent realms was a Second Step intent realm. In other words, it was an intent realm that was much greater than the Demon Intent of Fu Li!
It was a process where his intent realm turned into an incorporeal state from its former physical state.
Meanwhile, Ning Fan was thinking if a Third Step divine intent existed in this world where he had to turn his incorporeal divine intent back to a physical state!
Only then would it conform with the path of cultivation that was opened up by the Immortal Sovereign!
The Divine Intent of Rain could alter the weather. The Devil Intent of Evil Luo Mountain could simulate lofty mountains.
As for the Divine Intent of Memory, it could change and distort a cultivator’s memories and mess up their minds, eventually causing them to lose themselves.
In the mortal wines section, Ning Fan walked past each of the stalls.
The alcoholic drinks that were displayed for free tasting were all mortal wines. No cultivators had ever set their eyes upon these. To Ning Fan, however, these mortal wines were incomparably precious. He took up cup after cup and drank all of them clean in one gulp.
Although these wines were ordinary, they were able to bring back his memories.
Scenes of vengeance and killing surfaced in his mind. Just as his memories interchanged, his Divine Intent of Memory was improving gradually.
From the Large Accomplishment level, it was slowly advancing towards Perfect Accomplishment.
The memories which he cherished the most were the days when he was still a very ordinary person.
What he wanted to protect the most was his loved ones who had kept him company on his path of climbing towards the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao.
“These wines might be ordinary, but they were able to bring back my memories. I was originally a mortal, an ordinary person. Eventually, I chose the path of cultivation because I was reluctant to suffer humiliation. I chose to defy the immortals because I wanted to protect my mortal loved ones.”
“The Divine Intent of Rain, the Devil Intent of Mountain and the Demon Intent of Fu Li are three completely different types of intent realms. Each of them carries a distinctively different power and it was impossible to merge them into one in the first place. The reason why I was able to combine them into one was because of my memories, my past memories of Seven Apricot City. I drew the scenery of snow and cold plums and forcefully merged the three types of intent realms into this piece of memory… Then, I got the intent realm of memory which was a Second Step Intent Realm!”
“In the past, I had no idea why both mortals and cultivators would be drunk by drinking. Now, I found the answer…”
“Mortals can become drunk and it’s their bodies that are being affected by the alcohol. Cultivators can feel intoxicated and it’s their hearts that are being affected. Magic power can protect a cultivator’s physical body but it can’t protect one’s heart. If one harbors pain and intends to get himself drunk, he will still be intoxicated no matter what. What is being drunk? I have once asked myself and my answer was dying from wine. However, I still have yet to understand what death is. It’s today that I finally realized that it is the heart that is dead! If one’s heart is dead, they are already intoxicated even without wine…”
Ning Fan kept drinking along the way. When he drank the previous cup of wine, he looked intoxicated and dizzy but when he drank the next one, he looked extremely sober without even a sign of intoxication. His mind was interchanging between being sober and drunk.
At the same time, his mind was selecting the fragments of memories that surfaced in his mind, determining which to forget and which to preserve.
He could never forget two things: love and hatred. Other than those, he could forget all of the rest.
Cao Kang was inwardly astonished. When he looked at Ning Fan, he had a false impression that the latter was someone that he could only admire and respect.
Currently, Ning Fan’s presence gave out an aura that could only be seen by Divine Transformation Realm old monsters.
This aura could influence Cao Kang and it was his intent realm of memory.
Cao Kang stood beside Ning Fan. Scenes of past memories flowed into his mind like tidal waves, causing him to be absorbed in his own thoughts.
He began his path of cultivation since he was a teenage boy and bade farewell to his parents. However, when he finally had some achievements, his parents were no longer alive… Past incidents and events resurfaced in his mind. Tears welled up in his eyes which then trickled down. All of a sudden, he only wanted to drown his sorrows with wine.
Slowly, he began to taste mortal wines. Gradually, he became a little drunk.
It was because his mind was now chaotic. The power of Ning Fan’s memory intent had disrupted his thoughts.
After that, Cao Kang had surprisingly discovered that his memories seemed to be changing. It was as if his memories were being literally rewritten by someone!
He had never heard of anyone who was capable of distorting the memories of others.
It was simple to search one soul and eliminate his memories. However, changing one’s memories was difficult!
What was memory? It meant one’s recollections as well as the samsara.
It was one’s recollection of the past that was kept within samsara. Other than the Heavenly Dao and samsara, no one would be able to change memories!
Cao Kang internally surmised that Ning Fan was the one who caused the weird feeling he was having now.
For the first time, he began to have doubts on Ning Fan’s identity and started asking himself whether he was a Vein Opening Realm cultivator or not!
“B-Brother Yun, who exactly are you? Are you a Gold Core Realm senior?! I have a feeling that you aren’t a Vein Opening Realm junior!”
“I am who I am!”
Ning Fan suddenly stopped walking. His eyes turned clear and bright. He withdrew the power of his memory intent. At this moment, his memory intent was only a single step away from achieving a breakthrough.
He did not continue his comprehension because there was a boisterous crowd blocking the path in front of him.
The large group of cultivators seemed to be composed of fourteen ladies. Twelve of them were maidservants while two of them were masters.
“Everybody get out of the mortal wine section now! Please act without fail! Mistress Tan Tai wants to come here to drink!”
Four Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivators stepped forward and cleared the path, driving away the handful of customers within the section.
When the four of them glanced at Ning Fan, they did not feel anything unusual as they thought he was just a Vein Opening Realm junior. When they saw Cao Kang, three of them looked stunned and only the middle-aged man sneered as if he had some old grudges against him.
“Cao Kang, we have some respected guests in the house. Why don’t you hurry up and bring your junior out of this place?!” The person who spoke was Gong Mao. Since he was on bad terms with Cao Kang, his tone was certainly harsh.
