Ever since that day when Wang Dalu ate the meat and wine that no one had eaten in the forest, he had been missing it, not the meat of the little monster but the fine wine he drank that day.
While he was staying at Daochi Sect, although the food was delicious, there was not a drop of wine. Wang Ruofu was in seclusion during these days to improve her realm, otherwise Wang Dalu asked her to help him get some from the sect.
Wang Dalu didn't tell Xia Feng about this matter, otherwise Xia Feng would inevitably have to persuade him again.
Today for some unknown reason, he always felt that there was a faint smell of wine outside his cave, which made him unintentional to practice.
Wang Dalu relied on the aroma of wine remaining in the air and walked slowly towards the forest behind him.
After walking for about three or four miles, the aroma of wine became stronger and stronger, accompanied by the aroma of barbecue.
Walking through the grass half a man high, I saw smoke rising in front of me and smelled the aroma of meat. Everything in front of me seemed familiar.
Wang Dalu looked ahead at the open space about twenty feet away, which was where he had secretly eaten wine and meat a few days ago, and wondered if it was another coincidence for him.
He slowly came to the outside and looked at the fire through the shade of trees.
Sure enough, I saw game roasting on the fire again, and there was still the big dark green gourd sitting there quietly below.
Wang Dalu mobilized the vitality in his body to carefully feel the breath of any practitioners around him.
After sensing it for a long time, he didn't find any clues, but he always felt that this time things were different from last time. Someone should have deliberately set this trap to lure him into the trap, so that he could be held accountable for stealing wine and meat last time.
Thinking of this, Wang Dalu calmed down and watched quietly. He believed that the person hiding in secret would definitely show up after seeing that he did not come forward and the barbecue on the fire rack was cooked.
After waiting quietly for a long time, Wang Dalu smelled a faint smell of burnt aroma.
At this time, a strong wind blew in the forest, blowing out the fire.
When Wang Dalu saw it, he knew that wind and fire complement each other. The stronger the wind, the better the fire. There is no reason why the wind will extinguish the fire.
While Wang Dalu was looking carefully, a person appeared behind him and asked.
"How long do you plan to peek here, little friend?"
Wang Dalu quickly turned around and saw a short, fat old man looking at him with a squinting smile. In his hand, the old man was holding a dark green wine gourd.
Wang Dalu glanced at the back and the wine gourd next to the barbecue was gone, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"I kept staring, but I still let the old man get the gourd without saying anything. He even came close to me. It can be seen that the person's cultivation level is not low, and he is also a high-level monk in the Ningxu realm."
"Your Majesty, Wang Gui, I was passing by this place and saw signs of people in the forest. I came to find out out of curiosity. I don't want to disturb my senior's practice. I'm really sorry that I have to leave now."
After Wang Dalu finished speaking, regardless of the old man's expression, a flying sword appeared at his feet while his legs moved slightly. He was about to leave when he suddenly heard the old man say.
"Little friend, wait a minute, I don't mean any harm."
When Wang Dalu heard this, his face was filled with uncertainty. Finally, he took back the flying sword at his feet, looked at the old man's face and clothes carefully and asked.
"You are always the elder of this Chi Sect, right?"
The old man nodded and said.
"My name is Ran Guang. Last time I left in a hurry and I couldn't meet you, so today I specially invite you to come and taste the good wine and meat."
Wang Dalu was dubious.
"Elder, you are joking. Last time I just passed by this place unintentionally. I shouted everywhere but no one responded. I thought that the person in charge must have something urgent to leave and I can't take care of things here for the time being. At that time, I was hungry.
The meat and wine prepared by my seniors were so delicious, and I couldn’t stop eating them just by smelling them, so I ate an animal leg and drank a few sips of the wine.”
Ran Guang asked Wang Dalu to walk to the clearing in the forest and said as he walked.
"Don't be afraid, little friend, I am such a stingy person. Come, come, come, let's share this delicious food together."
Ran Guang pulled Wang Dalu to sit down. Without Wang Dalu's explanation, he pulled off a roasted demon beast leg and handed it over.
Wang Dalu didn't expect that the old man named Ran Guang was so hospitable, and he couldn't care less about the many people who accompanied Ran Guang to eat barbecue and drink wine.
Until noon, when the sun was shining brightly, the surroundings where the two of them sat were covered in darkness.
After having enough wine and meat, Wang Dalu didn't intend to stay here any longer, so he said a few words to Ran Guang and wanted to leave.
Ran Guang hurriedly took Wang Dalu's hand and said cordially.
"My little friend, you are leaving now? Although you and I have just met for the first time, we are extremely friendly. It is hard to find a close friend. I couldn't find anyone in this huge Dao Chi Sect until my little friend showed up."
When Wang Dalu heard what Ran Guang said, he felt particularly cordial and said something about getting together again when we have time.
Ran Guang's eyes lit up, he shook the dark green wine gourd in his hand and said.
"Oh, it's a pity that there is no good wine. Without wine to accompany you, no matter how beautiful the food is, it will be tasteless in your mouth."
"Oh? Why is this? Have you run out of wine?"
"No, no, the wine is not empty yet the money is gone."
Wang Dalu thought of this and couldn't help but look at Ran Guang again.
Ran Guang was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Wang Dalu like this, and he said with a blush after drinking.
"My little friend, don't think too much. The wine seller is very cruel. One pound of wine costs one high-grade barren crystal. This pot was purchased with the barren crystal that little friend left behind last time."
Wang Dalu couldn't help but hiss, a pound of wine cost a piece of high-grade barren crystal.
Seeing as this big gourd can hold five or six kilograms, wouldn't it cost five or six pieces of high-quality waste crystals?
He secretly said in his mind: "huge profits" and asked.
"I wonder where this brewer is now and what his name is?"
Ran Guang was startled when he heard Wang Dalu's question.
"Why do you ask this, little friend?"
"No, it's just the first time I've heard of such expensive wine, so I want to know who the hero the seller is."
After hearing this, Ran Guang said "Oh" and felt relieved.
He thought Wang Dalu suspected him of lying, so he wanted to find the wine seller to find out the price.
After Ran Guang told Wang Dalu the origin of selling wine, he looked at Wang Dalu with a pair of smiling eyes.
Wang Dalu secretly shouted: "Old fox" and then five purple crystals appeared in his hand and handed them to Ran Guang.
Ran Guang smiled instantly.
"You spent a lot of money, little friend. If you buy wine, I will definitely invite you to have a drink together."
Then Wang Dalu was allowed to leave.
Seeing Wang Dalu walking away, Ran Guang was in a good mood, drank the remaining wine in the gourd, and murmured.
"It's true that outsiders are kind. These are enough for me to drink five gourds."
Speaking of this, Ran Guang remembered that Niu Gensheng, the wine seller, was too dark. A gourd of wine cost a high-grade barren crystal. It seemed that he had to find an opportunity to talk to Niu Gensheng in person. Even if he said that he was also his regular customer, he would not discuss it.
Give yourself a discount.
Ran Guang wanted to take Niu Gensheng as his disciple before, but was rejected by him. No matter what Ran Guang said, he refused to go up the mountain with Ran Guang, but focused on being his winemaker, which really made Ran Guang furious.
Ran Guang had no choice but to give Niu Gensheng some elixirs to replenish his energy and vitality. He only hoped that Niu Gensheng could live longer and continue to brew good wine to satisfy his craving.
Niu Gensheng responded to Ran Guang's repeated request and placed fifty jars of fine wine in his cellar, just waiting for Niu Gensheng to die in a hundred years. If his descendants did not have his craftsmanship, they could sell the aged wine to Ran Guang to drink.
