Chapter 87 Unless Heaven is blind
Seagod Island Inner Courtyard Dining Hall.
Unlike the outer courtyard's dining hall, this place allows the sale of alcoholic beverages. The inner courtyard's dining hall, however, typically serves medicinal wines brewed from precious herbs and special cultivation resources produced by spirit beasts. These wines not only aid cultivation but also clear blood vessels and promote blood circulation, providing excellent medicinal effects.
Naturally, this is also a place where Shrek's number one drunkard, Elder Xuan, often comes.
The disheveled old man, carrying his empty wine gourd in one hand and gnawing on a braised chicken leg in the other, strolled leisurely to the window where wine was dispensed.
With a loud clang, he raised his hand.
Elder Xuan casually placed his wine gourd on the table in front of the window, and said in a deep voice, clearly annoyed, "Huang Ji! Come here and get me some wine! I want Xuanlu Penis Wine!"
A middle-aged man who was dozing off was suddenly jolted awake and quickly stood up from his stool.
He recognized that voice all too well!
He quickly walked over, grabbed the gourd with a handle, opened the gourd's mouth, and started collecting the water from the barrel's spout.
The Xuanlu whip wine poured into the gourd with a "splashing" sound, not a drop spilling, and half a day later it was still not full.
Because Elder Xuan didn't have enough wine, he specially commissioned the Soul Guidance Department to make this wine gourd. To put it bluntly, this thing is essentially a storage soul tool, which can only hold less than ten cubic meters at a time. If it were to fill up so quickly, Elder Xuan would probably have to go to the Soul Guidance Department to have Qian Duoduo repair it.
If the wine barrels in the inner courtyard weren't large enough, they might not have been able to fill Elder Xuan's gourd completely.
No! It should be said that the wine barrels used to store the medicinal wine in the inner courtyard were custom-made to be this large because of Elder Xuan!
Because apart from Elder Xuan, everyone else in the inner courtyard only took a small sip of the medicinal wine, unlike him who was inseparable from it.
Seeing that the gourd would take a while to fill, Huang Ji, having nothing better to do, joked with Elder Xuan, "You're back from the Star Dou Great Forest so quickly, looks like you're done? Did those kids get their soul rings smoothly?"
Old Master Xuan chewed the meat in his mouth for a while, then swallowed it unhurriedly, smacked his lips, and said, "I'll send a few children back first. Le Xuan is over there, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Huang Ji glanced at Elder Xuan with a strange expression, muttering to himself, "Leaving Zhang Lexuan to hold the fort alone over there? Elder Xuan is truly audacious and shameless."
Of course, he dared not say what he was really thinking, and quickly smiled and said, "Oh, Le Xuan, her strength is indeed enough! The number one young person in our inner courtyard is there to keep things in order, no wonder Elder Xuan is so relieved to come back."
If I were Zhang Lexuan, I would have cursed this drunkard to death long ago! Last time, of that group, including the previous Shrek Seven Devils, only Zhang Lexuan survived. How dare you, Elder Xuan, not take it to heart and come to my place to buy wine?
Zhang Lexuan just can't beat you! If she could, she'd absolutely want to kill you!
Elder Xuan laughed heartily and said, "That's right, that's right! Don't you even know who brought this girl out? Not to mention she has that 100,000-year soul ring, there's absolutely no way there could be any problems!"
Huang Ji smiled and flattered, "This is all thanks to Elder Xuan! Without Elder Xuan, this precious gem of our inner courtyard might have been lost. Elder Xuan deserves all the credit!"
Old Master Xuan's expression froze, then he immediately glared and cursed, "How could you say that? It was all my negligence! Otherwise, how could that girl Le Xuan have survived on her own! I was wrong! Huang Ji, you brat, all you do is flatter this old man, how could you utter such nonsense!"
Huang Ji quickly apologized, "Yes, yes, yes! It was my fault for being inconsiderate! Please don't hold it against someone as ignorant as me!"
You know this all along, yet you still have the nerve to let someone else's child stand up for you outside? You just pretend to be all high and mighty!
Master Xuan glanced at the clock on the wall; half an hour had passed!
His face darkened, and he glared at Huang Ji, stretching out his hand and cursing, "You brat! See if you dare do it again? Give me the gourd!"
Huang Ji looked at the wine gourd, scratched his head, and said, "Elder Xuan, this gourd isn't full yet."
"Tsk!"
Old Master Xuan pulled out a toothpick from somewhere, picked his teeth, and said impatiently, "Just give it to me! It's not full, so forget it!"
Having said all that, Huang Ji naturally obediently put the gourd back on and handed it back to Elder Xuan.
Elder Xuan held the gourd in his hand, tossed it around, frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction, "That's fine as it is!"
Having said that, Elder Xuan picked up his gourd and, in the blink of an eye, hurried away, leaving the inner courtyard dining hall.
Huang Ji shrugged, glancing at the vanished Elder Xuan, and muttered, "With your skills, unless Heaven is blind, something unexpected is bound to happen this time!"
The inner perimeter of the core area of the Starry Sky Forest.
Zhang Lexuan and Huo Yuhao moved forward slowly under the cover of the simulation.
Huo Yuhao only expanded the simulation range to a size that could encompass the two of them, so the consumption of soul power and mental power was negligible.
Zhang Lexuan initially thought Huo Yuhao's fourth spirit ring would be around ten thousand years old, but Huo Yuhao shook his head, hoping his fourth spirit ring would be at least forty thousand years old.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan was immediately stunned. "You already have the fourth soul ring of a Soul Master, and you're saying you want a 40,000-year soul ring that only Soul Emperors and Soul Saints can absorb?!"
Zhang Lexuan immediately rejected Huo Yuhao's idea. She couldn't bear to see such a promising young talent suffer like this. If things went wrong and he was ruined, it would be a tragedy for Huo Yuhao himself and a misfortune for the academy!
Huo Yuhao countered with a question to Zhang Lexuan: "There are only three conditions for absorbing a spirit ring. First, whether it suits one's martial soul; second, whether one's physical condition can withstand the impact of the spirit ring's power; and third, whether one's mental strength can withstand the backlash from the spirit beast's resentment. So, Sister Lexuan, do you think my mental strength is insufficient or my physical condition is inadequate?"
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao released his mental energy fluctuations without reservation. His incredibly solid and vast mental energy was displayed in front of Zhang Lexuan like a boundless ocean.
In that instant, she seemed to see a sky full of stars and an endless universe.
Before Zhang Lexuan could react, Huo Yuhao extended his arm to her and said earnestly, "Sister Lexuan, take a look at my physical condition yourself. I believe you'll come to the same conclusion as I have."
Zhang Lexuan, still somewhat stunned, only came to her senses after hearing Huo Yuhao's words. Meeting Huo Yuhao's gaze, she knew that this young man was not indulging in wishful thinking or joking about his future.
She took Huo Yuhao's arm, her jade-like hand grasping his wrist. Her spiritual power and soul power instantly merged, and a silvery-white light swept across Huo Yuhao's entire body from his right hand.
