Chapter 391: Swordsmanship in Exchange for a Glass of Wine
Zhang Yan has not been idle these days. Since the last incident, all the disciples have dared to come to Zhang Yan’s door to make trouble. Even those who have had issues with Zhang Yan, no matter how big their backgrounds are, still dare not make trouble at Zhang Yan’s door. There was trouble in front of Zhang Yan's door, because this is Thunder College, and their backgrounds are useless here, so if they want to regain their place, they can only compete with Zhang Yan's physical strength, and Zhang Yan's strength is there. Almost no one in Thunder Academy dares to say that they can beat Zhang Yan. The only ones who don't know whether they can beat Zhang Yan are the top four in the academy rankings.
It's just that these four disciples are all very powerful disciples, and these people are also dedicated to practicing. They have no problems with Zhang Yan and will not come to Zhang Yan for trouble. Therefore, Zhang Yan is living very comfortably these days. , has been stabilizing his own cultivation. After all, Zhang Yan has just made a breakthrough, and his realm is still a little unstable. Zhang Yan has not acted too hastily, and has been working hard to stabilize his cultivation.
On this day, Zhang Yan felt that his cultivation level had been stabilized, and it was impossible to continue to make breakthroughs now, so Zhang Yan had to stop practicing his spiritual power. The top priority now is to strengthen In terms of physical skills, Zhang Yan has the Eight Gate Dunjia that the Emperor of Humanity used back then. Zhang Yan was unable to comprehend this very advanced physical skills for a while. Even now Zhang Yan can only After opening one of the gates, there was no way to open the other three gates, but Zhang Yan was not too anxious. After all, these eight gates of Dunjia were heaven-defying physical skills, and his current level of cultivation was simply not enough.
And now if he wants to strengthen his cultivation, Zhang Yan can only improve his martial arts. According to what Lu Sheng said, Zhang Yan's body skills are already very superb. The only thing he lacks is his martial arts against enemies. Although Qing Yan Yuan Jian Jue is also a very powerful sword technique, which is enough for the current Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan is not merciless in dealing with some enemies. This Qing Yuan Sword Technique is also a very powerful sword technique, but once encountered For those warriors who have relatively high strength and talent, and also have very strong backgrounds, Zhang Yan's Qingyuan Sword Art seems to be a bit stretched.
Just like Ling Feng and Mo Yu, their martial arts are all emperor-level martial arts, which are much higher than Zhang Yan's heaven-level Qingyuan Sword Art. If we only talk about martial arts, Zhang Yan's Qingyuan Sword Art is much higher. There is no way to compare with them. Although Zhang Yan is very strong, even using the Qingyuan Sword Art, he can defeat those warriors who use emperor-level martial arts. But since Thunder Academy has high-level swordsmanship, why doesn't Zhang Yan take advantage of it? Since you have time and opportunity, why not study more?
Zhang Yan thought of this and walked towards the Martial Arts Pavilion of Thunder Academy. Whether the disciples he met along the way were seniors or first-year students, these disciples seemed to be afraid of Zhang Yan, and they all walked around Zhang Yan. No disciple dared to look at Zhang Yan, and no one dared to block Zhang Yan's way. They gave way to Zhang Yan even when they were far away.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yan couldn't help but touch his nose and said, "Am I so scary? Why do these people look like I'm a monster? They're afraid to avoid me."
But that's fine. In this case, Zhang Yan will be at peace. No one will disturb Zhang Yan anymore, and Zhang Yan will just walk towards the martial arts pavilion of Thunder Academy.
The Martial Arts Pavilion of Thunder Academy is located halfway up the mountainside of Thunder Academy, with its back against a cliff and a flat grassland in front of it, on which the Martial Arts Pavilion is located.
Zhang Yan came to the door of the Martial Arts Pavilion and saw a drunken old man at the door. The old man was lying on a Taishi chair, holding a wine pot that seemed to be made of jade. His whole body exuded the smell of alcohol. Zhang Yan Before he walked in front of him, he could smell the alcohol on his body from a distance. However, the smell of alcohol was not unpleasant, but rather, some aroma of alcohol wafted over. The smell made people feel relaxed and happy. Zhang Yan He was also very surprised, because he seemed to have smelled this aroma of wine somewhere. It was very similar to the aroma of the Wangchuan wine he drank on Huangquan Road, but it was far away, and Zhang Yan was not sure.
Looking at the old man lying on the Taishi chair with his eyes closed, he looked very leisurely while drinking the wine in his hand while rocking the Taishi chair.
Zhang Yan knows this old man. This old man is a very famous elder in Thunder College. His qualifications are very high. It is said that the dean is not as old as him, and this old man does not go anywhere else. He just lies in this scenery all day long. It is a very beautiful place, overlooking the scenery on the other side of the cliff, and drinking the wine in his hand. Since he never leaves his hand with wine, and every disciple can smell the smell of wine on his body when he passes by, over time everyone becomes familiar with it. They all called him Elder Jiu, and he happily accepted it. In the end, his disciples didn't even remember his name, they only remembered that he was called Elder Jiu.
Over time, Elder Jiu has become a strange person in Thunder College. Many disciples are very curious about his identity, but no one knows what is going on with Elder Jiu. They only know that he has not appeared in any place in Thunder College. He has been there all day long. Just stay here and guard the Martial Arts Pavilion dutifully.
Zhang Yan came to Elder Jiu and said very respectfully: "Disciple Zhang Yan has met Elder Jiu."
When the elder Jiu heard this, his swaying Taishi chair also stopped. He opened his drunken eyes and glanced at Zhang Yan. His eyes looked a little cloudy. Then he closed his eyes again and said lightly: "So you are Zhang Yan. , I have heard about you. You have been making a splash in Thunder College recently. Not only did you become the number one newcomer this time, but you also defeated many senior disciples. They all rumored that you are already among the top five disciples in Thunder College. , a disciple who has just entered school for about two months can reach this level. This is the first time I have encountered you in so many years."
"It seems that your talent is not simple. If you work hard, you may become the pillar of our Thunder College in the future," the wine elder said, taking a sip of wine from the wine bottle in his hand.
When he opened the jug in front of Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan was sure this time that the wine the wine elder drank was Wangchuan wine. Zhang Yan was very shocked when he saw this and couldn't help blurting out: "Wangchuan wine!"
When the wine elder heard this, his eyes lit up. He put down the wine bottle at his mouth and put it back. The wine elder was even more shocked than Zhang Yan. He asked very unexpectedly: "Do you know the wine in my hand?"
"Of course, isn't the wine in your hand Wangchuan wine?" Zhang Yan nodded and said firmly.
After all, Zhang Yan had personally drank the Wangchuan wine. Not only that, Zhang Yan's ring also contained the Wangchuan wine that Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi had given him before he left. However, Zhang Yan never drank it and kept it.
Zhang Yan knows very well about Wangchuan Wine.
But the wine elder shook his head and praised: "I didn't expect you to have such knowledge at such a young age. You know, I have been drinking here for many years. No one knows what the wine in my pot is. To think that you could see through it at a glance, it seems that you are really not that simple."
When Zhang Yan heard this, he smiled and said: "No, no, Elder Jiu, you are the real master of the world. After all, this Wangchuan wine is very precious. Even the Ghost Emperor on Huangquan Road regards it as a treasure. But you, old man, can keep drinking like this. It seems that you are more powerful than the Ghost Emperor."
"Do you still know about the Underworld Road? Do you still know about the Ghost Emperor?" Elder Jiu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked in surprise.
Zhang Yanxin said that not only did I know, I had also been to Huangquan Road, and the Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi was my good brother. However, it was impossible for Zhang Yan to say this, and even if he said it, no one would believe it. Zhang Yan just said lightly : "I just heard about it. After all, who wouldn't know about a place like Huangquan Road?"
The wine elder didn't say much when he heard this. He just thought in his heart that Zhang Yan is not a simple boy, because of course there are many people who know Huangquan Road and Ghost Emperor, but there are very few people who know Wangchuan Wine, and they can rely on smell alone. This is the first time I have ever encountered someone who smelled Wangchuan wine.
But since Zhang Yan didn't want to say it, the wine elder didn't ask, and just said with a smile: "The Ghost Emperor's Wangchuan wine is the best Wangchuan wine. It has been aged for many years. That kind of top-quality Wangchuan wine is not something we can make." Those who shout, I am afraid that only the Ghost Emperor in this world can shout."
"What do you have in your hands, elder?" Zhang Yan asked with some confusion.
"What I have in my hand is just the lowest-grade Forgotten Wine. It just has a little taste of Forgotten Wine, but it doesn't have the mesmerizing effect of Forgotten Wine at all. But if I can take a sip of the best Forgotten Wine in this life, I will It can be considered a death without any regrets," Elder Jiu said with emotion, "It's just that it's really difficult to realize this wish."
When Zhang Yan saw that this wine elder really loved wine, and he happened to have Wangchuan wine in his hand, as the saying goes, swords are given to heroes, of course this good wine should also be given to the real wine lover Dong Jiu, Zhang Yan Thinking of this, he suddenly took out a palm-sized jade pot from his hand. This wine pot looked small, but there was something inside it. It contained a lot of Wangchuan wine. This was also a gift from Zhou Qi before he left. What was given to Zhang Yan was also Zhou Qi’s private possession.
When Zhang Yan took out his wine pot, he looked at the wine elder and said, "Jiu Elder, I have a good wine here. Do you want to try it?"
"Oh? Do you have good wine in your hand? Bring it over and let me have a taste." The wine elder immediately became excited when he heard the wine. He looked extremely excited, and his eyes were staring straight at the wine in Zhang Yan's hand. Jug, reach out to take the jug in Zhang Yan's hand.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yan withdrew his hand and did not let Elder Jiu get the jug, and said with a smile: "Elder Jiu, it's not that I'm stingy, disciple. It's just that this wine is very precious, and I only have this much. I I can only give you one bowl, so you better bring it out and I’ll pour it for you.”
The wine elder was obviously unhappy when he heard this. He snorted and said: "You are so stingy. I don't know what your wine is but you still only give me a bowl. If I drink it and it's not a good wine, see how I deal with you." ”
Zhang Yan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I guarantee you have never drunk this wine before, and it is the best wine. I guarantee you will want to drink it after drinking it."
"Really? Then why don't you pour it for me quickly?" the wine elder said impatiently after hearing this.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but smile when he saw an extra bowl in Elder Jiu's hand. He didn't say anything and just opened the lid of the spout.
The moment Zhang Yan opened the cover, a strong aroma of wine floated out. This aroma was very intoxicating. The smell made people feel relaxed and happy, and they seemed to be drunk before they drank it. When the wine elder asked about the aroma of this wine, he was stunned, because the aroma of this wine was exactly the same as the Wangchuan wine he drank, but the aroma of the wine in Zhang Yan's hand was stronger and more pure, and it smelled more mellow.
The wine elder's eyes widened, and he stared excitedly at the wine bottle in Zhang Yan's hand, as if he was about to snatch Zhang Yan's wine bottle away at any time, but he still restrained his impulse and was greedy. Staring at the wine bottle in Zhang Yan's hand, the hand holding the bowl trembled with excitement.
The wine elder forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath and said urgently: "Hurry up, pour me some wine quickly."
Zhang Yan couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw this, but in the end he suppressed his laughter. Instead, he gently and carefully poured the wine for the wine elder. However, while Zhang Yan was pouring the wine, the wine elder shouted: "Slow down, slow down, be careful." Don't jump out, it would be a huge waste if even a drop of such good wine spills out."
Zhang Yan didn't say anything but poured half a bowl of wine into Elder Jiu's bowl. Elder Jiu was still staring at the bowl in his hand and said, "It's full, it's full!"
"It will spill when it's full," Zhang Yan said with a smile as he took back the jug.
When the wine elder saw Zhang Yan taking the wine bottle back, he couldn't help but sigh with disappointment. Then he couldn't wait to pick up the wine bowl in his hand. He first held it to his mouth and smelled it vigorously with his nose, and praised. : “It’s such a good wine, it smells so good.”
After that, he picked up the wine bowl and raised his head and drank all the wine in one gulp. After drinking the Wangchuan wine, the wine elder seemed to be in a state of ecstasy. He lay on the Taishi chair with an intoxicated look on his face. It took a long time for Elder Jiu to calm down from his satisfied expression.
As soon as he recovered, the wine elder praised loudly: "Good wine, really good wine! It is indeed the best Wangchuan wine."
Elder Jiu looked at Zhang Yan with great gratitude and said, "Thank you so much, little doll. You have fulfilled my biggest wish in my life. I really don't know how to thank you."
Elder Jiu thought for a moment as he spoke, then looked at Zhang Yan and said, "Let's do this. You can tell which of the martial arts in the martial arts pavilion you like best. I will give it to you for free."
