Chapter 224

"Huh! You know wine, too?" Elder Hu Yan let out a slight snort, and gave Han Li a slightly surprised look.

"I don't dare to say I understand wine, I just know a thing or two." Han Li laughed.

He didn't know much about alcohol, that is, when he was crossing the thunderstorm ocean, he was often drunk with Sun Ke. Sun Ke knew a lot about all kinds of alcohol, and he learned a little bit through his ears and eyes.

And the old man just poured the wine for himself, and it happened that Sun Ke also invited him to drink it.

It's just that when I drank it back then, I didn't feel as much as I do today.

"Okay, okay, I thought you were quite pleasing to my eyes at first, but I didn't expect that you are also a fellow, that would be great. Come, come, let me have a good drink with this old man." Elder Hu Yan was overjoyed, got up and returned to the house.

When he came out again, he was holding seven or eight jugs and wine utensils of different styles in both hands, and placed them on the table one by one like a few treasures.

There are various kinds of jugs for wine, but the wine glasses have their own characteristics.

Copper cups, jade cups, wooden cups, stone cups, gold cups, etc., each wine cup is engraved with some weird patterns, without ordinary decorations, like runes.

Han Li glanced over and found that each of these jugs and wine utensils was a magic weapon. As for the effect, it is unknown.

"Elder Huyan took out so many different cups, does it mean that each kind of wine needs to be paired with special drinking utensils?" Han Li looked at the dazzling array of fine wine glasses, and he also became a little interested in his heart, and said with a smile.

"That's natural. The so-called good horse with good saddle, the way of drinking is the same! There is only good wine, but no corresponding wine utensils, even the best wine will lose three points of taste. It must be matched with a jade cup made of sky-green jadeite, and for example, this altar of red mulberry wine is famous for its fragrance, so it must be drunk in a ten-year ivy cup to add to the fragrance of the wine..." Elder Hu Yan was beaming with joy, talking about what kind of wine to pair with What drinking utensils.

Han Li nodded, and picked up the red mulberry wine. He and Sun Ke drank this wine on the giant boat across the sea.

After taking a sip, his eyes lit up.

The red mulberry wine that he drank with Sun Ke that day was his personal treasure.

Han Li took another sip, savored it carefully, and soon discovered the clue.

There was a faint scent of ancient vines in the ivy cup, entangled with the smell of the wine, which greatly increased the smell of the wine.

"This red mulberry fairy wine is brewed from thousand-year-old red mulberry fruit. This fruit is a fire-attribute spiritual material. The green ivy cup also contains wood gas. Fire is made with wood, and the wine's color is greatly enhanced!" He showed admiration.

Although Elder Hu Yan said the truth earlier, he was still doubtful in his heart, and only now was he convinced that what he said was true.

"That's right, that's right. The kid has eyesight. Let's try this jug of Liuguang Immortal Wine again." Elder Hu Yan's eyes flashed with admiration, he picked up a white wine jug, and poured another glass of amber, radiant wine.

In the following time, Han Li tasted several fine wines one after another, and they were indeed rare fine wines.

Although he only knew a little bit about wine, he was still an excellent listener. His open-minded and eager to learn attitude caused Master Huyan to nod his head again and again, and his eyes became more appreciative.

These wines are not ordinary water wines, they can all be regarded as fairy wines, which are of great benefit to cultivation, but after all, Han Li is only in the early stage of the True Immortal Realm. It takes a little time to completely refine it.

After he pondered for a moment, he immediately stopped drinking.

Elder Hu Yan, however, drank one cup after another, enjoying himself. Obviously, his cultivation was much higher than Han Li's.

"Elder Hu Yan, can you rest for a while, I still have something to report here." Han Li waited for a while, seeing that the other party did not stop at all, he couldn't help persuading him.

"You kid is such a disappointment, well, let the fart go." Elder Hu Yan glanced at Han Li, snorted, and sat up.

Han Li smiled apologetically, took out a storage artifact, and handed it over.

"The Huoyuan crystals mined by Huoyunling in the past ten years are all inside."

Elder Hu Yan took it, swept it with his spiritual sense, then threw it aside, flipped his hands over to take out the blue jade book, and began to draw on it.

"Elder Huyan, the sect seems to attach great importance to this fire crystal. I don't know what it can be used for? I think that although it contains pure firepower, its texture is fragile, which is quite different from ordinary fire-attributed ores. Somewhat similar to spirit stones." Han Li glanced at the magic storage artifact and asked seemingly casually.

"It's just a kind of fuel for refining the immortal essence stone." Elder Hu Yan replied without raising his head.

Han Li was startled when he heard the words, and then a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and he asked, "Is this fire crystal needed to refine the immortal stone?"

Elder Hu Yan looked up at him, and said strangely, "Don't you know the Nine-Turn Immortal Formation?"

"Nine-turn Immortal Origin Formation?" Han Li looked bewildered.

He really didn't know the name.

"Oh, you should have just joined the sect, where did you come from?" Elder Hu Yan looked Han Li up and down and asked.

"Elder Huiyan, Li just joined the sect less than a hundred years ago, and was born in a remote island in the barren sea continent." Han Li turned his mind slightly and said in his mouth.

"No wonder, the barren sea continent is very remote, and few people really know about it. As for the Nine-Turn Immortal Yuan Formation, it is a well-known Yuan Gathering Formation in the Northern Cold Immortal Territory. The spiritual power of a hundred top-grade spirit stones condenses into one, turning into a single immortal essence stone." Elder Hu Yan then continued.

"So that's the reason. No wonder immortal essence stones are so rare in the Huanglan Continent, but they seem to be a lot more here in Zongmen." Han Li took a deep breath and murmured.

"That's natural. I, Zhulong Dao, can't be compared with a place like Huanglan Continent." Elder Hu Yan said proudly.

While speaking, he flipped his hand and put away the jade book, took the token of Elder Han Li, and with a little finger, the merit points in it immediately increased by 180 points.

"Thank you, Elder Huyan! Please spend a little more time, Elder, first assign the next task to me, and then it will not be too late to savor these fine wines." Han Li took the token and cupped his hands again.

"It's rare for you to be lazy for a while, but you're a long-winded brat."

Elder Hu Yan glared at Han Li, took out the task book, quickly flipped through a few pages, stopped, looked up at Han Li again, and said:

"You are so anxious to do three tasks in a row because you want to finish them quickly so that you can go back to practice, right? That being the case, this task is just right for you. The time is not long, and it only takes a few months before and after, which is enough."

"What is the mission?" Han Li was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Inner disciples of our sect want to be promoted to true disciples, they have to pass a trial, and your task is also very simple, that is to secretly escort some inner disciples of our sect to participate in the true disciple trial." Elder Hu Yan explained.

"Secret escort?" Han Li was taken aback.

"That's right. Those inner disciples have to rely on their own strength to pass the trial. Under normal circumstances, they don't have to help. However, there are many unexpected places for trials, so they will send one or two true immortal elders to follow secretly." Hu Yan said the elder.

"I see. I understand. When will this mission start?" Han Li asked with a nod.

"It's really a coincidence that the time is just three days later. When you go to Chaoyang Hall, someone there will tell you the details." Elder Hu Yan shook his head and said.

"Okay, thank you, Elder." Han Li was silent for a while, and said with a grateful expression on his face.

Although the drunken old man who was greedy for drinking had a mean mouth, he was still kind to him, and the three tasks he had arranged were not difficult to say.

"You don't need to thank me. If you have free time in the future, just come and have a few drinks with me." Elder Hu Yan waved his hand.

"Definitely." Han Li smiled, then got up to leave.

After leaving the room, he walked outside, passing by the yellow bean plant, he couldn't help but stop again, and took another look.

"Why, you also know Taoist soldiers?" Elder Hu Yan's voice sounded, and this person unexpectedly arrived behind Han Li at some point.

Han Li was taken aback suddenly, being bullied so close, he didn't realize it.

But when he turned around, his face had regained his composure, and he said:

"I just heard it a little bit, it seems that Elder Hu Yan should be proficient in this art of warfare?"

"That's natural. When it comes to Dao soldiers, the old man recognizes the second, and no one in Zhulong Dao dares to recognize the first!" Elder Hu Yan still looked drunk, but his tone was a little more proud.

"I have always been interested in Dao soldiers, but there are very few people who are proficient in this way, and I have nowhere to ask for advice. I don't know if the elders can give me some advice. I will definitely..." Han Li was overjoyed, clasping his hands.

"Want to learn my Daoist art? No, no! I won't teach you this stuff, don't even think about it." Elder Hu Yan interrupted Han Li without waiting for him to finish, shaking his head.

"This... the elder really has no room for negotiation?" Han Li asked with some unwillingness to give up.

Elder Hu Yan was about to refuse straight away, but remembering how the two of them chatted happily just now, he swallowed back the words, and said with great meaning:

"Well...it's not impossible at all. The old man has two hobbies in his life, one is wine, and the other is the art of soldiers. If you can find better immortal wine recipes than those in the old man's hands, it's okay Not negotiable."

He has searched and collected everywhere for countless years, and I am afraid that there are not many people in the entire Northern Cold Immortal Territory who are above him in terms of fine wine.

Looking at Elder Huyan's confident face, Han Li sighed secretly.

Although he didn't know much about the way of wine, he could tell that Elder Huyan was very proficient in it. All the immortal wines just now were peerless wines. Where could he find better immortal wines?

It seemed that Elder Hu Yan really didn't want to teach that martial art.

"Okay, I will definitely look for it with all my heart, and I hope the elder will not regret it when the time comes." Han Li took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Although the chances are slim, he doesn't want to give up. At worst, he will go to the Wuchang League to issue missions and pay a little more. It shouldn't be difficult to think about it.

"Hmph! This old man has always followed his word, so you don't need to use this aggressive method. If you can really find the wine recipe, what's the point in telling you the art of Taoism?" Elder Hu Yan snorted and said.

"That kid will take his leave." Han Li smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said goodbye, turned around and left in a hurry.
