Chapter 585: Gifts
Jun Moxi nodded to Lin Feng, then said, "Miss Tang, those hundred jugs of wine are prepared. How about serving ten jugs first, so I can also taste the Blazing Essence Wine?"
"Alright."
Tang Youyou nodded, tapped the table, and said, "Bring ten more jugs of Blazing Essence Wine."
As her words fell, ten jugs of Blazing Essence Wine were brought up. Tang Youyou gave five jugs to Lin Feng and the other five to Jun Moxi. She felt a slight doubt in her heart, wondering why Jun Moxi was in such high spirits today.
"Blazing Essence Wine, let me savor it too." Jun Moxi smiled, lifted one jug to his face, gestured slightly to Lin Feng, and then drank directly from the jug, just like Lin Feng, finishing the entire jug in one gulp.
"Good wine, and good company." Lin Feng smiled, handed two jugs to Yun Feiyang beside him, and then casually finished another jug in one gulp, letting the flames rage within his body, ignoring everything, seeking only pleasure.
"Since you're both in such a good mood, I naturally have to join in."
Yun Feiyang chuckled, unceremoniously took the wine from Lin Feng, and began to drink as well.
This scene of drinking together filled the ninth floor of the Heavenly Walk Palace with a sense of boldness, the boldness of men.
Only Di Long, standing aside, still had a gloomy face. What was wrong with Tang Youyou and Jun Moxi today, being so congenial with such a waste?
"You'd better not fall down from drinking."
Di Long spat out a series of gloomy words, causing a cold gleam to flash in Lin Feng's fiery eyes as he glanced at Di Long.
"Miss Tang invited everyone here today, not to watch you two fight." Jun Moxi glanced indifferently at Di Long, his calm eyes not even rippling, yet it made Di Long's gaze tremble. He immediately shut his mouth, his face flushing slightly red.
Jun Moxi, the number one youth of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, didn't need to get angry. Even a plain voice carried immense deterrence.
Moreover, although his temperament seemed calm and gentle, the aura he occasionally revealed still made people feel an invisible pressure.
"Today, the people I've invited are the most promising young talents from our three kingdoms. I've prepared some modest wine, hoping to help everyone shine on the stage of the Snow Domain Grand Competition." Tang Youyou also spoke, then said, "Bring the Jade Nectar!"
As her words fell, the compartments on every table moved. On everyone's table, nine jugs of wine appeared, nine bottles of Jade Nectar.
This scene made everyone's gaze freeze. Nine bottles of Jade Nectar, a complete set of Jade Nectar. Was Tang Youyou crazy? Or was the Tang family crazy?
Staring at the Jade Nectar placed on the table, everyone's eyes grew brighter. It seemed the Tang family wanted to use the Jade Nectar to move people and win their hearts.
After all, as Tang Youyou said, those present were the most outstanding genius disciples of the three kingdoms. This set of Jade Nectar, though unable to buy them off, was enough to leave a memory in their hearts. If these people achieved great success in the future, they would remember the Tang family's kindness to some extent.
Lin Feng smiled slightly. The Tang family really knew how to handle people. In terms of his past life, this could be considered an invisible investment.
"Many of you have tasted a single jug of Jade Nectar, but I believe no one has yet enjoyed a full set. On the eve of the expedition, the Tang family is willing to gift each of you nine jugs of Jade Nectar, to help you advance your cultivation."
"I've long heard that taking a full set of Jade Nectar together can help one break through existing shackles and advance in cultivation. I hope I, Cui Wuming, have that fate."
Cui Wuming of the Dark Left waved his hand, and instantly, all nine jugs of Jade Nectar were collected by him. Since these nine jugs of Jade Nectar had the effect of helping one break through cultivation, they naturally wouldn't be consumed here. They couldn't possibly take them all and immediately cultivate here to improve their realms.
A look of anticipation flashed in everyone's eyes. So this was why Tang Youyou called them here—such a benefit. It was too wonderful.
Everyone reached out and collected the Jade Nectar. Even Di Long restrained his anger and stopped causing trouble. The Jade Nectar was enough to shut him up. Cultivation was the most important thing.
As long as his strength was great, dealing with Lin Feng was only a matter of time. When the Snow Domain Grand Competition came, he could do whatever he wanted to Lin Feng, even kill him to avenge today's humiliation.
Lin Feng looked at the nine bottles of Jade Nectar on the table before him, a bitter smile appearing on his fiery red face.
Nine bottles of Jade Nectar were indeed extremely effective, even able to help one break through cultivation. Last time, he had taken nine bottles of Jade Nectar, which allowed his cultivation to break through.
Unfortunately, he had already taken them once. Taking them again wouldn't have the same effect. So these nine bottles of Jade Nectar were of little use to him, while others could enhance their cultivation, widening the gap instead. How could he not smile bitterly?
Of course, obtaining these nine rare bottles of Jade Nectar was ultimately a good thing. Even if he didn't take them, he could give them to his family to help them improve their cultivation realms.
"I've already taken this Jade Nectar long ago. For me, it would be a waste of a heavenly treasure. So, I might as well give it to the little sister. That way, everyone who came here will have gained something."
Jun Moxi waved his sleeve, and the nine bottles of Jade Nectar on the table floated, landing steadily beside Xiao Ya, who was next to Lin Feng, leaving everyone stunned.
Jun Moxi truly did unexpected things. Nine bottles of Jade Nectar, how precious were they? Yet he casually gave them to someone he had just met. Only Jun Moxi had such boldness.
Even Lin Feng was surprised. Why was Jun Moxi so good to him? Not only did he give him a hundred jugs of Blazing Essence Wine, but now he also gave Xiao Ya nine bottles of Jade Nectar.
"Thank you, big brother."
Xiao Ya called out sweetly, a smile appearing in her clear eyes. Then she secretly glanced at Lin Feng, took one of the jugs, put it to her lips, and drank it all in one go, leaving everyone stunned.
Sure enough, she was a simple girl, drinking the Jade Nectar right here.
"Big brother? For that address alone, I'll give you another gift."
Jun Moxi smiled, and with a flash of light, a piece of jade appeared in his hand.
"This little thing is just a keepsake." Jun Moxi waved his hand, and the jade floated onto Xiao Ya's table. He really liked her pure, flawless smile. In today's world, such eyes were too rare.
Xiao Ya took the jade and looked at it. A faint luster flickered on its surface, and the jade itself emitted a slight chill.
"Essence-Storing Jade!"
Someone exclaimed softly. A treasure, a true treasure. Jun Moxi had given Xiao Ya an Essence-Storing Jade.
Such a treasure was something everyone present wanted.
Essence-Storing Jade, as its name implied, could store true essence energy. If one's true essence energy was depleted during battle, they could draw on the energy stored within. Its function was similar to a Rejuvenation Pill.
The difference was that a Rejuvenation Pill would be used up, while this Essence-Storing Jade could be used continuously. How much true essence energy it could store depended on the quality of the jade.
"Hehe, I'll take it then."
Xiao Ya said with a smile, strung the jade, and hung it around her neck. It suited her perfectly.
Seeing this, Jun Moxi also smiled and said, "Not bad. This jade now has an owner. I hope it will always stay with you."
After saying this, Jun Moxi casually swept his gaze over the crowd, causing those with ulterior motives to tremble inwardly and immediately swallow their thoughts. Jun Moxi's gaze was clearly a warning: they'd better not covet this jade.
"Brother, how does it look?"
Xiao Ya asked Lin Feng.
Lin Feng rubbed Xiao Ya's head and laughed, "Very nice. It suits you perfectly. But you should also drink the other eight jugs of wine right now."
Lin Feng pointed to the other eight jugs of Jade Nectar on the table.
"Ah..." Xiao Ya opened her mouth, looking a bit stunned. She had only wanted to taste it. Did she have to drink all eight jugs too?
"What 'ah'? Hurry up and drink them all." Lin Feng rolled his eyes at Xiao Ya. These nine jugs of Jade Nectar were best taken together.
"Oh, okay." Xiao Ya nodded timidly, then drank the other eight jugs of Jade Nectar one by one, leaving everyone speechless. Today, Xiao Ya was the luckiest, with the most gains.
PS: Too tired today, three chapters. Will try to make up with four chapters tomorrow.
