Chapter 1817: Wine Emperor?

"So Fellow Daoist is Han Li who advanced a few years ago. It's truly disrespectful! It's a pity that Fellow Daoist refused the invitation of the Saint City back then, otherwise, I could have had a few drinks with Fellow Daoist earlier." The Heavenly Yuan Saint Emperor looked Han Li up and down a few times and said with a smile.

"The Saint Emperor's words are true. I heard that Fellow Daoist Han only spent a few hundred years to advance from a Spirit Severing cultivator to the current realm. Such terrifying speed cannot be said to be unprecedented, but it is enough to make us ashamed." The white, fat monk also grinned at Han Li, clearly very interested in Han Li.

"This Master praises me too much. My aptitude is ordinary. If it weren't for a few opportunities in the wild world, how could I have advanced so quickly." Han Li expressed exceptional modesty.

"Tianchan Master, whatever you have to say, let's toast Fellow Daoist Han with spiritual wine first. I have no other hobbies, just that I love this cup of wine in my daily life. If it weren't for the fact that the Saint Emperor title is passed down through generations, I would have liked to sit as the 'Wine Emperor'. Tsk tsk, this Emperor of Wine is more to my heart." The white-robed scholar chuckled, raised his hand to grab the jade table, and a green, moist jade cup and a coral-like red wine pot were taken into his hands.

Then this Heavenly Yuan Saint Emperor shook his wrist and poured a cup of thick spiritual wine. It was transparent with a faint yellow color, like amber, and he personally handed it to Han Li.

Han Li didn't dare to be

Han Li moved his arm and slowly drank the contents of the cup in one gulp.

"Truly good wine. Among the spiritual wines Han knows of, it should be enough to rank in the top three." After Han Li finished drinking, a layer of yellow spiritual light flashed across his face, and he said with some emotion.

"Top three? In that case, Fellow Daoist Han knows of spiritual wines even better than this 'Tiger Soul Spiritual Wine'!" The Tianyuan Saint Emperor was startled at first upon hearing this, then asked with great joy.

Han Li smiled slightly, and just as he was about to reply, the old man named Huang Dang said with a light laugh:

"Saint Emperor, let us sit down, drink, and talk to our heart's content. Making Brother Han stand and talk like this is somewhat impolite."

"That is true. It is just that this Emperor was too happy to see Fellow Daoist Han. Our human race has not produced a Body Integration cultivator for nearly a thousand years." The Tianyuan Saint Emperor patted his head, hurriedly invited Han Li to take a seat, and returned to his own main seat.

From their contact until now, this Tianyuan Saint Emperor had left a truly good impression on Han Li.

Although he held the title of Saint Emperor, he seemed exceptionally forthright and did not carry any of the pedantry of a Confucian.

However, people of their cultivation realm naturally could not judge the other party based on just a short impression.

Han Li immediately offered a humble remark and sat down opposite the Tianyuan Saint Emperor.

"Fellow Daoist Han, now you can tell us which spiritual wines are better than this Emperor's Tiger Soul Wine. Have you tasted them all yourself?" This Tianyuan Saint Emperor seemed to be a true wine enthusiast; as soon as Han Li sat down, he asked impatiently.

"The Saint Emperor's Tiger Soul Spiritual Wine is already a rare and precious spiritual wine in the Spirit Realm. However, I once had the good fortune to taste a kind of 'Nine Fragrance Spiritual Wine' at a certain alien race's place in the wilderness. In terms of both the aroma and the magical effects, it is not inferior to the Tiger Soul Spiritual Wine." Han Li thought for a moment and replied carefully.

"An alien race's spiritual wine? Nine Fragrance Spiritual Wine! Fellow Daoist, did you bring back a pot or two of this spiritual wine?" The Tianyuan Saint Emperor asked with some anticipation.

The Tianchan Monk and Huang Dang also looked at Han Li with great interest.

"That Nine Fragrance Spiritual Wine is also a secret wine brewed by a Body Integration stage existence among the alien race. Han had not yet advanced to the current realm at that time, so how could I have the qualifications to ask for it? Being able to drink a cup by good fortune is already considered a stroke of fate." Han Li replied with a bitter smile.

"That is true. My Tiger Soul Spiritual Wine is also something I treasure and do not easily bring out to treat guests." The Tianyuan Saint Emperor revealed his disappointment without concealment and sighed greatly.

"Hehe, the Saint Emperor need not be overly regretful. Although I do not have the Nine Fragrance Spiritual Wine in my hands, in a while, I might obtain another kind of wine, and at that time, I will naturally invite the Saint Emperor to taste it." Han Li suddenly revealed a mysterious smile and said.

"Oh, what kind of spiritual wine? Could it be even better than the Saint Emperor's Tiger Soul Wine and that Nine Fragrance Wine?" Before the Tianyuan Saint Emperor could answer, the withered old man could not help but ask.

Apparently, this person was also someone who was very fond of the cup.

This was not surprising; cultivators sit in meditation and cultivate all year round and do not care much for ordinary worldly goods. Most male cultivators, besides spiritual tea, mostly drink some spiritual wine.

"When I was traveling in the wilderness, I had the good fortune to obtain some Red Luo Spiritual Fruits used to brew Red Luo Immortal Wine. Although some auxiliary materials are not yet complete, as long as I spend some time, it should not be a problem." Han Li said to the few with a smile.

"Red Luo Immortal Wine! Is it that kind of immortal wine that is said to only exist in the True Immortal Realm!" After hearing Han Li's words, the Tianyuan Saint Emperor was stunned, then his face was filled with shock.

As for the old man and the monk, they had clearly heard of this immortal realm spiritual wine, and their gazes toward Han Li became somewhat fixed.

This was immortal realm spiritual wine. How could it be brewed in the Spirit Realm!

"Fellow Daoist Han, are you joking? That Red Luo Fruit is something that only exists in the Immortal Realm; how could you obtain it? And it is said that if the Red Luo Fruit is cultivated to the age where it can be used to brew spiritual wine, it takes tens of thousands of years, and it is not easy to cultivate even in the True Immortal Realm. Fellow Daoist Han, you haven't mistaken it, have you?" The Tianchan Monk asked in shock.

"These few spiritual fruits that can be used to directly brew Red Luo Immortal Wine were discovered by chance when I was traveling in the wilderness. As for why they appeared there, only Heaven knows. But they are indeed Red Luo Fruits; on this point, Han has some confidence." Han Li said quite confidently.

"Good, good. If Fellow Daoist can truly brew Red Luo Immortal Wine, regardless of others, you must leave two or three pots for this Emperor. By the way, what materials are missing to brew this wine? This Emperor will not taste your immortal wine for free; the three of us will help you gather them." The Tianyuan Saint Emperor said excitedly after saying two "good" words, unable to wait any longer.

"The Saint Emperor is generous with others' property. You clearly want to taste this immortal realm fine wine, yet you make the two of us help gather the materials." The monk revealed a bitter expression.

"Haha, you monk are not very honest. This Emperor does not believe that if that Red Luo Immortal Wine is truly brewed, you will not come to taste a cup. This kind of fine wine flowing from the Immortal Realm, if one can truly taste it, can be considered a great stroke of fortune." The Tianyuan Saint Emperor replied with a smile.

"That is also true. Although the monk does not usually covet the cup, this immortal realm spiritual wine is naturally a different matter; I must drink a cup." The monk thought for a moment and replied with extreme honesty.

The withered old man smiled and said nothing on the side.

"If the three Fellow Daoists are willing to help, then I can use some secret techniques, and it is very likely that I can brew this wine during the Myriad Treasures Assembly." Han Li's heart moved upon hearing this and he said.

"That would naturally be even better. I imagine this wine will be enough to cause a sensation at the assembly. Hehe, as far as I know, that fellow Ba Huang's love for fine wine is no less than this Emperor's. And several of the Seven Demon Kings also have quite an addiction to wine. Fellow Daoist, take out the list of required materials. For this grand assembly, this Emperor has brought quite a few things from the Saint Emperor's treasury." The Tianyuan Saint Emperor was quite straightforward and reached out to ask Han Li for a jade slip.

Han Li did not stand on ceremony, flipped his hand, took out a blank jade slip, placed it in his palm with spiritual light flashing, and imprinted some things into it, immediately throwing it toward the opposite side.

The Tianyuan Saint Emperor grabbed it with one hand, took it into his hand, swept it with his spiritual sense, nodded, put it away, and said to Han Li:

"In two or three days, I should be able to gather the things for Fellow Daoist. Will Brother Han come to pick them up yourself, or shall I send someone to deliver them?"

"There is no need to send them. I have not yet determined where I will stay, so let us do this. Three days later, I will run over to your place again." Han Li thought for a moment and replied.

"That is also fine. I heard that the Lihuo Flood Dragon King and the Black Phoenix Demon King have already arrived at Nine Immortals Mountain first. At that time, this Emperor will also introduce them to Brother Han." The Tianyuan Saint Emperor agreed fully.

"Black Phoenix King!" Han Li's expression moved slightly upon hearing this name.

"Why, does Brother Han know Fellow Daoist Black Phoenix!" The Tianyuan Saint Emperor was somewhat surprised.

"Han does not know the Black Phoenix King. I have only had some dealings with the Black Phoenix clan before." Han Li shook his head and said lightly.

"The Seven Demon Kings of the demon race are at least mid-stage Body Integration or higher, and most of them have strong physical bodies and possess some innate divine abilities. Even if Brother Han does not intend to befriend them, it is best not to offend them easily. Otherwise, you will truly have big trouble." Whether the Tianyuan Saint Emperor believed Han Li's words just now or not, he warned him quite sincerely.

"Many thanks to the Saint Emperor for the guidance. How could Han provoke the Seven Demon Kings for no reason? Han still wants to be carefree for a few more years!" Han Li said with a smile.

"That is for the best. By the way, Fellow Daoist Han, although you must have had a great opportunity in the wilderness to advance so quickly, you must also have unique insights into cultivation techniques and mental states, especially after just breaking through the Body Integration stage bottleneck; you must have gained a lot in your state of mind!" The Tianyuan Saint Emperor changed the subject and suddenly started discussing cultivation matters with Han Li.

"I have just entered Body Integration, and my insights are still somewhat shallow; I was just about to ask the three Fellow Daoists for advice." Han Li naturally would not refuse such a good thing and replied with a solemn expression.
