Chapter 270

"Tip from a small source — in a Land God temple not far from Lian'ou Village in Shancheng, there's a thousand-year ginseng that has absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and evolved into a Phantom Beast Spirit Ginseng Lad. Acquisition difficulty is easy. Head there now?"

"A Wine Bug?"

He checked the compendium.

Chen Xuan discovered that this was actually an extremely rare Phantom Beast.

It was a strange Phantom Beast that specialized in absorbing alcohol and then producing even finer fine wines.

With it, one could brew all kinds of fine wines with various effects.

"Thousand Phantom Civet, keep an eye on the dojo!"

After ordering the Thousand Phantom Civet to transform into his likeness,

Chen Xuan stepped out the door.

He urged his flying dragon to speed toward the location the system indicated.

Not long after!

Chen Xuan landed in a forest thick with peach blossoms everywhere.

Inside!

The scent of peach blossoms.

And a rich aroma of wine drifted over.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

A Lightning Purple Marten caught the scent of wine.

It showed an excited expression.

And charged toward the wine pool in the peach blossom forest.

But the next moment!

After it stepped into the peach blossom forest,

its body began to sway unsteadily.

As if it were drunk.

Very quickly!

It fell into a deep sleep on the ground. Looking closely!

The entire vast peach blossom forest

stretched beyond sight.

But at the edges!

Many Phantom Beasts revealed greedy gazes, looking toward the wine pool at the center.

Clearly!

They too feared the peach blossom scent inside the forest. Those fragrances could send their bodies into slumber.

Plunging them into danger. "So that's how it is!"

"The scent of this peach blossom forest is actually a natural protective line guarding the wine pool!" "Even Platinum-tier Phantom Beasts that enter can't move!" Seeing those Phantom Beasts slumbering around the peach blossom forest!

Chen Xuan had a sudden revelation.

Looking closely!

On the outside of those Phantom Beasts' bodies, a layer of pink radiance swirled.

Clearly!

That was the problem. "Acquisition difficulty: Hard!" "No wonder!" Chen Xuan laughed. The next moment!

He stepped into the peach blossom forest with his Phantom Beast.

Strange music filled the entire peach blossom forest.

Around Chen Xuan and his Phantom Beast's bodies, a layer of musical notes enveloped them.

Preventing those pink radiance from drawing near.

At the same time!

Waves of white light shrouded the area within five meters around Chen Xuan. The buffs from the Melody Dragon and the Holy Light Purge effect of the Holy Light Dragon.

Allowed Chen Xuan!

To walk through the forest with ease.

At this sight!

The other Phantom Beasts saw it.

They thought the peach blossom forest was no longer dangerous.

And excitedly charged into the peach blossom forest one after another.

The fine wine from the wine pool inside deeply attracted them.

The next moment!

Thud thud thud!

Those that had stepped into the peach blossom forest

horrifiedly discovered their heads growing dizzy and heavy.

They could only dimly see a human in the distance, slowly walking toward the wine pool with his Phantom Beast.

This made the other Phantom Beasts charging halfway stop their steps in time.

Scratching their ears and cheeks, they watched Chen Xuan with greedy yet envious faces.

"So this is the Wine Bug?"

Grade: Gold Tier 1. Bloodline Rarity: King-tier. Type: Legendary / Snake-Insect / Food Production. Evolution Count: 3. Innate Skills: Fine Wine Devouring, Fine Wine Brewing. Description: An extremely peculiar Phantom Beast with no combat ability, it loves fine wine and can only be born near natural wine pools in Shenshan. It is the embodiment of fine wine by nature. By devouring fine wine it can continuously level up and evolve. The fine wine it brews a second time is a delicacy of the human world, with the effect of raising a Beast-Tamer's grade as well as the Beast-Master's Beast Power. It is an extremely rare Phantom Beast.

Just look!

Inside a fist-sized spore.

A chubby little fellow that looked like a bee chrysalis peeked out with two grey, darting eyes, looking all around.

Its body was crystalline and translucent, a milky white, as if carved from a piece of pristine jade.

It broke out of its shell from inside the spore.

The little fellow showed an excited expression and charged toward the wine pool in the middle, which emanated an incomparably rich fragrance.

That wine pool was crystal clear, the fragrance of fine wine piercing straight to the heart.

No wonder so many phantom beasts wanted to rush in.

And at this very moment!

That wine worm was just about to leap into the wine pool and have a proper bath.

Right at this moment!

A burst of light enveloped its body.

The wine worm gave a start.

But that controlling force carried an overwhelming majesty, leaving it unable to resist.

The next instant!

Light flashed!

The wine worm had already been completely subdued by Chen Xuan.

It had become Chen Xuan's phantom beast.

"What a pity I didn't bring a vessel — this wine is going a bit to waste!" Chen Xuan scooped up a mouthful.

The fragrance of that fine wine pierced straight to the heart.

It instantly made every cell in Chen Xuan's body feel refreshed and comfortable.

His controlling force faintly showed signs of growth.

This was the finest wine Chen Xuan had ever drunk.

Obviously!

All the fine wine in this wine pool had been brewed by that wine worm.

It had already undergone three evolutions.

It had grown up here.

"Note down this location — next time I come, I can bring some wine back!" He marked the spot.

Chen Xuan steered the Holy Dragon and left this place.

And beside the wine pool.
