Chapter 85: The Terrifying Black Rice Wine Brew (Third Update)

"Looks like I'll have to be a bit more careful with those Shaolin baldies from now on!"

In his heart, he couldn't help but keep a closer watch on Abbot Xuan Ci and the other.

However, seeing that after Yue Buqun's antics, no one was bidding anymore,

Su Mu had no choice but to let it go.

Anyway, he had already gotten thirty thousand taels of gold for free; he'd made a huge profit.

"Wait here a moment!"

After accepting the money, Su Mu said this to the crowd, then turned and headed toward the back kitchen.

After a while, Su Mu walked out holding three small purple cups.

After placing the Black Rice Wine Brew before Ying Zheng, Stark, and Zhu Qizhen, Su Mu turned and left.

In an instant, the entire food shop fell into absolute silence.

Even Yue Buqun, whose anger had not yet subsided, swallowed hard upon seeing those tiny purple wine cups.

"Strange, I can't smell even a trace of fragrance!"

Zhang Sanfeng, sitting beside Ying Zheng, sniffed for a long time but couldn't detect even a hint of the drifting wine aroma, causing his heart to tremble with shock.

The fact that this could happen was enough to prove that the Black Rice Wine Brew inside those cups must be extraordinarily precious.

"Gulp..."

The three who had received the Black Rice Wine Brew now stared at the purple cups before them; the liquid within, resembling a galaxy of agate, made them swallow hard against their will.

"I'll go first!"

The impatient Stark, seeing the other two not moving, directly picked up the cup before him and downed it in one gulp.

As the rice wine entered his mouth, a clear scent of glutinous rice, mixed with the aroma of alcohol, rushed straight into Stark's mind.

Almost instantly, Stark's breathing became rapid.

His body, originally enhanced beyond the mortal realm, now, with the wine entering his mouth, actually began to boil completely.

What, what is going on?

Feeling his body like a furnace inside, Stark was clearly at a loss.

But the next moment, he saw everything go black before his eyes.

Amidst a shifting of stars and constellations, Stark seemed to arrive in the vast universe of the starry sky.

Here, Stark saw upon the boundless, endless starry sky, towering and vast shadowy figures of deities.

With just one glance, Stark felt as if he were about to explode.

"Boom!"

He saw brilliant light, at this very moment, explode within Stark's body.

Inside the body, a large amount of impurities was directly removed.

The special device on his chest was also shattered.

Wrapped in the light, Stark felt as if he had been reborn.

By the time he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the food shop.

Seeing the gazes of everyone staring at him, Stark immediately sensed his own body.

A voice from the unknown told him that his body now was a divine body.

Hearing such words, Stark was directly stunned in place.

A deity's body, the same kind of body as Thor the Thunder God, Loki the Evil God, and the others!

At this moment, Stark was shocked.

With just one cup of rice wine, he had directly transformed from a mortal into a deity!

This, this is the power of immortals?

This is simply too terrifying!

And just as Stark was marveling, everyone in the food shop felt their curiosity greatly aroused.

Although they couldn't afford to drink it,

that didn't stop them from being curious.

"Stark, how does this rice wine taste?"

Song Yuanqiao, sitting nearby, couldn't help but ask a question.

Don't finish drinking and say nothing.

You should at least give some explanation.

However, facing Song Yuanqiao's inquiry, this time, Stark chose silence.

Tell you?

Are you kidding? That's basically impossible!

This Black Rice Wine Brew is limited to just three cups each time.

Who knows when we'll be able to drink it again!

If I told you, wouldn't it be that next time, you'd fight to the death to grab it?

Having personally experienced this feeling of stepping directly from mortal to deity,

Stark believed that if he spoke of it, the next Black Rice Wine Brew would definitely be fought over to the death.

So, this kind of thing absolutely cannot be said.

Thus, Stark silently glanced at Ying Zheng and Zhu Qizhen.

Ying Zheng, who also wanted to wait for Stark to explain the effect, seeing Stark look at him with a gaze full of deep meaning, couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

What does Stark mean by this?

Could there be something unspeakable about this black rice wine?

After pondering in confusion, Ying Zheng still lifted it directly.

Seeing the cup held only a single mouthful, Ying Zheng drank it all in one gulp.

As the rice wine entered his stomach, just like Stark before, Ying Zheng instantly froze.

Then, in a daze, Ying Zheng arrived at a place shrouded in swirling clouds and mist.

There, Ying Zheng vaguely saw the magnificent Heavenly Court and the countless immortals upon it.

Subsequently, a beam of immortal light seemed to explode within Ying Zheng's body.

Ying Zheng's body, at this moment, had endless impurities purged; under the transformation of the surging internal energy within, it turned into pure spiritual energy, circulating through his body.

Such a scene left Ying Zheng dumbfounded.

This, this... have I stepped onto the path of cultivation?

In a daze, Ying Zheng's body vanished into the clouds and mist.

When Ying Zheng came to his senses and felt the internal energy within his body again,

he saw that the original internal energy had long since vanished completely, replaced by endless spiritual energy.

Such a scene left Ying Zheng dumbfounded; unconsciously, his breathing became rapid.

This black rice wine was simply beyond Ying Zheng's expectations.

Originally, he thought that with the watermelon juice extending his lifespan, he, Ying Zheng, would have the chance to live for several thousand years.

But now it seems, Ying Zheng realized he was ridiculously wrong.

The delicacies of the immortals here are far from simply extending one's lifespan.

This directly allowed a mere mortal like him to step onto the path of cultivation.

In the future, there would be a chance to become an immortal and live as long as the sun and moon.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Under the excitement just now, his little heart almost couldn't take it.

"How is it? How does this black rice wine taste?"

Seeing Ying Zheng finish it with such a shocked expression, Zhang Sanfeng and the others became even more curious.

What exactly is the effect of this black rice wine?

Why does everyone turn out like this after drinking it?

However, facing everyone's questions, Ying Zheng took a deep breath and simply smiled without speaking.

At this moment, Ying Zheng also understood the meaning behind Stark's gaze earlier.

The effect of such a delicacy absolutely cannot be spoken of.

The effect of this black rice wine is simply too heaven-defying.

If spoken of, I'm afraid next time they would definitely fight madly to grab it.

In that case, they would lose out big time.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng's gaze couldn't help but meet Stark's.

The two nodded, as if sharing a telepathic understanding.

For a moment, Yue Buqun, Zhang Sanfeng, Tang San, and the others, who had been watching the two,

seeing such a scene, how could they not know the two's intentions?

These two have joined forces.

They are completely not planning to speak.

The more Ying Zheng and Stark acted this way, the more everyone's hearts guessed.

There's an affair! There must be an affair!

Unconsciously, everyone's gaze turned toward Zhu Qizhen, the last one.

Zhu Qizhen, suddenly stared at by so many people, immediately panicked.

Why are you all looking at me?

I haven't even drunk yet!
