Chapter 404: Fake Wine

Zhu Xuanji held the light letter, but it felt hot to the touch!

Although he really wanted to throw it away, he recalled that after he returned to the royal capital to report on his duties and met the monarch, the latter directly ordered him to be responsible for the Lava Xian Gong matter on behalf of the Nandou royal family's Zhu clan.

But Zhu Xuanji always felt that he was pushed to the front line by the monarch to contact the Child of Tribulation!

Zhu Xuanji gritted his teeth, opened the letter with difficulty, and scanned the content with his spiritual sense—

To my respected elder brother Zhu Xuanji:

(Zhu Xuanji: Who is your elder brother? Don't call me that randomly!)

Since we parted, the world has separated us, news has been scarce, days and months have passed, and it has already been dozens of days. Not seeing you for a day is like three autumns; I have never forgotten your demeanor and voice for a moment.

(Zhu Xuanji: Why do you remember so clearly? Forget me!)

Recalling the time in the Lava Xian Gong, you and I were in the same boat, working hand in hand. On Mount Wuyin, we weathered the storms together, uniting and maneuvering; it was truly a happy event in my life. Your strategy is far-reaching, and your actions are free and easy. I admire you from the bottom of my heart. Every time I think of this, I can't help but miss the scene back then, still feeling warm in my heart. If we could continue our previous fate, it would truly be a heaven-sent opportunity.

(Zhu Xuanji: Who said we were working hand in hand? Weren't you calculating against me? Ominous, very ominous! What does this brat want me to help with again?)

I have a small request. I have long heard of our Nandou Kingdom's royal cellar 'Lovesickness Wine,' fragrant and wonderful, a treasure of the world. Although I have never tasted it, I have longed for it for a long time. I dare to ask you to give me a jar to quench my thirst for fine wine and also to add to our old friendship.

(Zhu Xuanji: Lovesickness Wine? This brat likes drinking now? I'll give it to you, just give it to you, don't cause me trouble.)

Additionally, there was an ancient sage named Five Elements God Lord. I am very interested in this, but the information in my hands is limited, so I specifically ask you to bestow some information to solve my confusion. If I can learn a thing or two, I will be inexplicably grateful.

(Zhu Xuanji: Five Elements God Lord? This title is very big, I seem to have seen it somewhere. Seeking information from me? You must have taken a fancy to my Divine Catcher Division's archives and files. Good brat, you asked the right person. I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you too!)

I hope you investigate cases recently with lightning-fast thinking, penetrating the mysteries. May all difficult matters be cleared away, and may everything go smoothly so you can achieve victory soon. If you are free, I would like to invite you to Myriad Medicine Valley. The scenery is beautiful, the grass and trees are lush, and it is just right to drink fine wine together, talk about old times, and discuss new strategies.

Please take care, I hope everything goes well for you, and you come to meet me soon to fulfill our grand ambitions together!

Sincerely,

Unlike Ning Zhuo bows

(Zhu Xuanji: Myriad Medicine Valley? Oh, there seems to be a large sect there called the Myriad Medicine Sect. Want me to go to Myriad Medicine Valley? Hehe, how is that possible? You think too beautifully!)

Zhu Xuanji finished reading the letter, and his forehead was sweating a little.

As for the Child of Tribulation, he wanted to stay as far away as possible.

Inviting himself to the Myriad Medicine Sect?

Not going!

Absolutely not going!

Lovesickness Wine, and information about the Five Elements God Lord, I'll give it to you, all to you.

Just don't come and bother me.

"Wait, why is Unlike Ning Zhuo specifically looking for information on the Five Elements God Lord? What has he come into contact with again?"

"Don't think, don't think about anything."

"Why are you getting involved in the Child of Tribulation's affairs?!"

Zhu Xuanji immediately warned himself in his heart.

He was fully alert, personally checked the files, searched the records, extracted all the information about the Five Elements God Lord, and made a jade slip.

He also used his connections to take out the century-old royal cellar Lovesickness Wine from the royal treasury.

Finally, he opened the station's special transmission privilege and sent these things to Unlike Ning Zhuo at the fastest speed.

Myriad Medicine Valley.

Unlike Ning Zhuo received the information and was quite surprised.

He sighed to Sun Lingtong: "Old Zhu is righteous and capable. I didn't expect him to be so fast in handling these things."

"To him, it's a small matter, but it helped me a lot."

"Hmm, I must thank him properly in the future, and I'll still look for him if I have things to do!"

Sun Lingtong said: "Now your Ning family's performance in the Lava Xian Gong matter concerns whether Fire Persimmon Immortal City falls into the hands of the Meng family. This is quite important to the royal family."

"Little Zhuo, you are now a pivotal figure in the Ning family, so of course Zhu Xuanji will value you."

"It's just that I didn't expect that in the end, we would become friends with Zhu Xuanji. This turn of events in the world is really surprising."

"However, are you still suspicious about your investigation into the Five Elements God Lord?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded and said: "I have read the Book of Songs and history books thoroughly, but I have never heard of the title of Five Elements God Lord. With such great ability, he must be an ancient figure."

"Living people have yang lifespan, and dead people have yin lifespan. Yang lifespan is limited, and so is yin lifespan."

"According to common sense, the great abilities of ancient times should have exhausted their ten-thousand-year yin lifespan by now. But I feel that the Five Elements God Lord is alive and kicking. This is abnormal."

"The biggest doubt is that after I returned to the Mechanical Swimming Dragon, I was clearly sober, but I still received the Dharma-transmission of the Five Elements God Lord."

"I told Linghu Jiu about this, and he couldn't explain it either."

"There are many strange things in this. Obtaining the Dharma-transmission and getting the complete 'Five Viscera Temple Spirit Art' was a bit too easy. And the skyrocketing of my Five Elements realm is even more valuable than this divine art."

"I am young, but I read a lot of books. I have little experience, but I have been painstakingly planning the Lava Xian Gong matter for fourteen years."

"Suddenly obtaining such a large benefit, to be honest, I am uneasy in my heart."

Sun Lingtong shrugged: "What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, you don't practice this divine art, and the Five Elements realm completely belongs to yourself; it's a solid benefit."

"Yin lifespan is limited, but how can the great abilities of the Five Elements God Lord be measured by common sense?"

"We are just two Foundation Establishment juniors, how could we possibly understand the power of the Five Elements God Lord?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head: "If I investigate first and understand the details, I can refer to the 'Five Viscera Temple Spirit Art' with peace of mind in the future."

Sun Lingtong nodded: "Hmm, being cautious like this is also good. Let's see what the jade slip says together."

Unlike Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong both projected their spiritual sense.

The information about the Five Elements God Lord was all known to them. Just as Unlike Ning Zhuo had guessed before, the Five Elements God Lord was indeed an ancient figure—

He appeared after the Blood Slaughter Dynasty, at the beginning of the Wu Di era!

The Blood Slaughter Dynasty was the first dynasty in history.

A so-called dynasty is a power organization that unified the entire world and all its territory.

In the history of the whole world, only three dynasties have appeared. The Blood Slaughter Dynasty was the first.

At that time, human cultivators were not the protagonists, and the rampant demons and monsters were the most significant feature of the dynasty.

After the dynasty disintegrated, forces all over the world fell into fighting and slaughter, a mess.

It was not until a man of mixed human, demon, and monster blood ascended the throne that the world regained most of its order.

This man was the Wu Di!

In history, he is considered the second emperor.

And there are only five historically recognized empires. One of the criteria for an empire is that the cultivation country occupies at least 80% of the world's territory, has a huge influence, and is the main body of the world.

The relationship between the Five Elements God Lord and the Wu Di was quite close, belonging to both friends and enemies.

He was talented and had a tough style. Before the Wu Di ascended the throne, he fought side by side with the Wu Di, and the two had a deep friendship of fighting together.

The Five Elements God Lord's famous battle was the battle against the Black River Flood Dragon Demon. At that time, the Five Elements God Lord went alone into the Black River, turned the Black River completely red, and finally fought the Flood Dragon Demon for three days and three nights, beheading the Flood Dragon Demon. With his own strength, he swept through a major demon force, shocking the world.

The Five Elements God Lord's peak battle was the battle against the Blood Sea Demon Lord. He led a large army to besiege the Blood Sea for several years, and finally trapped and killed the Blood Sea Demon Lord with the Five Elements Demon-Slaying Array he had set up. After this battle, he was recognized as the number one person under the Wu Di.

The Five Elements God Lord's last battle was the Battle of Myriad Demon Mountain. The Wu Di led a large army to sweep through the world, forcing the demons and monsters to gather at Myriad Demon Mountain.

The demon forces gathered, and the Wu Di could not attack for a long time. The Five Elements God Lord was ordered to take the risk and personally charge into the formation. He manifested the five spirits, divine light soared into the sky, and he launched a life-and-death battle with the demons and monsters.

Finally, the Wu Di's army captured Myriad Demon Mountain, disintegrated this entire former highest peak, and the Five Elements God Lord also died on the battlefield.

The above are all official history.

And according to many clues collected by the Divine Catcher Division and the information obtained from archaeology, after summarizing, there is also an unofficial history.

In the unofficial history, it tells of the emotional entanglement between two men and one woman.

The two men were the Wu Di and the Five Elements God Lord, and the woman was the Quiet Jade Immortal Concubine.

The former two traveled the world together in their early years and met the latter, both developing feelings of admiration. But in the end, the Quiet Jade Immortal Concubine married the Wu Di.

However, the Wu Di had many concubines and was focused on his grand cause, neglecting the feelings of the Quiet Jade Immortal Concubine.

The Five Elements God Lord and the Quiet Jade Immortal Concubine met privately frequently, which was finally discovered by the Wu Di.

The Wu Di then plotted to have the Quiet Jade Immortal Concubine captured by demons and monsters and taken to Myriad Demon Mountain. The Five Elements God Lord went to rescue her regardless of his own safety, and finally, he and the Quiet Jade Immortal Concubine both died at Myriad Demon Mountain.

It was precisely because of this that after the Wu Di achieved his grand cause, he personally ordered the eradication of all records in the world, attempting to cover up the matter of the Five Elements God Lord and the Quiet Jade Immortal Concubine in the long river of history, so that future generations would not know about it.

After Sun Lingtong finished reading, he said: "So, the Wu Di is such a man. Tsk tsk tsk!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo pondered: "No wonder I haven't heard of this person's title. On one hand, he was born in ancient times, and on the other hand, the records were artificially erased, so very little has been passed down."

The information was read, but it failed to explain why the Five Elements God Lord has survived to this day and gave Unlike Ning Zhuo the inheritance in the underworld.

"Myriad Demon Mountain, Myriad Demon Cave, Myriad Medicine Valley, Myriad Medicine Sect... I didn't expect the valley here to have once been the highest peak in the world. The holy mountain where ten thousand demons once gathered is now just a base for an ordinary sect that sells medicine. The vicissitudes of life, nothing more than this." Sun Lingtong sighed endlessly.

Unlike Ning Zhuo frowned: "Something is wrong, I always feel there is something strange somewhere."

"Boss, I want to drink the Nether-Thought Dark Brew again."

Sun Lingtong said: "You can drink it, but don't get close to the Spirit-Hidden Willow."

"I know that, of course." Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded.

He left the Mechanical Swimming Dragon directly and let Sun Lingtong drive it to a corner of the cave, far away from Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Ning Zhuo sat cross-legged on the cushion and solemnly took a sip of the Nether-Thought Dark Brew.

Nothing happened.

He took a few more sips.

Calm and tranquil!

Unlike Ning Zhuo frowned deeply, pondered for a while, and summoned Hua Guzi.

"Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo! You finally summoned me!" Hua Guzi's eyes lit up, very excited.

Unlike Ning Zhuo waved his hand: "Take a look at this wine."

Hua Guzi used various methods to detect it, finally tasted a sip, and spat: "This wine is crudely made, the recipe is contradictory, it can be called fake wine!"

"Young Master, tell me quickly, who took this thing to fool you? I'll shave him and vent your anger!" ===== CHAPTER 405 =====
