Chapter 368

He was telling the truth.

Whether it was the Seven-Lantern Starry Night Wine, or the Sangluo and Zhuyu wines brewed by Baili Baili Dongjun, the limits for outsiders were real, but there were no limits for Snow Moon City disciples.

However,

the Seven-Lantern Starry Night Wine was different from other wines.

Some disciples with low cultivation, even after drinking just one cup, would have to spend a considerable amount of time refining it. Just like Lei Lei Wujie back then, who had only drunk one cup and found his Fire-Burning Technique becoming difficult to control.

From this, one could imagine how special this Seven-Lantern Starry Night Wine was.

And this was why he had only asked Shopkeeper Xie to bring three jars.

Because among those present, only Guo Jing had reached the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, while the others had at most reached the late stage of the Self-Possessed Earth Realm.

This group of people, apart from Guo Jing,

could drink at most two jars combined; any more, and someone would surely suffer from Qi deviation.

Of course,

although the Seven-Lantern Starry Night Wine was unlimited for Snow Moon City disciples, that only applied to the disciples themselves.

Simply put,

it was fine for Snow Moon City disciples to drink it themselves, but they could not give it away to outsiders.

After all, since this wine helped with cultivation,

it was naturally impossible to give it away casually.

Watching the shocked expressions of the group, Jiang Chen smiled slightly: “Since Brother Guo said that meeting is fate, then I am naturally not a stingy person. If Brother Guo likes it, when you leave Snow Moon City, I will gift you a few more jars to take back and enjoy slowly.”

“This... this wouldn’t be very appropriate.”

Guo Jing said with some hesitation: “Since Young Friend Jiang has said that this Seven-Lantern Starry Night Wine is not easy to brew, even as a disciple of Snow Moon City, I imagine it is not an easy task to produce three jars at once.”

“Besides, for such precious wine, I am already satisfied to have enjoyed it once; how could I ask for more?”

Jiang Chen shook his head and smiled: “Brother Guo, there is no need for such courtesy. I feel as though we have known each other for a long time; it is just a few jars of wine.”

Having said this,

Jiang Chen suddenly looked at Guo Jing with some confusion:

“Could it be that Brother Guo feels a few jars are too little? If so, I will prepare some other unique wines from Snow Moon City for you, such as Sangluo or Zhuyu. Although they don’t have the miraculous effects of the Seven-Lantern Starry Night Wine, in other respects, they are not inferior at all. Some of them even taste more unique than the Seven-Lantern Starry Night Wine.”

Guo Jing: “...”

He looked at Jiang Chen with a strange expression.

Are the people of Snow Moon City always this hospitable?

Could it be that the people of the Complete Perfection Sect had misunderstood Snow Moon City?

That didn’t seem right either.

He had known the disciple of the Complete Perfection Sect who was killed by a Snow Moon City disciple.

Moreover,

because he was considered half a disciple of the Complete Perfection Sect himself, he had even stood by and watched when they buried that disciple.

Looking at the puzzled Guo Jing,

Jiang Chen just smiled at him.

You accept the wine, and Huang Rong will be mine.

“Young Friend Jiang’s hospitality is truly hard to refuse.”

“However, since you insist, I will accept it without further ceremony. But I didn’t bring anything with me on this trip, and I imagine you wouldn’t care for ordinary worldly wealth. I only hope that if you ever visit the Great Song, you will come to Xiangyang City so that I may play the host.”

After thinking for a long time,

Guo Jing still couldn’t figure out why Jiang Chen was so friendly toward him.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen laughed heartily: “Haha, definitely, definitely! I only hope that when that day comes, Brother Guo won’t pretend not to know me.”

“Certainly not!”

Guo Jing shook his head quickly: “Although I am untalented, everyone present here can vouch for my character.”

“Yes, yes, Young Friend Jiang, rest assured, Brother Guo’s character is trustworthy; otherwise, we wouldn’t be following him.”

“Indeed, indeed, in the Great Song martial arts world, who doesn’t know that Brother Guo values loyalty above all?”

“Brother Guo’s title of Hero Guo was not earned for nothing!”

Hearing Guo Jing’s words,

everyone echoed in agreement,

and then stared eagerly at Jiang Chen.

As if to say, don’t just give the Seven-Lantern Starry Night Wine to Guo Jing; what about us?

Seeing this,

Jiang Chen was not stingy.

After all, those who could follow Guo Jing and risk their lives to guard Xiangyang City could not possibly be bad people.

He smiled and said: “I’m sure you all know that this Seven-Lantern Starry Night Wine is not easy to brew, so it is indeed difficult to bring out so much at once.”

Hearing this,

everyone was stunned, and then expressions of disappointment appeared on their faces.

However, immediately after,

they heard Jiang Chen continue: “Of course, I wouldn’t dare promise too much, but I can manage one jar for each of you present. I only hope you won’t find it too little.”

“How could we!”

“Yes, yes, one jar is enough!”

“Indeed, if Young Friend Jiang gave us too much, us rough fellows wouldn’t know how to cherish it!”

“Many thanks, Young Friend Jiang!”

“To be honest, I had some misunderstandings about Snow Moon City before, but having seen Young Friend Jiang’s character, it seems I was mistaken.”

Just then,

Shopkeeper Xie walked over.

Behind him followed two waiters, and including Shopkeeper Xie, each of them was holding a jar of wine.

When they saw the wine jars that almost blocked the chests of the three men,

the smiles on the faces of those who had just spoken became even broader.

This jar of wine,

probably contained at least several dozen pots, right?!

This Young Friend Jiang before them,

is truly hospitable!

At this moment, they had long forgotten the purpose of their trip.

Moreover,

judging by Young Friend Jiang’s generous style,

not everyone in Snow Moon City is bloodthirsty!

Just like Young Friend Jiang, he looks extraordinary and is quite worth befriending!

Listening to the praises around him,

Jiang Chen bowed to everyone with a smile, then turned to Shopkeeper Xie and said: “Shopkeeper Xie, arrange for some food to be sent to Seeing Sangsang’s place later; she has some guests.”

“Yes, Young Master Jiang.”

Shopkeeper Xie nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

Then, he thought for a moment and asked tentatively: “Are those guests drinking?”

“You almost made me forget.”

Hearing Shopkeeper Xie’s words,

Jiang Chen tapped his head and smiled: “Hua Jin and the other two don’t need any; they have plenty of wine hidden away themselves. But send over more of that Seven-Lantern Starry Night Wine, and tell Seeing Sangsang to mention to Sect Leader Lin that this wine will help her stabilize her cultivation realm.”

“Yes, I will go arrange it immediately.”

Shopkeeper Xie acknowledged and then turned to leave with the two waiters.

From beginning to end, he did not ask who that Sect Leader Lin was.
