Chapter 367: Wine Shop & Beauty

“Y&X Wine shop.” Someone read and subconsciously tilted his head.

“When did such a shop open?” He continued.

“How would I know?” Another male cultivator shrugged and said.

After all, they had been out on a mission together.

“Do you want to go in?”

“Why not?!”

Soon after, three male cultivators entered the wine shop and began looking around.

“Beauty wine…” One said and began reading the description.

The beauty wine was divided into four categories: ten years old, one hundred years old, one thousand years old, and ten thousand years old.

A cup of the ten-year-old beauty wine could preserve the appearance for fifty years.

In the same vein, the one hundred years could preserve for five hundred years, the one thousand could last five thousand years, and the effect of the ten thousand could last fifty thousand years.

Additionally, the wines had the effect of rejuvenating the body, allowing a cultivator to regain their youthful appearance.

“This wine seems more powerful than the beauty pill.” One of the cultivators said, but he was a man, and wasn’t very interested in the beauty wine.

After that, he moved a few steps and stopped in front of another wine gourd.

“Cloud seeking fruit wine.” He read, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Similar to the beauty wine, the cloud-seeking fruits wine was categorised according to age.

However, the specific effect was not detailed because the wine had different effects on different people.

After all, some cultivators frequently refined their qi to remove impurities while others didn’t bother.

“This is a good thing.” The cultivator muttered and looked around.

However, he didn’t find what he was looking for and subconsciously frowned.

“Where are the shopkeeper and attendants?” He asked, causing his companions to also look around.

A moment later, one of the cultivators pointed to a notice.

“There is something over there.” He said, and the other two turned to look.

The notice was a guide for buying wine.

After reading, the three exchanged a glance and looked uncertain.

“Could this be a trick?” One of them asked.

“Have you forgotten? The trading area is under Elder Fu.” Another said with a thoughtful expression.

“Elder Fu loves spirit stones, but he would never allow a black shop to appear in the trading area.”

“But, is it really possible to trade like this?”

“Won’t we know when we try?!”

“You want to try? What if your spirit stones go to waste?”

“If the owner dares to trick me, I will dare to report to Elder Fu.”

With that, the person took out the correct number of spirit stones and placed them on a plate.

Half a breath later, the spirit stones disappeared, and a small wine gourd appeared on the plate.

“It actually worked?” He exclaimed and happily reached for the wine gourd.

“Hurry up and check the wine’s quality?” His companion urged, and the buyer nodded.

Soon after, he opened the gourd, and a delicate fragrance filled the shop.

“It’s fragrant and has rich qi. It’s a good thing.” The man confirmed, but his friends looked at him with confused faces.

“Why did you buy beauty wine?” One asked.

“What’s wrong with buying beauty wine?” The person snorted and quickly continued.

“Don’t envy me when I find a Taoist partner.” He said, but the others didn’t take him seriously.

After successfully buying wine, the three left the shop and went to their residences.

However, a few days later, they led other disciples and returned to the shop.

“This is the wine shop.” One of the original three said and hurriedly entered the shop.

He previously bought a ten-year-old, marrow cleansing peach wine.

As a result, three cups removed so many impurities that his skin turned black.

This time, he planned to buy a one-thousand-year-old marrow cleansing peach wine and a one-thousand-year-old cloud seeking fruits wine.

Over the next month, the Y&X Wine Shop became famous in the Tianxuan sect.

On one hand, it had more than one hundred types of high-quality wine, and on the other, its self-service model was something that no one had ever seen before.

Because of this, many masters had patronised the shop to examine the formations and runes. Unfortunately, not even the elders could figure out how everything worked.

…..

On this day, Xuanyuan Ze was talking to his sister when someone suddenly rushed into the room.

“Young master, we have a lead.” The intruder said with an excited expression.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Ze stood; his eyes bright and his hands clenched into fists.

“Really?” He asked, and the intruder nodded.

The intruder was Cheng Chi, Xuanyuan Ze’s subordinate and also an inner sect disciple.

“Really.” Cheng Chi nodded.

“Where is he? I want to meet him right now?” Xuanyuan Ze said and made to leave the room.

However, Cheng Chi didn’t move and instead shook his head.

“He is currently in seclusion.” Cheng Chi said, and Xuanyuan Ze angrily hit the table.

“How can he be in seclusion?” He muttered, and Xuanyuan Yan raised an eyebrow.

“What’s going on?” She asked, but Xuanyuan Ze didn’t answer.

Instead, Cheng Chi sighed but soon smiled.

“Young miss, the young master has fallen in love.” Cheng Chi said, and Xuanyuan Yan almost rolled her eyes, completely losing interest.

After all, her brother often fell in love, but after getting the person, the love would fade until the next time.

“It’s different this time.” Cheng Chi whispered and subconsciously glanced at Xuanyuan Ze from the corner of his eye.

“How is it different?” Xuanyuan Yan asked.

“One month ago, the young master and several friends were eating at the Fushui restaurant in the trading area.” Cheng Chi started and quickly continued.

“While there, he saw an extremely beautiful double and immediately wanted to marry him. Unfortunately, the double disappeared and we haven’t been able to find a trace until now.”

“Marry him?” Xuanyuan Yan asked in a surprised voice.

Her brother had had many romances since he came of age.

However, he had never married or even thought about marrying any of the people.

Considering this, Xuanyuan Yan was understandably surprised that her brother wanted to marry someone.

’I wonder how beautiful the double is?’ She thought and narrowed her eyes.

“How does the double compare to Xuanyuan Xing?” She asked.

Although no one dared to openly say it, it was well accepted that Lin Hua and Xuanyuan Xing were the most beautiful doubles in the Tianxuan continent.

Knowing this, Xuanyuan Yan wanted to know how the mysterious double fared when compared to the two beauties.

“Incomparable.” Cheng Chi said, and Xuanyuan Yan nodded.

“Mother and Xuanyuan Xing are uncommonly beautiful. It’s hard for a double to achieve such a level.” She said, but Cheng Chi shook his head.

“I mean that the sect master’s wife and fellow Daoist Xuanyuan can’t compare to that double.” He said and continued.

“I was with the young master on that day, and I also saw the double. He is so beautiful that almost everyone will become a plain background when standing beside him.”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yan tilted her head but didn’t miss the wording.

“Almost everyone?” She asked, and Cheng Chi nodded.

“The double was with an extraordinarily handsome man. That man…” Cheng Chi started but didn’t know how to describe it.

“That man has an otherworldly charm that is impossible to ignore.”

“Is he better looking than senior brother Leng?”

“Undoubtedly.” Cheng Chi immediately answered.

Senior brother Leng was the sect master’s first disciple, and he was recognised as the most handsome man in the Tianxuan continent.

Hearing that the mysterious man was better looking than senior brother Leng, Xuanyuan was immediately curious.

However, her curiosity had nothing to do with liking.

For her, Mo Ling was enough, and she didn’t need other men to keep her company.

Thinking of Mo Ling, Xuanyuan Yan frowned, and a trace of agitation flashed in her eyes.

She liked Mo Ling.

Unfortunately, Mo Ling was devoted to Xuanyuan Xing and didn’t care about anyone else.

’Let’s see what excuse he will have after Xuanyuan Xing marries Ancestor Song.’ She thought, her eyes narrowed into slits.

At this time, Xuanyuan Ze joined the conversation.

“What do you know about him?” He asked.

“The double is called Shen Xu, and the male cultivator beside him is called Zhen Yuan. They…” Cheng Chi said, swallowed and looked at Xuanyuan Ze with cautious eyes.

Seeing the look, Xuanyuan Ze grew impatient and glared.

“They are what?” He urged, and Cheng Chi had no choice but to answer.

“They are Taoist partners.” He said, expecting a violent reaction from Xuanyuan Ze.

However, he didn’t get what he expected.

Instead, Xuanyuan Ze sneered, and his body leaked undisguised killing intent.

“Where is he?” He asked.

“The two are the owners of the Y&X Wine Shop. They are both in retreat, but they are expected to come out in four days.”

“Four days? How do you know?”

“They issued a task in the mission hall, and the initial collection day is the first of next month. They will be receiving the bird monster blood at their wine shop.”

“In that case, I will let that so-called Zhen Yuan live for a few more days.” Xuanyuan Ze said, and his sister sighed.

’Beauty is a source of disaster.’ She thought.
