Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 90 A Fortuitous Encounter, Three Days of Revelry
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

On the day the Jiuquan Conference was held, Gu Qing attended on time, and the scene was so crowded that it was no exaggeration to say that it was packed with people.

It was a dense mass of human heads.

With no flights allowed within the city and no guards to clear the way, Gu Qing could only squeeze through the crowds and finally made it to the main venue of the Jiuquan Conference.

Zuixianfang, the No. 1 Restaurant, Bairiju.

Their flagship product, "Hundred-Day Intoxication," is said to keep even a seventh-grade cultivator intoxicated for a hundred days before they can wake up. It's known as a "sleep-inducing drug for cultivators," and many villains buy it to use as a sleeping potion.

It has harmed many people.

Bai Ri Ju was once boycotted, but later became a high-end prohibited liquor. Every jar was sold to someone and at what price.

If necessary, it will be made public to prove innocence.

That's quite an interesting story.

The Jiuquan Conference had many participants, with merchants participating in the rankings divided into five batches in different locations. Scattered cultivators also frequented these places, making it a low-end venue.

The Hundred-Day Residence that Gu Qing came to was a high-end place on another level.

The participants were all wealthy and powerful, and the spiritual wine they offered was also a rare commodity, greatly beneficial to cultivation.

This was the local tyrant of Nanli City and representatives of various forces from Nanyue, a microcosm of the Tongbao auction that would follow.

The tickets Yue Ming got for him were quite valuable.

After identifying himself, the guards stationed outside quickly confirmed Gu Qing's identity by flipping through the documents.

“Distinguished disciple of Baiyue Mountain, please follow me.”

Even when tasting wine at Bai Ri Ju, it's done in different settings.

There are a total of twelve wine tasting rooms.

Gu Qingjin's main hall was considered one head lower, ranking fourth.

The wine inside was piled up like mountains, with nine wine mountains in total, and seats were arranged on both sides.

There were documents in front of him, and a plush carpet behind him.

The monks knelt here, sipping wine and discussing philosophy, looking quite dignified.

In addition, each person was assigned two beautiful waitresses, one responsible for serving and pouring wine, and the other responsible for serving the participants, such as massaging acupoints, warming wine, fanning, and massaging shoulders.

This kind of treatment is too corrupt.

Without even thinking about it, it's obvious that this is a perk arranged by Bai Ri Ju for the powerful and wealthy, and Gu Qing is just taking advantage of it.

Li Qiufeng and his two junior sisters were also seated in the fourth hall, connected to Gu Qing.

Yue Ming was not there; he had gone to the First Hall.

After the group met.

Li Qiufeng enjoyed the service and said something.

“Junior Brother Gu, you really missed out by not going to the Yue family these past few days. The food there, if not comparable to dragon liver and phoenix marrow, is not far off. It’s all top-notch spiritual food, which is very beneficial to cultivation.”

“These past few days, I feel like the bottlenecks have loosened up.”

Gu Qing simply smiled at this.

"Senior Brother Li, sometimes taking a step back is the only way to clear away the fog before your eyes."

"Only by focusing on life can we see death."

After a brief reminder, Li Qiufeng seemed to be deep in thought, so Gu Qing didn't say anything more.

Once everyone had arrived, the sommelier arranged by Bai Ri Ju took the stage and introduced each jar of wine to the group. His witty and humorous remarks sometimes made people laugh and sometimes made them feel intoxicated.

Savor the wine while also appreciating the stories behind the tea.

The emotional value is maximized.

Gu Qing felt the trip was worthwhile; he had seen all sorts of things in Nanli City.

"Spirit Flame Wine, Hundred Poisons Wine, Yu Clam Wine, Ice Silk Wine, Illusion Heart Wine..."

Cup after cup of spirit wine went down his throat.

Gu Qing's cheeks flushed, his eyes gradually became hazy, and his surging true energy surged within him as he focused all his efforts on refining the wine he had drunk.

Inside the main hall, drunken cultivators were occasionally carried out by beautiful wine servants, clearly not destined to drink the subsequent wines.

He usually refines spiritual objects.

Gu Qing mostly left the refining process to Taotie Shou, as it was too slow to do it himself in public these days.

Unconsciously, he activated his Devouring Divine Power.

This method comes from the Taotie head's lineage; it only has the method of devouring, not the method of swallowing.

Gu Qing, who had never mastered the technique in years and had never succeeded even once, somehow had a stroke of good luck today and managed to activate the supernatural power in one fell swoop.

A black, intertwined line appeared between his brows.

It's like some kind of mark.

The spiritual wine within his body was almost completely refined in an instant, and the true essence in his dantian surged dramatically. His opportunity had arrived.

"Pour the wine!!!"

The wine server, Bai Shao, lightly covered her red lips; she had never seen anyone who could drink as much as Gu Qing.

Before anyone knew it, all the cultivators in the fourth hall had been carried out.

Gu Qing was left to drink alone.

The sommelier, seeing that the atmosphere had cooled down, said goodbye to Gu Qing and left.

Gu Qing was still drinking.

One day.

two days.

Three days.

The nine wine mountains are now empty.

The waiter poured the last cup of spirit wine into a glass, brought it to Gu Qing's lips, and whispered.

"Sir, the wine is finished."

"End?"

Gu Qing opened her eyes, and the dark lines between her brows quickly faded.

Yawn lazily.

In these three days, he drank at least 80% of the wine in the Fourth Hall, saving him countless hours of hard work. His Qi Sea True Essence nearly tripled, and he was only a little bit away from the realm of True Essence as vast as the sea.

How many resources did this save him?!

"The Jiuquan Conference was indeed a fortuitous opportunity."

Bai Shao chuckled softly from the side.

"The master has been drinking for three days. Almost all the other seniors were drunk on the first day and probably only just woke up today."

Gu Qing then realized the problem and said awkwardly in a low voice.

"I paid for the ticket."

"My lord, there is no need to worry. The Jiuquan Conference has a history of thousands of years and has never broken its promise."

"In fact, as long as you can drink it all, it doesn't matter. It's like a customary rule, and they won't charge you for it."

"That's good."

Gu Qing's heart, which had been in her throat, settled back down.

"Thank you for serving me this time."

Gu Qing took out a bottle of Pure Yuan Pills and stuffed it into Bai Shao's groin. It was rare for Gu Qing to be so generous, which showed that the service was quite thorough.

He waved and left the main hall.

Standing there, Bai Shao clutched her chest with delight. This bottle of Pure Essence Pill was worth more than her annual income, making her three days of hard work serving him worthwhile.

Outside the hall, the manager of the Hundred-Day Residence was waiting.

He was holding a blank jade scroll and waiting for Gu Qing. When he saw Gu Qing come out, he quickly walked over and asked.

"My lord, have you enjoyed yourself?"

"nature."

"Your capacity for alcohol is unparalleled in my life, and you must be very knowledgeable about the art of drinking. Were there any spirit wines that left a deep impression on you during this drinking session?"

"Adults can nominate candidates and provide evaluations."

"Bai Ri Ju will also take your opinion into consideration in this regard."

Is there such a thing?
Gu Qing was slightly surprised, but then he understood the reasoning behind it. For those in the service industry, whether they are ordinary people or cultivators, creating a welcoming atmosphere is extremely important.

No wonder Bai Ri Ju was able to become the number one restaurant in Zui Xian Fang; it really has the ability.

"In terms of potency, Bai Du Jiu (a type of poison) should be number one."

"When it comes to rich aroma, Hongzhuang wine is the best."

"As for the taste,..."

Once he got into the mood, Gu Qing launched into a long, rambling speech.

The manager noted everything down, expressed his gratitude, and then spoke.

"Young Master Yue Ming has prepared a private room for you and everyone from Baiyue Mountain for the auction. It will begin in about seven days. Here is your admission token."

"This……"

Gu Qing hesitated for a moment but still accepted.
