Danwu God Emperor

Ye Lou was taken aback, unsure why he had acted this way. It seemed as if he hadn't thought about it at all, and had kicked out as a reflex. The kick wasn't powerful, but this action seemed to reveal some of his subconscious thoughts.

He glanced awkwardly at Tong Zijin, who had stumbled a few steps forward, and scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

Tong Zijin turned back to look at Ye Lou with a resentful expression. "So you won't chase me then? And you even kicked me! Do you think I'm the kind of person who steals someone else's love? I was just joking with you."

Ye Lou remained silent, as if any further rebuttal would be meaningless.

Do I really have feelings for Mu Wanrou?

Ye Lou himself didn't know that from childhood to adulthood, he was either ostracized or cultivated alone. He had few friends, let alone girls. The first time he touched a girl's hand was when he was five years old and brought Dong Qianqian to visit his home.

Looking back now, I realize I was completely clueless about matters between men and women!

It must be admitted that a woman like Mu Wanrou is absolutely outstanding in terms of background, strength, and appearance; any man would be eager to be with her.

The four arrived at the VIP seating area on the third floor. A glamorous woman stood at the door with a constant smile on her face. When Jiao Xinghe led the three to the door, she bowed slightly, gently pushed open the door, and led everyone to their seats.

The room was not luxurious, probably due to Jiao Xinghe's personality. The only precious thing was the mink fur chair on the balcony, which looked like it was made from the pelt of a second-tier spirit beast, the Azure Snow Mink.

"Biluo, bring two jars of Qingfeng Yiyi!"

The maid, called Biluo, trembled slightly. She carefully observed the three people seated at the octagonal table, then quickly understood, bowed with a smile, and turned to walk towards the corner.

"If I may be so bold as to ask Brother Ye, after the battle just now, if things were to continue, would Brother Ye have any further tricks up his sleeve?" Xinghe asked with a smile.

"If you have it, I have it too!" Ye Lou replied calmly.

Tong Zijin, who was watching from the side, was beaming with pride. The two had already fought to this point, yet they still had the strength to fight. What kind of madmen were these two?

"So you mean I shouldn't have stopped you?" Mu Wanrou rolled her eyes.

The two were speechless. Fortunately, Biluo brought over two jars of fragrant tea, exquisite glass jars, tightly sealed with two large wooden bolts, but the fragrance still wafted out.

Jiao Xinghe pulled out the wooden bolt, and the whole room was immediately filled with a fragrant aroma that invigorated the four of them.

"Excellent wine!" Tong Zijin couldn't help but exclaim, praising it highly!

Ye Lou and Mu Wanrou were also refreshed. The fragrance was constantly stimulating their six senses. Even before tasting it, they were already drooling, which showed how powerful the breeze was.

Jiao Xinghe smiled, raised the wine jar and filled their respective wine cups, then looked at Tong Zijin with a wry smile.

"You better watch out, kid, I don't have much stock left!"

"I've known you for so long, but I've never enjoyed such treatment before. I'm so grateful for Brother Ye's hospitality this time. I'd be doing you a disservice if I didn't drink more!"

After saying that, Tong Zijin drank the wine cup he had just filled in one gulp.

"Cool!"

Ye Lou couldn't wait any longer. He picked up his wine glass and took a few sips. He immediately felt his blood and qi surging, sometimes refreshing, sometimes stimulating. The effect was immediate.

After taking the pill from Jiao Xinghe, his injuries had already recovered by 70-80%. After drinking a few more sips of Qingfeng Yaoyi, his injuries were completely healed, and his body had become much stronger.

The previous battles had given him a feeling that he was approaching the threshold of the ninth level of internal strength. Now, after a few drinks, he has taken it a step further. Now he just needs to find a quiet place to break through.

Indeed, it was fine wine. Ye Lou couldn't help but take a few more glances at it, praising it in his heart.

"Hahaha, it seems Brother Ye has tasted the benefits." Jiao Xinghe laughed as he looked at Ye Lou. "Now I can tell you, this is not the real Gentle Breeze Swaying."

what!

The three were utterly shocked!

Jiao Xinghe shook his head with a wry smile. "The fine wine 'Gentle Breeze' is naturally only available to the wealthy families of the capital. Our Jiao family was fortunate enough to obtain a jar of it, and we then used it to create this fake 'Gentle Breeze'."

The three suddenly realized what was going on, and Jiao Xinghe picked up the wine jar again and sighed.

"Don't underestimate this jar. It cost 100,000 gold coins just in terms of money, not to mention the manpower and resources. Fortunately, it worked. It is quite effective, at least for martial artists in the Inner Strength stage and the Spirit Guiding stage."

It would take at least 100,000 gold coins to create a fake jar of "Gentle Breeze Swaying".

Hearing this, Ye Lou was terrified. The Ye family was already very wealthy in Wushan Town, but 100,000 gold coins were not something that could be used casually.

Moreover, there's a chance of failure with these 100,000 gold coins!

If it were truly a gentle breeze swaying, how much would it cost? Ye Lou didn't even dare to think about it.

"Brother Jiao, I suppose your family has also set its sights on this lucrative path, which is why you've invested so much money in developing this fake 'Gentle Breeze Swaying.' I'd like to ask, what price do you plan to sell this jar for on the market?"

Jiao Xinghe's lips curved into a beautiful arc, and he made an eight-shaped gesture with his left hand.

"Eight hundred thousand?" Tong Zijin blurted out in shock. "A swindler!"

"You think 800,000 is a lot?" Jiao Xinghe shook his head with a wry smile. "Once this thing appears on the market, it will definitely be in short supply. We will need to hire a large number of alchemists, and most of this 800,000 will go into their pockets."

“That makes sense!” Tong Zijin nodded.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Ye Lou's mind: Could I also imitate this fake "Gentle Breeze Swaying" to refine another kind of wine? Elder Chongzhong once said that my spiritual power was strong and I was fully qualified to become an alchemist.

If I also develop another type of wine, I won't have to worry about future cultivation resources, and my mental strength will also improve.

"Brother Jiao, could you sell me this jar of Qingfeng Yaoye that we've already drunk from at a low price?" Ye Lou asked. Although he didn't have that much money on hand, he believed that asking his father for some shouldn't be a problem.

"Me too!" Mu Wanrou exclaimed.

"And what about me?" Tong Zijin asked, tilting his head back, looking as if he had no choice but to take the challenge.

"Alright, alright, alright!" Jiao Xinghe said with a wry smile, "Although I don't have much of this wine in stock, I can still afford three jars. What's wrong with giving away three jars?"

"Oh my, I'd love to be your brother too!" Tong Zijin said with a cheerful laugh.

Mu Wanrou and Ye Lou didn't say much. Given Mu Wanrou's background, she didn't seem to care about the price of the jar of wine. Ye Lou, however, didn't want to refuse, since even half a jar of wine would be an exorbitant price for him.

I simply kept this favor in my heart.

The three chatted in the room for a while longer before leaving the wrestling ring.

Before leaving, Jiao Xinghe took out a Yellow-Rank High-Grade Martial Skill, the Mysterious Step, and the 1.35 million gold coins that Ye Lou had won from betting. Jiao Li Fang deducted 50,000 gold coins, leaving 1.3 million.

This surprised Ye Lou greatly.

Although the Misty Steps is just a movement technique, the Yellow Rank Upper Grade is already quite high, and he didn't expect that his bet on himself would win 1.3 million gold coins.

For convenience, the wrestling club has already exchanged gold cards at the money exchange. When the time comes, they can use the gold cards to exchange for gold coins at any money exchange in the empire.

As Tong Zijin stepped out of the wrestling arena, a servant whispered a few words in his ear, which immediately made him change color.

"Brother, I snuck out this time, I have to go now!" Tong Zijin exchanged a few pleasantries and then hurriedly left with the servant. "I'll come back for you."

Ye Lou was both amused and exasperated, shaking his head repeatedly. He glanced at Mu Wanrou standing to the side and walked straight toward the Brahma Sound Pavilion.
