Chapter 2503: Alchemist Di Guang
Gu Tianhai’s small courtyard.
Lin Feng and Gu Tianhai were drinking in the courtyard with other people. Of course, the so-called wine was the juice of the Drunken Dragon Vine, and the courtyard was filled with the aroma of wine, intoxicating all who smelled it.
"What kind of wine is this? It’s so good!"
Gu Tianhai tasted the juice of the Drunken Dragon Vine, his face full of smiles. It was simply too good, the best wine he had ever tasted. He had never heard of such a wonderful wine before. Even he, normally a very reserved person, couldn’t help but praise it.
"Yes, I’ve never had anything like this before. This wine is truly delicious!"
"It’s strange, having traveled to so many places, why have I never tasted such a fine wine?"
"Strange indeed. I’ve lived for thousands of years and never had this..."
...
Not only Gu Tianhai, but others in the courtyard were also full of praise. They were all enamored with the juice of the Drunken Dragon Vine. Having never tasted such a fine wine, they were really curious about where this wine came from and why it tasted so good!
"Actually, this isn’t wine but a juice called Drunken Dragon Vine. When I first came to the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, the first village I passed through had its people drinking this juice." Seeing everyone’s delight, Lin Feng didn’t hold back, directly revealing the origins of the Drunken Dragon Vine.
"What?"
"Drunken Dragon Vine?"
"There’s such a plant?"
...
Everyone was amazed to hear this. None had anticipated that the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm held such a plant. They were all incredibly envious of Lin Feng, wondering how he had such luck to encounter something so remarkable!
Lin Feng watched everyone’s astonished expressions, recalling his own past surprise, and smiled. He then said to everyone, "It’s all a matter of fate and chance. Who would have thought the juice of a plant could be a fine wine? I only realized after drinking it, and later collected some seeds. As for the wine, I found it in my Space Ring, having almost forgotten about it."
However, Lin Feng did not mention the cultivation of the Drunken Dragon Vine in the Cave Heaven Mansion. The Cave Heaven Mansion must remain a secret, a matter Lin Feng would absolutely not disclose.
"Seeds? Do you have any more?"
Gu Tianhai looked at Lin Feng and quickly asked. Even if there was wine in the Space Ring, there wouldn’t be much of it. So, he was most concerned about whether there were seeds. If there were, he must find a place to plant them well. That way he could always drink such fine wine. The thought of it made his heart race.
"I have a few seeds left, but I suggest you don’t plant them indiscriminately. This thing matures very slowly, and it’s uncertain where we will establish a Sect in the future, which could make it troublesome later." Lin Feng directly addressed Gu Tianhai. While seeds were indeed available, they were scarce, making it impractical for Gu Tianhai to plant them here.
Gu Tianhai and the others could not help but express regret upon hearing this. They wished they could drink such wine daily, but it seemed they could only indulge today. Thinking of this, their hearts felt heavy because after tasting such a wonderful wine, how could they ever enjoy other wines again...
"Brother Tianhai, do you think this wine could persuade that strange person?" Lin Feng looked at Gu Tianhai and asked.
"Certainly, I can’t resist it, let alone that person. If you really bring this wine to that strange person, I can’t say for sure, but the difficulty of our previous discussions will be cut in half." Hearing Lin Feng’s inquiry, Gu Tianhai replied with a smile. For someone who loves wine, resisting this wine would indeed be peculiar.
"That makes things easier." After hearing Gu Tianhai’s words, Lin Feng smiled as well, making things much simpler.
Three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes later, the five jars of Drunken Dragon Wine that Lin Feng had taken out were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. However, he would not bring out any more Drunken Dragon Wine as he needed the remaining wine to visit the strange person Gu Tianhai had mentioned.
After the banquet, Lin Feng left with Tao Tao to visit the place of the strange person Gu Tianhai had mentioned.
Less than a hundred miles northeast of Ling City, in a very unique valley, stood a quaint and elegant residence, looking very exquisite with few houses, only five. Around it was a low fence made from a special plant, not to block people, but merely to keep out crawling pests.
Lin Feng and Tao Tao entered the courtyard, examining its amenities: a simple bone tea table, a few wooden stumps serving as chairs. On one side of the courtyard were some Spiritual Medicine plants, while on the other stood a very small pavilion, inside which was something resembling a fish tank, containing a few very beautiful fish.
It must be said, Lin Feng felt quite fond of this courtyard. Such elegance, and spotless cleanliness, indicated that the stranger Gu Tianhai had mentioned was definitely a diligent person. Otherwise, the stranger must have a very capable servant, for it couldn’t have looked this way otherwise.
"Alchemist Di, are you here?"
Lin Feng stood in the courtyard, gently called out, his voice not loud, very polite.
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from a room straight ahead.
"Who is it?"
Soon after, an elderly man dressed in a long robe, appearing to be in his fifties or sixties, walked out from that room. Surprisingly, the long robe the old man was wearing was white and spotlessly clean, making him look quite spirited. This was completely different from the other alchemists Lin Feng had in mind. Alchemy is a demanding task; wearing white to do it, this old man indeed has a personality.
"Alchemist Di, good day. I am the owner of the Holy Pill Pavilion in Ling City. I would like to invite you to serve as a full-time alchemist at our Holy Pill Pavilion." Looking at Di Guang, Lin Feng directly stated his purpose, aiming to show his sincerity to Di Guang.
"Full-time alchemist? No way." Di Guang wasn’t sure what it was about at first, but upon hearing Lin Feng’s proposal, he immediately refused. What a joke, even when Lingxiao Pavilion invited him to serve as a wartime alchemist, he did not go. How could he possibly go to the Holy Pill Pavilion to be a full-time alchemist? That was absolutely impossible.
After finishing his words, Di Guang was about to return to that house and continue his own matters. But just as he turned around, Lin Feng spoke again.
"Alchemist Di, don’t refuse right away. Why not talk with us first?" Lin Feng didn’t want it to end like this; he had to bring Di Guang to the Holy Pill Pavilion as a full-time alchemist. How could he just let Di Guang go?
"There’s nothing to talk about." Di Guang didn’t even turn his head, directly answering.
In response, Lin Feng smiled and didn’t say much. Watching Di Guang enter that room, he waved to Tao Tao, indicating they could sit by that small wooden table. He took out a tea set from his space ring, chatting with Tao Tao in the courtyard while waiting.
"Brother Lin, looking for this person to become the full-time alchemist of the Holy Pill Pavilion—do you think it’s feasible?" Tao Tao asked Lin Feng while sipping tea. She felt that Di Guang was quite principled, with such a resolute tone, seemingly leaving no room for negotiation. Besides, Tao Tao was somewhat skeptical of this person’s capability. After all, truly capable alchemists would all be stationed in various forces, rarely living independently outside.
"Of course it’s feasible. If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t come here. Don’t worry, this Di Guang was recommended by Gu Tianhai." Lin Feng looked at Tao Tao, smiling as he spoke. Such people often have peculiar temperaments and find it hard to integrate into sect forces, so Di Guang being like this was not surprising at all. However, he believed in Gu Tianhai’s judgment. If Di Guang’s ability was insufficient, Gu Tianhai wouldn’t have introduced him.
"But this alchemist’s temper is indeed not very good..." Tao Tao still expressed her concern. Such a temper was really hard to deal with.
"Do you remember our Alchemist Yao Nan in Xucheng? Isn’t his temper peculiar?" Lin Feng replied with a smile.
"Well..." Being reminded by Lin Feng, Tao Tao immediately thought of Yao Nan. As Lin Feng noted, Yao Nan was also a person with a strong personality. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so passionate and obsessive. Looking at Lin Feng, she seemed to understand what he meant.
"Let’s not talk about this anymore; let’s chat about other things to pass the time." Looking at the beautiful Tao Tao, Lin Feng said with a smile, feeling they might have to wait here for a long time, so without finding something to do, it would be really boring.
"Alright then, Brother Lin, can you tell me about things on Earth?"
"Sure, what do you want to hear?"
"Brother Lin, on Earth, do you have parents and siblings?"
"Yes, I have parents and relatives, but I’m an only child in our family."
"Then... have you started a family on Earth?"
"I’ve started a family, but on the surface, I only have one wife; the others do not have any official status."
"Only one wife? Others?"
"There are eleven women with me, but the law on Earth only allows one, so the others can only remain without status."
"You... you actually have so many women!"
"Actually, I didn’t want to, but this was all their choice."
...
Tao Tao chatted with Lin Feng, curious about Lin Feng’s life on Earth. When she heard that Lin Feng had eleven women, she was immediately unable to remain calm. Though she guessed Lin Feng must have started a family, she didn’t expect there to be so many women. Was it possible that Lin Feng was a womanizer? Otherwise, how could it be like this?
But immediately, Tao Tao denied this idea, because from her interactions with Lin Feng until now, she didn’t feel that Lin Feng was flirtatious at all. On the contrary, Lin Feng seemed indifferent to everything. Even though she was almost always with him every day, Lin Feng had never made any advances towards her. Evidently, Lin Feng’s character was not like that. Comparing it with herself, she seemed to gradually comprehend the thoughts of Lin Feng’s women.
And Lin Feng deliberately talked about these things with Tao Tao because he already understood Tao Tao’s thoughts, wanting her to know about the women behind him, leaving all choices to Tao Tao. This way, when all the women show up in the future, Tao Tao wouldn’t have any doubts...
