Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 152: Peach Blossom

In this world full of constant crises, Gao Xian encountered a cultivator who insisted on drinking with him as soon as they met.

On the other hand, Gao Xian also liked the carefree and unrestrained demeanor of Yun Qiushui.

He lived cautiously in this world, afraid of making any mistakes.

It was precisely because of this that he particularly liked Zhou Yuling's lively and charming personality.

It was something he lacked and something that was lacking in this world - a beautiful and vibrant color.

Facing Yun Qiushui's invitation, Gao Xian didn't hesitate for long and readily agreed.

"Fellow Daoist is in the mood for drinking, and I am more than willing to accompany you."

Yun Qiushui was delighted. He took the initiative to invite Gao Xian to drink, partly because those two lines of poetry were truly moving.

Secondly, Gao Xian, dressed in green with a sword at his side, standing alone by the river, his back revealing a deep sense of melancholy and loneliness, possessed a unique and extraordinary charm.

If Gao Xian had hesitated or shown fear, Yun Qiushui would have lost interest in talking to him.

Yun Qiushui laughed and said, "Today, we won't return until we're drunk."

Yun Qiushui brought Gao Xian to the busiest street in Dajiangfang. The hotels and liquor stores were all closed, and everywhere was dimly lit.

Yun Qiushui immediately spotted the red lantern hanging above the door of Liuxianglou and went over to call out loudly.

Gao Xian, who was following behind, looked a bit strange. Was it appropriate to drink flower wine with a cultivator he had just met?!

During his time at Feima Market, he often wandered around Feihua Courtyard, but only to enjoy the lively atmosphere and watch some beautiful women perform. In Lianyun City, he was busy refining pills and cultivating every day, with no interest in going out to play.

He had been in this world for four years and had never drunk flower wine before!

He never expected that in this unfamiliar place of Dajiangfang, he would be drinking flower wine with a cultivator he had just met.

Soon, people came out of Liuxianglou. There was a middle-aged woman dressed in gorgeous clothes, accompanied by an elderly woman.

The middle-aged woman introduced herself as Yanniang, the manager of Liuxianglou. Of course, according to her, she was the eldest sister, and all the women here were her younger sisters.

The old woman held a lantern and led the way, while Yanniang accompanied Yun Qiushui and introduced everything attentively.

"Our girls here have all been instructed by the experts of the Endless Pleasure Sect. They are all proficient in the art of harmonious union, and they are skilled in singing, dancing, and playing musical instruments..."

Yanniang had sharp eyes and could immediately tell that Yun Qiushui had a noble identity. Although he spoke politely and courteously, his inherent pride and arrogance couldn't be concealed.

Gao Xian, who was standing beside him, was handsome and elegant, with extraordinary bearing. His robe and sword were also extraordinary. He was also a formidable cultivator.

Compared to Yun Qiushui, however, he lacked that kind of carefree and unrestrained demeanor that came from a prestigious background.

But Yanniang didn't dare to neglect Gao Xian and occasionally offered a few words of praise.

Yun Qiushui didn't pay much attention to Yanniang's attentiveness. He had been talking to Gao Xian all along.

They arrived at a spacious hall deep in the courtyard, illuminated by countless precious luminous stones, radiating a splendid and dazzling light.

As soon as Gao Xian entered the hall, he felt a cool breeze gently brushing against him, sweeping away the heat from outside.

Yun Qiushui naturally took the main seat and casually ordered, "Bring out all your girls..."

Seeing Yun Qiushui's experienced manner, Gao Xian realized that he was actually an old player!

Just Cloud Autumn Water should be less than twenty years old, but he is already a Foundation Building cultivator. How could he have time to go out and have fun?

You should know that a place like Flowing Fragrance Tower not only consumes spiritual stones, but also consumes the Primordial Spirit of cultivators.

Cultivators who play in such places are either hopeless in the Dao or entertaining guests.

Guests of Cloud Autumn Water's age are rarely seen.

Cloud Autumn Water is still explaining to Gao Xian, "This place is remote, so there shouldn't be any outstanding beauties here. Fellow Daoist, please don't mind."

Gao Xian smiled, "I have always been focused on cultivation, and this is my first time coming to such a place. If there is anything inappropriate, please don't laugh, Fellow Daoist."

"Hey, don't say that."

Cloud Autumn Water said indifferently, "Fellow Daoist is so extraordinary and elegant. The women here are just ordinary and vulgar. They are only here to sing and play music, just for some liveliness. There's no need to pay attention to them."

He took out a yellow gourd from his sleeve and placed it on the table, "Today, let's drink Peach Blossom Wine."

"This is wine brewed by my teacher, with a unique recipe, aged for a hundred years. Originally, Peach Blossom Wine has a soft and light taste, but after a hundred years of aging, this softness has become mellow and long-lasting. It's really good wine..."

Cloud Autumn Water is very particular, not using any wine utensils on the table. He took out two delicate porcelain bowls with a green face and white base from his sleeve.

There are several buds of blooming peach blossoms painted inside the wine bowls. The pale red Peach Blossom Wine is poured into them, and the buds slowly unfold and bloom in the gentle ripples, as if they are stretching out from the wine bowls.

Gao Xian has lived in Zhu Qianniang's house for a year and has also witnessed the extravagant life of a Foundation Building cultivator. It can be said that all kinds of furnishings are extremely exquisite.

Qingluo Carriage, as a means of transportation, is also a good magical tool.

Cloud Autumn Water's attention to detail and refinement far surpasses that of the Zhu family.

Not to mention anything else, just this wine gourd and this wine contain abundant spiritual energy.

Including the two wine bowls, they can change because of the wine, full of spiritual charm.

As the fragrance of Peach Blossom Wine diffused, Gao Xian felt refreshed and his whole body became clear and comfortable just by smelling it.

He was even more surprised that the quality of this wine exceeded his expectations. It should have reached the level of a second-grade spiritual object, or even higher.

Gao Xian didn't know the origin of this Cloud Autumn Water. How could he casually offer such precious spiritual wine to a stranger?

Or maybe there is something in this wine, and the other party is trying to harm him by inviting him to drink?

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world.

Gao Xian looked at the rosy Peach Blossom Wine and couldn't help but hesitate. He thought that he would be drinking the wine from Flowing Fragrance Tower, and it's unlikely that they would tamper with the wine in such a place.

As a result, Cloud Autumn Water directly took out the Peach Blossom Wine.

If he doesn't drink it, he would appear petty. If he drinks it, it would be a gamble on the other party's character.

Gao Xian is cautious by nature and would not take risks in such uncertain situations.

On the other hand, he and Cloud Autumn Water hit it off at first sight. Refusing the other party would disappoint this sense of camaraderie.

Finally, Cloud Autumn Water has an extraordinary identity and a proud temperament. He is also a Foundation Building cultivator. Even if someone wants to kill him, they shouldn't use despicable means.

Although Gao Xian is certain that the other party has no ill intentions, he is still unwilling to take risks. He thought of the cormorant bird, which can temporarily store fish in its throat pouch.

He can learn from the cormorant and create a temporary pouch in his throat to store the wine.

With the perfect transformation technique of a Grandmaster, Gao Xian can freely change his body structure and state.

It is very simple for him to create a pouch.

In this way, the Peach Blossom Wine will be poisonous and unable to circulate throughout the body's organs, thus causing no harm to him.

He also has the ability to rejuvenate, so even if there is something wrong, he can quickly restore his body to its peak state.

In this way, he can both avoid offending his friend and protect himself. It can be considered a win-win situation.

As Gao Xian's thoughts turned, he had already come up with a plan.

Yun Qiushui didn't know what Gao Xian was thinking, he smiled and raised his cup to toast Gao Xian, "Fellow Daoist Gao, let's drink three cups for those two lines of poetry!"

"Alright."

Gao Xian raised his cup in agreement and immediately drank the cup of Peach Blossom Wine.

Yun Qiushui saw Gao Xian's enthusiasm and his eyes flickered with a hint of surprise.

On the other hand, he also admired Gao Xian's boldness.

There are too many guards and calculations between people. He knew that this was inevitable, but he was extremely disgusted by it.

He and Gao Xian met by chance, and they became acquainted because of a poem. This was very interesting and elegant.

Yun Qiushui liked this way of making friends, and he liked this kind of friend.

What he feared the most was Gao Xian being calculative and ruining the carefree and casual relationship between them.

As a result, Gao Xian's reaction satisfied him greatly.

The maid beside them was very observant and quickly picked up the wine gourd to pour wine for Yun Qiushui and Gao Xian.

After drinking three cups in a row, a peach-like blush appeared on Yun Qiushui's white jade-like cheeks, and his star-like eyes became slightly trance-like.

The Peach Blossom Wine in the Eight Treasure Gourd had actually been fermenting for three hundred years.

With his cultivation level, even drinking three cups in a row would inevitably make him a little tipsy.

Yun Qiushui glanced at Gao Xian and found that Gao Xian's complexion was unchanged, and his eyes were shining brightly without any signs of being drunk.

He couldn't help but be a little surprised. Could Gao Xian really withstand such a strong wine? Something doesn't seem right.

It should be known that the Peach Blossom Wine contains various spiritual substances, and after three hundred years of fermentation, its spiritual power is so strong that even a Foundation Building cultivator would find it difficult to handle, let alone Gao Xian, a Qi Refining cultivator.

Yun Qiushui was a little puzzled, but he smiled and raised his cup again to invite Gao Xian to drink together, "Under the moonlight, by the riverside, Fellow Daoist stands alone, drifting like a celestial being, such elegance and demeanor are heart-wrenching."

"This cup is for Fellow Daoist."

"Embarrassed, embarrassed, too kind."

Gao Xian had a thick skin, but being praised by Yun Qiushui like this still made him feel a little embarrassed.

However, this noble and imposing young man really knew how to speak. Even though he knew that it was just a casual compliment, Gao Xian was delighted by the praise and felt as if he could fly.

The two of them drank three cups in a row again, and when Yun Qiushui saw that Gao Xian's expression remained unchanged, he knew what was going on.

He wasn't angry, but instead felt that Gao Xian was shrewd and could take care of his friend's face. He was a remarkable person!

The girls from the Flowing Fragrance Tower all came out, dressed in their finest and stood in a row in front.

When Yun Qiushui's gaze swept over, a group of beautiful women either smiled with pursed lips, exchanged flirtatious glances, or half-covered their faces in a coy manner.

Nearly twenty beautiful women, each with their own charm, made Gao Xian's head spin.

Cloud Qiushui casually swept his gaze around and said, "Let them all stay. Arrange for singing and dancing, and bring a few clever and obedient companions for drinking..."

Yan Niang was a bit surprised that such a large group of people were staying, and each person would require at least five spirit stones.

She looked at Cloud Qiushui's demeanor but didn't dare to say much. For someone like him, one or two hundred spirit stones were nothing worth fussing over.

Yan Niang immediately clapped her hands lightly and called the many girls over, assigning them tasks.

Four relatively dignified and elegant women sat on either side of Cloud Qiushui and Gao Xian.

They were gentle in their demeanor, elegant in their speech, and very clever and obedient. They were skilled in flattery and compliments, and were able to liven up the atmosphere.

Several other women played the flute, the pipa, and the zither. Amidst the melodious music, a group of gorgeously dressed women gracefully danced.

These women had slender figures and moved with gentle elegance. They even displayed illusions while dancing.

Peach blossoms bloomed out of thin air, and these women danced like butterflies fluttering among the peach blossoms, creating a beautiful scene of competing beauty.

A woman in white robes sang a clear and lively tune on the side, filled with a carefree and wanton joy.

Gao Xian was greatly surprised. He often went to Feihua Courtyard, where there were also singing and dancing, but it mainly involved beautiful women on high platforms, using their charm to sell themselves. The songs they sang were also provocative tunes.

The singing and dancing at Liuxiang Tower, however, were of a very high standard. The coordination of spells was also clever, and there were even changes in lighting to match.

The design of the dance, the level of performance, even surpassed the large-scale gala he had seen before.

Gao Xian couldn't help but sigh inwardly. No wonder cultivators liked to come here to have fun. These enchanting women really knew how to entertain!

Especially the woman singing, her voice was melodious and clear, sometimes soaring into the sky with a clever and smooth tone, and sometimes ethereal and continuous in a low pitch. It was truly wonderful.

Among the group of women in colorful dresses, the woman in white robes stood out, leaving a deep impression.

Gao Xian carefully observed the woman singing and suddenly asked the woman next to him, "Who is the woman singing so beautifully?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the woman's bright eyes. She immediately turned and smiled softly, saying, "This woman is called Jiaoniang, and she is a famous flower in our tower. You have a good eye, esteemed guest..."

Gao Xian thought of a poem from his past life and recited it casually, "Peach blossoms shallow and deep, seem to apply light and heavy makeup. Falling randomly like a red rain, brushing against the white clothes."

"Leaving no trace, yet exuding elegance, a great poem!"

Cloud Qiushui praised greatly. This poem praised the beauty of each woman, with their own unique charm, floating and elegant like a red rain, and also pointed out that the woman in white robes remained calm and stood out.

This poem was simple yet elegant, with a unique charm.

Cloud Qiushui laughed heartily, "This woman's singing voice is indeed captivating. No wonder Fellow Daoist is fond of her."

"To be able to meet her tonight is truly a fortunate encounter!"

Gao Xian was greatly moved. He couldn't touch Qiuniang, Yuling, or Huang Ying. They were either forbidden or too close to him.

When going out to have fun, professionals were the best. He could have fun while she earned money, killing two birds with one stone.

However, he was only slightly moved. He had other reasons for being interested in the woman in white robes. Besides, he was pure and devoted to the Dao, not that kind of person.

He explained, "I am devoted to the Dao and have no such intentions."

Cloud Qiushui laughed, "The pleasure between men and women is the great way of humanity. As cultivators, indulging in desire is indeed not right, but abstaining from desire is also greatly wrong."

"Do what should be done, stop where it should stop, and loosen up while remaining focused. That is the right way!"

Cloud Qiushui beckoned to Yan Niang and said with a smile, "My friend is interested in this songstress, and it is also her good fortune..."
