Chapter 13: Heaven-Raising Flagon!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

Soon, the turbid wine on the stove began to boil. Liu Changgong looked at the fire and saw that it was ready.
He took out an ancient-looking flagon from his sleeve. The flagon was no different from an ordinary flagon, but it looked like it had been there for a long time.
Then, he took out the wine glasses and the mixing utensils and began to slowly mix the wine.
The mixing steps were neither too fast nor too slow. They would move at the right time. If they were too rushed, there would be too much water, and if the wine fragrance was not strong, the taste would be bland. If they were too slow, the strong smell of the wine would rush straight to their heads, making them quickly drunk. Drinking wine was the best way to maintain a slightly tipsy state.
Floating, isolated and independent, spiraling, ascending to immortality!
After Liu Changgong had completed all the steps, he nodded his head in satisfaction, without any mistakes.
He poured the wine into the wine pot and waited for a while. When he felt the temperature of the wine pot was just right, he felt the temperature of the wine pot.
He placed the wine cup on the table and began to slowly pour the wine.
“Please drink!”
It was finally ready!
Huang Ze and the others could not wait any longer when they saw that they could finally drink. They quickly thanked him, picked up the wine cup, and prepared to drink.
Zhu Zhao was not in such a hurry. He probably knew that he had to observe the color of the wine cup and the fusion of the wine before drinking. He picked it up and smelled it for a while before looking at the wine in the wine cup.
The color of the wine in the glass was alluring. The wine was golden and amber in color. There were also impurities caused by grains that had not been fully fermented during the brewing process. These impurities slowly circulated in the glass. Zhu Zhao looked at the Dao that was emitted when it circulated, he knew that this was one of the opportunities given by his senior.
Hence, Zhu Zhao began to study it in detail. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the things in it were unfathomable. In just a short while, he could already feel several Daos flowing and emitting from it. Hence, he became even more immersed in it…
It was just a cup of wine. Huang Ze and the others beside him had long finished drinking it. When they drank it, they only felt a warm current slowly circulating in their bodies. They felt that the inside and outside of their souls had been washed away, and the heaviness in their Dao hearts had been swept away, they felt a lot more relaxed.
He could even feel that his cultivation base, which was already at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, had increased a lot.
“Hu–”
He raised his head and saw that a few juniors were still with their eyes closed, immersed in the cleansing of their souls.
Daoist Master Huang Ze felt that he had gained a lot. Just as he was about to have another glass, he saw that the wine pot had been emptied. Just as he felt a little regretful, he saw his old friend beside him staring at the wine in his glass. The wine in the glass had not been touched yet, so he asked, “Zhu Zhao, why aren’t you drinking?”
“Ah–” Zhu Zhao came out from his state of epiphany after being yelled at like that. He knew that it was Huang Ze, this old ghost, who had woken him up from his epiphany, so he looked at Huang Ze angrily.
“You Pig Bajie, you ate the ginseng fruit yourself and didn’t know the taste. Now you’re bothering me? The owner’s wine has a hidden universe in it. I was almost able to see through it, but you interrupted me…”
After saying that, Zhu Zhao once again put his mind into the wine, but he couldn’t find that feeling no matter how hard he tried. He could only drink the wine.
“The owner’s wine has the effect of purifying the soul and advancing the Dao heart. It’s a heavenly opportunity for these juniors…” Zhu Zhao felt the effect of the wine after drinking it, and then he seemed to think of something bad. He said angrily to Huang Ze, “More importantly, Senior clearly gave an even bigger opportunity in the wine. The wine contains all kinds of insights about the Great Dao. You picked the seeds and threw away the watermelon. You even woke me up.”
Huang Ze also knew that he might have ruined his good friend’s opportunity and felt a little ashamed of this, so he didn’t say anything.
Seeing the masters’ awkwardness, the juniors said, “This kind of wine is already very good, and Senior definitely won’t leave for a short period of time. There will still be such an opportunity. Moreover, with just this cup of wine, at least our future cultivation will be much smoother. How can you say that we picked a seed and lost a watermelon?”
The eyes of the juniors were already very happy. After saying that, they looked at Liu Changgong and respectfully bowed to Liu Changgong as a junior.
“Thank you for your hospitality, Senior!”
Even Little Fox, who had just enjoyed a glass of wine with him, was full of joy. The internal injury on her soul had almost completely healed. Such a glass of wine was worth a lot of elixirs and cultivation.
“Wu wu wu–”
Little Fox approached Liu Changgong and rubbed against his leg.
Liu Changgong saw that this was the first time that Little Fox was so close to him. He was very happy and carried her up, gently touching her leg.
He casually said, “It’s nothing. It’s just an ordinary cup of wine. There’s no need to thank me.”
Zhu Zhao and Huang Ze were deeply moved when they heard Liu Changgong’s words.
The senior was really concerned about the juniors. He was really considerate of the juniors like them, and he really spared no effort in helping them.
They didn’t expect to meet such a great cultivator for the first time in their life. He was actually so amiable and approachable.
“I wonder what kind of water Senior used to brew the wine?”
“Yes, it clearly looks like very ordinary wine. I don’t know why Senior’s is so different. It seems that the various spirit wines we drank in the past are just some rotten water.” The few of them couldn’t help but be curious and asked this and that question.
“Actually, these things are just ordinary things. What really makes them turn rotten into magic is actually this wine flask,” Liu Changgong answered casually.
“Wine flask?”
The few of them were stunned and looked at the unremarkable wine flask on the table.
The few of them looked left and right and didn’t see anything strange.
However, Zhu Zhao soon found something different.
He picked up the wine pot and slowly injected a trace of spiritual energy into it. It was like a clay ox entering the sea, without any reaction.
This was a little strange. The Dharmic powers of a Dharma Idol cultivator were extremely pure. Even if it was a top-grade spiritual artifact or even a profound artifact, they would be able to tell what was different.
In the world of cultivators, the Dharmic artifacts of these cultivators were divided into spirit artifacts, dharmic artifacts, profound artifacts, immortal artifacts, and so on.
Spirit artifacts could only be used by novice cultivators, and Dharmic artifacts were even higher. As for Dharmic artifacts, profound artifacts could only be activated by Nascent Soul stage Dharmic avatars.
However, as a Dharma Idol cultivator, Venerable Zhu Zhao didn’t have the slightest reaction when he injected spiritual energy into this wine pot. It was simply inconceivable. This meant that this wine pot was…
