Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 2244
2244 A Fleeting Dream, Devotee Of Wine, Make A Friend
“Sect Leader, that is such a smart move!”
The Jiufang Tribe Master was in awe when he saw Chu Kuangren keeping the entire mining node in an unknown space.
“Go get your people and gather them. I’ll bring them all together,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
“Right away, Sect Leader.”
Then, all the people of the Jiufang Tribe gathered and entered Chu Kuangren’s Pocket Universe.
His trip to the Nine Ways Spirit World was a harvest.
He was satisfied with the spoils he got.
Next, he continued exploring the spirit world with Nuwa for a few days and got some decent treasures and Opportunities of Fortune before he left.
…
“Congratulations, Host! You’ve acquired the Transcendent-tier prize, a hundred jars of A Fleeting Dream.”
A Fleeting Dream? What could that be?
A jar? A jar of wine?
On the way back, Chu Kuangren acquired a Transcendent-tier prize. Curious about what it was, he took the jar of A Fleeing Dream out.
It was a black jar the size of four to five palms wide.
There was a piece of red paper on it, which was used to seal the top. On it were multiple mystical runes that looked like restriction seals.
A jar of wine required a seal?
A jar of wine was considered a transcendent-tier prize?
Chu Kuangren was intrigued by the A Fleeting Dream.
He opened the seal.
As soon as the seal was opened, the rich fragrance filled the entire battleship.
The moment Nuwa picked up the smell, she started to feel tipsy and sleepy.
“S-Sect Leader, what wine is that?”
Nuwa shook her head and channeled the Great Dao energy in her to expel the drunkenness. She looked at the jar of wine in Chu Kuangren’s hand in shock.
“Uh, A Fleeting Dream,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
Then, he took a cup and poured himself some.
It was just one cup, but he already started to feel tipsy.
Even with his current cultivation level, he could barely handle the wine.
His head got heavy and dizzy.
As his consciousness started to fade, he felt like he had returned to the Pan Gu Universe and saw Gu Linglong.
She was smiling at him.
Beside her were Lan Yu, Chu Hong, and the others.
At that point, he had reached the end of his cultivation path and became invincible. Hence, he returned to the Pan Gu Universe and lived a normal life.
He worked a fixed routine and even had a few children.
Lan Yu remained by his side, and he knew what her feelings were.
He also had another wedding with Gu Linglong.
The three of them lived a happy life.
Some time later, Chu Kuangren opened his blurry eyes. He looked at the cup in his hand and chuckled. “So, this is why it’s called A Fleeting Dream.”
It was a dream that lasted a short while, but it felt like he lived an entire lifetime.
“Interesting.”
Chu Kuangren had a few more cups to savor the taste.
Before he knew it, he had drank half of it.
Soon, the dreams from the wine could no longer affect him. After drinking half of it, Chu Kuangren felt that his Daoist core had been perfected.
“Sect Leader, is it nice?”
Nuwa was interested.
“Yeah. Here, have a taste.”
Chu Kuangren raised the jar of wine.
Nuwa took a cup and let Chu Kuangren pour her some.
It was just one cup, but Nuwa’s face turned as red as an apple.
When she passed out, her human legs reverted to a snake’s body.
“Haha! She’s drunk,” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
A Fleeting Dream was not for everyone.
Nuwa might be a Grand Dao cultivator, but after one cup, she would at least be drunk for years, and the dream would last countless times longer.
However, it was also an Opportunity of Fortune for her.
When she woke up from her dream, her Daoist core was strengthened.
“It’s intoxicating.”
Then, a middle-aged man with white hair and a beard appeared on the deck. He stared at the jar of wine in Chu Kuangren’s hand, drooling profusely. His eyes were fixed on the jar, and he yearned for a taste of the wine.
Chu Kuangren narrowed his glimmering eyes.
For the man to be able to approach the ship without anyone, even him, noticing, the man’s cultivation must be extraordinary.
Besides, he carried a similar presence to Nuwa, a friendly presence to humans.
Was he a Human Guardian? But which side was he on?
“Kid, can you give me a taste of your wine?” the man said with a happy smile.
Upon hearing the man, Chu Kuangren raised the jar and finished the remaining wine in the jar.
He drank so fast that the wine spilled all over his robes.
“Burp!”
Chu Kuangren burped. His face blushed as he said, “There’s no more.”
He then tossed the empty jar aside and looked at the man with tipsy but clear eyes.
“Y-You…”
The middle-aged man looked at Chu Kuangren and then the empty jar. It was painful for him to watch.
He took the empty jar for a sniff. The fragrance from the jar was enough to intoxicate him, which fueled his pain.
“I’ve traveled the Infiniverse to taste all the wine, and this is a first for me. This wine is beautiful, yet I couldn’t have a taste of it. What a pity.”
He asked Chu Kuangren, “Kid, where did you get this?”
“An Opportunity of Fortune, and there’s only one,” Chu Kuangren said with his face blushing.
“Too bad.”
The man sighed and wanted to leave.
The man did not try to hurt Chu Kuangren even though he did not get to taste the wine, which changed Chu Kuangren’s mind.
He then took another jar of A Fleeting Dream out.
“Senior, I actually have another one.”
“What?”
The middle-aged man turned around and stared at the jar of wine with shimmering eyes. He wanted to snatch it from Chu Kuangren, but Chu Kuangren dodged him.
“Senior, this is a great wine. I can’t just give it to you.”
The middle-aged man pondered. “You’re right. It is rare to have such great wine. How about I exchange ten jars of Sky Dragon Drunk with you?”
He took ten jars out and said, “The Sky Dragon Drunk was brewed by all kinds of Immortal Herbs. A mortal can be immortalized with just one sip, and even a Primordial or a Grand Dao cultivator can increase their cultivation by drinking it constantly. What do you say?”
“Not enough. It’s only valuable when it’s scarce. There are only two jars of A Fleeting Dream, yet you offer ten jars of Sky Dragon Drunk, so it means you have more. The more you have, the lower its value. It’s not the same.”
“You’re being unreasonable,” the middle-aged man said.
He was upset. His Sky Dragon Drunk was sought after by many, yet it sounded like water to the kid.
However, A Fleeting Dream was indeed intoxicating, and he was fond of it.
He sighed. He wanted to exchange it for more treasures, but no matter what offer he made, Chu Kuangren rejected it.
“Kid, you’re being unreasonable. You don’t want the Sky Dragon Drunk, the Chaos Supreme Treasure, or the herbs and metals, so what do you actually want?”
The man started to lose his patience. Even though he had a powerful cultivation base, he was losing his temper.
“Haha. I just want to make a friend.”
Chu Kuangren smiled and tossed the jar of A Fleeting Dream to the man.
