Chapter 11: Sharing Grand Dao Wander
Shao Shan was completely shocked at this moment.
The taste of this wine was exquisite beyond measure, the finest he had ever encountered in his life.
Any twenty-year aged wine compared to this was like a cheap counterfeit blend.
And the potency was truly strong. He considered himself a seasoned drinker, yet one sip left him dazed.
So he couldn't wait to ask He Zhi what this wine was called and where it came from.
"This wine is called Grand Dao Wander."
Seeing Shao Shan's reaction, He Zhi answered with a light smile.
Spiritual Wine was divided into many types, and Grand Dao Wander was one of them.
According to the records in that book "Essential Knowledge for Cultivators," although cultivators desperately sought the Dao, they often failed to attain it, leaving their hearts troubled.
So they brewed this kind of Spiritual Wine to seek intoxication.
One sip of this wine would intoxicate both body and spirit, allowing one to glimpse the mysteries of the Dao.
Of course, the so-called mysteries of the Dao seen while drinking were all fake.
It was just drowning sorrows in wine.
"Grand Dao Wander? What a great name! Just now I think I really saw the Dao!"
Hearing this, Shao Shan's eyes immediately lit up as he boasted shamelessly.
Though the so-called "Dao" he saw was all about chasing after his goddess and such...
Then he carefully took another sip, revealing an intoxicated expression.
Then another sip, and another, and yet another...
Unable to control himself, Shao Shan drank the entire cup of Spiritual Wine clean.
His face turned the color of pig liver.
"Brother Zhi!"
Shao Shan hooked his arm around He Zhi's neck, slurring his words loudly, clearly already drunk.
"You're drunk, rest for a bit."
He Zhi said helplessly.
He hadn't drunk a single drop, just wanting to see how potent Grand Dao Wander was.
Now it seemed very potent indeed.
This guy Shao Shan could normally drink two or three bottles of Chinese liquor, but now one cup had him confused.
Truly worthy of being Spiritual Wine.
"I'm not drunk!"
Shao Shan shouted, then suddenly burst into tears.
"My dad's been pressuring me lately, insisting I start a company. I have social anxiety, I only know how to play games, drink, and eat barbecue. How can I run a company?"
"And there's my goddess. I've been chasing her for eight years and still haven't won her over. I'm suffering..."
The drunk Shao Shan slurred his words, pouring out his grievances to He Zhi, making He Zhi shake his head.
The power of this Spiritual Wine was truly great.
As for the troubles of a second-generation wealthy kid, He Zhi couldn't understand them.
Starting a company counted as a trouble? He really couldn't bear to listen.
However, Shao Shan did reveal some of his own embarrassing stories, which He Zhi found quite entertaining.
Finally, after crying for an hour, Shao Shan regained some clarity.
Then he staggered about, eating and taking things, stuffing two bottles of Spiritual Wine into his pockets before heading out the door to go home.
Only then did He Zhi pick up his wine cup and take a light sip.
Immediately, he too felt like he was floating on air.
He seemed to see his leg disability cured, and himself mastering immortal techniques, flying and escaping through the earth, allowing him and his sister to live a wonderful life.
However, He Zhi had already begun cultivation and had some resistance, so he quickly regained clarity.
He took a bite of Spiritual Fruit, finding it refreshingly sweet, especially with a clear energy that made him feel as if he were in a primeval forest, his whole body feeling incredibly fresh.
"Indeed quite good."
He Zhi nodded, but didn't continue eating and drinking.
He knew that having just encountered cultivation and gained hope for the future, now was not the time to indulge.
"I'll send some Spiritual Fruit to my sister too."
These Spiritual Fruits and Spiritual Wine could be enjoyed by ordinary people too. Not only were they extremely delicious, but they could strengthen the body, surpassing countless supplements.
He definitely wouldn't give his sister the Spiritual Wine, lest the young girl get drunk and something happen.
But he could send some Spiritual Fruit.
He opened the app, preparing to send a package.
"She can't eat too much Spiritual Fruit either. These things contain some spiritual energy, and if ordinary people eat too much, their bodies won't be able to handle the nourishment."
Thinking this, He Zhi only selected about ten Spiritual Fruits for his sister and packed them up.
There were still quite a few left, but he stored them all in the game storage and didn't take them out.
He naturally wasn't being stingy with his sister, but since she hadn't started cultivating yet, she couldn't eat too much Spiritual Fruit.
Soon, a delivery person came and took away the package of Spiritual Fruit.
Then He Zhi opened his phone and sent his sister another message:
"I sent you some fruit, remember to eat it soon, don't let it spoil."
He attached the tracking number.
This time, his sister replied quickly, apparently finally seeing the message.
"Got it! I do eat fruit regularly, you really didn't need to send any."
"You should eat more fruit too, bro. Don't worry so much. Your little sister has grown up and can take care of herself."
"I'm busy right now, gotta go!"
His sister's lively voice echoed in the room.
He Zhi smiled and put away his phone.
"As for cultivation matters, I'll wait until I've practiced for a while and gained some experience before considering telling my sister."
He Zhi thought again about having his sister cultivate.
But since he himself hadn't figured it out yet, he'd wait a bit longer.
Then after casually eating something, He Zhi began cultivating again.
He had always been diligent, and now having just obtained a cultivation method, he wished he could cultivate 24 hours a day.
Striving to heal his legs as soon as possible so he could go out freely.
He Zhi quickly entered meditation. This cultivation session lasted until the next day.
He didn't know, however, that the people of Qingxuan Sect were already anxiously waiting.
A whole month had passed—why had the Grand Elder shown no activity? No response to their requests, and he wasn't accepting offerings anymore?
Could something have happened?
It turned out that while He Zhi had only cultivated for one night, in the Cultivation World, an entire month had passed!
On Shao Shan's side, he took a taxi back to his family's mansion, still not sober.
He mumbled incoherently for a while until late at night when the bright moon hung high, then suddenly regained clarity.
Once awake, he was completely clear-headed, without any headache or hangover.
Moreover, he felt relaxed all over, as if years of accumulated psychological pressure had been completely released. His entire state was incredibly good!
"What truly excellent wine!"
"Brother Zhi is so good to me, even letting me take two bottles home."
Shao Shan couldn't help but praise again. This wine was really too good.
He had never imagined before that such excellent wine existed in the world!
Not only did it taste good, but it was also beneficial to body and mind.
At this moment, Shao Shan felt that all the famous wines he'd drunk before were garbage.
Previously, Shao Shan had thought He Zhi was poor and couldn't produce anything good.
But he'd been thoroughly proven wrong.
He didn't know how He Zhi had obtained this "Grand Dao Wander," yet was generous enough to share it.
Unfortunately, Shao Shan had been too drunk earlier and hadn't had time to ask.
"I wonder if I said anything crazy after getting drunk?"
"My past as a simp..."
After his exclamations, Shao Shan's face suddenly turned green, feeling something was amiss.
It seemed he had told He Zhi some of his embarrassing stories earlier...
Ring ring ring!
His phone suddenly rang. Shao Shan looked and saw it was his father calling.
"Son! We're hosting an important figure at Lihao Grand Hotel soon. Someone's been trying to target our Shao Group recently, so we must find backing."
"Go to the wine cellar quickly and bring my treasured seventy-year aged wine. Be extremely careful, don't break it! This wine is crucial. If anything goes wrong, I won't forgive you."
