Chapter 842: The Wine God Gourd!

The path ahead manifested with grand aura, embodying the principles of heaven and earth, as if a supreme being stood within.

Yang Tian was very nervous; the Heaven-Mending Cauldron had just been taken away by her directly. This divine ability was far too powerful, leaving no room for resistance.

This cauldron was of great importance—it was his life-bound treasure, and it also contained a vast amount of merit. It was hard to tell if she might covet it.

Yuan Xia's mind was tense. This cauldron was the precious vessel that had saved Xin Yu's life. If it were taken, Yang Tian would probably go mad.

"She probably won't take it. For a strong cultivator like her, the greatest fear is incurring karmic debt. The karma from this merit is immense, especially for our kind," Yan Long's voice sounded.

Yang Tian's eyelids twitched slightly. Sure enough, after a while, the cauldron returned.

He breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, cold sweat on his back. Fortunately, she had not been moved by greed; otherwise, there would be no place to find her again. Such a figure could not be judged by common sense.

Suddenly, a white immortal light manifested, radiant with auspicious colors, and a grand aura of the Dao sprang forth, vibrant and full of life, striking directly at Jiu Bingyan's lower abdomen.

Jiu Bingyan's face turned pale. She was frightened. What was this person going to do?

"The karma Yan Long mentioned earlier—could it be that this woman drank the divine wine and now it's being exchanged?" At this moment, such a thought flashed through Yang Tian's mind.

With a crack, Jiu Bingyan's lower abdomen rumbled, and a jade-white gourd was drawn out from within her.

A torrent of divine radiance burst forth, like vast white mist, steaming endlessly. The jade gourd was covered with flowing patterns, looking extraordinary, and on it were engraved four ancient characters.

"I... this..." Seeing this jade gourd, Jiu Bingyan was momentarily stunned. Was this thing taken out from inside her body?

Her mind was in turmoil, but she felt that this jade gourd was extremely important to her, as if it had always been hers.

"Wine God Gourd!" These four ancient characters shook Jiu Bingyan's mind. This must be a supreme treasure left by her ancestors. Her jade hands clenched tightly; if not for Yang Tian's reminder, she would have rushed forward.

The Wine God Gourd floated in the void, radiating divine light, dazzling and ancient, now appearing before Jiu Bingyan's eyes.

"Mine." Jiu Bingyan was all smiles, directly embracing it, as if afraid of losing it.

Before Yang Tian could rejoice, his eyes followed the shifting mist, which vanished into the heavens and earth in the blink of an eye.

"Earth Shrinking to an Inch!" Yang Tian's heart shook violently. This was actually such a terrifying divine ability. The Strange Stone had rated this ability highly, and when it fell into the hands of the demon race, it had been extremely sinister.

Yang Tian was greatly astonished. What was the origin of this woman? Even Yan Long seemed deeply shaken.

That supreme being had left. Yuan Xia's entire body relaxed. The scene just now had been too perilous.

"Brother Yang, Sister Yuan, the cold poison in my body seems to have disappeared." Jiu Bingyan suddenly exclaimed, her rosy lips parting wide.

Not having reached Yang Tian's level, Jiu Bingyan had no idea how terrifying that person was, so she paid little attention.

Yang Tian had experienced too much. Although many mysteries remained unsolved, he knew this was an era where great divine ability cultivators did not emerge, and that person was far too fearsome.

In Jiu Bingyan's hand was a jade-white gourd, emitting white radiance, looking very exquisite.

"This should be a supreme treasure!" Yang Tian muttered inwardly. This item was ninety percent likely a supreme treasure left by the Wine God. Why it had appeared in Jiu Bingyan's hands was unknown.

He had no mind to ponder these things. His figure appeared in the Ancestral Dragon Ring, urgently asking how terrifying that person really was.

"Don't ask about this. It's not something you can know. Knowing too much is detrimental to cultivation," Yan Long said with a grave expression, unwilling to say more.

Hearing this, Yang Tian sighed. What Yan Long said made sense. Knowing too much was indeed detrimental to cultivation. The higher one's cultivation, the more mysteries of heaven and earth one perceived. These were troubles that only those at the top of the cultivation world faced. When the sky falls, there are the tall ones to hold it up.

Yang Tian could vaguely guess a little. This person might be like a madman, having lived for endless ages. He did not know whether there existed an immortal being in this world.

But he knew that cultivation had no end. Even the White-Robed Supreme had his secrets. This world held too many mysteries.

Yang Tian decided not to dwell on it. He murmured, "Now the Fallen Divine Realm is probably sealed off by the major sects. It's hard to enter."

Having just encountered a mysterious expert that made his heart race, Yang Tian was unwilling to stay here longer. He began to traverse the void, approaching the Fallen Divine Realm.

Along the way, Yang Tian also studied the Wine God Gourd for a while. His heart trembled; he even felt a bit envious.

This thing could automatically brew divine wine without any need for refinement, and the brewing speed required no waiting.

Jiu Bingyan smacked her lips, full of joy, and chuckled, "With this gourd, I can produce divine wine endlessly!"

"Nonsense. Do you have that many precious herbs?" Yang Tian rolled his eyes. He only had about two hundred precious herbs, most of which came from Yao Xuan's void ring.

"By the way, Bingyan, do you have the ancient recipes for wine?" Yuan Xia asked with some anticipation. To be honest, there were many spirit herbs in the Ancestral Dragon Ring that were not being used. It would be better to brew them into divine wine for greater effect.

"Yes, I do." Jiu Bingyan nodded. She had many things, but ancient recipes were the most abundant, accumulated by her clan over generations. Some even used precious herbs she had never heard of.

Jiu Bingyan pulled out a large pile of ancient recipes, causing Yang Tian's eyelids to twitch. He scolded with a smile, "Silly girl, don't flaunt these things in front of others. These are left by the Wine God and could bring deadly trouble."

"Hmph, of course I know. Sister Yuan is so kind, so it's fine. I wouldn't show them to anyone else." Jiu Bingyan affectionately hooked Yuan Xia's arm and snorted lightly.

Yuan Xia couldn't help but smile. Her eyes then scanned these ancient recipes.

"Tiger Bone Wine, Blazing Flame Wine, Primordial Spirit Wine." When she found the Primordial Spirit Wine recipe, Yuan Xia's eyes lit up. This recipe required eight millennium spirit herbs, and the wine's effect could greatly enhance vitality—very extraordinary.

Yang Tian's expression turned serious. This ancient recipe was extraordinary. If seen by a major sect, they would likely try to seize it. This was a precious wine for nurturing juniors.

Yuan Xia's figure disappeared, preparing to gather all the spirit herbs in the Ancestral Dragon Ring to brew this wine, which might prove useful later...

Yang Tian's eyes quickly scanned the ancient recipes. The more he read, the more shocked he became. Many required ten-thousand-year precious herbs, and their effects were astonishing.

"What is this?" Yang Tian's gaze fell on an ancient recipe: Spirit Eye Mystic Wine. It required ten-thousand-year precious herbs. The effect of this wine was astonishing—it could wash one's eyes, and if drunk in large quantities, could transform them into spiritual eyes!

"Excellent stuff!" Yang Tian was amazed. Although the required precious herbs were rare, the effects were extraordinary. If one's eyes could become spiritual, able to see through many illusions, it would be incredibly beneficial for the path of cultivation.

Yang Tian eagerly set this recipe aside and began flipping through quickly. The further he went, the more precious the recipes became. Finally, his gaze locked onto a Golden Body Divine Wine.

This wine could cause one's flesh and blood to transform, strengthen the skin, and grant an indestructible golden body. At its peak, it could rival the physical body of an undying cultivator!

But when he saw the required ingredients, Yang Tian almost fainted. Each batch required five ten-thousand-year precious herbs—far too rare.

Spirit-Concentrating Wine, Bone-Tempering Wine, Star-Moon Wine... Yang Tian's eyes burned with desire. These wines required too many precious herbs; he simply could not afford them.

There were also divine wines. Yang Tian looked at one and felt it was an impossible task, beyond even a major sect's means. When he saw the last recipe, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Ninefold Divine Wine: requires nine medicinal kings. It can undergo nine transformations, and after nine transformations, one's physical body would become divine!

Yang Tian sighed deeply. He carefully recorded it. This would be of great use in the future. The task of gathering nine medicinal kings was indeed rare, but if he could collect them, it would be a great fortune.

At this moment, Yang Tian's eyes fell on the two laughing women. Before them was a jade-white gourd, a full zhang in size, radiating divine charm, very extraordinary. From within the gourd, the fragrance of wine wafted out.

Below, Yuan Xia was using a wine jar made of fine jade, continuously pouring in the wine.

"A supreme treasure! The Wine God Gourd can instantly produce divine wine. If outsiders knew of this, the continent would fall into catastrophe!" Yang Tian asserted directly. If this item were obtained by a certain sect, their strength would likely skyrocket!
