Ten days passed, and Master Wine also arrived in Taixuan City!
Master Wine is not only Lu Qingluan's master, but also a saint who has attained enlightenment for hundreds of thousands of years. His cultivation is unfathomable, and he is known to be the master of the three arts of alchemy, talismans, and wine. He holds a pivotal position in the entire Danfu Mountain.
Ling Xiao was also very curious about what Master Jiu wanted to talk to him about.
When Ling Xiao, Lu Wenlong and Lu Qingluan returned to Xinghua Tower, they saw an old man in a white robe and with gray hair sitting at the top of the hall. He looked like an ordinary old man, with a very calm aura. At this moment, his eyes were slightly closed and his face was as rosy as a baby's.
But Ling Xiao could feel that beneath the calm, there was a vast and terrifying aura hidden. It was the power of the Holy Way, as if it had merged into one with the surrounding heaven and earth, like the incarnation of the Great Way, which made people dare not guess.
This is a saint who is no less powerful than Huang Tai!
Ling Xiao thought secretly in his heart.
He must be the wine master!
The wine master seemed to have noticed Ling Xiao as well. He opened his eyes and looked at Ling Xiao with an extremely deep gaze, instantly revealing a hint of surprise.
"Are you the one who solved the problem I left in the apricot wine?"
The wine master stood up, looked at Ling Xiao with deep interest in his eyes, and said with a smile.
"Greetings, Master. Qingluan missed you so much! He is Zhao Ritian, who solved the problem of you being left in the apricot wine. Moreover, he just passed the assessment of the nine-star alchemy master in Danfu Daoyuan!"
When Lu Qingluan saw the wine master, she immediately ran up the mountain and hugged the wine master's arm and acted coquettishly, saying with a smile.
"You passed the assessment of the nine-star alchemy master in Danfu Daoyuan? It seems that you are right! Zhao Ritian, are you willing to take me as your master?"
There was a gleam of light in the wine master's eyes, and he looked at Ling Xiao and smiled slightly.
"What?!"
Lu Wenlong and Lu Qingluan were both shocked, with an expression of disbelief in their eyes.
They never thought that Master Jiu would accept Ling Xiao as his disciple the first time he saw him.
Ling Xiao was also slightly stunned, not knowing what this wine master was up to.
"Zhao Ritian, why are you still standing there? My master never accepts disciples easily, why don't you kneel down and become his disciple?"
Lu Qingluan urged hurriedly, with a hint of envy in her eyes.
You know, Master Wine has a very high status in Danfu Mountain. The reason why Lu Qingluan was able to become Master Wine's disciple was not because Lu Qingluan was so outstanding, but because Master Wine owed the Lu family a favor. In addition, Lu Qingluan had good talent, so he could become Master Wine's only disciple.
But this was the first time that the wine master took the initiative to ask for someone to be his apprentice.
"Master Jiu, I already have a master, so I can't take you as my master! Sorry!"
Although Ling Xiao didn't know the wine master's intention, he still spoke slowly, with a hint of apology in his eyes.
"You already have a master? That's such a pity!"
There was a hint of pity in the wine master's eyes.
"Zhao Ritian, you really don't know what's good for you! I don't know how many people want to be my master's disciple, but my master never looks down on them. How dare you refuse?"
Lu Qingluan looked at Ling Xiao as if he were a fool and said with some resentment.
She also didn't expect that Ling Xiao would actually reject the Wine Master.
"Qingluan, the relationship between a master and a disciple cannot be forced! Since Zhao Ritian already has a master, I naturally cannot force him! You and Wenlong go down first, I have something to discuss with Zhao Ritian!"
The wine master smiled slightly.
"Yes, Master!"
Lu Qingluan and Lu Wenlong bowed to the wine master, then turned and walked out.
Buzz!
After Lu Qingluan and Lu Wenlong left, Ling Xiao and Master Wine were the only ones left in the room. Master Wine stretched out his hand and a bright light suddenly burst out, forming a powerful barrier that enveloped the room.
Master Jiu looked at Ling Xiao and said slowly: "Zhao Ritian, although I don't know where you came from, you should have practiced the way of the heart, right?"
"How do you know?"
Ling Xiao's whole body trembled, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, he instantly became alert, and the Fantian Seal rose and fell in his body, as if it would be activated at any time to break through Master Jiu's barrier and escape from here.
Almost no one knew that Ling Xiao was practicing the Taixu Heart Talisman Sutra, but Master Jiu revealed his cultivation path, which shocked Ling Xiao greatly.
"Don't be nervous! I'm sure you've seen the questions I left in the apricot wine! But to fully guess the true answers to the questions I left in the apricot wine, the 999 kinds of magical medicines, you either need to be a saint who can see through illusions! Or, you need to be a person who has cultivated the way of the mind, who can see through the reality with his powerful mental strength, and see the true form of the 999 kinds of magical medicines! You are not a saint, that only means you have cultivated the way of the mind!"
The wine master smiled slightly.
"Is it a problem with the apricot blossom wine? Master Jiu is right, I have indeed cultivated the way of the mind! I just got the way of the mind by chance!"
Ling Xiao said calmly and simply admitted it.
He had been wondering why the wine master left that question in the apricot blossom wine. It turned out that he was looking for someone who practiced the mind.
"You can solve that problem, your cultivation of the mind is not weak! That's right, I just want to find someone who cultivates the mind. I won't beat around the bush with you, Zhao Ritian, I want to ask you to do me a favor, and I will reward you handsomely after the task is completed!"
The wine master said seriously.
"You want my help? Master Jiu, I'd like to ask you a question. Although there are few people who practice the Way of the Heart in the God Realm, there are still some, right? Just like Buddhist disciples, many of them practice the Way of the Heart. With your status, it should be easy to find someone who practices the Way of the Heart. Why do you go to so much trouble to set up a test in the Apricot Blossom Wine?"
Ling Xiao asked with some confusion.
“You’re right! There are indeed some people in the God Realm who cultivate the Way of the Heart, but most of those who can reach your level are disciples of Buddhism. I have a grudge against those bald donkeys in Buddhism, so I naturally can’t ask disciples of Buddhism for help, so I have no choice but to resort to this last resort!”
The wine master spoke slowly, but when he mentioned the Buddhist disciples, a hint of coldness clearly appeared in his eyes.
"Master Wine wants me to help you with what?"
Ling Xiao thought about it and asked. He instinctively felt that this should be a very troublesome matter, but since he could get a saint to speak, he planned to find out first.
"Help me go somewhere and find someone!"
The wine master took a deep breath and spoke slowly, with an inexplicable excitement in his eyes.
