Master of Martial Arts, please enjoy a drunken revelry in the martial world.

Chapter 42 Cangguang Gourd

Guo Furong never imagined that her impulsive act would bring such serious consequences.

Even she, the daughter of the chief constable of the Six Doors, was helpless.

Fortunately, things have turned out alright so far, otherwise the guilt would have completely overwhelmed her.

"If you learn about the dangers of the martial world after this experience, then it's not like you've gained nothing at all."

If you don't want to rely on your father to become famous in the martial arts world, then first learn to assess the danger.

A true martial arts world is one where no one has a safety net.

Gu Qianbei said with a smile, then picked up his bowl and chopsticks and began to eat.

"I see."

Guo Furong nodded, then looked at Manager Gu with curiosity.

"Manager Gu, tell me your story? You're so amazing, you must be quite famous in the martial arts world, right?"

How do you know the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms? Are you from the Beggars' Sect?

Why are you staying here now to be a distillery manager?

Seeing Guo Furong acting like a curious child, Gu Qianbei shook his head.

"I don't have much of a story, so don't pry. Save your energy for figuring out how to deal with Shangguan Yundun."

"No, let's talk."

Guo Furong said with a grin.

"I'm not talking."

After Gu Qianbei finished speaking, he quickly ate the rice and finished the food in a short while, then returned the bowl to Guo Furong.

"Thank you for your hospitality. Please take these back with you. No need to see me out."

After doing all this, Gu Qianbei rushed back to the backyard, giving Guo Furong no chance to refute him.

"Hello!"

Guo Furong was also helpless and couldn't ask any more questions, so she took the bowl and chopsticks and went back to the inn.

Brewing workshop.

Gu Qianbei walked to the wine jar used to brew Bihe Dew and placed his right hand on it.

"Infusion of martial arts spirit successful. Jade Lotus Dew quality upgraded to top grade. Brewing complete. Ding, congratulations host on completing brewing. Reward: Cangguang Gourd."

A black streak of light condensed at Gu Qianbei's waist, then transformed into a jet-black gourd.

"The Cangguang Gourd is a magical wine vessel made from rhinoceros horn. It has a huge interior space that can hold thousands of kinds of fine wines at the same time without them interfering with each other."

The wine added inside will become even more fragrant and mellow.

Its gourd stopper also contains storage space, the size of which varies depending on the amount of wine inside.

One type of wine provides one cubic meter of storage space, and so on.

The storage space is not for storing living things; items stored in it will remain in the same state as when they were placed there.

If the stored wine is not yet fully brewed, it can maintain the same flow of time as the outside world.

The Cangguang Gourd is bound to the host's soul, and only the host can use it.

With a thought, even if separated by thousands of miles, it can instantly return to the host's hands.

After reading the detailed introduction of the Cangguang Gourd, Gu Qianbei's eyes lit up.

"This time it's an item reward? And such a huge one right off the bat? It can hold countless fine wines, has storage space, and even has the ability to recognize its owner?"

This is simply a magic weapon!

He had been worried about not having any storage space, but this time he was given one, and it was fully functional, solving all his storage problems at once. It was as if he had come to repay a debt of gratitude.

Gu Qianbei picked up the Cangguang gourd, removed the stopper, and aimed it at the three large wine vats in the tavern: Dragon Tiger Wine, Sunflower Sunflower Brew, and Jade Lotus Dew.

With a thought, a miraculous scene unfolded.

The wine in the three vats seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, turning into three thin streams of water that flowed into the mouth of the Cangguang gourd.

In a short while, all three were completely absorbed by the Cangguang Gourd.

The next moment, Gu Qianbei could clearly feel that three cubic meters of storage space had appeared in the Cangguang gourd.

"What a wonderful treasure! As the amount of fine wine increases, the storage space has indeed grown as well. Three cubic meters... that's quite large; it can hold a lot of things."

However, if it's for storing fine wine that hasn't been properly brewed, it can't hold much.

It seems that if there isn't enough space, it's best not to use the storage space for brewing.

However, the gourd has unlimited space for storing wine, so it will have enough to hold any amount of wine in the future.

Gu Qianbei nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly wondered if he could store other people's brewed wine, so he asked the system.

"Any wine that reaches the level of fine brewing can be stored in the Cangguang Gourd."

Gu Qianbei was quite helpless upon receiving this answer.

He now understands that the standards for fine wine given by the system are at least tribute-level in this world, and it's not something you can find just anywhere.

"Forget it, let's stick to relying on ourselves."

Although Gu Qianbei said this, he was already very satisfied with the reward of the Jade Lotus Dew.

"Let's see what effect this upgraded Bihe Dew has on you."

Fine wines and exceptional wines have completely different effects, so the descriptions in the previous wine recipes are no longer applicable.

Gu Qianbei picked up a wine cup and raised the Cangguang Gourd. With a thought, the Bihe Dew flowed out and filled the wine cup.

Its color is white with a hint of green, like a translucent piece of jade. A gentle sniff reveals a delicate lotus fragrance that refreshes the mind and body.

"It's refreshing."

Gu Qianbei whispered, then drank it all in one gulp.

A refreshing sensation immediately enveloped my entire body, like taking a sip of ice-cold cola on a summer's day.

In an instant, all distracting thoughts vanished, and all I felt was that the world was incredibly beautiful.

It reminds one of Guo Furong's famous quote: "The world is so beautiful, yet I am so irritable. This is not good, not good."

"This feeling... is truly wonderful."

Gu Qianbei clicked his tongue in amazement, already sensing the magic of the Jade Lotus Dew.

This wine can actually help people clear their minds of distractions and concentrate on spiritual practice.

If one is invaded by inner demons, this wine can also help suppress them.

Simply put, it's a lower-powered version of the Ice Heart Mantra, helping people to calm their minds.

With a turn of the Nine Heavens Wine Transformation Technique, the power of the wine was transformed into internal energy once again, increasing Gu Qianbei's internal energy even further.

"The sunflower brew should lose its effect after two more days of drinking, and this lotus dew is just the right thing to fill that gap."

Reaching the late stage of the Acquired Realm is just around the corner.

Gu Qianbei smiled with satisfaction and tied the Divine Armor Gourd to his waist, which would be an important strategic resource for him in the future.

"In another half month, the Five Poisons Tempering Wine will be ready. Then it will be time to head to the Number One Manor in the World."

Things went much more smoothly than Gu Qianbei had anticipated, so he decided to set off ahead of schedule.

Of course, the most important thing right now is to deal with Shangguan Yundun.

This person's cultivation is extremely strong; with his current strength, he is probably no match for him.

If Bai Zhantang were added, perhaps they would have a better chance of winning.

But that would still be too passive.

He needs to come up with a backup plan.

And this follow-up move was on the golden and silver soul-severing mist he left behind.

"In the original story, Shangguan Yundun was poisoned by the Deadly Scorpion, which shows that he did not have much resistance to poison."

Therefore, he naturally couldn't withstand the Golden and Silver Soul-Severing Mist, which was even more poisonous than the Deadly Scorpion.

Gu Qianbei murmured to himself, then stretched out his right hand, above which floated a golden sphere formed by the Golden Light Spell.

Hidden within it is a mist of gold and silver, which looks mysterious and eerie.

At this moment, he had already written the ending for Shangguan Yundun.
