Chapter 286 - 286 234

286: Chapter 234 286: Chapter 234 Su Chang’an had only finished speaking when a group of distant uncles and cousins entered his courtyard.

“Haha, the scent of fine wine led us here, truly fragrance wafting a thousand miles.

Young Master, you wouldn’t mind us inviting ourselves over, right?”

“The Young Master shouldn’t mind, His brothers have all been here, and us uncles and cousins coming over is perfect for meeting the Master of the Alchemy Hall.”

“It’s just the right time for us to share a drink with the Master of the Alchemy Hall, haha!”

These uncles and cousins were shamelessly present just for a taste of the fine wine.

“If you all could come, my brother would surely be delighted.

Let us share a drink with Jiang Tang, and everyone get to know our Hall Master.”

Seeing so many people come in just for a drink, Jiang Tang, who was not short on wine, also followed suit with polite words:

“You are Elder Qian Chen’s relatives, and thus mine as well.

Pouring wine for my elders is my honor.

Come, let’s all drink together and wish for our friendship to grow and prosper over time.”

“Indeed, let’s toast to our friendship.”

“Let’s all toast together.”

Jiang Tang poured each person a small cup, and they lifted their glasses, clinking them together without immediately downing the liquor.

Such fine wine had to be savored slowly, tasting sweet upon entry with a strong surge of spiritual energy, accompanied by a thick floral aroma, the delightful liquid flowed down the throat, instantly turning into rich spiritual energy.

The cultivation of these individuals was at the Ocean Wheel level, and after a cup of wine, they suppressed the urge to sit in meditation and cultivate, hoping to drink a few more cups while they could.

“Oh, what fine wine!”

“Such exquisite wine can be found only here in the Mortal Realm.

Jiang Tang, where did you acquire such wine?”

As they drank, they also inquired about the origin of the wine, wondering if they could buy some for themselves after today.

“I brew the wine myself, and don’t sell it.

I don’t have any extra to offer, I’m sorry.”

Jiang Tang felt that selling Supreme Elixirs was already good enough for continuous income, so why bother with the trouble of brewing wine?

Life had many joyous moments, and not all of them could be spent on socializing, cultivating, or making things to sell.

Growing stronger was his goal, as was building a force, but there were many other things to do in life.

“Oh, that’s a pity.

Why not sell it?”

They felt it was such a shame to hear Jiang Tang wasn’t selling the wine.

“Uncles, cousins, by drinking a few more cups now, aren’t we making a gain?”

Su Chang’an nonchalantly poured wine for the men, thinking they should be content with a sip of such fine wine in life, why should they expect to drink it daily?

Such exquisite wine was surely precious, and Jiang Tang used it to entertain guests instead of selling it, a significant honor for their family.

They ought to be content; contentment brings happiness.

In a mix of disappointment and realization, they felt that Su Chang’an was right.

Having such a drink here was already rare, and they were in a pavilion with a beautiful view, accompanied by sitting beauties.

Fine wine and beautiful women, surely the greatest pleasures in life.

The cask of wine Jiang Tang brought out quickly neared its end after wave upon wave of guests.

The food on the table was replenished several times, and both Jiang Tang and Su Chang’an were slightly tipsy from the ample drink and feast.

Jiang Tang was finding it hard to contain the powerful and rich spiritual energy in his body, generated from the day’s drinking.

Su Chang’an, having drunk so much fine wine, also felt the urge to enter a cultivation retreat.

Jiang Tang wanted to go into seclusion right here in Su Chang’an’s place, but seeing so many ladies and the Dugu brothers around, it didn’t seem appropriate for him to cultivate alone.

Jiang Tang could only ask Su Chang’an to find rooms for the beauties and the Dugu brothers, she would take a room for herself alone.

Of course, Su Chang’an agreed; he was hoping to have Jiang Tang stay for a few more days.

At that moment, Jiang Tang received a message from his shop, stating that an oddly-dressed man resembling a foreigner was looking for him, calling himself Earl.

Jiang Tang remembered this person from an encounter outside Immortal Venerable City, instructing the shopkeeper to ask what business the guest had with him.

The shopkeeper reported back that the Earl wished to request a few Storage Bags from him and discuss a Spirit Grass business proposition.

Jiang Tang was curious about the background of this Earl and why he wanted to conduct business with him.

Didn’t they have their own Storage Bags?

Jiang Tang told the shopkeeper to give the guest a few large Storage Bags, and if the man truly had a medicine trade in mind, they would talk when he returned to the shop.

The shopkeeper conveyed the Earl’s response, expressing his gratitude for the Storage Bags, and stating he would come back in five days to sell Spirit Grass.

Jiang Tang agreed to the Earl’s request, telling him to return after a few days.

After discussing this matter, Jiang Tang didn’t feel the need to be in seclusion for long; five days would be enough time for him to return to Immortal Venerable City.

Su Chang’an instructed the maids to arrange rooms for Jiang Tang and the guests, assigning all of them to rooms within his own courtyard.

Usually, he was the only resident in the courtyard, which had many rooms; the servants and maids usually stayed elsewhere.

Su Chang’an, who previously either had a preference for cleanliness or didn’t want to be disturbed during his cultivation, lived alone in his courtyard.

Baizhou Garden was simply too large.

Jiang Tang watched the maids arrange accommodations for the beauties around him and the Dugu brothers, who were all assigned rooms, before the maids showed him to his own room and he closed the door.

Then he activated the Formation in the room; indeed, it was a great family where even a guest room had its own Formation.

One could cultivate with peace of mind in this room, with sound insulation and defense from disturbance.
