Chapter 327 - 284

His fine wine had attracted not only beautiful women but also high-level members of the sect.

With a few leaps, Jiang Tang arrived at the Sect Leader’s residence.

This time, in the Sect Leader’s living room, many people were standing there.

Those high-level members he had seen and those he had not, many Peak Masters and Elders of the sect, appeared as if they had just concluded a major meeting at our place and were waiting for him.

“Jiang Tang, let me introduce the Wind Group Elders from within the sect to you,” said the Sect Leader.

Upon the Sect Leader’s command, those who knew how formidable Jiang Tang was, whether they had met him or not, merely nodded to him without any other response.

They had no utilitarian relationship with Jiang Tang, and if the Elixir Peak Master couldn’t accept this parachuted-in Jiang Tang, how could they?

How could they object to this Elder before them with a higher level of cultivation than theirs?

Even if they had to compete, with their positions as Peak Masters, they had nothing to say.

These Peak Masters and Elders, upon seeing Jiang Tang, felt that this man was truly not simple.

Could it really be that in just one month, he had achieved a level of cultivation that seemed even higher than that of the Sect Leader?

This was truly an incredible matter; such a person could only be taught well, not made an enemy of.

Having heard that Jiang Tang had invited the Sect Leader and two other Peak Masters to drink, these individuals, who had come to greet the Sect Leader earlier, had instead angled for a drink.

Who would have known that after waiting all morning, and even lunchtime passing, the Sect Leader hadn’t emerged, finally breaking his seclusion under their eager anticipation?

This Sect Leader, upon leaving seclusion, seemed to have increased his cultivation yet again, eliciting both jealousy and helplessness in them.

After listening to the Elders and Peak Masters introduce themselves, Jiang Tang came to realize that, aside from a female Elder, all other Peak Masters and Elders of the North City Immortal Sect were present.

With so many peaks within the North City Immortal Sect, how did they manage to gather so completely?

Were they not responsible for managing affairs or for secluded cultivation?

Jiang Tang had the fortune of sitting among so many.

With so many people present, there weren’t enough stools, so they brought their own cushions to sit on.

Jiang Tang also took out his own cushion, then saw someone set up a table for them and distribute a large plate of braised beef in front of each person, along with a plate of peanuts, a plate of dog meat, and a pair of chopsticks.

These were only ordinary meats, not considered high-level Demonic Beast delicacies.

However, the chefs were skilled and the food was fragrant.

The Sect Leader smiled at the many attendees, but singled out Jiang Tang and said,

“Elder Jiang Tang, we have the dishes ready, but we’re missing your fine wine…”

As Jiang Tang suspected in inviting him, this would not be good news.

How much wine would these many people drink?

Fortunately, Eryao had brewed quite a bit a few days ago, including several large jars of five catties each.

He took out two five-catty jars of fine wine, knowing that these two jars would not be enough for these people; they might even drink up all the wine in his storage space.

As Jiang Tang took out the wine, he also instructed Eryao to brew some more, now that he had encountered these wine buffs; he needed to have a reserve.

Eryao, having eaten and drunk his fill in the space, was blissfully tipsy and ready to sleep.

But upon hearing his master’s instructions, he shook his head, feeling like all it knew was to be ordered about, so it assigned the task to Green Ox.

Green Ox, which possessed spiritual intelligence and had met the master, as well as being privy to Eryao’s wine brewing skills, dared not ignore Eryao’s words and busied itself with the task.

It thought to itself that as it was doing all the work now, Eryao would share meat with it in the future and wouldn’t regard it as a freeloading non-worker.

As soon as Jiang Tang’s fine wine appeared, and even before the jars were opened, the wine buffs in the hall perked up their noses, attracted by the fragrance of the wine.

Everyone became restless.

Before Jiang Tang could pour for them, they each pulled out a large cup from their storage bags, and a big group of them crowded around Jiang Tang to ask for wine.

The Sect Leader, looking at this scene, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He wasn’t going to compete with these wine buffs and waited for Jiang Tang to pour for so many people.

But he discovered that one five-catty jar of wine was not enough to fill everyone’s cups; it was gone before everyone had been served.

Seeing the crowd still waiting, Jiang Tang opened another jar and began pouring for them.

But how could one cup of wine be enough for these wine buffs?

They didn’t care about the meat; they drank the wine in large gulps and competed to have Jiang Tang pour for them.

In truth, everyone understood that even a small sip of the wine made them feel its rich Qi.

Consuming just one cup was like eating many high-level Spirit Supplement Pills.

To those with high cultivation, Spirit Pills were already of no use, yet they found the fine wine to be very beneficial.

No wonder the Sect Leader seemed to have strengthened his cultivation after drinking the wine and secluding himself for a day.

Such a good thing, and without spending a penny to take advantage of a steal; anyone would want to capitalize on this advantage.

The Sect Leader started off generously, letting them drink to their heart’s content, but soon he realized that these people were utterly shameless, guzzling one cup after another.

As he watched the two large jars of alcohol dwindle, he didn’t even get a taste of it, which irritated him so much that he pushed the crowd aside.

Not waiting for Jiang Tang to come forward and offer a drink in respect, he went straight to him and took out an even larger cup than the others’, demanding that Jiang Tang pour for him.

Jiang Tang truly understood what it meant to be a drunkard; these people drank like they were drinking water, completely wasting his fine alcohol.

Despite such wild drinking, he hadn’t touched a drop, and the two large, five-pound jars were already empty.

Seeing that the Sect Leader’s cup was even larger than those of the others, was he trying to outdo them in size?

These drunkards were hopelessly ruining and wasting his effort, weren’t they?

This manner of guzzling like an ox made Jiang Tang quite annoyed.

“Sect Leader, it’s all gone!”

“Jiang Tang, I haven’t had a single cup yet.

How could it be gone?

Why didn’t you mention earlier that there were only two jars?”

The lofty Sect Leader of North City Immortal Sect behaved like a child denied candy, stamping his feet in frustration.

In this state, he seemed to have regressed to youth, and no one found his behavior distasteful.

The ones who had a couple of drinks, upon hearing that there was no more alcohol left, even wanted to lick their cups with their tongues to not waste a single drop.

“Jiang Tang, why didn’t you brew more?

You didn’t say the alcohol was gone?

I haven’t even tasted those two cups of alcohol; what did they taste like?”

The Peak Master of Miscellaneous Affairs Peak felt it was a shame that the fine alcohol had been finished so quickly.

Then everyone began to chatter away like a noisy marketplace.

“Seeing you drink it like plain water really bothers me.

This isn’t cabbage; do you really have to down it like that?”

Jiang Tang burst into laughter at the absurd comments thrown his way.

Could the alcohol he created from thin air ever be mediocre?

Just for the sake of taking advantage, these people couldn’t behave so disgracefully!

It was infuriating.

Angered, Jiang Tang decisively refused to take out more alcohol despite the Sect Leader’s tantrum, grabbed some chopsticks to eat with, and then began pouring himself some tea.

After all, he had already shared quite a few drinks with the ladies earlier; drinking more alcohol now didn’t matter to him.

Drinking with these old men wasn’t nearly as pleasant as drinking with the beauties; it was a total letdown.

The Sect Leader was furious but felt that even if he fought him, he might not be able to beat Jiang Tang.

After appraising his own cultivation, he looked at Jiang Tang and didn’t dare to feel arrogant anymore.

No wonder this man had advanced so quickly in just over a month.

Was he improving by one level each day?

Just like picking up cabbage so effortlessly from the outside world, could this person be any more monstrously talented?

With no alcohol to drink and his craving hitting hard, the Sect Leader had no choice but to snatch the tea cup in front of Jiang Tang, not caring that Jiang Tang had just taken a sip from it.

Jiang Tang was stunned to see the Sect Leader grab and drink his tea that way.

It was practically an indirect kiss.

This old man was too much, wanting tea without even asking for it.

Helplessly, Jiang Tang took out another jade cup from his storage bag.

No sooner had he poured tea into the new jade cup than a hand swiftly snatched it away.

Jiang Tang glared at the person who took his tea cup; it was the Elixir Peak Master.

Nonchalant in face of Jiang Tang’s glare, the Elixir Peak Master laughed and said, “Having had alcohol before, I thought it was the finest drink in the Mortal Realm.

But now, having tasted this cup of tea, it’s even more exquisite.”

No sooner had the Elixir Peak Master finished talking than those who had not savored the taste of the alcohol took their large cups, one after another, asking Jiang Tang to pour them tea.

Jiang Tang looked at the dozens of large cups flying in the air before him; these people were too much!

After drinking his alcohol, they now wanted his tea, as if it were just tap water?

Angry as he was, Jiang Tang knew that although he had limited tea leaves, there was plenty of water in his space.

The tea could be watered down because these people would still find the water from his space delicious.

He decided not to let them have any more alcohol and instead give them diluted tea.

There was no point in wasting good tea leaves on these pigs.

Jiang Tang cursed inwardly, initially comparing their drinking to that of cattle, now considering them pigs.

Of course, these people weren’t telepathic and had no idea what he was thinking.
