Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 917: Chapter 657: Thousand Cup Intoxication (Part 3)

”And the strength, those navy soldiers who brought us here are definitely the elite of the elite!”

”Yang Zhenshan is skilled in training soldiers; this is a well-known fact. One glimpse tells the whole picture, and now the strength of the Yang family far exceeds before!”

”They possess the power to dominate in this area, so why still return to Da Rong?”

Chen Mingxi felt a bit sour in her heart, and she also held some resentment towards her nephew, Emperor Yanping, not understanding why he wanted someone like Yang Zhenshan to leave Da Rong.

In fact, she somewhat wrongly blamed Emperor Yanping. Given the situation of the Yang family at that time, neither Yang Zhenshan nor Emperor Yanping had any choice but to let the Yang family leave Da Rong, and the Yang family’s departure from Da Rong was indeed the best outcome.

Of course, Emperor Yanping also made mistakes. After the Yang family left Da Rong, he no longer cared about them, failed to maintain the close relationship between Da Rong and the Yang family, and also developed a sense of apprehension towards Chongshan Town and the Tenglong Guard.

It was this that caused the Yang family and Da Rong to drift further apart.

The Yang family was no longer subjects of Da Rong, and their friendship with the Da Rong royal family gradually weakened.

At this moment, Chen Mingxi realized that she might find it very difficult to persuade Yang Zhenshan to return.

In the following days, Yang Zhenshan did not come to see Chen Mingxi, which also proved her suspicions were correct.

Eventually, Chen Mingxi had to lower her stance and request a meeting with Yang Zhenshan.

But just as Yang Zhenshan was about to go meet Chen Mingxi, Divine Wood Island welcomed a guest that surprised him.

An Yuxing had arrived!

This was something Yang Zhenshan had not expected.

He knew that An Yuxing had left Sanshan Valley and had thought that An Yuxing might come looking for him in the future, but he hadn’t anticipated An Yuxing would come so soon.

”Haha, Senior An, long time no see!” Yang Zhenshan was much more enthusiastic towards An Yuxing.

An Yuxing was still the same, unkempt, carrying wine with him at all times.

He had a wine gourd hanging at his waist, and his body exuded a strong scent of alcohol.

”Haha, have you prepared wine for me?” An Yuxing approached, laughing heartily.

Yang Zhenshan gestured with his hand in a welcoming manner, ”Of course, Drunken Immortal Brew, Hundred Herbs Brew, and also the Thousand Cup Intoxication I’ve recently brewed!”

”Thousand Cup Intoxication?” An Yuxing’s eyes lit up.

Yang Zhenshan laughed heartily, ”Give it a try!”

The two walked side by side into the back hall of the front courtyard, where wine and dishes had already been prepared, with more than a dozen jugs of wine in particular.

”Let me try the Thousand Cup Intoxication quickly!” An Yuxing was already impatient.

Yang Zhenshan picked up a bronze wine jug and poured him a cup.

”This wine is quite intriguing!”

An Yuxing did not stand on ceremony, lifting the cup and downing it in one go.

Once the wine entered his throat, he immediately felt a mild spiciness, and as it reached his stomach, an overwhelming surge of warmth coursed through him.

Soon, An Yuxing felt a wave of comfort, as if every pore was breathing, making him feel utterly relaxed.

”This is!” An Yuxing showed a look of surprise.

He was not surprised at how the Thousand Cup Intoxication tasted, but at its effects.

It was distinctly apparent to him that this Thousand Cup Intoxication had the effect of purifying True Qi.

Yang Zhenshan boasted proudly, ”This is the wine I painstakingly brewed; not bad, right!”

Thousand Cup Intoxication, from its name, seemed nothing special.

Well, Yang Zhenshan just came up with the name on a whim.

The idea was that the wine wasn’t strong enough, one might not get drunk even after a thousand cups.

Though its alcohol content was low, and it didn’t contain Drunken Immortal Herb, making its taste quite bland, the value of Thousand Cup Intoxication far surpassed that of Hundred Herbs Brew, Drunken Immortal Brew, and all the other wines Yang Zhenshan had brewed before, because it was brewed with Spirit Fruit.

It included Light Spirit Fruit, Cloud Berry Fruit, and Cold Pine Fruit, and in large quantities too.

Thousand Cup Intoxication not only possessed all the effects of Spiritual Spring Water, but also expanded meridians, purified True Qi, and calmed the mind and spirit.

It was practically indistinguishable from a panacea that could cure all ailments.

Its medicinal properties were extremely gentle, not only could Innate Martial Artists drink it, but even ordinary people could partake.

This year’s brew of Thousand Cup Intoxication was still relatively small, but next year Yang Zhenshan was expected to brew it in large quantities, at which time it would be added to the cultivation salary.
