Chapter 311 - 311 Jade City

311 Jade City

Hearing Ye Xuan’s explanation, Xiao Mingyan was also a little curious. “I’d like to hear more about it.”

“I found a giant tree by chance. The tree hole was empty, but it was filled with hundreds of fruits. The fragrance was intoxicating. Unfortunately, I went there too late and most of the fruits were shriveled. I only collected a small amount of its juice and other materials to make this wine.”

“To think there’s actually such a strange thing.”

Xiao Mingyan usually ate all kinds of delicacies, spiritual plants, and spiritual fruits, but this was the first time he had drunk such a novel wine.

Ye Xuan was also a forthright person. He said, “If you like it, I’ll give you all the wine.”

!!

“I’ve heard that the monkeys in the mountains gather a hundred fruits in a cave to store food for the winter. However, if there is no lack of food for the winter in that season, the monkeys will forget about those hundred fruits. Then, those hundred fruits in the cave will gradually ferment and then be brewed into wine.”

Xiao Mingyan was incomparably shocked. “I didn’t expect that after drinking Brother Ye’s wine, I would know that Monkey Wine was real. However, your additional items were the real finishing touch, Brother Ye.”

The wine brewed by the monkeys was naturally made, but it was still a little rough. After Ye Xuan’s touch, it could be called a truly good wine. Even the gods would be a little drunk after smelling it.”

“After drinking Brother Ye’s wine today, I feel like all the wine I’ve drunk in the past was plain water. All the bejeweled nectar has no taste at all. This is what real wine is called!”

Although his words were a little exaggerated, the sincerity in Xiao Mingyan’s words was particularly touching.

Sometimes, the attraction between people could be so strange. Although it was the first time the two met, they seemed to be good friends who had known each other for a long time.

Xiao Mingyan looked like he was born out of the ordinary, but he didn’t put on any airs. He didn’t care how much his clothes were worth. He just sat down on the ground, not caring even if it was stained with dust.

Ye Xuan liked to drink, but Shen Changling didn’t. It was rare to meet someone who liked and knew about wine, so Ye Xuan was also interested. He sat beside Xiao Mingyan and the two talked about everything.

Those who didn’t know the truth would think that they had known each other for a long time.

Just as they were drinking, the jade pendant on Xiao Mingyan’s waist glowed. “I drank too much and forgot that I still have something important to do. I have to go first. Let’s meet again another day if fate allows.”

Xiao Mingyan stood up and patted the dust off his clothes. He said, “Brother Ye, I can’t drink this wine for free. This token is for you. If you want to enter Jade City and you encounter any trouble, you can take it to the Xiao family and look for me.”

The moment he finished speaking, Xiao Mingyan’s shadow was already gone.

Looking at the token on the ground, Ye Xuan picked it up. The big word “Xiao” was written in bold and flamboyant calligraphy, just like Xiao Mingyan’s free and uninhibited style. It was just as he had guessed.

Xiao Mingyan was also from Jade City, and his family background was probably on par with Zhao Huaifeng’s, or even slightly higher.

“He’s an interesting person.”

Ye Xuan smiled, put the token away, and chose to continue on his way.

This forest covered a vast area, and Ye Xuan didn’t have a map, so he got lost in the forest for a few days. He suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have left with Xiao Mingyan.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It wasn’t easy to find the direction and deal with some demonic beasts at the same time. He had wasted a lot of time.

If he wanted to go to the Valley of Medicine Masters, he had to pass through Jade City first. Ye Xuan had been on the road for a long time, and his supplies were almost exhausted. He was not a real immortal who could travel hundreds of thousands of miles.

Jade City was the largest town in the area, so it should be a good decision to rest there for a few days.

Who would have thought that he would be stopped at the city gate and told that he had to pay the entrance fee?

“There’s an entrance fee?”

The city guard saw that Ye Xuan was dressed very ordinarily and didn’t even look at him. “Of course. You have to pay spirit stones to enter Jade City. If you can’t afford it, don’t come in.”

After the city guard finished speaking, he made a shooing gesture.

Ye Xuan had no lack of spirit stones.

He threw the cloth bag at the city guard. Because they looked down on him, Ye Xuan secretly used some spiritual energy. Thus, it would still hurt when the cloth bag hit their bodies, not to mention that it actually hit their heads.

The soldiers immediately pointed their spears at Ye Xuan and surrounded him in an instant. “What are you doing?!”

“Didn’t you want me to hand over spirit stones? These are the spirit stones.”

The leader of the group of soldiers adjusted his helmet which had been smashed askew, a hint of hostility flashing in his eyes.

“You brat, you’re simply too arrogant. You actually dare to throw things at us. Do you think that broken cloth bag can fool people? Spirit stones? I don’t think you have that much money, and you’re still provoking us!”

“Men, take him down!”

Facing their encirclement, Ye Xuan was calm. “Whether it’s true or not, you’ll know when you see it. It’s not like you’ll lose anything anyway.”

“I don’t think you’ll dare to play any tricks, but if you’re lying, just wait and see.”

Thinking that Ye Xuan would not be able to escape even if he had wings, the soldier was skeptical. He opened the bag with his spear and saw that it was an inconspicuous cloth bag. Who would have thought that the items inside would be worth thousands of gold?

Everyone was stunned.

“Su-supreme-grade spirit stones!” He exclaimed.

The spirit stones in the bag almost blinded everyone’s eyes. A rough count revealed that there were almost a hundred of them.

“It really is.”

In this place, only the big families could afford supreme-grade spirit stones. Ordinary people couldn’t afford it, let alone these people. Furthermore, supreme-grade spirit stones could not be faked.

Ye Xuan was so generous, so his identity must not be simple. His ordinary clothes might just be a disguise.

The soldier suddenly felt that it was worth it to be smashed and wished Ye Xuan could do it a few more times. He quickly picked up the cloth bag that he had sneered at just now and instantly changed his expression. He felt that Ye Xuan was becoming more and more mysterious.

“Fellow Daoist, please come in. Our Jade City welcomes you.”

Ye Xuan couldn’t be bothered to argue with these people. He turned around and walked into Jade City. He would just treat this incident as buying peace with money.
