He returned to Sky Wave Residence shortly before Lu Luanti and the others also gradually came back. The girls were all excited beyond measure. They had gone down the mountain to watch the battle earlier and witnessed Chu Xisheng compelling the Purple Eyebrow Heavenly Monarch to continuously unseal his cultivation and swiftly drive him back. Although the competition ended in a draw, it was essentially a resounding victory for Chu Xisheng. Lu Luanti felt an immense satisfaction within her heart. Previously, while Chu Xisheng was in secluded cultivation, Lu Luanti listened to others’ discussions, which always made her feel stifled. Especially those ignorant Jianghu wanderers at the foot of the mountain disgusted her immensely. But today, Chu Xisheng with his Sixth Grade cultivation overwhelmed all doubts by equaling Shui Ruge, making her heart stir and feel indescribable comfort. At this moment, the brothers Hu Kan and Hu Lai also came to pay a visit together. Chu Xisheng’s Divine Sense was extremely sharp, and when he piloted the sword boat to arrive at the foothills, he noticed the figures of these old friends inside the teahouse. This surprised him greatly. Since earlier in the year when he escorted the Zuo family father and son to the capital, he hadn’t seen the Hu Kan and Hu Lai brothers for half a year. Upon this long-awaited reunion, seeing his old friends, how could he not be delighted? He couldn’t speak to the two at the mountain gate, so he could only use the transmission method to invite them up the mountain for a chat. The summit of Formless Divine Mountain was actually strictly off-limits to outsiders. Especially near Sky Wave Residence and Blood Pine Tree, which had become one of the Formless Divine Sect’s restricted zones. But the Hu Brothers, through a token given by Chu Xisheng, under the guidance of an Inner Sect Disciple, reached Sky Wave Residence without hindrance, where they had the privilege to observe the Avatar of the Wood Sword Immortal nearby. That night, Sky Wave Residence was bustling and brightly lit, with cups and glasses exchanged in toasts. Chu Xisheng specifically asked Liu Ruoxi to prepare a table of dishes. This was exactly what Liu Ruoxi was hoping for. She styled herself as the housekeeper of the Chu Xisheng siblings. Already ten days ago, as Chu Xisheng returned, Liu Ruoxi intended to prepare a welcome party for their lord, to welcome back Chu Xisheng. She had already prepared the ingredients, collected various gourmet mountain dishes from down the mountain. However, due to the unexpected arrival of the Blood Vengeance Divine Blade, there were unforeseen changes and she had to give up, storing these top-quality ingredients under ice. Now they were just perfect for use, not only to entertain the Hu brothers but also to celebrate Chu Xisheng’s advancement and his successful retreat against Shui Ruge. What surprised everyone was that Liu Ruoxi had quietly become very skilled at cooking. The dozen dishes were all extremely delicious, making everyone’s mouth water and fingers twitch. Liu Ruoxi purposely retrieved Qin Muge’s treasured eight jars of Immortal Brew from the storage to delight everyone. Lu Luanti was so happy she nearly emptied a jar by herself, drinking to her heart’s content. Each was a little wine jar the size of half a person, containing Immortal Brew that, if diluted, could flatten fifty robust Great Han. Yet Lu Luanti’s cheeks only flushed pink and her eyes were hazy. She herself did not understand why she was feeling like that. Another jar of Immortal Brew ended up in Bai Xiaozhao’s belly. Little White Mink had its first experience with alcohol and was astounded by this delicious thing, inadvertently drinking a whole jar. But Bai Xiaozhao didn’t have the capacity for alcohol and after finishing one jar, directly passed out, sleeping soundly. The Little Xuanwu was also knocked out. Though the tortoise was large, its tolerance was very low; after three gulps it was out cold. Zhoou Liangchen drank very heartily as well. He usually focused on Martial Arts, seldom having chances to relax and unwind. Probably due to his constitution, or maybe because Zhoou Liangchen practiced Water Element Technique. His alcohol tolerance was vast, immeasurable, and he alone drank the Hu brothers under the table. Among the group, only Ji Qianqian was always absent-minded and uninterested. Possibly burdened by heavy thoughts, Ji Qianqian unknowingly was poured two jars of liquor by Chu Xisheng and drank herself into a daze. As the night deepened and everyone was satiated and either left or slumbered, Chu Xisheng took up a wine cup, smackingly marveled, "I didn’t expect my Brother Zuo, to have such a connection." He had already learned from the Hu brothers about Zuo Qingyun’s recent situation in Wang’an City. These two not only had access to information at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion but also involved in its Martial Arts anecdotes collection. Plus, being in good terms with Zuo Qingyun, often drinking and gathering together, thus gleaning some truth about Zuo Qingyun’s bodily changes. Previous generations of the White Tiger Marquis often dispersed their cultivation at its pinnacle and cultivated anew, or transferred their cultivation to a reliable person. And Zuo Qingyun was precisely the chosen ’vessel’ for the current generation White Tiger Marquis. Chu Xisheng thought that this Marriage Technique was indeed like the Marriage Dress Divine Skill in martial arts novels? Ironically, he practiced persistently every day and still struggled to ascend into Fifth Grade. Yet that guy could ascend in one step, and in a year and a half, directly entered the Second Grade Earthly List! This entrée was indeed comfortable. Chu Yunyun then brushed Lu Luanti’s hair aside and gazed deeply at the girl’s rosy cheeks. "Luanyi really likes you, she’s happy for you." Chu Xisheng’s heart suddenly tightened, instinctively sensing a crisis. "Luanyi is innately pure and good." He nodded, then smiled and reached out, taking the initiative to clink glasses with Chu Yunyun: "No water should forget its source, this glass is to respect you, without your Infinite Slash, I would have fought a bitter battle today." "You learned quickly." Chu Yunyun indeed was diverted. She was also in an excellent mood, promptly downing the wine in her cup: "What need is there to thank me? Infinite Slash is just icing on the cake, I underestimated that Zimei Blade Lord, and underestimated you too. Even without Infinite Slash, with your current ability, you could have fought him to a draw."
