Chapter 1 The Wine Immortal at the Banquet
Douluo Continent, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Today is the twelfth birthday of Ning Fengzhi's most beloved daughter, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It can be said that almost all the prominent figures in the entire Heaven Dou Empire have come.
Even the royal family heard about it and sent Crown Prince Xue Qinghe to offer their greetings.
Furthermore, the wealthy and powerful Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School set up the banquet in an inner and outer area, with the outer area set up as a public place so that ordinary people in the surrounding area could also come and participate, thus sharing the joy with the people!
At this moment, a person reeking of alcohol was lying on the edge of a wine pool on the outer perimeter, causing many people who wanted to get some wine to stop in their tracks.
Ye Yan groggily opened his eyes from his drunken stupor and, upon seeing the wine pool, plunged headfirst into it. The wine in the pool visibly decreased!
"Who is this guy? How can he drink so much?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen this person in any of the nearby villages. Could he be a guest invited by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
"If you're entertaining guests, why would you need to drink here? Just go to the inner area; the drinks there are ten times better than here!"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, all speculating about the identity of the drunkard.
At this moment, Ye Yan finished all the wine, enough for more than a hundred people, and still looked like he hadn't had enough.
"Where's the wine? How come it's all gone?"
Ye Yan asked this question with a flushed face. Although everyone could tell that he was drunk, a few people wanted to see just how much Ye Yan could drink.
"There's also a wine pool over there."
There are a total of twenty wine pools on the outer perimeter, enough to meet the drinking needs of two thousand people!
Ye Yan actually drank an entire pool of wine by himself. They wanted to see how much this drunkard could drink!
Ye Yan strolled unsteadily in the direction they pointed.
[Ding! The alcohol has been automatically converted into soul power!]
[Current Soul Power Level: 89!]
Twenty years ago, Ye Yan was reborn into this world and awakened a system that made him stronger by drinking alcohol. The more alcohol he drank, the more his soul power increased.
Furthermore, the quality of the wine also matters; the better the wine, the greater the increase in soul power.
The alcohol he drank was converted into soul power by the system, but the intoxication could not be converted, which is why Ye Yan is in his current state where he can drink continuously but remains intoxicated.
Although the wine on the outer perimeter isn't as good as the wine on the inner perimeter for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it's still one gold soul coin per pound.
Ye Yan also wanted to take this opportunity to break through his soul power to ninety. He could feel that he was close to breaking through. Although the quality of these wines was not top-notch, there was plenty of them!
Upon reaching the second pool of wine, Ye Yan plunged into it with a splash.
Glug glug—
Everyone around looked over, and saw a whirlpool in the wine pool, and soon all the wine in the pool went into Ye Yan's stomach.
"What kind of freak is this! A whole pool of wine!"
"No, this is the second wine pool! He's already drunk the other one dry!"
The interior of the banquet hall.
Ning Fengzhi greeted the guests with a smile. Although it was his daughter's birthday party, it was also a party to promote cooperation among various parties.
"Sect Leader Ning is truly blessed! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is thriving, and your daughter is a true phoenix in the making!"
"Bishop Salas, welcome."
Salas is the supervising bishop of the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City, and even within the entire Spirit Hall, his status is second only to the Pope and the elders.
Even the emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire would have to give him some face!
He didn't come here to attend a little girl's birthday party; he wanted to use this party to win over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School on behalf of the Spirit Hall!
As one of the top three sects among the seven major sects of Douluo Continent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has two titled Douluo leaders and countless riches!
Once the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is brought under its control, the Spirit Hall's power will be unstoppable!
Ning Fengzhi was a shrewd man. He knew the other party's true purpose for coming, so during the casual conversation, he only talked about his daughter Ning Rongrong. Once the topic was changed, Ning Fengzhi would change the subject.
Salas was annoyed by Ning Fengzhi's rhetoric, so he picked up a glass of wine and walked away to the other side.
"The Spirit Hall is far too arrogant to think it can bring the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School under its control!"
Ning Fengzhi gave a wry smile and said, "Uncle Jian, the other party hasn't gone far yet."
"I'd say that even to his face!"
Sword Douluo looked displeased. He already had some personal grudges against the Spirit Hall. Besides, with his strength, even without talking behind his back, what could they do to him?
Ning Fengzhi could only change the subject, saying, "By the way, why haven't I seen Rongrong yet? She's the main character today, and I'm going to take her to meet some of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's allies later."
Ning Fengzhi had already begun to cultivate Ning Rongrong as the successor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a long time ago. However, Ning Rongrong is still young and at an age where she is playful. She needs to be trained more before she can stand on her own.
Everything Ning Fengzhi is doing now is paving the way for her future.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin looked around but didn't see Ning Rongrong.
"I don't know either, maybe they're still in their room."
"This child is still throwing a tantrum at a time like this."
Ning Fengzhi sighed. He had spoiled her all these years. If it were just him, it might not be so serious, but the Sword Douluo and the other Bone Douluo, a retainer of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, both regarded Ning Rongrong as their own granddaughter.
Spoiled by their love, she sometimes didn't even want to listen to her own father.
Every time he tried to discipline her, the two of them would stop him, which is why Ning Rongrong developed her current temper.
Hopefully, some opportunity will arise in the future to help her change these bad habits.
Just as Ning Fengzhi was about to greet the other guests, a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School quickly arrived in front of him.
"Sect Master, something terrible has happened! Miss was beaten up by a drunkard outside the banquet!"
The area outside the banquet was set up by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for the surrounding commoners. The entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was located in a valley some distance south of Tiandou City. Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had bought up all the land in the surrounding area, there were still some villages not far away.
With the idea of sharing joy with the people, Ning Fengzhi set up an outdoor banquet, where all the villagers in the surrounding area could come and enjoy free food and wine.
But how did Rongrong end up in that place?
Ning Fengzhi said anxiously, "Lead the way for me quickly!"
Let's go back to about ten minutes ago.
Outside the banquet, at least a thousand people were gathered around a wine pool, the last of the twenty. Everyone wanted to know if Ye Yan could finish this last one!
Because he had already drunk all the wine from the previous nineteen pools!
No one knew Ye Yan's name, but Ye Yan's ability to drink nineteen pools of wine in a row left a deep impression on them, and everyone called Ye Yan the "Wine Immortal"!
At this moment, they were all cheering for Ye Yan, wanting to see him drink the twentieth pool of wine!
"The Wine Immortal! The Wine Immortal! The Wine Immortal!"
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Ye Yan finished the last pool of wine, and at that moment, the system's voice sounded again.
[Ding! The wine has been converted into soul power!]
[Current Soul Power: Level 90!]
