136: Chapter 136 Late Stage of Celestial Being

On the eagle's back.

Su Xuan held Huang Rong in front while Guo Fu sat alone in the back, pouting with anger.

With the breeze blowing and nothing else to do, Su Xuan turned his gaze to his system space.

Looking at the dazzling array of medicinal herbs, Su Xuan's eyes couldn't help but flicker.

Why not brew the wine now?

Thinking of this, Su Xuan snapped back to attention, took out the purple gold jade gourd from his system space, opened the stopper, and prepared.

Then, with practiced ease, he used his intent to command, 'Brew!'

As the words fell, the medicinal herbs in the system space instantly turned into powder and slowly dissipated.

At the same time, a vortex formed of wine suddenly appeared in the air, gradually increasing in size.

Seeing the wine was about to be carried away by the wind, Su Xuan hurriedly picked up the purple gold jade gourd and collected the wine.

Only after all the wine was collected did Su Xuan belatedly let out a sigh of relief.

He had forgotten they were in the sky; it almost spilled. Luckily, he was quick to collect it all.

It should be known that there were two gourds of high-grade wine inside. Losing even a single drop would be enough to make Su Xuan's heart ache.

Aside from the two gourds of high-grade wine, there were also fourteen gourds of medium-grade wine.

While Su Xuan's heart, which had been pounding with fear, finally settled down, Guo Fu's previously calm mood suddenly became agitated.

Witnessing this strange scene, Guo Fu's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

Where did that gourd come from?!

I didn't see it on Su Xuan earlier?!

And, is that wine?!

Guo Fu sat behind Su Xuan and the other woman; the aroma of wine drifted over with the wind.

A young lady of noble birth like Guo Fu could hardly fail to recognize the scent of wine...

But where did it come from?!

With just a casual wave, a small pool of liquid appeared in the air?

It definitely couldn't have been created from nothing! How could anyone in this world create wine out of thin air?

As she thought, Guo Fu couldn't help but give Su Xuan a strange look.

Could it be that Su Xuan... urinated? And then collected it with the gourd?

Thinking this, Guo Fu couldn't help but get goosebumps. She quickly shook her head, dispelling the improper thought.

After doing this, Guo Fu subconsciously shifted further back, putting a bit more distance between herself and Su Xuan.

These minor actions, of course, went unnoticed by Su Xuan.

The aroma of wine slowly wafted into his nostrils with the breeze, causing Su Xuan to swallow his saliva involuntarily.

high-grade wine was indeed tempting. Just its fragrance was enough to stir Su Xuan's craving.

Ever since Su Xuan's cultivation level grew higher and higher, he had gained full control over the Breakthrough Aura that followed drinking. It no longer caused any disturbance.

Thinking this, Su Xuan hesitated no longer. He lifted the wine gourd and began drinking large mouthfuls.

"Gulp~" "Gulp~" "Gulp~" "..."

As the wine entered his stomach, an extremely pure Internal Energy surged forth within Su Xuan's body.

It slowly spread from his neck through the Meridians throughout his body, finally flowing into his Dantian.

At the same time, a heavenly sound reached Su Xuan's ears.

[Ding, Internal Energy increased by 9.1 years!]

[Ding, Internal Energy increased by 8.9 years!]

[Ding, Internal Energy increased by 1.9 years!]

[Ding, Internal Energy increased by 2 years!]

[Ding, Internal Energy increased by 1.5 years!]

[Ding...]

[...]

[Ding, Internal Energy increased by 1.8 years!]

[Ding, congratulations to the Host for breaking through to the Late Heaven-Man Realm!]

[Ding, Internal Energy increased by 1.4 years!]

[Ding, Internal Energy increased by 1.6 years!]

As the final System notification sounded, a mysterious and profound Aura suddenly surged from Su Xuan's entire body.

It slowly enveloped Huang Rong and the other woman from around Su Xuan's person.

Guo Fu's martial arts were low; she felt nothing. Huang Rong, however, perceived it.

Huang Rong was inwardly startled. She had never felt an Aura like this before—so powerful yet peaceful, as if containing boundless strength.

At this moment, Su Xuan's eyes were tightly shut, his expression serene, as if comprehending a certain state or Realm.

Huang Rong quietly observed him, sighing inwardly: Is this the Heaven-Man Realm?

Just from experiencing it briefly, she felt her own martial Realm trembling.

The more she looked, the brighter the wonder shone in Huang Rong's beautiful eyes.

Putting everything else aside, A Xuan's cultivation progress was truly fast!

Such a rate of improvement was something Huang Rong had never seen before and would absolutely never see again.

Truly, unprecedented and never to be surpassed!

As if sensing Huang Rong's gaze, Su Xuan slowly opened his starry eyes, a glimmer of light flashing within them.

Su Xuan clenched his fist, feeling the explosively increased Internal Energy within his body, feeling somewhat excited.

Before his excitement could last, a glance from the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of something. He gave a light smile, "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing..." Hearing Su Xuan's voice, Huang Rong snapped out of her shock and slowly leaned against Su Xuan's shoulder.

Since Huang Rong didn't say, Su Xuan didn't ask further. He simply gently wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

Seeing Su Xuan and the other woman embracing right in front of her again, Guo Fu pursed her lips, turned her head away with a jealous air...

If she couldn't control it, she simply wouldn't bother. Otherwise, in the end, she'd be the one suffering...

As long as Mother is happy, that's enough...

Six days later.

At the gates of Yuzhou City.

Huang Rong walked arm-in-arm with Su Xuan, while Guo Fu curiously wandered about nearby.

Putting appearances aside, it was like a sweet family of three out for a stroll.

Su Xuan and Huang Rong walked along chatting and laughing. Just as they were nearing the city gates,

A woman wearing a blue face scarf and her hair tied in a high ponytail suddenly rushed out from ahead, riding a horse and charging forward urgently...

While galloping wildly on her horse, she also shouted anxiously, "Make way! Make way!!"

Seeing this, Su Xuan quickly pulled Huang Rong to the side to clear the path.

The woman had just raced past when over a dozen people wearing black armor, strange masks, and holding curved blades rushed out from within the city gates, riding horses in hot pursuit.

"Catch her..."
