“What’re you doing?”

Zhang Ruochen grabbed the gourd tightly and shot a glare at the Crazy Alcoholic.

“Why’re you so anxious? It’s just a gourd. Do you really think I’ll seize your gourd? Let me see the gourd, young man.”

The Crazy Alcoholic stared at the gourd. And he couldn’t have been more excited.

“It’s just a gourd. Why are you so pushy?”

Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t give it to him. There were some ancient characters sculpted on the gourd.

They were some characters from a long time ago. They were completely different from the characters of the present days.

Crazy alcoholic looked and said, “Can you even understand that? Let me tell you what they’re talking about. Perhaps I can give you a thousand-patterns saint weapon for that gourd. Although that gourd is worth way less than a thousand-patterns saint weapon, I can let you have it since we’re friends.”

“Do you really think I don’t know what they are? They’re seal scripts,” Zhang Ruochen said.

The Crazy Alcoholic looked surprised. He said, “You know they’re seal scripts? You’re impressive.”

Seal scripts were characters had descended from the ancient times, and they weren’t even in the mainstream character system. Few monks these days could recognize them.

Zhang Ruochen knew what they were talking about. He sighed. “Those characters have the conception of saintly way. Unfortunately, they’re just a poem. There’s nothing valuable in that script.”

Zhang Ruochen was a bit upset. He then looked at the gourd in his hand and said, “However, this gourd is kind of special. It looks like a treasure.”

Zhang Ruochen mobilized his holy Qi and infused it into the gourd.

Hua La.

A trace of holy Qi gushed out of the gourd and turned into white mist, and it made the icebergs under their feet look like they were from heaven.

The mist formed a long bridge and connected to the ocean.

The more holy Qi there was into the gourd, the more spirit holy Qi that would gush out of the gourd. After a short while, the spirit holy Qi became so dense that it started to rain.

It was raining on the ocean.

“Mercury Gourd. It’s Mercury Gourd… There’re so many valuables left in the Abandoned Deep Sea. Even a legendary valuable like that shows up,” the Crazy Alcoholic said with excitement.

Zhang Ruochen also identified the mercury gourd.

There were five divine trees born in Kunlun’s Field, and they were called the five spiritual roots.

The Plantain Divine Tree was called the water spiritual root, and there was a gourd vine grown on the divine tree, which was called the mercury vine.

The gourd grown from the mercury vine was as large as planets, and there was holy Qi of water characteristics on the surface of the gourd. It was raining the entire day.

There were more than ten planets on one vine, so the mercury vine obtained such a name.

The gourds grown on the mercury vine were all taken by the great beings from the ancient times, and they were made into incredible valuables. However, only one or two survived during the chaos at the end of the ancient times.

The eyes of the Crazy Alcoholic turned green. He stared at the mercury gourd in Zhang Ruochen’s hand and said, “I heard that the guarding treasure of one of the seven ancient sects, Xinsu Sect, Difa Gourd, is made of a mercury gourd. There’s a separate world inside the gourd where there’s spirit divine Qi from the ancient times.”

Zhang Ruochen was worried that the Crazy Alcoholic would rob him of the treasure.

Even a supreme saint would be tempted by that treasure, not to mention the Crazy Alcoholic.

The Crazy Alcoholic showed his teeth and smiled. “Let’s exchange. I’ll give you my Three-Petal Nine Life Flower. You’re not gonna suffer any loss.”

Zhang Ruochen stayed calm, smiled and said, “Are you going to rob me ofmy gourd if I say no?”

“Rob?”

The Crazy Alcoholic was furious. He said, “Who do you think I am? A gangster? I won’t do anything like that. If I really wanted to rob you, everything you have would be mine now. I’m really negotiating with you. We’re drinking buddies, how could I rob you for some valuable?”

Zhang Ruochen found that what he said made sense.

Everyone knew that Zhang Ruochen had heir stamps, Buddha sarira and the world spirit of Blue Dragon Void World… Each of them was a supreme treasure.

The Crazy Alcoholic knew who he was, yet he had never attacked Zhang Ruochen for those treasures. He wasn’t sure whether the Crazy Alcoholic was really a man of honor, or if he had treated Zhang Ruochen as a real friend.

He didn’t have any plans to steal the mercury gourd. Instead, he really wanted to strike a bargain with Zhang Ruochen.

The behavior and characteristics of the Crazy Alcoholic were getting more and more bizarre.

He swore that he would never kill anyone, but he had never sworn that he wouldn’t rob other people.

Besides, he stole all the alcohol of the Divine Dragon Half-human race. How was that a man of honor?

Zhang Ruochen decided to test him again. He said, “I’m not going to do it.”

The Crazy Alcoholic was so anxious. He said, “The mercury gourd is of no use for you. It’ll be a waste if you keep it.”

“Then what use will it be for you?” Zhang Ruochen said.

The Crazy Alcoholic said, “Of course, it’ll be of great use. Only the spirit holy Qi inside the mercury gourd can make the legendary Six Saints to Sky Wine.”

“You don’t have the formula to make Six Saints to Sky Wine. Even if you have the gourd, you couldn’t make the wine.” Zhang Ruochen smiled.

The Crazy Alcoholic shook his head and said, “Even if I’m not going to make Six Saints to Sky Wine, I can improve other wine with the spirit holy Qi in the mercury gourd. The mercury gourd can only be perfectly utilized if I have it.”

“That might be the case for you, but the spirit holy Qi inside the gourd can also help me refine. The mercury gourd itself is also an impressive weapon. Perhaps there’re other valuables inside the gourd,” Zhang Ruochen said.

The Crazy Alcoholic had a hard time suppressing his desire. He really wanted to grab the mercury gourd, but he had sworn before that he would never kill and rob.

Unless there was alcohol involved.

For an alcoholic, it would be agony if he couldn’t drink the wine he saw.

Zhang Ruochen thought for a short while and said, “Perhaps you can tell me why you swore that you would never kill again.”

The Crazy Alcoholic rolled his eyes and said, “No.”

“If you want to make wine, I can give you the spirit holy Qi inside the mercury gourd.” Zhang Ruochen said.

The Crazy Alcoholic was tempted. He smiled and sat down. He said, “Promise?”

“Promise.”

The Crazy Alcoholic said, “It’s not something to be ashamed of now. I can tell you everything. I’ll make the story short. Actually, I was forced by that empress to swear.”

“And then?”

Zhang Ruochen was surprised that it had something to do with Chi Yao.

The Crazy Alcoholic shrugged his shoulders. “Nothing.”

It was such a short story.

Zhang Ruochen kept asking. “Why did that empress force you to make a promise?”

The Crazy Alcoholic looked upset and he thought that Zhang Ruochen had asked too many questions. However, to get the spirit holy Qi inside the mercury gourd, he said, “I was captured by her. If I didn’t make the promise, I would have been killed.”

“When did that happen?” Zhang Ruochen asked again.

“Six hundred years ago. I can’t remember when exactly!” the Crazy Alcoholic said.

“Six hundred years ago…” Zhang Ruochen mumbled. And then he smiled. “I know that Empress Chi Yao wasn’t an empress six hundred years ago. She was just a princess back then.

“It was documented that princess Chi Yao led an army to attack Moon Worship Demonic Sect and killed Demonic Emperor in Tong Luyuan. After that, Moon Worship Demonic Sect was crushed, and eighty percent of the great beings were killed. Even after hundreds of years, it hasn’t recovered yet.

“That was the last war before Chi Qing Central Empire. After that, all the ancient sects claimed that they would answer to Chi Yao and Qing Emperor.

“Were you captured during that war?”

The Crazy Alcoholic took a sip of wine and waved his hand. “I can’t remember.”

Zhang Ruochen knew that the Crazy Alcoholic didn’t want to share much about what had happened before, so he didn’t ask any further questions. However, he confirmed that the Crazy Alcoholic might be someone famous from the demonic sect.

Zhang Ruochen opened the gourd and inspected the mercury gourd. He wanted to see whether it was really that mysterious or not.

Zhang Ruochen could see a small black spot inside the lid.

“What is that?”

Zhang Ruochen infused the gourd lid with holy Qi, and the lid became larger and larger. Eventually, it was the size of a lower millstone.

Those black spots also became larger, and they turned into an ancient article again.

They were also written in seal scripts.

The Crazy Alcoholic stared at the characters on the lid, then he yelled and laughed.

Zhang Ruochen was startled. He frowned and looked to the seal scripts. He then laughed, “That formula for making Six Saints to Sky Wine was sculpted on the mercury gourd.

The Crazy Alcoholic grabbed the arms of Zhang Ruochen and said, “Let’s make the Sky Wine together, shall we? After all, we’ll name it Two Saints to Sky Wine. Our names will be remembered forever.”
