Chapter 88 Peerless in the Mortal World
```
Jiang Fan saw that Lu Yi was unharmed and sighed in relief. He spoke up, "I saw several teams from the Heavenly Snake Sect and Blood Spirit Sect Disciples moving together, and they all seemed to be heading in the same direction. I felt that there was something off about them, so I captured a disciple of the Heavenly Snake Sect and interrogated him. After discovering they planned to ambush you, Junior Brother Lu, I rushed over to help you out!"
Lu Yi, noticing that Jiang Fan's breath had not yet settled, smiled slightly, feeling a warmth in his heart.
It had to be said that Jiang Fan hurrying over showed he hadn't been mistaken in helping him before.
Lu Yi chuckled, "Brother Jiang Fan, there's no need to worry. Why don't you have a seat and join us for a bite?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yu Jing and Wang Chuanlu, who were nearby, lit up at the sight of Jiang Fan's arrival.
Yu Jing hurriedly said, "Brother Jiang Fan, you're here! You're close to Junior Brother Lu; please, try to persuade him. We still have time to make a getaway! After all, Junior Brother has only been practicing cultivation for a short period. He can wait to grow stronger before taking on the Blood Spirit Sect and Heavenly Snake Sect. There's no need for this bravado."
Wang Chuanlu also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Brother Jiang Fan, please persuade Junior Brother Lu. We two can't talk him out of it! Xue Tianhen and Qin Luo are formidable opponents and not to be trifled with."
Hearing this, Jiang Fan looked at Lu Yi thoughtfully, saw his calm expression, and laughed freely. He sat down beside Lu Yi, "Since Junior Brother Lu has decided to stay, then your senior brother will keep you company to the end. Do we have any wine? Just having roasted meat seems a bit dry."
Lu Yi smiled and brought out the Concentrating Spirit Dew, "There's fine wine right here, drink as you please."
Upon seeing the Concentrating Spirit Dew, Jiang Fan's eyes twinkled, and he licked his lips, "Concentrating Spirit Dew, huh? The last time I had it was half a year ago. I'm finally able to taste it again."
Yu Jing: "..."
Wang Chuanlu: "..."
The two of them looked at Jiang Fan, who had an eager gleam in his eyes at the sight of the Concentrating Spirit Dew, and felt somewhat numb.
After exchanging a glance, both felt mentally and physically exhausted.
"Brother Jiang Fan, what are you doing?"
"Yeah, Brother Jiang Fan, how can you join Junior Brother Lu in this recklessness?"
Lu Yi glanced at the two of them and smiled, "If the two senior brothers are concerned, feel free to leave first. You might not be able to later on."
Upon hearing this, Yu Jing and Wang Chuanlu turned serious.
Yu Jing spoke, "If Junior Brother thinks so lightly of us, he's mistaken!"
"Exactly, if it weren't for Junior Brother's help, we would have already been ambushed. Not to mention the fact that Junior Brother gave us White Jade Pills to heal our injuries. That's a debt of life-saving grace. How could we possibly leave Junior Brother's side at a time like this?"
Jiang Fan glanced at them, his expression softening. He took the wine jug from Lu Yi's hand, chuckled, and said, "Since we've decided to stay, let's enjoy the drink. This Concentrating Spirit Dew is truly an extraordinary brew that the two senior brothers will surely like."
With that, he poured wine into four cups and, with a wave of his hand, sent three cups floating towards Lu Yi, Yu Jing, and Wang Chuanlu.
Yu Jing and Wang Chuanlu took their cups, and Wang Chuanlu said dubiously, "I believe it's fine wine, but I've been cultivating for decades, and I've had my share of drinks. Calling it an 'extraordinary brew' might be a bit of an exaggeration."
As he took a sip, the taste of the Concentrating Spirit Dew brought a cool sensation that slowly rose up, gathering at the center of his forehead. He felt his spiritual power become exceptionally active and felt a slight increase.
Wang Chuanlu's eyes bulged, and he froze on the spot, his expression one of shock.
Seeing Wang Chuanlu's odd expression, Yu Jing said with a peculiar look, "Brother Wang, your face is a bit too exaggerated. It's as if you're overacting in a play."
As he too took a sip and felt the change, Yu Jing's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "This wine can enhance spiritual power?!"
It was known that even at the Foundation Establishment Realm, elixirs and Cultivation Techniques that could enhance spiritual power were exceedingly precious treasures.
And this wine, seemingly at only the Qi Cultivation Realm level of spiritual energy fluctuation, could actually enhance spiritual power?!
Both Yu Jing and Wang Chuanlu found it hard to believe, as if they were dreaming.
Seeing their shocked expressions, Jiang Fan remembered his own astonishment when he first tasted Concentrating Spirit Dew. He drained his cup in one go and laughed heartily, "Don't you think it's true, senior brothers? Isn't this wine worthy of being called extraordinary?"
Wang Chuanlu and Yu Jing snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, and looked at Jiang Fan, then turned to Lu Yi.
"Brother Jiang wasn't exaggerating at all."
"Amazing wine, it truly is!" Yu Jing looked at Lu Yi with sparkling eyes, full of expectation, "Junior Brother Lu, where did you buy this wine? I want to buy some myself!"
This was a brew that could enhance one's spirit power! Naturally, Yu Jing wouldn't want to miss out.
Lu Yi laughed, "It's not that precious; I brewed it during my spare time. It's just that brewing is rather time-consuming and labor-intensive. If the senior brothers need it, I can give you two jars later on."
Since the two senior brothers were willing to stay, and from their perspective, they were probably prepared for a desperate fight, Lu Yi wouldn't be stingy.
"You brewed it yourself?!"
"You... Junior Brother, you have such Spirit Chef skills, and on top of that, you're able to brew such exquisite wine?!" Explore new worlds at empire
Both were shocked.
Lu Yi nodded with a light laugh, "I was lucky enough to acquire a recipe, so I tried brewing it, and surprisingly, it turned out well."
Yu Jing and Wang Chuanlu were speechless.
Once again, they felt the vast chasm between themselves and someone else.
The three of them drank and ate meat, while the presence of others grew closer and closer in the distance. Jiang Fan and the others didn't notice, but Lu Yi did.
