In the Shang Dynasty, Du Kang relied on his official position and the capital as the core to actively promote wine and spread the concept of health, which caused the drinking culture to sprout everywhere in the Shang Dynasty, and even spread to further places, and was eventually introduced to Xia Huangjie. in the ears.
Xia City, as the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, has been regarded as a holy place for mankind since the time of Emperor Yu's flood control in ancient times. Over tens of thousands of years of changes, the city has developed into a tall, majestic and majestic capital.
The city walls are mottled and stained with traces of time, revealing the vicissitudes of ancient style.
The city is densely packed with houses, shops, and people, making it very prosperous.
People of all kinds gather here, from wealthy businessmen to ordinary people, from noble princes to civilian slaves, and it is full of the grandeur and hustle and bustle of the Kyushu capital.
However, due to the extravagance and debauchery of the current Xia Emperor, the city has an extravagant atmosphere.
In Xia Huangjie's palace, there were many pavilions and pavilions. When he heard Ye Lingtian's name, his brows moved slightly.
This wasn't the first time he heard the name.
Ever since fine wine became popular in Kyushu, Jie had heard stories about Ye Lingtian many times.
Legend has it that he had extraordinary brewing skills and was able to brew a variety of wines with unique flavors. He might even be a master of wine.
Therefore, after Xia Jie ascended the throne a few years ago, he specially recruited talents who had studied in Qingcheng Mountain to enter the palace and let them brew fine wine for the royal family.
The wines they make are delicious and unforgettable. Some innovative wines are even more unforgettable.
However, good times are always short-lived, just like the beauty of people, they cannot last.
As the years went by, Xia Jie's mood gradually became restless. He lost interest in the sommelier's daily fine wines and was eager to try novel delicacies.
In order to solve this problem, Xia Jie decided to invite the famous chef fairy Qingyang Mountain into the palace.
Xia Jie is full of yearning for the legendary wine of Qingcheng Mountain Master. He hopes to taste it himself to confirm whether the reputation is worthy of the name.
As the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Jie had supreme power and endless resources.
His position was secure and supported by the right time, place and people, making him omnipotent.
Many powerful people gathered around him, including those practitioners and immortals who were willing to surrender to him.
Under this background, Xia Jie thought that it would be easy for him to invite Ye Lingtian, a loose immortal, into the palace.
In Qingcheng Mountain, Ye Lingtian knew nothing about Xia Jie's summons.
He is busy practicing in seclusion, concentrating on the further study of wine art and the improvement of wine recipe theory, hoping to meet the upcoming challenges with a perfect posture.
The more good causes you plant, the more good fruits you will reap in the future.
But things often backfire, and life is full of unpredictable variables.
A few months later, a meteor pierced the night sky and landed at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain.
In the courtyard, Ye Lingtian felt the strange movement between heaven and earth. He immediately stood up and took a step forward. With a flash of light and clouds and mist, he appeared on the top of Qingcheng Mountain, facing off against the visitor through the light barrier of the mountain-protecting formation.
"Where does this distinguished guest come from? What is the purpose of this trip?"
Ye Lingtian asked, his face filled with curiosity.
He had been in Qingyang Mountain for decades and rarely interacted with outside practitioners. Regarding this person's uninvited arrival, he naturally wanted to find out what was going on.
The person who came was a white-haired old Taoist, holding a fly whisk, with a transcendent temperament, an immortal spirit, and a very immortal demeanor. He was a true immortal.
"I am a poor Taoist, old man with green pine trees, and I have admired the name of my fellow Taoist for a long time."
"My Taoist friend has extraordinary wine skills, and his reputation spreads far and wide. Even in Xia City, old Taoists have heard about it."
"Emperor Xia has been longing for talented people for a long time. When he learned about his friend, he specially sent an old Taoist to invite him. He hopes that he can go to the Great Xia Palace, become Emperor Xia's guest, and make delicious wine for him."
"If fellow Taoist nods, Emperor Xia will definitely treat others with leniency and not be stingy with any rewards."
Old Cangsong looked respectful on the surface, but felt helpless in his heart.
He originally thought that the sage from Qingcheng Mountain was just a loose immortal. It was extraordinary to be able to cultivate to the level of heavenly immortal in thousands of years.
He himself is a true immortal, and he was invited by the order of the contemporary Emperor, so this matter should be a sure thing.
However, to his surprise, Ye Lingtian was actually a true immortal with perfect cultivation. His strength far exceeded his imagination. Judging from his age, he would not be more than five thousand years old.
This young immortal is obviously not an ordinary loose immortal. He may have a very prominent background. He may be a descendant of a famous family, or he may have a Taiyi Golden Immortal-level mentor behind him to provide support.
Under any unfavorable circumstances, Ye Lingtian was not an opponent that Old Man Cangsong could easily deal with.
Although he had the support of the Great Xia Dynasty, he came alone this time.
"I appreciate Emperor Xia's kindness."
"But I have a master's order here, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to follow it."
Ye Lingtian knew that the situation in the Great Xia Dynasty was turbulent, and he was unwilling to take the risk of getting involved, so he firmly refused.
"I wonder which senior has trained such an outstanding junior?"
Out of curiosity, Ling Yuanzi continued to ask.
"My master is Fairy Yunmeng Caiyun, a second-generation disciple of Jie Jiao."
In order to have an explanation when he went back, and to satisfy his curiosity, Old Cangsong continued to ask.
Ye Lingtian did not hide his origins. He directly revealed his identity and used the reputation of Jie Jiao to intimidate the Xia Dynasty and defeat the Xia Emperor's attempts.
Sure enough, when Ye Lingtian finished speaking, Old Cangsong was shocked.
He originally guessed that Ye Lingtian's sect was of great importance, but he never expected that this sage actually came from the Sage Sect.
In the end, Old Man Cangsong returned without success.
But he was not depressed at all, because Jie Jiao's reputation was well known to everyone. Even if he failed in this mission, Emperor Xia would not blame him. Instead, he might give him heavenly materials and earthly treasures as a sign of appeasement.
After Old Man Cangsong left, Ye Lingtian still maintained his usual calmness and organization, and continued his work of accumulating merit.
Although Daxia's messenger brought some subtle changes, it was just a small disturbance in his life, and he did not change his rhythm because of it.
Although Xia Jie has a reputation for extravagance, his ability to ascend to the position of human emperor is enough to prove his extraordinary talents. He can stand out among many competitors, unify the world, and control Kyushu. He is by no means an ordinary person.
When facing various forces, he may show a crazy and domineering attitude, but when facing the Saint Sect, he has to show respect.
Especially when Xia Jie came to the throne, he would not easily let himself get lost in madness, let alone ignore the overall situation due to temporary greed.
Just like the future King Zhou of Yin, there was a wise and heroic period when he first became the Human Emperor.
Things developed just as Ye Lingtian predicted.
When the old man Cangsong returned without success and conveyed the news to Xia Jie, although Xia Jie was a little unwilling, as the contemporary human emperor, he still chose to be patient.
As a saintly orthodoxy, Jie Jiao was not willing to offend easily even with strong support from the Great Xia Dynasty.
In order to show that he had no intention of offending Jiejiao, Emperor Xia specially prepared a generous gift and sent Old Cangsong to carry it and send it to Ye Lingtian as a sign of peace.
Ye Lingtian happily accepted such a gift, showing his magnanimity and tolerance.
