Chapter 69 Comprehension in a Drunken State and the Eclipse Sword Technique
The number one estate in the world.
Haitang welcomed Gu Qianbei and Zhang Jinjiu, who were returning late.
"Thank you both for your hard work. I didn't expect that you would solve the counterfeit money case in just one day and successfully persuade Zhu Ting to join the number one manor in the world."
I, the owner of this estate, will always remember this merit.
"The conditions I promised you two before, the number one manor in the world will definitely fulfill."
Haitang said with a smile, her gaze towards Gu Qianbei full of admiration.
She clearly already knew everything.
They also learned about the significant role Gu Qianbei played in it.
"The manor lord's information network is truly impressive. We've only just returned from the Six Doors, and you already know everything."
Gu Qianbei laughed.
"How can one become the master of the number one manor in the world without some tricks up their sleeve? I think you two must be tired. I've already had someone prepare bathwater and food for you. You can enjoy them anytime if you wish."
"I can't take it anymore, all I want to do now is sleep. See you tomorrow, Brother Gu."
After finishing his sentence, Zhang Jinjiu staggered towards his room, still slightly drunk.
"The night is long, and I have no desire to sleep. I'm covered in sweat and blood, so I need to wash myself off. Since you're so kind, Master, I won't stand on ceremony."
"Brother Gu, please don't stand on ceremony, enjoy yourself to the fullest."
As Haitang said, taking a bath is indeed a great pleasure.
Three maids bathed Gu Qianbei together. Although it was a green, healthy, and refreshing activity, he had never experienced being served like this in either of his lives.
"The best manor in the world is truly wonderful."
Gu Qianbei couldn't help but sigh.
After taking a shower and having a late-night snack, he didn't go back to his room to sleep immediately. Instead, he went to the brewery to check on the brewing of the Thousand-Day Intoxication.
Having acquired Zhang Jinjiu's chivalrous spirit, he is now eager to brew the Thousand-Day Drunken Wine.
"This time, I brewed three large jars of Thousand-Day Intoxication, but the martial arts spirit can only be used on one of them. So this jar will be mine, and the rest will be left to the Number One Manor in the World."
Based on past experience, wines imbued with a martial arts spirit can not only shorten brewing time but also improve quality.
Not to mention the shortened time, the improved quality is something that can only be obtained by chance.
Those are all unique pieces.
Gu Qianbei was naturally reluctant to give such a good thing to the number one manor in the world.
"Ding! Successfully infused with martial arts spirit, Thousand Days of Intoxication brewing complete, quality upgraded to Spirit Wine!"
It has a special effect: Enlightenment in a Drunken State (the host can only use it once a day, and others only have a chance to trigger it on their first drink. In this state, enlightenment can be increased tenfold).
(Note: Regular Thousand Days' Intoxication does not have this effect)
Congratulations, host! You have successfully brewed your first spirit wine. The reward is doubled, and you have obtained the Eclipse Sword Technique.
The system's voice immediately brought a look of joy to Gu Qianbei's face.
Enlightenment while intoxicated, the Eclipse Sword Technique!
Both of these are rare finds.
A moment of enlightenment while drunk can instantly maximize Gu Qianbei's efficiency in comprehending martial arts.
One sip of wine and he enters a state of near-enlightenment, which is simply unbeatable in cultivation.
The Eclipse Sword Technique is the Duan family's ultimate martial art in the world of Feng Yun, consisting of eight forms, and is extremely powerful and yang.
Although it is not considered a top-tier martial art in the world of Fengyun, it is far superior to the Golden Summit Nine Styles and the Divine Gate Thirteen Swords.
This can perfectly compensate for Gu Qianbei's shortcomings in swordsmanship.
Furthermore, Fengyun is a world of high martial arts, and even if the martial arts in it are not top-notch, they are still much better than those in most martial arts worlds.
Gu Qianbei felt a surge of information flooding into her mind, so she closed her eyes and focused on sensing it.
At that moment, he felt as if a ferocious fire unicorn was churning in his mind.
A wave of intense heat enveloped his entire body, and when he opened his eyes again, a faint red light flickered within them.
"The Eclipse Sword Technique, such powerful fiery energy. This sword technique seems to differ from the original Eclipse Sword Technique; it can unleash its full power without needing to be paired with the Fire Scale Sword."
With a thought, Gu Qianbei conjured a golden sword.
Then, the sword techniques of the Eclipse Swordplay circulated through his meridians, and the golden sword was immediately tinged with firelight, its blade turning crimson with flickering flames.
"The internal energy circulation method of the Eclipse Sword Technique, combined with the Golden Light Mantra, creates a sword blade that actually carries some of the aura of the Fire Kirin Sword. It's truly interesting."
"Perfect timing to try comprehending the art while drunk, see if it helps me grasp the Eclipse Sword Technique."
Thinking this, Gu Qianbei took out the Cangguang Gourd and put all the freshly brewed Thousand Days Intoxication into it.
The rich aroma of wine immediately filled the entire brewery.
"Indeed, fine wine."
With a gentle sniff of the aroma of the wine, Gu Qianbei felt himself becoming somewhat intoxicated.
Without further hesitation, he picked up the gourd and took a sip.
The next moment, Gu Qianbei felt a slight intoxication in his mind, and then his eyelids became heavy, and his eyes were already blurry with drunkenness.
"This feeling is truly mysterious."
Gu Qianbei swayed slightly, as if he was about to collapse drunk at any moment.
The Nine Heavens Wine Transformation Technique was activated, refining the power of the wine into internal energy, but the intoxication remained.
If it weren't for the Nine Heavens Wine Transformation Technique automatically activating, he would probably be drunk on the ground by now, for at least three days, or at most three months.
At this moment, he was not drunk at all; on the contrary, he felt that his mind was incredibly clear.
The newly acquired Eclipse Sword Technique held no secrets for him; it seemed he could comprehend it at any time.
Suddenly, he moved and was already outside the brewery.
"The sun breaks through the darkness!"
The first move of the Eclipse Sword Technique was unleashed in Gu Qianbei's hands.
His first attempt was a little clumsy, but after Gu Qianbei used it several times in a row, his swordsmanship gradually became more refined, and the crimson light became more solid.
"This dawn of white sunlight does bear some resemblance to the golden light of Buddha on the summit."
Gu Qianbei recalled the first move of the Nine Golden Peaks Forms and felt that the two had some similarities.
However, in terms of sheer power, the White Sun Dawn far surpasses the Golden Summit Buddha Light.
Gu Qianbei practiced all eight forms of the Eclipse Sword Technique in one go.
After he used his final move, Fire Scales Eroding the Sun, he felt completely refreshed, but also felt a bit overwhelmed by the depletion of his internal energy.
"Hoo... This Eclipse Sword Technique is incredibly powerful, but it also consumes a lot of energy. Using a single set of the sword technique actually used up one-fifth of my internal energy."
Fortunately, I have Dragon Tiger Wine to restore internal energy, which can quickly replenish this depletion.
Gu Qianbei took out the Cangguang Gourd and took two big gulps, which restored most of the internal energy he had just used.
"Your swordsmanship is quite good; it wasn't a waste of time. However, after breaking through to the Innate Realm, the speed at which the Dragon Tiger Wine replenishes its internal energy is somewhat disappointing."
I wonder if there will be better wines in the future to restore my internal strength and physical strength.
While other wines can also restore internal energy after being refined using the Nine Heavens Wine Transformation Technique, the cost is too high, making them far less cost-effective than Dragon Tiger Wine.
Gu Qianbei murmured to himself, then dismissed the crimson longsword in his hand.
At this moment, he also withdrew from his drunken state of enlightenment.
The effects of the alcohol wore off, leaving only a refreshing feeling.
"It feels like you're on top of having cheat codes, and then on top of that, it's just... awesome."
Gu Qianbei couldn't suppress the urge to smile.
