Chapter 737: Chapter 737: The Wine Fairy Ancestor of the Lu Clan

”Oh, right, I forgot we have a pig with us!”

The Big Black Cat smacked its forehead, deliberately feigning annoyance.

While the Big Black Cat was momentarily distracted, the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon quickly clasped its pig trotters together and said with a fawning smile, ”Esteemed Seniors, this humble one is called the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon. I also belong to the Dragon Clan, but the Master transformed me into a pig, which is why I appear so adorable...”

”Haha!” Seeing this little horned pig make such a lively opening remark, all the great demon beasts burst into laughter.

”Oh my! What an adorable little pig. Who would’ve thought it was actually a dragon...” exclaimed Little Cat.

”Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon?” the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon exclaimed, ”Aren’t you the one from the Deep Well of Ghastly Corpse...”

”Yes, yes, I am that dragon!” the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon quickly nodded.

BANG!

A paw slapped it on the head, leaving the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon dizzy and seeing stars.

”Yes, your head! These Seniors are all profound cultivators. What makes you think you’re qualified to speak to them?” the Big Black Cat cursed irritably.

”Cat Brother, wasn’t I just trying to fit in with the group?” the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon said aggrievedly.

”Still trying to fit in with the group? You! Your intentions are thoroughly rotten!” the Big Black Cat scolded, glaring.

In its heart, the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon proclaimed itself Dragon Ancestor and even dared to challenge the Master. This is utter arrogance, a heinous crime!

Gazing at the adorable, miniature, bluish-red piglet, the Sky-boring Rat’s eyes darted about.

Haha, a stupid pig has finally arrived! At last, there’s a new outlet for firepower; my days will be much better from now on! the Sky-boring Rat gloated inwardly.

”Alright, Little black boy, stop bullying it. The Master only weakened it to the first level of the Life and Death Realm; it can’t pose a threat to you anymore...” the Big Black Horse said, smacking its lips and grinning.

”Uncle Ma is right!” the Big Black Cat chuckled fawningly, the earlier displeasure vanishing in an instant.

Carrying the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon, the Big Black Cat returned to the carriage and tossed it inside. Then, with a quick shake, it transformed into a small black cat.

”This...” The Saint of Eight Extremes was stunned, not knowing where he should stand. The carriage was full of cats, spiders, and silkworms, and there was even a small yellow mouse. It was rather crowded.

”Saint of Eight Extremes, there’s a spot over here. You can sit here!” The Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon shifted, making a little space.

”Alright, Senior!” The Saint of Eight Extremes smiled bitterly to himself. Having no other choice, he stepped over and sat down on the edge of the carriage.

This carriage? he wondered. As he reached out to touch it, he suddenly sensed something different about this carriage, and a shocked expression immediately appeared on his face.

”You guessed right. The Master’s carriage is also God level!” the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon said with a smile.

Hearing this, and recalling the gleaming golden Celestial Boat, the Saint of Eight Extremes’ expression changed once more.

”The Senior’s resources are truly too powerful...” the Saint of Eight Extremes stammered.

”Our Master’s resources are so vast, you can’t even begin to imagine...” the Immortal Divine Silkworm chuckled slyly.

As a demon beast that had been inside the storeroom, it naturally knew how terrifying the contents were.

The Saint of Eight Extremes dared not speak further and lowered his head in silence.

”I forgot to tell you, don’t reveal your cultivation base in the carriage. Suppress it to the Life and Death Realm...” the Immortal Divine Silkworm instructed.

”Understood!” The Saint of Eight Extremes took a deep breath and quickly suppressed the Super Divine Dragon Breath of his cultivation base.

”Master, where are we headed?” the Big Black Horse asked respectfully, turning its head.

”The Plough Heaven Dynasty,” Ye Yun replied faintly from inside the carriage.

”Alright!” the Big Black Horse responded, pulling the carriage as it tore through the sky.

「Inside the carriage.」

Ye Yun had his eyes closed. Although he was cultivating quietly, he was still paying attention to the situation on Langya Mountain.

「Over Langya Mountain.」

I’ve been away from the clan for so long; it’s time to go back... After a moment of silence, Lu Dayou finally made his decision.

A streak of light flew into Langya Mountain. During the flight, smelling the aroma of wine wafting through the air, Lu Dayou’s expression also became relaxed.

Although the Lu Clan was merely a power at the level of a superior great sect, they were, in fact, renowned throughout the entire Plough Heaven Dynasty. The Lu Clan’s wine-brewing techniques were unparalleled in the world.

WHOOSH!

A ray of light descended, and Lu Dayou landed before the mountain gate.

”Lu Dayou, weren’t you expelled from the Lu Clan? Why have you returned?” a young man guarding the mountain gate asked, looking at Lu Dayou with a surprised expression.

”I need to discuss something with the Clan Leader,” Lu Dayou said in a low voice, appearing somewhat reserved.

Although he was a member of Tianjige, he was merely an Outer Disciple. Moreover, due to sect regulations, his identity could not be exposed, so he had to keep it hidden. As for his expulsion from the Lu Clan, it was naturally because, in his youth, he had been arrogant and committed an unforgivable misdeed.

”Alright, I’ll go report to the Clan Leader for you.” After sizing up Lu Dayou and discovering his cultivation base was at the Life and Death Realm, the young man was so startled he turned and fled.

Back when Lu Dayou left the Lu Clan, his cultivation base hadn’t been this high. Unexpectedly, after all these years, he had become a great Cultivator of the Life and Death Realm. Such a cultivation base would make him an Elder-level figure even in the Lu Clan.

「A short while later.」

The young man ran back, panting, and said, ”The Clan Leader is waiting for you in the main hall.”

”Many thanks.” Lu Dayou clasped his fists, offered a polite word of thanks, then drifted through the mountain gate and headed straight for the main hall.

Along the way, Lu Dayou’s excitement grew.

When he had left the Lu Clan, his cultivation base was only at the Divine Bridge Realm.

「Upon his return.」

He was now a great Cultivator of the Life and Death Realm. A thousand long years had passed in a flash.

「Upon entering the main hall.」

Lu Dayou saw a familiar figure standing with their back to him.

”Clan Leader, I have returned,” Lu Dayou said, his voice thick with emotion as he clasped his fists.

”Dayou! I never expected you to have already become a great Cultivator of the Life and Death Realm!” an elderly man in a gray robe, his face deeply wrinkled, turned around and said with a profound sigh. This was the Lu Clan’s Clan Leader—Lu Zhenshan.

”Clan Leader, I indeed deserved to be expelled from the Lu Clan back then. However, I had to return this time because of an extremely important matter...” Lu Dayou explained, his gaze intent as he looked at the Clan Leader.

”Dayou, I was indeed too harsh back then, expelling you from the Lu Clan. This matter has weighed on my mind for so many years. I even sent people to look for you later, but they couldn’t find you...” Lu Zhenshan said with a sigh.

Hearing the Clan Leader’s words, Lu Dayou was deeply moved. He took out the black wine jar and presented it with both hands.

”Clan Leader, I came across this by chance. Could you see if it’s an ancestral heirloom of ours?” Lu Dayou asked respectfully.

Upon seeing the black wine jar, Lu Zhenshan was greatly startled. He quickly took it with both hands and held it up, examining it intently.

”Heaven Level... black wine jar...” He kept muttering these words, the light in his eyes growing increasingly brilliant.

”Yes, this is indeed an ancestral heirloom!” Lu Zhenshan exclaimed excitedly.

”Clan Leader, this wine jar... could it have belonged to our clan’s ancestor, the Wine Fairy?” Lu Dayou asked in a low voice.

”Indeed! This was brewed by the most powerful Wine Brewer in the history of our Lu Clan, the one also revered by the world as the Wine Fairy—our Ancestor Lu Linlang!” Lu Zhenshan declared, puffing out his chest, his eyes shining brightly, his expression full of spirit.

The Lu Clan’s brewing technique, having been renowned in the Plough Heaven Dynasty until now, naturally couldn’t be separated from this Wine Fairy ancestor.
