Chapter 267: What a coincidence!
The wine has a sweet, fruity taste when it first enters the mouth, but it is immediately followed by a spicy aftertaste that burns Jiang Lingyun's lungs and lungs, like a clear spring containing raging fire.
How could there be such a fine wine in the world, with such a contradictory flavor?
The medicinal power and essence contained in this wine are simply overwhelming. She has tasted all the fine wines in the world, but none of them are on the same level as this homemade wine!
Jiang Lingyun tilted her head back and drank the entire glass of wine in one gulp. Then she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and took several deep breaths as if savoring the taste of the wine.
Her expression grew increasingly entranced.
Seeing her expression, Gu Heng knew she must have discovered what he liked. Jiang Lingyun couldn't help but swallow hard, then looked up, her expression excited, her eyes shining.
"Young Master Gu's wine is extraordinary."
The taste is initially fresh, pure, and sweet, then it becomes scorching hot, and once it enters the throat, the whole body feels warm and comfortable, making one feel intoxicated and completely forget the troubles of the outside world.
"Haha, this wine isn't anything special. It's just that since I brewed it myself, I used some of the medicinal herbs I usually use when treating patients..."
Gu Heng didn't care whether Jiang Lingyun was genuinely ignorant or pretending; he just kept bragging.
He wasn't brewing anything particularly precious or fine wine. Since the system shop had so many medicinal herbs, some of which even tasted sweet, and they were available for free indefinitely, why not use them to brew some wine? He could drink it himself, and it was also quite effective in treating patients.
Moreover, after mastering the "medical skills," Gu Heng also became proficient in using medicine to make wine. Perhaps this is the unique characteristic of system skills.
If medicinal herbs are used in the making of wine, the resulting wine can be considered "medicinal," except that it tastes exceptionally good.
Although medicinal wine doesn't sell well in this world, most of the people Gu Heng treats don't consider it real medicine, so it has never been sold.
Judging from her expression, she probably really thinks it tastes good.
There was no reason for them to lie to him, but logically speaking, someone of Sect Leader Jiang's status could have any fine wine or spirit liquor he couldn't drink. It's likely that his homemade wine wasn't actually that good; it was just to Jiang Lingyun's taste.
After all, people prefer to drink what suits their own taste, rather than the best.
With that thought, Gu Heng felt relieved.
He chuckled and poured Jiang Lingyun another full cup.
This time, however, Jiang Lingyun had more to consider. The wine was indeed the best she had ever tasted, but in her opinion, it was quite valuable! She was going to take Jian Xuan away, and Jian Xuan still owed Young Master Gu a life-saving favor.
If we were to drink this rare and exquisite wine now...
No, if she's going to drink it, Jiang Lingyun is very willing to pay a price in exchange.
"Young Master Gu, I'm willing to buy this wine. Name your price."
Jiang Lingyun looked at Gu Heng with a serious expression.
Gu Heng blinked at Jiang Lingyun, and after a long while, he finally managed to utter a sentence.
"purchase?"
"Yes, I want to buy it."
isn't it?
How could such a powerful cultivator have taken a liking to something he casually brewed himself?
Gu Heng suddenly became unsure whether this Sect Master Jiang was reliable or not. He hesitated and shook his head, saying, "This..."
“Please speak freely, Young Master Gu. I can afford it.”
Jiang Lingyun's eyes lit up.
"No, no, that's not what I meant."
"What does Young Master Gu mean by this?"
Jiang Lingyun was getting anxious. Did he refuse to sell?
Gu Heng coughed lightly: "How about this, I'll consider this wine a free gift to Sect Leader Jiang."
He has a conscience; even if Jiang Lingyun said she wanted to buy it, he wouldn't sell it. He'd rather give this kind of thing away!
Furthermore, since she likes it, Gu Heng is happy to do her a favor.
"How can this be considered free?"
Jiang Lingyun quickly shook her head. She had no intention of drinking his wine for free: "I can exchange it for something of equal value. I would be ashamed to take such good wine for nothing." As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Heng's expression changed slightly. He frowned and said, "Sect Leader Jiang has misunderstood. You like my wine, which is indeed one of a kind. In that case, I will give it to you."
Since it's worthless anyway, with a cost price of zero, he doesn't even put in the effort or time to brew this wine.
Of course, Gu Heng kept those last words to himself.
His words surprised Jiang Lingyun. Could it be that she had misunderstood Gu Heng's meaning?
She looked closely at Gu Heng, but saw that his expression was serious and earnest, clearly not an act, and she couldn't help but sigh.
"Okay, I misunderstood. I'm sorry."
Gu Heng smiled, raised his wine glass to Jiang Lingyun, and said, "It's alright."
The two clinked glasses and then drank their respective glasses in one gulp.
Jiang Lingyun narrowed her beautiful, sharp eyes. The mellow aroma filled her mouth and flowed through her limbs, making her feel so comfortable that she felt like she could fly.
The taste of this wine was even more intoxicating than before.
After all, there are freebies.
Freebies always taste better.
Gu Heng didn't hesitate and immediately took out two jars from his system backpack, telling her that if she wanted to drink them, she could come to Gu's Medical Clinic in Yunling City to get them.
After a few more drinks, the atmosphere between the two became very harmonious, and they forgot about the previous minor unpleasantness. Jiang Lingyun felt it was time to bring up the matter that had been on her mind.
She put down her cup and said, "Young Master Gu, I have an extra matter to discuss with you on this trip to Eastern Xinjiang, and that is..."
"In search of your close friend?"
Gu Heng said calmly.
"How did you..."
Jiang Lingyun wondered how he knew before she had even finished speaking, but then she thought it wasn't surprising that he knew.
Jian Xuan may have introduced himself to Young Master Gu.
"How do I know? It's a secret."
Gu Heng smiled, feigning mystery.
It's actually something the system task already mentioned.
In fact, ever since then, Gu Heng had been wondering if some mysterious and peculiar force was at work.
For example, divine will.
Or "system".
Why is it that he just drew a task from the system's "Heavenly Pool" last night to "help the Sect Master of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect reunite with her close friend," and today he has already met this Sect Master Jiang Lingyun?
accidental?
Gu Heng believed in chance, but this was just too much of a coincidence!
He had just received this mission last night and was still struggling with how to proceed, because the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect was simply too far away. Today, Sect Master Jiang Lingyun met him in this small teahouse.
You're saying there are no ghosts here?
Gu Hengcai didn't believe it!
