Chapter 548 I Don’t Accept This

After going out, Jiu Shu remembered a small matter he needed to handle, so he went to take care of it first before preparing to go back and find Xu Chu.

When he was about to reach Moon Gazing Pavilion, he happened to run into the manager of Moon Gazing Pavilion.

"Good morning, Jiu Shu. Where have you been these past few days? We haven't seen you around."

Normally, Jiu Shu was either drinking at Moon Gazing Pavilion or at some banquet.

He even spent more time with the staff and manager of Moon Gazing Pavilion than with his own family.

Jiu Shu replied, "I had a drink and have been sleeping at home."

"Oh, what kind of alcohol made you sleep for three days?" The manager was surprised and curious. He remembered that Jiu Shu hadn't been to Moon Gazing Pavilion three days ago, which meant he had found the alcohol elsewhere.

Jiu Shu had a look of endless aftertaste.

"That alcohol is called Dream Back. It was brewed by a friend I just met."

This made the manager even more curious. Their Moon Gazing Pavilion had countless famous and fine alcohols, and Jiu Shu had drunk there so many times, but he had never seen him talk about any alcohol with such an expression.

"Is this friend of yours also a brewer?"

Jiu Shu nodded, "The Dream Back Spirit Alcohol he brews is indescribably wonderful. We've been old friends for decades, and I can tell you honestly, it's better than all the spirit alcohol sold at your Moon Gazing Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, the manager felt a bit unconvinced.

In this Tian Yuan World, was there really any spirit alcohol better than theirs at Moon Gazing Pavilion?

If it were anyone else saying this, he would certainly disdain it, assuming they were drunk and talking nonsense, or just showing off because they hadn't seen much of the world.

But Jiu Shu was different. His love and meticulousness for alcohol were well-known throughout Wolong City.

For him to say such a thing, it must not be simple.

So the manager stepped forward and curiously asked, "Is it really as good as Jiu Shu says?"

Jiu Shu nodded with great certainty.

"It's that good!"

The manager said, "Alright, then please lead the way, Jiu Shu, and introduce me. I also want to meet this brewer and taste his Dream Back to see what kind of spirit alcohol it is that can receive such high praise from Jiu Shu."

Although Dream Back Spirit Alcohol had received Jiu Shu's affirmation, the manager was still somewhat unconvinced.

After all, their Moon Gazing Pavilion had been a Legacy in the Tian Yuan World for so many years, and such a situation had truly never occurred before.

Jiu Shu hesitated slightly.

"An introduction is possible, but whether you can taste Dream Back is uncertain, because last time we drank it, Xu Brother said he only had two pots left, and I don't know if he finished them these past few days."

The manager said with an indifferent tone, "Isn't he a brewer? If he doesn't have any more, he can just brew more. I can even provide him with the Materials."

"You provide?" Jiu Shu directly told the manager the three raw Materials Xu Chu had told him about.

After listening, the manager also began to scratch his head.

"These… these things, while not extremely precious, are too rare. They can't be bought simply with financial resources; it also depends on fate and luck."

The manager was indeed from Moon Gazing Pavilion, even more knowledgeable than Jiu Shu; he knew all three Materials.

Jiu Shu smiled, "Otherwise, why would I say it's not easy to brew?"

"Since that's the case, then we should go find him as soon as possible. If we go too late, the remaining two pots might be gone," the manager said.

He just wanted to taste how good this Dream Back Spirit Alcohol could truly be.

If it really was better than the spirit alcohol of Moon Gazing Pavilion, then it would indicate that Xu Chu's brewing skills were very strong. Even if he could never brew Dream Back Spirit Alcohol again, they could still invite a talent like Xu Chu to Moon Gazing Pavilion.

Jiu Shu nodded repeatedly.

"You're right, let's go, let's go, quickly."

They hurried together to the courtyard where Xu Chu lived, and Jiu Shu helped with the introduction.

"Xu Brother, this is Manager Qiu of Moon Gazing Pavilion."

Manager Qiu cupped his hands and said, "Hello, Xu Young Brother. I am Qiu Gaofeng. I apologize for my abrupt visit and hope you can forgive me."

"So it's Manager Qiu, a pleasure to meet you, please come in," Xu Chu said with a surprised expression.

In his heart, however, he thought, the fish has taken the bait.

After entering the courtyard, Manager Qiu directly stated his purpose.

"It's like this, I heard from Jiu Shu that Xu Young Brother is a brewer who has brewed a spirit alcohol called Dream Back, which is truly exceptional. So I specifically came here, wanting to buy some to taste. I wonder if Young Brother would be willing to part with some."

Xu Chu casually said, "Since you're Jiu Shu's friend, we're all family. Just drink if you want to drink, why talk about buying? That's too formal."

Saying that, he took out a pot.

Xu Chu's straightforwardness and generosity made Jiu Shu even more certain that he was definitely someone worth befriending.

Manager Qiu, however, said, "How can that be? Good alcohol is not easy to brew; we can't let Xu Brother lose money."

"Manager Qiu is right, you should name a price, we can't let you lose," Jiu Shu echoed, since Manager Qiu, as the manager of Moon Gazing Pavilion, was not short of money.

Xu Chu, however, continued to wave his hand.

Helpless, Manager Qiu had a sudden idea and took out some spirit tea and spirit fruits.

"Since that's the case, then after we finish drinking, let's taste some tea. This tea will be on me."

His spirit tea and spirit fruits were also quite valuable, which could be considered not letting Xu Chu suffer too much of a loss.

Seeing this, Xu Chu did not continue to decline. When Xu Chu opened the lid of the alcohol pot and the unique aroma of alcohol wafted out, Manager Qiu's pupils constricted, and his eyes widened, like a hungry man seeing a table full of delicacies.

"This alcohol aroma is indeed extraordinary…"

Now, Manager Qiu already believed more than half of Jiu Shu's previous praise for Dream Back.

Jiu Shu, beside him, had an expression that said, 'I knew it.'

After Manager Qiu finished a cup, he completely believed Jiu Shu's statement that 'Dream Back is better than the spirit alcohol of Moon Gazing Pavilion.'

"Good! Good alcohol!"

Manager Qiu's eyes glowed as he loudly affirmed.

Jiu Shu had drunk a lot of alcohol and for a long time. Manager Qiu's experience with alcohol was not much different in comparison.

After tasting Dream Back, he felt that this spirit alcohol was indeed the best he had ever tasted. Compared to it, the spirit alcohol of Moon Gazing Pavilion, while not exactly swill, was truly difficult to compare.
