I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1233 - Chapter 1233 Chapter 1235 Guardian of the Secret Realm

Chapter 1233: Chapter 1235: Guardian of the Secret Realm Chapter 1233: Chapter 1235: Guardian of the Secret Realm Song Jian took out a red gourd from his bosom, a blue-quality treasure that, although it was only the size of a palm, could contain a ton of liquid.

He had always filled this gourd with drinkable water, but now he emptied it completely and held it out to catch the stream of wine flying towards him.

The wine turned into a thin line and rushed into the red gourd, not a drop was wasted, and a rich aroma of alcohol pervaded the air. Being so close, Song Jian took just two breaths and felt as if he were about to pass out drunk, staggering two steps back.

“Jade Liquid Wine, a golden-quality beverage, one drop randomly enhances an attribute by one point,, and drinking 10 drops in succession can increase longevity by one year!” Song Jian looked at the gourd with bleary, intoxicated eyes, absorbing the properties of the Jade Liquid Wine.

“Upon first consumption, one can only drink up to thirty drops. If the alcohol tolerance value is below thirty, further drinking will not result in increases in lifespan or attributes, but will only increase the alcohol tolerance value…”

“What is this alcohol tolerance value? The higher the number, the more alcohol one can consume, right?” Song Jian exhaled a breath laced with alcohol and took in two deep breaths of brisk air, his eyes gradually clearing.

“Junior brother, Song junior brother, how much Jade Liquid Wine did you get this time?” Gui Chuan asked with an earnest look, anxiously inquiring.

Each time the Wine Lake Array was cracked, the amount of Jade Liquid Wine obtained varied; sometimes more, sometimes less, but Jade Liquid Wine was always a sought-after treasure, never lacking demand. Even a single drop could incite a scramble among countless people.

“This wine, it’s so powerful!” A hint of astonishment flashed in Song Jian’s eyes. Merely getting a whiff of the lingering scent was enough to make one feel on the verge of passing out. If he really drank a mouthful, he probably would immediately collapse and lose consciousness.

System: You have inhaled the rich aroma of the golden-quality liquor “Jade Liquid Wine,” resulting in an increase of 1 point to your alcohol tolerance value; current alcohol tolerance value: 5 points;

Soon after, he received a system notification, and a new attribute never seen before appeared on his personal attribute interface: alcohol tolerance value!

“Only five points? It seems I too can drink at most thirty drops!” Song Jian pondered and looked at the quantity of Jade Liquid Wine inside the gourd.

“Fifty-eight drops, not bad, not bad, there’s some to spare for him!” Song Jian glanced at the anxious Gui Chuan and smiled.

“Senior Guichuan, mission accomplished, I’ve got fifty-eight drops!” Song Jian clasped his hands and grinned, “However, I need to keep thirty drops for myself. The remaining twenty-eight drops are all yours!”

“Fifty-eight drops, that many?” A look of joy spread across Gui Chuan’s face as he quickly responded, “That’s enough, that’s enough. Twenty-eight drops will suffice. This wine can’t be drunk directly, otherwise, it’s easy to drink oneself to death. It must be mixed with other fine wines and consumed drop by drop!”

Saying this, Gui Chuan’s brow suddenly furrowed, the value of twenty-eight drops of Jade Liquid Wine was considerable, and he found himself at a loss for what he could offer in exchange!

After much deliberation, Gui Chuan gritted his teeth, took a book from his bosom, and handed it to Song Jian, saying, “Thank you, junior brother, for the gift of Jade Liquid Wine. I have nothing comparable to offer in return. This ‘Array Analysis Insights’ was personally written by my master. Although it doesn’t print the specifics of any array, it summarizes over a hundred and thirty years of my master’s experience in array formation. I believe it will be of considerable help in your pursuit of array mastery!”

Song Jian was stunned, turning his gaze toward the book in Gui Chuan’s hands, where the three-inch-thick book was emitting a faint purple-red glow.

“An Epic-Quality formation book?” A look of amazement spread across Song Jian’s face.

“How can this be acceptable? This book is too precious!” Song Jian glanced at it casually, and the other disciples who had gathered around all showed expressions of amazement and envy. He understood that this book of epic quality must have a special significance for Gui Chuan. Although he wanted to possess it, he still felt embarrassed to take it directly.

“Junior brother, please accept it. Otherwise, I will feel ashamed to take your Jade Liquid Wine,” sighed Gui Chuan. This Array Analysis Insights was a treasure personally handed down to him by his master, who always hoped that Gui Chuan’s expertise in formations would surpass his own. Therefore, the content in this Array Analysis Insights had almost nothing held back. Even someone totally ignorant about formations could become a master by studying this book.

“Since that’s the case, then I, as your junior brother, will humbly accept it!” In the end, Song Jian took the book on formations and then gave twenty-eight drops of Jade Liquid Wine to Gui Chuan.

Gui Chuan carefully took a jade bottle, filled it with the twenty-eight drops of Jade Liquid Wine, tucked it into his chest, and finally showed a relieved expression on his face.

“With these twenty-eight drops of Jade Liquid Wine, even if the master has to rewrite an Array Analysis Insights, it won’t matter; he will definitely think he made a profit!” Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Gui Chuan’s face.

Song Jian carefully examined the “Array Analysis Insights” he held; it was actually a book that could enhance the skills of arranging formations.

Most importantly, this experience book couldn’t be used directly; one had to gain the related experience of formations only through careful study.

Song Jian flipped through a couple of pages and his face immediately lit up with delight, “Haha, I’ve found a treasure. If I can truly understand all the insights in this book, won’t my Sword Array Atlas skill directly reach the top level?”

Just by browsing through two pages, Song Jian’s Sword Array Atlas skill gained one third of the proficiency, and that was just from him flipping through casually, without even trying to comprehend deeply!

This book was simply a shortcut for Song Jian to elevate his Sword Array Atlas skill level!

“Junior brother, you must not drink the Jade Liquid Wine directly, otherwise, you’ll truly die of intoxication!” Gui Chuan warned once more, “It must be mixed and consumed with other high-quality wines, the higher the quality, the better!”

“Senior brother, can’t the elders of your peak directly drink the Jade Liquid Wine?” Song Jian couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“Hehe, junior brother, you don’t know. The elder I referred to is actually my master, Real Fire Heavenly Master!” Gui Chuan laughed. “My master is known as the Wine Immortal. Naturally, he can drink the Jade Liquid Wine directly. However, since the Jade Liquid Wine is so precious, even my master is reluctant to drink it directly. Usually, he mixes it with other fine wines.”

Song Jian nodded, ready to bid farewell to Gui Chuan and head to other places to comprehend formations when he suddenly turned his head and looked toward the left.

At that moment, the sky in the distance underwent a sudden change. Amidst a dark cloudburst accompanied by lightning and thunder, a golden giant nearly a hundred feet tall struggled to stand up from a mountain range.

“This is… the Guardian of the secret realm!” Gui Chuan’s face changed drastically, an instant cold sweat breaking out, and he growled through clenched teeth, “Which fool has gone and awakened the sleeping Guardian of the secret realm? It’s simply courting death!”
