Chapter 182: Chapter 52: Fighting with Wine or Fighting Energy

On the grand opening day of Drunk Immortal Inn, Immortal Restaurant, the largest tavern in Xia Capital, announced an Alcohol Battle Conference.

Immortal Restaurant is the most prestigious tavern in the entire Xia Capital and has been around for a century.

Five Treasures Brew is one of Daxia’s tribute wines, renowned far and wide.

Usually, only Daxia’s high officials and noble elites could taste the Five Treasures Brew at Immortal Restaurant.

To attract new and returning patrons, this time, the Alcohol Battle Conference at Immortal Restaurant was extraordinary, setting up a competition to win big prizes.

The top three winners of the Alcohol Battle Conference could receive substantial cash rewards from Immortal Restaurant: ten thousand taels, five thousand taels, and one thousand taels respectively.

Moreover, everyone who came to Immortal Restaurant could taste a cup of Five Treasures Brew for free; if they could finish drinking a jar of Five Treasures Brew within two hours, all their expenses at Immortal Restaurant that day would be waived.

Such great news immediately caused a sensation throughout Xia Capital.

Especially the lower-class civilians who normally couldn’t even step foot into Immortal Restaurant, now had the opportunity to try the Five Treasures Brew for free, and they flocked to Immortal Restaurant with their families.

As a result, several large tents were set up outside Immortal Restaurant, where the Alcohol Battle Conference was taking place.

By noon, long queues had already formed outside Immortal Restaurant, and one can imagine the impact on the newly opened Drunk Immortal Inn’s business.

No wonder Lan Cai’er was so frustrated upon her return.

Of all days, Immortal Restaurant had chosen to hold an Alcohol Battle Conference on the very first day Drunk Immortal Inn opened, and planned it for three days and nights—a clear attempt to undermine Drunk Immortal Inn.

Upon hearing this news, Ye Lingyue, together with Lan Cai’er, Prince Feng, Heir Qinghai, Liu Cheng, Feng Xue, and others, headed to Immortal Restaurant.

Seeing the massive crowd, everyone was amazed.

Among these queued patrons, some were there to challenge drinking a jar of Five Treasures Brew, some were participating in the Alcohol Battle Conference, but many more were simply there to watch the excitement.

To prevent accidents, everyone participating in the Alcohol Battle Conference had to sign a Life and Death Contract—there would be no compensations if they drank themselves to death.

Suddenly, there was a loud "clang" as a wine jar hit the ground.

Inside Immortal Restaurant, a patron who got utterly drunk fell to the ground, knocked out, with half a jar of Five Treasures Brew still left beside him.

"Wow, Immortal Restaurant truly lives up to its reputation; not many can withstand a whole jar of Five Treasures Brew," said Ye Lingyue and others, who rushed to Immortal Restaurant and witnessed this scene.

A customer, completely drunk and reeking of alcohol, was carried out, barely conscious.

Ye Lingyue smelled the strong aroma of alcohol.

That was Immortal Restaurant’s signature wine, the Five Treasures Brew, a Medicine Wine brewed from various Poison Grass and Poisonous Insect.

Five Treasures Brew is inherently a strong spirit with a powerful effect, intensified by the Poison Grass and Poisonous Insect, causing a fierce reaction in the body. Even seasoned drinkers, after a few more sips, would feel their bodies burning like fire due to the medicinal effects and soon lose consciousness.

In the time span of watching for more than an hour, several more people had been carried out continuously.

Nevertheless, there were still a few exceptional drinkers who, after finishing a jar of Immortal Brew, successfully entered the Alcohol Battle Conference and began their competitions.

"Alright!"

A tumultuous cheer erupted.

Before a long table sat dozens of people, each with at least two or three jars of liquor in front of them, now comparing their drinking capacity using a large bowl.

Seated in the center was a man, bare-chested, with a thick beard styled like the robust Zhang Fei, and beside him were placed five liquor jars. His complexion seemed quite normal as he leisurely sipped on the Five Treasures Brew.

Others around him had empty jars that couldn’t compare to his.

"Ye Lingyue, that is Hai Wuliang from Immortal Restaurant, the master brewer. Not only can he brew, but his drinking capacity is also quite impressive," Heir Qinghai remarked beside Ye Lingyue.

Hai Wuliang, merely a pseudonym, refers to this master brewer, known for his boundless drinking capacity.

It is said that his mother was a tavern maid who gave birth to him in a wine cellar.

From a young age, Hai Wuliang treated liquor as if it were plain water, and growing up, he mastered the craft of brewing, which led to his recruitment by Immortal Restaurant as a live advertisement.

Legends say he once drank thirty jars of Five Treasures Brew in one go without getting drunk, so for this Alcohol Battle Conference, Immortal Restaurant isn’t worried about losing.

"After this Alcohol Battle Conference, Immortal Restaurant’s reputation might climb even higher," Lan Cai’er said through gritted teeth.

"Isn’t this Princess Ye? What a surprise, are you also interested in participating in our Immortal Restaurant’s Alcohol Battle Conference?" An Minxia and her mother, Mrs. Cui, emerged from Immortal Restaurant.

Both were quite pleased seeing the lively scene at Immortal Restaurant, pitying Drunk Immortal Inn which, on its opening day, might not even sell a single jar of liquor.

"Why are you here?" An Minxia was initially pleased, but her expression changed upon seeing Ye Lingyue, especially when she noticed Prince Feng and Heir Qinghai beside Ye Lingyue, making An Minxia’s demeanor shift dramatically.

"These gentlemen, isn’t that Heir Qinghai?" Mrs. Cui also noticed Ye Lingyue’s group, particularly the two men behind her, both with outstanding presence, prompting Mrs. Cui to take a few more glances.

Mrs. Cui recognized Heir Qinghai, but it was her first time seeing Prince Feng.

Upon examining Feng Xun, even Mrs. Cui, a married woman, couldn’t help but be enthralled by his impressive looks, internally exclaiming what a handsome young man he was.

"Mother, this is Prince Feng I’ve mentioned to you before." An Minxia gave Ye Lingyue a contemptuous look, arrogantly pushing her aside to warmly engage with Feng Xun and Heir Qinghai.

Seeing Feng Xun’s appearance, Mrs. Cui inwardly sighed, no wonder her daughter was so smitten with Prince Feng, a uniquely beautiful young man; sadly, he seemed rather frail, unable to shoulder heavy responsibilities, merely a pretty shell.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Mrs. Cui shifted her interest to Heir Qinghai.

Heir Qinghai was also one of the prominent figures in Xia Capital, his status not below that of other sons of the Four Great Noble Marquis, and most notably, he was still single and unmarried.

Mrs. Cui already strategized that if her daughter An Minxia wasn’t chosen as the Crown Princess Consort, marrying Heir Qinghai and becoming his wife would also be a good option.

An Minxia and her mother each had their eyes on Feng Xun and Heir Qinghai, completely ignoring Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai.

Upon seeing this, Lan Cai’er let out a sharp snort from her nose, and coolly said,

"An Minxia, I was just looking for you. That bet we made at Yunmeng Swamp last time, does it still count?"
