The strong liquor spurted down Jiang Che's throat, stimulating his taste buds. After the spiciness subsided, he felt a warm, blissful sensation all over his body, as if he were floating on air.

P.S.: I'm asking for flowers, monthly tickets, ratings, and all kinds of data.
053: Brother Jiang, you really have a huge capacity to eat Yunying! (Please give me flowers and add this to your favorites!)
Jiang Che put down his wine bowl, smacked his lips, and savored the taste.
This peach blossom wine is indeed excellent; it truly deserves the title of fine wine.
This liquor has a relatively low alcohol content; Jiang Che estimated it to be around 38 degrees.
In the past, he wouldn't have dared to down a whole bowl of strong liquor.
As his cultivation level continued to improve, Jiang Che's physical fitness also improved. Moreover, he had a good tolerance for alcohol, so he naturally didn't feel anything.
"Brother Jiang, you have a truly enormous capacity for alcohol!"
"Come on, let's keep drinking!"
Seeing Jiang Che's generosity, Li Bai's eyes lit up. He couldn't wait to pour Jiang Che another bowl and then filled his own.
"Done!"
"Dry!"
........................
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
After everyone had a few drinks, the atmosphere gradually became lively, and they started chatting about everything under the sun.
"Brother Li, are you confident about the duel three days from now?"
Jiang Che downed another bowl of wine, becoming somewhat tipsy, but still managed to remain clear-headed and rational. He looked at Li Bai curiously and asked.
"Well..."
"Miyamoto Musashi's cultivation is on par with mine; he has also broken through to the late Golden Core stage. His Two Heavens First Class swordsmanship is not to be underestimated; he is indeed very troublesome!"
At this point, Li Bai paused, chuckled, and exuded confidence.
"However, my Azure Lotus Sword Technique and Great River Sword Intent are not to be underestimated!"
"I'm 70% confident of winning this duel. Just watch and see, Brother Jiang!"
"Then I wish Brother Li victory in advance..."
Jiang Che smiled faintly, clinked glasses with Li Bai again, and seemed to be deep in thought.
Once a swordsman's understanding of their own swordsmanship reaches a certain level, they will cultivate "sword intent"...
Not every sword cultivator can cultivate sword intent. Those who can cultivate sword intent are all exceptional sword geniuses, one in ten thousand, and are basically invincible among their peers.
Through his conversation with Li Bai, Jiang Che gained a vague understanding of sword intent.
Li Bai cultivated his own sword intent when he broke through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm two years ago, which is why he was so confident about the duel three days later.
The development of sword intent is not directly related to a cultivator's cultivation level. As long as one's understanding of one's own sword path is deep enough, even a Qi Refining stage cultivator can cultivate sword intent.
A sword cultivator who can cultivate sword intent during the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stages can be considered an absolute genius.
After a month of consistent sword practice, and with the added attribute of "Sword Immortal's Appearance," he made rapid progress every day, barely touching the threshold of sword intent.
Jiang Che estimated that he should be able to cultivate sword intent within a month.
Once he cultivates sword intent, his trump cards will be greatly enhanced!
...........................
In the dead of night, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, and all is quiet.
After bidding farewell to Cheng Yaojin and the other two, Jiang Che, who was quite drunk, left the Duke's mansion with Yun Ying's help.
"This Brother Jiang really has a huge capacity for alcohol..."
Watching Jiang Che and Yun Ying's departing figures, Su Lie looked at the dozen or so wine jars of various sizes placed where Jiang Che had been, sighed, and smiled broadly.
He had a great time drinking today too, it was so much fun!
"I think this Brother Jiang and Miss Yun are quite a good match..."
"Boss Cheng, I think you don't need to worry about it too much..."
Li Bai picked up the conversation, took another swig of wine, and said with a grin.
He is known as the Sword Immortal of Wine who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, a title he earned through sheer drinking!
Although he drank quite a bit tonight, he only reached a slightly tipsy state.
Li Bai was well aware of Cheng Yaojin's purpose in inviting Jiang Che to the banquet, and he certainly had a good impression of this Brother Jiang.
He is dashing and unrestrained, eloquent, and polite. Most importantly, he has a good capacity for alcohol!
"Let's talk about it later..."
Cheng Yaojin sighed and shook his head with amusement.
He originally wanted to find out Jiang Che's true thoughts after he got drunk, since people speak the truth when they're drunk.
But Yunying stayed by Jiang Che's side the whole time, and no matter what he tried, he couldn't get rid of the little girl. He could only deal with this matter later.
"It's getting late, you two brothers should go and get some rest..."
After Li Bai and Su Lie left one after another, Cheng Yaojin instructed the servants to clean up the mess, and then left the hall with a swagger.
.....................
Inside a side room of Qingyun Manor.
"call……"
"I'm exhausted!"
"You stupid drunkard, all you know is drinking!"
Looking at Jiang Che lying on the soft couch, Yun Ying's face puffed up with anger, she gritted her teeth and clenched her little pink fists.
After venting her anger, Yun Ying lowered her head slightly and looked at Jiang Che's profile, a hint of infatuation flashing in her eyes.
"I have to say... you're really handsome..."
"You're already drunk, so I shouldn't be able to tell if I secretly do something naughty?"
Yun Ying's bright eyes darted around, a sly glint in them, making her look somewhat ill-intentioned.
She picked up a strand of her dark hair and brought it to Jiang Che's nose.
Just as Yun Ying was having fun, Jiang Che suddenly flipped over and pulled the girl into his arms.
In an instant, the two looked at each other.
"You...you're not drunk?"
Yun Ying stammered, sounding somewhat flustered.
"I was already drunk, but you've made me completely so..."
Jiang Che felt a bit thirsty, so he simply lifted Yun Ying's white-stockinged legs up!
"Well……"

054: Outrageous! He's already at the Golden Core stage?! (Please give flowers and add to your favorites!)
early morning.
It was past midnight, the moon was bright and the stars were few.
Yun Ying nestled in Jiang Che's arms, her delicate brows furrowed slightly. She punched Jiang Che's chest twice with her small pink fist, her face full of resentment.
"You scoundrel, you actually launched a sneak attack!"
She had only wanted to play a prank on Jiang Che, and never expected to get herself involved so quickly, allowing Jiang Che to have his way with her.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Jiang Che raised an eyebrow, looking at the girl in his arms with a half-smile.
No... she's a young married woman now.
"You're going to die!"
Yun Ying blushed and gave Jiang Che a charmingly reproachful look, her expression a mixture of anger and embarrassment.
Although she was indeed quite happy, is it really okay to say such things directly?
How come she never noticed before that Jiang Che was so shameless?
"Take a feel for it; your cultivation has now broken through to the Golden Core stage..."
Jiang Che gently stroked Yun Ying's smooth, fair face, reached out and wiped away the tear stains from the corner of the girl's eyes, and gently reminded her.
He had just instilled the general principles of the Yin-Yang Longevity Technique into Yun Ying's mind.
After his tireless and diligent teaching, Yunying's cultivation level has broken through to the Golden Core realm.
Breaking through cultivation levels using the Yin-Yang Longevity Method is a natural and effortless process, resulting in minimal disturbance.
In addition, Jiang Che had already set up a small Returning Heaven Formation in the room beforehand.
Therefore, Yun Ying's breakthrough did not cause much of a commotion, and even Yang Yuhuan and A Li, who were also at Qingyun Manor, were not disturbed.
Setting up a small Heaven Returning Formation throughout the entire Qingyun Manor is quite complicated, but when the scope is infinitely reduced to a single room, it becomes a very simple matter.
The Yin-Yang Longevity Method, which involves comprehending Yin and Yang, is a supreme cultivation technique ranked among the top-tier Heavenly Rank, and is highly beneficial to both parties.
Jiang Che's cultivation also advanced further, directly breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, a natural progression without any bottlenecks.
