Master of Martial Arts, please enjoy a drunken revelry in the martial world.

Chapter 1 Sorrowful Situation, Dragon and Tiger Wine, Gu Bei

Night, Qixia Town, Tongfu Inn.

"Manager Gu looks young, so why does he name this distillery so somber and not cheerful at all? If it were me, I wouldn't call it 'Thousand Sorrows'; I'd call it 'Old White Wine Distillery'."

Bai Zhantang leaned against the door frame, cracking sunflower seeds as he spoke.

"You don't understand. As Confucius once said, 'A good drink can dispel a thousand sorrows.' Manager Gu is clearly a refined person, meaning that coming to this tavern and getting drunk can leave all your sorrows behind. That's called understated luxury with substance."

Lu Qinghou quickly stepped forward to explain.

"Go away! Did Zi say that?"

Bai Zhantang complained.

"What grudge could he possibly have? Who does this distillery owner have a grudge against? I've seen him before; he's a young man, with delicate features, and seems quite kind. He doesn't seem like he has any enemies."

Li Dazui walked over, munching on a chicken foot, looking quite puzzled.

Lu Qinghou felt somewhat helpless, but he had long been used to it.

"Big Mouth, the 'sorrow' in 'sorrow' is not the 'hatred' in 'hatred'."

"What grudge is there if we don't care? They're all the same."

Li Dazui didn't take it seriously.

"Alright, alright, everyone go back and rest. It's time to close up shop."

Lu Qinghou and Li Dazui argued as they returned to their rooms, while Bai Zhantang closed the door, made up his bed in the lobby, and prepared to sleep.

Just then, a rich aroma of wine wafted out from Qianchou Si, and Bai Zhantang immediately sat up with a start.

"My goodness! This wine smells amazing! This winery is something else!"

Bai Zhantang's eyes widened, and he subconsciously smacked his lips as he looked through the window at Qian Chou Si, whose door was tightly closed across the street.

At this moment, in the Thousand Sorrows Market, a young man in a blue robe was standing in front of a large wine jar.

The wine jar was new and had no patterns on it, but the rich aroma of wine emanated from it.

"Success or failure hinges on this!"

The young man in the blue robe murmured to himself, then took a deep breath and removed the mud seal from the wine jar.

The next moment, a rich aroma of wine wafted over!

At the same time, the sound of a tiger roaring and a dragon howling seemed to emanate from the wine jar, shaking one's soul.

"It's done!"

The young man in the blue robe was overjoyed. He twitched his nose slightly, inhaling the overflowing aroma of wine, and let out a sigh of praise.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully brewed Dragon Tiger Wine. First successful brewing, reward doubled. Congratulations, host, you have gained ten years of Golden Light Mantra power."

The moment the system's voice sounded, the young man in the blue robe felt a powerful force surge within him, flowing from his dantian and spreading throughout his limbs and bones.

The young man in the green robe, who originally did not know martial arts, suddenly gained a lot of power and broke through to the ninth-rank martial artist!

A golden light emanated from its body, making it look extremely dazzling.

Martial arts can be divided into nine ranks from low to high: Acquired, Innate, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, Celestial Being, and Immortal on Earth.

"Is this the Golden Light Mantra, one of the eight great Taoist mantras? What an amazing feeling. My previously weak body suddenly seems to have inexhaustible strength."

The young man in the blue robe clenched his fist, his eyes filled with joy.

After a month in this martial arts world, he finally has some ability to protect himself.

The young man in the blue robe was named Gu Qianbei, and he was a time traveler.

A month ago, the system suddenly transported him to this world of martial arts.

After a brief period of confusion, he quickly figured out his situation and the system's functions.

This world is a fusion of many martial arts worlds, with numerous countries and countless martial arts sects, and the place he is in is a small town in the Ming Dynasty called Qixia Town.

Gu Qianbei was quite familiar with this.

After all, that shady inn called Tongfu Inn had been a part of his childhood, and it was also known as the beginner village for martial arts games, which was a good start.

The system is called the Brewer System, which contains countless wine recipes. As long as Gu Qianbei brews a wine, he can receive system rewards. The rewards are all-encompassing and waiting for him to continuously develop them.

The golden light spell before my eyes is the first reward.

In addition to the wine recipe, the system also thoughtfully gave him fifty taels of starting capital, allowing him to establish himself in Qixia Town.

Of course, the system also helped him create an identity, saving him unnecessary trouble.

So Gu Qianbei bought the shop opposite Tongfu Inn and opened a tavern, which he named Qianchou Si.

During this period, he lived a secluded life, all for the purpose of brewing Dragon Tiger Wine.

This wine was carefully selected from the thousands of wine recipes provided by the system.

The reason is naturally that it is easy to brew, takes little time, and uses inexpensive ingredients, making it the perfect tool for practice.

Fifty taels of silver may seem like a lot, but after buying the shop and materials, there was hardly anything left.

If the brewing of this Dragon Tiger Wine fails, he will be in real trouble.

However, if you follow the systematic method of brewing, it's hard to fail.

"It seems I do have a talent for brewing, no wonder the system chose me."

Gu Qianbei smiled smugly.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Gu Qianbei looked at the door with a puzzled expression and a hint of wariness.

"Manager Gu, I'd like to buy some wine!"

Bai Zhantang shouted loudly from outside the door, his words filled with eagerness.

Hearing this, Gu Qianbei was taken aback, then looked at the Dragon Tiger Wine that he had just opened.

"She does have a pointed nose."

Gu Qianbei smiled and then opened the door.

Standing at the door was Bai Zhantang, the waiter of Tongfu Inn.

Although the tavern hadn't opened yet, he had already become familiar with the people at Tongfu Inn.

Because of them, Gu Qianbei got through the most difficult initial stage.

After all, Gu Qianbei was very familiar with them.

"Old Bai, my tavern isn't open yet, you've come a bit early."

Gu Qianbei laughed.

Bai Zhantang peeked inside and swallowed hard when he saw the wine jars emitting a fragrant aroma.

"Your wine smells so good, it's really tempting! I won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't get some. Manager Gu, could you please do me this favor?"

Seeing Bai Zhantang's expression, Gu Qianbei raised an eyebrow.

"Alright. We should be opening tomorrow anyway, so Brother Bai, please be my first customer."

Bai Zhantang was overjoyed.

Gu Qianbei welcomed Bai Zhantang in, took out two wine cups and placed them on the table, then took out a wine pot, filled it with Dragon Tiger Wine, and served it along with peanuts.

"This wine is called Dragon and Tiger Wine. Eucommia ulmoides represents the dragon, Achyranthes bidentata represents the tiger, and it is combined with wolfberry, astragalus, and angelica. It can strengthen the waist, bones, blood, qi, and warm the body."

As Gu Qianbei spoke, she poured Bai Zhantang a glass of wine.

Its color is light amber, and its crystals are clear and quite alluring.

The rich aroma of the wine assaulted Bai Zhantang's nostrils even more intensely than before. He could no longer resist, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

It has a smooth and mild taste, without any spiciness.

Bai Zhantang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Excellent wine! Truly excellent wine! To think that such a simple Dragon Tiger Wine could produce such a flavor, Manager Gu, you're truly a genius!"

As he spoke, Bai Zhantang ate a few peanuts and then poured himself another cup.

Wine and peanuts are one of life's greatest pleasures.

Bai Zhantang's face immediately lit up with enjoyment.

Gu Qianbei smiled faintly, her eyes narrowed, and extended her right hand.

"I will accept a sum of one tael of silver."
