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

Chapter 54 The Number One Manor Under Heaven

Seven days later, in the capital, at the number one manor in the world.

Gu Qianbei rode his black horse to the front of the door.

He had been traveling on horseback for seven days, moving at a rapid pace, and had finally arrived.

"Is this the number one manor in the world? It certainly has an extraordinary aura."

Gu Qianbei smiled faintly, then jumped off his horse and strode forward.

"Young master, what brings you here?"

The guard at the door looked Gu Qianbei up and down and said softly.

"I have heard that the number one manor in the world is inviting people of insight from all over the world. As long as you gain their approval, you can get the reputation of being the number one in the world."

"I am not particularly talented, but I have considerable skill in brewing. I have come today to claim the title of the world's greatest brewer."

Gu Qianbei said with a smile.

The guard was not surprised to hear this, as he had seen many people like this before.

The most powerful and wealthy family in the world welcomes all who come to participate in the assessment.

"I understand why you have come, young master. Please follow me."

Gu Qianbei nodded slightly and followed the guard into the number one manor in the world.

Upon entering the village gate, a stone-paved road comes into view.

It may look simple and unadorned, but this stone slab is not made of ordinary stone. It is made of the hardest white iron stone, and the cost of one piece is enough to cover the annual expenses of an average family of three.

Looking around, this road alone cost over a thousand yuan.

rich!

This was Gu Qianbei's first impression of the number one manor in the world.

"What a wonderful place! If I could become a guest of honor here, I would never have to worry about finding ingredients for brewing wine again."

Gu Qianbei sighed inwardly.

At this moment, in the main hall of the number one manor in the world, a young man in white was chatting with a man whose face reeked of alcohol.

This young man in white is none other than Shangguan Haitang, the owner of the number one manor in the world.

Although she was dressed as a man, she was actually a girl.

She disguised herself as a man simply to better navigate the world of martial arts.

She also has another identity: the number one Xuan-level secret agent, one of the four secret agents under the Iron-Blooded Marquis of the Dragon Guard Manor.

"Welcome to the Number One Manor in the World, Brother Zhang. From now on, you will be the Number One Detective in the World."

Haitang smiled and said to the burly man in front of her, while taking out a token and handing it to him.

"Thank you for your kind words, Master, but compared to the title of the world's number one detective, I still prefer to be the world's number one drunkard."

As Zhang Jinjiu spoke, he took a sip of the wine in his glass and exclaimed, "Master, this is a 20-year-old Zhuyeqing, isn't it? It's truly excellent wine."

"If Brother Zhang likes it, I'll give you a jar."

Haitang smiled.

"Then I shall accept it without hesitation."

Zhang Jinjiu agreed without any hesitation.

Haitang smiled and shook her head, having gained some understanding of Zhang Jinjiu's personality.

Such a genuine person is easy to get along with.

Treat each other with sincerity.

Just then, the guard walked in.

"Master, there's a young man outside who says he wants to take the exam and compete for the title of the world's best winemaker."

"The world's greatest brewer?"

Haitang was slightly surprised, while Zhang Jinjiu's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

For a drunkard like him, if the world's number one winery truly had the world's number one winemaker, that would be an absolute blessing.

"Looks like I'm in luck today, I've encountered such a good thing. Master, you have to let me be a judge for this assessment."

Zhang Jinjiu said excitedly.

"That's for sure. If someone can be recognized by Brother Zhang, even if they aren't the best in the world, they are definitely qualified to compete for this position."

Haitang smiled and then had the guards bring the person in.

Before long, the two saw Gu Qianbei.

A good appearance can create a good first impression, but it doesn't necessarily mean that people will think you're reliable.

Especially in industries that value experience.

For example, a doctor.

Given the choice between a young, handsome doctor and a white-haired doctor, most people would choose the latter.

While it's not true that older people are more sought after in the winemaking industry, youth can indeed be easily overlooked.

Fortunately, neither Haitang nor Zhang Jinjiu are ordinary people, and they will not doubt Gu Qianbei because of his age.

Because they all achieved fame at a young age, they knew that there were many geniuses like them in the world.

Geniuses always grow at a different rate than ordinary people.

"You wish to run for the title of the world's greatest brewer?"

Haitang asked.

Gu Qianbei nodded slightly, while also sizing up the person in front of him.

At first glance, he appears to be just a handsome young man, but he is actually a beautiful young woman. His dashing outfit is quite extraordinary.

"May I ask your honorable name?"

Haitang continued to ask.

"My name is Gu Qianbei, which means 'a thousand cups of wine are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend.'"

Gu Qianbei laughed.

"It's a good name, I like it."

Zhang Jinjiu laughed heartily.

"What skills do you possess that allow you to vie for the title of the world's greatest brewer?"

Haitang cut to the chase and asked directly.

Gu Qianbei did not answer immediately, but instead took out the wine gourd that he had prepared beforehand and opened the cork.

In an instant, a rich aroma of wine wafted out, filling the entire hall.

Zhang Jinjiu and Haitang both subconsciously sniffed, the aroma of the wine suddenly filling their nostrils and lungs, making them feel slightly intoxicated.

"What a fragrant wine! What kind of wine is this? Just smelling it makes me feel a little drunk."

Zhang Jinjiu's eyes lit up as he stared intently at the wine gourd, wishing he could snatch it away immediately and have a good drink.

"This wine is called Sunflower Sun-Facing Brew. It is made with the best sorghum liquor as the base, and the petals, stems and seedless flower heads of midday sunflowers are blended and brewed using a secret method."

Its wine is extremely potent and yang in nature; drinking it can warm and nourish the body and dispel cold.

If one cultivates a martial art that is extremely yang and powerful, then drinking this first cup can increase one's internal strength by a certain amount.

Gu Qianbei said with a smile.

"Sunflower wine? That's quite ingenious. And it can even increase internal energy? Interesting. I cultivate the most yang and powerful method; let me give it a try!"

While Zhang Jinjiu was surprised, his thirst for wine was also completely aroused, and he couldn't help but turn to look at Haitang.

Haitang smiled, understanding what he meant.

"Brother Gu, this is Zhang Jinjiu, who has just won the title of the world's number one detective. He has a lot of knowledge about wine and is also one of the judges for this selection."

"Pour him a full cup. If he's satisfied, then you've secured seven or eight tenths of your title as the world's greatest brewer."

Gu Qianbei suddenly realized what he meant.

So it was Zhang Jinjiu. No wonder he was so authoritative.

"it is good."

Gu Qianbei responded, picked up a wine glass from the side, filled it, and handed it to Zhang Jinjiu.

"Brother Zhang, please."

Zhang Jinjiu quickly took the wine, but instead of drinking it, he took a deep sniff and inhaled the aroma of the wine.

He closed his eyes, looking completely absorbed.

"Leaving aside how the wine tastes, its aroma alone surpasses countless fine wines in the world. Among all the wines I have ever drunk, few can compare to it."

After sighing, Zhang Jinjiu took a sip of wine and his eyes widened immediately.

"Fine wine! It's fragrant and smooth on the palate, with a long, lingering aftertaste..."

Zhang Jinjiu tilted his head back and drank the entire cup of wine down, his face immediately flushed with alcohol.

"Good wine, good wine! Let's drink, don't stop! I'll sing you a song, please lend me your ear!"
