Gourmet of Another World
chapter-196

Bu Fang cracked open the mud cap with a light pop and was instantly hit with a burst of wine fragrance surging out of the wine jar . The aroma, as if taken the shape of enshrouding mist, gushed up Bu Fang's nose and made his taste buds tingle .

This was a remarkably rich fruit wine aroma, with a splash of sweet astringency . However, such touch of sweet astringency did not affect the fragrance of the wine one bit . Instead, the aroma became even more alluring and intoxicating .

Bu Fang opened his eyes wide, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva in a "gulp" . Afterwards, he inched his nose closer and inhaled deeply . The wine fragrance crawled up his nose like a tiny serpent and travelled through his limbs, making him all the more exhilarated .

"Such wonderful aroma! Such wonderful wine!"

Bu Fang gasped in admiration, but his countenance remained largely unchanged . That was because he utilized the "Wine within Wine, Jar within Jar" brewing method, meaning this was not yet the final end product .

Even though the wine fragrance was, at this point, quite impressive, it was merely on par with the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine . To completely surpass it, or even compare with the "Dragon's Breath" described by Ni Yan, there was still a noticeable distance .

Bu Fang was not in a hurry . He fetched three smaller wine jars, and used a bamboo tube to scoop out the wine nectar from the bigger jar and into the smaller jars .

The bamboo tube was dipped into the wine jar . With a gentle scoop, the wine nectar rippled like a river stream . Its fragrance, having subsided for a long time, suddenly burst forth, adding a sense of indulgence to Bu Fang's expression .

This time, the wine nectar was not clear as spring water, but presented a hue of pale yellow . The yellowness was simple and unpretentious—not the type of muddy yellow caused by a mix of impure substances, but a yellowness that was crystalized and untainted in tone .

The wine nectar from the original jar was distributed into three smaller wine jars . What was left in the bigger jar was remaining residues . Bu Fang took out a filter and poured in the leftover wine nectar, eventually filling up another half of a jar .

Having done all of this, Bu Fang felt a burning flame in his heart once more .

With a layer of true energy wrapped around his palm, Bu Fang carefully extended his hand into the wine jar . He grabbed one of the jars, which turned out to be scalding hot . In that moment, he shivered inside .

"This should be the jar with wine brewed with the Phoenix Blood Herb . " Bu Fang's heart tingled . He applied force and removed the small wine jar .

The small wine jar looked smooth and slippery on the outside . If it weren't for the true energy coated over Bu Fang's palm, he would have had a hard time taking it out of the large wine jar .

The moment he pulled out the wine jar, Bu Fang was taken back, as the wine jar in his hands completely transformed . The surface of the wine jar picked up a fiery blaze of redness yet kept a crystal clear tone . Its material seemed to have totally transfigured .

Through the translucent external coating, one could basically see the insides of the wine jar . The wine nectar within presented a flame-like redness, with a hazy bed of air hovering above . Bu Fang felt quite awed inside and placed the small wine jar onto the table . As a beam of light shone down, a gleam of redness radiated, all magnificent and enchanting .

Bu Fang tsked in exclamation, and continued covering his palm with true energy . He extended his hand, seized a bone-chilling, ice-cold wine jar, and took it out .

The wine jar has transfigured into a pale blue color, as if made of ice crystals . It emitted a hint of winter chills .

Without a question, this was the jar with wine brewed by the Ice Soul Monarch Lotus .

With the third reach, Bu Fang finally took out the last wine jar . This was the jar with wine brewed by the Three Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit .

The surface of this wine jar did not undergo as much dramatic changes like the last two . The three stripes of cloud shaped moires on the outside merely appeared fuller, as if clouds truly floated about, thick and undissipated .

The three wine jars resting on the table looked unique in their own ways, each a dazzling feast for the eyes .

Bu Fang dispersed the true energy in his hands, squinted at the three wine jars, and curled the corner of his lips . Now this was something .

He picked up the flame red wine jar . Its mud cap bulged, as if about to break open .

Bu Fang took in a breath lightly, and cracked open the mud cap .

"Bang!" With a loud rumble, the mud cap shot to the sky . A pounding phoenix's wail blared from the wine jar .

An outline of a fiery red phoenix spread its wings and leaped out .

In blazing flames, the silhouette twirled in the air and transformed into a vigorous blast of wine fragrance before exploding .

Bu Fang sniffed this wine aroma, and instantly felt his entire body trembling . Every particle within him buzzed dynamically . His eyes sparkled as the true energy within his body was traveling at a faster speed .

"A flame-like, rich wine fragrance! A burning sensation!"

Bu Fang thought in his heart, and then shifted his gaze to the interior of the wine jar . Without the time acceleration property of the kitchen cabinet, to reach this level of aroma, the jar of wine would have required three years of brewing . The scent spurted out, stirring one's heart .

The wine fragrance of this jar alone was rich and intense enough to diffuse and hover over the entire store . In fact, it even spread to the alleyway, pervading the air around .

Blacky, who was previously lying down, was also shaken by the wine aroma and immediately lifted up its doggy head . His eyes blinked and peered toward the inside of Bu Fang's store .

The wine nectar in the wine jar presented a fiery shade of red . Its fragrance resembled a scorching flame . With a light shake of the jar, one could faintly hear the wail of a Fire Phoenix .

Bu Fang then directed his gaze to the wine jar that looked as if it was made of ice crystals . With the mud cap unsealed, the fragrance of a wine brewed for three years also burst forth and gathered above the wine jar . It transfigured into a blooming, ice-blue lotus flower .

The aroma of this jar of wine was not burning hot, but ice cold instead . Bu Fang felt as if his entire nose was frozen by the chills, and slightly scrunched his brows .

With a gentle tap on the wine jar, the ice blue wine nectar instantly rippled . It formed waves after waves, reverberating a light, crispy echo .

Bu Fang licked his lips and then targeted the last jar, which was made of the Three Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit . Unscrewing the mud cap, its effects were plain, and nothing special took place .

Bu Fang was stupefied, and pulled himself closer to observe . Suddenly, the first stripe of cloud-shaped moire scattered . As if a violent jolt of the heart, an intensely rich wine fragrance gushed out, almost knocking Bu Fang to the floor .

The wine aroma was incomparably strong, spreading everywhere . It poured out of the store and even stormed out of the small alleyway, adding an intoxicated complexion to countless people standing nearby . With a sniff, they blushed and trembled in tipsiness .

Bu Fang felt dizzy, and was still shaking from being blasted by the alcohol's strength . The second stripe of cloud-shaped moire also charged forth, forcing Bu Fang to take another step back .

As if a soundless ripple effect, the wine fragrance disseminated once more, nearly engulfing the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant .

Ni Yan, who brought Ye Ziling to feast on gourmet delicacies in the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant, suddenly froze . Her petite, delicate nose twitched vigorously and her eyes sparkled as if they were stars shining in the dark night sky .

"This wine aroma… where is it from? How could it be this rich!"

In a flash, Ni Yan immediately left the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant with Ye Ziling . Her nose continued to jerk, in search of the origin of this wine fragrance .

Once the third stripe of cloud-shaped moire of the Three Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit also spurted out, Bu Fang's store became a sea of wine fragrance . One sniff of the aroma made Bu Fang's complexion flush with rosiness, as if he had drunk a cup of strong wine himself .

Bu Fang circulated his true energy to suppress the tipsiness within . His eyes uncontrollably flashed with astonishment .

Who would have thought that a wine nectar brewed with these three ingredients and under such special methods would have such unexpected effects…

But… this wine nectar was still not the ultimate end product .

Bu Fang took out a jade jar and with a solemn face, poured into it half a jar of the yellow toned wine nectar from the original larger jar . Afterwards, he respectively poured in half a jar of the flame red wine jar, the ice blue wine jar, and then the Three Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit's wine jar .

He used the jade jar to mix together these three kinds of wine nectar .

The insides of the jade jar gleamed with brilliance, shaking lightly .

Bu Fang's eyes lit up . He sealed the jar with a lid, and then concentrated the true energy on his hands .

With the slam of a hand, the wine jar instantly elevated to mid-air, tossing and turning as it continued buzzing with sound .

Dong!!

The jade jar landed fiercely on the table and emitted a loud rumble . Bu Fang's forehead was covered with fine drops of sweat, his eyes burning with flames .

This wine… was finally finished .

The lid was carefully lifted from the jade jar, yet nothing spectacular or odd occurred . However, the scent was richer than ever as it streamed out, tens of thousands times stronger than those of the previous four wine aromas .

The flooding wine fragrance was vast and mighty, as if turbulent ocean waves tumbling .

In that instant, Bu Fang was utterly immersed and lost within it .

The wine aroma rolled up like flaps of the sea, its tempestuous waves rising higher and higher . With the store as the core, it continued expanding outwards .

Ni Yan's face suddenly changed colors as she pulled Ye Ziling along . Her complexion flushed with rosiness as her entire body trembled and shivered . This wine fragrance… had changed again! It had become increasingly marvelous!

The wave-like wine fragrance permeated in all four directions . With the little store as the center, half of the Imperial City had been engulfed!
