I searched in the mall and there really wasn't anything suitable; the items in the mall were quite powerful in function, but it was difficult to find ordinary things.
And what Zhang Haoran wanted was an ordinary wine bottle.
After searching for a while, I finally found a suitable one; it was a gourd, considered a blank.
Of course, that's what the description said.
In reality, it was just a gourd of extraordinary quality.
Looking again, there were quite a few of them, of varying sizes, probably from a specialized gourd cultivation.
The value, however, was relatively uniform, 10 Value Points regardless of size.
Zhang Haoran had the System materialize them all, and after comparing them himself, he found that the half-jin capacity was more suitable; the one-jin capacity was a bit too large.
After all, this was a gourd, not a mineral water bottle.
A mineral water bottle wasn't small, and this one-jin capacity gourd was two sizes larger than a mineral water bottle.
The half-jin capacity one was only palm-sized, with a vibrant green color.
Hung at the waist, it also looked like a trinket.
Zhang Haoran first exchanged for one gourd, poured half a jin of wine from the wine jar into it.
He weighed it in his hand and felt good.
Then he exchanged for thirty-nine more.
It was then that he felt something was off.
Now the whole room was filled with the aroma of wine, and the smell was quite fragrant.
Zhang Haoran did not continue to decant; he would do it when he was ready to give it away.
The wine in that jar had a Formation, so it shouldn't lose its flavor, right?
However, speaking of which, buying the wine only cost 200 Value Points.
Buying the gourds cost 400 Value Points; one could only say that giving gifts was not easy.
But it didn't matter, only 600 Value Points.
Selling three Intermediate combat techniques would get it back.
Picking up the gourd filled with wine, Zhang Haoran prepared to go to the Logistics Department to ask about swordplay.
As he opened the door, a waft of wine aroma emanated from the room.
A passing classmate looked at the wine gourd he was holding.
Smelling the wine, the classmate wanted to say something to Zhang Haoran, but he just nodded and left.
This wine was quite expensive, so it couldn't be shared with classmates.
The key was that he wasn't familiar with that classmate.
He found Old Li in the Logistics Department; Old Li was once again fiddling with that broken sword.
He didn't know what was so good about repairing a D-grade broken sword, and you've been repairing it for so long and still haven't fixed it.
If it really didn't work, if you let a student from the Manufacturing Academy come, it would probably have been fixed long ago.
Zhang Haoran complained about Li Changsheng in his heart, while greeting Li Changsheng with a smile.
However, Li Changsheng still lowered his head and fiddled with his broken sword, ignoring him.
Perhaps he felt that Zhang Haoran had just taken the combat technique book yesterday and hadn't practiced much, yet he came to ask him, which was very annoying.
Zhang Haoran also understood what Li Changsheng was thinking.
But there was no other way.
If he didn't ask soon, his swordplay might reach Minor Achievement.
Li Changsheng ignored him, but he didn't mind.
He pulled up a chair and sat beside him.
He picked up the wine gourd and shook it in front of Li Changsheng.
Seeing no reaction, he simply pulled out the stopper.
A waft of wine aroma drifted out, and Zhang Haoran hesitated whether to pretend more and take a sip.
But just as Zhang Haoran was hesitating, his hand suddenly felt lighter, and the wine gourd was gone.
He looked up and saw Li Changsheng leisurely taking a gulp of wine.
Then, his eyes widened, and a sharp glint shot out from them.
Subsequently, he saw him close his eyes and mouth, holding it in, as if opening his mouth would let the flavor escape.
Zhang Haoran didn't quite understand this way of drinking, so he could only wait patiently on the side.
After a while, Li Changsheng recovered from the aftertaste.
The first thing he did was to stopper the gourd.
From the looks of it, he felt distressed even if a little evaporated.
Zhang Haoran felt a surge of desire watching him.
Should he go back and try some himself?
Li Changsheng shook the wine gourd, probably checking how much wine was left inside.
Seeing Zhang Haoran constantly looking, with an intention to taste it as well.
Li Changsheng immediately tucked the wine gourd into his embrace, looked at Zhang Haoran askance, and said, "Didn't I tell you? You should practice first, and only come to me if you really don't understand.
Why did you come today?"
Zhang Haoran didn't rush to ask about swordplay, but asked with a curious expression, "Li Teacher, is this wine really that good?"
Li Changsheng waved his hand and said impatiently, "Go, go, go, what are you asking for, you who don't drink!"
Zhang Haoran pouted; he still had more than ten jin of this wine, if he wanted to drink, he could go back and drink it.
It seemed this wine was indeed good; he would find someone to send some to his dad and grandpa later.
Zhang Haoran remembered the purpose of his visit today and, regardless of whether Li Changsheng was happy or not, directly began to ask questions.
He asked all the difficulties he encountered and the parts he didn't understand while practicing swordplay.
When Li Changsheng heard these questions, he felt something was off.
How could this be someone who hadn't practiced?
This must have been at least several hundred, even a thousand, sword strikes.
How much time had passed?
However, after thinking for a moment, Li Changsheng chose not to ask further.
Instead, he seriously answered Zhang Haoran's questions.
And after answering the questions, Li Changsheng explained the entire Chang Sheng Swordplay to him again, explaining it very meticulously.
He even mentioned the problems he might encounter during future practice.
He even told Zhang Haoran about some problems that might be encountered when Cultivating Intermediate swordplay.
Having the creator of the swordplay guide the swordplay felt different.
Zhang Haoran felt that if he practiced swordplay now, at most within an hour, his Haoran Swordplay could reach Minor Achievement.
After listening to Li Changsheng's explanation, he prepared to go back and practice swordplay.
As he was leaving, he said to Li Changsheng, "Li Teacher, that gourd for holding wine is not an ordinary item; if you hang it on your waist, it has a lot of swagger."
After speaking, he got up and left.
Hearing Zhang Haoran say this, Li Changsheng took the wine gourd out of his embrace and carefully observed it.
Before, he had been too focused on drinking and hadn't paid attention to this gourd.
Now, upon closer inspection, this gourd was indeed unusual.
Could it be a gourd that grew on some Demon Plant?
Do Demon Plants even have gourd vines?
He hadn't heard of it.
However, looking at the quality of this gourd, this Demon Plant was at most a seventh-grade one.
But this gourd was still very rare; it was indeed a good thing.
Li Changsheng opened the gourd again and took a sip.
Then he hung the wine gourd on his waist.
Zhang Haoran returned to his dormitory and directly entered the Martial Arts Arena.
He took out a gourd and filled it with monkey wine.
He picked up the gourd, put it to his mouth, and took a small sip.
Besides being spicy, he didn't feel anything.
It seemed he really didn't know how to drink.
The System sold it for 200 Value Points, and it didn't help with Cultivation at all.
That is to say, these 200 Value Points were purely based on the quality of the wine itself.
However, since it was a good thing, he had to bring some to his family.
After thinking for a moment, he filled four more gourds with monkey wine.
One for his dad, one for his mom; even if his mom didn't drink it, she could give it away.
His grandpa was old, so he gave him an extra one.
Then he went downstairs and bought a few bottles of Maotai.
He took out the wine inside, keeping the packaging boxes.
He put the wine gourds inside.
After thinking about it, he still wasn't at ease, so he took out a pen and wrote "To be opened by recipient" on it.
Then he took out his phone and called his Fourth Uncle, saying he had some things to send to his parents and grandpa.
He asked Fourth Uncle to send someone to pick them up.
After arranging a time with Fourth Uncle, Zhang Haoran entered the Martial Arts Arena again.
He practiced Chang Sheng Swordplay.
As expected, in less than an hour, Chang Sheng Swordplay reached Minor Achievement.
Seeing that it was almost time, Zhang Haoran returned to his room.
He replenished his Qi and blood to 270 cards.
He took off his badge, picked up a book, and began to read.
Soon, Fourth Uncle arrived, and Zhang Haoran welcomed Fourth Uncle into the room.
The two chatted.
He introduced everything to Fourth Uncle, except for his Cultivation progress and some things that couldn't be mentioned.
