Jin Xue's sudden change caught He Xiuyuan off guard.
Watching her extend a slender hand and offer the wine jar, he thought for a moment before taking the jar and drinking a mouthful.
After the wine went down, He Xiuyuan slowly savored it for a moment, then couldn't help but shake his head.
The fine wine on this immortal island seemed to be just so-so.
"Good, bold!"
"Come, keep drinking!"
Perhaps because no one on the island ever drank with her, Jin Xue was overjoyed to see someone finally appear and even drink with her.
At this moment, she held the wine jar and began drinking with He Xiuyuan.
With a thudding sound, a full jar of fine wine was consumed by Jin Xue.
He Xiuyuan watched Jin Xue's drinking style and finally understood why she looked so drunk.
He Xiuyuan lowered his head and glanced at the wine jar in his hand, then, after a brief thought, tilted his head back and drank all the wine inside.
Seeing this, Jin Xue giggled foolishly, then quickly picked up another wine jar from the side and handed it to He Xiuyuan.
She motioned for He Xiuyuan to continue drinking with her.
He Xiuyuan looked down at it and continued to drink.
Jin Xue's small body holding the wine jar looked a bit comical.
And at this moment, sitting on the stone chair, she looked at He Xiuyuan beside her and said, "What you said just now, that all things are Dao, was very well said!"
"Do you have any other insights? Tell me and let me hear them."
Jin Xue blinked her eyes, looking at He Xiuyuan and pressing for more.
Insights?
He Xiuyuan was slightly startled hearing Jin Xue's words, not expecting her to ask him instead.
However, after thinking carefully for a moment, He Xiuyuan then spoke, "There was something undifferentiated and yet complete, which existed before heaven and earth.
Silent and void, it stands alone and does not change, it revolves everywhere and is not in danger, and it can be the mother of heaven and earth.
I do not know its name, so I call it Dao, and I force myself to call it Great.
Great means passing on, passing on means far-reaching, far-reaching means returning.
Therefore, Dao is Great, Heaven is Great, Earth is Great, and humanity is also Great.
Within the domain there are four Greats, and humanity is one of them.
Humanity models Earth, Earth models Heaven, Heaven models Dao, and Dao models nature."
He Xiuyuan recalled his experiences during this period of Cultivation, looked up at the rising sun in the distance, and then spoke with a hint of emotion.
Jin Xue's hand was holding the wine jar, already bringing it to her mouth, but hearing He Xiuyuan's recitation of the Moral Classic, she instantly froze.
"All things are Dao, Dao models nature..."
Jin Xue murmured to herself at this moment, constantly pondering the Moral Classic that He Xiuyuan had just recited.
The obscure and difficult Cultivation Techniques that Master had taught her before, after listening to He Xiuyuan recite the Moral Classic, those Cultivation Techniques suddenly became incredibly clear and understandable.
All the parts she didn't understand were now like a sudden enlightenment.
At this moment, she widened her eyes, looking somewhat dazed at the distant rising sun, and the Cultivation Technique on her body began to operate unconsciously.
And the brush hanging from He Xiuyuan's waist, its tip moved slightly at this moment.
.......
"Phew...."
After a while, Jin Xue turned her head, her eyes, still somewhat drunk, filled with surprise as she looked at He Xiuyuan.
This person...what profound insights!
"You....."
Jin Xue's drunken gaze fixed on He Xiuyuan, and she instinctively wanted to ask about He Xiuyuan's origins.
But He Xiuyuan, at this moment, looked at the wine jar in his hand and felt he couldn't drink any more.
This wine...hmm, it really didn't seem very good.
Thinking of this, He Xiuyuan took out the small wine jar into which he had poured peach blossom wine, then handed it to Jin Xue in front of him.
"This is a fine brew I made myself, Fellow Daoist...would you like to try it?"
"Fine brew!!?"
Hearing He Xiuyuan say this, Jin Xue's eyes immediately lit up, and the words she was about to ask were instantly swallowed, then she eagerly took the fine brew He Xiuyuan offered.
As for the questions she had intended to ask, they were now completely forgotten.
Once the small wine jar was in her hand, she eagerly opened it and then took a deep breath.
The rich aroma of the wine inhaled into her stomach made Jin Xue's body sway slightly, and a blush appeared on her face.
"Good...good wine!"
Jin Xue's eyes were bright, and then she immediately picked it up and carefully took a sip.
When the thick liquid flowed out and was about to drip down the corner of her mouth, Jin Xue quickly sucked it back, unwilling to waste a single drop.
He Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile at this, then took down his wine gourd, opened the stopper, and also took a sip.
This peach blossom wine had been brewing for so long, and it was his first time drinking it.
The golden-yellow wine liquid flowed down his throat, and the rich, lingering taste was endlessly enjoyable.
After taking a sip, He Xiuyuan's face couldn't help but flush slightly.
"This wine...is amazing!"
"But...it's delicious!"
He Xiuyuan looked at the peach blossom wine and couldn't help but take another sip.
"Hmm...this truly is a fine brew, much better than what I brew myself!"
Jin Xue, after one sip, immediately looked a bit overwhelmed by the alcohol, and she couldn't help but murmur at this moment.
He Xiuyuan heard this and couldn't help but glance at the strangely offered wine jar, then looked at the swirling wine inside.
No wonder he felt that this wine didn't seem very good; it turned out it was brewed by her.
This wine couldn't even compare to Chang'an's fine brews.
Jin Xue savored the delicious wine she had just drunk, then took another sip, her body swaying slightly.
"Come, I'll take you to find Senior Sister!"
"Whatever you want, I'll tell Senior Sister later!"
Having drunk He Xiuyuan's fine brew, Jin Xue was now incredibly happy, and even in her drunken state, she hadn't forgotten He Xiuyuan's purpose for coming.
She thought that anyone who came to this island must have some request.
However, she probably couldn't fulfill such a request herself, so she could only go to Senior Sister.
He Xiuyuan heard Jin Xue say this and immediately followed her lead, walking beside her.
He had originally wanted to chat with Jin Xue, which would have been fine, but looking at Jin Xue's state, she was completely drunk.
If they were to chat, he wouldn't know if what Jin Xue said would be just drunken words.
Jin Xue walked ahead, leading He Xiuyuan, stumbling as she walked, but still managing to keep her balance.
"You all Cultivate on this island. Besides your Senior Sister, do you not have a Master?"
He Xiuyuan, hearing Jin Xue's earlier words, asked curiously.
When he arrived, he had heard other spirits mention that only the three Fairies seemed to be mentioned on this island.
As for anyone else, they hadn't been mentioned.
It seemed that there were only the three of them on this island.
Jin Xue burped, smelling of wine, and replied, "Master left a long time ago, leaving behind some Cultivation Techniques and such, and just let us Cultivate on our own."
"It's pretty much like, Master leads the way, but Cultivation depends on the individual."
