After letting Lie Feng take a commercial flight to Shuangcheng Airport on his own, Qin Xuan directly used his identity to find the highest-ranking general at the Shuangcheng Air Force Base, Tan Song.
While a commercial airliner's speed might be sufficient for Lie Feng, it was not enough for him and Lie Xinyuan.
Therefore, they needed a supersonic aircraft with a faster flight speed to reach their destination more quickly.
Upon hearing Qin Xuan and the other's intentions, Tan Song immediately found the two most skilled pilots in the military region without a word.
He then arranged for them to use the military's fastest J-20 fighter jets, providing full support for their mission.
Seeing the nation's most advanced fighter jet appear before them, both Qin Xuan and Lie Xinyuan were filled with emotion.
However, Qin Xuan's emotion stemmed from the fact that Long Guo had finally developed its own J-20 after years of hard work.
Lie Xinyuan, on the other hand, was amazed by the rapid advancement of technology in the secular world.
"I wish you both success!"
Tan Song respectfully saluted the two and immediately ordered his subordinates to start the fighter jets.
With the J-20's speed, more than twice the speed of sound, Qin Xuan arrived at the Changbai Military Base in just about an hour.
The reason for landing here was that it was conveniently connected to the Changbai Mountain range.
The Yu family from the cultivation world's northeast was located at the summit of Changbai Mountain, near Tianchi Lake.
"This is as far as you need to go. Thank you!"
After leaving the military base, Qin Xuan declined the general's offer of a military escort.
Although military vehicles were good, they were too slow.
In this rugged mountain terrain, flying himself was the most reliable option.
He thought that although his current realm was only at the peak of Qi Refining, his actual strength was equivalent to the middle stage of the Golden Core.
He had never tried flying through the air before, but it was perfectly feasible.
So, after leaving the military zone and finding a secluded spot, he began to practice the art of aerial flight, slowly lifting off the ground and heading straight for the summit of Changbai Mountain.
"This should be about right, shouldn't it?"
After flying for nearly three hours, Qin Xuan finally stopped in a snow-covered clearing.
This place was covered in white, not much different from other areas.
However, in a few inconspicuous corners, there were several unobtrusive black boulders.
Following the method of deciphering sent by his master, Qin Xuan arranged these black boulders into the shape of a peculiar grand gate.
As the gate shape gradually formed, a dense spiritual energy from heaven and earth rushed towards him.
Whoosh!
As the barrier gate opened wider, Qin Xuan flashed and entered the Yu family's barrier.
But a sudden realization made him slap his forehead and exclaim his oversight.
He had forgotten to ask his master for the location of the Yu family patriarch after entering the barrier.
Even though he had entered the barrier, he was still in the wilderness, with no sign of human habitation anywhere.
Fortunately, Qin Xuan's quick thinking allowed him to immediately maximize his spiritual energy absorption.
His flight earlier had consumed quite a bit of spiritual power.
Although his internal circulation was constantly replenishing it, it was still not full.
This was a perfect opportunity to do both.
As expected, when a spiritual energy vortex gathered above Qin Xuan's head again, three whistling sounds of breaking through the air arrived as anticipated.
Qin Xuan revealed his identity and stated his intention to see the Yu family patriarch. The three elders were very polite and directly escorted him to the Yu family's main hall.
To Qin Xuan's surprise, in the main hall, a middle-aged man in his forties with permed curly hair was sitting in the center, holding a cigarette and with his legs crossed.
He was not at all as traditional as the people from the Lu or Lie families.
Through the introduction of the three elders who brought him, he learned that this unrestrained individual was the head of the Yu family, Mr. Yu Qian.
For some reason, Qin Xuan felt a strange sense of closeness towards Mr. Yu.
Therefore, when explaining the situation outside, he unconsciously slowed down his tone and softened his voice.
"Those aliens have now joined forces with the United States and other countries and could invade Blue Star at any moment."
"So I have been ordered to come to the Yu family this time to be able to..."
"We'll talk about what you're here for later, kid, can you drink?"
Just as Qin Xuan was about to explain his purpose, his words were interrupted by Mr. Yu Qian.
Qin Xuan was slightly taken aback, but seeing Yu Qian's serious expression and his firm puff of the cigarette, he nodded and said he could drink a little.
"Haha, good, as long as you can drink, that's fine."
Upon hearing that Qin Xuan could drink, Mr. Yu took another puff of his cigarette.
Exhaling smoke rings, he instantly put on an excited expression.
"When discussing important matters, it must be done over drinks."
"Your business today is no different."
"Drink a few glasses with me, and if I'm satisfied, you can do whatever you want!"
With the words spoken, Qin Xuan naturally chose to obey rather than refuse.
It was only when they sat down at the table that Qin Xuan was surprised to discover that the wine the other party was referring to was not the secular wine he had in mind.
"This stuff is our Yu family's heirloom, 'Immortal's Drunkenness.' Not only is it potent, but it also contains abundant spiritual energy from heaven and earth."
"Normally, neither the old folks nor the young ones can handle more than two cups."
"I only hope that Brother Qin Xuan can hold on for a few more cups, at least so you can tell me what you want to say?"
As he spoke, Yu Qian picked up a special wine pot and poured the wine into exquisite jade cups.
The wine was like nectar; just by looking at it, Qin Xuan could feel a very strong spiritual energy emanating from it.
"Heh heh, do you want a cup?"
Seeing Qin Xuan's curious expression, Yu Qian chuckled and raised his cup, offering it to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan did not refuse. Instead, he took the cup and inhaled its fragrance with some greed.
"This contains at least over a hundred precious Chinese medicinal herbs and more than thirty spiritual herbs. Even a Golden Core cultivator would be able to replenish their vital energy and even improve their cultivation by drinking this."
"Even in the past, such a valuable item would have been rare. Are you really willing to let me drink it, elder brother?"
"Willing! How could I not be willing?"
"As long as you drink with me to your heart's content, I won't even mind if you drink all the wine in the cellar!"
Yu Qian, having lived for over a hundred years, had three favorite things: smoking, drinking, and perming his hair.
Smoking was for leisure, and perming his hair was a personal preference.
Only drinking was like his life.
Unfortunately, in this life, there were very few people who could match him.
Especially when drinking this "Immortal's Drunkenness," everyone he had ever seen showed signs of intoxication just by smelling its aroma.
This time, having finally found someone who understood it so well, how could he let the opportunity pass?
So, without hesitation, he picked up his own wine cup and clinked it with Qin Xuan's.
The crisp sound of wine glasses colliding echoed, and neither Qin Xuan nor Yu Qian paused. With a lift of their hands and a tilt of their necks,
A cup of crystal-clear "Immortal's Drunkenness" was drunk down by both of them.
