"This... I'm not too sure either."

Listening to Wu Yun's question, He Xiuyuan frowned, looking at Ding Maoqin who had submerged into the water and left, then said helplessly after some thought.

He had only heard of this method; as for whether it would actually work, He Xiuyuan truly couldn't say for sure.

Wu Yun sighed, listening to these words and looking at the vanished Ding Maoqin.

If it really didn't work, then he truly had no other options.

"I brought you some wine. Try it and see how it tastes."

Everyone had their own path. The other party had been hiding and eavesdropping earlier, and if this method truly had no effect on him, then it had nothing to do with He Xiuyuan.

Therefore, He Xiuyuan didn't pay much attention to Ding Maoqin at this moment.

What's more, he had almost been killed by him earlier.

Wu Yun listened to He Xiuyuan's words, collected his thoughts, and lowered his head to look at the wine, a smile then curving on his lips.

"drunk moon wine! I'd heard of this wine's name before, but never had the chance to taste it. Mr. He, you've really gone to great expense."

Wu Yun looked at the fine wine in his hand and thanked He Xiuyuan.

His gratitude was sincere; he knew how expensive drunk moon wine was.

He Xiuyuan smiled and waved his hand, "In a few days, I need to go to Chang'an. I don't know how long it will be until I can return after that."

This time, He Xiuyuan planned to also search for other Cultivators.

Therefore, if he went this time, he truly didn't know when he would be able to return.

Wu Yun's hand, which was holding the wine, paused at this moment, his gaze somewhat astonished as he looked at He Xiuyuan.

"Sir is leaving?"

He had just taken this step, and he hadn't expected He Xiuyuan to say that he was leaving, which immediately made him feel a sense of reluctance.

He Xiuyuan smiled at this, "Don't be like that. I'll still have a chance to come back in the future."

Wu Yun nodded helplessly at his words, then picked up his cup and drank drunk moon wine with He Xiuyuan.

After the pot of wine was finished, He Xiuyuan waved at him and turned to leave.

By the time He Xiuyuan returned to Peach Blossom Town, the sun had already set over the mountains.

The setting sun cast long shadows, and the original blue-tiled houses were now all dyed golden, beautiful beyond compare.

Along the way, many neighbors who knew He Xiuyuan greeted him, and even some children respectfully bowed to him.

He Xiuyuan smiled and nodded back at each of them in greeting.

A moment later, He Xiuyuan also arrived in front of the Peach Tree.

Looking at the Peach Tree before him, a hint of helplessness flashed across He Xiuyuan's face.

"Mr. He, here to see the Peach Tree again?"

Seeing this, the people around couldn't help but tease him with their questions.

Lately, He Xiuyuan came to see this Peach Tree every day and touched it; they had long since grown accustomed to it.

He Xiuyuan nodded, placing his hand on the Peach Tree's trunk, and while transferring a wisp of Spiritual Qi, he shook his head and said,

"I was still hoping that perhaps I'd have a chance to see this Peach Tree bloom, but it seems impossible this year. I'm going to Chang'an in a few days, and I don't know when I'll be able to return again."

The neighbors had all heard the news of someone coming from Chang'an.

Hearing He Xiuyuan's words now, they immediately said, "Mr. He, don't worry, we'll help you look after your home."

"As for this Peach Tree, it hasn't bloomed for so many years, Mr. He, you don't need to wait for it."

"That's right, this Peach Tree hasn't bloomed or borne fruit for who knows how many years. Mr. He, if you wait for it, how will you ever see it?"

The people around spoke up one after another.

He Xiuyuan thought about it after hearing this and felt they were right, so he immediately cupped his hands to everyone and turned to return to his courtyard.

And no one noticed that after they all left, the Peach Tree behind them trembled on its branches at that moment.

"What a pity, the yeast I prepared earlier couldn't be used."

He Xiuyuan, who had returned to his courtyard, looked at the prepared yeast, sighed helplessly, and then shook his head.

Then, He Xiuyuan stopped thinking too much and began tidying up his room.

Some things needed to be put away properly, and he also packed a few changes of clothes to take with him.

His current money wasn't much, so saving a little was better than nothing, and expenses in a place like Chang'an might be high.

.......

Night fell.

A Spiritual wind blew past, and the entire Peach Tree's branches seemed to have tiny, sparkling Spiritual lights continuously flickering, then gathering on the trunk.

Then, buds, one after another, began to appear, ready to bloom, and then quietly unfurled.

Sensing the commotion here, the Yin Gods in the Underworld immediately flew up into the sky in unison, looking towards this spot.

And when their gaze fell upon the Peach Tree here, seeing that it was actually covered in clusters of peach blossoms, they were instantly stunned.

"This Peach Tree, hasn't it not bloomed for many years? Why is it blooming today? And if you calculate the time, the month isn't right either, is it?"

The Judge looked at the Peach Tree that had produced buds, currently also staring in a daze, asking in confusion.

The City God's gaze also sharpened at this scene, and then his eyes locked onto the courtyard where He Xiuyuan resided.

"That courtyard, is that where Mr. He lives?"

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the scene where He Xiuyuan had asked for the peach blossom wine recipe earlier.

The reason he had wanted that recipe before, could it be that he had already foreseen that this Peach Tree would bloom, which was why he wanted that recipe?

If that were the case, then this Mr. He was truly formidable!

"Reporting to Lord City God, that courtyard is indeed where Mr. He resides."

The Yin God beside him immediately responded.

Hearing this, the Lord City God nodded, then watched as the buds on the Peach Tree slowly unfurled, and then a strange fragrance slowly spread throughout the entire town.

Upon smelling this fragrance, the faces of several Yin Gods couldn't help but show expressions of intoxication.

"Lord City God, was this Peach Tree saved by Mr. He?"

A Yin God beside him thought for a moment and asked tentatively.

The Lord City God smiled upon hearing this, then his body merged into the Underworld.

Perhaps, he would be able to drink that peach blossom wine again!

This posture, though not an admission, was a tacit acknowledgment.

Seeing this, the surrounding Yin Gods looked at the distant courtyard, and a hint of admiration inevitably appeared in their eyes.

.......

That day.

When the people of Peach Blossom Town pushed open their doors, they smelled a rich floral fragrance, and in the air, pink petals floated throughout the entire Peach Blossom Town.

The people looked up and could see a Peach Tree covered in peach blossoms standing in the southern corner of the town.

From a distance, it looked like a woman who had been meticulously dressed and made up.
