After Liu Wenshan finished speaking, he stepped down from the platform. Xi Xueyi of the Mu family then stepped up. Her appearance surprised all the martial artists present. She held a high reputation in the martial arts world, having been known as the Snow Fairy. Her beauty and martial arts skills were highly praised.
When Xi Xueyi took the stage, representatives from many sects immediately recognized her. After all, before marrying into the Mu family, Xi Xueyi enjoyed an extremely high reputation in the martial arts world. Her retirement had left countless young martial artists heartbroken, as if her departure had taken away a piece of the snowy landscape from the martial arts world.
Unexpectedly, she reappeared before everyone today as the wife of the Mu family's headmaster. People saw that even with the passage of time, Xi Xueyi's grace remained unchanged, her temperament even better than before, and a calm and composed expression emanated from her brows. Now, she was even more eye-catching than before.
Many in the martial arts world harbor a deep resentment towards Mu Yunfeng, believing that it was his presence that caused Xi Xueyi, the Snow Fairy, to completely withdraw from the martial arts world and no longer roam the martial arts world as an independent being. Now, upon their reunion, they are overwhelmed with mixed emotions, a mixture of nostalgia and regret.
Xi Xueyi stepped onto the podium and didn't speak immediately. Instead, she opened the jar of wine she was carrying. The rich aroma of wine instantly filled the air, spreading across the empty square. This aroma, like her aura, was intoxicating and refreshing.
The wine in Xi Xueyi's hand was the baijiu Chu Fan had meticulously purified. With no wars in Wei in recent months, the consumption of purified alcohol had decreased. Chu Fan had stopped producing high-concentration alcohol and instead diluted the remaining alcohol to create this fine wine.
This fine wine is not only fragrant but also rich and mellow, with an alcohol content far exceeding that of contemporary wines. It offers a spicy kick upon sip, seemingly igniting inner ambition. For a warrior, such wine is undoubtedly a rare treasure.
Everyone was immediately captivated by the aroma of the wine, their gazes fixed on it. This was especially true for the warriors, most of whom were avid drinkers, and the strong aroma made them salivate. They discussed the wine's origins, eager for a chance to taste this rare and fine wine.
At this moment, an elder of the sect could no longer suppress his inner curiosity. With anticipation glittering in his eyes, he asked Xi Xueyi on the high platform:
"Snow Fairy, could the fine wine in your hand be the legendary, much-desired celestial brew? Why does it exude such a rich and enchanting aroma? If this is indeed the legendary celestial brew, I wonder if we, the guests present, will be lucky enough to have a taste of this fine wine?"
Xi Xueyi heard someone eagerly asking, and she smiled and replied gracefully, "You all misunderstood. The wine in my hand is not the legendary immortal brew. As for its name, please allow me to keep it secret for now. When the Royal Yuya Villa officially opens tomorrow, everyone will naturally understand everything. Then, just go to the Juyi Tower, and all your doubts will be resolved."
Xi Xueyi didn't elaborate; this was exactly the effect he was aiming for. She knew that unattainable desires would only heighten curiosity and anticipation. As long as this sense of mystery persisted, the Mu family's Juyi Building would surely be packed with people tomorrow, eager to explore its secrets.
Xi Xueyi simply placed the jar of wine on the platform and quietly departed. However, the aroma of the wine, like an invisible thread, entwined itself with the hearts of every warrior present, leaving them itch-ridden and unable to calm down. They all resolved to visit the Royal Yuya Villa tomorrow to personally uncover the secrets of this mysterious wine and discover its true nature.
Next up on the stage was Tang Hongwen, the Minister of Works of Wei. As a mere craftsman, Tang Hongwen held little reputation in the martial arts world, nor did he hold any significant influence among the literati. Therefore, his arrival on stage didn't cause much of a stir, but his words shocked everyone present.
Tang Hongwen stood on the high podium and solemnly announced: "Tomorrow, after the Royal Yuya Villa opens to the public, the Divine Weapon Pavilion will hold an auction. Ten divine weapons forged from Hundred Refined Iron will be auctioned. I hope everyone will support our Divine Weapon Pavilion."
As soon as Tang Hongwen finished speaking, he ignored the audience's reactions and walked straight off the stage. However, the warriors in the audience were excited. For them, the Hundred Refinements Divine Weapon held an irresistible appeal, and for those well-funded sects, it was an opportunity not to be missed.
Even the Queen of Canglan was deeply tempted by this. She knew full well that a superior weapon could significantly enhance combat effectiveness. If her guardians were equipped with such a powerful weapon, their strength would undoubtedly increase significantly. Her own safety would also be more firmly guaranteed.
Afterwards, Changsun Dechong, Wen Zhengqing and Cao Ang came on stage one after another. Their appearance did not cause any commotion, because the items sold by the previous three were too dazzling. In comparison, the things they displayed seemed bland and did not attract much attention.
Finally, Chu Anping from the Royal Government Affairs Office took the stage. He spoke confidently, "Royal Elegant Villa is a place of welfare established by the Wei royal family as a token of gratitude to the people. It contains not only a variety of new and rare treasures, but also numerous rare cultivation resources. If you think the threshold to enter Royal Elegant Villa is too high, then there is no need to enter."
Chu Anping continued to explain, "After entering the Royal Elegant Villa, in addition to the areas managed by the several families mentioned above, there are many more areas managed by the royal family waiting for everyone to explore. I believe that everyone will discover many surprises when they enter."
After Chu Anping finished speaking, he gracefully stepped down from the platform. Eunuch Li then stepped forward and announced, "Today's enthronement ceremony concludes here. Tomorrow, the Royal Yuya Villa will be welcoming you all."
After Eunuch Li finished speaking, he slowly retreated, and Chu Fan also quietly left the place at this time.
After Chu Fan and Chu Yuanwu, two of Wei's top figures, left, representatives from various factions began to discuss privately. Many of them began to seek out connections within Wei, hoping to learn more about the internal affairs of the Royal Elegant Villa through them, hoping to unearth some valuable information.
After all, even among the royal family of Wei, many were cultivating in other countries or other sects, so it was not uncommon for them to have acquaintances in Wei. These acquaintances could often provide insider information, which was an important way for those who wanted to learn about the Royal Ya Villa to obtain information.
