The Sword Emperor seemed hesitant but took the cup, allowing Minister Wang to pour him a drink.
"Now this here is quite a special drink, plum wine that's been aged over a hundred years! The plums used to make it had been frozen within the Lake of Tengliu for a dozen winters, giving it a new depth of flavor."
The minister chuckled as he placed the gourd down between them.
Master Jing raised a brow whilst looking at him, looking rather impressed.
"Wine created using the Lake of Tengliu? What kind of madman would do such a thing there? That place is a death trap in of itself."
Minister Wang just smiled while looking back.
"Ah, but you've heard of this particular madman. A lover of wine who excels at the Dao of Ice!"
"Could it be the Northern Drunkard then? I didn't realize he makes wine but if it's him, that is understandable", Master Jing replied.
