Ichor Essence Wine was something that was originally meant for Celestials.

Normal wine would no longer affect cultivators, and the same could be said for Spirit and Immortal wine when Celestials consumed it. As such, they needed special celestial wines to get them intoxicated as well as to provide them with some great effects.

But among those, the Ichor Essence Wine was a bit special.

It was midway between the Immortal and Celestial wines, in that an immortal won't die from consuming it. It would simply get them quite drunk and if they were lucky, they could get some unexpected benefits.

The wine was made from a special substance called as Ichor which was found in some special mines. And when this Ichor was further refined, it would be turned into Ichor essence, which was a good resource for cultivation, not just for Immortals but also Celestials.

More specifically, it could further purify and refine the body. It was something many body cultivators could only dream of obtaining.

And wine made from the Ichor Essence was even more rare. For one to obtain a large enough amount of Ichor was already a sign of great wealth as well as luck. A kilogram of Ichor might only produce a few grams of Ichor Essence. And to make wine from that Ichor Essence was a greater task that would need at least a liter of it.

Lin Mu had only consumed a few drops of it, but even then they were enough to get him drunk.

It didn't matter that he had his body cultivation as well as his Qi cultivation. All of that fell against the potency of the Ichor Essence Wine.

~Chirp~ Content © 2024.

The bird on Lin Mu's shoulder also felt that something was wrong with him. Strong Qi fluctuation radiated off Lin Mu's body, scaring the bird away.

~FLAP~

Ashy quickly left Lin Mu and went to the Saintess where it felt safer.

"What's happening?" She asked with a chirp, concern in her eyes.

She had just obtained her master not long ago, and didn't wish to have any harm come to him.

~Growl~

Little Shrubby also understood that something was odd.

"His Qi is acting up." Little Shrubby said as he became alert.

Just to be ready, he grew to his full size and circulated his own Qi. The Ever Spring Mistress hadn't expected the beast to grow even more and was interested, but had to focus on the matter at hand.

"You shouldn't have given him the Ichor Essence wine, we don't know what he'll do when he's drunk." The Saintess scolded.

"Relax, it won't be bad for him. It'll help purify his body and cleanse the toxins he's accumulated all this time." The Ever Spring Mistress stated. "I can sense the large quantity of impurities that have been accumulated in his body." She added.

The Saintess narrowed her eyes before letting out a sign.

"Fine… but if anything happens, you'll have to bear the responsibility." The Saintess stated firmly.

"Haha, I think that'll be fine." The Ever Spring Mistress chuckle. "I doubt there's any trouble that we can't handle as Celestials." She said.

But she didn't know the words would only come to bite her back.

"Mmmhmm~ This… is… new." Lin Mu spoke, slurring his words.

His eyes had glazed over, while erratic waves of Qi emanated from his body while his face was flushed. But this was just the outward appearance.

Internally, Lin Mu was experiencing a new sensation. A pleasant and euphoric warmth filled him, while his vision became very blurry. At first he felt like he was looking at things through a thick curtain of mist, but after a few seconds, even that changed to strange illusions.

In the hazy mist, Lin Mu saw dancing lights that jumped form one spot to the other. The spots were of different colors too, and caught Lin Mu's attention.

There were red spots, blue spots, yellow spots, azure spots and purple spots. Lin Mu felt innately attracted to them and raised his hand towards one of them. He tried to catch it, but missed it.

"Huh? They are fast…" Lin Mu said, narrowing his brows.

To the others in the courtyard though, Lin Mu's actions were strange.

"He's definitely drunk." The Saintess said shaking her head.

Lin Mu's actions were inexplicable as he kept on running around the courtyard, trying to catch something. ~CLAP~

After a minute or so though, Lin Mu leaped a hundred meters in the air and 'caught' one of the spots.

"Got you now!" Lin Mu said as he opened his hands and looked at the spot he had caught like a bug.

~Sizzle~

But much to his surprise, the spot suddenly let out a sizzling sound and heat up. Of course, the heat wasn't able to harm Lin Mu, but it was certainly strange.

~Shua~

But that was merely the start, a wave of energy spread in the courtyard. ~Growl~

Little Shrubby let out a wary growl, feeling something was wrong. "Fire Dao Traces… I sense them!" Little Shrubby warned.

The Saintess understood him and became alert.

~HONG~

And sure enough, a moment later a tear appeared in the air!

~RIP~

The tear glowed in a red light while burning heat emanated from it. It was only a few inches in size at first, but it soon started to grow.

"What is that?" The Ever Spring Mistress had never expected something like this to happen.

But once the tear grew more and started to expand, they soon got their answers.

~HUALA~

As if a portal to hell had been opened, scorching red flames poured out of the tear, drowning Lin Mu in them. The flames weren't normal either, containing both Immortal Qi as well as Fire Dao Traces!

"Immortal Tribulation," The Saintess frowned. "He's triggered an Immortal Tribulation… The Fire Elemental Immortal Tribulation."

"How's that even possible?" The Ever Spring Mistress couldn't understand. "He's not even near the age limit to trigger the Tribulation automatically." The woman said in confusion.
