Chapter 1145
The mountain peak was relatively flat.
As far as the eye could see, the landscape was covered in a blanket of white. This made it feel as though it was not
actually nighttime.
The old man brought James to the mountain peak, waved his hand, and a burst of force came forth from his palm.
The power surged forward, and the block of ice before him slowly started to melt away to gradually reveal a stone
table along with several stone chairs.
The old man walked over, sat down, and beckoned at James. He pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Young
man, no need for stuffy formalities. Sit down.”
James walked over, sat down, and looked at the old man curiously. He could not figure out the identity of this
mysterious elder.
He knew this old man was undoubtedly a member of Mount Thunder Sect, but it was hard to guess exactly who he
was.
"Sir... who exactly are you?'
"Haha...” the old man laughed and his eyes sparkled in glee.
"Wait here. I'll go get us some wine."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body vanished and reappeared a hundred meters away. His movements were
as tremendously speedy and James' eyes were unable to keep up with him.
"What astounding Movement Skill," James could not help but murmur in amazement.
The old man disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye.
Some buildings stood on the sides of the opposite mountain.
At that moment, in a training field outside a palace.
A young girl wielded a long sword and twirled it around gracefully. The long sword slashed through the air fiercely
yet effortlessly.
The woman continued practicing for a while before stopping to catch her breath.
She casually tossed the sword away, and a nearby maid accurately caught it and slid it into its sheath.
The maid walked over with the sword and smiled cheerfully, saying, 'Young lady, your swordsmanship has been
improving lately. Given time, your name will surely be known to the world."
The woman grit her teeth bitterly. "It’s easier said than done. Although Mount Thunder Sect has a number of
intricate swordsmanship skills, it's still far behind other top-notch sword techniques."
The woman was Delainey, the daughter of Mount Thunder Sect's leader.

'Young lady, Mount Thunder Sect has collected martial art skills from across the globe. You've already witnessed
many of them and will surely stand out after you successfully master them.”
"By the way, what's the situation with the major factions and families right now? Have any of them begun their
journey to Mount Thunder yet?' Delainey chose to ignore the maid’s words of encouragement.
"Not yet."
'Young lady, there's bad news! The Mount Thunder Snow Lotus Wine has been stolen!"
Suddenly, a man in his thirties rushed over. His face was red and sweaty from hurriedly making his way over to
deliver the news.
"What?! It was stolen? How could this happen? The wine cellar is guarded by elite martial artists. Who could have
possibly stolen it?" Delainey exclaimed aghast.
"I-I don't know. A disciple was performing a routine inspection and found that the Mount Thunder Snow Lotus Wine
on the wine cellar's top floor has vanished."
"Let's go have a look," Delainey said anxiously.
The Mount Thunder Snow Lotus Wine was the treasure of the Mount Thunder Sect.
Snow Lotuses were a specialty of Mount Thunder.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey would only bloom in the winter.
Similar to conventional tea leaves, they were divided into grades. Normal Snow Lotuses were purely ornamental
and appreciated only fortheir aesthetics.
Conversely, there was also the medicinal Snow Lotus. This variety only blooms once a century or could take even
longer.
The Mount Thunder Snow Lotus Wine was made from century-old snow lotuses and was an excellent tonic for
martial artists. A single sip would spare one from a few years of hard work.
Mount Thunder had not brewed Snow Lotus Wine for a hundred years, and the current stock was what remained
from a hundred years ago. Only a scant few remained. Delainey could not absorb the energy within the wine
because she had not cultivated sufficient True Energy yet. She had planned to wait until she reached the fourth
rank and would drink it to leap to the fifth rank.
Her plans went up in smoke as the wine was suddenly stolen.
Meanwhile, James was still waiting at the peak of another mountain.
Soon, the old man returned with a jug of wine and two small glasses.
"Wahaha, I've returned!"
Before he arrived, his voice could be heard from a distance.
The old man sat down and poured out a few drops of the wine.
James looked at the wine glass made of crystal clear jades set in front of him.
The wine poured into the glass was a milky white in color and seemed to emit an ephemeral white glow. The wine's
pleasant aroma wafted into and tickled James' nose.
