It felt the same as leaving trouble-reappearance situations when he left the Heavens Ball . After returning to his body spiritually, Zhang Tie felt pretty quiet in the surroundings except for the sounds of breath .
After opening his eyes, Zhang Tie saw people watching him with various expressions .
The elders of Huaiyuan Palace, including Zhang Taixuan, were bowing deeply towards Zhang Tie . Zhang Tie hurriedly bowed deeply towards them too . After that, he returned to the team of Zhang Clan of Huaiyuan Palace while being treated as a pre-historical animal .
After quite a while, Commander Cheng finally let out a deep sigh .
"I've been fighting in real earth-elements realm for about 60 years and have seen numerous human and demon powerhouses; but I have only seen demons eat humans as hundreds of millions of humans would become the food of demons in each holy war; today, I found such a special knight who could be as fierce as a lion while fighting demons . At the critical moment, even though his limbs were broken, he still ate demon alive and drank demon's blood, how heroic he was!" Commander Cheng's swarthy face turned bright out of pride . He looked very excited . He then clapped his hands, which was as loud as a thunder, "If all the Hua people behaved like him, demons would be exterminated . Come on, bring me my dragon-marrow liquor!"
The moment Commander Cheng finished his words, his attendants had brought in two jars of liquor, one to Commander Cheng, the other to Zhang Tie .
All the people at present, officers or heads and elders of all the clans could only watch Zhang Tie with extremely "admiring" looks .
The biggest winner of this competition was Zhang Taixuan, Count Long Wind of Zhang clan in Yanghe Prefecture; however, the most brilliant one was this Zhang elder who looked just 16-17 years old . Being praised by Commander Cheng and gifted with dragon-marrow liquor, Zhang Mushen would definitely have a bright future in Taixia Country .
"This liquor was gifted by His Majesty when I went to Xuanyuan Hill many years ago . It could relocate your tendons and clean your marrow; maintain and improve your physical health and spirit; consolidate your chakra . Besides, it has many other benefits . One drop of this liquor would be worth 10 kgs of bright pearls . With one drop of this liquor, commoners would feel burning sensations all over their body with relocated tendons and broken bones . They would feel too painful and might even commit suicide . Therefore, only knights could drink such a liquor . Even though knights could barely become drunk after drinking 3 glasses constantly . I've preserved these two jars of liquor for so many years . As I feel pretty happy today, I want to share it with you . Dare you compete with me?"
The jar was purple with dragon patterns on it . It was as large as a ripe common pumpkin . It looked like being made of purple crystal; however, it felt very heavy . After weighing it by one hand, Zhang Tie felt it was about 50-60 kgs with a line of lower sealed small square characters on it——轩辕之丘少府太官秘制呈贡! Zhang Tie was stealthily glancing at this jar of liquor just now; after listening to the explanation of Commander Cheng and watching the thirsty eyes in the surroundings, Zhang Tie was sure that this dragon-marrow liquor was definitely a top drink . 'Evidently, Emperor Xuanyuan usually drank it . Even though Commander Cheng only has two jars . A drop of such liquor would be worth 10 kgs of bright pearl, who will miss such a precious chance?'
'Elder Muyuan was right . The moment I became famous, the benefits would arrive . Given the dragon-marrow liquor, I'm afraid that I could not buy it even if I had money . '
"Please, Commander Cheng!" Zhang Tie raised his jar and put it straight .
"Hahahaha . . . " Commander Cheng burst into laughter while he released his battle qi and opened the sealed cover of one purple jar, followed by Zhang Tie .
The moment they opened the sealed cover, an extremely rich fragrance of liquor had spilled out of the jars and filled the Heavenly Altar and entered people's brains . Besides the exotic fragrance, the dragon-marrow liquor was enshrouding while a dragon-shaped light floated out of each jar . Given such an image, they could imagine how precious was such liquor .
Among the elders of each major clan, especially those, who loved drinks so much, were forcefully sniffing the exotic fragrance while gazing at the two jars of dragon-marrow liquor like how hungry wolves watched fat sheep . At the same time, they forcefully swallowed their saliva .
Zhang Tie found that Elder Gu Qinglong, whom he met in the Heavens Ball couldn't move his eyes away from the jar in his hand . Gu Qinglong had swallowed his saliva for hundreds of times . He seemed longing to drink it on behalf of Zhang Tie .
Whereas, everyone knew that it was gifted by Commander Cheng . Even if they were drooling about that, they could only watch him drink .
Watching Commander Cheng raising his head and pouring the amber liquor into his mouth straightly, Zhang Tie imitated him and also controlled the dragon-marrow liquor to flow into his mouth by battle qi like drinking water under a water faucet .
After having it, Zhang Tie felt that he was not drinking a liquor, but a fire with exotic fragrance . The moment the liquor entered his mouth, Zhang Tie's qi, blood, bone, marrow, tendons and meridians all over had started to thunder . Closely after that, Zhang Tie's chakra started to rock while each pore across Zhang Tie's body started to release a flame-like heat like chimneys . . .
After drinking up that jar of liquor, Zhang Tie felt the flames all over while his face turned red . Feeling a bit dazzled, he slightly rocked for a short while and almost fell down .
"Thanks for your liquor, Commander Cheng!" Zhang Tie appreciated .
"Fine!" After drinking up a jar of liquor, Commander Cheng's swarthy face just turned red . He became more excited and liked Zhang Tie even more . 'He's good at fight and drink; he could defeat that brat of Heavens Fortune Sect, and be a gentleman . What a talent!' Commander Cheng sighed inside . He then asked in a genial tone, "I know you got Mushen as your characters after the rotating chakra ceremony, what's your former name?"
After hearing that Commander Cheng asked Zhang Tie's private name, the other elders of Huaiyuan Palace exchanged a glance with each other as they all felt that Commander Cheng spoke highly of him . The others' looks turned even more "admiring" .
"My parents named me Zhang Tie!"
'Zhang Tie?' Everyone became stunned . This name was too common . Like the character Tie, the name Zhang Tie existed everywhere .
However, at this time, this common name became unusual .
"Fine, I will call you Zhang Tie from then on, I could bear it in mind easily!" After being silent for less than 1 second, Commander Cheng had expressed his opinion, "I lack a commissioned officer Duwei Sima, Class 5, General Eagle, would you like to take it?"
'Duwei Sima?' After thinking about it for a short while, Zhang Tie remembered its meaning——in Taixia Country, all the commissioned officers with Sima were related to the military . Major Sima, one of the top three chancellors in Taixia Country was mainly in charge of the war expeditions and military forces across Taixia Country . Duwei Sima was responsible for the imperial guards of Commander Cheng . Imperial guards of Commander Cheng was the most elite force of Northeast Military Region Commander in Taixia Country .
Even though the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province, a lower province in Taixia Country was just Class 5, the power of Class 5 Duwei Sima could be imagined . What was more, this position was on the side of Commander Cheng . It was closer to Commander Cheng than a common provincial governor of a province . If he could do a good job, he would definitely have an inestimable, bright future . To put it straight, even if Zhang Tie resigned later on, as long as he had made some military exploits and had some experiences in this position, he could easily promote to a provincial governor or become a general cheji at the same class .
Soon after hearing Commander Cheng's words, the other elders of Huaiyuan Palace and the elders of the other 9 major clans took a deep breath at the same time .
Without having to turn round, Zhang Tie had already felt the scorching eyes of the other elders of Huaiyuan Palace on his back . He knew what they were thinking about . If being not afraid of Commander Cheng's power and majesty, they might have long told him to accept it in a secret voice-transmit way . After taking this position, it would be no worse than winning the position of the provincial governor of Youzhou Province for Huaiyuan Palace . Additionally, with one person on the side of Commander Cheng, Zhang Clan would never be matched by the other clans across Youzhou Province .
If Zhang Tie was a real piece of iron, he might have been melted under the surrounding scorching eyes .
