Wine God Palace

Wine God Palace (酒神宫 jiushengong) is located in the Grand Xia Ancient Nation. When LC enters, he sees a portrait of the Wine God and nine stars. He is offered some incense, which then strangely incinerates when he placed it in the censer.
== Summary ==
The Wine God Palace is an organization led by the High Priest of the Wine God Palace that focuses on cultivation through the brewing of wine. The disciples of the Wine God Palace are devoted believers of the God of Wine.
They worship a Wine God. If one questions their faith, they will turn hostile. Qi Hao introduces some wine they made to Long Chen. Although it was the Wine God Palace's lowest grade wine, it was still very refined. It is said that the inner disciples and the core disciples can make wine that will bring a person boundless benefits. The Wine God Palace's disciples are cultured and refined. They don't usually incur hatred.
==Appearance==
It was less than thirty miles in diameter. Looking from the air, it looked like a huge wine pot lying on its side. It was definitely a unique structure. The entrance was the wine pot's spout. Even from the entrance, one could smell a dense intoxicating wine fragrance.
=== Nine-star image ===
The entrance didn't have any guards, nor was there anyone to receive them. Once they were inside, they found themselves in front of a tranquil courtyard. There was a stone stele in front of them with an image of the Wine God.
=== Inside ===
Inside, this building which looked like a wine pot actually had its own space inside. There were mountains, rivers, and lakes. The scenery stretched as far as the eye could see.
The Wine God Palace is in itself a treasure. It contains its own spatial formation inside. There's plenty of farmland, and all the ingredients they put into their wine are grown themselves.
There was a small mountain not far from them. A stone path meandered its way toward it. Plenty of old trees grew within the mountain, and everything was extremely secluded and beautiful. A few pavilions were hidden within the trees, looking like peaceful places to live.
At the foot of the mountain, they suddenly sensed a faint drizzle watering the flourishing grass. This place was full of life.
== Wine ==
Their wine was extremely powerful. Although it was just ordinary wine, there was a special energy within it. If it was refined into medicinal wine, it would allow the medicinal energy to instantly spread throughout the whole body. It would be over ten times more effective than pure medicinal elixirs.
The Wine God Palace's disciples all focus on making wine, and they don't like interacting with the outside world. But the Wine God Palace is an extremely special existence in the entire continent. Many sect masters of large sects will go to the Wine God Palace to worship the Wine God's statue and give them a tribute. The Wine God Palace will normally give them some good wine in return. It's said that the wine made by the experts of the Wine God Palace can allow a person to comprehend the Heavenly Daos. It's extremely beneficial to top experts, so all the large sects treat the Wine God Palace very respectfully. Even Pill Valley doesn't dare to attack the Wine God Palace.
=== Fine wine ===
There wasn't the slightest fragrance coming from this cup. It looked like pure water. But the moment it entered his mouth, its fragrance exploded. Furthermore, some faint energy went through his teeth and up to his head. Long Chen instantly felt like his divine sense had grown sharper.
This wine was too miraculous. The winemaker was definitely an expert. They had actually imparted their comprehension of the Heavenly Daos into the wine. He was not exaggerating when he said that it was divine wine.
The Wine God Palace had different names for all their wines, and all of them had their own realms. That was closely related to the abilities of the winemakers.
But the Wine God Palace's people were all strange. Only they would know the name of the wine they made.
They would send their wine to others to taste. If others could say the realm of the wine, they would bestow more wine upon them. Otherwise, not even a mountain of wealth could buy a single drop.
They were a group of prideful artisans. They would only give their art to people who could appreciate it.
=== Disciples ===
The Wine God Palace has a true god's inheritance. The majority of those people were all stunning experts of their time, people who had shaken their era. That is why they all have their own different insights toward life, and the wine they make is unique to themselves. Others are all groping around within the Heavenly Daos, while they have already reached another realm.
The Wine God Palace's power is such that not just anyone can provoke them. Not even the Pill Valley, nevermind the ancient race alliance would challenge them. 
The Wine God Palace's disciples have already abandoned the martial path in pursuit of the Wine Dao. They abandon suffering and obtain happiness. What they seek is their own chance to become an immortal or a god. But that doesn't represent that they don't have any martial might. As long as others don't provoke them, they won't do anything. Even if someone offends them, they'll normally just expel that person. If no one blasphemes the Wine God, the Wine God Palace's disciples are forbidden from killing.
== Relationships ==
Although the Wine God Palace resides within the Grand Xia, they are not actually controlled by the Grand Xia. They do not belong to any power and are a group of devout, prideful people. They might gift their fine wine to others, but they definitely won't sell it. You can't talk about selling their wine, or they'll treat it as a blasphemy toward the Wine God.
=== Pill Valley ===
But when Pill Valley cooperated with them to create the medicinal wine, Pill Valley's people began to secretly spy on the way the Wine God Palace's disciples made their wine. The Wine God Palace's disciples warned and chided them several times, but they refused to change their ways. The conflicts between them grew. 
The Wine God Palace's disciples are prideful, while Pill Valley's people like to look down on others. As a result, the conflicts grew until there came a day when the Wine God Palace noticed that Pill Valley had been selling their medicinal wine behind their backs. In their fury, they directly kicked out Pill Valley's people and ceased the production of the medicinal wine. As for the Pill Valley, they had already learned the techniques for making wine, and so they didn't care. 
However, when they began to make their own medicinal wine, they suddenly became dumbfounded. Despite clearly knowing the formula and process of creating the wine, the effect of their medicinal wine was not even a tenth as good as the original wine from the Wine God Palace. At that time, Pill Valley finally understood that the true arts were still in their hands, and that they fundamentally couldn't learn them. They tried to fix things with the Wine God Palace, but the Wine God Palace directly told them to scram.
The Wine God Palace hadn't benefited much from their cooperation with Pill Valley back then. The Pill Valley had only taught them some rudimentary arts, but even for those, they had hidden their essence. They refused to give them their true techniques, while they instead secretly peeped on the Wine God Palace's winemaking arts.
The Wine God Palace had been infuriated, as Pill Valley had taken quite a few winemaking recipes as well as a few arts.
That was why the High Priest was very cautious when Long Chen brought up the topic of working together. He told Long Chen this story to say that unless he brought out something that moved him, he wouldn't be able to accept.
== Entering ==
Usually, people must make an appointment before entering. Only the members of my Grand Xia's imperial family have the privilege of bringing people in to pay respects at any time.
Upon entering, an energy waves strips people of their power. It sealed meridians, immortal platforms, and even Spiritual Strength. It is the Wine God Palace's formation that removes peoples' cultivation bases, making them mortal. LC's primal chaos bead was about to resist, but LC stopped it to avoid causing a scene.
