Chapter 236: Six Meridians Divine Sword
"That's enough." Ge Dongxu smiled, then gave Fang Fei a few needles, and soon Fang Fei felt his somewhat groggy and fatigued mind clear up a lot, his gaze towards Ge Dongxu filled with increased reverence.
After giving Fang Fei acupuncture, Ge Dongxu wrote a prescription for Feng Jiahui.
After all these tasks were completed, Feng Chenqing came in to announce that the kitchen was ready, and they could start the meal.
The Feng Family was relatively prosperous, totaling over twenty people with sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, the security chief, and nursing staff, so they split into two tables.
The grandchildren and staff sat at one table, while young Ge Dongxu was pulled by Elder Feng to sit beside him, with other dignitaries sitting below him, making Ge Dongxu feel somewhat uncomfortable, almost wishing to join Feng Chenqing's table and mingle with the younger crowd.
The meal lasted from afternoon till evening, quite lively and joyful. During this time, Feng Chenqing and others all came up to toast Elder Feng, and after toasting Elder Feng, they toasted Ge Dongxu.
Feng Chenqing was okay, having spent time with Ge Dongxu, but the other young people had not, and when they toasted, they couldn't help but use curious looks to size him up, like Feng Jiahui's daughter, a peculiar and sprightly girl, who even encouraged her cousins to take turns toasting Ge Dongxu.
There was no help for it, young people always feel somewhat unreconciled that someone as young as Ge Dongxu would sit with their grandfather, while their own parents had to sit at the lower seats.
However, after a few rounds, the third generation of the Feng Family grew somewhat convinced, as this young man from the South, Ge Dongxu, was not only generous in drinking, without any airs, but also drank as if it were water, many drinks later and still without any issue, not even visiting the restroom once, whereas they, drunk, had visited the restroom multiple times.
"Haha, these kids, thinking they could outdrink you when you can even drive out the cold from inside me; now they see how capable you are," Elder Feng said with a hearty laugh as he watched his grandchildren making frequent trips to the restroom.
"Dongxu, how much can you actually drink?" Feng Guozhen, as a military man, was a strong drinker, after seeing Ge Dongxu drink so much without a problem, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It depends on how I drink it. If it's a normal drinking session, I'm actually about at my limit now, any more and I'd be drunk. But if I use some tricks, then I could really drink without ever getting drunk," Ge Dongxu laughed.
"Eh, you mean you didn't use any tricks earlier?" Elder Feng, hearing this, couldn't help but express surprise.
"My master loved his drink in his old age, and I've been soaking in wine since I was very young, so I didn't need to use any tricks to drink with them," Ge Dongxu laughed.
"Dongxu, you're not saying your tricks are like that Six Meridians Divine Sword, directly forcing the wine out, are you?" Feng Guozhen asked with a face full of surprised curiosity.
"Pretty much," Ge Dongxu laughed.
"Really? Really? Let's see a demonstration!" Fang Wanyue, Feng Jiahui's daughter, just returned from the restroom, heard this and suddenly brightened up, excitedly asking Ge Dongxu to show them.
She had heard from her mother and her cousin Feng Chenqing that Ge Dongxu was a remarkable person with incredible skills. However, after meeting him and seeing he looked no different from an ordinary young man, not dressed in long robes with flying hair like the characters in TV and movies, she naturally was a bit skeptical.
Of course, she was very impressed by his drinking skills now.
"Watch your manners, do you think this is a circus act?" Elder Feng, hearing this, immediately put on a stern face and scolded her.
Elder Feng's face darkened, and Fang Wanyue's complexion turned pale in an instant.
Elder Feng had always been strict in family education. Not only Fang Wanyue, but even her parents and uncles deeply revered the elder.
"Hehe, Elder Brother Feng, it's natural for Wanyue to be curious, and besides, this is just a minor trick. Since everyone is in high spirits today, I'll demonstrate a little," Ge Dongxu said, seeing Fang Wanyue's pale face and feeling somewhat uneasy; he laughed and smoothed things over.
"These young people have no idea what impressive means, Dongxu, you shouldn't..." Elder Feng softened his expression upon hearing this and gave Ge Dongxu a bitter smile.
"Hehe, it's all right, Elder Brother. For me, this is really just a minor trick. Just don't spread it outside," Ge Dongxu laughed, then asked someone to bring over an empty bowl and set it on the table.
At this point, not to mention the youngsters who had already forgotten Elder Feng's earlier scorn, everyone looked curiously and expectantly at Ge Dongxu and the empty bowl on the table, even Elder Feng's face revealed a hint of curiosity and anticipation.
Although he had persisted in Breath Control for over seventy years, it was after all only the most basic introductory Kung Fu. He could manage to use his energy to sweat out some alcohol, but as for forcing alcohol through his fingertips like the "Six Meridians Divine Sword" described in novels, that was far beyond his reach.
Under everyone's gaze, Ge Dongxu gave a faint smile, brought his middle and index fingers together, and a stream of alcohol shot out from his fingertips, continuously falling into the bowl.
This scene, typically only seen in novels and television, was something those present had never imagined witnessing in reality; they stared transfixed. The younger ones, in particular, couldn't help but show looks of awe and admiration towards Ge Dongxu.
Ge Dongxu briefly demonstrated, then promptly stopped.
There was a moment of silence, then after a while, the youngsters began to clap, and Fang Wanyue even exclaimed, "Wow, the Six Meridians Divine Sword, Dongxu, you're amazing!" Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
"Dongxu, today I've truly seen something spectacular. It's unfortunate that my father said you have no interest in politics; otherwise, I would definitely try to recruit you to the military," Feng Guozhen said with a look of regret.
Feng Guozhen was a commander in a certain military group, and while the military had its share of experts trained in internal Cultivation Techniques and Hard Qigong, none could perform like Ge Dongxu, forcing alcohol out through their fingers.
The young people were completely stunned by Ge Dongxu's performance and were intensely curious. Feng Chenqing, the eldest grandchild of the Feng Family, couldn't help but ask, "Dongxu, you're so impressive, can you perform the legendary Qinggong?"
Qinggong was the dream of countless young people in Huaxia Country, including Feng Chenqing, the eldest grandchild of the Feng Family.
Regarding this question, Liu Jiayao had asked Ge Dongxu before, and at that time, Ge Dongxu couldn't answer. This time, he didn't respond but merely gave a noncommittal smile.
However, this noncommittal smile brought silence to the entire room, everyone looking at Ge Dongxu with incredulous and reverent eyes, even Elder Feng was greatly moved.
He was very aware of a special department in the country, which had recruited many extraordinary individuals, but as far as he knew, none could actually perform acts like scaling walls and rooftop-running; they merely jumped higher or further than ordinary people.
