[The Journey of Legend]

[Episode 3]

Actually, I'm doing all this

only to become the grandmaster of Huanhua Sect.

Grandmaster?

Big Brother, you're not joking with us, are you?

Since when do you want that position?

You've never talked about it.

Everyone should have a dream.

Well, if a member of the Shenzhou Sworn Brotherhood

is the grandmaster of a sect,

won't it sound amazing?

Won't it be impressive?

Big Brother, so you're serious?

But...

Mr. Xiao is determined

to make your brother the next grandmaster.

Besides, the succession ceremony

of Huanhua Sect will be held in just a few days, right?

T-That's why we need to pool our wisdom now.

Guys,

use your wit to analyze the situation for me.

W-What

can I do to change my father's mind?

The key to becoming the young sect leader

is to have a good reputation in the martial world.

Your brother is highly reputed in Jinzhong now.

We've done many good deeds in anonymity

over these years.

Your brother is indeed much more respected

than you are in the martial world.

So it's about fame.

That's easy. Let's start with a publicity campaign.

Publicity campaign?

What do you mean?

I'm saying

that we can create a buzz.

Let me explain it.

For example,

we can come up with novel and awe-inspiring

nicknames and promote them around,

so that I'll be known to the martial world before making an appearance.

Without further ado, guys,

write down the names

of all the influential and prominent figures

in the martial world now.

I'll challenge them.

Write down their names?

All of them?

A-Are you sure?

Of course I am.

Come up here. Hurry.

D-Don't catch a cold.

Come on, Qiu, Yuhan.

Seriously?

These many?

"Duckie Don"?

That's brilliant.

He's very famous.

This has been the trend in the martial world for years.

Names like "Heavenly Knight," "Nether Lord," "King of Fame,"

and "Super Swordsman" are commonly seen.

Some even

name themselves "Sweetheart"

and "Duckie," or simply by numbers.

Given that, I'm afraid it's hard to impress others

with novel names.

We can't rise to fame quickly

unless we kill many of those from the Power Gang.

But Big Brother,

didn't you say we must conserve our strength?

Now this is tricky.

Actually, there's a second option.

What is it?

"Behold the divine token of mystery."

“All heroes shall bow immediately.”

What nonsense is that now?

It's not nonsense,

but the precious asset of the martial world.

You mean the Hero Command Token?

Yes.

The Hero Command Token

was made of meteorites by the grandmasters

of Emei Sect, Wudang Sect

and Shaolin Sect.

Rumor has it that Crazy Yan hid the long lost gem of the martial world,

the Voidheart Codex, in this very token.

Big Brother, if you get it,

you'll shoot to fame in the martial world.

The token is in the hands of Old Madam Wu now,

whose son General Wu Jie is guarding the Immortal Pass.

Everybody in the martial world

is looking for Old Madam Wu at the moment.

How are we supposed to find

the Voidheart Codex

within the Hero Command Token?

It's the Voidheart Codex again.

I can't get the secret manual

ahead of schedule without becoming the grandmaster.

But without the secret manual,

I can't become the grandmaster, can I?

What a vicious circle.

Why doesn't the book just let me die?

What are you mumbling about?

This matter is not urgent. Why the rush?

Let's go have fun.

Where to?

Come with me.

H-Hold it, Tang Rou.

Have you quit looking for Feng Lang?

That can wait!

What should be our next move exactly?

Just come with me.

Here it is. We've arrived.

Look, what a beautiful dance.

How lovely.

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

This way, please.

Okay.

So beautiful.

Bravo! Bravo!

Well done!

Do you like it?

I'm glad Your Highness is satisfied.

This dance is newly choreographed.

Go, Big Brother.

Terrific.

I'm thinking about the same thing as you.

Big Brother, what do you think?

This is Qunfang House, also known as a miniature of Qinhuai area.

It's visited by numerous scholars and martial practitioners.

The scene setting does recreate

the description in the book.

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Big Brother.

Big Brother?

Big Brother!

You seem a bit nervous. How come?

I think we should...

Aren't you Mr. Zuo? Long time no see.

Greetings, gentlemen.

Ma'am, lead us to a quiet place.

Sure. Come on.

Come right in.

Let's go, Big Brother.

This way, please.

Hongye, Qingliu!

Yes!

Such powerful toxins.

I can't believe I'm not able to force them out.

Even if I'm too weak to make a move,

whoever tries to approach me will have to die.

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Sir, a pot of good wine for that room.

Sure. Just a second.

Make way! Let us through!

Who are you, Sir?

What brings you here?

Someone killed a fellow of ours and is hiding here.

Stay out of our way!

The Power Gang?

Search!

The Power Gang?

Have they figured out

that I killed Fu Tianyi?

Search carefully, guys!

Go, step aside!

Search!

Make way!

Make way! Out of my way!

You can't just barge in, gentlemen.

Move!

Make way!

Search carefully!

Search!

They took action so fast.

Open the door!

You, go break it!

I'm sorry, buddy.

I'll just hide in here for a moment.

He's in there. Go!

Feng Lang?

He's my lucky bag, Feng Lang the NPC.

Stop!

Who are you? How dare you stand in our way?

When I see an injustice, I'll stand up against it!

Take him down!

Catch the sword!

My muscle memory has completely awakened.

I'm more skilled in martial arts now than I was when fighting Fu Tianyi.

It is nice to have run into Feng Lang.

Big Brother!

Are you alright?

Big Brother,

why did you beat them all down alone so soon?

Are you trying to gain a good reputation?

I got it.

Everyone, take a look!

The third young master of Huanhua Sect Xiao Qiushui has done a good deed.

Spread the news around, please!

Spread it!

So that's Xiao Qiushui?

How impressive.

Now I know it's him.

Yeah.

What an extraordinary fighter.

Xiao Qiushui...

Huanhua Sect...

Shut up.

Lad, do you know who you just saved?

He killed that man so quickly

that I couldn't catch a good look!

Who did you save?

A friend of mine, named Feng Lang.

It's exactly the jade pendant

I wrote about.

With each shake comes a sound of pattering rain.

The Rain Sword.

Correct.

It's him.

The scar is in the same place as I wrote.

The location and the keepsake match the description.

He must be the guy.

[Bamboo]

Oh, you woke up. Don't move.

Just stay in bed.

You're injured.

Who are you?

Answer my question first.

Does this jade pendant belong to you?

Yes.

I am Feng Lang, the owner of the Rain Sword.

It really is you.

This stupid system has finally done something right.

Finally, my buddy.

My dearest friend.

Sir, Sir...

I'm terribly sorry.

I got a bit carried away.

Have we met before?

Now is not too late to get acquainted.

Let me pour you some water.

I have a few questions.

Who taught you sword skills? At what age did you start the training?

What do you like to do best?

Come on, have some water.

I don't know.

Y-You don't know?

H-Has your head been injured?

Are you fishing for

information from me?

This lucky bag has been forcibly activated by my presence.

Maybe he just hasn't settled in.

Lucky Bag, I know you have excellent martial skills.

But don't worry.

Your secret is safe with me.

You keep calling me "Lucky Bag." What does it mean?

How should I put it?

I can't explain it to you right now.

Anyway,

you'll eliminate my enemies, bring me precious items,

strategize for me,

and most importantly, help me become the grandmaster.

What now?

At the first sight of me,

didn't you feel an urge to protect me?

You want to be

my ride-or-die and do anything for me, right?

Not really.

Not really?

When I first saw you,

I didn't think you'd live long.

This is odd.

The Feng Lang I wrote

would not only look for the Infinite Pill for me,

but also transfer all his martial power to me.

Why is this character different now?

You don't consider me as a friend now, do you?

Should I consider you as a friend?

I'm not his friend?

Has the lucky bag not been activated yet?

It's fine. Though you don't see me as a friend now,

soon you'll understand what I'm saying.

Now, the focus should be fixing your injuries.

Water is there. Help yourself with it.

I'll go get you a doctor.

Feng Lang...

Xiao Qiushui...

Mr. Feng's external injuries are not severe.

But he seems to have been inflicted by

the Noxious Beetles.

The Noxious Beetles? Then it's a non-toxic poison.

The only cure is also a non-toxic poison.

I can't believe the Power Gang would be so cruel to him.

Xueyu is a miraculous doctor.

Why don't you bring Feng Lang back to Huanhua Sect for medical help?

The poison in him will kick in within 3 days.

There's no time for that.

Within 3 days?

Then, what can we do?

Big Brother, I know a place—

the Wonder Liquor Villa.

The owner there is known for making miracle-working liquor.

A kind of it is called "Nether Dew,"

which intoxicates the drinkers right away.

It can be counted as a non-toxic poison.

Sounds feasible.

It only takes half a day to travel to

the Wonder Liquor Villa from here.

Alright. Let's set off now.

-Let's go. -Wait, Big Brother.

Who exactly is Feng Lang?

First, you saved him. Now, you're trying to cure him.

It's our duty

to help those in need.

Big Brother, something's off with you.

Yuhan,

I can't explain everything to you now.

I need more helpers,

given the turmoil in the martial world now.

Alright. No more talking. Let's go.

Mr. Feng, hang in there.

We'll arrive soon.

We barely know each other.

Why are you so nice to me?

How should I explain it?

The truth might confuse you.

At present, the priority

is to kindle our friendship.

Is making friends with me that important?

How should I put it, Mr. Feng?

Is it difficult to keep alive in the martial world?

Yes, not easy at all.

Right?

When I first came here,

I had a really hard time.

I'm seriously terrified when I think of

the future obstacles.

Alright. Let's put that behind.

Only when we become friends

in support of each other,

will we be able to go a bit further

in this hateful martial world.

I see.

If you help me get rid of the poison in me,

I'll be your friend.

Why's that forced smile?

Come on. A fist bump.

What is it for?

Just to seal the deal.

Never mind.

Qiu, be quick! Guys, you're all doing

a good job!

We're almost there, Big Brother.

So many people want the Nether Dew.

Is it really that magical?

It is poison

if it is consumed directly.

But when it is mixed with spring water,

it'd taste like nectar.

It is indeed world-class wine.

Zuoqiu.

Tang Rou,

take Mr. Feng to an inn,

so he can get some rest.

Yuhan, Chaoran, let's go.

Time to solve a challenge.

[Wonder Liquor Villa]

Here they come!

Look! Look at my vase!

It's a family heirloom.

Please let me through.

Sell the wine to me. I'll pay you gold!

Everybody, listen to me.

There is only one jar of Nether Dew.

-Here's what our master said. -Only one jar?

He who offers a rare and precious item can have it.

Gold and houses are not exactly rare and precious.

I have what he wants.

Who is this girl?

What kind of treasure is that?

Yeah.

What is she holding?

When Sheye Kingdom collapsed a century ago,

the legendary Sheye Blood Wine

disappeared as well.

However, previously,

someone discovered a pot of it.

Sheye Blood Wine is truly a miraculous brew.

Go ask your master if he wants it.

He'd love to have it!

Miss, rare liquor is my master's favorite.

Big Brother.

Miss, come on in.

H-Hold on!

I brought rare liquor here too.

He has it too?

What kind of liquor is it then, Mister?

An unprecedented kind.

In that case,

how did you get it?

It's my own creation.

Your own creation?

Of course nobody would have tasted it.

How is it deserved to be called "unprecedented"?

I wouldn't have brought it here

to humiliate myself if it wasn't special at all, right?

Sir, my liquor is truly rare.

Have a glimpse of it,

and you'll know I'm telling the truth.

Then please take it out and show it

to me now.

The making of it won't be finished until half a day later.

It's not done yet?

Sir, this man is obviously lying.

Do not waste time on him.

Just give me the Nether Dew.

Half a day later,

if my liquor proves to be ordinary,

then I won't compete for the Nether Dew.

But if my liquor is found to be unique, Sir,

I'm afraid your master will regret not having it for the rest of his life.

Alright. Take your time to mull it over.

Guys, let's go.

Hold on! Mister, please stay.

Let's wait for half a day.

Then, I'll ask my master

to taste both kinds of allegedly special liquor.

He will decide

who can have the Nether Dew.

Thank you.

Big Brother, when did you learn to make liquor?

Yuhan... No. You're Chaoran.

The clock is ticking. We all have tasks.

I'll go buy some liquor now.

You two will go get me some

slim bamboo tubes, porcelain bottles and mint leaves.

Oh, right.

Buy sugar and salt as well.

Bamboo tubes, mint leaves, sugar...

Wait, Big Brother,

are you sure you can fix a drink with those?

Go do it now.

No more dawdling.

Excuse me. Where can I buy liquor?

Over there.

Thank you.

It's been half a day.

I think that man is just a fraud.

He told a lie, and now he has chickened out.

No need to wait for him anymore.

In that case, please come with me.

Wait!

Master, the guests have arrived.

Let them in.

Yes.

Please come in!

Greetings, Sir.

Greetings, Sir.

[Master of Wonder Liquor Villa]

You both brought liquor?

-Sir. -S...

I have a pot of Sheye blood wine.

Master.

Good. No wonder it's a legend.

It's mellow with a lingering aftertaste.

So exotic.

Mister, care to present your liquor?

Sir, there is a whole process

to go through before you taste

my liquor.

Sir.

Master.

Master.

What's the name of this?

People are bothered by many a thing. A sip of it will take all worries away.

This

is called "Mogito."

I got drunk in the mansion.

I dreamed about a beauty beyond description.

When I sobered up with inspiration,

gone with my worries was desperation.

Mogito... How brilliant!

Master,

doest it taste good?

In terms of taste,

it's like any other spirits.

But the sweet citrus juice

complements the spirits

and adds a twist to the mouthfeel.

In particular, the final touch of salt and mint

is an extremely bold choice!

Such a delicious drink

has gone beyond my wildest imagination!

Good. It's amazing!

Hold on!

This man has clearly resorted to

a trick of deceit.

Liquor is liquor.

With the miscellaneous ingredients you put in it,

is it even liquor or not?

The taste of liquor matters most.

Why bother where the taste is from?

Don't you think so, Sir?

You're right, Mister.

Grandpa! Grandpa!

Grandpa! Grandpa!

We want to drink it too!

Children can't drink alcohol.

I'm in a pickle now.

Mister, any idea?

Kids,

not everyone can drink alcohol.

Come here.

Go.

Let me fix you a different drink.

Alright.

Now, try it.

Take a sip.

Is it good?

-Yes. -So tasty.

Grandpa, what is it?

Grandpa, it's tasty!

If you like it,

drink some more. Go!

Yes!

Careful.

Mister, what is that?

B-Boba milk tea.

Devious means.

Miss, your wine worked up my appetite.

But this young man's drink gave me inspiration.

I thought I had reached the ultimate level

of making liquor,

and there wouldn't be more progress.

That made me feel aimless.

Now, I've finally

realized there are territories

in the world of liquor that I haven't charted.

There is so much I need to work on.

Mister, may I have your name?

I'm Xiao Qiushui from Huanhua Sect.

What an admirable young man. I appreciate what you've done.

Butler!

Yes, Master.

Return the Sheye Blood Wine to this young lady

and give her a thousand taels of silver.

Yes.

The Nether Dew is yours now, Mr. Xiao.

T-Thank you.

Who would've known

your Mogito could work?

I thought we'd be kicked out.

Big Brother,

no wonder you asked for different types of bottles.

They were used to distill liquids and concentrate alcohol.

Too bad

that I didn't get a sip of Mogito.

You like that?

I'll make some for you later.

I finally got this stuff.

Foul mouth, plus a veiled face.

People with those features are usually awful.

Trying to rob me after you lost —are you a bandit?

Give me the Nether Dew.

What? Are you going to snatch it from us

in plain daylight?

Yes.

Watch out!

-Big Brother! Are you okay? -Are you okay?

I'm fine.

She has hidden weapons. Be careful.

Fang!

Fang!

What are you doing here?

What about you?

"Fang"?

-"Fang"? -I'm having a tour with my friends.

Fang, this is Xiao Qiushui. Come with me.

So the man you've been hanging out with

is him—Xiao Qiushui?

Fang, Qiushui treats me well.

Qiushui! This is my older sister Tang Fang.

[Tang Fang, from Tang Sect]

Tang Rou, you've fallen in with a bad crowd.

Fang, what do you want the Nether Dew for?

Out of my way.

Fang, Qiushui is a friend of mine.

Please don't be rude.

Tang Rou!

I won't leave you in a dilemma.

Here is the Nether Dew.

Miss, you have to snatch it, right?

Give it to me.

If I drop it, neither of us can have it.

You...

Fang,

Qiushui needs the Nether Dew

to save a friend's life.

I don't know

what you want it for,

but I'm sure

a human life matters most. Right?

The Iron Army

asks for the Nether Dew as a gift.

It is for opening the Omniscience Door.

Isn't it more important than a human life?

Tang Rou,

what is she talking about?

When the Iron Army takes action, there has to be a result.
