In the next two days, Chen Ping was familiar with Tianyan City.
On the third day, Chen Ping just walked out of the inn and was immediately greeted by two excited monks outside the inn door:
"Brother."
"Brother. It's really you."
Their appearance has not changed much, they just look older. Chen Ping naturally recognized him at a glance.
The two people were Guo Zizhao and Lin Changshou.
"It's really you. How long have you been waiting? Why don't you go into the inn to find me?" Chen Ping was also happy to meet an old friend in a foreign country.
Releasing missing person information is just a matter of luck, and it is not certain whether they are in Tianyan City.
I didn't expect it to be there.
Hearing Chen Ping's voice, the two became even more excited.
Haven't seen him in nearly twenty years.
"Brother, you are really here. After hearing the news from Tingxuan Tower today, we rushed here early in the morning, but to be cautious, we didn't know if the person inside the inn was my eldest brother. So we stayed outside the inn until we saw him just now Only then did you realize that you are really the big brother here." Guo Zizhao said excitedly.
"Don't stand outside, come into the guest room to chat." Chen Ping greeted. There was a mixed crowd outside, and it was not convenient to talk about many things.
"Okay." The two of them smiled.
When they arrived at the guest room, Yu Lingchun was a little surprised that Chen Ping had left and returned. When she saw Lin Changshou and Guo Zizhao behind her, she was even more surprised:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Guo, are you also in Tianyan City?"
"Yes, I have met Madam-in-law." The two greeted each other with a smile.
Chen Ping led the two of them into the living room of the guest room. It was said to be a guest room, but because it was a luxurious first-class room, there were several partitions inside.
This living room is one of them.
Chen Ping briefly introduced the ins and outs to Yu Lingchun, and coupled with what Guo Zizhao and Guo Zizhao said, Yu Lingchun suddenly understood.
turn out to be.
After Guo Zizhao left the Qingyun Territory with the caravan, they did not dare to stay, fearing that the Murong family members behind them would find clues and pursue them. The two then continued north and arrived at the Xiuxian City of the next small sect.
Because it was too far away from Tianyan City, the caravan no longer continued its route to the north, but traded at the southern edge of Tianyan Territory, Qingyun Territory and several surrounding territories.
The two of them had to stop at Xiuxian City.
But they both remembered that Chen Ping said that if he went to Tianyan Domain in the future, he would only go to the big Xiuxian City.
They have been waiting for the opportunity.
Finally, three years later, we once again saw a long-distance trading caravan.
Then he followed the caravan back and forth, and even worked as a part-time worker for the caravan, traveling to various places. It finally took him five years to reach Tianyan City.
Since then, he has been settling in Tianyan City.
"Tianyan City is much more stable today than in Qingyun Territory, but the cost of survival here is high, especially the rent of houses is ridiculously expensive. Many low-level casual cultivators have gone to smaller casual cultivator cities in the surrounding areas. I Fellow Daoist Lin and I had to go back to our old business just to survive." Guo Zizhao grinned.
In the large Xiuxian City, on the one hand, the rent of the houses is expensive, but after all, the aura is more intense.
On the other hand, there are various kinds of cultivation materials, which will constantly induce you to consume. In addition, there are many high-level and wealthy monks around. If you don't have any skills, you will appear to be living at the bottom.
Chen Ping understands this deeply.
Beipiao, Shangdiao and Guangdiao.
Guo Zizhao and Lin Changshou's so-called return to their old business was to go out of the city to hunt animals. Not only did they hunt animals, they also learned to collect herbs.
There are many alchemy monks in large sects, and the demand for medicinal materials is large.
As long as you are willing to take risks, there are still benefits.
"By the way, we both have our own Taoist companions, but we came out secretly today and didn't mention it to them." Guo Zizhao grinned.
"That's a good thing. I'll be a guest at your house the next day." Chen Ping smiled, then paused and added:
"But don't mention the past things between you and me to them, so as not to cause any problems.
leak. "
"I know, brother." Guo Zizhao promised.
"Brother, what about you? Not long after we left the territory, we heard that something happened in the Qingyun Territory. At that time, we were still in the Xiuxian City south of the Tianyan Territory, which was not too far from the Qingyun Territory. We had some thoughts at first. There is no way, but later I heard that the monks in the early and middle stages of Nascent Soul are powerless, which is not something we can figure out. So what exactly happened in Qingyun Domain, are the eldest brother and wife in law okay these years?" Lin Changshou, who rarely talked, asked.
Lin Changshou was actually not a man of few words, but when he was with Guo Zizhao, Guo Zizhao did most of the talking. In comparison, Lin Changshou is not as slippery as Guo Zizhao.
Chen Ping did not elaborate:
"It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly in the future."
"I came to you two this time for some important matters. You two have been in Tianyan City for many years, have you ever heard of Fairy Xiyue? Do you know anything about her?"
Bringing the two together is not just to reminisce about old times.
Tianyan City is not far from Tianyan Sect. The two of them have been here for many years, and they should have heard some information about Fairy Xiyue.
Instead of going out to inquire aimlessly about a Nascent Soul Lord, it would be safer to ask an acquaintance.
"Fairy Xiyue?" Guo Zizhao paused: "Brother, are you talking about Fairy Xiyue from Tianyan Sect?"
Seeing Chen Ping nod, Guo Zizhao smiled and said:
"I have heard many times that the streets of Tianyan City are full of powerful anecdotes about several powerful people from Tianyan Sect. In the past, Fairy Xiyue even occasionally came to Tianyan Territory to drink. It is said that she is very fond of wine. But in the past four or five years, I haven’t heard of her coming in years.”
"Extremely addicted to alcohol?" Chen Ping thought of the countless pubs he saw when he went out two days ago.
There are even quite a few breweries.
"Yes, it is said to be like this." Guo Zizhao said.
"I've heard a lot about this." Lin Changshou took up the topic:
"Brother, have you ever gone out? There are many taverns in Tianyan City. It is said that they were opened because of Fairy Xiyue's hobby. There is a street in the east of the city where they all make wine. Those wine shops all have their own interests and want to make wine. Make the delicious wine that Fairy Xiyue likes the most."
I see.
No wonder there are so many taverns on the streets of Tianyan Domain.
This makes perfect sense.
Fairy Xiyue is addicted to alcohol, and this information is known to almost everyone in Tianyan City.
Many monks who want to follow their favorites will bring the most beautiful wine from all over the world to Tianyan Sect, and even open their own winery here to learn how to make wine.
Although it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, in case this process can allow him to get a chance from the Great True Monarch Nascent Soul. Then all the efforts in the past are worth it.
Chen Ping could understand this. Wei Xun could ask Fairy Xiyue to help him set up a mountain-protecting formation. This was Wei Xun's opportunity, and it was extremely valuable.
"What a pity. It is said that Fairy Xiyue has not appeared here for more than two years." Lin Changshou was full of envy for such an opportunity.
"Have you heard why?" Chen Ping asked whenever he had doubts, with the purpose of learning as much as possible.
Lin Changshou shrugged:
"The wine that Fairy Xiyue drank was not ordinary wine. It is said that many years ago, she often came to a tavern to drink. There was Fairy Xiyue's favorite wine there. But then the old winemaker died, and no one could brew that wine again. A wine with a different taste. Then countless people imitated the brewing of that kind of wine. Fairy Xiyue would occasionally come to take advantage of the excitement, but she would always return disappointed. No one could brew the taste of that kind of wine. Slowly Xiyue Fairies come less and less."
"..."
On that day brewing street in the east of the city, all the winery owners have the top goal of brewing wine with that kind of taste.
Chen Ping continued to listen to him chatting for a while about Fairy Xiyue, and also inquired about the situation of Tianyan Sect's other Nascent Soul, the head of Tianyan Sect.
I learned more or less anecdotes about them.
But not much.
Guo Zizhao and Guo Zizhao didn't pay too much attention to these things in the past. They just listened to them as a kind of after-dinner entertainment.
After all, Nascent Soul is too far away from them.
「
You guys have been helping me collect some information about these two Nascent Soul Lords during this time. Any kind of information will do, the more detailed the better. "At the end of the conversation, Chen Ping said.
Seeing their nervous expressions, he smiled:
"Don't worry, I'm just asking for something from them. I'm not plotting against them. I don't want to die yet."
I want to ask Yuanying for help.
At least understand their needs first.
Chen Ping has a very clear understanding of himself. He is just an inconspicuous and low-level immortal cultivator. His cultivation level is not good, his assets are not abundant, and his qualifications are not good.
Why should Monk Nascent Soul help you with such a monk?
No reason.
Only transactions.
In order to trade, it is natural to understand Yuanying's needs, and if they cannot solve the problem themselves, the risk cannot exceed Chen Ping's tolerance.
Such conditions are hard to find.
But with patience, there may be a turnaround.
"Okay, big brother. When do you want it?" Guo Zizhao agreed, even a little excited.
"Don't be in a hurry, just take your time. However, although this matter does not need to be kept secret, remember not to make it public. Just collect anecdotes scattered in the public. Do not try to find out their privacy. Do you understand?" After thinking about it, Although the two acted seasonedly, Chen Ping still had to give a warning.
If Nascent Soul is angered, even ten lives will not be enough to kill him.
If someone catches their attention and people suspect that they are plotting against Nascent Soul, they will die without a burial.
Fortunately, this place is close to Tianyan Sect, and there is a lot of news about them in the public. And according to the descriptions of Guo Zizhao and the two, especially Fairy Xiyue, they don't seem to care about what they say, and they even used to come to Tianyan City often.
"Brother, don't worry. Even without my warning, we will not act rashly. With one Nascent Soul technique, we will be riddled with holes. How can we dare?" Guo Zizhao said with a bitter smile.
Lin Changshou also echoed.
At the end, Chen Ping left the addresses of Lin Changshou and Guo Zizhao so that he could find them easily in the future.
The two then left.
…
After Chen Ping waited for Guo Zizhao and Guo Zizhao to leave, he said something to Yu Lingchun and went out again.
This time, he went directly to the wine shop alley - Zuixian Alley.
The alley is not very wide, deep and narrow, and lies in a secluded corner in the shape of a slope.
Walking among them, the aroma of wine is intoxicating.
Dozens of breweries, large and small, are scattered throughout the long alley. The name of the brewery is mentioned on the plaque of each house, and a red lantern with a built-in spark stone hangs in front of the door.
Chen Ping walked out of the alley and sat down in a tavern at the entrance. He understood one thing these days. This place was different from the previous Yunzhong City.
The best source of information about Yunzhong City is Fugui Tower.
And here is the winery.
He bought a jug of wine and sat there without speaking. As long as he had enough patience, he could hear a lot of news.
Sometimes it was about the distribution of forces in the city, some were about the romance between which monk and which monk got together, and some were about the trends and competitions of Tianyan Sect.
"..."
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Ling, sit here, sit here? What? You're not making wine in the winery today, but you came to the tavern instead?" A middle-aged foundation-building monk sitting in the hall saw a pale man coming to the door. The bearded man immediately waved his hand, obviously he was an old friend.
The bearded man walked over and sat down:
"No matter what kind of wine I make, I will never make wine again. Damn it, after three years of brewing, I still can't make the drunken fairy flower that Fairy Xiyue likes to drink. Alas."
The middle-aged Zhu Ji poured wine for the bearded man:
"What does it mean that it's only been three years? Then Taoist Song, you have been brewing for ten years and you are still persisting. Hehe, if you stop brewing, you don't want to repair your foundation?"
The middle-aged foundation builder knew that the reason why his old friend learned to brew wine was to brew a pot of Drunken Fairy Flower in exchange for Nascent Soul's help to repair his damaged foundation.
"I won't make wine anymore. Hey, I don't have that life. I'll leave the winery in two days."
. This foundation... I'm afraid it will be like this in this life. Hey, it's all fate. "The bearded man took a few gulps of wine and felt helpless.
He chirped a few times and cursed:
"Mom, come to the wine shop and have a drink, and you can even drink wine brewed in your own winery."
The middle-aged Zhuji smiled and said:
"It proves that Ling Daoyou's wine shop produces good wine. That's right, Daoyou's family is a wine-making family, and you are very talented. Why don't you insist on this condition of Ling Daoyou?"
"Hey, you don't know how difficult it is to brew the Drunken Fairy Flower." The bearded man smacked his lips.
"..."
The conversation between the two gradually shifted to the topic that Chen Ping was interested in. Chen Ping immediately pricked up his ears and listened silently.
Over the past hundred years, wine has formed a culture in Tianyan City.
But since the old winemaker died, no one has been able to make Drunken Flowers again. Not only the later generations, but the original winery can no longer do it.
The formula and craftsmanship of Drunken Fairy Flower were gradually made public.
But still no one can brew that taste.
But now, in Zuixian Alley, the first target of all wine shops is still Zuixianhua without exception.
Countless monks with dreams are rushing forward, some join with enthusiasm, and some quit with frustration, constantly updating and iterating.
Just like a big man with a gray beard.
The middle-aged Zhu Ji and the bearded man sat for a while and then left, but maybe because this tavern was very close to Zuixian Lane, the conversation topic among the drinkers never left Zuixianhua.
As Chen Ping waited patiently, he heard more and more information.
In fact, Fairy Xiyue has never promised that anyone who can brew the Drunken Fairy Flower will satisfy one of her conditions.
Brewing is what these monks do on their own.
Even the name of the wine "Drunken Fairy Flower" was chosen by the latecomers. It was said that it was a wine that could make Fairy Xiyue intoxicated, so naturally she became drunk. The wine that the old winemaker brewed back then was actually nameless.
But one thing is for sure:
Fairy Xiyue really misses Zuixianhua.
"..."
"Then why does Xiyue Zhenjun like the Drunken Immortal Flower so much? What's so special about this wine?" One of the monks among the drinkers asked another monk sitting at the same table.
"The wine that can make Fairy Xiyue intoxicated, fellow Taoist, can you tell me whether it is unique or not?"
"That's not necessarily true. I just heard that the old winemaker was Fairy Xiyue's favorite person. It's just that their cultivation levels were too far apart, so they had to be separated by a line. But Fairy Xiyue naturally loved the wine brewed by that winemaker. Drink, this is called feelings, do you understand?" One person lowered his voice to a very low level.
"Nonsense, that winemaker is just a sloppy old man. I heard that Fairy Xiyue once had a Taoist companion, and that kind of wine was their favorite drink when they traveled around the world. After that Taoist couple passed away, Fairy Xiyue must have It’s just drinking and missing people.”
"Fellow Taoist, don't talk nonsense. How can Fairy Xiyue have someone she likes? Fairy Xiyue practices the ruthless sword. She has cut off the relationship between men and women long ago. How can she be emotional?"
"What a ruthless sword? Don't talk nonsense. Hey, don't mention these things. Although Fairy Xiyue casually doesn't care about these things, talking about seniors like us behind our back is not a glorious thing after all."
"Yes, yes, don't say it, don't say it. Drink, drink."
"By the way, what does Fairy Xiyue look like? I just came here not long ago and I have never seen her before."
"This..."
"..."
Chen Pingyuan originally wanted to inquire more, but the topics they talked about became more and more outrageous, and they even commented on Fairy Xiyue's appearance.
Chen Ping quickly evacuated.
If this was listened to, Nascent Soul's wrath would be triggered, and the entire wine shop would be razed to the ground.
We must not be implicated by these talkative guys.
On the way back to the inn, Chen Ping was thoughtful about wine making.
He holds a token from Wei Xun and has the opportunity to meet Fairy Xiyue.
But why would Yuanying help?
This wine may be a breakthrough.
Chen Ping was not sure whether Drunken Fairy Flower could be exchanged for Fairy Xiyue's treatment of Yu Lingchun, but it was at least worth a try, and at least it was something Fairy Xiyue couldn't ask for.
There is no harm in taking a step back.
There is no danger.
Just making wine.
'Change to a wine shop and ask around to see where you can get the Drunken Fairy Flower recipe and see if you can enter the proficiency panel. ,
'As long as I can get into the panel, everything is no problem. ,
'And according to past experience, this type of skill that does not involve spiritual power usually results in quick recovery. ,
When I first awakened from the panel, it only took three days to become proficient in the anatomy technique.
This is an example.
You can try it.
