More than fifty days flew by.
In Jiannanchun Wine Shop.
Chen Ping picked up the newly brewed spirit wine.
The wine is wild white and pure, with no trace of impurities visible. It is as bright as a flying mirror facing Danque.
Just by picking it up, there is a wisp of fragrance wafting out. It is not that rich fragrance, but a light and mellow fragrance, which is refreshing.
Chen Ping took a gentle sip. The jade liquid was sweet in the mouth, with lingering fragrance, leaving a fragrant aroma on the teeth and cheeks, making people have endless aftertaste.
nice.
Fairy Xiyue is a girl who knows how to enjoy herself.
I thought she was an alcoholic.
Where is this wine?
It is nectar and jade liquid.
Over the past few months, Chen Ping has mastered the art of winemaking to "Proficient: 1/1000". At this level, this unknown wine has become extremely attractive.
This will only taste better when it comes to "experts" and "grandmasters".
Of course, even at the "proficient" level, it is already the best in the current market.
There are few who can surpass him.
This wine is not far from the threshold of becoming an "unknown wine".
Maybe soon.
"Xiao Hong, take it out and water the spiritual plants for Madam." Chen Ping handed the wine to Xiao Hong.
Over the past few months, when Yu Lingchun was cultivating spiritual plants, she unexpectedly discovered that this kind of wine actually had a certain effect on the cultivation of spiritual plants.
Chen Ping knew that the effect of wine was only after it was close to "mastery". Previous wines had no such value.
So I simply used it to water the spiritual plants.
It can be regarded as making the best use of everything.
To him, this is still a fake wine. It is not a real nameless wine. It is just good to drink, but it has not improved the physical condition. It has not reached the taste of Fairy Xiyue. It cannot be regarded as a drunken fairy flower. He Naturally, I won’t drink it myself.
If you want to drink, you must drink the last real wine.
"Yes, head of the family." Xiao Hong came over immediately.
"Do you have any questions to ask?"
"No, Patriarch, there is no doubt." Xiaohong said solemnly.
Haha, it works.
It seems that Xiaohong understands the meaning of the scripture.
He has always liked to persuade others with his virtue.
Chen Ping walked out of the Jiannanchun wine shop and stretched his muscles. He saw fellow Taoist fellow Taoist Ling, the neighbor across the street, standing in front of his own wine shop. He looked at the spiritual locust tree and snorted with a black face, while another Taoist friend left jokingly.
"Fellow Daoist Ling, what's going on?" Chen Ping walked over and asked with a smile.
Brother Ling's face was dark and he kept snorting:
"Huh, what do they know? Huh..., this is called, huh."
Seeing that he couldn't think of a good word after humming for a long time, Chen Ping smiled and said:
"This is called: How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?"
Hearing these words, Brother Ling's eyes widened, as if he suddenly became enlightened. This time the words fit his state of mind so well:
"Yes, yes, what Fellow Daoist Chen said is true. This is what this monk means."
Brother Ling's eyes flashed.
Huh, those monks only tasted it briefly and gave up after one or two years of making wine, but they still had the nerve to laugh at him.
What if a locust tree grows up? At worst, plant another tree.
Chen Ping raised his eyebrows and smiled:
"Do you, Fellow Daoist Ling, want to say: Thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river, don't bully young people into poverty."
Brother Ling suddenly felt short of breath.
exactly.
This sentence is so true.
Fellow Daoist Chen understands me.
This sentence was what he had always wanted to express but could not get it due to lack of words.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, this is very true." Brother Ling said excitedly.
He felt that Chen Ping was his soulmate.
At this time Shen Jiudi came out, Brother Ling stopped his smile, snorted and went back to the house.
"What's going on, Fellow Daoist Ling?" Shen Jiudi asked Chen Ping. Looking at Brother Ling
figure, feeling baffled as to whether he had offended him.
"Maybe you've gained enlightenment, right?" Chen Ping said calmly.
Enlightenment?
Shen Jiudi's mouth twitched a few times, but he always felt that there was a bit of pride in Brother Ling's expression.
Shen Jiudi withdrew his gaze and said with a smile:
"It's been half a year since Daoyou Chen's Jiannanchun Winery opened, but I rarely see Daoyou Chen come out. How's it going? Has Drunken Fairy Flower got any clues?"
In the past six months, there have been some exchange receptions among colleagues from time to time. Shen Jiudi attended every time, but he had never seen Chen Ping.
But every monk has his own style of doing things. Although he was very dissatisfied with Chen Ping's work behind closed doors, he didn't say anything.
"I have just barely gotten into the art of brewing. There are so many things to practice and not enough time, so I rarely go out," said Chen Ping.
"That's right. This Drunken Immortal Flower is no better than ordinary wine. It has many mysteries. Just talking about the technique is not easy to practice. I have been practicing for almost three years and I still feel that I have not mastered the most difficult method. Harm, Fellow Daoist Chen does not need to Don't worry, it's only been half a year, take your time. Although we often make fun of Fellow Daoist Ling, it's that perseverance that we need to admire." Under Shen Jiudi's relaxed tone, there was a hint of helplessness.
"That's true. Nothing can be accomplished overnight? It all requires persistence over time." Chen Ping said with a smile.
Having said that, he really didn't spend much energy on wine making.
It was easy to get in.
The journey was smooth.
During this period, even his cultivation level did not fall too far.
"Yes." Shen Jiudi said. After hesitating for a moment, he asked again:
"Young Daoist Chen are also here for the Taoist companions, right?"
Seeing that Chen Ping did not deny it, Shen Jiudi sighed inwardly:
"To be honest with you fellow Taoist, I am too."
"My path is limited, and I know that my qualifications are not good enough. It is impossible to build the elixir. It is a blessing to be able to enter the foundation building. My only hope in this life is to finish this life hand in hand with my Taoist companions. I never thought... That's all, no Just mention it.”
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you have to have expectations. This road is not going to be easy."
"..."
Chen Ping couldn't answer this. He knew that Shen Jiudi's wife seemed to be in a very bad condition. Although he didn't know what her hidden illness was, it was indeed a difficult road to take.
Of course, walking is difficult for others.
For him, it was an easy move.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Chen Ping changed the topic and said:
"By the way, in the formula and craftsmanship of Drunk Immortal Flower, it is mentioned that fresh high-grade spiritual materials are more effective. But why are there so few high-grade spiritual materials in Tianyan City today? Has Fellow Daoist Shen ever purchased high-grade spiritual materials?"
Hearing this, the gloominess in Shen Jiudi's eyes faded a bit and he smiled:
"Fresh high-grade spiritual materials? Nowadays, all winemakers are in the exploratory stage. Who dares to try high-grade spiritual materials. In a few years, it will be a loss. Not to mention fresh high-grade spiritual materials, even if they are high-grade spiritual materials, There is no need to use dry materials. Once you get into the door, it will not be too late to replace them with fresh, high-grade spiritual materials."
"Does Fellow Daoist Shen have special channels for purchasing spiritual materials?" Chen Ping asked.
"Hai, there is no need for any special channels. There are many herbalists in the city. When the day comes, you only need to issue a task and there will be a herbalist willing to pick it. The Tianyan Territory is vast and sparsely populated. There are endless wild forests to the west of the Tianyan Territory, so there is no need to worry about high-grade spiritual materials." Shen Jiudi said, feeling a little funny in his heart that Chen Ping was so ambitious that he couldn't even walk, so he just wanted to run.
Chen Ping was a little disappointed when he heard this.
I originally wanted to inquire through Shen Jiudi if there were other purchasing channels for high-grade spiritual materials.
It seems not.
In the past six months, we have been able to find 1-5 plants of the seven top-grade spiritual materials every month, and we have gradually accumulated some.
Only Mu Helian, only one plant has been obtained in half a year. It is said that a monk from the outside world brought it over from the outside world.
According to the current progress, winemaking can reach the master level in at most half a year. Once you get to this level, you can officially brew the nameless wine.
That is, there is still half a year left.
But Mu Helian's progress is not going well, and the last time I heard from the shopkeeper, there is a family that is looking for medicine recently, diverting some herbalists.
The future may not be optimistic either.
This mission is to make a deal with Yuanying. He is not going to cut corners and hopes to use the best materials.
Chen Ping and Shen Jiudi chatted for a while, then returned to the quiet room. After weighing the pros and cons, they decided to go out of the city to find Mu Helian.
After Yun-Wingniao entered the Grandmaster level, there was an additional spiritual material mark quota.
Can be used to find Mulholly.
On the way to Tianyan City that day, I saw the appearance of high-grade muhelian, indicating that there is ecology there, maybe it is too few and difficult to find.
Having decided, Chen Ping immediately took out the cloud-winged bird and marked Mu Helian.
Cloud-winged Bird's beast control skills are universal, and there is no need to brush up on proficiency. You only need to make Cloud-winged Bird a little familiar with Mu Helian.
In two hours, all the procedures were completed.
Early the next morning, after Chen Ping checked the integrity of several formations at the Jiannanchun Winery, he went out and went to the legal uniform shop first, took out the custom-made Tiangang Lei, and put it on immediately. This kind of spiritual boots can increase his teleportation speed by a level, making him safer when going out.
Then he quietly walked out of Tianyan City, and Yu Jian quickly flew into the forest.
I still remember that I saw the team of herbalists on the eighth day. The place was estimated to be about 30,000 miles away from Tianyan City.
When he first came to Tianyan Territory, Chen Ping tried his best to avoid human tracks and walk through dense forests.
The same is true today.
After hundreds of miles out of the city, no one could be seen anymore. Because he was traveling alone, Chen Ping's speed with his sword was much faster than when he first arrived. By the time he landed at night to rest on the first day, he had already walked more than 7,500 miles.
In the evening of the fourth day, Chen Ping had arrived near his destination.
He was not in a hurry. He first found a safe place, opened a cave, arranged the formation, and released the Nine Nether Colorful Cicadas. Then he gathered his breath and went into the cave to rest to avoid the unknown dangers at night.
Although this is the Tianyan Territory, close to the western edge and further to the west are endless wild forests. Monsters, evil spirits, etc. are countless times more dangerous than the Tianyan Territory under the jurisdiction of the sect.
It's okay to pass by, but be careful when staying.
After daybreak, the cloud-winged birds were released and began to look for the muhelian.
Half a day passed, but Mu Helian was not found, but some fresh monster excrement was seen.
I don’t know what kind of monster it is.
Chen Ping told himself to be careful.
After another half day, I saw some traces left by the monks who had passed by. I guessed that the traces were only in the past few days.
Tianyan Sect's alchemy refining is popular, and the demand for medicinal herbs is great. This place is close to the wild forest on the west side and has abundant spiritual materials. It is normal for monks to go deep here to search for medicines from time to time.
Just avoid it carefully.
Three days later, still nothing.
But Chen Ping was not in a hurry. The forest area here was too large. Although the Cloud-winged Bird had reached its peak, its sensing distance was still limited.
Searching for medicine requires patience, which he expected.
Just take your time.
…
At the same time, five hundred miles away.
The three herbalists were carefully looking for spiritual materials.
"Second sister, you can't go further west. It's close to the wild forest. You may not be able to get out if you go in." A young monk said.
The second sister is a capable female cultivator, wearing a robe and a heroic figure, with a heroic look on her face.
She raised her head and glanced to the west:
"Okay, just for this area, don't go to the west anymore, and slowly look to the east."
"It's really hard to find this top-grade Vitiligo orchid. It's been out for more than 20 days and I haven't found a single one. So what exactly does Mr. Fan want to use this kind of spiritual material for?" the young monk complained.
"Don't mind your employer's business. We just need to find this kind of spiritual material."
, this is the rule of the herbalist. If this deal can be completed, the reward will be generous, and we will be worry-free for a year. "The second sister said expressionlessly.
The young monk suddenly thought of something, his eyes squinted, and he approached the second sister with small steps.
Grinning:
"Second sister, during the more than 20 days since I came out, I have met two teams of herbalists, right? The Tianyan Sect can't control this barren mountain."
"In my opinion, it's better than robbery."
"The three of us are all in the late stage of foundation building and are not weak in strength. We can specifically select 1-2 lone herbalists to start with. As long as we are lucky, isn't it faster than gathering herbs?"
"Shut up." The second sister's face turned cold and she scolded sternly:
"Remember, my family asked you to come out with me this time just to make you calm down with me. The family has high hopes for you. How can you live up to the expectations of your elders if you are so rough?"
"Those herbalists dare to enter the endless forest tens of thousands of miles away. Do you think they have no means? Let you slaughter them? Don't be murderous at every turn. We are herbalists, not tribulation cultivators."
"Yes, Second Sister." The young monk was scolded and did not dare to speak anymore, but he was a little unconvinced.
This second sister is too timid.
…
Chen Ping carefully searched for the medicine and relied on the cloud-winged bird to gradually scan the dense forest.
On the fourth day, there was no result, but I unexpectedly encountered a kind of Zhuhong fruit.
A big tree, at least more than 100 trees.
This fruit has little value to monks, but it is the favorite spiritual fruit of many fish and spiritual beasts.
It can improve the quality of fish spirit beasts.
Chen Ping doesn't have such a spiritual beast, but he can sell spiritual stones. He took all the Zhuhong fruits as his own. After thinking about it, I pulled off another branch to see if I could cultivate it after taking it back.
The fifth day was fruitless.
On the sixth day, while searching in the forest, the cloud-winged bird finally made a strange movement, suddenly spread its wings and dived to one side.
Chen Ping was shocked and followed decisively.
After galloping for more than ten miles, the Cloud-winged Bird stopped in front of a huge ancient tree, and so did Chen Ping.
The big tree was at least twenty people strong, and its leaves and branches covered the sky and the sun. The tree trunks were covered with green moss and vines.
There is a clear spring under the tree, and living water is constantly emerging from the bottom of the boulder.
But in the clear spring, Mu Helian was not seen.
Following the cloud-winged bird's head, we saw a crack several feet long and several feet wide on the trunk of the ancient tree, which was also covered with moss.
Inside the crack, there was actually a large tree hole, with a clear puddle at the bottom of the tree hole flowing slowly.
There is actually a different world.
And above the puddle in the tree hole, a lotus-shaped plant lay quietly on the water, swaying slightly with the water.
…High quality Mulholly.
Chen Ping was immediately happy.
After searching for so many days, I finally saw the top-grade Mu Helian.
Although it is only one plant, it means that the direction you are looking for is not wrong.
This area indeed has the growth ecology of Mulholly.
Chen Ping reached out and gently held up the Mulholly, which is a plant similar to a lotus, with leaves floating on the water and roots extending into the clear water.
On the leaves, the outermost circle is in the shape of a dead leaf, with light brown lines extending inwards, extending out beautiful lines of dead leaves, and the longest line even goes straight to the stem.
Chen Ping became more and more surprised as he watched.
According to the quality level of Mulholland that he had seen in the book before.
I'm afraid this is not just an ordinary top grade.
But the best of the best.
Such good quality means that the ecology is by no means simple, and there may be others around.
But at this moment, a hissing and snorting sound came from above the cave.
Along with the sound of snoring, the coercion started to reappear and spread in circles.
Chen Ping was so shocked that he didn't dare to move easily for a while, even holding Mu Helian's hand in his hand
The movements stopped. Feeling pressure, he raised his head slightly.
above.
An eight-pointed deer monster that was only two or three feet in size stood above the tree hole, snoring and staring angrily at Chen Ping below.
Spirit guardian beast?
