Return to Tianyan City.
Chen Ping did not go back to the wine shop directly. Instead, he went to the legal robe shop first and ordered a third-level low-grade robe.
The journey of collecting herbs made Chen Ping realize the value of Tiangang boots, which were also of the third-order low-grade.
In the process of evading the pursuit of the eight-pointed deer, the Tiangang boots played an immeasurable value.
It is necessary to get yourself another high-level robe.
The third-level robe is also scheduled for five months. After completing all the procedures, Chen Ping turned around and returned to Jiannanchun Winery.
In the bedroom.
After Chen Ping closed the door, he first refined the herbalist's storage bag.
Cleaned up the finances inside.
[1 storage bag, 3 high-grade spiritual stones, 398 medium-grade spiritual stones, 668 low-grade spiritual stones, 1 walking rocker, 2 jade slips, and 1 jade pendant. A few elixirs and talismans, and a bunch of other items. 】
The storage bag is 6 square meters, which is not bad.
There is a walking stick inside, and it can be seen that this storage bag belongs to the second sister.
The so-called step is shaken, there are hanging beads on it, and the step is shaken.
Women usually insert it on the side of their temples for decoration and also to fix the bun.
The two jade slips are the secrets of this herb-picking family. One of them marks the distribution of high-end spiritual materials in the Tianyan Domain and part of the wild forest to the west.
The other book records some knowledge on the cultivation of spiritual materials and is full of notes. Not only high-end spiritual materials, but also common spiritual materials such as Butterfly Soul Evening Primrose are cultivated. Chen Ping couldn't help but think of those Butterfly Soul Evening Primroses by the stream.
They are all good books.
That jade pendant is a spirit-gathering jade pendant. This is not a legal weapon, it has no grade, it is made of natural spirit-gathering jade.
This kind of jade pendant is usually very rare.
It is a good product that can only be found but cannot be found.
Chen Ping immediately put it on, inside the robe to ensure it was not exposed.
Immediately after sitting down and running the technique, I found that the spirit-gathering effect was very good. If I had to make a comparison, its spirit-gathering effect was even better than the second-level high-grade magic weapon.
More importantly, this jade pendant has the effect of screening spiritual energy. The spiritual energy gathered through this jade pendant is very mellow, and the spiritual energy flows very softly.
It is more beneficial for monks to use it.
'nice one! ,
Chen Ping couldn't put it down.
This is probably the most valuable item to him among these belongings.
The current aura of Jiannanchun Winery is not very good, but with this jade pendant, it can just make up for it.
Chen Ping packed these belongings into categories and sorted out the income in the spirit plant bag.
Then he went out of the bedroom and handed over the Zhu Hongguo and six top-grade Muhelium to Yu Lingchun. The Muhelium needed to be planted, while the Zhu Hongguo could be dried first and sold later.
There were a few of the six top-grade muholliens.
But it's barely enough.
And maybe the medicine shop can help find some, and it will take more than half a year.
As for the octagonal deer in the spirit beast bag, I am not planning to let it out for the time being. It is enough to treat it occasionally. The best way is to keep it weak.
I'll look for an opportunity later to see if I can tame it into a spiritual beast.
If they cannot be tamed, they will be killed and sold for meat.
However, I need to buy a few spirit beast bags.
Nowadays, neither the Cloud-winged Bird nor the Nine Nether Colorful Cicada have their own spirit beast bags, which is somewhat inconvenient.
After explaining it to Yu Lingchun, Chen Ping once again devoted himself to winemaking.
This trip took more than twenty days, and he had to get involved as soon as possible to make up for this lost time.
Two and a half months later.
Chen Ping's unnamed wine brewing technique has reached 'expert: 1/1000,.
In terms of quality, the expert-level wine has far surpassed the drunken fairy flower brewed by the old winemaker. In other words, this wine has already
The requirements of Fairy Xiyue were met.
But Chen Ping decided to continue brushing.
Let’s talk about it later to the Grandmaster.
He was not sure whether Fairy Xiyue simply liked the taste of the wine, or whether she knew the story behind the wine.
If it is the former, then you can trade now.
But this is not a good thing. If it is just the taste that attracts her, it may not be possible to exchange this wine for her.
Chen Ping hopes it is the latter.
In this way, as long as the liver continues, the weight of the wine will be large enough, and the implementation of equivalent exchange will be more feasible.
Of course, that's it.
Chen Ping is buying this wine now not only to save Yu Lingchun, but also to him personally, this wine is also very precious to him. Even if it can only improve a certain aspect of his physique, it is worth it to him.
You have to at least give it a try.
A few days later, while we were brewing wine behind closed doors, fellow Taoist Ling suddenly came to visit us. He didn’t look very good.
"Fellow Daoist Ling, come in and sit down." He went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Chen Ping looked at him as if he had something important to do.
Brother Ling shook his head:
"Hey, I won't sit down anymore. Well, Fellow Daoist Shen's Taoist companion has passed away. Hey, Fellow Daoist Chen should also go and see him off. Seeing that Fellow Daoist Chen has not opened the door, I came here to say something to Fellow Daoist Chen."
Hearing this, Chen Ping was suddenly startled.
He actually died.
The Taoist monk who had met Shen Jiudi a few months ago looked very young, although his face was very ugly.
I never thought that in just a few months, we would be separated from each other.
Chen Ping said lightly:
"When did this happen?"
"Just two hours ago, I just went to Daoist Fellow Shen's house for a visit, and I saw Fellow Daoist Shen holding the body of his Taoist companion, kneeling in the yard. After asking, I found out that he had been dead for two hours." Ling The monk sighed.
"Let's go take a look together." Chen Ping went out.
The door of Shen Jiudi's Fengquan Winery was ajar, Chen Ping entered the house, and Brother Ling continued to inform other neighbors.
There are already some helpful neighbors in Fengquan Winery, including servants. One or two were comforting the absent-minded Shen Jiudi, while other monks began to hang mourning flags and white gauze in the yard.
The atmosphere in the entire wine shop was sad.
No one had much to say. Most of the winemakers stationed in Zuixian Lane have their own stories behind them. This kind of scene is the most touching.
Today it is Shen Jiudi, tomorrow it may be Shen Badi, and the day after tomorrow it may be Shen Qidi's turn.
After a while, more and more neighbors came. From these Taoist friends, Chen Ping also learned about the situation of Taoist monk Shen Jiudi.
It turned out that Shen Jiudi and his Taoist companion were both foundation-building monks. When she was traveling abroad more than ten years ago, her Taoist companion was recruited to assassinate her and he was poisoned by a heretical soft fairy poison.
Although lives were saved afterwards, the root cause of the disease was also left.
It happens every two years, and every time it happens, life is at stake.
But this time, I didn't make it through.
"Friend Daoist Shen, my condolences and my kindness." Chen Ping walked over and comforted him.
Shen Jiudi turned a deaf ear to Chen Ping's words. He just knelt on the ground blankly and murmured to himself:
"Why did you just leave?"
"Why did you just leave?"
"Didn't we make an agreement? When my husband and I find the art of brewing wine, you and I will travel around the world together. Why did you leave first?"
"My husband can definitely brew the Drunken Fairy Flower, why don't you wait for me?"
"Friend Daoist Shen," a neighbor called him.
"Why did you just leave?"
"Why did you just leave?"
"..."
Shen Jiudi is immersed in his own world.
Chen Ping did not disturb him. In this case, any comfort was unnecessary.
What Shen Jiudi needs is time.
Chen Ping worked at Fengquan Winery for a long time until he came to
After the couple turned into immortals, everyone slowly dispersed.
night.
After having an in-depth exchange with Yu Lingchun for a while, I have to say that this girl is becoming more and more intelligent.
Completely made with water.
"You Taoist Fellow (Taoist Master Shen Jiudi) is very pitiful. I have talked with her and she has actually been in pain all these years, but she didn't want to worry Taoist Shen, so she didn't say anything." Yu Lingchun lay in Chen Ping's arms.
Chen Ping hugged her:
"It can be considered a relief."
"But you don't need to worry. Once the wine is brewed successfully, I will go find Fairy Xiyue."
In the past few months, Drunken Fairy Flower has begun to take shape, and Yu Lingchun knows it.
She originally had no hope for this, but just like You Daoyou, she followed Chen Ping here with the mentality of obeying her husband.
Even pretending to be strong and smiling all the time.
But after more than half a year, she found that her husband was so powerful that he silently explored the Drunken Fairy Flower.
The smile on her face turned into a genuine smile.
Will Fairy Xiyue be willing to help? She doesn't know anymore. What she knows is that she and her husband have made their best efforts.
I have been very happy for the past six months.
That's enough.
"Yes. By the way, those spiritual plants have been fed, but the quality is not easy to improve. Only one or two spiritual plants have improved a little bit. This is thanks to the spiritual wine." Yu Lingchun hummed.
Chen Ping hummed:
"Let's keep it for now. It doesn't matter whether it improves the quality or not. It just needs to be maintained and not degraded. According to the current progress, it will be used in a few months."
Yu Lingchun agreed and said:
"Among the three maids, Xiao Cui has the best talent in cultivating spiritual plants. I think she is pretty good. I will teach her more spiritual plant cultivation techniques during this period. In the future, maybe she can also help."
Chen Ping smiled and said nothing.
In her heart, this girl still doesn't believe that Xi Yue is willing to take action.
…
Three days later.
Chen Ping went to Guo Zizhao's place. In the past few months, the two of them had been selling their magic weapons in an orderly manner, and now they have sold out all the first-level magic weapons and robes.
Chen Ping took thirty second-level magic weapons and handed them over to them, and took back the proceeds from the previous sales.
Second-level magic weapons will be much more expensive, relatively speaking, they will be sold much slower, and the risk is relatively high, so they are suitable for small quantities and multiple times.
The two of them were curious about how Chen Ping had so many magical artifacts that he could open a magical artifact shop.
But I just thought about it in my mind and didn't ask any more questions.
When Chen Ping returned to Zuixian Lane, he accidentally saw a series of eye-catching characters carved on the pole of Brother Ling's tree -
——Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Don’t bully young people into poverty.
Chen Ping grinned.
It seemed as if he saw Brother Ling standing on the street, facing a group of monks who were making fun of him, blushing, and finally shouted out this heroic declaration angrily.
I have to tell fellow Taoist Ling next time and never say that I taught him.
It's so shameful for this to spread.
Returning to Jiannanchun Winery, Chen Ping once again devoted himself to winemaking and couldn't help himself.
Time passes day by day.
Another day, Chen Ping went out of the winery to get some fresh air as a habit, but he was surprised to see that the signboard of Fengquan Winery had been broken into two halves, with one half hanging crookedly above the door, and the other half falling to the ground, with no one to clean it up. .
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment.
Did Shen Jiudi move away?
He went up and knocked on the door, but sure enough he didn't get a response. That's right, Shen Jiudi himself made wine for Taoist companions. Now that the Taoist companions are gone, what else can he make?
None of the people in Zuixianfang knew the story behind the nameless wine.
Perhaps alerted by Chen Ping's knock on the door, the neighbor's pretty widow and fellow Taoist Ling both came out.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, please stop knocking." Fellow Daoist Ling sighed: "That was done by Daoist Shen himself."
Damn it, he's probably not in the wine shop right now. "
"Fellow Daoist Shen has moved away?" Chen Ping asked.
Shen Jiudi is probably complaining about this wine-making process.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t have moved it and smashed the signboard.
"I haven't moved away. But..." Brother Ling said with regret on his face: "Young Daoist Chen rarely goes out, maybe you don't know something. If you go out often, you can often see Fellow Daoist Shen on the streets outside, especially in taverns. Fellow Daoist Shen is considered I lost my heart and often slept in taverns. I don’t often go back to this tavern anymore.”
Lost your heart?
Just crazy?
Chen Ping was extremely shocked:
"How do you say this, Fellow Daoist Ling?"
Brother Ling looked gloomy:
"Since Taoist Companion passed away, Shen Daoyou has often muttered to himself and talked nonsense. It has become more and more serious recently, and he rarely returns home. He even complained about Fairy Xiyue. Hey, I hope he can leave soon. Come out."
I didn't expect Shen Jiudi to be so affectionate.
Completely trapped myself.
It's a good thing to be on the road to immortality, but why isn't it a bad thing?
How to cultivate immortality if you can pick it up but can't put it down.
It is difficult for Chen Ping to judge, this is Shen Jiudi's disaster.
Only he can overcome it.
"By the way, this wine is not easy to brew. At the previous reception, Loncin Winery advocated collaboration among winemakers to learn from each other's strengths and jointly explore the wine. I have reached a consensus with a winemaker and will merge in the near future. Wine shop." Brother Ling came back to his senses from Shen Jiudi's topic, said slowly, and reminded:
"Why don't you Daoyou Chen and Daoyou Qu (the Pretty Widow) work together? In my opinion, you two are the most suitable. They are close neighbors. If you demolish one of the walls, you can merge the winery. In this way, you can also take advantage of each other's strengths. , to make up for one's own shortcomings. It can save a lot of time for research, which is actually a win-win move."
Hearing this, Chen Ping didn't say anything yet. The pretty widow next door hugged the robe that wrapped Miaoman's body:
"Ah, I am not very knowledgeable and know little about brewing, so I won't delay Fellow Daoist Chen. There was a brewer who invited me two days ago, and I have already agreed to her."
The pretty widow smiled... In fact, no other winemakers invited her, but she somewhat looked down on working with Chen Ping.
Cooperation pays attention to the right match.
Chen Ping has only been here for half a year.
And judging from the previous exchanges between her and Chen Ping, Chen Ping had little experience in winemaking at the beginning, nor did he come from a family of winemakers.
She has been teaching herself how to make Zuixianhua for more than two years, and she had winemaking experience before coming here.
It is far beyond what Chen Ping can compare with.
She was even a little unhappy with Brother Ling, thinking why you didn't cooperate with Fellow Daoist Chen, because you didn't think that Fellow Daoist Chen had a short brewing time.
Chen Ping smiled and said nothing.
He himself would not choose to cooperate with others.
In the world of immortality, all that matters is interests, and human relationships always come second.
Wouldn’t it be nice to make wine quietly by yourself?
…
A few days later, when Chen Ping passed by a pub on the street, he saw Shen Jiudi, who was drunk and talking loudly with his eyes red.
"I guess this Drunken Fairy Flower is simply a fake wine. Have any of you seen it? No one, right?"
"It's all fake, it's all made up. I wasted a few years here, mother."
"That Fairy Xiyue is not a good person either. This monk even suspects that she is an accomplice and is interested in entanglements. Haven't you seen the wine shops all over the street? How many families are making a lot of money?"
"..."
The more he spoke, the more outrageous he became.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is easy for Yuanying monks to get into trouble.
Chen Ping tried to stop him based on the friendship between his former neighbors, but to no avail.
Shen Jiudi even talked more and more enthusiastically.
"..."
"Bah, fairy? What fairy? Is she worthy?
"
"How many of the monks on this street want to see her? She can even save our lives with just a little help. What about her? Has she ever appeared?"
"Hetui!"
"..."
"Don't say it, don't say it." Seeing that the topic was starting to go awry, the waiter quickly stopped him.
When it didn't work, the shopkeeper had no choice but to use magic to knock Shen Jiudi unconscious.
Afterwards, he was sent back to Fengquan Winery.
Chen Ping didn't stay long and quickly returned to his winery.
...You should go out less often in the future. If you anger Nascent Soul, you will suffer disaster sooner or later.
What a waste.
This Shen Jiudi is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
In a brewing bar, brewing is still the safest.
Four months later.
In the Jiannanchun wine shop, Chen Ping happily took a sip of the spirit wine.
Finally the "Grandmaster".
[Unknown Wine Brewing Technique (Grandmaster): 1/1000. 】
After more than a year, I can finally truly brew unknown wine.
Currently, most of the wines brewed by winemakers are 'skilled', or 'proficient', early stage wines, and are not even considered to be the drunken fairy flower that has been missing for hundreds of years.
'Proficiency, in the middle and late stages is equivalent to the spiritual wine brewed by the old winemaker, which is the wine that Fairy Xiyue likes to drink.
'Mastery, Late Stage, and even 'Expert', after that, every day is making legends.
Ordinary monks may not be able to taste this difference in efficacy.
But Chen Ping believes that Fairy Xiyue can definitely do it.
As for 'perfection, level wine...
hehe.
Fairy Xiyue is not worthy.
"Xiaohong, go ask Madam to get the high-grade spiritual materials." Chen Ping ordered.
Although there are few high-grade spiritual materials, the medicinal materials shop has collected a lot of them over the past year.
Among the 8 kinds of fresh spiritual materials, except for Mulholly, which only has 8 plants in total, the other seven types are between 10-16 plants.
Chen Ping calculated that it would be enough for four times.
enough.
With my current technology, there is no possibility of making mistakes.
"Yes, head of the family." Xiao Hongma ran out quickly.
After a while, Yu Lingchun brought 8 kinds of fresh spiritual materials:
"Husband, are you going to start brewing wine at a large brewing site?"
"Well. You and Xiaohong prepare the medicinal materials, and I will make other preparations first. We will officially brew the Drunken Fairy Flower today." Chen Ping ordered.
The preparation of these top-quality fresh spiritual materials is very particular. For example, the leaves of one of the spiritual materials are not ground as finely as possible, but the integrity of the leaf pattern in the center of the leaf is maintained. This pattern is the introduction of spiritual materials during the brewing process. channel of force.
If it is completely ground, the effect will be greatly reduced.
this point is very important.
But these are not mentioned in the formula or process. The formula only talks about how many taels of this spiritual material are needed.
Chen Ping also learned about it through the guidance of the panel while continuing to practice liver wine making.
Chen Ping had already taken care of the large-capacity assembly line before and tried it twice with low-grade spiritual materials without any problems.
What we are waiting for is that it will be officially put into use today.
After all the spiritual materials were prepared, Chen Ping took a deep breath and officially started brewing wine.
… Prepare materials, mix, cast, ferment, cast, cast, ferment, distill, cast, distill…
In order to make it ferment well enough, the fermentation process is slowly extended after entering the expert stage. You can use secret techniques to speed things up, but they are not as effective as long-flowing water.
During the liver experience, Chen Ping took shortcuts most of the time. Occasionally practice the long-flow fermentation method.
Now when it comes to actually making wine, Chen Ping doesn’t need to be in a hurry, just ferment slowly.
It was not until fifteen days later that the first pot of unknown wine was brewed.
Chen Ping took a sip with excitement, even though his skills were extremely powerful.
Huo Chunqing, but when it came to this critical moment to test the results, he was still a little nervous.
Take a small bite and it's very sweet.
The scent is right.
The color is right.
The taste is right...
Chen Ping's hanging heart finally dropped.
It’s done.
Chen Ping took another sip and thought about it. The spirit wine was very mellow, with a slightly spicy taste and a sweet taste. The nectar and jade liquid flowed into the abdomen, as if a group of spiritual objects spread out in the stomach, and was quickly absorbed by itself.
That feeling is very comfortable.
"You take a sip too." Chen Ping smiled and handed it to Yu Lingchun.
Yu Lingchun took a small sip and frowned slightly. It seemed that the spicy taste was a bit choking, but because this thing was too precious, she swallowed it forcefully.
But immediately afterwards, there is an endless aftertaste of sweetness.
Her beautiful eyebrows stretch:
"It tastes good. ...Is this the Drunken Fairy Flower?"
"This is the Drunken Fairy Flower." Chen Ping smiled.
He thought that Zuixianhua could only be regarded as a younger brother in front of this spiritual wine.
He picked up the wine bottle and looked at it.
'The amount is not much. With so much spiritual material, the final essence will only be one pot. ,
'Almost three kilograms. ,
'You can brew another pot during this period, the spiritual material is still enough. ,
'When the second pot comes out, prepare yourself, and then you can go find Fairy Xiyue. ,
Chen Ping continued to make wine.
During the fermentation period, I went to see Guo Zizhao and Lin Changshou the next day and gave them some magic weapons again.
"Are the ones on hand sold out?" Chen Ping asked.
"Brother, it's sold out. The annual Tianyan City auction will be held in two months. During this period, many monks from other sects have come one after another. It's a good time to sell." Guo Zizhao said quickly.
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment.
Is it time for the annual auction again?
so fast.
It turns out that a year has passed.
I really don’t know the age of winemaking.
Return to the winery and continue brewing the second pot of unknown wine.
A few days later, Chen Ping, who was making wine, suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.
I went out to take a look, and saw many people standing outside discussing something in low voices, and many monks began to walk towards the end of Zuixian Lane.
The Jiannanchun wine shop where Chen Ping was located was in the innermost corner of the alley. The alley was so winding that Chen Ping couldn't see what was going on outside.
"Fellow Daoist Ling, what happened outside?" Chen Ping saw Brother Ling coming back from outside and asked about it.
"Fellow Daoist Shen is dead." Brother Ling said a little cautiously.
Dead...
Shen Jiudi looked crazy. Chen Ping didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for him:
"How did you die?"
Brother Ling came over and whispered:
"Hey, it's normal for his mouth to cause trouble. It's a good thing that he didn't die until today."
"I heard that he was dissatisfied with Fairy Xiyue and was so bold that he planned to murder Fairy Xiyue. There will be an annual auction soon. Fellow Daoist Shen actually thought of pretending to be a visitor from another sect to visit Tianyan Sect, saying that he wanted to I offer precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures, hoping to take the opportunity to kill Fairy Xiyue."
"I never thought that the clues would be discovered without even passing the mountain gate. He was so crazy and planned some kind of conspiracy. But he was easily killed."
"His body is now hanging in the alley and street, saying it is used as a warning to future generations. Wow, it looks so miserable like that."
Brother Ling clicked his tongue.
Chen Ping also felt nervous.
He turned two corners and looked at the end of the alley from a distance. Shen Jiudi's body was hanging there. His body was riddled with holes and there was a notice posted next to it.
For people to watch.
No one dared to take down his body.
Why bother?
!
Nascent Soul, when you build the foundation, don’t tell me what you are up to. Even if the Nascent Soul cultivator stands in front of you and asks you to kill him, you may not be able to hurt others at all.
Besides, Fairy Xiyue cannot be blamed for this matter.
For a monk with a high level of cultivation, if someone is willing to help, it is a matter of friendship, but if someone is unwilling to help, it is a duty.
But there can be no moral kidnapping.
Among the monks who have come to take root in Zuixian Lane, which one has a problem that needs to be solved that is not extremely complicated? Basically, it's all troubles that foundation building can't do anything about, and even golden elixir can't do anything about.
Just like Yu Lingchun, it often takes decades of continuous immortal treatment.
With such a troublesome matter, why would people be willing to help you for no reason?
Other people’s time is also time.
Chen Ping does not recognize Shen Jiudi's values.
He also recognized the principle of equivalent exchange.
Mutual benefit and reciprocity are the most long-term cooperation models, rather than unilateral demands.
Chen Ping sighed softly and turned back to the wine shop.
He understands everything.
But still quite emotional.
Is Shen Jiudi the first person to be extremely disappointed?
Certainly not.
The big man with gray beard that Chen Ping met when he first migrated left sadly with a heart full of disappointment.
In fact, except for him, everyone in this alley has only one destiny.
That is to leave sadly.
Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Don't bully young people into poverty. Behind them, don't bully middle-aged people into poverty. Don't bully old people into poverty. The dead are the most important.
This road is never easy!
