After the banquet, Ye Lingtian sent away the satisfied brothers Cha Yulei and the reluctant Tianpeng, returned to his room, and began to meditate. The next day, he took advantage of the escape light and headed to Nantianmen.
As a god with close ties to the human world, Dionysus has many privileges that other immortal gods do not have.
For example, he could come to earth without the permission of the Emperor of Heaven and travel freely between heaven and earth.
In addition, the god of wine has a mansion in heaven and a palace in the human world. Heaven will even grant him a blessed land in immortal mountains and send out heavenly craftsmen to build divine palaces and mansions.
Yuncuishan is the dojo given to Ye Lingtian by the Emperor of Heaven. This mountain is located in the center of the Nine Provinces of the Human Race. It is green and majestic, with convenient transportation and radiating in all directions.
The palace was built here to facilitate him to manage the fragrance of wine in the world.
In addition, Yuncui Mountain is also a blessed land of caves. Although it is not a top-grade cave, it has innate spiritual veins lingering and acquired spiritual veins to protect it. It is considered excellent among middle-grade caves.
The spiritual veins and luck of this mountain can fully meet the cultivation needs of several Taiyi Golden Immortals or one Daluo Golden Immortal.
Ye Lingtian set foot on Yuncui Mountain for the first time and felt novel and delighted by the beautiful scenery here.
The immortal attendants of Yuncui Immortal Palace came to welcome him warmly, but after he simply dismissed these immortal attendants, he walked alone in the mountains, immersed in observing every leaf and grass, and listening to the gurgling stream. the sound, and the peaceful view of your own dojo.
The mountains are covered with all kinds of strange spiritual herbs and beautiful flowers, and rare birds and strange beasts roam freely among them.
What particularly surprised Ye Lingtian was that he discovered a precious acquired spiritual root - red red white lychee in the back mountain.
The entire body of this spiritual root is a dazzling red color. Whether it is the trunk or the branches and leaves, they are as bright as ruby. Especially under the sunlight, it emits a dazzling red glow.
It blooms every hundred and a half years, bears fruit every hundred and a half years, and matures every hundred and a half years. It takes five hundred years to produce 991 lychees.
These apricots can not only consolidate cultivation, purify the essence, and lay a solid foundation for practitioners, but they are also excellent spiritual objects for extending life span.
What is even more amazing is that this acquired spiritual root has been channeling and enlightening for six hundred years. It has extraordinary qualifications. Once it takes shape, it will quickly become an immortal.
It is rare to have an enlightened plant spirit, let alone one with spiritual roots. In addition, this spiritual root takes root and grows on the cloud platform, absorbing spiritual energy, and has a deep connection with Ye Lingtian.
Ye Lingtian already had a plan to conquer the five divine flavors, and red and white lychees corresponded to the "sweet" flavor. Therefore, he specially injected the wine cultivation method into this spiritual root, hoping to help it practice, and looked forward to it. It can grow into what he wants it to be.
On Yuncui, Ye Lingtian set up a grand formation in order to further protect and cultivate this spiritual root, and at the same time for the sake of his own practice and the peace of the dojo.
Located in the center of the formation is a majestic statue nine feet high.
This is the Dionysian statue carved by Ye Lingtian in advance. It is responsible for absorbing incense on behalf of Ye Lingtian himself, and will become the core of the Incense God Realm.
Once this statue can channel spirits, it will be able to completely replace Ye Lingtian, master the authority of the Dionysus, and perform its duties dutifully. At that time, Ye Lingtian will be able to be completely liberated, become a free body, and focus on pursuing Taoism. Enjoy your luck.
A few years later, Ye Lingtian successfully opened up a vast incense domain and planted many spiritual roots and elixirs in it before he left Yuncui Mountain. His arrival was just a drop-in, and his real destination was Mount Qingcheng.
A ball of blue light cut through the sky, disappeared in a flash, and then fell on the ground.
The light dissipated, and Ye Lingtian's slender figure appeared. He did not immediately go to a place he was familiar with. Instead, he disguised himself as a mortal, wore common clothes, and walked on foot.
He is well aware of the principle of "reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles".
Knowledge on paper will always feel not profound enough if it is not practiced.
Although we are in a new world and the environment has changed, the principle remains the same.
Over the years, although Ye Lingtian has made great contributions to the wine industry and achieved the status of the God of Wine, he has always been in a high position and has not truly penetrated into human life.
Now, he is wandering between Yunmeng Island, Qingcheng Mountain, and Heavenly Court, running for wine and seeking the Tao, but he realizes that he lacks the experience of going deep into the human world.
Ye Lingtian is determined to complete this crucial step this time.
With a light figure and firm steps, he shuttled between thousands of households, walked among the cities and villages, carefully observed each winery, carefully collected the aroma of wine in the world, and patiently observed the good and evil in the world.
He has an insight into the various aspects of the human world through the small wine room, and uses the aroma, color, fragrance, shape and form of the wine to explore people's emotions and desires.
He seeks truth in practice!
As the god of wine, only by traveling thousands of miles and entering countless families can we truly understand the changes in the winery and deeply understand the true meaning of a winemaker.
He gained enlightenment through observation!
Although the wine room is only a small space, it carries the avenue of heaven and earth; although the jars, bowls, ladles and steamers may seem ordinary, they contain the secrets of the universe.
Wine reflects the human soul and conveys emotional communication.
Ye Lingtian's way lies not only in the vast world, but also in the ordinary human world.
The human world is a collection of various flavors, and daily medicinal materials contain changes in yin and yang.
The world of mortals is as delicate as ceramics, and the various conditions and heat in the world give birth to the wonderful five flavors.
He walked for five hundred years, observed for five hundred years, practiced for five hundred years, and created for five hundred years.
Five hundred years later, Ye Lingtian came to a place hundreds of miles away from Qingcheng Mountain.
At this time, he had become a weather-beaten old man and staggered into a village called Shicun.
The village is poor and few outsiders visit.
The villagers live a simple and simple life, working hard every day, working from sunrise to sunset.
Their biggest wish is to drink a bowl of rice wine.
For these villagers, the wine room is a symbol of life, food is the guarantee of survival, and the aroma of wine is a symbol of hope. It is meaningless to extend life without a little wine in the meal.
Ye Lingtian's visit made the villagers feel novel and excited, and they warmly welcomed the elder.
This is not only because he is well-informed, but also because of his longevity.
The villagers took out the rice wine that they were usually reluctant to enjoy, and slaughtered carefully raised native chickens in preparation for the banquet. Even the frugal villagers spent money to buy meat for wine to entertain him.
In their minds, Ye Lingtian is a distinguished guest.
Now that he's here, do your best to entertain him.
On that inconspicuous dining table, the dishes exude joy and warmth, and the rice wine exudes hospitality. It is also a bowl that ordinary people have when eating every day to relieve themselves from the hard work of the day.
Ye Lingtian understood the deeper meaning of the wine aroma.
After eating and drinking to his satisfaction, he set off again.
Before leaving, Ye Lingtian left gold and silver as gifts. Although the amount was small, it was enough for the whole village to enjoy a sumptuous meal.
His pace changed from staggering to steady. When he approached Qingcheng Mountain, he had changed from a gray-haired old man to a young man full of vicissitudes of life.
At this time, he was only ten miles away from Qingcheng Mountain.
He entered a village called Shili Village. Because it was close to Qingcheng Mountain, every household was good at cooking wine, and every household had one or two unique skills.
Therefore, the village is very wealthy.
They have long been accustomed to foreign guests.
Without free entertainment, Ye Lingtian ended up staying at an old man's home.
The old man did not prepare sumptuous dishes, but only a simple bowl of white wine as a reception for him.
This old man was once the most skilled person in the village in making wine, attracting countless drinkers to taste it every day.
However, as he grew older and his physical strength declined, so did his drinking skills.
