The flying boat roared through the sky.
It was a day's journey when we came here, but it was only a short while after we returned. The flying boat soon arrived at Hedongfang.
Originally, Liu Yongtian planned to summon everyone in Hedongfang to publicly announce that Xu Ke had passed the promotion assessment and was awarded the first-class grade, so that Xu Ke could show off.
Xu Ke refused directly.
In the windy and snowy weather, Xu Ke felt that it was too tasteless to call people over in large numbers just to show off.
Seeing Xu Ke's refusal, Liu Yongtian did not persist.
Later, Liu Yongtian lowered his flying boat and sent Xu Ke to his door before saying goodbye and leaving.
Xu Ke stood in front of the door, looking at the flying boat flying through the sky, his eyes full of envy.
If you get a promotion or a salary increase, it’s natural to consider buying a car!
"Chirp!"
The Purple Skylark chirped a few times in response to the occasion.
"You think you want to buy it too?"
Xu Ke reached out and touched the purple skylark's feathers, with a smile on his face.
Well, I decided happily. My first small goal after being promoted to the serving disciple of Sinong Palace is to make money to buy a car and a flying magic weapon!
After returning home, Xu Ke turned around and entered the bedroom. He applied the "Concrete to Stone" spell in reverse and cast "Fossil to Mud" to turn the stone that had previously sealed the entrance of the cave into soil.
With one roll of the Expelling Object Technique, the dirt was rolled up and piled aside.
His body swayed and he fell to the bottom of the cave. Looking at the "cave house" in front of him, Xu Ke let out a long sigh. I have just built a cave, and I haven't lived in it for long before I have to move.
Entering the training room, Xu Ke first picked up the storage bag and tied it directly to his waist.
If the status is different, the pattern will be different.
If he was a low-level farming disciple in the past, hanging a storage bag around his waist would not match his status.
With Xu Ke's current status, hanging a storage bag around his waist is completely natural, and no one thinks there is any problem.
This is one of the benefits of increased status.
It seems that my previous ideas still have limitations. I have always been a low-level disciple and just immersed myself in practicing and upgrading. This idea is wrong.
Different statuses have completely different resources available to them. The higher the status, the more resources are obtained, which are more beneficial to practice.
Of course, strength improvement is always the first demand, and status improvement is only an incidental demand. I can still distinguish this priority.
After clearing your mind, you need to face reality.
There is a very real problem in front of us. There are thousands of kilograms of Qianzhong millet stored in the "underground cave", and we still need to find a way to deal with it.
After being promoted to the serving disciple of Sinong Hall, it is definitely impossible to stay in Hedongfang, and moving is inevitable.
Thousands of kilograms of Qianzhong millet cannot be contained in storage bags, so they must be handled properly. Selling it directly is the worst option, or brewing it into a spirit bar!
Today is the sixth day of the lunar month, tomorrow is the seventh day of the lunar month, and at the latest the morning of tomorrow, I have to report to the Sinong Hall.
Time is a bit tight, but...it's not a big problem.
Thinking of this, Xu Ke quickly took out the "Spirit Wine Brewing Technique" given by Zhang Lingfeng and looked through it.
In order to cope with the promotion assessment of Sinong Palace, he did not bother with the "Spiritual Wine Brewing Technique". Looking back now, Xu Ke found that this "Spiritual Wine Brewing Technique" was not difficult to use.
Xu Ke had learned most of the required spells, and he had practiced them all to the point where they could break through their limits and turn into innate spells. There are only two new spells to learn, one is "fermentation" and the other is "extraction".
The casting principle of "Fermentation" is somewhat similar to that of "Corruption", and should be the same type of spell.
Compared with the "Corruption Technique", the "Fermentation Technique" only slightly changes the operation of spiritual power.
With Xu Ke's mastery of the "Corruption Technique", he could easily master the "Fermentation Technique" at a glance. After casting the spell once, he was completely in control, and he didn't need God's reward for his hard work.
The function of "extraction" is to replace distillation and extract wine directly from fermented raw materials.
This spell is actually somewhat related to the "Cleaning Spell", but the two effects are exactly opposite. One is to remove impurities, and the other is to extract essence.
By analogy, the "extraction technique" can also be easily mastered.
To be on the safe side, Xu Ke cast a "hundred-fold gain" on each of these two spells.
then……
"Fermentation: Perfection."
"Extraction Technique: Perfection."
The foundation is different, Xu Ke is no longer the hard-working farming disciple who once practiced Qi at the first level.
Previously, he practiced a bunch of spells to the limit and turned them into innate spells. Now, Xu Ke's understanding of spells and control of spiritual power are already extraordinary.
With Xu Ke's current state, by analogy, low-level spells such as fermentation and extraction are not difficult at all, and it is easier to upgrade. If you brush them once, you will get a hundredfold harvest.
Now, the magic foundation for brewing spiritual wine is already in place.
The next step is to cook the rice and prepare raw materials for fermentation and wine making.
It's just... Thousands of kilograms of Qianzhong millet are cooked in the iron pot at home. I don't know how long it will take to cook.
Xu Ke looked at the "room" where Qian Zhongsu was stored, and suddenly his mind moved, what kind of iron pot was used? Just treat this "room" as a big pot and cook it all in one pot.
So, Xu Ke dug out a large piece of earth and stone, used "fossils as mud" and "concrete as stone" to directly seal most of the "door", treating the "room" as a cauldron.
Then, rain spell, add water!
Xu Ke's rain spell has also exceeded its limit and turned into a natural spell. Even if you are underground, it is still easy to cast rain spell to collect water vapor.
A moment later, the room filled with thousands of bell millet was already covered with thick cumulonimbus clouds.
"Wow!"
Torrential rain poured down, watering the room.
Driving spiritual power, he kept the rain spell running until the water in the room completely submerged the accumulated Qianzhong millet.
Converging his spiritual power and dispersing the rain spell, Xu Ke cast the object-dispelling spell and stirred the stagnant water until the thousand bell millet was evenly distributed.
The next step is to steam.
When cooking Qianzhong millet, water vapor will inevitably boil, and the boiling water vapor needs to be discharged.
So, Xu Ke directly drew his sword and opened a large hole upward to discharge the water vapor.
The excavated earth and rocks were piled into the room on the other side. Xu Ke used the "boiling technique" on the big "pot", and a blazing fire began to boil in the "big pot".
It is said to be "fire". In fact, there is no burning phenomenon during the casting process of this spell. Instead, the heat is directly increased through the operation of fire spiritual power. Just like a microwave oven, the heating effect is very strong.
Xu Ke's cooking technique also exceeded its limits and turned into an innate spell.
However, it is not that easy to cook thousands of kilograms of Qianzhong millet at once, even with the innate spell.
The spiritual power in Xu Ke's body continued to circulate, maintaining the continuous casting of the "boiling technique" and constantly heating Qianzhong Millet. The churning water vapor was discharged through the previously opened hole, rising like billowing smoke.
If it were placed before promotion, Xu Ke would still be worried that the noise would be too big. But now, what if it makes a noise? As long as it's not murder and arson, it doesn't matter.
The boiling technique was used with all his strength and lasted for two hours, and finally the "pot" of Qianzhong Millet was cooked.
Even with Xu Ke's current strength, it was a bit overwhelming, and the spiritual energy at the fourth level of Qi training was almost drained.
The next step is fermentation.
Fermentation is a key step in brewing spiritual wine, and it still needs to be carefully considered. Let’s practice fermentation with a little cooked Qianzhong millet first!
At this time, a human face suddenly appeared above the hole that had been made previously to discharge water vapor.
"Little friend, what are you doing?"
An old man with white beard and hair stretched his head out of the hole above and looked at Xu Ke below.
This person turned out to be the old deacon who sat next to Deacon Wang during the promotion assessment, saying nothing and keeping his eyes closed.
How did he find this place?
