Second-Tier Brewing Inheritance

"It seems that the only way to find a solution for this third-tier weapon-refining inheritance is to look to the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World resources are much richer."

His thoughts returned, and he reached out to First Rank Fish Farming Heritage was handed to him. He then carefully flipped through it and commented.

"This inheritance is quite ingenious, and it has some connection with the art of beast taming. Beast Tamer should find it much more effective to study this inheritance."

"I will take this book of inheritance back with me and let Lin Fan, the Guest Elder of the clan who is skilled in beast taming, take a look at it. If he can comprehend it, the Lineage can quickly gain another fish keeper, thereby increasing the Lineage's income from spirit fish."

"If you encounter such rare traditional arts and crafts in the future, as long as the price is right, Peng Shan, you should try your best to buy them."

"Now that the auction is over, the crowds in the market will gradually disperse, and there is no need for me to oversee this place."

"Peng Shan, Peng Qiu, I'm leaving this place to you."

Ling Pengyun, preoccupied with the matter of the third-order weapon-refining inheritance, had no more intention to say anything more. He waved his hand and then left the place with Ling Penglin, Second Rank Array Formation Master, and Ling Chengxin, a second-order Alchemist. They left the market and headed back towards the Muddy Swamp Territory.

Ling Pengshan and Ling Pengqiu chatted for a few words while still in the courtyard before leaving.

Ling Pengqiu returned to a quiet room within the courtyard, where an extremely rich atmosphere filled him with energy, and began his seclusion.

The heart of the market town.

Gathered Arts Hall.

Ling Pengshan, who had just returned from the council meeting, was approached by a Ling Clan clan cultivator of the "Cheng" generation who was in charge of the area.

"Uncle Peng Shan, not long ago, an elderly First-Tier Superior-Grade winemaker came to our door, saying that he has a second-grade winemaking inheritance and is willing to sell it to our Ling Clan. However, his requirements are a bit harsh. He wants a Foundation Establishment Pill as a condition for the sale."

"I can't tell if that Second Rank Brewing Heritage is genuine or not, and Foundation Establishment Pill are too expensive. Even within the clan, they are not available, so I dare not easily agree to this matter."

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengshan's eyes lit up.

The Ling Clan obtained a first-tier brewing inheritance more than ten years ago. Relying on that brewing inheritance, the Ling Clan also trained three first-tier brewers.

The emerging Second Rank Brewing Heritage is extremely suitable for the Ling Clan.

Perhaps, in the future, the Ling Clan will be able to train a second-tier brewer.

Second-tier spirit wine brewed by a second-tier winemaker is quite valuable, and because it is free of impurities and extremely pure, just like Spirit Cuisine, it is highly sought after by cultivators in the market.

"Old brewer from that year, did you stay?" Ling Pengshan asked the member of the Cheng Generation.

"He stayed behind, and the brewer is currently in the quiet room inside the hall," the member of the Cheng Generation replied.

Ling Pengshan nodded slightly and walked towards the quiet room inside the hall, entering it.

Inside the quiet room, an elderly man with a bulbous nose and a strong smell of alcohol sat in a chair.

Upon seeing Ling Pengshan arrive, exuding the aura of Foundation Establishment, the old man's expression shifted slightly. He immediately stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Ling Pengshan, and asked a question.

"Senior, are you Ling Pengshan from the Ling Clan family?"

Ling Pengshan nodded slightly and inquired, "That's right. I heard from my clansmen that you intend to sell a second-tier brewing master's inheritance. Is that true?"

"Senior, please take a look!" The old man with the bulbous nose waved his hand and patted the Storage Bag at his waist, taking out a yellow-covered book and handing it to Ling Pengshan.

Ling Pengshan reached out and took it, then carefully examined it.

This yellow-covered book does indeed record the complete first-level and second-level brewing techniques.

In addition, this yellow-covered book also records more than ten first-grade brewing recipes, as well as three Second Rank Low Grade, three Second Grade Middle Rank, and three Second Rank High Grade recipes.

What surprised Ling Pengshan was that the dozen or so first-order brewing recipes recorded in this Second Rank Brewing Heritage were all recorded in the first-order brewing inheritance that the Ling Clan had obtained more than ten years ago, so there was a high degree of overlap.

Such a coincidence is quite unusual.

Ling Pengshan had seen his Lineage's first-tier brewing tradition in his early years and knew that it contained several first-tier brewing recipes that were extremely rare on the market.

While those brewing recipes may not be unique, within the Yan Kingdom, there are no more than five factions that possess those rare brewing recipes.

Aside from the Ling Clan, the only person capable of gathering all of them is the one who sold the first-tier brewing technique to the Ling Clan back then.

Thinking this through, Ling Pengshan's eyes flickered, and he tentatively asked.

"Fellow Daoist, are you from White Cloud Market Town, outside the White Cloud Mountain Range?"

The old man with the bulbous nose knew the reason for Ling Pengshan's question, and he did not hide it, nodding in response.

"I am indeed coming to White Cloud Market Town. I know what you are thinking, senior. I will not hide it from you. More than ten years ago, I sold a first-level brewing technique to the noble Old Ancestor Ling Pengyun, but at that time Old Ancestor Ling's cultivation was still in the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"My Second Rank Brewing Heritage is indeed genuine. I can vouch for it with my life. If it is false, senior, you may simply kill me here."

Ling Pengshan's eyes twitched, and a cunning smile, like that of a ruthless businessman, spread across his face.

"Oh, it's an acquaintance. My apologies for not recognizing you sooner."

"Fellow Daoist, you are exaggerating. Although I am not a brewer, I have studied the first-tier brewing manual that you once sold to my clan. Based on that brewing manual, I can determine the authenticity of this Second Rank Brewing Heritage without any problem."

"However, on the other hand, although this Second Rank Brewing Heritage is quite good, it is worth at most 20,000 Spirit Stone on the market. Even considering its rarity, the price at an auction would be about 30% higher than the market price, but it is still worth at most 25,000 Spirit Stone."

"Not to mention, the first-order brewing chapter of the Second Rank Brewing Heritage that you plan to sell to the Ling Clan is something that the Ling Clan already possesses. The value of this Second Rank Brewing Heritage will be reduced by at least 10% or 20%."

"Under such circumstances, this Second Rank Brewing Heritage is worth at most around 22,000 Spirit Stone."

"The Foundation Establishment Pill that you requested, fellow Daoist, is worth a full 30,000 Spirit Stone on the market."

"This Second Rank Brewing Heritage alone is not enough for you to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill from my Ling Clan."

"However, considering our past relationship, the Ling Clan will not hold the repetition of content in the brewing tradition you are selling this time. The Ling Clan family can pay you 25,000 Spirit Stone, the original market price."

"However, the extra three thousand Spirit Stone were not given for nothing. I heard from my clan's Patriarch Pengyun years ago that you are a highly skilled First-Tier Superior-Grade winemaker, and you even have a shop in White Cloud Market Town that specializes in selling spirit wine. I suppose you are quite skilled at brewing spirit wine."

"My Ling Clan intends to recruit you as a guest Guest Elder. If you wish to receive an additional three thousand Spirit Stone, you must agree to join our clan as Guest Elder."

"Of course, after you become Guest Elder of my clan in this way, your benefits as Guest Elder of the Ling Clan will remain. You will receive thirty Spirit Stone for brewing spirit wine for the Ling Clan for a month. If you complete the quota for brewing spirit wine and brew more spirit wine, you will receive additional income."

"If you serve my clan for thirty years, my clan will also give you a First Rank Spirit Vein for free to help you establish your Lineage. In the future, you only need to offer some spiritual items to my Ling Clan every year, and my Ling Clan will protect the safety of the Lineage you establish."

"If you do not wish to establish Lineage in the future, your monthly salary will be increased by 50%. When your lifespan is exhausted and you are no longer able to work, our clan will also take care of you in your old age."

Upon hearing this, the old man with the bulbous nose immediately showed a bitter expression on his face.

This time, he will bring out his family's Second Rank Brewing Heritage, which is the foundation of his business in White Cloud Market Town, in order to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Although he is very old, he has a grandson.

His grandson was exceptionally talented, possessing the aptitude for the Wood, Water, Earth Three Spirit Roots.

In addition, thanks to his family fortune and the vast wealth left by his ancestors, his grandson broke through to the Qi Refining Consummation Realm more than ten years ago when he was only in his forties.

More than a decade ago, he sold his family's first-tier brewing inheritance to Ling Pengyun in order to collect Spirit Stone to buy Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object for his grandson.

It's a pity that although he bought a second-rate Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object in White Cloud Market Town, his grandson was not fortunate enough to break through to Foundation Establishment. His meridians were also damaged due to the failure to break through to Foundation Establishment.

It took him more than ten years of nurturing with spiritual energy for his grandson to recover from his meridian injuries half a year ago.

Now, his grandson is fifty-nine years old, and only one year remains before he reaches the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, because his grandson had condensed a drop of Liquid Spiritual Power during his previous breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, he still had at least a 10% chance of breaking through to Foundation Establishment on his own.

If he had the help of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, his grandson would have a greater chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment.
