Second Grade Spirit Wine
After spending half a month in Vermilion Cloud City, Chen Mobai had no choice but to return to Chicheng Cave Heaven.
Because the new semester has started.
This year he officially became a sixth-grade student.
However, for Chen Mobai, the division of grades no longer mattered.
After reaching the Foundation Establishment, you basically won't attend classes anymore; you'll only appear at the end of the year for exams to earn credits.
This year, Chen Mobai chose three major courses as usual: Talisman, Puppetry, and Spirit Plant.
The only difference is that last year's flying sword was replaced with Spirit Plant.
The main reason is that he has already learned all the knowledge of "Agriculture" in the Dao Academy, and he has a thorough understanding of the cultivation of Spirit Rice from the first to the Second Grade, the maintenance of Spirit Field, and so on.
Going further up, to learn about Spirit Rice and Spirit Field of Third Grade and above, one must study the major system of Spirit Plant.
After the three major courses, there were some elective courses. After completing all the credits for Agriculture, which he had previously loved and studied the most, Chen Mobai began to focus his attention on "Herb identification" and "Treasure Appraisal".
These two subjects are also key to whether one can become a major trader in the future.
However, in order to earn more credits, he still chose Minerals identification and Talisman Ink Pigment Extraction.
Having finished his calligraphy course, Chen Mobai also chose courses related to Spirit Plant, such as ley line surveying, mining geology, and the cultivation and protection of spiritual herbs.
After registering, Chen Mobai made an appointment with Yu Rulin. He learned from the latter that the reserves of Longevity Replenishing Pill and Longevity Pill were quite abundant, so he did not immediately mortgage his Talisman factory in Vermilion Cloud City.
He decided to wait until he had collected all the Longevity Tree Fruit before doing this.
After all, mortgages also require interest, so every little bit saved counts.
The following days returned to a stable phase, just like always.
After Chen Mobai completed the Foundation Establishment of the Pure Yang Scroll, he began to focus on improving his cultivation and realm of this Nascent Soul Technique.
After all, even if one consumes the Longevity Tree Fruit and completes the Foundation Establishment of the Longevity Sutra, if one wants to use the Two Aspects Technique Core Formation, this technique still needs to be upgraded to the same level.
Fortunately, the Immortal Sect has Qi Replenishing Spirit Water. As long as one's cultivation level reaches a certain point, one can use this kind of pill to replenish one's spiritual power.
Chen Mobai rebuilt the glory of the Wuqi Dao Academy in the Lesser Red Heaven and received a reward of one hundred Second Grade- Qi Replenishing Spirit Water from the Dao Academy, which was just enough to complete the first level of the Pure Yang Scroll Foundation Establishment.
Zhongli Tianyu's ability to break through a realm in a year is due not only to the profound mystery of the Cantong Qi, but also to the effects of the Qi Replenishing Spirit Water and the high-level Spirit Vein of Chicheng Mountain.
After comparing the cultivation situations in the Sky River Realm and the Earth Origin Star, Chen Mobai felt that the most outstanding spiritual medicine on the Immortal Sect's side should be this Qi Replenishing Spirit Water.
While there are some pill formulas in the Sky River Realm that can shorten the process of accumulating spiritual power, which requires time and spiritual energy, their applicability is far inferior to that of a universal elixir like Qi Replenishing Spirit Water.
Although not everyone in the Immortal Sect can afford Qi- Qi Replenishing Spirit Water, at least Chen Mobai has the means to do so.
Moreover, the Qi Replenishing Spirit Water requires corresponding spiritual energy to take effect, and whether in Chicheng Mountain or the Sky River Realm, Chen Mobai has no shortage of spiritual energy.
That year, Chen Mobai honed his fire Wood Attribute spells with the help of Lesser Red Heaven, while using Qi Replenishing Spirit Water to enhance his Pure Yang Spiritual Power.
It must be said that, as time goes by, the Spell Duel skills of the Foundation Establishment True Cultivator in Lesser Red Heaven are getting stronger and stronger.
At first, Chen Mobai was able to easily suppress and defeat early Foundation Establishment cultivators with his magic, thanks to his rich combat experience. However, after the new semester started, some amazing individuals forced him to use his Sword Light to kill them.
Those cultivators in the mid- Foundation Establishment progress even more rapidly.
When facing the best among them, Chen Mobai sometimes needs to go all out to ensure victory.
However, this was also a huge test for him.
After Lesser Red Heaven expanded into a Cave Heaven Blessed Land covering half of the Immortal Sect with the help of the Chicheng Mountain Spirit Vein and the Primordial Yang Sword, Chen Mobai encountered more and more opponents, and once his undefeated legend was even about to be broken.
That was a Proud Son of Heaven from the Kunpeng Daoist Academy named Nangong Xiu. Although his cultivation was only at the third level of Foundation Establishment, he had already mastered a portion of the Six Imperial Scripture and was hailed as the second Lan Haitan.
Chen Mobai's magical Spell Duel with him still ranks first on Lesser Red Heaven Video On Demand.
Fortunately, Chen Mobai proved to be the superior fighter, using the Sun Ascension Technique Flame Explosion Technique to unleash the Azure Sun Fire Sword Light, which pierced through Nangong Xiu's Six Imperial Scripture, securing victory in the end.
Besides Nangong Xiu, Chen Mobai also encountered the Nascent Dao Seed from the other Great Dao Academy.
Besides Qing Nü, Goumang Dao Academy also has another person with Innate Heavenly Spirit Root. However, fortunately, his Eight Desolates One Qi Skill is still in its early stages and he is not good at Spell Duel, so he puts far less pressure on Chen Mobai than Nangong Xiu.
Besides the Four Great Dao Academies, the other Ten Great Academies are also full of hidden talents, with several individuals similar to Lu Qiulong.
Fortunately, their fighting spirit was average, and their Spell Duel skills were not yet fully honed, so they accepted defeat when they encountered Chen Mobai.
But Chen Mobai had a feeling that after a few years, once they were all familiar with his power in Lesser Red Heaven, he wouldn't be able to win so easily.
For cultivators, time passes the fastest.
Divine Wood Sect.
It's that time of year again for the Sect Grand Competition, a battle that will change the fate of Qi Cultivation Disciple.
For Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it was just a rare moment of leisure and rest after a year of busy work.
"It's a pity that Senior Brother Yuan is still in seclusion, so he won't be able to taste this Jade Bamboo Spirit Wine."
In his own courtyard in Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai sat on the ground and opened a large jar of Spirit Wine made from the Second Grade Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice harvested last year. The rich and pure aroma of the wine spread out, causing everyone present to squint their eyes in intoxication.
"It seems I came back at just the right time this year."
E Yun, who was sitting next to Chen Mobai, spoke up.
There wasn't much fighting in Cloud Dream Marsh this year. E Yun was escorting rare items such as Demon Beast Inner Core back to the sect, and also applied for resources such as Spirit Stone Array Formation and formations for next year.
Besides the two, there are also Yan Jinye and Yue Zutao. The former has been very close to Chen Mobai since the Lone Soul Ridge incident, after all, they can be considered as Life and Death Friend.
Yue Zutao was someone Chen Mobai had always wanted to befriend, since he was the only one who had consumed the sample of the Longevity Tree Fruit.
Previously, Yue Zutao had been invited to Little South Mountain, but he declined because he thought it was too far. Today, he was in Divine Wood City, and having heard that a Second Grade Spirit Wine was being opened, he gladly came.
As expected, the Jade Bamboo Spirit Wine did not disappoint the four Foundation Establishment True Cultivator present.
After each person took a bite, their face turned rosy, and faint white steam rose from their foreheads. After a long while, everyone let out a long breath, feeling the comfort of their Qi and Blood and the fullness of their spirits, and couldn't help but marvel.
"I never expected that a sip of this Spirit Wine brewed from Second Tier Spirit Rice would be almost as effective as taking a Nourishing Origin Pill."
The Nourishing Origin Pill is a Second Grade pill used by early Foundation Establishment cultivators to nourish their bodies and strengthen their vital energy. Long-term use can help cultivate spiritual power and enhance Spiritual Sense.
Although the price is acceptable, at 10 Spirit Stone per pill, the large dosage required means that Foundation Establishment Cultivator can afford it will generally carry around a hundred pills.
Those who cultivate their bodies take it day and night.
"Junior Brother Chen, when will you put this Second Grade Spirit Wine on the shelves in your shop?"
After drinking it, Yue Zutao couldn't help but ask to place an order.
"That will probably have to wait ten years."
Chen Mobai's words startled everyone present.
"Junior brother, why does it take so long?"
"Zhuo Ming, why don't you explain this to Senior Brother E and the others?"
Chen Mobai immediately called to her little apprentice who was serving her. Her cultivation had reached the Qi Cultivation Level 6. In the past two years, she had focused on planting Spirit Rice and preparing Medicinal Wine. Her originally fair skin had turned slightly yellowish-white, which almost made E Yun not recognize her.
"My two senior uncles, it's like this. Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice takes ten years to mature. The Spirit Rice used for brewing wine was ripened by Master using a special method. In reality, its quality is not even Second Grade."
Upon hearing this, E Yun and Yue Zutao exchanged a surprised glance.
On the contrary, Yan Jinye often walked around Little South Mountain this year. The two Unregistered Disciple assigned to Zhuo Ming also told her what they had seen. She even participated in the brewing process herself, so she already knew about this matter.
"This isn't right. This jar of Spirit Wine is genuine Second Grade."
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator could distinguish between the first and Second Grade. First-tier pills and Spirit Wine were no longer of any use to them; only Second Grade Spirit Wine could make them feel intoxicated and their Qi and Blood flow smoothly.
"That's because the artificially ripened Spirit Rice does indeed have some of the characteristics of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice. And when brewing the wine, with the help of Uncle Yan, we incorporated the formulas for Hundred Herbs Pill and Spirit Nourishing Soup into it, using the method of brewing Medicinal Wine. But even so, only two out of twenty-six jars were successful."
As Zhuo Ming spoke, she took out a jar of Spirit Wine from her storage bag. Although it had an intoxicating aroma, it was far inferior to the jar they had been drinking.
"This is a failure. Although it is considered a first-grade Spirit Wine, it is completely useless to the senior uncles."
E Yun and Yue Zutao poured a large bowl, took a sip, and although the taste was not bad, just as Zhuo Ming said, it had no effect on them, who were Foundation Establishment Cultivator. "It can be considered a success. After all, these Spirit Wine are a great tonic for Qi Cultivation Cultivator."
Yan Jinye spoke up, saying that brewing Second Grade Spirit Wine was basically impossible without her help as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
So, to thank her, Chen Mobai gave her another Second Grade pill recipe in exchange for Little South Mountain's exclusive right to brew this Second Grade Spirit Wine.
Yan Jinye was very happy about this, and even privately told Zhuo Ming that if she encountered any difficulties in brewing new Medicinal Wine in the future, she should just let her know, and she would come to help whenever she was free.
"Junior Brother Chen, there's still one jar left, open it quickly."
After learning the whole story, E Yun immediately set his sights on another jar of Second Grade Spirit Wine.
"Senior brother, let's finish this jar first."
Chen Mobai patted the wine jar next to him, which was almost half his height. Given their drinking capacity, they would be lucky to finish half of it.
"Junior Brother Chen, I was reserved when drinking before because I wasn't good at it. I can finish this whole jar of wine by myself."
E Yun's words made Chen Mobai burst into laughter.
"If Senior Brother E truly has such a vast capacity, I will naturally present him with another jar of my treasured wine immediately."
"Okay, add me to the mix, and I'll make sure you finish those two jars today."
Suddenly, another familiar voice rang out in mid-air, a flash of green light appeared, and Yuan Chiye stood smiling on the rooftop.
"Hey, did you smell something? Didn't you say you were in seclusion and didn't have time?"
When Chen Mobai saw this old friend who had led him into the Divine Wood Sect, his face lit up with even greater joy.
"The Sect Leader summoned me, and I happened to see the Message Talisman you sent when I came out of seclusion. Isn't that a perfect coincidence?"
Yuan Chiye landed with a smile and sat down opposite Chen Mobai. Liu Wenbai immediately filled a large bowl and served it to him.
"You never miss out on good things."
Seeing this, E Yun couldn't help but laugh and say something.
In the end, Chen Mobai managed to save his other jar of wine.
Since E Yun and the others had never drunk Second Grade Spirit Wine before, they didn't know how strong it was. After drinking half of it, all four of them were already feeling the effects.
As a woman, Yan Jinye still had to maintain a certain level of decorum, so she left early.
The other four simply drank themselves into a stupor until dawn.
After they woke up, Chen Mobai packed a small jar for each of them to take away. E Yun and Yuan Chiye without hesitation, but Yue Zutao was a little embarrassed. He wanted to buy it with Spirit Stone but felt that the occasion was not appropriate.
"Senior Brother Yue, we can keep in touch more often in the future."
"Definitely, definitely. Junior Brother Chen, please come and sit in my courtyard whenever you have time."
The two have taken their first step in developing a friendship.
After seeing the guests off, Chen Mobai was about to go back to meditate and refine the effects of the alcohol in his body.
Suddenly, I saw Zhuo Ming sitting upright in the corner, her skin rosy and her whole body shrouded in mist, like Zhuo Ming in the clouds.
Liu Wenbai stood to the side, protecting his junior sister.
Chen Mobai glanced at it and immediately knew what was going on.
Zhuo Ming has broken through to the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.
Before she switched cultivation methods, she had already reached the sixth level of the Longevity Sutra. After studying under Chen Mobai for more than two years, she switched to cultivating the Earth Mother Sutra and finally broke through the bottleneck that had trapped her for so long.
It seems that last night, she drank half a cup of Second Grade Spirit Wine, and with her original reserves almost enough, it was a natural breakthrough.
Congratulations, junior sister.
When Zhuo Ming woke up, her rosy little round face was full of excitement, and Liu Wenbai waved to her.
"Senior Brother Xie, for protecting the Dharma. Thank you, teacher, for the wine."
Chen Mobai thought for a moment and realized that he seemed to have said something last night, telling his two disciples to also have a taste.
Liu Wenbai was, after all, at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer. He could refine the essence of the drink after meditating for a few cycles.
Zhuo Ming, however, took this opportunity to break through the bottleneck, which can only be described as having accumulated enough experience.
"You two should also have a jar of tea. Each time you cultivate, take a sip of the tea; it will be beneficial for you."
Chen Mobai pointed to the jar that still had a quarter of the wine left and said to his two apprentices.
The two did not refuse. Having personally experienced the effects of this Second Grade Spirit Wine, they naturally knew that it was better than any First Grade Pill.
"And those failed First Grade Jade Bamboo Spirit Wine are just right for you to consume long-term. Take two jars of each, and sell the rest at Little South Mountain Shop. It should be time to break even."
Since Chen Mobai was determined to become a major trader between the two realms, he had taken over a Talisman factory in the Immortal Sect, and naturally he also needed to have some businesses in the Sky River Realm.
It's time to start operating the Little South Mountain Shop, which we didn't pay much attention to before.
"Yes, Master."
After his two disciples received their orders, Chen Mobai then instructed his Senior Disciple, Liu Wenbai, who was about to participate in the Sect Grand Competition and had a good chance of becoming a true disciple this year. He imparted some Spell Duel experience to him.
Zhuo Ming hadn't signed up before because she was only at the Qi Cultivation Level 6 and was busy with the year-end harvest of Spirit Rice in Little South Mountain.
Although he has made a breakthrough, he has no confidence in the Spell Duel, and he doesn't listen attentively. He is single-mindedly thinking about how to make Little South Mountain Shop bigger and stronger.
