Greenwave Wine; Goldenflower Fish
The bamboo forest in late autumn looked unusually desolate.
On the emerald green bamboo leaves, there were still many traces of frost. As the autumn wind blew, some withered yellow bamboo leaves gradually danced in the air, one by one, constantly turning and falling.
In the pavilion, the five people gathered again. Unlike the previous time when it was raining in the spring, this time the weather was much clearer and the autumn air was crisp and refreshing.
The group was clearly in better shape, and their spirits were much higher.
Ye Jingteng broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, Ye Jingli inherited a new Spirit Beast, and Ye Xingyu, Ye Xingyu, and Ye Xingqun Ye Jingcheng could not tell, but their expressions were all even better.
Ye Jingteng kept taking out spiritual items: a copper wine pot filled with spiritual wine, two large bunches of Jade Pulp Fruit that he had taken out once before, and a two-foot-long Golden Flower Fish.
The spirit wine was unidentifiable, but its aroma wafted through the spout of the copper wine pot.
The Golden Flower Fish was even more unexpected.
It should be known that this kind of spirit fish is extremely famous within the Taiyi Sect. It has a golden-red appearance, is very large, and each scale is like a golden flower petal. Its flesh is delicate and contains a remarkable amount of Spiritual Qi.
It far surpasses the Red-Node Fish.
"Uncle Xingqun, after drinking your Green Bamboo Wine last time, I searched Taichang Market and found very few wines that could rival it in taste. So I had to resort to trickery and found this Blue Wave Wine. It is said to have come from the Cultivation World of the Qi Kingdom in the east. Drinking it is like seeing the ocean..." Ye Jingteng first introduced the spirit wine.
As for this Blue Wave Wine, everyone had heard of it; it was slightly more famous than Green Bamboo Wine.
However, not many are high-end. It's just that Green Bamboo Wine is said to contain bamboo snakes, while Blue Wave Wine evokes the vastness of the sea.
"Brother, this wine must be very expensive!" Ye Jingli couldn't help but ask.
"This wine is indeed a little more expensive than Green Bamboo Wine, but not by much, only forty Spirit Stone per pot!" Ye Jingteng replied.
Unlike Ye Jingli observing the spirit wine, Ye Xingyu looked at the Golden Flower Fish.
"Jing Teng, I've heard that Jade Dragon Pool raises Golden Flower Fish, and it seems the breeding results are quite good!"
"Uncle Xingyu, the sect is indeed raising Golden Flower Fish in Jade Dragon Pool, and the results are quite good. It has already shown initial success, and Illusion Peak has also received a considerable share. I am just benefiting from my master's success!" Ye Jingteng nodded.
This Golden Flower Fish is a mid-stage Tier 1 spirit fish; if it's raised to a large size, it can reach the late-stage Tier 1.
Each one is worth at least ten Spirit Stones.
Moreover, unlike the Red-Node Fish which simply has an excellent taste, the Golden Flower Fish also has the effect of condensing Spiritual Qi. Eating one of these fish is comparable to the effect of a elixir.
They are very popular among cultivators, but while the Ye Family can raise Red-Node Fish, they can never raise Golden Flower Fish.
Besides requiring specific Spirit Vein, these Golden Flower Fish don't feed on mayfly-like creatures in the pool, but rather on Golden Jade Spirit Rice.
The value of this Golden Jade Spirit Rice is even greater than that of the Green Wheat Spirit Rice.
Raising Golden Flower Fish means planting a large area of Golden Jade Spirit Rice.
Only the Taiyi Sect could afford such a grand gesture.
No wonder the Taiyi Sect had the Mo Family and Ye Family clean up all the Red-Node Fish that day.
Like the Red-Node Fish, this Golden Flower Fish is not very aggressive; it is just strong in the water.
Moreover, its reproductive capacity is far inferior to that of the Red-Node Fish.
If I had Red-Node Fish, the Golden Flower Fish might not be able to compete with the Red-Node Fish reproduces so quickly.
Ye Jingteng answered with a smile, then took out a wine pot and poured wine for each of the four people.
When pouring wine, Ye Xingyu and Ye Xingqun can sit, while Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingli must stand to receive it.
When a sip of the spiritual wine was poured into the cup, it indeed rippled with emerald waves and overflowed with Spiritual Qi.
Ye Jingli couldn't help but want to toast Ye Jingteng first, but Ye Jingteng preemptively raised his glass and toasted Ye Xingqun and Ye Xingyu:
"Let's all toast our two uncles first!" Ye Jingteng said.
Ye Jingcheng immediately responded, Ye Jingli blushed slightly and followed suit.
After the five people clinked glasses, they drank it down in one gulp. Unlike the Green Bamboo Wine, which is meant to be sipped slowly, this Blue Wave Wine was meant to be poured in one go.
Feel its bold and unrestrained spirit.
As the spirit wine went down his throat, Ye Jingcheng did indeed feel its surging power, which was very similar to the feeling of the sea. However, to say that he had actually seen the sea would be an exaggeration.
However, the Spiritual Qi is abundant.
It is indeed popular among monks who enjoy strong liquor.
As they drank, they gradually became more talkative.
However, it was almost always Ye Xingqun Ye Xingyu who kept asking about Ye Jingteng's situation within the sect.
Ye Jingteng wanted to ask about the situation of his uncles, but the question was glossed over, and he ended up drinking several more mouthfuls of wine.
After that, Ye Jingteng stopped asking questions.
She began to cook the Golden Flower Fish by hand, and took the initiative to invite Ye Jingcheng to help.
After all, Ye Jingcheng was Alchemist, and although He Ling Shan was also an amateur, he was at least well-versed in its pharmacology and cooking techniques.
Ye Jingcheng didn't hide his techniques at this moment, and cooked the Golden Flower Fish in one go.
It also gives the fish oil a golden color, a radiant glow, and a wonderful aroma.
As for speaking, he rarely does.
In his opinion, it's perfectly normal for Alchemist to be quiet.
After tasting the Golden Flower Fish, Ye Jingcheng indeed discovered that its Golden Flower Fish energy was quite pure.
As cultivators absorb purer Spiritual Qi, they naturally refine their own Spiritual Qi.
The fish meat is also extremely delicate, far superior to that of Red-Node Fish.
"By the way, Uncle Xingqun Uncle Xingyu, I've exchanged all the spiritual items you wanted to get!" Ye Jingteng said again, taking out one spirit jade box after another.
In the Cultivation World, jade boxes are divided into two types: one is white jade boxes, which are usually highly translucent, allowing one to clearly see the spiritual objects inside.
Besides that, there is the jade box, which is impossible to see through. Even Divine Sense has to break through a layer of protective array on its surface.
The barrier itself isn't difficult to break; the challenge lies in ensuring that the barrier remains intact after it's broken.
Therefore, unless one is not afraid of offending people, no one would use their Divine Sense to probe the jade box.
The jade box you see now is a jadeite box.
Moreover, Ye Jingcheng also has one.
Ye Xingyu and Ye Xingqun were the first to uncover it, and then immediately covered it up again.
His face didn't show any extra expression, which disappointed Ye Jingteng somewhat.
"Jing Teng, you're so kind. How much are these Spirit Stones? You're about to Foundation Establishment, your uncle can't let you down!" Ye Xingqun said. Ye Jingteng wanted to refuse, but still gave a number.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng also took his own jade box. When the box was opened, an Azure Snake Flower was clearly visible inside.
This Azure Snake Flower is different from ordinary spiritual flowers. Its roots and stems resemble the markings of a green snake, and the flower itself is sky blue, making it quite peculiar.
Judging from the size and Spiritual Qi of the flower, it is estimated to be a hundred years old, which perfectly matches the requirements of the main ingredient in the Jade-Scale Snake Advancement Pill!
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng could no longer remain indifferent.
"Brother, this spirit medicine is too precious!" Ye Jingcheng closed the jade box.
"It's just a few contribution points, no need to be polite. Besides, my brother has also found out the whereabouts of the Jade Beauty Fruit, but the contribution points..." Ye Jingteng didn't finish his sentence.
The meaning was clear: he wanted Ye Jingcheng and the others to accompany him to Five Poisons Peak.
"Don't worry, your two uncles will accompany you this time. We can't help you on ordinary days, but we can't refuse today. In the sect, without the help of our elders, remember to think more about yourself!" Ye Xingyu spoke first, seeing that Ye Jingcheng hadn't spoken yet.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingteng was overjoyed.
He didn't care much about Ye Jingcheng's Ye Jingli; what he really wanted was the Blackwood Ant.
At Five Poisons Peak, there is an abundance of miasma. The dark miasma not only affects Divine Sense but also visibility.
Poisonous insects can emerge if you're not careful.
Ye Jingcheng nodded repeatedly.
At this point, Ye Jingcheng had no choice but to go, even if he felt he had to.
Unless he doesn't want the Azure Snake Flower and the Jade Beauty Fruit he's about to obtain.
However, he didn't trust Ye Jingteng, but rather Ye Xingqun and Ye Xingyu!
The former has an army of Blackwood Ant, while the latter is First-Tier Superior-Grade Artifact Refiner; their methods are naturally not weak.
Moreover, Ye Jingcheng didn't believe his two uncles were unsure of themselves, given how readily they agreed.
This Ye Xingqun, capable of obtaining Blackwood Ant, must possess considerable knowledge of such venomous insect-infested areas.
"Let's prepare to depart in seven days, Jingcheng. Thank you for your hard work these past few days. Refine more Ice Clarity Pill, and also refine a few more Antidote Pills. I'll also refine a few more Sensing Magic Law Artifact!" Ye Xingyu instructed.
Hearing that Ye Xingyu had made such a well-organized arrangement, Ye Jingteng naturally agreed.
He felt more at ease, as if he had already anticipated that Foundation Establishment would be just around the corner.
Ye Jingcheng nodded. Although refining elixirs before the battle might have taken a toll on his mental energy, he knew that Ye Xingyu was trying to earn him more contributions so that he could get a bigger share of the treasures at the end.
After all, the Ye Family's policy has always been distribution according to work.
Moreover, this time, they organized themselves and were not required to hand over their Lineage treasures.
Ye Xingyu looked at Ye Jingli one last time and told him Ye Jingli follow him.
Ye Jingcheng also took out 460 Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag and handed them to Ye Jingteng.
This was no small sum. Although Ye Jingteng pretended to be reserved and refused at first, Ye Jingcheng declined a couple more times, and the latter brought up Taichang Market again.
If Ye Jingcheng has time to go to Taichang Market, he might be able to buy all the spirit medicine.
Ye Jingcheng nodded, indicating that he would definitely go and see it when he had time.
Taichang Market is a market directly under the Taiyi Sect, with many Foundation Establishment cultivators. It holds an auction every ten years, and every time a Purple Mansion cultivator appears. The grand auction every hundred years even Golden True Person appear, making it a truly grand event.
After saying goodbye to Ye Xingyu Ye Jingteng, and the others, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingli left together.
"Jingcheng, I also made one of these Spirit Talisman emitters for you. It would be great to put it in the belly of the Jade Ring Rat!" The two walked on the bluestone path of Soaring Cloud Peak.
Ye Jingli took out the Spirit Talisman transmitter that he had promised Ye Jingcheng, and it was significantly smaller than the transmitter of the Azure-Scaled Python.
After all, the Azure-Scaled Python was much larger than Ye Jingcheng's Jade Ring Rat.
"Thank you so much, Sixth Brother!" Ye Jingcheng also took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Ye Jingli.
Inside were five Azure Spirit Pills, a good choice whether Ye Jingli took them himself or gave them to his Spirit Beast.
