Chapter 56: Drunk with Spirit Wine and Green Ganoderma
"Afraid, what's going on?"
Just now, when the Jindan cultivators attacked Black Lake Island, the Li family evacuated in an orderly manner. Although there was panic, they still maintained some discipline. But what happened now that made the head of the Li family lose his composure?
Li Ren presented a letter sword to Wei Zhong, and his expression changed after he took it and checked the contents inside.
"The ancestor of the Yan family succeeded in forming a pill a few days ago, and the Yan family was overjoyed. However, Yao Zhengsheng, the young leader of the Qingmu Sect, visited him and sparred with him. He was defeated in a duel. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce to mediate, the ancestor of the Yan family would have died in the duel."
Wei Zhong also understood why Li Ren was in a panic.
The ancestor of the Yan family succeeded in forming the elixir, so there is now a third elixir-forming force in Mangyuan Prefecture.
Hanzhu City is too far away and is mainly composed of independent cultivators, so it cannot affect the vast territory of Qingmu Sect.
The Yan family, Li family and other families were all foundation-building families that had previously made a living under the Qingmu Sect. Now that the ancestor of the Yan family had successfully formed a pill, it was equivalent to breaking the Qingmu Sect's absolute rule over this area.
So he took action without hesitation, intending to kill him and allow the Yan family to regain the strength to build a foundation.
However, the emergence of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce disrupted this arrangement. From then on, there were two local Jindan forces in the area, and they were in a hidden hostile relationship.
The Foundation Building Family caught in the middle will be caught in a dilemma.
"Senior Chu, what should my Li family do?"
Li Ren looked at Wei Zhong in panic. Even before his family was taken over by villains, his face had never looked so uneasy.
Wei Zhong also frowned. He had no experience in such major matters. The future of countless people in the Li family was involved, so he could not make any rash conclusions.
As an old Jindan sect, Qingmu Sect is definitely very powerful. But as a puppet supported by Yunji Chamber of Commerce, Yan Family is not simple either.
No matter what choice is made, it is not suitable for the Li family.
In this regard, Wei Zhong could only return the sword to him:
"Master Li, this matter still needs to be discussed by the Li family. It is not appropriate for an outsider like me to interfere."
After saying this, Wei Zhong turned and left, and a hint of regret appeared in Li Ren's eyes.
Although Wei Zhong was a guest official of the Li family, it was just a figurehead and he did not receive any compensation for this guest official position.
Wei Zhong personally paid the wages for the spiritual farmers and other positions on Black Lake Island, and the spiritual plants and other items were also purchased from the Li family.
Strictly speaking, Wei Zhong owes nothing to the Li family.
Li Ren wanted to get Wei Zhong onto the Li family's chariot with just a few words to deal with the battle between the Jindan forces. This was a bit wishful thinking, and the Li family was not qualified.
After sending Li Ren away, Xie Linghua came forward:
"Master, some people want to resign from the affairs on Black Lake Island..."
"Then pay them their wages and let them go. This will help lighten the burden on Black Lake Island. Also, if any of the maids in your charge want to leave, send them away as well."
"Yes, sir."
Wei Zhong was not surprised by this situation. When a Jindan cultivator came to attack, even a foundation-building cultivator would be afraid, not to mention a Qi-refining cultivator. It is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid danger, and Wei Zhong did not blame these people.
I returned to the practice room again, but I no longer had the heart to practice.
Too many things have happened recently, and each one is big enough to cause changes in the local situation.
The bloody body of the Blood Sea True Lord is desperate, and I wonder what is happening in Hanzhu City? Will it affect Black Lake Island?
And the Yan family,
Wei Zhong never expected that the small foundation-building family he lived in decades ago could actually produce a Jindan master. Although it was the result of the promotion of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, it was enough to surprise Wei Zhong.
It is not so easy to form a pill. One pill of dust-reducing pill can successfully form a pill. The Yan family has hidden a lot. However, even if it is promoted to a family of forming a pill, its future life may not be easy.
When he was building his foundation, he was servile to the Qingmu Sect. After he reached the stage of Dan formation, he became a puppet and a pawn in the struggle between the Yunji Chamber of Commerce and the Qingmu Sect.
However, as a Yuanying force, how did the Yunji Chamber of Commerce control the Qingmu Sect in a roundabout way? Is there a hidden secret that I am not aware of?
Wei Zhong couldn't help but shake his head in annoyance.
"Don't think about it. It's better to practice hard and form the elixir as soon as possible. No matter what kind of fight, I will just stay away from it when I have the strength to protect myself."
You can't just practice blindly anymore, you have to learn other skills as well.
Especially for wine making, Qingzhizui is about to start brewing. If it is successfully refined, it can be used as a substitute for Heqi Pill to speed up one's own practice.
There are other spiritual wines as well. Qingluozui should be upgraded to the second level as soon as possible. Even if it is not exposed, it is good to drink it yourself to improve your strength.
······
Wei Zhong came to the Ganoderma lucidum clusters in the cave. After more than a year of cultivation, thanks to the abundant flesh and blood of spirit fish and the rich spiritual energy in the cave, the growth of the carnivorous Ganoderma lucidum was very gratifying.
It can be used for brewing. Although the age is not high, it does not affect Wei Zhong's use of it to gain experience.
He picked a few of the oldest plants and started the first round of brewing. At the same time, he asked Xie Linghua to collect some high-year spiritual medicines and began to research the upgrade of Qingluozui.
Another year passed quickly. Wei Zhong took out the Qingzhizui he had just brewed and frowned after drinking it.
"It's too light. The spiritual energy contained in one pound of this wine is probably not as good as that of a low-grade nourishing pill. This is because the Ganoderma lucidum Wei Zhong used is too young."
However, the experience accumulated over the years is enough for me to try brewing a higher level of Qingzhizui.
[First-level Spiritual Wine Brewing·Mastery (9%)]
For a year, Wei Zhong was obsessed with brewing spiritual wine. He not only brewed Qingzhizui many times, but also tried the spiritual wines from several other recipes.
Although he was not able to brew any second-level spirit wine, he pushed the skill of brewing first-level spirit wine to the mastery level.
The next step is to use the Jadeite Ganoderma to try the second-level Green Ganoderma Intoxication.
Next to the rotten spiritual tree in the cave, Wei Zhong carefully counted the Ganoderma lucidum on it. There were two that were more than five hundred years old, nine that were between three hundred and five hundred years old, and as many as thirteen that were less than three hundred years old.
Wei Zhong hardened his heart, picked two flowers that were more than 300 years old, and began the first round of attempts to brew the second-level Qingluozui.
As expected by Wei Zhong, all the first rounds failed.
Wei Zhong was cleaning the wine pool while summing up the gains and losses.
The brewing of spiritual wine is different from that of ordinary wine. It requires the coexistence and mutual catalysis of the spiritual energy of various spiritual objects, among which the alcohol concentration is secondary.
It looks closer to alchemy.
Compared to alchemy, the advantage of spiritual wine is that it saves the loss during the process and forms a liquid that is easiest for cultivators to absorb.
The efficiency of refining spiritual wine is much higher than that of refining elixirs.
While thinking about it, he picked two more three hundred year old chalcedony ganoderma and started brewing again.
This time it seemed to be God's blessing, or it was Wei Zhong's accumulation of experience. Although there were some setbacks in the process, he succeeded in the end.
Today’s second chapter will be gone in the afternoon.
