Chapter 969: Hanxiang Wine
Xuanyangzi's net worth was not rich, which could be seen from his relics, so he left a jade bottle with a storage function, which still surprised Fang Yang very much.
In fact, Fang Yang had long guessed that Na Ruoshui's predecessor and Xuanyangzi were not cultivators of the same era at all, Xuanyangzi's cultivation time was only a few hundred years ago, and at that time, the cultivation resources on the earth were already very poor, maybe among the few cultivators, a situation like Xuanyangzi's should be the norm.
And although Fang Yang has not yet found Ruoshui's predecessor's overseas cave mansion, she was only plotted by someone when she went out once, and she fled all the way, and the powerful treasures may have been consumed, but the things left behind still made Fang Yang feel that she had made a windfall.
The contrast between the two is very stark.
Even the Yuanying Monk of the same era as Xuanyangzi was unlikely to have such a rich net worth if he had saved zĂ i, so Fang Yang deduced that Ruoshui's predecessor should have been alive much earlier than Xuanyangzi.
And Xuanyangzi's storage jade bottle was obviously the more precious one among his relics, so Fang Yang subconsciously thought that it would also contain a more precious treasure, and it was very likely that it was the kind of spiritual liquid found in the Cave Mansion at the bottom of the pool.
However, the results of the investigation made Fang Yang a little crying and laughing.
The jade bottle is actually full of wine, and there are thousands of catties!
The wine gourd that Xuanyangzi carried with him, Fang Yang had also explored, it was an ordinary gourd, and decades had passed, and even if there was wine in it, it had already volatilized.
Unexpectedly, he specially made a storage jade bottle that stored the spiritual liquid and almost never deteriorated to put the wine, the purpose of which was naturally to facilitate the carrying and ensure the quality of the wine.
How good is this Xuanyangzi senior......
Qin Tian and Gu Ruoxi were also very curious when they saw Fang Yang's strange wry smile.
"Fang Yang, this ...... It's a storage weapon, right? Gu Ruoxi asked with some uncertainty, "Is there any spiritual liquid in it?" How many hundred pounds? â
Looking back, Ruoxi, a rookie in cultivating truth, had more vision than Qin Tian, and Qin Tian didn't know that this jade bottle was a magic weapon for storage. Of course, this has nothing to do with vision, it's just that Gu Ruoxi just happened to have seen this kind of magic weapon in the Tandi Cave Mansion.
Fang Yang nodded and said:
"It's indeed a storage weapon, but the contents are ......"
"Ahh What a storage weapon! Gu Ruoxi said happily.
Qin Tian couldn't help but ask:
"Uncle Shi, is it really the spiritual liquid that Miss Gu said?"
Fang Yang shook his head with a wry smile and said:
"Forget it, I'll pour some out, you can taste it for yourself!"
Try? Qin Tian and Gu Ruoxi almost collapsed, such a precious thing as spiritual liquid, of course, had to be used in cultivation, how could they just pour it out and drink it? Could it be that there was a lot of spiritual liquid in the jade bottle of Xuanyangzi's predecessor, and Fang Yang felt that it didn't matter if it was wasted?
Just when Qin Tian and Gu Ruoxi were puzzled, Fang Yang had already found three wine glasses from the storage ring, and then with a movement of his mind, he took out a wine liquid from the storage ring and filled all three wine glasses.
The wine flew into the glass like a rainbow, not a drop was spilled, and it was just a full glass. Fang Yang's precision in controlling the aura also made Qin Tian envious.
The amber liquor swayed slightly in the glass, and a rich aroma instantly filled the whole room, and I felt a slight drunkenness when I smelled it with my nose.
The three of them couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva at the same time, even Fang Yang was no exception.
Before, Fang Yang only knew that it was wine stored in it, and when he took it out, he found that this wine seemed to be a little different. Fang Yang has been a human being in two lifetimes, and in his previous life, he was a child of a wealthy family, what kind of wine has he not tasted?
But it was the first time he had seen such a strong aroma of fine wine.
The things left behind by this cultivator are really not ordinary! Fang Yang said in his heart.
"It's ...... Wine? Gu Ruoxi asked hesitantly.
"Uncle Shi, I seem to have seen this kind of wine from Master." Qin Tian said in shock, "However, the aroma of Master's wine is far less mellow, and the color is much worse than this. Master said that it was made from a spirit fruit called Hanxiang Fruit, and this kind of spirit fruit was planted in Peach Blossom Valley, but the yield was too small, so Master could only brew a few catties every year......
Hanxiang fruit, just listen to the name, you know that this kind of spirit fruit must be very fragrant, but I don't know what the effect is. Fang Yang said in his heart.
There is no doubt that the reason why Zhong Yue made this kind of wine must have been seen and tasted when he was cultivating with Xuanyangzi in this valley cave mansion, but it was only because he didn't have the time to brew it at home, so the wine he brewed was not so mellow.
Of course, there is another possible reason, that is, the wine in Xuanyangzi's storage jade bottle has been stored for at least several decades.
The wine is all about getting older and more fragrant.
Gu Ruoxi listened to Qin Tian's introduction, and the smell of wine came from her nose from time to time, and she couldn't help but say:
"Or ...... Shall we try it first? â
Fang Yang smiled and nodded, and said:
"Then try it! The spirit wine brewed by Xuanyangzi's predecessors is also exciting to think about! â
The three of them picked up the wine glass together, and when the glass was close to their noses, the rich aroma came to their noses, and the three of them took a sip in unison.
Suddenly, a sweet and mellow smell came from the tongue, and all the taste bud cells seemed to start cheering at this moment, and the sweet and fragrant feeling was simply fluttering.
After a sip of wine, from the mouth to the stomach, a warm feeling arose, and the whole person seemed to be a few taels lighter. If you have to find an appropriate metaphor, it's like the feeling of eating ginseng fruit described in "Journey to the West".
A feeling of endless aftertaste came to their hearts, and the three of them drank a glass of wine almost at the same time, and then slowly closed their eyes, savoring the sweet, fragrant, or clear flavors of the wine.
After a long time, the three of them opened their eyes.
The colors of the world seem to have become more vivid and layered. Even Fang Yang and Qin Tian, who had cultivation in their bodies, all felt a slight drunken dizziness, although it was very weak, but it was real and verifiable. And Gu Ruoxi showed a look of intoxication, and there was a hint of redness on her face.
"Good wine!" Fang Yang couldn't help but admire.
"Uncle Shi, this wine is much better than the fragrant wine I tasted in Peach Blossom Valley!" Qin Tian also said with an admiring look.
Fang Yang smiled slightly and said:
"Maybe this is the authentic Hanxiang wine, Senior Brother Zhong just learned a little bit from Xuanyangzi's predecessors......"
Qin Tianshen nodded approvingly.
Gu Ruoxi shook her little head and said with a hint of confusion:
"Fang Yang, this wine is so delicious...... I...... It's like flying into the sky......"
Then she said:
"You've got quite a few in this bottle! Hurry up, pour us a little more......"
Fang Yang says:
"Still drinking? You're almost a drunken cat now, and you'll have to get drunk on the spot if you drink again! â
"Pour me a little more! Don't be so stingy......" Gu Ruoxi grabbed Fang Yang's arm and said coquettishly while shaking it.
"Just a little! And don't ask for it again after drinking! Fang Yang said.
"Mmmmmm, hurry up, hurry up......" Gu Ruoxi nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice.
Fang Yang shook his head helplessly, took some fragrant wine from the jade bottle, and poured a small half cup for each person, if it was more, Gu Ruoxi might really be drunk and unconscious.
Qin Tian also loved this wine very much, but he didn't expect that after being stained with Gu Ruoxi's light, he also got half a cup, and he also hurriedly thanked the other party respectfully.
After the three of them drank this small half glass of wine, Fang Yang said:
"Okay, we've almost cleaned up the relics left by Xuanyangzi's predecessors. There is also a medicine garden in the back, I will find a few medicinal herbs that can be used, and leave the rest to Senior Brother Zhong to manage by himself. â
"Yes, Uncle Shi."
Then Fang Yang took Qin Tian and Gu Ruoxi to a small medicine garden of less than an acre behind the thatched house. The valley was full of spiritual energy, and the medicinal herbs planted by Xuanyangzi that year were growing well, and there were also many quite precious ones such as Xuanshen and Qinglin grass, but the years were still insufficient, so Fang Yang did not touch them.
He found a few medicinal herbs and put them in the storage ring, including purple sunflower pear, concentric lotus, condensation frost grass, etc., all of which were common medicinal materials that were not too valuable in the cultivation realm, but these medicinal materials were rare treasures in the world, and Fang Yang could use them to prepare some very practical pills to regulate the body and prolong life for relatives and friends.
At the back of the medicine garden, a large area is planted with a vine plant, densely crawling with wooden shelves. Qin Tian recognized at a glance that this was the Hanxiang fruit that Zhong Yue had planted in the Peach Blossom Valley.
At this time, the fragrant fruit has just ripened, and the dark purple fruits hang on the vines, looking like a purple ocean from afar, and you can smell the refreshing fragrance from afar.
Fang Yang was very interested in the kind of Hanxiang wine left by Xuanyangzi, and he was already a little addicted after drinking it once, and he also wanted to find time to study the brewing method Although in the jade bottle left by Xuanyangzi, there were thousands of catties of Hanxiang wine, but sitting and eating the mountain was empty, there would always be a day when he finished drinking, if he mastered the brewing method, there would be a steady stream of Hanxiang wine to drink in the future.
And if these fragrant fruits are not collected, they will naturally fall to the ground and rot into fertilizer, and bear fruit again the next year.
Therefore, Fang Yang was not polite, and took all these fragrant fruits and put them in the storage ring, ready to use them as experiments when he had time, and tried to make wine.
There were too many of these fragrant fruit trees, the area reached more than ten times the size of the medicine garden, Rao is Fang Yang cultivated profoundly, and it took more than an hour to finish picking the fruits, and this was when Qin Tian and Gu Ruoxi were also interested in helping.
After finishing his work, Fang Yang roughly calculated that there were more than 30,000 Hanxiang fruits.
At this point, the task of coming to the Xuanyang Relic Mansion was basically completed, and Fang Yang was ready to pack up and embark on the return journey.
When the three of them returned to the grass in front of the thatched hut, Fang Yang suddenly felt that the aura in his body, which was running slowly and spontaneously all the time, seemed to begin to undergo a subtle change......
