Chapter 217: Twin Siamese

Chen Jing and Liu Fei'er returned to the cave mansion, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw that the vines on the gourd shelf were all dried up, and there was a gourd with a faint treasure hanging under the dead vines.

"Chirp!"

"Meow!"

The chicks and kittens ran over first, looking around the gourd.

Chen Jing and Liu Fei'er approached the gourd shelf, the gourd hanging under the dead vine was yellow, less than a foot long, the lower belly was flat and round, the upper belly was long and round, and there was a layer of white light on the gourd, and the white light was a little yellow.

"What kind of gourd is this?"

Liu Fei'er asked, this is a high-grade gourd, I don't know what it is for.

"It's a wine gourd, it's very valuable."

Chen Jing smiled and gently took off the gourd, took the gourd in his hand and looked at it carefully, the shape of this wine gourd is the most common gourd, and the color and light on it are not surprising.

Many of the gourds used by mortals are filled with wine, but wine gourds are rare in the Heavenly Illusion Gourd, and Chen Jing only harvested an ordinary wine gourd before.

The longer the wine is put into the ordinary "wine gourd", the more mellow the flavor becomes, and the newly brewed liquor will be as mellow and fragrant as aging after a few days of putting it into the wine gourd.

There are many monks with good wine in the world of cultivating immortals, immortal cultivators with good tea like Ganquan gourd, and immortal cultivators with good wine like wine gourd, the problem is that wine gourd is rarer than Ganquan gourd, so the price is higher.

As for the high-grade wine gourd, according to the records in the relevant jade slips, the spirit wine will not only become more mellow in taste, but also enhance the spiritual effect of the wine.

A little bit of enhancement doesn't sound like much, but it's a lot to put on the precious spirit wine.

For example, Golden Cherry Fruit Wine, the spirit wine brewed from twenty golden cherry blossom fruits is packed into this gourd, and after a period of time, the effect of the spirit wine may be equivalent to brewing out of twenty-one golden cherry fruits, which is equivalent to earning one more golden cherry fruit.

"Chirp!"

When Xiao Lei heard that this gourd was used to hold wine, he immediately became interested and squeezed next to Chen Jing and stretched out his head to take a look.

"If the spirit wine is put into this gourd, the spiritual effect will be enhanced."

Chen Jing handed the gourd to Liu Fei'er.

"That's good."

Liu Fei'er also thought of golden cherry fruit wine.

Of course, this wine gourd is kept for personal use, and the ordinary wine gourd harvested before, Chen Jing should also keep it, and it is good to hold ordinary purple jade wine, or purple jade spirit wine.

Xiao Lei and Mango followed Liu Fei'er to look at the wine gourd, Chen Jing came to another gourd stand to take a look, the gourd vine on the shelf was the one that had bloomed and pedicled the female flower, and now the flowers had withered and produced a small gourd.

But the little gourd is a little strange, because it is a juxtaposition flower, and the two small gourds that bear it are close to each other at the beginning, and now they are growing together, and Chen Jing doesn't know if this is a gourd or two gourds.

Now it can be seen that this conjoined gourd is two small gourds growing together, and the attributes of these two small gourds are different.

The "qi" of a small gourd is green and white, which should be a wood attribute, while the "qi" of another small gourd is blue and white, which should be a water attribute.

Water and wood are born together, although these two attributes are different, but they are not bad, Chen Jing can't guess what kind of attribute the conjoined gourd that grows in the end will be and what use it will be.

Producing this twin conjoined gourd can be said to be creation, and Chen Jing doesn't know if this conjoined gourd can mature in the end.

The sun rises and the moon sets, the flowers bloom, the conjoined gourd under the shelf grows day by day, and the traces of the twin gourds slowly fade away.

Three years later, one afternoon, in the courtyard shrouded in giant trees.

Chen Jing stood in front of a gourd stand, and under the green shade hung a gourd more than a foot long, the gourd was green in color, and there was a layer of misty blue light on it.

This gourd looks a bit chunky, but other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.

But Chen Jing knew that this was the peculiar conjoined gourd, but after three years, there was no trace of conjoined gourd left.

Judging from the Qi Technique, the "qi" on the gourd is mainly cyan, followed by aqua blue, and finally a little white, the harmony and nature of the three colors impregnated with each other, not cluttered, Chen Jing felt that this was a sign of the complete integration of the conjoined gourd.

This gourd vine has been cultivating the Qingdi Immortal Sutra with Chen Jing, and the conjoined gourd has been growing for more than three years, which is equivalent to more than thirty years of normal growth.

It stands to reason that it should be a top-grade gourd that needs forty years of maturity, or even a legendary-level Heavenly Illusion gourd that needs eighty years of maturity.

But a few months ago, this conjoined gourd had stopped growing, and by last night, when he was cultivating the Blue Emperor Immortal Sutra with Chen Jing, the aura fed back from the gourd vine suddenly decreased, which was a sign that the gourd was about to mature.

It is now the third year after the gourd flowers have withered, and the time is not up or down, Chen Jing feels that it may be two situations.

One is that the two twin gourds originally took 20 years to mature, but after they were fused into one gourd, the time was correspondingly extended, becoming more than 30 years of maturity.

Another situation is that the two twin gourds originally needed forty years to mature each, but the gourd vine could not afford to supply the twin gourds, so the gourd stopped growing early and was about to die halfway.

Chen Jing couldn't say which situation, but the gourd vine and gourd have been growing very well, and the conjoined gourd is quite big now.

Judging from these two signs, he is more inclined to the first case, the two small gourds of the twins originally needed twenty years to mature each, and after they grew together, because it took time to accumulate nutrients and completely fuse, they grew for more than thirty years before they matured.

It's going to be clear in the next few days, Chen Jing walked back to the small pavilion, made a pot of tea, and drank it slowly.

Over the years, he has planted a lot of gourds, even if Chen Jing is pregnant with the Blue Emperor Immortal Sutra and has the secret technique of Wanmu Chaochun Jue, the Heavenly Illusion Gourd planted has also died a few.

When the gourd dies, it looks similar to the normal Heavenly Illusion gourd when it matures, and the gourd vine withers quickly, but the gourd is dull and dull, and there is a problem when it looks at it, unlike a mature gourd, which can be seen to be a treasure at a glance.

Chen Jing sat in the small pavilion, drank tea, and took out a Taoist book to read.

The fragrance of tea wafts out, like an orchid, this tea is a specialty of Tianchi Mountain, I asked for it from Gu Jun, and it tastes good, but it is not the best cloud crane tea in Tianchi Mountain.

After a while, Liu Fei'er, who was carrying a sword, walked into the courtyard, she greeted Chen Jing, sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea and drank it all.

The courtyard was very quiet, Liu Fei'er sensed it, looked around again, and confirmed that the little beasts were not there.

Only then did she take out a small gourd that looked like it was carved from jadeite, and she poured dozens of drops of jade dew accumulated in the jade dew gourd into the cup, and then raised her glass to drink the droplets of water.

"Fortunately, the little ones are not there, otherwise they would have watched with a blank eye and would be embarrassed not to give them a drink."

Liu Fei'er saw a smile on her senior brother's lips and explained casually.
