Volume 1: Tianyimen Chapter 55: Millennial Peach Blossom Brewing (2)
Fortunately, planting more than ten peach trees will not cause great damage to cultivation like Fang Buyi, so that it is difficult to cultivate the exercises for more than a month.
So Fang Buyi and Jiang Liu'er began to divide the labor to learn winemaking and planting.
To plant thousand-year-old peaches, we must first use special spiritual soil to lay out a piece of land. Then arrange a special formation on the land to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, nourish the peach tree, and prevent the invasion of demon insects.
There was also a large area of spiritual soil in Peach Blossom Ridge, but in the battle with the witch, it has become a wasteland. And the large array used to cultivate peach trees has also been completely destroyed.
To make a thousand-year-old peach blossom brew, not only peach blossoms are needed, but also a large amount of spiritual rice, and the higher the quality of peach blossoms and spiritual rice, the more mellow the taste of the wine.
Therefore, in addition to planting thousand-year-old peach trees, Jiang Liuer also needs to open up spiritual fields and plant spiritual rice.
When Jiang Liu'er prepared the peach blossoms and spiritual rice, Fang Buyi appeared.
Fang Buyi needs to refine the best wine-making tools, and only in this way can he make the best peach blossom wine.
Including the best pottery for cooking, the best Dakouzun for fermentation, the best leaky tank for straining wine, and the best pottery urn for storing wine. In addition to this, you need a good wine jar, wine glasses, and so on.

Now that the division of labor is clear, Fang Buyi and Jiang Liu'er began to act separately.
On this day, the two went to the Scripture Pavilion to find the books they needed.
Fang Buyi flipped through the sea of books for a morning, and finally found five books that he needed and was interested in. They are "The Essence of Tianyi Array Technique", "Taizu Refinery Pen Essentials", "Shenzhou Wine Vessel Record", "Famous Wine Chronicles", and "Hundred Methods of Immortal Brewing".
"The Essence of Tianyi Instrument Array Technique", written by the top refiners of the past dynasties, brings together the most exquisite instrument formation techniques of Tianyi Sect for thousands of years.
"Taizu Refining Instrument Brush" is a remnant book. The text is only more than ten pages, and it is the experience of Tianyi Ancestor Refining, although it is only a few thousand words, but it is broad and profound. Behind the text, there are hundreds of pages of notes, which are a play on the text by the heads of the past dynasties.
What interests Fang Buyi the most is that it records the refining method of the Five Elements Spirit Root Treasure Clothes. After Fang Buyi watched Grandpa Tao's battle, he has always been very interested in his treasure clothes. Now that I have discovered the refining method of the treasure clothes, of course I have to study it carefully.
"Shenzhou Wine Vessel Record" records the Shenzhou continent for thousands of years, all kinds of excellent wine-making, wine-keeping, drinking utensils, and their refining methods. From the first-level best wine tasting vessel to the ninth-level superb wine tasting vessel, everything is available.
"Famous Wine Journal" and "Hundred Methods of Immortal Brewing", the former records thousands of famous wines, and the latter records hundreds of clever winemaking techniques. After reading "Famous Wine Chronicles", Fang Buyi realized that warriors were different from monks, and they relied on wine to improve their realm, not pills.
With these five books, you can basically meet all the needs of Fang Buyi.
But when reading "Famous Wine Chronicles" and "Hundred Methods of Immortal Brewing", the names of many plants appeared in them, and Fang Buyi didn't know anything about them, so he had to find another set of "Grass and Trees" to read and check at any time.
This set of "Grass and Trees" has a total of more than 50 volumes, which records a variety of rare trees, exotic flowers and plants, including all kinds of elixir medicinal materials, poisonous weeds and poisonous flowers, fairy trees and spiritual trees, and so on. The description is detailed or omitted, and it is a grand view.
There are also some plants and trees that can be used as traps, weapons, materials for sword refining, etc., which makes Fang Buyi very interested.
Fang Buyi's heart moved, and he remembered that there was an inconspicuous two-story attic in Taohuawu, called the Grass and Wood Division, so he decided to take a look.
When I came to the Grass and Wood Division, I walked around and found that it was empty, and I couldn't help but be surprised. After searching for a long time, I found that there was a room connected to a large warehouse underground.
Fang Buyi came to the warehouse and found that thousands of seeds of plants and trees were stored in it, including trees, flowers, vines, seedlings, fruits, vegetables, etc., all kinds of things.
These seeds are stored in premium storage bags that will last for thousands of years. The amount of storage in each bag is staggering.
For example, the peach seeds that Jiang Liu'er needed were divided into more than 50 storage bags, and 100,000 peach seeds were stored in each bag, which was an extremely amazing amount. However, thinking that in the great battle with the witch, millions of peach trees were born at one time, so it can be seen that these seeds are not enough at all.
There was a seed the size of a hut, which was placed alone in the middle of the warehouse, without a name, which made Fang Buyi very curious. He had never seen such a huge seed in the Book of Plants and Trees.
These seeds are grayish-brown in color, and the epidermis still glows faintly in the dark. Fang Buyi could feel that this huge seed contained an incomparably huge amount of spiritual power.
Although he was curious, he looked at it for a while, but he couldn't see any doorway, so he didn't care anymore.
Fang Buyi selected more than 50 kinds of seeds of plants and trees that he was interested in, put them in his storage bag, and left the warehouse. These include more than a dozen rare herbs used to make koji.
In the next time, he was about to start learning the refining of wine vessels, so his interest in plants could only be put aside for the time being.

Jiang Liuer inadvertently turned to a copy of "Taoyuan Records", and saw that it was beautifully printed and liked it.
When I opened it, it turned out to be written by Grandpa Peach's daughter, Peach Blossom Fairy.
Jiang Liu'er was very curious and immediately read it.
It turned out that the Peach Blossom Fairy had managed the Pan Tao Garden for Tianyimen for more than 100 years.
She is gifted with intelligence, and she is good at thinking, and she humbly learns the planting techniques of her predecessors, and she has long been out of the blue. Under her management, the yield and quality of peach balls have been greatly improved. The head of the house at that time asked her to write a book to record her experience and pass it on to future generations.
In this "Peach Garden Record", the method of planting peach is recorded in detail.
Including the preparation of spiritual soil and spiritual fertilizer, the arrangement of the garden protection formation, as well as the care of peach trees, the protection of demon insects, etc., from beginning to end, everything is available.
There are a few short notes, and they also tell the story of several demon insects invading the peach orchard, including the demon blood borer transformed into the peach blossom witch.
It turns out that Pan Taoyuan is not peaceful, not only to beware of cultivators from other sects coming to steal and rob, but also to guard against all kinds of invading spirit beasts, demons, poisonous insects, strange snakes and so on.
Therefore, the disciples who manage the Pan Tao Orchard not only need superb planting skills, but also strong spells to resist all kinds of invaders.
It is best to be proficient in all kinds of extremely powerful formations. This will be able to resist a large-scale enemy invasion.
Like the Peach Blossom Ridge's Hundred Miles Peach Blossom Array, it is one of the powerful formations, but the Peach Blossom Witch occupies the Peach Blossom Fairy's soul, so it can be easily cracked, so in the battle of the witches, this array did not play any role.
However, at this moment, Jiang Liuer does not care about this kind of resort to force.
She found that the preparation of spiritual soil and spiritual fertilizer required several special soils, spiritual grasses, spiritual wood leaves, and the feces of spiritual beasts, and she didn't know anything about it, but she didn't know where to find such things.
