Li Rui is currently in the realm of a first-class master, and his original power is from the "Evil Sword Immortal" Situ Zhao's one-finger sword qi, so what he has learned is Situ Zhao's unique technique - Sacred Heart Technique.

"Sword Immortal" Situ Zhao is a humane figure who holds the bull's ear for the valve, and the sacred heart technique he practiced is passed down from the originator of the valve practice, the Kunpeng ancestor. It is the supreme divine skill created by the Kunpeng Ancestor who spent thousands of years to integrate the martial arts of ten thousand families and the blood characteristics of the ancient divine beast Kunpeng. It immortalizes the owner and raises the dead. It also contains several weird attack moves, the Heart Method, the Sacred Heart Four Tribulations.

After the Sacred Heart Recipe is first formed, the longevity increases greatly, but it takes at least a thousand years for the Sacred Heart Recipe to be practiced step by step to reach the peak realm of Dacheng, so for thousands of years, no one has been able to practice it to Dacheng.

Situ Zhao only learned one-tenth of the Sacred Heart Formula, and he had already become one of the top ten grandmasters, which shows the power of the Sacred Heart Formula.

In fact, if you practice the Sacred Heart Technique to the peak of Dacheng, you can obtain many abilities: immortality, eternal youth, non-aging, and can also become the incorruptible body of Vajra, and the deeper the cultivation, the more abilities will be stronger.

The Sacred Heart Recipe is divided into four realms, the Green Realm, the Yellow Realm, the Red Realm and the Purple Realm.

Now that Li Rui has reached the green realm, he has been drinking this bitter decoction continuously for three years, so that he can help himself improve rapidly. Although it is still only the lowest realm, it can use true qi, and the snake venom of the female doctor in the health room and Hou Xuening was all resolved by Li Rui in time to urge the true qi.

But every time the true qi ran out, Li Rui would feel prostration, and his entire body seemed to be hollowed out.

After the true qi is used up, although he can reunite the true qi, if he reaches the red realm, the true qi will be endless, and it can also make his grade go to the next level.

It's just that it's not easy to reach the Red Realm, although the Sacred Heart Technique only has four realms, but it is difficult to cross between each realm, and without the correct cultivation method, you can't move forward half a step at all. And the later it is, the more difficult it is to cultivate, and the more esoteric it is, so that after Situ Zhao has practiced to the Red Realm, he has only comprehended one-tenth of it.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Li Rui went down the mountain, and Hou Xuening had been following him from east to west, and he was not afraid of his family's worries.

The two of them didn't talk all the way down the mountain, which made Hou Xuening secretly unhappy in her heart, thinking that although her grandfather didn't deal with Mao Buyi, she didn't offend him, so why did she ignore people like this.

The more Hou Xuening thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, she followed Li Rui with a pout, and wanted to talk to Li Rui several times, but she didn't know how to tell him when she opened her mouth.

"Do you want to come home with me? It's all at the entrance of the village. ”

Li Rui turned his head to look at Hou Xuening with some annoyance, and asked in a cold voice unceremoniously.

Hou Xuening held her head high and muttered: "I love to take that road, just take that road." ”

Li Rui was speechless, this Hou Xuening really looked like a fart.

Follow it, follow it, this road in the village is not Li Rui alone.

As soon as he entered the intersection of the village, Li Rui saw an oncoming villager.

"Yo, it's Li Rui, where did this come from?"

"On the mountain, pick some grass to feed the ducks."

Li Rui now doesn't want the people in the village to know about the fact that he is now collecting and refining medicine.

The villager smiled and said, "Good boy, huh? Isn't this Hou Delin's granddaughter, what's wrong with you? ”

Li Rui paused for a moment, looked back at Hou Xuening who was following Li Rui, and saw that Hou Xuening's clothes were a little untidy and her hair was messy, and he immediately looked at Li Rui with suspicious and angry eyes.

Li Rui wanted to go home quickly and get rid of this follower, but when he saw the eyes of the villagers, he immediately knew that he was thinking too much.

"Uncle, don't think about it......"

At this time, Hou Xuening paused for a moment and glanced at Li Rui, she was not less angry all afternoon, and he didn't care how to talk to Li Rui.

Just took this opportunity to tease him, Hou Xuening didn't answer, suddenly covered his face, and ran home with a whimper.

"Hey, Hou Xuening, don't run......"

Li Rui didn't expect her not to explain, but ran away crying.

When the villagers saw this scene, they trusted their judgment even more, although Li Rui told him about the process and thrill of meeting Hou Xuening on the mountain, but even if he explained it, people didn't believe it at all.

Li Rui didn't bother to explain, he was not afraid of shadows, as long as Hou Xuening didn't open his mouth to slander him.

Li Rui didn't take this matter to heart, and when he returned home, the sixth aunt had already prepared dinner, and Mao Buyi greeted: "Li Rui, let's have two cups?" ”

Mao Buyi suddenly shouted that he was drinking, and Li Rui suddenly thought of the medicinal wine he wanted to prepare.

"Old village chief, you give me the wine, I will add some good things to it, after you drink it, it will have a health care effect."

Li Rui is still embarrassed to say what kind of medicinal wine he wants to brew, otherwise he will definitely be scolded.

The news that Li Rui and Hou Xuening returned to the village soon spread, and the rumors quickly spread in the village.

However, Hou Xuening's grandfather Hou Delin really has no reputation in the village, and as a talking point after dinner, the freshness has passed in three or five days, and there is not much malice towards Li Rui.

It is a unique habit for people in the village to talk about the shortcomings of the east and the west, and there are not many interesting things in the countryside, and whoever catches a big fish or hunts a wild boar can quickly become news.

The next day, the weather was good, the sun was beautiful and the wind was clear, Li Rui took the fishing rod and a small bucket, and prepared to go fishing in the river outside the village.

Followed by two golden little pups, the two puppies have only been more than a month, but after drinking the herbs concocted by Li Rui for a few days, the small body is swishing and growing, full of energy, and can already bark clearly.

"Come on, big Wang."

"Wow! Woo ......"

The two dogs were meaty, like two small whirlwinds, following Li Rui's feet, biting his trouser leg from time to time, complaining that he was walking too fast.

"If you make any more trouble, I'll put you in a cage! No food, no drink! Li Rui thought they were in the way, and threatened sternly.

Not to mention, as soon as the two puppies heard his reprimand, they immediately became honest, whined twice, and obediently followed behind.

As soon as I arrived at the river, I smelled the pure aroma of grain wine.

"It smells so good!"

There is a ferry port in Guicun, and there is a winery by the ferry, which is famous in ten miles and eight towns. It was the ninth master who opened the winery, who was good at making wine and made a living from it. There are eleven villages in Huichuan Town, and there are also winemakers in other villages, but the craftsmanship is far from the same as Jiuye, and you can distinguish between the superior and inferior by drinking a sip of brewed wine.

The ninth master's name is Mao Fu, and Mao Buyi is the same clan, ranking the ninth, so the village calls him the ninth master. Jiu Ye is a little hunchbacked, his body is very burly, and he is shirtless in the spring, and he is still sweating hot. Just take the steamed small sorghum out of the pot, cool it for a while, sprinkle the Daqu powder, ferment it for a certain time, and distill it in the pot to make wine. Although the steps are simple, each step is the result of years of experience, and if there is a slight mistake in any step, the taste of the puree will be different.

"Ninth Master, you've been in good health lately, but don't be tired, with your old skills, you should accept a few more apprentices, so you don't have to work too hard."

"Business has not been good in the past two years, and no one wants to accept apprentices." The old man lit the dry tobacco stick, took a few puffs, and his expression was a little sad.

"How can business be bad? Jiuye's craftsmanship is the first in Huichuan Town, I see that the old village chief only likes to drink the small five grains and pure sorghum wine brewed by Jiuye, and he also said that he will not change it for Moutai. ”

Someone praised the good wine, and the old man suddenly became happy: "Haha, Mao Lao Er is good for this sip." Well, you can bring him a few more jars of ten-year-old Tibetan wine. The place at home is so big, and this wine is getting harder and harder to hide. The liquor shops in the town learned how to blend from the outside, using some inferior liquor with flavors and fragrances, and selling them at low prices, squeezing out the real old liquor I brewed to the point that there was no market. If I didn't take care of the tastes of my old friends, I wouldn't have planned to store wine, and I would have sold new wine directly, which would have saved me worry and trouble, and there was no backlog of costs. ”

Hearing the Ninth Master say this, Li Rui's heart suddenly moved. Don't have a place to store alcohol? Hiding too long to accumulate costs? Why don't I take the wine of the Ninth Master and make medicinal wine?

"Well, great idea!" Thinking of this, a smile suddenly bloomed on Li Rui's face.

"Li Rui, you didn't break your head, did you? Okay, why are you giggling? The old man asked with some concern.

Li Rui hurriedly replied: "Ah, it's okay, it's okay, it's just that I suddenly thought of a way, I have a friend who does a bulk wine business in a big city, and he has high requirements for the quality of wine, if this wine can be recognized by him, the sales of wine in the future will not be worried." ”

"What? Can the boss of the big city outside take a fancy to our local wine? These three pieces of new wine for five yuan and one pound can't be put on the table, right? Even this old wine, which has been cellared for several years, only sells for about 20 yuan in the town. "The ninth master was very surprised, and in addition to the accident, he was also a little unconfident.

"Ninth Master, don't worry, businessmen are profit-seeking, and if they don't make money, they won't do it." The people in the mountains are too conservative, thinking that a pound of wine is a lot of money, who knows that the black-hearted wine merchants outside have fried the liquor into a luxury product, and a bottle of packaged liquor is often hundreds of yuan, like Moutai Wuliangye and the like, tens of thousands of bottles are very common.

"Okay, okay, if this business is done, the ninth master will not worry about running out of wine for the rest of your life. Huzi, don't be busy in the wine cellar, hurry up and pour a bottle of each wine out for samples, Li Rui is going to introduce big business to our family! "The ninth master has a relatively impatient personality, and when he hears the good news, he can't wait for a moment, and he has to fill the wine on the spot.

Li Rui wiped his cold sweat secretly, thinking that fortunately, the price of Jiuye's wine was very cheap, if it was a little more expensive, his savings would not be enough, it seemed that he had to make money quickly, otherwise he would not be able to live in the mountain village.

Da Wang and Xiao Wang are flirting with the big flower dog at the entrance of the wine cellar, because the big flower dog is leashed, the movement is inconvenient, the speed can not catch up with the two dogs, only angry loudly roaring, feeling that dignity has been provoked.

"It turned out to be Li Rui." Huzi poked his head out of the cellar door and greeted Li Rui.

Huzi's big name is Mao Dahu, a big man inherited from the family, with dark and oily skin, and a smile reveals a neat white tooth.

"Brother Huzi, you should be busy first, there is no hurry in this matter, after putting the wine in a small bottle, label it, so that I can distinguish which price of wine it is." Li Rui responded with a smile and brought the two puppies back to prevent them from being naughty.

"Good difference, there are three kinds of small sorghum wine, low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, Wuliang wine is also three grades, as for corn wine, people in the city outside must not be used to drinking it, too rushing, burning their throats. There weren't many wines left in that vintage, so they didn't bottle them, right? "After graduating from Huzi Middle School, he has been in a mountain village and has never been to a city outside, and his personality is relatively straightforward.

The Ninth Master reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "Then so much nonsense, if you are told to pretend, you will pretend!" There are two types of vintages, five-year-old and ten-year-old, which are all of the best high-end wines, and the other vintages are not representative. There is no aged fragrance for less than five years, and no charm for less than ten years. For more than ten years, there is no place to put it at home, and the storage cost is too high, only a little bit, keep it for your own people to drink. ”

Li Rui was still in a hurry to fish, and after listening to the brief introduction, he said: "Okay, let's do it first, send it to my house after it is installed, I still have a plaster bandage on my left hand, and I can't bring it." ”

"Don't worry, you worry about us, why will you be burdened. Go, go, catch a big fish, and the ninth master will make you bean drum and spicy fish to drink. We have been drinking the best wine for more than ten years. ”

"Ninth Master, this is what you said, let's not regret it, haha......" As soon as he heard that there was good wine, Li Rui's saliva was about to come out.

At this time, it was mid-noon, and everyone in the village had gone to the field to do farm work, and finally no one stopped Li Rui from talking.

Find a place with a gentle slope, move the block and sit there, skillfully test the depth of the water, put on the bait, and throw the hook to go down the water.

This river is more than 30 meters wide, wide and narrow at different bends, and is divided into countless small tributaries, the real source Li Rui does not know, but it is said that it is in the deep mountains. There is a natural lake on Lotus Peak in the depths of the mountain, which is said to have something to do with the river.

Barking! Barking...... The two puppies chased the butterflies in the wildflowers on the shore, playing very happily, and after a while, their mouths were stained with grass and mud, and they ran back to Li Rui's side with their tongues out, rubbing affectionately on his legs.
