278 Out of Tianyan City, Guardian Spirit Beast
More than 50 days have passed in a flash.
In the Jiannan Spring Wine Workshop.
Chen Ping picked up the newly brewed spirit wine.
The liquor is white and pure, and there is no trace of impurities in sight.
Just by holding it up, there is a wisp of fragrance wafting in, not the kind of rich incense, but a faint mellow fragrance, refreshing people's hearts.
Chen Ping took a sip gently, the jade liquid was sweet in the mouth, the aftertaste was lingering, and the teeth and cheeks were fragrant, which made people have an endless aftertaste.
Not bad.
Xiyue Fairy, this girl is very good at enjoying it.
I thought she was an alcoholic.
What kind of wine is this?
It's a jade liquid.
In the past few months, Chen Ping has mastered the winemaking technique to "proficient: 1/1000", and at this level, it has already brought out an extremely attractive side of this nameless wine.
This will only taste better when it comes to "experts" and "grandmasters".
Of course, even the "Mastery" level is already a leader in the current market.
There are few who can stand out from the crowd.
This wine is not far from the threshold of "nameless wine".
Maybe soon.
"Xiaohong, take it out and water the spirit plant for Madame." Chen Ping handed the liquor to Xiaohong.
Over the past few months, Yu Lingchun unexpectedly discovered that this kind of wine actually has a certain effect on the cultivation of spiritual plants.
Chen Ping knew that it was only after being close to "mastery" that the effect of wine. The previous wines had no such value.
So I simply used it to water the spiritual plant.
It's also a good use.
For him, this is still 'fake wine, level, not a real nameless wine, it is only delicious at present, but it has not yet improved the effect of physical fitness, nor has it reached the taste of the Xiyue Fairy, it is not a drunken fairy flower, and he naturally will not drink it himself.
To drink, and to drink the last 'real wine,'
"Yes, Master." Xiaohong immediately came over.
"Do you have any questions?"
"No, my lord, I don't have any doubts." Xiaohong said solemnly.
Hehe, it works.
It seems that Xiaohong understands the moral of the scriptures.
He has always liked to convince people with virtue.
Chen Ping walked out of the Jiannanchun Wine Workshop, moving his muscles, and saw Ling Daoyou, a neighbor opposite, standing in front of his own wine shop, looking at the spirit loquat tree with a black face and snorting coldly, while another Taoist friend left jokingly.
"Ling Daoyou, what's wrong?" Chen Ping walked over and asked with a smile.
Brother Ling's face was dark, and he snorted coldly:
"Hmph, what do they know? Hmph...... this is called, hmph."
Chen Ping saw that he hummed for a long time and didn't come up with a good word, and said with a smile:
"This is called: The Ambition of the Bird?"
Hearing this, Brother Ling's eyes lit up, as if he suddenly brightened, this time the words simply fit his state of mind:
"Yes, yes, what Chen Daoyou said is very true. That's what Brother Ben meant."
Monk Ling's eyes flickered.
Hmph, those monks tasted it shallowly, gave up after a year or two of unsuccessful winemaking, and were embarrassed to laugh at him.
What about a loquat tree when it grows? It's a big deal to plant another one.
Chen Ping raised his eyebrows and smiled:
"Ling Daoyou, do you want to say: Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people to be poor."
Brother Ling suddenly felt short of breath.
That's right.
This sentence is so true.
Chen Daoyou understands me.
This sentence is a sentence he has always wanted to express, but he can't ask for it because of the lack of words.
"Chen Daoyou, this is very true." Brother Ling said excitedly.
He felt that Chen Ping was his bosom friend.
At this time, Shen Jiudi walked out, and Brother Ling restrained his smile and snorted and went back to the house.
"Ling Daoyou, what's wrong?" Shen Jiudi asked Chen Ping. He looked at Brother Ling
figure, I feel inexplicable, I haven't offended him.
"Probably enlightened, right?" Chen Ping said indifferently.
Enlightenment?
The corners of Shen Jiudi's mouth twitched a few times, but he always felt that there was a bit of pride in Monk Ling's expression.
Shen Jiudi retracted his gaze and said with a smile:
"Chen Daoyou's Jiannanchun Wine Shop has been open for half a year, but it's rare to see Chen Daoyou come out. What's going on? Did the drunken fairy flower ever have eyebrows?"
In the past six months, there have been some exchange drinks between peers from time to time, and Shen Jiudi has participated in it every time, but he has never seen Chen Ping.
But each monk has his own style of doing things, although he is very optimistic about Chen Ping's closed-door work, but he didn't say anything.
"I guess I barely got into the way of sake brewing. There are so many things to practice, and there is not enough time, so I don't go out much." Chen Pingdao.
"Yes. This drunken fairy flower is not as good as ordinary wine, there are many mysteries, just talking about that technique, it is not easy to practice, I have been practicing for almost three years and I still feel that I have not mastered the most difficult method. Harm, Chen Daoyou doesn't have to rush, it's only been half a year, take your time. Although we often make fun of Ling Daoyou, that perseverance is what we need to admire." Under Shen Jiudi's relaxed tone, a look of helplessness loomed.
"Indeed, how can it be done overnight? It takes a lot of perseverance." Chen Ping said with a smile.
That being said, he really didn't put much effort into making wine.
It's easy to get in the door.
The journey was also very smooth.
During this period, even the cultivation did not fall too far.
"yes." Shen Jiudi said. After a moment's hesitation, he asked:
"Chen Daoyou is also here for the sake of Taoist couples, right?"
Seeing that Chen Ping did not deny it, Shen Jiudi sighed in his heart:
"Don't tell you the truth, so am I."
"My path is limited, and I know that my qualifications are not good, and it is impossible to get married, and it is a blessing to be able to enter the foundation building. The only hope in this life is to walk through this life hand in hand with Taoist couples. I never thought about it...... It's okay not to mention it."
"Chen Daoyou has to have expectations, this road is not easy to walk."
「……」
Chen Ping couldn't answer this, he knew that Shen Jiudi's state as a lady seemed to be very bad, although he didn't know what her hidden illness was, but this road was really not easy to walk.
Of course, it's for others to be uncomfortable.
For him, it's easy to walk.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little heavy, Chen Ping changed the topic and said:
"By the way, in the recipe and process of the drunken fairy flower, it is better to mention fresh and high-grade spiritual materials. But why are there so few top-grade spiritual materials in this Tianyan City? Did Shen Daoyou ask for high-grade spiritual materials?"
Hearing this, the gloomy color in Shen Jiudi's eyes faded a little, and he said with a smile:
"Fresh, high-grade spiritual materials? Nowadays, all the winemakers are in the period of exploration, who dares to take the spiritual materials to try, in a few years, then they must not die? Not to mention fresh top-grade spiritual materials, even high-grade spiritual materials are not necessary, and when you enter the doorway, it is not too late to change to fresh high-grade spiritual materials."
"Does Shen Daoyou have a special channel for purchasing spiritual materials?" Chen Ping asked.
"Harm, if you need any special channels, there are a lot of herb pickers in the city, and on the day you need it, you only need to issue a task to go out, and there will be herb pickers who are willing to pick them. This Heavenly Domain is vast and sparsely populated, and there are endless barbaric forests to the west outside of the Heavenly Domain, so there is no need to worry about high-grade spiritual materials." Shen Jiudi said, a little funny in his heart Chen Ping was so ambitious that he couldn't even walk, so he wanted to run.
Chen Ping was a little disappointed when he heard this.
Originally, I wanted to inquire through Shen Jiudi if there were other channels for purchasing high-grade spiritual materials.
It seems that there is none.
In the past six months, 1-5 of the seven high-grade spiritual materials have been found every month, and some have been accumulated one after another.
Only Mu Helian, who has only obtained one plant for half a year, is said to have been brought by a foreign monk from the outer land.
According to the current progress, the winemaking technique will be able to enter the grandmaster level in half a year at most. Once at this level, you can officially make nameless sake.
That is, there is still half a year to go.
But Mu Helian's progress is not smooth, and the last time I heard the shopkeeper say, there is also a family looking for medicine recently, and some herbalists have been diverted.
The future is not optimistic.
This task is to make a deal with Yuan Ying, he is not ready to cut corners, he hopes to use the best materials.
Chen Ping chatted with Shen Jiudi for a while, returned to the quiet room, and after weighing the pros and cons, decided to go out of the city to find Mu Helian by himself.
After the Cloud-winged Bird entered the Grandmaster level, it had an additional spiritual material marker.
It can be used to find Muhelian.
On the way to Tianyan City that day, I saw the appearance of the high-grade Mu Helian, which means that there is ecology there, maybe it is too little to find.
Now that it has been decided, Chen Ping immediately took out the cloud-winged bird and marked Mu Helian.
The Cloud-winged Bird's beast-fighting technique is universal, and there is no need to brush up on proficiency, just need to make the Cloud-winged Bird a little familiar with Mu Helian.
In two hours, all the processes were completed.
Early the next morning, after Chen Ping checked the integrity of several formations in the Jiannanchun Wine Workshop, he then went out and went to the French clothing shop first, took the custom-made Tiangang Lei, and put it on immediately. These spirit boots can increase his teleportation speed by a notch, making him safer when he goes out.
Then he quietly walked out of Tianyan City, and Edgeworth flew quickly towards the forest.
I still remember that I saw the group of medicine pickers on the eighth day, and the place was estimated to be about 30,000 miles away from Tianyan City.
When he first came to Tianyan Domain, Chen Ping tried his best to avoid human tracks and walk through dense forests as much as possible.
The same is true today.
After hundreds of miles out of the city, there are no more people. Because he was traveling alone, Chen Ping's speed was much faster than when he first came, and by the time he landed and rested after dark on the first day, he had almost traveled more than 7,500 miles.
On the evening of the fourth day, Chen Ping had already arrived near his destination.
He was not in a hurry, he first found a safe place, opened a cave, arranged the formation, and released the Nine Shades and Colorful Cicadas, and then he went into the cave to rest and avoid the unknowable dangers of the night.
Although this is the Tianyan Domain, it is close to the edge of the west, and further west is the endless barbaric forest, where demon beasts and evil spirits are countless times more dangerous than the Tianyan Domain, which belongs to the jurisdiction of the sect.
It's okay to pass by, but you have to be cautious when you stay.
After dawn, the cloud-winged bird was released and began to look for Muhelian.
Half a day passed, and Mu Helian was not found, but he saw some fresh demon beast feces.
I don't know what kind of monster it is.
Chen Ping told himself in his heart that he had to be careful.
Half a day later, I saw the traces left by some monks, and I estimated that they were only the traces of the last few days.
The alchemy of Tianyan Sect is prevalent, the demand for medicine collection is large, and it is close to the wild forest on the west side, and the spiritual materials are abundant, and it is normal for monks to go deep into here to find medicine.
Just be careful to avoid it.
Three days later, nothing was found.
However, Chen Ping is not in a hurry, the forest area here is too large, and although the cloud-winged bird has been brushed to the peak, the perception distance is still limited.
Finding medicine requires patience, and he expects that.
Just take your time.
……
At the same time, five hundred miles away.
The three medicine collectors were cautiously searching for spiritual materials.
"Second sister, you can't go further west, it's close to the savage forest, and you may not be able to get out if you go in." A young monk.
The second sister is a capable female cultivator, a French robe with a heroic posture, and her eyebrows are heroic.
She glanced up at the west:
"Okay, just this area, no longer to the west, but to the east slowly."
"This high-grade purple orchid is really hard to find, it has been out for more than 20 days, and I haven't found a single one. So what does Fan Gongzi want this kind of spiritual material for?" The young monk complained.
"Leave it to your employer's business, we just need to find this spiritual material
This is the rule of the herb picker. If this order can be completed, the reward will be handsome, and we will be able to wait for a year without worry." The second sister said expressionlessly.
The young monk suddenly thought of something, his eyes squinted, and he approached the second sister in small steps.
Grinning:
"Second sister, I've been waiting for more than 20 days, and I've met two teams of herb pickers, right? This barren mountain and wild mountain, the Tianyan Sect can't control it here."
"In my opinion, it's better to rob the road."
"The three of us and the others are all in the late stage of foundation building, and their strength is not weak. You can specially select 1-2 people to start with a single pharmacist. As long as you are lucky, it is not faster than collecting medicine?"
"Shut up." The second sister's face turned cold, and she reprimanded sharply:
"Remember, this time the family asked you to follow me out, just to let you follow me to restrain your heart, the family has high hopes for you, you are so rough, how can you live up to the expectations of the elders?"
"Those medicine pickers dare to enter the endless forest tens of thousands of miles away, do you think they have no means? Slaughtered by you? Don't be murderous at every turn, we are medicine collectors, not cultivators."
"Yes, second sister." The young monk was reprimanded and did not dare to speak again, but he was a little unconvinced.
These second sisters are too timid.
……
Chen Ping cautiously searched for medicine, relying on the cloud-winged bird to gradually scan this dense forest.
On the fourth day, there was no result, but I unexpectedly encountered a kind of vermilion fruit.
A large tree, at least more than 100 trees.
This fruit is of little value to monks, but it is the favorite spirit fruit of many fish spirit animals.
It can improve the quality of fish spirit animals.
Chen Ping doesn't have such a spirit beast, but he can sell spirit stones. He kept all the Zhu Hongguo for himself. After thinking about it, he pulled off another branch and saw if he could take it back and cultivate it.
The fifth day was fruitless.
On the sixth day, in the process of searching in the forest, the cloud-winged bird finally made a strange move, and suddenly spread its wings and swooped to one side.
Chen Ping's spirit was shocked and he followed decisively.
After galloping for more than ten miles, the cloud-winged bird stopped in front of a huge ancient tree, and so did Chen Ping.
There were at least 20 people in the big tree, and the leaves and branches covered the sky and the sun. The trunk of the tree is covered with green moss and vines.
There was a clear spring under the tree, and living water was constantly rising from the bottom of the boulder.
But in the clear spring, Mu Helian was not seen.
Following the head of the cloud-winged bird, I saw that there was a crack on the trunk of the ancient tree that was several feet long and a few feet wide, and it was also covered with moss.
Inside the crack, there was a small tree hole, and at the bottom of the tree hole was a puddle of clear water, flowing slowly.
There is no such thing as a cave.
And above the puddle in the tree hole, a lotus-shaped plant lay quietly on the water, swaying slightly with the current.
… Top-grade Muheline.
Chen Ping was immediately overjoyed.
After searching for so many days, I finally met the high-grade Mu Helian.
It's just one plant, but it means there's nothing wrong with looking for it.
This piece really has the growth ecology of Muhelian.
Chen Ping reached out and gently lifted the lotus lotus, a lotus-like plant with leaves floating above the water and roots sticking out in the clear water.
On the leaves, the outermost circle is in the shape of dead leaves, and the light brown lines extend inward, extending a trace of beautiful dead leaf lines, and the longest lines even reach the stem.
The more Chen Ping looked, the more pleasantly surprised.
According to the quality grade of Mu Helian that he had seen in the register before.
I'm afraid this is not just ordinary high-quality.
It's the best of the best.
Such a good quality means that the ecology is by no means simple, and there may be some around.
But at that moment, there was a 'hiss, 'hiss' from above the cave.
With the sound of a snort, the coercion spread in circles.
Chen Ping was shocked, and he didn't dare to move easily for a while, and even put on Lotus in his hand
The action stopped. Searching for a sense of coercion, he tilted his head slightly.
Above.
An eight-horned deer demon beast only two or three feet tall stood above the tree hole, snorting, and glaring at Chen Ping below with angry eyes.
Guardian Beasts?
