Chapter 232: Clarification
After returning to the Candle Dragon Dao, Su Tongxiao asked Fang Yu to take charge of taking a group of disciples back to Chaoyang Palace, and he rushed to report to the upper echelons of the sect, after all, this trial was unexpectedly suspended, and he, the person with the highest cultivation, naturally wanted to give an explanation to the sect.
In particular, there are four disciples whose bodies were destroyed, and although there is a reason for the incident, he, a person who has received benefits from others, cannot completely abandon all the responsibilities.
Han Li didn't want to get involved too much in this matter, so after saying goodbye to Su Tongxiao, he went directly to the Shocking Cloud Peak and walked into the side hall in the depths of the Taixuan Palace.
The side hall was as deserted as ever, the door was half-hidden, and the scruffy old man was leaning boredly on the big chair behind the desk.
"Although the wine is good, you can't be greedy...... It's only been a few days, and it's almost gone......" The old man held a vermilion wine gourd in one hand, took a few sips from time to time, and muttered.
Han Li walked outside the hall gate and happened to hear the old man's complaints, and after a pause, he raised his hand and pushed the door in.
"Boy, it looks like the third task has been completed, and the hands and feet are sharp enough. Do you have a crush on any little girl?" the old man said when he saw Han Li coming in, glanced up at him.
"There was some accident during the trial, and it was stopped early. But after all, those disciples were fine, but they didn't know, did this count as completing the task?" Han Li simply said what had happened in the Xuanbing Mountain Range, and by the way, he raised his hand and handed over his Elder Token.
"Whether they complete the trial or not has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with me. As long as you do your job, the task will be accomplished. The old man said as he took the token.
He opened the merit value book and quickly recorded the merit points of the task reward for Han Li, and then raised his hand and threw the token back.
Han Li didn't say anything, he reached out and took the token and put it away casually.
He glanced at the old man who spoke for words, and then at the elixir on the table, but his steps did not move at all, and he did not look like he wanted to leave.
"Why, you kid deacon didn't do enough of the task, and after completing three, you still want to get the fourth?" the old man glanced at him and said angrily.
"The seniors laughed, you told the seniors about the Dao soldiers, you see ......"
"Stop, stop! If you can't come up with a decent wine recipe, then it's useless to say anything, and the old man won't say anything about the Dao soldiers. Before Han Li could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Elder Huyan waving his hand.
"Senior, don't be busy refusing, junior handed in the task today, and there is nothing to do, can you have another drink with you here?" Han Li had already expected this, and said tentatively with a smile on his face.
"During this time, the old man was very busy, he didn't have time to make wine, and there was not much wine left, and now he drank one less glass, and he was not enough! Last time, he was happy for a while, and let you have one cup after another, but after you left, the old man was heartbroken for a long time...... Don't worry about the old man's Taoist soldiers, hurry up, hurry up!" Elder Huyan turned pale when he heard this, and hurriedly hung his vermilion gourd back on his waist and ordered the eviction of customers.
"It's not that you want you to share a glass of wine with me, it's that the juniors want to invite you to have a drink. Hearing this, Han Li said with a smile.
"Would you like to have a drink? The wine worm in the old man's stomach is very picky, if it is an ordinary spirit wine, you kid don't take it out to offer ugliness." poured the old man's appetite, not to mention that there is no way to talk about soldiers, even if you kick you out of this shocking cloud peak, you can also do it. Elder Huyan raised his eyebrows and spoke.
When Han Li heard this, he didn't care, he just reached out his palm and gently wiped it on the table in front of him, and two more emerald green jade wine glasses appeared there.
The body of the cup is transparent and flawless, the emerald color is evenly distributed, and there are wisps of golden fine threads lingering inside, forming a peculiar pattern in the shape of petals, which looks quite extraordinary.
"Huh...... The golden silk glass cup is not bad...... "The old man wanted to say something more, but after seeing the two jade cups, he sighed lightly.
Han Li didn't speak, and with another flip of his wrist, a fiery red delicate wine bottle appeared in his palm.
With his other hand, he lifted the wooden cork from the bottle.
With a soft sound of "pop", a very peculiar but extremely rich aroma of wine instantly overflowed, filling the entire side hall.
Elder Huyan's slightly red nose immediately wrinkled, and a strange look rose in his eyes.
His body involuntarily leaned forward, he stood up from his seat, half of his body lying on the red table, and leaned his head close to the wine bottle in Han Li's hand, sniffing vigorously.
"Hurry up, what are you doing in a daze! Hurry up and pour it for the old man, this tastes...... The gluttonous worms in the old man's stomach are about to run out......" Elder Huyan pursed his lips, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed impatiently.
Han Li naturally didn't dare to play tricks on the old man, so he leaned over slightly, poured the mouth of the liquor bottle, and poured the liquor into the two golden silk glass cups on the table.
Elder Huyan hurriedly picked up a wine glass and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.
I saw the wine in the glass, showing a bright red color, emitting a flame-like red light, the wine was clear and clear, shaking the wine glass slightly, you can also see the liquid surface, there are dots of red light reflection, like a flame jumping.
He couldn't wait to bring the wine glass to his lips, first took a sip lightly, his eyebrows suddenly raised, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and then he threw his head back sharply, and put the whole glass of wine into his mouth, and drank it all.
When the wine entered the abdomen, a strange warm current suddenly flowed all over the body along the limbs and veins, and the color of the old man's reddish nose immediately deepened a little.
His eyes were slightly closed, and he felt the aftertaste of the wine between his teeth and cheeks, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
Han Li couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth as he watched this scene.
"Qiong Jelly Jade Liquid, Qiong Jelly Jade Liquid...... Boy, where did you get this wine? The old man had never drunk it before. The old man came back to his senses from the afterglow of the wine and said immediately.
"This kind of wine is called 'Fire Salivation', and it is produced in the Wasteland Continent, but because the wine recipe has been lost, it is rare to see it now. Han Li explained.
"What...... The recipe is lost?"
When Elder Huyan heard this, he suddenly felt like a thunderbolt from the sky, and his voice raised an octave.
However, he soon calmed down, turned his gaze to Han Li, and asked, "Since it has been lost, how did you get this wine?"
"This senior doesn't need to ask, the junior just wants to know, with the wine recipe of this Fire Saliva Immortal Wine, is it enough for the junior to exchange for the Dao Soldier knowledge you have mastered?" Han Li asked bluntly.
"This ......"
After hearing this, the old man bowed his head slightly and sat back on the big chair, with a look of hesitation on his face, as if he was in a tangle.
However, Han Li saw the corner of his eye, constantly staring at the fiery red delicate wine bottle in his hand, obviously wanting to take the wine recipe and this bottle of wine together.
Sure enough, I immediately heard the old man say:
"That's it, that's it...... The old man and your kid are also considered to be in love, as long as you give the wine recipe and the bottle of saliva immortal wine to the old man, the knowledge about the Taoist soldiers...... The old man will teach you, so what's the matter. ”
"Senior, this is not good, the only thing we agreed on before was the wine party. And this saliva immortal wine, I only have such a bottle, but I can't give it to your predecessors so plainly. Han Li said decisively.
"Can't you give it to me plainly, boy, let's be honest, what are you fanciing about the old man again?" Elder Huyan immediately heard Han Li's words, glared, and asked.
"The juniors still want to learn from the seniors, how did they implant this elixir in the basin?" Han Li laughed twice and said what was in his heart.
"Haha...... What else should the old man do? It's nothing, the old man will teach you. Elder Huyan said with a loud laugh.
Han Li was a little surprised to see him so generous.
But when he heard the method of planting, he understood why this sloppy old man was so simple.
Because the cultivation method of this potted elixir is not complicated, the difficulty lies in finding a container suitable for the cultivation of the elixir, and concocting the spiritual liquid that can provide sufficient spiritual power for the elixir.
The jet-black round pot used in the potted plant of Elder Huyan is itself a magic weapon that can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, so that it can carry the elixir, so that although it is separated from the earth, it can still be alive.
In addition, this cultivation method is limited to a very small number of special elixirs, and is not suitable for all.
"It's a shame that there are so many restrictions...... Han Li sighed.
"The old man has already told you, hurry up and give me the ambergris fairy wine and the wine recipe. Elder Huyan smiled and urged.
Han Li first handed over the wine bottle, then turned over and took out the wine recipe that had already been copied and placed it on the table.
Elder Huyan first took the wine bottle, pulled out the cork and sniffed it again and again, and then took the wine side to check it carefully, and muttered from time to time: "Sure enough, I used a 10,000-year-old Arhat leaf...... I actually want to add Kyaukyan flowers...... I see......"
Han Li saw that he was fascinated, so he didn't bother him, and when he caught a glimpse of the glass of wine poured for him on the desk, he reached over to take it, but before he could reach out, he was slapped away by Elder Huyan.
"These wines are all old man's now. After that, the sloppy old man snatched the wine glass, drank it all without saying a word, and then praised "good wine, good wine" in his mouth.
"Now senior, can you talk about talking about soldiers?" Han Li naturally didn't bother with the other party, and asked with a twist of words.
"I really didn't expect you kid to be able to get such a good wine recipe. Say, what do you want to know?" Elder Huyan put away the ambergris immortal wine and the wine recipe, and Zhengse said.
"This soldier...... It looks like a puppet, but it's very different, what is it?" Han Li thought for a moment and asked.
"What exactly is a Taoist soldier? They come from many sources, such as slave monks who voluntarily sell themselves, powerful demon beasts, special puppets, celestial demons who make contracts, mutated ghosts, and self-cultivated machine spirits...... Even the spirit clan born in the spirit realm also belongs to the category of Dao soldiers. Elder Huyan said with a slight groan.
"What kind of Dao soldier does the kind of Dao soldier who can change from a yellow bean to a yellow turban wrestler belong to?" Han Li nodded and asked again.
"Oh, you mean Beansoldiers. They belong to the immortal plant type of Dao soldiers in the puppet, and they need to be cultivated by innate cultivation and acquired refining, and the two can be combined. Depending on how long the beans have been gestation, and the strength of the circle engraved on the surface, the power that the bean soldiers can produce will also be different. Elder Huyan explained.
