In the evening of this day, the family of several successful young people entertained the neighbors, half of the villagers of Dashu Village surnamed He, all of whom were related to Yan Yue's mother's family, Yan Yue's family had a lot of guests, and all kinds of praise for Yan Yue at the banquet were endless.

After the banquet, it was already dark, Yan Yue's house was lit with candles, and Yan Shaoyuan was still immersed in the joy of the banquet.

Holding a book in one hand and a yellow gourd in the other, he took a sip of the wine in the gourd and praised: "This ordinary bad wine, after being stored in the gourd, the taste of the wine is more mellow than that of the aged wine, and I am not shallow!"

Yan Shaoyuan took a sip of the wine in the gourd, looked at the book in his hand for a while, and smirked "hehe" from time to time, and under the reflection of the candlelight, his already slightly red face was even more ruddy.

Yan Yue, who was sitting on the side, saw Yan Shaoyuan's expression, and looked at the book called "The Strange News of the World" in his hand, and said angrily: "Aren't you talking about taking the test every day, can reading this kind of book help you test the fame?"

"Children don't care about adults' affairs" Yan Shaoyuan frowned, then looked in a trance, and muttered to himself, "I miss your mother......"

Yan Yue was puzzled by Yan Shaoyuan's answer, but then a trace of hatred appeared in his eyes, and he said hatefully: "My mother, she can't bear the hardships and leaves us, what is there to think!"

Yan Yue has never seen his mother since he was a child, and he heard from relatives that his mother He Huanxi left not long after he was born.

When Yan Yue sensible asked why his mother left, relatives would say, "Your mother doesn't want you anymore, she has gone to a far place", "Your mother can't endure hardship, so she is looking for a good life for her". Yan Yue has always been haunted by his mother's departure.

"Don't say bad things about your mother!" Yan Shaoyuan had a hint of anger in his tone, and then he said softly, "Remember, don't blame your mother, blame me, it's me who is useless, it's because I'm poor and can't even look down on illness, so your mother will leave us." ”

Yan Shaoyuan saw that there was a sense of sadness on Yan Yue's face, came to Yan Yue's side, stretched out his hand on his shoulder, and encouraged: "You must be angry, why did your mother leave us, it is because we are not competitive enough, so I want to gain fame, and you want to become a respected cultivator, glorifying your ancestors." Yan Shaoyuan's words were deep and affectionate.

"Got it!" Yan Yue lowered his head, unable to see the expression on his face.

A few days later, on July 29, the Tianlu Festival.

The villagers of Dashu Village gathered in the "Yanhuang Temple" in the village, with solemn expressions, and under the leadership of the village chief He Gengnong, they worshiped the statue of Yanhuang in the temple together.

This is a world where the Xiuzhen civilization has developed for 5,000 years.

Five thousand years ago, the first cultivator suddenly appeared and passed on the method of cultivating truth and refining wine to the world, blessing the Quartet.

This first cultivator was good at fire, so he was respected by later generations as "Emperor Yan", and people also called themselves the descendants of Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan is the ancestor of the cultivators and the saint of the secular world.

In order to commemorate Emperor Yan, people have worship customs on the first day of January, April 5 and July 29 every year.

On July 29, 5,000 years ago, it was the day when Emperor Yan, the ancestor of Xiuzhen, passed down the method of cultivating truth and refining wine.

On this day, the descendants of Emperor Yan from all over the world will gather to worship Emperor Yan, brew fine wine, miss their ancestors, and get drunk all over the world.

In the open space at the head of the village, the stove was set up yesterday, and after worshipping Queen Yan, the villagers began to make fine wine.

The grains needed to make sake had already been soaked, and the women washed the grains, poured them into a cauldron, and made a fire, from which in a moment the aroma of rice spread.

The men were naked, holding long sticks the thickness of their arms, and while stirring the grain that was boiling in the pot, they wiped the sweat from the corners of their eyes, and joked with the women.

The adults were busy, and the children were not idle, chasing and playing among the dozen cauldrons, and the sounds of laughter and scolding came from time to time.

Yan Yue stood by a cauldron, watching the man who made the wine mix the koji into trouble, the koji was mixed with the grains that had been boiled into porridge, and after a while, the faint aroma of wine mixed with the aroma of rice wafted out, Yan Yue couldn't help licking his lips.

The man who made the wine smiled and said, "What, the little wine worm in the stomach is guilty? Don't worry, the wine will be brewed in the evening." After speaking, he couldn't stop praising Yan Yue, and the villagers on the side also took the initiative to greet Yan Yue warmly, and praised Yan Yue endlessly.

"This kid is really promising, I have already seen it, no, even the immortals say that his spiritual light is of the highest grade!"

"You only found out now, Yan, this kid of the Yan family has a future, what did you do earlier, I learned from Yan...... He knew it as soon as he was born, and he would definitely be extraordinary in this life!"

"You already knew? You can't even remember his name, you already knew!"

"Hey, what's wrong? As his cousin, did you ever give him a red envelope with a copper coin when he was a child!" The man turned his head to look at Yan Yue, and said again, "Child, since you were a child, has he ever wrapped a red envelope for you?"

Yan Yue saw these two men, and there was a tendency to fight on the other, so he hurriedly ran away.

A woman stopped his way, "Yan Yue, come here, let Auntie see, well, this little face is really handsome! When Sister Xiunian grows up, will it be good for you to be your daughter-in-law!"

Yan Yue looked at the little girl with snot who was dragged out by the woman, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

Cooking, adding koji, and fermentation are the three most basic processes in the winemaking process, and the wine is really brewed after fermentation.

Normally, the fermentation process takes several days, but on the day of the Tianlu Festival, people will purchase a catalytic substance refined by cultivators, and during the fermentation process, this substance is added, and the fermentation only takes half a day to complete.

Yan Yue's alcohol addiction was hooked, and he couldn't wait for half a day, so he hurriedly ran home, opened a cabinet, took out a yellow and clear gourd hidden in the corner, and pulled out the gourd cork.

Suddenly, a strong aroma of wine came to his nose, Yan Yue raised his head and took a few sips.

Wine is regarded as the beauty of the sky, and it is said that wine is better than a panacea in the hands of cultivators.

And the method of refining wine of the cultivators was passed down by Emperor Yan and went through 5,000 years. There is a saying that in the cultivation world, the strong are respected, and the wine is precious. All famous wine refining teachers and wine tasters are all in the same position, and those who reach it can leave a lasting future.

Or because of the gratitude of Emperor Yan, or for other reasons, in this world, everyone is good at wine. It is not uncommon for underage children to drink, Yan Yue has learned to drink since he was a child, and the amount of alcohol is not small.

"After the wine is put in this gourd, it tastes so fragrant, no wonder my father hid this gourd so well!" Yan Yue looked at the gourd in his hand and admired it sincerely.

Yan Yue didn't like to play like other teenagers, and he didn't go out again after returning home, he sat on the bed and remembered what had happened in the past few days.

Yan Yue's family was migrated to Dashu Village by his grandfather's generation, half of the people in Dashu Village were surnamed He, and his mother He Huanxi was a member of the He family.

He Huanxi left after giving birth to Yan Yue, Yan Yue has not had a mother to take care of him since he was a child, and the relatives seem to be because He Huanxi is no longer there, and they are relatively cold to Yan Yue, the half of the He family, and they love to ignore it.

This made Yan Yue learn to be self-reliant early in the process of growing up, forming a more mature character than his peers, but deep down he was extremely lonely and longed for the attention of his relatives.

But just a few days ago, after Yan Yue opened his spirit, the attitude of his relatives towards him changed drastically. The person who used to ignore him and couldn't even call him by name now took the initiative to greet him, and praised him endlessly when he saw him.

The gap between before and after made him feel the warmth he had never felt before.

Yan Yue knew what the reason for the change in the attitude of his relatives towards him. I thought to myself, just because I was enlightened, their attitude towards me became so enthusiastic, and if I became a true cultivator......

Just become a cultivator, that is, the immortal in the eyes of mortals, if you are stronger, you can fly with a sword, and if you become a figure like Emperor Yan, you can be respected by the whole world, and three grand festivals will be held for him every year. On top of that, cultivators have a longer lifespan than mortals.

Yan Yue secretly said in his heart, "If you want to be respected by others, you must have the qualifications to be recognized, the elders among mortals are respected, and the strongest among cultivators are respected, that senior brother Shangxian is young, but he is respected by that short-bearded middle-aged man, because he is stronger than that person." In the future, I will not only become a cultivator, but also become a strong one among them!"

Thinking of this, Yan Yue recalled an experience that happened in the village private school a few years ago.

On that day, the old master asked the students what their future aspirations were.

Some of the students said that they wanted to become a person like the old master in the future, some said that they wanted to make a lot of money and become a big official in the future, and some said that they wanted to marry several daughters-in-law in the future.

When it was Yan Yue's turn to answer, Yan Yue said that in the future, he wanted to become a god emperor.

After listening to this, the old master was stunned, and then, with an exaggerated expression, asked the students below, is this possible?

The God Emperor is the co-lord of the world, and he is the most noble and supreme person in this world.

When the students were having fun, they would often say, "I want to be a god emperor in the future." But no one would say it in class or in public.

When they saw the exaggerated expression on the old master's face, they felt that there should be laughter attached to it, and they burst into laughter.

The old master said angrily: "Heh, if you want to become a god emperor in the future, why don't you become an immortal!"

Yan Yue was ignorant at that time, and felt that the old master was praising himself, so he asked innocently, "Which is more powerful, the God Emperor or the Immortal?"

After saying that, he added, "Whichever is more powerful will be whichever becomes!"

When the students heard this, they laughed more intensely, leaned back and slammed the table.

Yan Yue actually doesn't really want to be the God Emperor, he just thinks that the God Emperor is the most powerful person in the world, and he wants to become such a character in the future. If the God Emperor is the strongest person, then he will become the God Emperor, and if the Immortal is more powerful than the God Emperor, then he will become an Immortal.

And the reason why he expressed his ambition in class was because no one had confided his heart for a long time, and it was a very pleasant thing to be able to share his ambition with his friends.

But under the ridicule of everyone, the smile on his face gradually froze.

From then on, he swore in his heart that the more you laughed at me, the more I would prove it to you!

At this time, Yan Yue's mentality was already mature, and he surpassed his age, thinking about what happened at that time, he laughed alone.

He now knew that the God Emperor was a position, and this position was set up for Empress Yan, and not anyone could do it. And the real immortals don't know if they really exist.

But Yan Yue made up his mind in his heart, anyway, he wanted to become the strongest person.

Yan Yue was fascinated, reminiscing about the past and looking forward to the future, he wanted to stand at the top of the cultivators and be respected by the world. And what needs to be done at this moment is to complete the spiritual light to complete the consecration.

Yan Yue lifted his mood and began the boring cultivation of the soul.
