Liu Yiwen drove the Zhengang sword and carved on the stone wall. For a while, the sound of thumping rocks sounded over the quiet small lake.

He first carved a cave with a diameter of a few feet straight inward, and then slowly walked downward, always feeling the temperature in the cave, and when it was more suitable, he began to build several stone chambers as a workshop for future sake brewing.

After embedding some sunstones on the top of the cave and carving out a few stone tables and stone benches from local materials, this cave house looks a little similar. It took a long time to put up a simple defensive circle at the entrance of the cave, and he finally rested.

Liu Yiwen dug the space inside very spacious, and prepared five or six stone rooms for winemaking, one of which was half a foot lower. After doing all this, he looked around, and he was quite satisfied with his new home. The temperature inside the cave is just like spring, so it is no longer a problem to make sake.

Perhaps because of the effort he had just exerted, he felt a little tired now, so he rested in the bedroom of his new home. When I saw this small lake, at a certain moment, the appearance of big eyes came to mind, and my heart suddenly darkened.

It is called the Chihuai Spirit Monkey, good water, and the two times I met it was at the water's edge, it would be nice if it was in this small lake!

The next morning, he woke up early and got busy in the makeshift brewery he had set up. When he first made wine, Master Lu in Yanquan Spring Wine Workshop told him about the four important things of winemaking, which are still fresh in his memory - grain, koji, water, and cellar!

This time, the grains used for sake brewing are all genuine Linggu, and the quality is not a problem. As for the koji, the red yeast rice that I got from Du Feng was naturally chosen. The water is prepared with a spiritual spring taken from Tokusenji Temple.

The cellar is not available here. However, the glazed tripod that he had refined haphazardly had already brewed a few spirit wines, and after some tempering, it must have come in handy!

The only regret is that he hasn't had time to make it yet, and if he can have it, he will definitely be able to add a lot of color.

He gathered his mood and set to work. First, the Linggu is slightly steamed and cooled, and then the koji powder is ground and mixed into the cooled grains, and placed in a dark room with a suitable temperature. The stone chamber was dug low for fermentation, and because it was closer to the hot springs, the temperature was higher than the others.

......

Time passed in this loneliness, Liu Yiwen pondered about the brewing of wine every day, and also looked at the jade slip of refining in his spare time, after all, the purpose of this trip was to refine the spirit sword.

In his heart, he had already imagined that piece of fire essence gold as the main material, and then calculated in his heart which spirit ores could be used to make a spirit sword of what quality. As soon as he thought of this thing, he couldn't suppress his excitement in his heart, after all, using it to refine a spirit sword was already an extreme luxury, even if it was a high-grade spirit sword, it was not unusual.

Although he thought about it many times in his heart, he still had one thought, and that was - it would be good if Uncle Hao was here. However, as long as the spirit wine is brewed, you can leave this place and return to the sect and start refining the spirit sword, and it is not too late to ask this old man for advice when the time comes.

On this day, he was flipping through the Du Shi winemaking classics, and suddenly slapped the back of his head, and left the cave in a hurry, and came to the shore of the lake to search. He kept rubbing his hands in the wet mud, occasionally pinching a little mud with his fingers, and kept it in front of his eyes, as if looking for something.

When he had finished walking around the shore of the lake, he burst out laughing, with a hint of joy in his laughter. He chose a location a little closer to the cave mansion, and then took out a jade shovel and a cloth bag.

There are four words written on the cloth bag in the seal style, but it is vaguely recognizable that it is the four characters of "gentian spirit grass", which turned out to be the spirit seed brought out of the Du family's secret realm.

Liu Yiwen was in a happy mood at this time, according to the records in the classics, this grass has strict requirements for soil. Needless to say, it can only grow on the soil of volcanic rock mines, if it is just that, this grass has extremely high requirements for water, where is there such abundant water on ordinary volcanic mines?

However, this place just meets these two conditions, and it is a treasure land for natural cultivation of gentian spirit grass.

Gentian Spirit Grass is not very rare among the spirit species brought out by the Du Clan's secret realm. However, the gentian wine brewed from this grass rhizome as the main material is an excellent thing for the cultivation of the condensate realm.

What's more, with a few other elixirs, you can also refine the elixir of the condensate realm. Since Liu Yiwen pondered on the wine road, he faintly felt in his heart that this way seemed to be similar to the Dan road, but he did not study it deeply.

When he first saw the recipe of gentian wine, he moved his mind to cultivate this grass, but he was suffering because there was no place to plant it in the sect, and the price of this grass was not low, so he delayed it.

Now, it is really God's wish that he has inadvertently found this blessed place.

He no longer hesitated, planted a seed a few feet away, sowed a small half of the seeds in the sack, and stopped. Although the conditions of this place were very similar to the recorded spiritual soil, he was still a little worried in his heart, so he left most of the spirit seeds, and if the cultivation failed, there was still room for salvation.

Looking at the seeds he had sown with anticipation, he carefully covered and covered the mud again and again, for fear that he would not be meticulous enough, and he returned after checking that it was correct.

He returned to the winery in a happy mood, and when he sniffed it, he actually smelled the slightest fragrance. As soon as his heart moved, he came to the darkroom where the music was made.

The temperature here is much higher than that of the other stone chambers, and the humidity is quite heavy. He took out a thumb-sized sunstone, and by the dim light, he found that Linggu was already yellow, and fine hairs had grown on it.

Liu Yiwen felt a little relieved in his heart: This is a sign of the successful fermentation of koji, after this step is successful, other spiritual materials and spirit valleys will be added to it, and it can be put into the cellar.

The fermentation time of spirit wine is relatively long, usually several times that of ordinary wine. Only in this way can the spiritual power and medicinal power in the spiritual materials be extracted into the fermented grain and contained in the fine wine.

But this is the first step.

Originally, when the mixture was put into the cellar, some rice husks and grain bran were needed. After several years of trying, he found that a low-level spiritual grass seed called fennel seed could replace these mundane things and have a gratifying effect. This is a little trick he discovered after entering this path!

Holding two grains of Linggu in his hand, after looking at them, put them in his mouth and chew them slightly. He felt that there was still some time left, and estimated that there was still half a month before he could enter the cellar, so he left.
