Practice begins with a fisherman

In the last words of the unknown monk, he only mentioned the brewing techniques of the three spirit wines that he valued the most, but he always firmly believed that the storage bag of a monk in the late stage of Qi training would definitely give him a powerful supplement.

Because the original owner had been gone for a while, the spiritual power that originally sealed the storage bag had naturally dissipated into the air, and no consciousness that blocked Zhao Shoushou had entered it.

"Could it be that what I met was a fake late-stage Qi training monk?" It was completely different from what I imagined. There were only five items in the huge storage bag, two jade slips, a jade bottle, and a A jade box containing elixir and 21 low-grade spirit stones.

One of the two jade slips is the spirit wine brewing technique that the unknown monk values ​​most, and the other should be his cultivation method. The jade bottle contains some kind of panacea, and the jade box should contain some precious panacea.

The brewing of spiritual wine not only requires the preparation of various raw materials, but the most important thing is the cultivation of distiller's yeast. This is a long process, as short as three months and as long as half a year. What he wants to know most is the elixir in the jade bottle.

After being promoted to the middle stage of Qi training, the price of the spirit pills required for cultivation has doubled, and the price of each one is around seven low-grade spirit stones. It is difficult to buy spirit pills on a large scale like before in the current environment. .

Since he was promoted to the fourth level of qi training, although he has been wandering around, his daily practice is guaranteed. Unfortunately, he lacks the assistance of the elixir. He is still in the early stage of the fourth level of qi training and has not made much progress.

Because of this, when he saw the jade bottle in the storage bag, the loss in his heart could be healed. The panacea that can be treasured by monks in the late stage of Qi training should not be ordinary goods.

"The color is light and fragrant, the skin is dark green, and there is a layer of cracked coat on the surface of Chengdan, which is for Wancidan." After opening the jade bottle and observing it carefully, Zhao Shoushou just initially confirmed it.

The first-grade middle-grade Wanci Dan is a special panacea, which can be taken from the fourth level of Qi training to the sixth level of Qi training, and even has a certain effect on some newly promoted monks in the late stage of Qi training.

In addition to being able to improve cultivation like ordinary spirit pills, Wanci Dan has a special power after refining, which can soften bottlenecks. When a monk advances to the next level, the bottlenecks he faces will be much easier than normal.

Of course, this effect is limited to the three small bottlenecks in the middle stage of Qi training. The best time to take it is naturally the sixth level of Qi training. It will be easier when it is about to hit the late stage of Qi training.

There are ten round Wanci Dan in a jade bottle, and the price of each Wanci Dan is ten low-grade spirit stones. This alone is enough to surpass many messy harvests.

When the storage bag is basically used up, the treasures that can still be treasured and treasured by a monk in the late stage of Qi training naturally have special value.

"The first-grade low-grade spirit rice wine, the first-grade low-grade spirit rice is used as the main raw material, supplemented with the first-grade low-grade spirit grass flower wine, the wine koji is used as the guide, and the spirit spring water is used as the base for 36 days. The water vapor is condensed and liquefied for two months. For sale, the spiritual power contained in each jar of spirit wine is equivalent to a first-order low-grade Qi Xing powder, and the price is two low-grade spirit stones."

"The first-grade middle-grade Baihua wine is mainly composed of first-grade middle-grade purple jade flowers, Qingwen flowers, lily flowers, six-leaf flowers, and blood jade flowers, supplemented by first-grade middle-grade Lingmi, distiller's yeast, and spirit spring water. It can be fermented for 81 days. This spirit wine belongs to the cold wine sequence and needs to be warmed before drinking. Each jar is priced at four low-grade spirit stones."

Chapter 68

"The first-grade high-grade spirit fruit wine is based on the first-grade top-grade Qingling fruit, Zishu fruit, pear fruit, pineapple fruit, and yacon fruit, soaked with wine koji and spirit peak honey, and placed at the core of the spirit vein for 120 days. Submerge the wine jars with spirit spring water so as not to let a trace of external air enter into them, and the price of each jar is 11 yuan for low-grade spirit stones."

"Even though spirit wine is good, don't drink too much, everything in the world has two sides." The last sentence is the vigilance left by the unknown monk. The role of spirit wine is undoubted, and the only disadvantage is that it takes a lot of time to succeed.

The brewing process of each kind of spirit wine is different, and the raw materials required are also varied. It is not easy to earn spirit stones through spirit wine.

As a water attribute monk, he can feel the changes in the brewing process of spirit wine, which can improve the success rate in a disguised form, which is barely a good discovery.

The second jade slip contains a kind of wood attribute cultivation method called "Controlling Tree Jue". There are also some cultivation imprints left by unknown monks on it. After reading it, there is no small gain.

Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. Although they are not the same type of cultivation method, many situations in the cultivation process are similar. This book of cultivation imprints is also very useful to him.

Looking at the only jade box left in the storage bag, he had a guess in his heart that it might be an important treasure for monks in the late stage of Qi training.

"Could it be the elixir used to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill?" When he said this, there was even a slight tremor in his words, and only treasures related to the Foundation Establishment Pill could be so cherished by the monks in the late stage of Qi Refining.

At the previous Qingling Mountain auction, he had personally seen a first-grade top-grade Baihua fruit, which was so enthusiastically sought after as an adjuvant for the foundation building pill, that many monks who were known as iron roosters spent a lot of money and did not hesitate to spend all their wealth. Go for it.

Zhuji Pill is a second-tier low-grade elixir, but its refining difficulty is no less than that of the second-tier middle-grade elixir. It needs the top-tier second-tier low-grade elixir, the stone pillar ginseng that exists for thousands of years as the main raw material. The 12 rare first-tier top-grade elixir are Supplementary materials can only be achieved by experienced second-tier mid-tier or even top-tier alchemists.

Among them, the most precious one is the thousand-year stone pillar ginseng. This elixir has strict requirements on the growth environment. It can only be successfully cultivated in some famous schools, and it can only survive in some forbidden places.

Precisely because of the scarcity of thousand-year-old stone pillar ginseng, the number of foundation building pills on the market has become increasingly scarce in recent years, and only some powerful sects can refine them at a fixed time.

The first-grade top-grade Hundred Flower Fruits that all the monks competed for at the Qingling Mountain Auction were just a group of the twelve traditional Chinese medicines with relatively weak effects.

That is to say, as long as the elixir in the jade box is any first-tier top-grade auxiliary elixir except Baihuaguo, its price and value will far exceed other treasures.

As for whether the elixir in the jade box is the second-order low-grade thousand-year-old stone pillar ginseng, the main medicine of the foundation-building pill, the possibility is almost zero. If you really have the main medicine in hand, no matter which sect you go to, you can exchange for a foundation-building pill.

Even if he doesn't trust the major sects, he can still enjoy more than half of the effect of a Foundation Establishment Pill just by taking the thousand-year-old stone pillar ginseng raw. How could the unknown monk just sit down and melt away as his longevity approached.

Another point to note is that one of the main medicines and 12 auxiliary medicines for refining the second-level low-grade foundation building pill, even if they are taken raw alone, have different effects on foundation building.

This is also one of the reasons why it is so difficult to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. After obtaining some different types of elixir, most monks know that the chances are slim and would rather take it alive than hand it over to someone who has the ability to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill In exchange for some spirit stones, this is especially true for casual cultivators.

"The rootless fruit of the first rank top grade ranks fourth among the 12 kinds of auxiliary elixir. It is really a good treasure." Zhao Shoushou muttered, surprised at the appearance of the rootless fruit.

The first-grade top-grade rootless fruit grows in a jade pit made of rootless water and spiritual spring water, and is made of special spiritual materials. Each rootless tree can only give birth to one rootless fruit in its lifetime. time is when the rootless tree withers.

After the rootless fruit is ripe, it must be picked within half an hour. Once the corresponding time is exceeded, it will become one with the rootless water and start to breed new life again.

Taking the first-grade top-grade rootless fruit alone can have and enjoy [-]% of the efficacy of the foundation building pill, and its most important role is to protect the dantian and prevent damage after the foundation building fails.

The reason why the unknown monk didn't take it may be because a single elixir has almost zero effect on him, or when he got the elixir, his lifespan was already approaching, and he didn't have a chance to fight to the death.

Theoretically speaking, every monk has the same opportunity to attack the Foundation Establishment before falling, but according to the data obtained by countless predecessors in the cultivation world, it is obvious that this is only the most ideal state.

The possibility of successful foundation building is the greatest for a monk before the age of 50, and there is still a slight possibility of success between the age of 50 and 70. Once the monk is over 70 years old, even with the help of Foundation Establishment Pill, the possibility of success in foundation building is almost zero.

If Zhao Shoushou wants to attack the foundation building, he must practice to the tenth level of Qi refining before the age of 45. After three to five years of precipitation, with the help of the foundation building pill and his aptitude, there is only a slight possibility of success.

"The road is long and the cultivation is far away, I will search up and down." I sighed with all my heart. According to the current practice speed, if I want to meet the requirements of foundation building, I will practice to reach the peak of the tenth level of Qi refining before the age of 45. is a daunting task.

In fact, for most casual practitioners, if they want to cultivate to the tenth level of Qi refining, they do not have good qualifications and sufficient resources, so they can only rely on time to replenish slowly. The gray-haired old man.

Even if you try your best to reach the tenth level of Qi refining before the age of 45, you still need a second-level low-grade foundation building pill to build a foundation, and this panacea blocks 90.00% of monks above five from the threshold of foundation building .

Going down the river, the journey was smooth and smooth, because Zhao Shoushou was not in a hurry because he had received the inheritance of the unnamed casual cultivator, and returned to Cormorant Island after two days of flowing with the water.

Because of the guardianship of a low-level fire formation, everything in the cave is safe, only the purple jade green bee, a low-level one, is busy in and out of the reserved formation exit. After several months of development, with the efforts of the queen bee, the current spirit bee The number has doubled to more than fifty.

The first-grade low-grade Lingmi planted for the second time in the Lingtian has grown lushly, and the four transplanted first-grade low-grade purple jade flowers have re-branched, and some flower buds that are about to bloom are very obvious.

Because of all the above, the entire rather simple cave seemed to be full of vitality, which made his mood turn from yin to yang, and he began to think about the next step of the cultivation plan based on the conditions he currently has, that is, how to improve faster and more steadily Xiuwei.

Chapter 69 Preparations for Spirit Wine Brewing

The four elements of the practice of "Legal Couple's Wealth Land", the most important thing to quickly improve the cultivation base is sufficient practice resources, which is the legendary "wealth", which is a spiritual stone for monks.

If a monk wants to own spirit stones, it is tantamount to reducing expenditure from sources. Since it needs to consume a lot of spiritual pills to improve cultivation, it is not advisable to reduce expenditure. The only thing left is open source.

As a casual cultivator, Zhao Shoushou had no other means to survive in the realm of comprehension other than his own cultivation, so he could only risk his life to run around in the middle of the Ziyu Mountains to compete with monsters.

However, this trip to Shanxi County was very rewarding. The key is that from now on, you can enjoy a means of earning spirit stones, that is, brewing spirit wine. You can earn half a low-grade spirit stone.

Compared with spirit pills, spirit wine is cheap, can satisfy appetite and can be drunk freely. It is a good choice for most casual cultivators who are often hovering between life and death and have little money in their pockets.

Shops selling spirit wine and meals in the large and small squares are often overcrowded, and most of the shops specializing in spirit wine are also crowded with people and business is booming.

If the influence of cormorant wine can be gradually expanded from the cormorant lake meeting, it is very likely that the spirit wine created by the unknown monk will be carried forward with the improvement of cultivation in the future.

There is another very important reason for wanting to brew spirit wine. In addition to the need to invest more energy in making the wine koji for the first time, the brewing of spirit wine requires a relatively simple step-by-step process in the future to have a stable production. The source of spirit wine, this is especially important for him who yearns for the Dao.

Because there is a low-grade purple jade bee, it can also be regarded as an excellent auxiliary method for brewing spirit wine. No matter how strong the spirit wine is, adding some spirit peak honey can make it softer.

It's a pity that due to the poor cultivation of the first-rank low-rank queen bee and the poor spiritual power near Cormorant Island, the production of first-rank low-rank Lingfeng honey is extremely limited, and royal jelly is even out of reach.

"Fisherman, farmer, drinker, taking on multiple jobs, it's worth fighting for Lingshi." After laughing at himself, Zhao Shoushou took out a first-grade mid-grade Wanci Dan and swallowed it.

Whether it is brewing spirit wine or hunting spirit beasts, in the end, it is just to earn spirit stones to buy spirit pills to improve cultivation. No matter when the daily practice time is unshakable, it must be guaranteed.

Whether it is a genius with a single spiritual root or a waste material with five spiritual roots, if you want to go further on the road of practice, it is necessary to settle down and meditate every day.

Accumulation of less becomes more, and quantitative change becomes qualitative change. Others may only see the joy of success for a moment, but they don't know that everything is accumulated bit by bit.

The first-grade mid-grade Wanci Dan is extremely precious. If other monks get it, there is a high probability that they will wait until the sixth level of Qi training to take it.

If one day he dies in a battle with the enemy, it will be as normal for a casual cultivator. At that time, everything in the storage bag will not be an enemy that is cheap to him?

What's more, what he has always believed in is "the car must have a road to the front of the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." The bottleneck of the sixth level of Qi training will naturally have new opportunities.

"Tsk tsk, as expected, it is a high-standard panacea worth ten low-grade spirit stones. The effect is really different. Just one is enough to last a month's hard work." Half a day later, Zhao Shoushou, who had completed the initial refinement, opened his eyes very quickly. said in surprise.

If it continues at this speed, ten Wanci Dan is enough to make his cultivation a big step forward, and maybe he will not be far from the fifth level of Qi training in a few months.

In just half a day, the medicinal effect of Wan Ci Dan has not been completely consumed, a large part of it has been hidden in his meridians, and this part of spiritual power will be refined little by little in the future training process. It will take about three to five days.

After the first-order mid-grade Wanci Pill has been refined, the improvement of the cultivation base of each elixir will be more obvious, and the fifth level of Qi Refining will not be far away.

"Liquor worms and wine molds are necessary for making distiller's koji. The newly made koji is only a low-grade first-grade wine. The improvement of the quality of distiller's koji cannot be achieved overnight. It can only be gradually improved through the number and types of spirit wine brewed. Increase" Now that he has made up his mind to brew spirit wine.

Zhao Shoushou soon began to think about the production of koji. Some monks or shops that specialize in spirit wine each have their own koji, which is also the reason why the taste and spiritual power of the same spirit wine will vary.

The development of distiller's yeast is also the biggest secret of the cultivators who manage spirit wine. It is a top-secret product not for sale. If you want to brew a low-grade spirit rice wine, you can only start with the accumulation of bit by bit.

The wine worm is a relatively special kind of spirit insect that likes to grow in palm trees and feeds by sucking the thick sap of palm trees, because the sap of palm trees contains a natural taste of wine, and it has evolved into a qualified wine worm over time .

Wine mold is similar to wine worm. It is also a naturally growing plant. It can only grow in some dense forests with several layers of thick and humid environment.

The number of wine molds is not small, and there are no monsters guarding them, but it is not easy to find their traces. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Usually, some mortals who want to earn spirit stones search for them.

Whether it is wine worm or wine mold, the price is not expensive, but you need a little luck to buy it. Besides, you need more than ten kinds of other auxiliary elixir and spiritual materials.

The production of wine-tasting music at the first level is not easy, it will take at least two months from start to finish, and Zhao Shoushou's main task next is to find a way to buy wine worms and wine molds in the surrounding markets.

The Cormorant Lake Small Club mainly deals in some low-grade, low-priced resources that are helpful for cultivation. Xiaokanshanfang City is the largest nearby Dafang City. Not high, but they often appear in Fangshi, Ziyu Mountains.

"Zhao and the Purple Jade Mountains really have a close relationship, but it's a good choice to refine the Wanci Pill while searching for traces of wine worms and wine molds." With a mutter, Zhao Shoushou will soon embark on a new journey. journey.

The first goal of this trip is naturally Xiaofang City in the Purple Jade Mountains. It is also a place where it is possible to obtain wine worms and wine molds.

In addition to the above two key treasures, making distiller's yeast requires more than ten kinds of auxiliary materials, which is also one of the main goals of Zhao Shoushou's trip, to collect as many auxiliary materials as possible.

Among them, 90.00% of the elixir can be found in the Purple Jade Mountains. In short, there is only one principle for this trip, buy as much as you can, and pick the ones that cannot be bought in the Purple Jade Mountains.

Chapter 70

"This fellow Taoist wants to brew spirit wine? Although there are no wine worms or molds in this shop, there are all kinds of first-level and low-grade spirit wine. Do you need it?" Two days later, Ziyu Mountain In Fangshi, Zhao Shoushou came out with a dejected face amidst the warm greetings from the shop assistants.

Since arriving here one day ago, he has never given up on almost every shop. I don’t know if it’s because of bad luck or because wine bugs and wine molds are too rare. News, there has been no news of the two treasures for a full three months.

But other than that, the rest of the ten low-grade first-grade spirit herbs were all gathered together, which can be regarded as a gain and a loss. The brewing of spirit wine was much more difficult than he imagined.

Of course, the clerk of one of the shops tried cautiously to sell the finished first-order wine tasting music, but the price was too expensive, far beyond the acceptable range.

"Come on, let's go, Zhao is a hard worker, it seems that the trip to the Ziyu Mountains is indispensable." In desperation, he made the final choice.

Zhao Shoushou didn't notice that two men in black were muttering something not far behind him, and one of them was the shop clerk who enthusiastically recommended the finished wine koji to him.

"Since we have inquired about the traces of wine worms and wine molds, they must have the complete formula of spirit wine on their body. A reckless casual cultivator looking for the ingredients of wine koji openly, isn't he a fat sheep who delivers goods to the door?" one of them in black said. The unrecognizable monk spoke in a sharp voice.

"If there is no fat sheep that hits the door, where will the cultivation resources I wait for come from? After the event is completed, the old rule is 20 yuan for low-grade spirit stones." The store clerk said very skillfully, as if he was already familiar with all this.

"Every monk in the cultivation world thinks us monks who rob houses are cancerous, but they don't know that friends are the real behind the scenes. Have you brought the bait you need?" The man in black complained quite dissatisfied. There is no objection to the number of stones.

"There is no definite information on how to guarantee the success of each operation without attracting the attention of famous families. Besides, this bait is a real treasure that has been tried and tested. It must be returned within three days." The man took out a transparent jade bottle, inside A fat, tender and transparent one is the wine worm.

Zhao Shoushou, who had gone away, would never have imagined that the treasure he had been thinking about day and night had become a death ring that was about to be put on his head at this moment.

However, one drink and one peck has its own destiny, and the trap is both danger and opportunity. If Zhao Shoushou can fight back desperately, wouldn't it save a lot of time?After all, the Ziyu Mountains are also dangerous.

"Wouldn't it be easy for our brothers to catch a casual cultivator?" The man in black was full of confidence, and seemed very dissatisfied with this suspicion.

"Then I will just wait for the good news from your brother. The store has prepared enough panacea. After finishing this ticket, I can rest for at least two months." After finishing speaking, the store clerk turned around and left, and the last sentence was also his own. promise.

These evil cultivators who hunt monks for a living in the Ziyu Mountains all have fixed channels for selling their stolen goods, otherwise how can they be exchanged for treasures that can improve their cultivation after successful hunting?

"Quack quack quack" The two cormorants who were heading towards the palm trees suddenly screamed, and their soft fur stood on end immediately, as if they were frightened by something.

The two low-rank cormorants of the first rank are pitiful and weak in combat power, but their sense of danger is much better than him, and they can cause such a strong reaction from the cormorants, at least they are relatively powerful first-rank mid-rank monsters.

Zhao Shoushou was in the front, and the two cormorants were in the back. Soon a simple but effective three-talent array was set up. He didn't dare to be careless in the face of a strong enemy. The newly refined first-tier mid-grade dragon ring sword was already in his hand , the first-order low-grade defensive magic weapon, the fine iron shield, is close to the arm and can be activated at any time.

"I don't know where it is, fellow daoist. Zhao is just a penniless casual cultivator living in the Ziyu Mountains. Even if he hunts and kills him, he won't gain much. Why not let a certain horse go?" Divine sense swept around There was no trace of the monster, so Zhao Shoushou shouted loudly in an attempt to scare the snake away.

I don't know if the trick was seen through or the enemy who never showed up was too cunning, and there was no response for about a quarter of an hour, which made him especially uneasy.

Just like a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles on the battlefield and regards life and death as nothing, even on the eve of a big battle, he can still sleep peacefully. Therefore, what he faces must be a skilled and powerful opponent.

"In this case, Zhao wants to see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?" Zhao Shoushou muttered, and led the two cormorants forward quickly with a frightened and cautious look, as if to get rid of it as soon as possible.

However, the purpose of going forward has never changed. It is near the palm grove in the Purple Jade Mountains. His first goal is still the core wine worms that make wine koji.

"A casual practitioner on the fourth level of Qi training, two low-level first-level spirit beast cormorants are rare, and there is even a first-level middle-level magic weapon, which is a bit difficult to handle." At the top of two trees not far from Zhao Shoushou, A thin man in black made a basic judgment.

"Strong opponents will have greater gains. Otherwise, the shop boy will charge 20 yuan for low-grade spirit stones. Wouldn't you and my brother want to drink the northwest wind? Everything will be carried out according to the plan." The person who spoke was exchanging information with the shop boy in Xiaofang City. monk.

The two brothers behind did not have any conversation. After confirming the basic combat power of the target, they leaped from another direction through a silk thread, and quickly overtook Zhao Shoushou at a speed beyond the norm.

As for their so-called plan, they didn't reveal anything, and the two brothers were even more confident. It seemed that they had won several victories in the same way before.

Half a day later, he arrived at the largest palm grove outside the Purple Jade Mountains without any danger along the way. He only understood the meaning of wine worms when he smelled the scent of wine.

Wine worms feed on the white milk excreted from palm trees. The excrement of these trees is almost the most concentrated natural liquid wine. Zhao Shoushou is planning to use these strange treasures to find traces of wine worms.

"Damn it, I chose to sneak attack on Zhang because of a wine worm. I will repay this revenge generously in the future." Suddenly, a strange voice came to my ears, and it came from the palm grove not far away.

"Fellow daoist, please help me. How about giving me a wine worm as a reward afterwards?" Soon as the woods shook, a thin man with blood all over his face was asking him for help.
