Chapter 894 Good News
Qingyang had a premonition that taking these grapes would bring him great benefits, but he did not expect the benefits to be so great that it directly pushed his cultivation to the perfection of foundation building, saving him at least five or six years of cultivation time. Just half a bunch of grapes has raised the cultivation of a foundation-building cultivator by half a level. This spiritual fruit is really a good thing, and it is worth Qingyang's waiting for so many years.
Looking at the remaining bunch of grapes, Qingyang was reluctant to eat it. Grapes simply increase energy and true essence. Now that his cultivation has reached the perfection of foundation building, there is no more room for improvement. Before breaking through the golden elixir, he can only continuously refine and purify his cultivation, consolidate and strengthen his foundation. This is a delicate job, and it is a slow and steady job. Eating this spiritual thing again will not have much effect.
This good thing cannot be wasted. After thinking it over and over again, Qingyang decided to use the remaining bunch of grapes to make wine, and then mix it into the jars of monkey spirit wine that have been stored for the longest time, to preserve the energy in the grapes to the maximum extent, and perhaps achieve unexpected results.
Do it as soon as you think of it. Qingyang then handed the grapes to the Iron Arm Monkey and supervised him to wash and process the grapes. After a series of production procedures, he dug out the jar of Monkey Spirit Wine that had been stored in the Drunken Immortal Gourd for the longest time and poured it into the jar to brew together.
After doing all this, the Iron Arm Monkey sealed the jar and buried it in the ground. The rest was fermentation. After a certain number of days, it could be taken out and drunk. This kind of spirit wine is indestructible and can be buried underground. The longer it is stored, the better the effect of the spirit wine.
The Drunken Immortal Gourd has a huge bonus effect on the storage of spirit wine. The earliest jars of Monkey Spirit Wine have been buried in Qingyang for more than 60 years, and have long become thousands of years of aging. Now he has added rare spirit fruits in the world. The spirit wine brewed must be a peerless wine. Even if it is not as good as the spirit wine essence obtained in the secret place, it is probably not much worse.
After burying the wine jar underground, Qingyang repeatedly warned the Iron Arm Monkey that he must not touch the wine jar without his permission, and then he flashed out of the Drunken Immortal Gourd.
Qingyang's retreat this time was not too long, and with the time he took to refine the grape energy in the Drunken Immortal Gourd, it was only a few months at most. Before the retreat, Qingyang was only at the ninth level of the foundation building, but after coming out, he became a perfect foundation building. It was difficult to explain that he had improved his cultivation by half a level in a few months.
However, Qingyang's identity has always been very mysterious in the eyes of others. When he was at the eighth level of the foundation building, he was able to fight against a fifth-level Jindan cultivator. He could not be measured by ordinary people's standards. It seemed understandable that some special circumstances occurred. What if he used special skills to conceal his cultivation before?
From another perspective, even if someone saw the abnormality, they probably wouldn't dare to have any small thoughts about Qingyang. Ten years ago, the eighth level of the foundation building could block the fifth level of the Jindan and kill the blood-clothed man at the first level of the Jindan. Now that the foundation building is perfect, I'm afraid none of these cultivators present is an opponent.
It was for these reasons that Qingyang dared to eat the bunch of grapes boldly in the Drunken Immortal Gourd before, and allowed his cultivation to break through from the ninth level of foundation building to the perfect foundation building.
After leaving the Drunken Immortal Gourd, Qingyang meditated in the quiet room for a while, adjusted his mentality a little, and was about to go out. At this time, someone outside triggered the protective ban of the room. Qingyang hurriedly opened the room, and Master Shi Han, Xiying, and Xiao Yuhan walked in together.
Seeing Qingyang, Master Shi Han showed a trace of surprise on his face and said, "Master Qingyang's cultivation has improved again? I came to you twice before, but you didn't respond. I guessed that you might have reached a critical moment in your cultivation, and it turned out to be to break through the perfect foundation building in one fell swoop."
Before Qingyang ate the bunch of grapes, it took him half a month to refine it. When he was in the Drunken Immortal Gourd, he couldn't feel the fluctuations of the formation in the room, so he didn't know that Master Shi Han came to find him. Just as Qingyang expected, he was too mysterious in the minds of others. Master Shi Han didn't think there was anything unusual about the fact that he had improved his cultivation by half a level in a short period of time.
"Master Shi Han, what do you want to see me for?" Qing Yang asked in surprise.
During the voyage, Qing Yang had been practicing in seclusion. Other cultivators would not come to disturb him unless there was something important. Master Shi Han actually came to see him several times in a row. Could something big have happened?
Master Shi Han smiled and said, "I came here to tell you good news. We are not far from the Ancient Wind Continent. With the speed of the spirit ship, it will take at most half a month to reach Jiuxian City, the northernmost part of the Ancient Wind Continent. Please prepare yourself, Master Qingyang."
Xiying beside him added, "Junior Brother Qingyang has been in seclusion for some time and doesn't know what is happening outside. Two days ago, we met a group of cultivators who went out to sea to hunt monsters. We asked them about the route and knew our approximate location."
Xiao Yuhan also smiled and said, "Yes, I heard from them that this place is only about 100,000 miles away from the Ancient Wind Continent. The nearest one is the famous Jiuxian City in the Ancient Wind Continent. In other words, in more than ten days, we will be able to reach our destination."
The three of them talked one after another and soon made things clear. It turned out that they were about to reach the Ancient Wind Continent. No wonder they were so happy.
Many cultivators who came to the Ancient Wind Continent from the Zhongsha Region were desperate when there was no hope of breaking through. They almost risked their entire fortune just to find that illusory opportunity.
They experienced so many hardships and dangers along the way that they still feel scared when they think about it. They were ambushed by the men in blood-stained clothes before they even set out, and Liu Wei even lost her life because of it. There were several similar dangers afterwards, and in the worst case, the old servant Zhou An lost his life.
When encountering danger, not only will the monks be injured, but the spiritual ship they are riding will also be damaged. Among them, the number of minor repairs is countless, and the major repairs that hurt the bones and muscles have also been experienced two or three times. If it weren't for Master Shi Han, a skilled equipment refiner, and if he hadn't brought enough repair materials with him, the spiritual ship might have fallen apart halfway, and I don't know how many more twists and turns it would have experienced.
In addition to danger, it is a waste of time. Sailing on the sea for ten years is monotonous and boring, with no fun at all. It's boring enough to drive people crazy. That's because they are all foundation-building monks who have experienced long-term seclusion and can persist.
Another problem on the way is the lack of elixirs. The accumulated spiritual stones are all spent on the spiritual ship. There is no extra spiritual stones available. There is no other source of income on the spiritual ship. They can only rely on absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world to improve their cultivation. The speed is extremely slow. At least half of the monks have stagnated in their current realm in the past ten years, with almost no improvement.
