Chapter 904 Wine Yeast
Among this group of foundation-building monks, the leader is an old man with a white beard named Jiuqu. He is 190 years old this year. It is said that his conditions are limited and he has been stuck in the cultivation of perfect foundation-building for nearly fifty years. , has never been able to break through the golden elixir, and can only hang out among the foundation-building monks.
However, he had participated in several wine tastings once or twice before, and he had a deep understanding of the wine tasting procedures. Many people specifically asked him for information, so he was very prestigious among the foundation-building monks.
They had been talking about the wine tasting party before. After exchanging greetings, everyone continued the previous topic and heard one of the monks say: "I come from a wine-making family and have learned the superb skills of brewing spiritual wine. I heard that the invitation Yuezhenjun likes spiritual wine, so he came here to seek refuge, hoping to find a place in the city lord's palace. However, after arriving, he realized that Jiuxian City is full of talents, and my ability to make wine is nothing at all. I'm afraid it's hopeless. "
Another monk said: "I also come from a wine-making family, but the purpose of coming here is simpler. The family's spiritual wine has been slow to sell recently, so I was sent to participate in the wine tasting party, hoping to get a good ranking in the wine tasting party, so as to Open up a market for the spiritual wine produced at home.”
Baotan Sanren said: "I am a poor cultivator. Although I have reached the perfection of foundation building, I am not able to break through the golden elixir. I heard that the city lord invited Yue Zhenjun to hold a wine tasting party, so I came to try my luck, hoping to get Yue Zhenjun. Guidance and opportunity for breakthrough.”
The purpose of Baotan Sanren coming here is different from Qingyang's. Qingyang just wanted to ask for a Wind and Fire Token. In order to come to Gufeng Continent, their master and disciple had already used up all their spiritual stones and had not prepared any other gold-forming elixirs. Materials and wind and fire orders cannot solve the problem, so we can only seek opportunities for breakthroughs.
Of course, Baotan Sanren understands that this kind of thing is not very reliable. Even if Zhenjun Yaoyue has a chance to break through the golden elixir, he must first give it to the people close to him. How could it be his turn to be an outsider? He had no choice but to do this. He was treating a dead horse like a living horse. What if he was lucky? You may not have a chance if you come, but you definitely won’t have a chance if you don’t come.
Everyone came here with their own purposes. Only Jiuquzi stroked his beard and said: "I am different from you. The old man has lived for 190 years now, and has less than ten years left to live. His various body functions are serious. Decline, even if there is a golden elixir at this time, it is unlikely to break through to the golden elixir realm. I don’t have many disciples and descendants. I have lived without desires and desires in this life, just waiting to die. However, I still have one hobby, This is what is in the cup. Although there are many fine spirits in Jiuxian City, they are still somewhat different from what I saw at the wine tasting party. Of course, such an event cannot be missed, so I shamelessly come to participate every time. "
The lifespan of a foundation-building monk is two hundred years, and that of a golden elixir monk is four hundred years. This is just a rough range. Not everyone is the same. It may be a few more years, or it may be a few years less. For example, King Liu Dan of Qingyan City has less than three years. He died at the age of one hundred and eighty, even though Qingyang helped him live for another twenty years. He lived several decades shorter than others because his foundation was too damaged when he was young.
This Jiuquzi can live to be 190 years old, which shows that he took good care of himself when he was young and did not damage his foundation. However, his lifespan is coming to an end and he still has a few years to live. Jiuquzi knows that his lifespan is short, but he does not regret himself. , relatively speaking, quite open-minded.
After listening to Jiuqu's words, Baotan Sanren couldn't help but ask: "Fellow Jiuqu, you have participated in wine tasting meetings several times. You should be very familiar with the procedures of this wine tasting meeting. I wonder if you can introduce it to us. We also It’s better to prepare in advance.”
Jiuqu said: "There is actually nothing to say about this. Since it is a wine tasting conference, there must be a wine tasting procedure. Every time Zhenjun Yueyue is invited, he will prepare some special spiritual wines and the monks present will evaluate them. In addition to this, , every monk comes with spiritual wine. The most important task of the wine tasting party is to rank the spiritual wine you brought. The top ranked ones will be purchased by Zhenjun Yaoyue at a high price. If you can get a certain amount of You can make a request for the ranking at this time, but whether you can agree to it still depends on Zhenjun Yaoyue's mood. As for other procedures, there will be some changes every time, and I can't say for sure at this time. "
There is no detailed explanation of the wine song, but everyone understands that Lord Yueyue is willing to buy your spiritual wine at a high price, which means that you are still in a good mood at that time. At this time, you can not give up the spiritual stone and make your own request. If this request is not difficult to handle When you arrive, Zhenjun Yaoyue may agree easily. He is a senior expert, so naturally he won't argue with you. If your request is too difficult to handle, or far exceeds the value of the spiritual wine, then you are greedy. Even the senior experts will be angry with those who press their noses, and they may not be able to eat anymore. Walk.
After thinking about it for a while, Baotan Sanren said again: "I wonder what kind of spiritual wine can win the favor of Zhenjun Yaoyue? Do we have any hope of ranking?"
"Well..."
Jiuquzi pondered for a while and said, "According to the usual practice, if you want to win the favor of Master Yaoyue, the spiritual wine must be at least of the Nascent Soul level, which means that it has certain benefits for Nascent Soul cultivators to drink. Low-level spiritual wine is difficult to enter the eyes of veteran Nascent Soul cultivators like Master Yaoyue. For example, the most common ancient Lingquan cellars in my Jiuxian City are Jindan-level spiritual wines, which are useful for Jindan cultivators, but much less useful for Nascent Soul cultivators. They must be stored in the cellar for hundreds or even thousands of years before Nascent Soul cultivators can appreciate them. As for the rest of us, it's just to broaden our horizons, but it's best not to have any extravagant hopes, because at every wine tasting, the winners are almost always Nascent Soul cultivators and Jindan cultivators, and the possibility of foundation-building cultivators winning a place is very small."
Jiuquzi's words made Baotan Sanren feel cold in his heart. He pinned all his hopes on this, but he didn't expect the competition at the wine tasting to be so fierce. Although the Jiugui Sect has declined, it still has some heritage. He has a jar of Jiugui Wine, the only one of his master's collection. If he cannot impress Master Yaoyue, the matter of forming a golden elixir will probably be a long way off.
Coming from Zhongsha Territory to Gufeng Continent, he and his apprentice stayed on the Jiubei Sanren Spirit Ship for a full ten years. The spiritual wine they prepared at the beginning had long been drunk up, and in the end they relied entirely on the ordinary wine in the Nawu Talisman to survive. He opened the jar of treasure several times, but in the end he was reluctant to drink it. In order to obtain the opportunity of the golden elixir, he gritted his teeth and took it out, but he didn't expect this result.
Baotan Sanren was a little unwilling and said, "Is there no hope for foundation-building cultivators?"
