Chapter 927 Brewing Yeast
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Qingyang walked forward for a distance, then turned into a remote alley. Seeing that there was no one around, he probed his mind into the Drunken Immortal Gourd.
It had only been a few hours since he came out of the ancient cellar of the City Lord's Mansion. The alcohol he inhaled had almost dissipated. With Pingzhen's profound skills, the drunkenness had long been driven away. The alcoholic bees absorbed too much alcohol in the ancient cellar, and they absorbed it actively, so the alcoholic bees were in the same situation as in the ancient cellar. At least 80% to 90% of the alcoholic bees were drunk.
Judging from their breath, the cultivation of the alcoholic bees has generally improved. Although the increase is not large, many alcoholic bees that have encountered bottlenecks seem to be on the verge of a breakthrough. According to Qingyang's estimation, when the alcoholic bees wake up, the number of purple-backed alcoholic bees will be at least dozens more.
Qingyang also saw the figure of the alcoholic queen bee in the drunken bee swarm. Seeing this, Qingyang couldn't help but feel happy, because the performance of the alcoholic queen bee now was very similar to the performance of the alcoholic queen bee when Qingyang just got the Drunken Immortal Gourd. At that time, the alcoholic queen bee was drunk by drinking the immortal wine in the wine pool, and then after a long sleep, she finally advanced to the blue-backed alcoholic bee.
Come to think of it, as early as ten years ago, the alcoholic queen bee had reached the peak of the sixth level, but she had never had the opportunity to break through. In the Drunken Immortal Gourd, the alcoholic bees never lacked spiritual wine. The monkey spiritual wine brewed by the iron-armed spirit monkey was buried and stored in the cellar. Qingyang and the iron-armed spirit monkey didn't drink much, and the rest was almost drunk by the alcoholic bees. With such a sufficient supply from Qingyang, even without the smell of wine in the ancient cellar, the alcoholic queen bee would not be too late to advance.
Seeing the appearance of the alcoholic queen bee, Qingyang understood that he was too impatient in the ancient cellar. Breaking through the golden elixir is a very complicated process. Whether it is a cultivator or a spirit beast or insect, it needs to be fully prepared. The time in the ninth floor of the ancient cellar is not enough. Therefore, after the alcoholic queen bee absorbed enough alcohol, it did not break through immediately, but waited until it returned to the Drunken Immortal Gourd and there was no danger around, and then fell into a deep sleep to prepare for advancement.
Once the alcoholic queen bee can really advance, it is equivalent to having a helper in the golden elixir stage, and the strength of the entire alcoholic bee colony will be greatly improved. The ability to survive in danger will be greatly improved in the future, and it will be more confident when facing the golden elixir cultivators.
It’s just that they are about to go to the Yinfeng Extreme Fire Cave. There must be a lot of dangers inside. The alcoholic bees are a great help to themselves, but the alcoholic queen bee is sleeping and will definitely not wake up in a short time. The remaining alcoholic bees may not be of much help in this trip to the Yinfeng Extreme Fire Cave. Fortunately, the six bee generals did not fall into a deep sleep, and they can still play a role more or less.
Before, Qingyang, the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey, and the Alcoholic Queen Bee were all facing breakthroughs. Now the Alcoholic Queen Bee has taken the lead. It is still unknown where Qingyang and the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey will have the opportunity. However, with the Wind and Fire Order, they are qualified to enter the Yinfeng Extreme Fire Cave. If they can get the Red Heart Rhythm Fruit and the Earth Fire Sulfur Dansha this time, the matter of refining the Golden Pill will be settled. I hope it will succeed.
After watching the alcoholic bees, Qingyang focused on the thing that the alcoholic queen bee brought back. It was a gray-yellow object, about the size of a fist, with a slightly sour smell, just like a piece of rotten food. If it weren't for the slight spiritual power on it, Qingyang really thought that the alcoholic queen bee took such a big risk and just picked up a piece of garbage.
Because the alcoholic queen bee fell into a deep sleep, Qingyang could not communicate with her, so he could only judge it himself. After careful observation, Qingyang almost saw that this should be a piece of yeast for brewing, and it was definitely a piece of top-grade yeast of a high grade.
Brewing spirit wine also requires yeast. If it is not used, the spirit wine brewed will be a level lower. Before, Qingyang asked the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey to brew spirit wine. Because of the simple conditions and the lack of suitable yeast, the spirit wine brewed was not of very high level, only of the Qi Refining level.
In the past, this monkey spirit wine was somewhat helpful to Qingyang and the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey, but now it is not very useful. It is more used to satisfy his temporary appetite. Unless it is the kind of spirit wine that has been stored for a long time and upgraded, it is useful. But how can there be so many spirit wines stored in the cellar?
Although the Drunken Immortal Gourd can speed up this process, it still takes a certain amount of time. Moreover, although the level of the spirit wine after storage has been upgraded, the quantity has also decreased. Sometimes several jars can be condensed into one jar. How can it withstand their large consumption?
After all, the ninth floor of the ancient cellar was abandoned by the cultivators because of the strong smell of alcohol. There is probably nothing good in it, and even this piece of brewing yeast was abandoned by them.
However, the wine in the ninth floor of the ancient cellar was so strong that even the Yuanying cultivators dared not enter. It was unknown how long it had been since anyone had gone down there. After countless years of nourishment and advancement, the level of this brewing yeast had been greatly improved, and it had become what it is today.
Qingyang judged that if the Iron Arm Monkey used this yeast to brew spirit wine in the future, the quality of the monkey spirit wine would be greatly improved, and it would start at almost the level of Jindan spirit wine.
As long as the brewing yeast is carefully maintained and properly preserved, it will continue to grow, and even continue to advance to a certain extent. At that time, the level of the spirit wine brewed will be even higher, which is equivalent to an inexhaustible treasure.
No wonder the alcoholic queen bee brought back this yeast at all costs when she was on the ninth floor of the ancient cellar, facing a breakthrough. This is a treasure worth a thousand gold.
With this ball of yeast, the monkey spirit wine brewed by the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey will no longer be a low-level spirit wine for Qingyang to satisfy his appetite, but a high-level spirit wine for proper use, which will have a significant effect on Qingyang and the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey. As for the alcoholic bees, the effect of this spirit wine will be even greater. If they can drink this high-level spirit wine for a long time, the strength of the alcoholic bees will increase faster. Perhaps without the help of the alcohol in the ancient cellar of the City Lord's Mansion, other alcoholic bees can be advanced.
This time, I went to the City Lord's Mansion to participate in the wine tasting. The time was not very long, but Qingyang's harvest was huge. The alcoholic bee queen got the opportunity to advance to the golden elixir. After waking up, she was a seventh-level spirit insect. She also brought back a piece of top-grade brewing yeast for me, which can be called a peerless treasure. It can directly upgrade my spirit wine by two levels. Compared with them, the wind and fire order is not the most important.
Thinking of this, Qingyang couldn't help but smile. His luck was still as good as always. This wine tasting was really the right thing to do.
