I will survive with proficiency

Return to Tianyan City.

Chen Ping didn't go back to the winery directly, but went to the magic clothing store first, and ordered a third-tier low-grade magic robe.

The group of collecting herbs made Chen Ping realize the value of Tiangang boots, which are also low-grade third-tier boots.

In the process of avoiding the pursuit of the octagonal deer, Tiangang boots played an inestimable value.

It is necessary to give myself another high-level robe.

The third-tier magic robe was also scheduled for five months. After completing all the formalities, Chen Ping turned around and returned to Jiannanchun Winery.

in the bedroom.

After Chen Ping closed the door, he first refined the storage bag of the pharmacist.

Cleaned up the finances inside.

[1 storage bag, 3 high-grade spirit stones, 398 medium-grade spirit stones, 668 low-grade spirit stones, 1 step shaker, 2 jade slips, and 1 jade pendant. There are a few pills and talismans, and a bunch of other items. 】

The storage bag is 6 square, which is not bad.

There is a walking shaker inside, and it can be seen that this storage bag is the storage bag of the second sister.

The so-called step shaking means that there are hanging beads on it, and the step shakes.

Women usually insert it on the side of their temples for decoration, and it also has the function of fixing the bun.

The two jade slips are the cheats of the herb-gathering family, and one of them marks the distribution of high-end spiritual materials in the Tianyan domain and some wild forests on the west side.

The other book records some knowledge about the cultivation of spiritual materials, full of notes. Not only high-end spiritual materials, but also common spiritual materials such as butterfly evening primrose, Chen Ping couldn't help thinking of those butterfly evening primroses by the stream.

All good books.

That piece of jade pendant is a piece of jade pendant of gathering spirits. This is not an illegal weapon, it has no grade, it is made of natural jade artifacts.

This kind of jade pendant is usually rare.

It belongs to the good goods that can't be met.

Chen Ping immediately put it on his body, inside the robe to make sure it wasn't exposed.

Immediately, I sat down and ran the exercises to feel it. The spirit-gathering effect is very good. If I have to make a comparison, the spirit-gathering effect is better than the second-order top-grade magic weapon.

More importantly, this piece of jade pendant has the effect of filtering aura, the aura gathered through this piece of jade pendant is very mellow, and the flow of aura is very soft.

It is more conducive to being used by monks.

'nice one! '

Chen Ping couldn't put it down.

This is probably the most valuable item to him among these properties.

The aura of Jiannanchun Distillery is not very good at present, but with this jade pendant, it can just make up for it.

Chen Ping tidied up these belongings by category, and sorted out the income in the Lingzhi bag.

Then he went out of the bedroom and handed Zhu Hongguo and six high-grade Mu Helians to Yu Lingchun. Mu Helians needed to be planted, and Zhu Hongguo could be dried first and sold later.

The six top-grade muhelians are at least a little less.

But barely enough.

And maybe the medicine shop can help find some, there are still more than half a year.

As for the eight-horned deer in the spirit beast bag, it is not going to be released for the time being, just treat it once in a while, and keep it weak is the best way.

I'll look for another chance later to see if I can tame it into a spirit beast.

If they cannot be domesticated, they will be killed and sold for meat.

However, the spirit beast bags need to buy a few.

Now the cloud-winged bird and the nine-colored colorful cicada do not have their own spirit animal bags, which is somewhat inconvenient.

After explaining to Yu Lingchun, Chen Ping devoted himself to wine making again.

This trip took more than 20 days, and he had to devote himself as soon as possible to make up for the lost time.

Two and a half months later.

Chen Ping's winemaking technique of unknown wine has reached "Expert: 1/1000".

In terms of quality, the expert-level wine has far surpassed the Drunken Immortal Flower brewed by the old winemaker. In other words, this wine has met the requirements of Fairy Xiyue.

But Chen Ping decided to continue brushing.

Let's talk about it at the master.

He wasn't sure if Fairy Xiyue simply liked the taste of this wine, or if she knew the story behind this wine.

If it is the former, it can be traded now.

But this is not a good thing, if it is only the taste that attracts her, it may not be possible to exchange this wine for her shot.

Chen Ping prefers the latter.

In this way, as long as the liver continues, the weight of the wine will be large enough, and the implementation of equivalent exchange will be more feasible.

Of course, that's the end of the matter.

Chen Ping is drinking this wine now, not only to save Yu Lingchun, but personally, this wine is also very precious to him, even if it can only improve a little bit of his physique, it is worth it to him.

At least try it out.

A few days later, while the wine was being brewed behind closed doors, Daoyou Ling suddenly came to visit him, and his expression was not very good.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, come in and have a seat." Chen Ping went to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, and Chen Ping seemed to have something important to do.

Cultivator Ling shook his head:

"Hey, I won't sit down anymore. Well, Fellow Daoist Shen's Taoist partner has passed away. Hey, Fellow Daoist Chen should go see you off too. Seeing that Fellow Daoist Chen hasn't opened the door, I'm here to talk to Fellow Daoist Chen."

Hearing this, Chen Ping was startled.

He died unexpectedly.

The Taoist couple who met Shen Jiudi a few months ago, although his face was very ugly, he looked young.

I never thought that in just a few months, there is a separation between yin and yang.

Chen Ping lightly said:

"When did this happen?"

"Only two hours ago, I just went to visit Fellow Daoist Shen's house for nothing, only to see Fellow Daoist Shen hugging the corpse of his Taoist companion, kneeling in the yard in a daze. Only after asking did I realize that he had been dead for two hours." Ling The monk sighed.

"Let's go and have a look together." Chen Ping went out.

The door of Shen Jiudi's Fengquan Winery was ajar, Chen Ping entered, and Brother Ling continued to inform other neighbors.

In Fengquan winery, there are already some neighbors who help, including servants. One or two were comforting Shen Jiudi, while some other monks began to hang up mourning flags and white gauze in the yard.

The atmosphere of the whole wine shop is sad.

Everyone doesn't have much to say. Most of the winemakers stationed in Zuixianxiang have their own stories behind them, and this kind of scene is the most touching.

Today is Shen Jiudi, tomorrow it may be Shen Badi, and the day after tomorrow it may be Shen Qidi's turn.

After a while, more and more neighbors came. From the mouths of these fellow Taoists, Chen Ping also learned about Shen Jiudi's Taoist couple.

It turned out that Shen Jiudi and his Taoist companion were both Foundation Establishment cultivators. When she was traveling abroad more than ten years ago, her Taoist companion was tricked by someone and poisoned by a heretical soft fairy poison.

Although the life was saved afterwards, the root cause of the disease also fell.

It will happen once every two years, and every time it breaks out, life is worse than death, and life is at stake.

But this time, it didn't make it through.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, my condolences." Chen Ping walked over to comfort him.

Shen Jiudi turned a deaf ear to Chen Ping's words, but just knelt on the ground blankly, muttering to himself:

"Why did you leave?"

"Why did you leave?"

"Didn't it be agreed? When my husband and I find the art of brewing wine, you and I will wander the world together. Why did you leave first?"

"My husband will definitely be able to brew the drunken fairy flower, why don't you wait for me?"

"Friend Daoist Shen." A neighbor called him.

"Why did you leave?"

"Why did you leave?"

"..."

Shen Jiudi is immersed in her own world.

Chen Ping didn't bother him, any consolation in this situation is superfluous.

What Shen Jiudi needs is time.

Chen Ping helped Fengquan Winery for a long time, until his Taoist companion became immortal, and everyone slowly dispersed.

night.

After communicating with Yu Lingchun in depth for a while, I have to say that this girl is getting more and more fresh.

It is completely made of water.

"You Daoyou (Shen Jiudi Taoist couple) is very pitiful. I talked to her. She has been in pain all these years, but she didn't want to make Shen Jiu worry, so she didn't say anything." Yu Lingchun fell into Chen Ping's arms.

Chen Ping hugged her:

"It can be regarded as a relief."

"But you don't need to worry. When the wine is successfully brewed, I will go to Fairy Xiyue."

In the past few months, the Drunken Immortal Flower has begun to take shape, and Yu Lingchun knows it.

She didn't expect this at first, but just like You Daoyou, following Chen Ping here with the mentality of obeying her husband.

Even pretending to be strong to make myself smile often.

But after more than half a year, she found that her husband was so powerful that he found the drunk fairy flower silently.

The smile on her face turned into a genuine smile.

Will Fairy Xiyue be willing to help? She doesn't know anymore. What she knew was that both she and her husband had done their best.

I have been very happy for the past half year.

That's enough.

"Well. By the way, those spiritual plants have been fed, but the quality is not easy to improve. Only one or two spiritual plants have improved a little bit. This is thanks to the blessing of the spirit wine." Yu Lingchun buzzed.

Chen Ping hummed:

"Let's raise it first. It doesn't matter whether the quality is improved or not, as long as the quality is maintained and the quality is not reduced. According to the current progress, it will be used in a few months."

Yu Lingchun agreed and said:

"Among the three maids, Xiaocui has the best talent for nurturing spiritual plants. I think she is not bad. I will teach her some skills for nurturing spiritual plants. In the future, she may be able to help."

Chen Ping smiled and said nothing.

This girl still doesn't quite believe that Xiyue is willing to make a move.

...

Three days later.

Chen Ping went to Guo Zizhao's side. In the past few months, the sales of the magical artifacts of the two of them have been carried out in an orderly manner. Now they have sold out the first-level magical artifacts and robes.

Chen Ping took 30 second-order magical artifacts and handed them over to them, and took back the proceeds from the previous sale.

The second-order magic weapon will be much more expensive, relatively speaking, the sale will be much slower, and the risk is relatively high, so it is suitable for small quantities and multiple times.

The two of them were very curious about how Chen Ping had so many magic weapons, so he could open a magic weapon shop.

But I just thought about it in my heart and didn't ask much.

When Chen Ping returned to Drunken Immortal Lane, he accidentally saw a series of eye-catching big characters engraved on the pole of the locust tree owned by Brother Ling——

——Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor.

Chen Ping grinned.

It seemed that he saw Brother Ling standing on the street, facing a group of monks who made fun of him, blushing, and finally shouted out this heroic declaration angrily.

Next time I have to tell Fellow Daoist Ling that I must not say that I taught him.

It's too shameful to spread the word.

Back at Jiannanchun Distillery, Chen Ping once again devoted himself to wine making and couldn't extricate himself.

Time passed day by day.

Another day, Chen Ping habitually went out of the winery to get some air, but was surprised to see that the signboard of Fengquan Winery had been broken in two, one half was hanging crookedly above the gate, and the other half fell to the ground, unattended. .

Chen Ping was taken aback.

Has Shen Jiudi moved away?

He went forward and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. That's right, Shen Jiudi brewed wine for his Taoist companion. Now that his Taoist companion is gone, what else is there to brew?

None of these people in Zuixianfang knew the story behind Wumingjiu.

Maybe they were startled by Chen Ping's knock on the door, and the neighbors, the pretty widow and fellow Daoist Ling, all came out.

"Chen Daoyou, don't knock it." Ling Daoyou sighed: "That was Shen Daoyou himself. He is probably not in the winery at the moment."

"Friend Daoist Shen moved away?" Chen Ping asked.

This Shen Jiudi is probably complaining about the wine making process.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to move away and smash the signboard.

"I haven't moved away. But..." Brother Ling said with regret on his face: "You may not know that Daoist Chen rarely goes out. If you go out often, you can often see Fellow Daoist Shen on the streets outside, especially in taverns. Fellow Daoist Shen Lost my heart, I often sleep in taverns, and I don’t come back often when I have this tavern.”

lost heart?

Is it crazy?

Chen Ping was extremely shocked:

"What do you think Ling Daoyou said?"

Cultivator Ling looked gloomy:

"Since the Taoist companion passed away, Fellow Daoist Shen has often muttered and talked nonsense. It has become more and more serious recently, and he seldom returns home. He even complained about Fairy Xiyue. Hey, I hope he can leave soon. Come out."

Unexpectedly, Shen Jiudi's affection was so deep.

Totally sucked himself in.

It's a good thing to be on a fairy road, but it's not a bad thing?

If you can pick it up but can't put it down, how can you cultivate an immortal.

It's hard for Chen Ping to judge, this is Shen Jiudi's calamity.

Only he can overcome it.

"By the way, this drunken fairy flower is not easy to brew. At the previous reception, Longxin Distillery advocated collaboration among winemakers, learning from each other's strengths, and jointly exploring the drunken fairy flower. I have reached a consensus with a winemaker, and they will be merged in the near future. Wine shop." Brother Ling recovered from Shen Jiudi's topic, said slowly, and reminded:

"Chen Daoyou and Qu Daoyou (Pretty Widow), why don't you work together? In my opinion, you two are the most suitable, as close neighbors, you can merge the winery by tearing down one of the walls, and you can also take advantage of each other's strengths." , to make up for our own deficiencies. It can greatly save time for research, and it is really a win-win move.”

Hearing this, Chen Ping didn't say anything yet. The pretty widow next door hugged the robe that wrapped Miaoman's body:

"Ah, I don't know much about wine making, so I don't want to delay fellow Daoist Chen. Two days ago, a winemaker invited me, and I already agreed to her."

The pretty widow smiled... In fact, no other winemaker invited her, but she somewhat looked down on working with Chen Ping.

Cooperation pays attention to matchmaking.

Chen Ping has only been here for half a year.

And judging from her previous communication with Chen Ping, Chen Ping didn't have much experience in wine making at the beginning, nor did he come from a wine making family.

She has been self-taught to make Zuixianhua for more than two years, and she has wine making experience before coming here.

It is far from what Chen Ping can compare.

She was even a little displeased with Brother Ling in her heart, thinking why you didn't cooperate with Chen Daoyou, because she disliked Chen Daoyou's short brewing time.

Chen Ping smiled and said nothing.

He himself will not choose to cooperate with others.

In the world of cultivating immortals, all that is paid attention to is benefits, and favors are always second.

Wouldn't it be nice to brew wine silently by yourself?

...

A few days later, when Chen Ping passed by a tavern on the street, he saw Shen Jiudi who was very drunk, with red eyes, talking loudly there.

"I'm guessing that this drunken fairy flower is simply an unfounded wine. Has anyone seen it before? No one?"

"It's fake, it's all fake, fabricated. It caused us to waste years of time here, mother."

"Fairy Xiyue is not a good person either. This cultivator even suspects that she is an accomplice and has interests to entangle with. Don't you all see this wine shop full of streets? How many families have made a lot of money?"

"..."

The more you say it, the more outrageous it is.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Nascent Soul monks are prone to accidents.

Chen Ping tried to stop him out of his old neighbor's affection, but to no avail.

Shen Jiudi even talked more and more vigorously.

"..."

"Bah, fairy? What fairy? Is she worthy?"

"How many monks in this street want to see her. She even needs to make a small move to save my life. What about her? Has she ever appeared?"

"Hetui!"

"..."

"Don't talk anymore, don't talk anymore." Seeing that the topic started to go wrong, the waiter in the shop hurriedly stopped it.

In the case of ineffectiveness, the shopkeeper had no choice but to use a spell to knock Shen Jiudi out.

Afterwards, they sent someone to send him back to Fengquan Winery.

Chen Ping didn't stay long, and quickly returned to his winery.

... In the future, I still seldom go out, and Yuanying will suffer sooner or later if he is angered.

What a mess.

This Shen Jiudi is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Brewing bars, or brewing is the safest.

Four months later.

In Jiannanchun Winery, Chen Ping happily took a sip of spirit wine.

Finally the "master".

[Unknown wine brewing technique (grandmaster): 1/1000. 】

After more than a year, it is finally possible to truly brew unnamed wine.

At present, most of the wine brewers brewed are "proficient" or "proficient" early wine, and they are not even considered to be the drunk fairy flower that has been missing for hundreds of years.

The middle and late stage of 'Proficiency' is equivalent to the spiritual wine brewed by the old brewer, which is the wine Fairy Xiyue likes to drink.

In the late stage of 'mastery', even after 'expert', legends are being created every day.

This difference in efficacy may not be tasted by ordinary monks.

But Chen Ping believed that Fairy Xiyue would definitely be able to.

As for the 'Consummation' level of wine...

hehe.

Fairy Xiyue is not worthy.

"Xiao Hong, go ask Madam to fetch high-grade spiritual materials." Chen Ping ordered.

Although there are few high-grade spiritual materials, the medicinal material shop has collected a lot in the past year or so.

Among the 8 kinds of fresh spiritual materials, except for Que Muhelian, which only has 8 plants, the other seven kinds have between 10 and 16 plants.

Chen Ping did some calculations, and it was probably enough for four times.

enough.

With my current technology, there is no possibility of mistakes.

"Yes, Patriarch." Xiaohongma hurried out.

After a while, Yu Lingchun brought 8 fresh spiritual materials:

"Husband, are you going to start brewing wine in a large brewery?"

"Well. You and Xiaohong prepare the medicinal materials, and I will make other preparations first. We will officially brew the drunken fairy flower today." Chen Ping ordered.

The preparation of these top-grade fresh spiritual materials is very particular. For example, the leaves of one of the spiritual materials are not ground as finely as possible, but to maintain the integrity of the leaf pattern in the center of the leaf. channel of force.

If it is completely ground, the effect will be greatly reduced.

this point is very important.

But these are not mentioned in the formula and craft, the formula only mentions how many taels this spirit material needs.

Chen Ping also learned about it under the guidance of the panel during the process of continuous liver wine making.

Chen Ping had already taken care of the large-capacity assembly line before, and made two attempts with inferior spiritual materials, without any problems.

Waiting for it to be officially put into use today.

After all the spiritual materials were ready, Chen Ping took a deep breath and started making wine.

...prepare, mix, cast, ferment, cast, cast, ferment, distill, cast, distill...

In order to make it ferment well enough, after entering the expert stage, the fermentation process is slowly extended. It can be accelerated with secret techniques, but it is not as effective as a long stream of water.

During liver experience, Chen Ping took shortcuts most of the time. Occasionally practice the trickle fermentation method.

At this moment, Chen Ping is not in a hurry to make wine, just ferment slowly.

It was not until fifteen days later that the first pot of unnamed wine was brewed.

Chen Ping took a sip with excitement. Although his skills were proficient, he was still a little nervous when it came to the critical moment of testing the results.

Take a sip, very sweet.

Fragrance, exactly.

The color is right.

The taste is right...

Chen Ping's hanging heart finally fell.

It's done.

Chen Ping took another sip and aftertaste, the spirit wine was very mellow, slightly spicy and sweet in the mouth. The fine liquid flowed into the abdomen, as if a mass of spiritual matter spread out in the stomach, and was quickly absorbed by the body.

That feeling is very comfortable.

"You take a sip too." Chen Ping smiled and handed it to Yu Lingchun.

Yu Lingchun took a sip, her eyebrows frowned slightly, it seemed that the slightly spicy taste was a bit choking, but because this thing was too precious, she swallowed it forcefully.

But immediately after that, there is an endless aftertaste of sweetness.

She stretched her eyebrows:

"Delicious....Is this the Drunken Immortal Flower?"

"This is the drunk fairy flower." Chen Ping smiled.

He thought to himself that Zui Xianhua could only be regarded as a younger brother in front of this spirit wine.

He picked up the jug and looked at it.

'The amount is not much, so many spiritual materials go down, and the final essence is just a pot. '

'About three catties. '

'During this period of time, another pot can be brewed, and the spiritual material is still enough. '

'Wait until the second pot comes out, get ready, and then go find Fairy Xiyue. '

Chen Ping continued to make wine.

During the fermentation period, I went to Guo Zizhao and Lin Changshou the next day, and gave them some magic tools again.

"Is the one in hand sold out?" Chen Ping asked.

"Brother, it's sold out. Two months later is the annual Tianyan City Auction Ceremony. During this period of time, many monks from other sects have come here one after another. It's a good time to sell." Guo Zizhao said hastily.

Chen Ping was taken aback.

It's the annual auction again?

so fast.

It turned out that a year had passed.

I really don't know the age of wine making.

Back to the winery, continue to brew the second pot of unnamed wine.

A few days later, Chen Ping, who was making wine, suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.

I went out to take a look, and saw many people standing outside discussing something in a low voice, and many monks began to walk towards the alley of Drunken Immortal Alley.

The Jiannanchun Distillery where Chen Ping was located was at the innermost corner of the alley. The alley was completely winding, and Chen Ping couldn't see what was going on outside.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, what happened outside?" Seeing Brother Ling coming back from outside, Chen Ping inquired.

"Friend Daoist Shen is dead." Cultivator Ling said cautiously.

dead...

Chen Ping didn't know whether Shen Jiudi's crazy look was a good thing or a bad thing for him:

"How did you die?"

Cultivator Ling came over and said in a low voice:

"Hey, it's normal for his mouth to cause trouble. It's good that he didn't die until today."

"I heard that he was so dissatisfied with Fairy Xiyue that he was so bold as to plan to murder Fairy Xiyue. Isn't there an annual auction coming soon? Fellow Daoist Shen actually thought of pretending to be a visitor from the Outer Sect to visit Tianyan Sect, saying that he wanted to Offering precious treasures of heaven, material and earth, I want to take the opportunity to kill Fairy Xiyue."

"I never thought that he would be discovered without even passing the pass at the mountain gate. He was crazy, and he planned some schemes. In the end, he was easily killed."

"His body is now hanging in the alley, and it is said that it is used as a warning to future generations. Hey, it looks so miserable."

Brother Ling clicked his tongue.

Chen Ping also felt tense.

He turned two alley corners and looked at the end of the alley from a distance. Shen Jiudi's body was hanging there, his body was riddled with holes, and there was a notice posted beside it.

For people to watch.

No one dared to remove his body.

Why bother!

Nascent Soul, you build the foundation, don't say what schemes you have, even if the Nascent Soul cultivator stands in front of you and asks you to kill, you may not be able to hurt others in the slightest.

Besides, Fairy Xiyue couldn't be blamed for this matter anyway.

For a monk with a high level of cultivation, it is his duty to be willing to help, and it is his duty not to help.

But it cannot be kidnapped morally.

Among the monks who came to Drunken Immortal Lane to take root, which of the problems that need to be solved behind them is not unusually cumbersome? Basically, it is a big trouble that the foundation is powerless, and even Jindan is powerless.

Just like Yu Lingchun, it often takes decades of continuous immortal rule.

With such a troublesome matter, why are people willing to help you for no reason?

Other people's time is also time.

Chen Ping does not recognize Shen Jiudi's values.

He also recognized the principle of equivalent exchange.

Mutual benefit is the longest cooperation model, not unilateral request.

Chen Ping sighed softly, and turned back to the winery.

He understands the truth.

But still quite emotional.

Is Shen Jiudi the first person to be extremely disappointed?

Certainly not.

The bearded man Chen Ping met when he first migrated left the scene full of disappointment.

In fact, except for him, everyone in this alley has only one path of fate.

That is to leave sadly.

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor, behind is don't bully the middle-aged and poor, don't bully the old and poor, the dead are the greatest.

This road is never easy!
