Longevity: Starting from the Talent of Infant Growth

Three days later, the preparations for the wine shop were complete. My mother asked my father to choose an auspicious day when everything was suitable, and then they opened the shop.

The location of the shop was on Xining Street, the main street in this area, at the intersection of my alley and Xining Street. The location was good.

Of course, the rent was not cheap.

The monthly rent for a shop of about 40 or 50 square meters was nine low-grade spirit stones.

The name of the shop was also simple. My mother simply called it "Zhou's Wine Shop".

The main product of the wine shop was still the spirit wine brewed from ordinary black rice wine. A small jar cost two broken spirits.

According to my parents' wishes, we continued to take the route of small profits but quick turnover.

Of course, there were other better spirit wines, with 20 or 30 broken spirits per jar.

This price was much cheaper than the spirit wines of the same grade on the market, and the spiritual power and taste were much better.

In this area, most of the practitioners were pharmacists and demon hunters. If they drank some spirit wine on weekdays, this price was still affordable.

And it could also assist in cultivation.

In addition, Yuan Hu had already dropped out of the Taoist Academy.

Zhou Ling asked him to come and help, so that his mother wouldn't have to work so hard.

As for his father's face that he couldn't sell spirit wine in the store, Li Ru asked him to buy black rice, wine jars and other materials.

Seeing his wife so busy, Zhou Shan didn't dare to mention going into the mountains anymore, and could only help his wife share some work every day.

After all, the wine shop was doing well, and the family's spiritual stone income was obviously much more than before.

A few days after opening, the amount of spirit wine sold every day gradually increased.

Especially with the arrival of winter.

The weather was getting colder, and drinking some spirit wine every day was the best enjoyment for most casual cultivators after a day's work.

And casual cultivators who had drunk the spirit wine of the wine shop would most likely come to buy it again.

After all, in several main streets nearby, the spirit wine brewed by their family was not only cheap, but also obviously better in quality than other families.

More and more casual cultivators bought spirit wine every day, and Li Ru was even busier.

But his spirit was better.

Brewing wine, developing various wine recipes, and brewing delicious spirit wine are what she likes to do.

Now she can also earn spirit stones for her son to continue to practice in the Taoist temple in the future.

You know, once admitted to the six major Taoist temples, the expenses will definitely be much higher than that of Xixia Taoist Temple.

So although life is much easier now, she dare not slack off when she thinks of her son's future practice and marrying and having children!

Originally, five or six furnaces were refined every day, but now at least eight or nine furnaces are needed to supply.

This also reflects the role of the first-level medium-quality brewing furnace.

It improves efficiency and reduces Li Ru's spiritual power consumption.

But after all, my mother is only at the fourth level of Qi training.

Refining ten furnaces a day is already the limit.

And as the end of the year approaches, business will definitely get better and better.

Zhou Ling thought in his heart that he should refine another first-level superior brewing furnace for his mother.

The first-level superior brewing furnace consumes less spiritual power, the quality of the spirit wine brewed will be better, and the output will be much greater than the first-level medium-quality brewing furnace.

This can greatly reduce the mother's daily workload.

Otherwise, with my mother's character, she would only think about making spirit stones and would not consider her own health at all.

She always thought that she was young and nothing would happen.

However, the price of materials for a first-grade superior winemaking furnace alone would cost hundreds of spirit stones.

It's not cheap!

In addition, I can't draw a first-grade superior steaming fire imprint now.

Normally, only in the late stage of Qi training can a first-grade superior imprint be drawn.

But with the help of beast fire and [precise control], perhaps as long as I enter the fifth level of Qi training, I can try it.

After all, I am already very proficient in this middle-grade steaming fire imprint.

······.

In a blink of an eye, a month passed, and the cold winter season arrived.

In the low sky, snowflakes as big as goose feathers fell silently, and Maple Leaf Mountain was covered with a layer of light snow.

In the quiet and empty mountains, the sound of snow falling like sand could be heard from time to time.

The courtyard was warm as spring, the grass was green, and the two fire maple trees were still full of red leaves, completely different from the other bare maple trees outside.

In the courtyard, one could not feel the cold outside at all.

"Squeak!"

The rock rat rushed into the courtyard from outside the bamboo fence, leaving a trail of rat paw prints on the snow.

As soon as it entered the courtyard, it stuck out its tongue, as if spewing out white smoke.

"Great, we're having hot pot at noon!"

In the main room, Wang Xin said happily, and looking at the dishes on the table, Kazilan's eyes were full of joy.

On the table, on a small stove, Zhou Ling placed the boiled spirit chicken soup.

There was still a small fire burning below, and the light milky yellow chicken soup was rolling, dotted with some ingredients such as coriander, without a trace of greasiness.

Next to it were three large plates of snow-white fish and bright red beef.

Zhou Ling served a bowl of chicken soup to the master and Wang Xin respectively, and then the three of them started eating.

A mouthful of sweet and fragrant spirit wine, plus a mouthful of slightly spicy and hot braised meat, a few big mouthfuls into the stomach, suddenly the whole body is hot.

Snowflakes are flying outside, but Zhou Ling and his friends are eating with sweat on their foreheads.

The rock rat gnaws the dried meat, raising its head from time to time to look at the table.

Eating hot pot and spirit wine, Zi Ling seems to be in a good mood, so she said to the two, "After more than a month of training, do you two feel any difference?"

Then her eyes first looked at Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling naturally gained a lot, but many of them were assisted by his talent, but the most direct results were the Spirit Flame Art and his spiritual consciousness.

He bowed and said, "Master, my Spirit Flame Art cultivation speed has obviously increased a lot, and my spiritual consciousness has also improved."

Wang Xin nodded repeatedly in agreement while eating with her mouth full.

Zi Ling picked up the wine gourd, took a big sip of wine, and said after a moment of silence, "The Lingyan Jue you practiced is just the most basic flame method."

"At most, you can practice to the initial stage of foundation building."

"Of course, the Wang family will have other flame attribute skills in the future."

"Xin'er's spiritual roots and physique are good, but Zhou Ling's spiritual roots are a little worse. Even if you have a good skill, you don't have much chance to break through the Jindan realm."

"As for comprehension and perseverance, you are all good!"

"And for more than a month, practicing under the fire maple tree, in addition to tempering your character, the fire essence released by the fire maple tree can also refine the spiritual energy in your body and temper your meridians and physique."

Zhou Ling listened carefully and thought to himself, "No wonder the spiritual flame and beast fire have been significantly improved in this month!"

As for the spiritual roots, he was also anxious!

Fortunately, the [Marrow Cleansing and Root Refining] talent has been activated now, and it can be activated as long as nine spiritual objects of heaven and earth are found.

However, with his current strength, it is naturally impossible to find spiritual objects of heaven and earth.

This is not a cabbage.

Perhaps I can only wait until I have established my foundation before I can find a way to find it.

Zhou Ling thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Master, I only know to do my best. As for the rest, I don't think too much!"

Zi Ling shook her head, looked at Zhou Ling, and said confidently, "My disciple Zi Ling can't just be a Jindan cultivator!"

"This is a green lotus fire seed. As long as you refine it, it will be of great help to your physique!"

As the words fell, a green jade lotus platform appeared out of thin air on her palm.
