Swallowing the Stars Starts with the Brewing Master

Chapter 19: A visitor from the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School, news about the spirits of plants and trees
A month after leaving that small forest.

Supply base, second floor of Villa 203, in the bedroom.

Chu He had just taken a hot bath and relaxed for a while. He was lying on the bed, thinking, "Where should I go next?"

During this month, Chu He basically visited all the small forests near this supply base.

It was not known whether he was unlucky or there was something wrong with the Feng Shui of the Changbai Mountain range. Over the past month, he had searched for nearly a thousand kinds of spiritual materials and perfected several different recipes for red blood wine, but the spiritual materials for spiritual materials that Chu He wanted most, in terms of spirit or energy, were extremely rare.

"Fortunately, the materials for the higher-grade Red Blood Wine have been gathered, and the White Jade Wine Pot has begun brewing on its own."

Looking at the Frost Shadow Deer's heart gradually decomposing under the effect of the Spirit Dissolving Liquid in the white jade wine pot, Chu He finally felt a little comforted.

"Looks like in about six or seven days, the mid-level Warlord-grade Red Blood Wine using this Frost Shadow Deer heart as the main ingredient will be ready."

"Or, why not just go back now? Wait at home for a few days. After drinking this wine, it will probably be enough to raise my warrior strength to the intermediate level of general."

"At this rate, it will be more than enough to reach the God of War level within a year."

Thinking of this, Chu He decided to leave.

suddenly.

"Chuhe! Chuhe!"

A rough shout was heard outside the villa.

"Hey, did you say that Chu He is in this villa 203?" The owner of the rough voice seemed to be asking the people around him.

"That's right, Manager Zhou." A staff member from the base replied.

Chu He recognized the voice as belonging to the staff member who handed him the villa key and was also the person who had purchased the most monster materials from him in the past month.

Seeing that he was old, Chu He usually called him Brother Liu.

"What's going on? This Liu guy actually handed over my identity information like that? Also, who is this Manager Zhou?"

Questions instantly exploded in Chu He's mind.

He had never thought that he would encounter such a thing in the supply base. You know, this warrior supply base is inside the military area!

Before Chu He could think about it, the staff member surnamed Liu had already shouted, "Chu He! Open the door quickly, there's a distinguished guest!"

"This is Director Zhou from the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School in Northeast Base City. I'm here because I heard about your situation and want to bring you to the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School's elite training camp!"

The staff member named Liu's tone was full of envy.

At the same time, many warriors who heard these words near the villa cried out in surprise.

"Who? Chu He? The one who spent a month alone in the wilderness?"

"Yes, that's him! That's over a month ago, he must be a high-level warrior... He's not even human!"

"What's wrong with more than a month? Can't you just find a place to hide? Why are you so surprised?" asked a new warrior who was unaware of the situation.

"Do you think they're just hiding? Every seven or eight days they bring back the body parts of one or two hundred Beast Soldier-level monsters, and many of them are even at the Junior General level!"

"Hiss! So powerful!" When the new warrior heard this, he began to admire Chu He in his heart.

Although the body materials of beast-soldier-level monsters are not very valuable, a sufficient quantity can completely make up for the difference in quality.

Everyone knows that the physical material of one hundred high-level beast soldiers is similar to that of a primary beast general.

However, it is much more difficult to kill one hundred high-level beast soldiers in a row than to simply kill a low-level beast general!

Now, they can bring back the body parts of one or two hundred high-level beast soldiers every seven or eight days...

Not to mention, there are quite a few primary beast generals inside.

Putting aside other things, just the money earned must be around 10 or 20 million per week, right?
The most difficult thing is that Chu He has persisted like this for more than a month.

What these people didn't know was that Chu He didn't bring back all the physical materials of the high-level beast soldiers.

After all, the main task he set for himself was to find and analyze inspiration.

In the living room on the first floor of Villa 203, Chu He sat opposite Zhou, the director of the Northeast Base City Thunderbolt Martial Arts School. As for the staff member surnamed Liu, he retreated as soon as he saw Chu He open the door.

Facing Director Zhou, who was sitting on the sofa without saying a word, but just looking at him silently, and occasionally showing a mysterious smile, Chu He finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked:
"Manager Zhou, I think... you should have heard my attitude towards the elite training camp from Manager Zhao of the Extreme Martial Arts School, right?"

"Yes, I did hear it. The old guy's evaluation of you was quite impolite." Manager Zhou patted his black combat uniform and replied with a smile.

"Then why did you come here in person?" Chu He saw that the other party finally spoke, and spoke frankly, "If you expect me to change my mind and go to the elite training camp at the Leidian Martial Arts School, forget it."

"My attitude remains the same. Going there would contradict my plans."

"Of course, of course." Manager Zhou still had a smiling face, which was in stark contrast to the rough voice he had outside the villa before.

"Chu He, I'm sure you know that there's a huge gap between the elite training camp at my Thunderbolt Martial Arts School and the one at the Extreme Martial Arts School, especially after Luo Feng appeared at the Extreme Martial Arts School..."

As Manager Zhou was speaking, he suddenly noticed that Chu He's expression became a little strange. He quickly stopped and asked, "What's that expression on your face?"

Chu He then remembered that Luo Feng was confirmed to have been trapped in the No. 9 ancient civilization ruins three months after September 29th.

Even so, the Extreme Martial Arts School temporarily concealed the matter. It was not until October 2058, a full year later, that Hong finally let it go and announced Luo Feng's "death news" on the Extreme Martial Arts School's official website.

Thinking of this, Chu He immediately replied casually: "Oh, nothing, I just admire you for mentioning Luo Feng."

"alright."

Although Manager Zhou looks a bit rough, he is actually quite thoughtful and can tell at a glance that Chu He is not telling the truth.

But that doesn't matter.

Manager Zhou chose to skip this question and continued, "Because the gap is too large and getting bigger, I'm starting to hear some adjustments to the way my Leidian Martial Arts School operates its elite training camp."

"Adjustment?" Chu He finally heard what he was interested in.

In the original novel, there was little mention of the elite training camp of the Leidian Martial Arts School. Chu He naturally didn't know any relevant information about this adjustment.

"That's right! In India, there's a man named Sago Nehru who's a genius psychic. This adjustment was made just for him."

Manager Zhou explained casually, but his eyes were fixed on Chu He, and his expression became unusually serious. "Chu He, you don't want to join the elite training camp, it's simply because you have your own training plans."

"What if I can guarantee that if you agree to join the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School, you won't have to go to the elite training camp, but you can still access the training resources there?"

"Whether it's the Chalcedony from my Thunder and Lightning Martial Arts School or the Dragon Blood from the Extreme Martial Arts School, you can obtain them once your strength reaches the standard."

"In that case, are you willing to join the elite training camp of my Thunder Martial Arts School?"

To be honest, Chu He was a little moved!
He could obtain cultivation resources without going to an elite training camp... Although he had to meet the corresponding standards, this was undoubtedly an option that was extremely suitable for him.

"Thunderbolt Martial Arts School... aren't they worried about my personality? Didn't you say that Manager Zhao had a very..."

"Hahahaha!" Manager Zhou laughed out loud. "In my opinion, that's no big deal!"

"If you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person!"

"A genius must have the arrogance of a genius!"

"That old Zhao is just too rigid and stubborn. How could he possibly recruit a genius with that kind of attitude?"

Only then did Chu He finally see some of the roughness and heroism of Manager Zhou.

"Of course, if you want to join my Thunder Martial Arts School with this adjustment, you still need to complete an assessment."

"According to the information I received from the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School, there is a clue about a plant spirit in County 0316."

"County No. 0316? Spirit of plants and trees?"

Upon hearing this news, Chu He's tone changed slightly.

County Town No. 0316, isn’t that the one he went to with the Jackal Squad before!
So, this spirit of plants...could it be that it is in that fog?
"Excellent!" Manager Zhou laughed heartily, like a fox that had finally caught a pheasant. "Your assessment task is to find out whether there are any plant spirits in there."

"And, if there is one, what exactly is that plant spirit?"
