Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 34 Learning Spirit Brewing, First Encounter with Chen Yunzheng!

The Qi Nourishing Pill is suitable for cultivators in the mid-stage of Qi Refining. It was a spoil of war from the Battle of Emerald Lake, one of the dozen or so bottles of pills.

It is also the only bottle of pills suitable for the mid-stage of Qi Refining. As for why Foundation Establishment cultivators still keep this kind of pill? It must be because this kind of pill can cultivate future generations, and its price is stable, so it can be converted into cash at any time.

If we're talking about what kind of resource holds its value best in the cultivation world, then pills are definitely the top choice, especially those that increase cultivation level.

Over this period of time, Chen Qian had figured out the specific uses of these dozen or so bottles of pills. Most of them could be found in the records in the Scripture Pavilion, so it was not difficult to figure them out.

There are only a few bottles that are unclear, but that's okay. Just take one and throw it into the Chaos Pool, and the Gray Pearl World will be able to analyze it clearly.

Su Jin is close to breaking through, so this level of pill is perfect and will also help her break through.

The pretty maid blushed even more, and she was somewhat at a loss, unsure whether she should accept the money.

She had never taken Qi-Nourishing Pills, nor even a few of the lower-grade Qi-Gathering Pills, but that didn't mean she didn't understand the value of this bottle of pills.

It is at least five times more expensive than the Qi Gathering Pill.

They could only turn to their young mistress for help.

Of the three women, Chen Yunxi is the youngest, but she is more like an older sister and recovered from the shock the fastest.

Sensing the maid's flustered state, she smiled gently, took Su Jin's hand, and nodded, saying, "Just take what the young master gave you and do as he asks."

Although she was a maid who accompanied her in her dowry, she was also her best friend who had grown up with her since childhood. Her husband did not treat Su Jin as an outsider, which made her even happier.

"Yunxi is right. What I can take out is definitely more than I can handle, and it won't affect my own cultivation."

Su Jin, her face full of gratitude, put away the pill and bowed to express her thanks: "Thank you for the pill, young master! Su Jin will definitely cultivate diligently and break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining as soon as possible."

"That's good! Among all living beings in this world, those with spiritual roots are one in ten thousand. Don't waste such talent." Chen Qian nodded with a smile, then continued to ask, "Has there been any news from Green Leaf Mountain these past few days?"

Chen Yunxi shook her head and said, "There's no special news."

"That's good."

The Chen family has its own intelligence network, which belongs to the Foreign Affairs Hall. On the day they returned home, they heard Chen Hongming talk about the general situation in the cultivation world, and then saw them off as they hurriedly left home. Naturally, the three of them were very worried about how things would develop.

For Chen Qian in particular, the best outcome would be for things to remain stable and for nothing major to happen.

After having breakfast, Chen Qian went out.

Today, the Sixth Elder is giving a lecture at Fenglin Academy, teaching the techniques of fruit tree cultivation and spirit wine brewing. Chen Qian is quite interested and plans to go and listen to the lecture.

Spirit wine can be called liquid elixir. It contains a long-lasting and gentle spiritual energy, and can be consumed for a long time without causing toxicity. Therefore, it is highly sought after by countless cultivators.

However, the input and output of spirit wine are extremely uneconomical compared to pills of the same level.

Therefore, independent cultivators cannot afford it, clan cultivators can only drink it occasionally, and only elite disciples of major sects and high-ranking members of the sect can enjoy it regularly.

Chen Qian was so concerned because the spirit wine held special significance for him.

He didn't value the fact that the spirit wine aided cultivation or had no toxic properties; rather, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the spirit wine helped him comprehend cultivation techniques and improve his efficiency in learning skills.

The wedding two weeks ago was the first time he had ever tasted spirit wine.

This low-grade spirit wine called "Dewflower Brew" was brewed by the Sixth Elder.

On the wedding day, as the groom, he naturally has no time to study any magic, techniques, or skills.

A few days later, after drinking the remaining Dew Blossom Wine and studying formations in a slightly tipsy state, he felt his comprehension and learning efficiency had improved significantly. Because of this, he specifically went to the Hundred Storage Pavilion to buy Dew Blossom Wine and two other bottles of spirit wine of the same grade. After multiple verifications, he confirmed that it indeed had such an effect.

Different spirit wines have different effects, but they can all improve his learning efficiency.

The three bottles of wine are all one-jin (9ml) each, and each bottle is only enough for three drinks. Drinking less will have no effect. It cost 90 spirit stones to exchange for nine opportunities to improve learning efficiency, each lasting about an hour.

Keep in mind, this is the lowest grade of wine. I wonder if better wines could also improve learning efficiency.

But it wasn't available for purchase in the valley, so I'll have to come back later to verify it.

This discovery greatly increased his interest in learning about spirit brewing.

He had read some books on this subject. As the saying goes, spiritual practice depends on the individual, and it's best to have a master to guide you through the process.

So when he saw the Sixth Elder's course information on his identity badge, he signed up without hesitation.

The key to spirit brewing is the yeast starter, and the key to making the yeast starter is the ratio of various brewing spirit ingredients and researching the appropriate fermentation conditions.

There are many spiritual materials suitable for brewing, such as spiritual rice, spiritual herbs, spiritual medicines, and spiritual fruits. Do these spiritual materials conflict with each other? What are their relationships of mutual generation and restraint? How to cultivate materials that better bring out the characteristics of this type of yeast? These are all profound and complex subjects.

The creation of any new yeast starter requires a significant amount of time for research and development, as well as a substantial amount of resources and spirit stones.

The Sixth Elder spent most of his life on this path. Although he was not very talented in cultivation and devoted all his energy to research, he still managed to cultivate to the late stage of Qi Refining thanks to the nourishment of the spirit wine.

While attending his classes wouldn't teach you the recipe for finished spirit wines like Lu Hua, it would provide you with a relatively systematic foundation of knowledge, qualifying any Chen family members aspiring to this field for research.

The recipe for the spirit wine naturally belongs to the family, and after his death, it will only be passed down to his successor.

Besides Lu Hua Brew, there are two other spirit wines in the valley, both developed by generations of brewers in the Chen family and passed down through generations.

For many brewers, developing a new yeast starter is an extremely honorable and rare achievement; once successfully developed, it's like a golden goose that lays golden eggs.

Chen Qian had uniquely advantageous conditions to learn how to brew spirit wine.

Once he becomes familiar with the characteristics and cultivation methods of various spirit creatures, and with the support of this theoretical knowledge, he can find many suitable spirit creatures and try various proportions and fermentation conditions in the Gray Pearl World, which is countless times easier than for other winemakers.

He is destined to have many wives and concubines, and numerous children, all of whom will possess spiritual roots.

With such a powerful weapon as the Gray Pearl World, there's no reason not to let them all embark on the path of cultivation.

He is destined to establish an immortal clan of his own in the future, so the demand for cultivation resources will be an enormous number, and spiritual wine, which is relatively easy to brew, is a very important resource.

Fenglin Academy is located beside a stream in the valley. The scenery is elegant, quiet and beautiful, making it a good place to study.

The Sixth Elder was a plump-looking old man with a cultivation level of late Qi Refining, but he was very unpretentious and had no imposing presence, just like a common old man.

Not many people came to learn about spirit brewing; only a handful.

This is, after all, a relatively niche profession, and it is very difficult to learn. The knowledge is very diverse, and it is difficult to achieve results, so it does not suit the tastes of most young people who are just starting out in the path of immortality.

Among these few people, there was a proud fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy with a handsome and dashing appearance and a sharp aura, making him stand out from the crowd.

Although it was the first time Chen Qian had met the family, he quickly recognized him as Chen Yunzheng, the direct grandson of the family's Foundation Establishment Ancestor and a genius with a superior spiritual root.

Sensing his aura, it seemed he had just broken through and hadn't fully restrained himself yet, and it also seemed he had just returned from training. The killing intent on his body was quite strong and hadn't been completely concealed.
