Chapter 68 Risks of tasting wine
Will Ding Xing provide spiritual wine to the ghost market for a long time? He has not expressed his attitude towards the ghost bamboo girl.
Although Ding Xing believes that the Ghost Market is a perfect channel for selling wine, he is not a mortal businessman and cannot engage in wine trading all year round.
When he tried out the "Eight Fruit Flower Porridge Wine", he would help the Taoist to turn it into a ghost body. He would definitely leave Juanchen Mountain.
As for whether to maintain this path in the future after leaving, we will consider it separately in the future.
Ding Xing just wants to deal with the things in front of him first.
When he was delivering the treasure with Guizhun Girl, he asked casually: "How many colleagues live in the Ghost Mansion in the south?"
The Ghost Bamboo Girl knew very much: "There are almost a thousand people living together. There are also a group of wandering ghosts outside the mountain, about four or five hundred. Their ghost palace is next to the demon nest. They encounter several beast disasters every year. They cannot handle it. They often escape outside the mountain and dare to move back after several years."
Beast disaster is the hunting behavior of monsters living in groups.
The demon cultivator who has no transformation in Juanchen Mountain, except for a very small number of demon clans with great wisdom, the other races are generally semi-ignorant, and fighting each other is very fierce.
However, ghost cultivators cannot reproduce and suffer a group of monsters every year, so naturally they cannot increase the number.
Ding Xing asked about the situation of the ghost cultivator, which was actually related to a private matter. He asked again: "Are there any expert in refining weapons among these fellow practitioners?"
Guizhun nodded: "There are several people, do you want to find them to cast magic weapons?"
Ding Xing then took out two broken magic weapons, one of which was Fan Yaoshi's cicada wing knife, which was once broken by a paper soldier under the moon. Ding Xing kept it on his body.
The other one is Ding Xing's short axe. He has been running around for the past six months and has encountered several battles on the way. The short axe is a medium-grade magic weapon and is not powerful enough. Once he was beaten to the enemy.
This axe is a disaster and difficult situation. Ding Xing was about to improve its grade, so he asked Guizhun Girl for help: "I want to renovate these two residual weapons back into one, but I don't have a deep understanding of the method of refining weapons. Please ask Guizhun Girl to find a fellow ghost cultivator to cast it. After the matter is completed, I will thank you with the date pit liquid!"
"Cast as a knife, or an axe?"
"ax!"
Ding Xing told the extra errand to part with Gui Zhunniao.
After returning to the cave of Yuehuan Sword Ban, Ding Xing began to try the "Eight Fruit Flower Porridge".
This ancient wine recipe records nine kinds of wine, eight of which are spiritual fruits, and the species are exactly the same as the eight fruits that refine golden dew liquid. Ding Xing collected these fruits through the market within the Qi Sect of Weiguo.
The last type of wine is Linghua. Because the wine recipe of "Eight Fruit Flower Porridge" lacks the name of Linghua. Ding Xing has no other way, so he can only use the method of casting a large net. He exchanged more than 100 kinds of Linghua and Linghua from the ghost market through Guizhun Girl, and he was preparing to continue one by one to try.
He has leafworms to use, and the storage period of any spiritual wine can be shortened to half a month, but the leafworm only swallows one wine vessel at a time. At this progress, he wants to make more than 100 kinds of flower and fruit into a spiritual wine, and the storage period will take several years.
In fact, if the "Eight Fruit Flower Porridge" can be finally tested, let alone years, even decades, Ding Xing would think it is very worth it.
But trying alcohol is not just a waste of time.
There are also huge unknown risks.
Unlike the creation of "Requiem" and "Cortoise Tears", "Eight Fruit Flower Porridge" requires Ding Xing to taste it in person to verify the efficacy of the medicine.
Every time he uses a kind of flower and fruit to refine an unknown new wine, he must swallow it and verify the effect.
Although the eight kinds of spiritual fruits in Jinlu Liquid are all great tonics, adding a strange flower material into it may mutate into a very harmful thing.
No one can guess what extent of the damage to the body.
Therefore, before the wine test, Ding Xing must be fully prepared for self-rescue.
First, Ding Xing instructed the little book demon to summon the bookworm swarm. Every time a new wine is released, let the bookworm swarm try it. Only after confirming that the bookworm swarm is not worried about his life will Ding Xing go into battle by himself.
Secondly, during drinking, Ding Xing may experience a series of unknown changes such as poisoning, coma, and injury. So it is naturally essential to reserve a batch of spiritual wine for detoxification, calming the mind and nourishing the body.
It seems that trying a wine is like a bad thing to suffer, and it is true.
However, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a shortage of monks who are willing to suffer and mold. They are full of fearless beliefs and risk their lives to try new pills and new wines over and over again, which has led to various ancient wines with far-reaching influences.
If there were no such group of brave pioneers, the world of immortal cultivation might have long disappeared and would not have the prosperity of today.
Of course, these sages took the risk of elixirs and tried wine, not all for selflessness, but mainly for tempting rewards. After all, as long as you can create a storm treasure like Xuanzang Wan, the benefits will be endless.
To put it in a smaller way, it can determine the length of a monk's path.
To put it bluntly, it can affect the rise and fall of a sect.
This is not an exaggeration at all.
This time, Ding Xing tried the "Eight Fruit Flower Porridge Wine". His starting point was for his own path. If this new wine was really born in his hands, he had no way to calculate whether it would bring a big storm to the Wei Kingdom's immortal cultivation world in the future.
Anyway, let's try it first.
Only by trying out the "Baguohua Porridge Wine" can he be sure to impact the mysterious fetal period.
In this way, when Ding Xing prepared everything, he locked himself in the cave and began his great wine creation.
Half a month in a flash.
Ding Xing used the most common "red dough flower" in Yuezhi Country, mixed with the eight fruits of Jinlu, to create the first new wine.
He looked at the color of the wine, which was filled with dark redness, and there were particles floating in the wine, which was in line with the external characteristics of "flower porridge". He first captured a few bookworms for a try-wine. After feeding them, he found blood spots on the body of the insect.
This is a symptom of poisoning.
Ding Xing gave up and did not try the wine himself.
He didn't need to try again, because spiritual wine to improve his cultivation will not harm all flesh and blood.
The poisoning of bookworms shows that the "red doughnut flower" is not the only flower material of "Eight Fruit Flower Porridge Wine".
One month later.
Ding Xing mixed the "laurel" with the golden dew eight fruits to create the second new wine.
Ding Xing is familiar with this kind of laurel flower. It is picked from papermaking trees. If you say what is the most famous spiritual flower in Yuezhi Country, it is undoubtedly the laurel.
Ding Xing once collected many seeds from papermaking trees, but he had no place to cultivate them, so he bought them all from the ghost market.
The wine made from laurel is dark yellow and also forms porridge-like particles, which are non-toxic. Ding Xing poured a cup for himself, tilted his head and sipped for a while. He suddenly opened his eyes and shook his head and said, "When mixing laurel, the effect of the golden liquor liquid will be completely lost. This wine is completely useless."
He refined a jar of waste wine, and the large amount of "laurel" he bought was useless.
But this was just the beginning, and Ding Xing was not discouraged.
After three months like this, Ding Xing tried six new wines in total, three of which were scrapped, two were toxic, and one could be drunk, but it weakened the efficacy of Jinlu Liquid.
None of them succeeded anyway.
At this time, Ding Xing temporarily stopped the alcohol test.
The leafworms come out of the cellar every half month. During the cellar, Ding Xing has been refining the soul-determining pill, casting a warm and nourishing spring for the soul of the Taoist Scissor. After the Mingquan is completed and sending the Taoist Scissor into the spring, Ding Xing decided to change the method of trying the wine.
He didn't want to brew a new wine, so he left the spirit pool to test it once, which would make him unable to concentrate.
Considering that the leafworm only swallows one wine vessel at a time, but after it spits out the spirit wine, it will automatically absorb other wine vessels, so Ding Ying puts more than 100 kinds of flowers and fruits needed for the cellar in advance in advance, and seals them in a secret room with the leafworms.
When Ding Xing did this, he was preparing to brew more than 100 new wines and then try them one by one. In this way, he could concentrate on retreating and practicing.
