Chapter 1234: The Finest Brew
Chapter 1234: The Finest Brew
After obtaining an experience package for a spiritual brew recipe, Lu Xuan continued to harvest Lianzi, and from the light orb, two bottles of Qinglian Wine emerged.
"This should last me for a while."
Resisting the urge to harvest more Lianzi, he decided to use the remaining eight Leisha Spirit Lotuses solely for cultivating spirit seeds.
"The next batch of Spirit Lotuses will be more abundant, and I can open more light orbs. Then, I'll have a proper drinking session."
He entered the center of the Spirit Field, carefully cultivating the high-grade Thunder-attributed spiritual plants: Green Thunder Vine of Ethereal Wood, Thunder King Mushroom, Xuemo Lei Hu, and YinYang Leijimu.
"The Spirit Field is already taking shape."
"Once the Lei Yuan Jiancao matures, and I can condense more spirit seeds, I'll try placing them in this Thunder-attributed Spirit Field to see if they can be stimulated to evolve into 6th-grade Sword Grass."
Lu Xuan secretly marveled.
"Oh right, there's also the 5th-grade Lei Yin Jiancao. If I place it within the coverage of the Ancient Lamp Grass and nurture it with the Heavenly Light Bell, I wonder if it can mutate into a sword grass related to the Buddhist sect."
A slightly bizarre idea formed in his mind.
In his understanding, Lei Yin had some connection to the Buddhist sect, and this idea might just be feasible.
He silently took note and decided to try it out once he collected more 5th-grade Sword Grass spirit seeds.
Soon, three months passed.
The remaining eight Leisha Spirit Lotuses, being the first batch of cultivated seeds, yielded a total of twenty-six spirit seeds, a decent harvest.
Referring to the cultivation method of the Thunderstorm Lotus, Lu Xuan processed these spirit seeds and planted them in the Leihou Beast's territory.
On this day, as he was cultivating Sword Grass in the Spirit Field of his cave mansion, a familiar deep voice resonated from outside.
"Lu Shidi, Lu Shidi, your senior brother here is craving a drink. Come and share some of your spiritual brew!"
Lu Xuan's divine sense swept out, and he instantly noticed Li Xuanchen holding a piece of high-grade demonic beast meat, his eyes eagerly fixed on the cave mansion.
Lu Xuan's figure flashed, and he appeared at the entrance of the cave mansion.
"Senior Brother Li, welcome!"
Lu Xuan greeted Li Xuanchen with a smile.
Baiyuan had been spending time in his personal space these days, bonding with his old buddy, which made him a bit neglectful of his hosting duties.
Li Xuanchen had visited countless times, so he didn't bother with formalities and entered the cave mansion alongside Lu Xuan.
"Your timing is impeccable, Senior Brother."
The two sat down in a secluded courtyard, and Lu Xuan spoke with a mysterious smile.
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Li Xuanchen's interest was piqued.
"Long ago, I unexpectedly obtained an incomplete recipe for a 6th-grade spiritual brew called Qinglian Wine. After much research, I was fortunate to deduce its brewing method. Then, I gathered the necessary ingredients and, through numerous trials, finally succeeded in brewing it."
Lu Xuan produced a small white jade bottle, and as he opened the stopper, a strand of pale green spirit liquid slowly dripped out.
The spirit liquid swirled and rippled, seemingly blooming into a lotus flower within the cup.
"Oh? A 6th-grade spiritual brew?! No wonder I felt a peculiar sensation; the wine bug is biting!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xuanchen was delighted and eagerly took a sip of the pale green spirit brew.
"Refreshingly crisp and lingering on the palate. I thought I had reached the end of my journey, but unexpectedly, a new transformation occurred, making my entire body tingle with pleasure."
"It seems to have a nourishing effect on both the physical body and the soul, befitting a 6th-grade spiritual brew!"
This Sword Palace Elder was an old wine enthusiast, skilled in brewing spiritual brews himself. However, after meeting Lu Xuan, he was completely won over by the latter's brewing prowess, and in recent years, he had given up on brewing his own concoctions.
He had thought it fortunate to have the chance to taste Zhen Hun Jian Ye and Yuan Mo Wine, but Lu Xuan had brought yet another delightful surprise.
The more Li Xuanchen savored the wine, the more extraordinary Qinglian Wine seemed to him.
"Thank you, Lu Shidi. I'm truly grateful to have the opportunity to enjoy such a fine 6th-grade spiritual brew."
He stood up and expressed his gratitude.
"Haha, there's no need for such formality, Senior Brother. You're one of the few drinking companions I have in the sect. Naturally, I thought of you first when I brewed this new spirit wine."
Lu Xuan laughed heartily.
"Lu Shidi, when you increase the production of this Qinglian Wine, remember to keep a few bottles for me. The price won't disappoint you."
Li Xuanchen said seriously.
He knew that 6th-grade spiritual brews were extremely rare, and he was already content to have the chance to drink a cup at the earliest opportunity.
At the same time, he was also aware of the difficulty in brewing 6th-grade spiritual wine. Knowing Lu Xuan's character, which was always generous and open-handed, he didn't want to take advantage of him, so he spoke up.
"Sure, but the ingredients for Qinglian Wine are hard to gather, and the brewing process is quite challenging. Please be patient, Senior Brother."
Lu Xuan paused for a moment before speaking slowly.
Without absorbing enough experience from the Qinglian Wine formula, he didn't have any plans for large-scale brewing yet.
"That's fine. As long as I can taste this 6th-grade spiritual brew again, waiting a few more years won't be a problem."
Li Xuanchen quickly agreed.
He had reached the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit realm and didn't have any immediate concerns about his lifespan, so he had plenty of patience.
After they finished a cup of Qinglian Wine, Lu Xuan switched to Zhen Hun Jian Ye. Although there was a slight difference in taste, Li Xuanchen was already quite satisfied.
Suddenly, as they were enjoying the fine wine, a golden-yellow giant sword flashed by in the distance, disappearing into the endless sea of sword energy.
"From the characteristics of that flying sword, it should be Senior Brother Jin Zai Qian from our Swords Peak."
Li Xuanchen put down his white jade wine cup and said calmly.
Although Jin Zai Qian had a longer lifespan than him, Li Xuanchen had advanced to the Primordial Spirit realm earlier, so he addressed him as Senior Brother.
"Senior Brother Jin is back."
Lu Xuan looked up at the sky above Swords Peak.
"I heard that Senior Brother Jin went out to search for a token from the Kunyuan Xianggong?"
Li Xuanchen asked curiously. As a senior of the Sword Palace, he had access to more information than the average True Monarch of the Sword Sect.
"That's right. Senior Brother Jin's lifespan is coming to an end, and his previous search for longevity treasures was not very successful. He couldn't find any 7th-grade spiritual medicines or elixirs."
"Therefore, he shifted his focus to the upcoming Kunyuan Xianggong, hoping to find a great opportunity there."
Lu Xuan spoke slowly.
"It seems like he must have found something, or he wouldn't have returned so quickly."
Li Xuanchen guessed.
"Obtaining the token from the Xianggong is just the first step. As a Primordial Spirit of the Sword Sect, the difficulty isn't too great. It's what comes after that will depend on his luck."
Lu Xuan spoke in a low voice.
"Lu Shidi, don't you have any interest in exploring the rumored Xianggong?"
Li Xuanchen smiled enigmatically.
"Those who are qualified to enter the so-called Kunyuan Xianggong are all influential figures in the cultivation world. As a Spirit Plant Master, what business do I have there?"
Lu Xuan's acting skills were on full display as he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Haha, it's already good that you have such a thought, Shidi."
"Your value lies in your spirit plants, not in competing with others for treasures."
"If you can continue to improve and create new 6th-grade sword grasses, within the Sword Sect, whatever treasure you desire, even a Hua Shen Realm elder would do their best to fulfill your wishes."
A hint of envy flashed in Li Xuanchen's eyes.
As the elder of the Spirit Plant Hall, his skill in spirit plants was naturally not low. However, compared to this young Shidi in front of him, the gap was like a vast chasm.
