NOVEL NEXT Chapter 31 The world’s best wine comes out, and spiritual etching
"Ding! You have been promoted to the position of centurion, achieved the elite achievement [Rising Star], and received a reward: 500 taels of silver."
There is no rush to claim the rewards. After all, the storage effect of the system space is one-way. Once taken out, it cannot be put back again.
500 taels is not a small amount.
If so much silver suddenly appeared in public, it would easily cause unnecessary trouble.
"Haha, Brother Liu is indeed a genius. Let's go have a drink!"
Chen Mo strode over, looking even more excited than Liu Ye.
Just now he saw Fatty Li being carried out of the examination room with a furious look on his face, which made him happy to the ears.
Coupled with Liu Ye's successful promotion to centurion, it can be said to be double happiness!
……
In the Liu family's backyard, Liu Ye and Chen Mo sat opposite each other, with a pot of freshly brewed liquor between them.
"Come on, Brother Chen, try my home-brewed liquor. It also has a name, Immortal Drunkenness."
Liu Ye poured a full cup and pushed it to Chen Mo.
"Xian Ren Zui, what a good name."
Smelling the intoxicating aroma of wine, Chen Mo couldn't wait to pick up the wine glass and drink it down in one gulp.
The next second, his eyes widened.
"Hiss~ Brother, your wine... is too exciting.
In comparison, the ones I drank before were just like water! "
"Brother Chen, if you like it, make a pot and take it with you before you leave."
Liu Ye smiled and refilled the wine glass in front of Chen Mo.
"You can't do it, you can't do it. This kind of wine is the best in the world. It's a blessing to have a sip. If you bring another pot, you can't afford it even if you sell me." Chen Mo waved his hands repeatedly.
"Brother Chen, what you said is obvious. The wine you brew at home is not worth a few bucks, so just drink it without worry."
He makes wine just to make good friends, and it doesn't matter whether he has money or not.
Perhaps after he has established a force, he will use his wine-making skills to make money.
As for now, just drink enough.
……
"Old man, I came to see you with wine."
After bidding farewell to Chen Mo, Liu Ye carried a jar of wine to the outside of the white-haired old man's courtyard.
crunch.
The courtyard door was opened, but the person who opened the door surprised Liu Ye.
"Lord Commander?"
Liu Ye really didn't expect to see Zhang Liao here.
Zhang Liao also seemed a little surprised, especially when he saw the black dragon halberd behind Liu Ye, a trace of astonishment flashed across his face.
"Where is the wine?"
At this moment, the white-haired old man rushed out of the courtyard in a hurry.
"Quick, quick, come in, come in."
As the white-haired old man spoke, he pulled Liu Ye closer to the yard and took the wine jar from Liu Ye's hand.
"You guys sit down first, and I'll get a cup."
The white-haired old man said hello and ran into the house with the wine jar, as if he was afraid of being robbed.
Since the last time he drank the liquor distilled by Liu Ye, he hasn't been able to drink anything these days.
I can only sit at the door and look around every day, like an empty nester.
But I waited and waited, but I still didn't see Liu Ye's figure.
Fortunately, all the waiting has been in vain, and today we can finally have a feast!
After the white-haired old man left, Liu Ye clasped his fists and saluted Zhang Liao: "I have seen the commander-in-chief."
"No need to be formal. Regardless of military position here today, you and I can be equals."
Zhang Liao waved his hand and then motioned Liu Ye to sit down.
"Okay, then...I'll shamelessly call you Brother Zhang."
Liu Ye is a person who climbs up whenever he sees a stick. In addition, he is a modern person and does not have the orderly concept of the ancients, so he is no longer polite to Zhang Liao.
"So good."
Although Zhang Liao is a child of an aristocratic family, he does not have the slightest arrogance of a child of an aristocratic family.
Apart from maintaining the majesty of his commander in the military camp, he is still quite approachable in normal times.
"Brother Zhang, have you known your seniors for a long time?"
Liu Ye was the first to speak. After all, it would be awkward to just sit like this.
"Well, my Huanglong hook sickle was made by Mr. Meng."
Hearing this, Liu Ye suddenly realized.
Also, there is such a casting master in Yanmen Pass. It is unrealistic to say that Zhang Liao does not know about it.
Speaking of which, he only now knew that the old man's surname was Meng, mainly because he forgot to ask last time.
"That's such a coincidence. My Black Dragon Halberd was also given by Mr. Meng."
Liu Ye put down the black dragon halberd behind his back.
In addition to delivering wine this time, he also wanted to ask why the handle of the black dragon halberd changed color.
"Sent?"
Zhang Liao's expression froze.
He originally asked Mr. Meng to make the Huanglong Hook Sickle, but it cost him a thousand taels of silver, and he had prepared the key materials himself.
Good guys, let’s treat them differently, right?
"What's the gift? I want a jar of peerless wine as a reward."
At this time, Mr. Meng walked out of the house with a pot of wine. Hearing this, he quickly explained, and after speaking, he did not forget to glare at Liu Ye.
"Yes, yes, I made a mistake." Liu Ye smiled.
Mainly, he didn't expect that Zhang Liao actually paid for the weapons.
Logically speaking, as Zhang Liao is the commander of Yanmen Pass and a martial arts genius, shouldn't he stage a drama of gifting treasures from an expert?
Sure enough, TV series are all lies.
"Oh? Unparalleled wine?"
Zhang Liao also turned his attention to the wine pot at this time, with a trace of suspicion in his eyes.
He was very curious as to what kind of fine wine was worthy of being called a peerless wine.
However, the faint aroma of wine was indeed different from the fine wines he had drunk before. It gave people the impression that it was... very high.
"Don't believe it? Try it."
Mr. Meng carefully gave Zhang Liao a small cup. It was so small, it was almost as high as a fingernail.
"Mr. Meng, I know you are addicted to alcohol, but this is not enough to fill the gap between your teeth."
Zhang Liao said that he was about to take the jug and pour it himself. Mr. Meng dodged and smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, you taste it first."
"Is there any other mystery?"
Zhang Liao looked puzzled, then picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
It tastes slightly bitter in the mouth, and then a strong aroma bursts out and hits the nose.
Zhang Liao felt that his whole body was enlightened.
After a long while, he let out a long breath.
"It is indeed worthy of the name of a peerless wine. Does this wine have a name?"
Zhang Liao looked at Liu Ye with a look of unsatisfied desire.
"This wine is called Immortal Drunk."
"Well, it's very appropriate. This wine is so strong that I have never seen it in my life. Maybe even the immortals in the sky will get drunk after drinking it."
Zhang Liao sighed with emotion.
Afterwards, the three of them drank wine together.
Mainly Meng Lao and Zhang Liao were drinking, and Liu Ye would only accompany them for two drinks occasionally.
After drinking for three rounds, Liu Ye also took the opportunity to ask Mr. Meng about the changes in the Black Dragon Halberd.
"Hiccup, what are you talking about? That's the spiritual etching I left." Meng Lao burped and glanced at the Black Dragon Halberd.
"I wonder what this spiritual etching is..."
Liu Ye quickly asked.
"Have you ever heard of weapon spirits? This thing is used to cultivate weapon spirits. Well, Zhang Xiaozi also has one on his yellow dragon hook sickle. Just ask him."
Mr. Meng obviously just wanted to drink, so he pushed Zhang Liao out.
Zhang Liao did not hesitate, and explained in detail the relationship between Qiling etching and the weapon spirit, as well as the method of cultivating the weapon spirit.
After listening to Zhang Liao's words, Liu Ye was greatly shocked, and at the same time he also understood the origin of those peerless magic weapons.
To put it simply, not all weapons are eligible to give birth to weapon spirits.
First, you have to find a casting master who can imprint the spiritual etching.
Secondly, the material of the weapon must be strong enough to withstand the catastrophe when the weapon spirit is born.
As for how to cultivate the weapon spirit, there are two ways.
The first is killing.
Through constant killing, the true spirits that have not yet escaped are absorbed, thus giving birth to weapon spirits.
The second type is soul fusion.
This is more difficult, that is, directly find a strange beast that has opened its spiritual intelligence, kill it, and then extract the beast's soul and merge it into the spiritual etching.
After being cultivated for a period of time, it can be automatically transformed into a weapon spirit.
Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. The former is slow to accumulate and the weapon spirits born are relatively weak.
However, the upper limit of growth is high. As long as you keep killing, the weapon spirit can continue to grow.
The latter can be accumulated quickly, and the weapon spirit is in its peak state from the beginning, so it can form combat effectiveness as quickly as possible.
The shortcomings are also obvious. First, the traces of the strange beasts are difficult to find, and their combat power is so powerful that they cannot be provoked by ordinary people.
Second, the strength of the weapon spirit depends entirely on the strength of the beast soul and does not have the ability to grow.
However, no matter which method is used, the user needs to have a strong enough martial arts will.
If the weapon spirit cannot be suppressed, it will inevitably suffer backlash.
This is also why only the strong can master the magic weapons, because the weak are the only ones who can master them.
"Thank you, Brother Zhang, for clearing up the confusion."
Liu Ye stood up and bowed solemnly.
The so-called teacher preaches, imparts knowledge and resolves doubts.
In a sense, Zhang Liao was his enlightenment mentor in martial arts, so he naturally deserved this gift.
"By the way, Brother Zhang, I have one more thing I want to ask you."
If you finally get this opportunity, you have to collect it all at once.
