Chapter 477: It takes one day to brew wine (2400 words, please subscribe)

Breaking through the foundation and restoring the glory of the ancestors is the long-cherished wish of this old man with rosacea. At the same time, only by building the foundation can one truly master the second-level winemaking inheritance of the family.

It’s just a pity that the wealth left by his ancestors and the wealth accumulated by him as a winemaker over the years were all consumed more than ten years ago when he assisted his grandson to break through the foundation.

Now, he only has a thousand spirit stones on him.

A thousand spirit stones can hardly buy even the worst second-class foundation-building spiritual objects that can only increase the probability of a cultivator breaking through the foundation by half.

It is for this reason that the old man with rosacea has considered a lot and decided to sell the second-level winemaking inheritance to the new Jindan family "Ling's" who had dealt with him in his early years and had a very good reputation in the outside world. Three days ago, they took out a full eleven foundation-building spiritual objects as the finale of the Lingxiao Auction, and wanted to exchange them for a foundation-building pill.

This will also allow his grandson to rely on the foundation-building pill to impact the foundation-building realm again.

With a lot of thoughts in his mind, the old man with rosacea looked at Ling Pengshan. Seeing that there was no ripple in Ling Pengshan's shrewd eyes, he also understood that Ling Pengshan would not raise the price of the second-level winemaking inheritance.

He sighed lightly and said to Ling Pengshan with a little pleading.

"Senior Ling, I am willing to join the nobles as a guest official, but I don't know if the nobles can lend me another 5,000 spirit stones to help me buy a foundation-building pill?"

"If the nobles are willing, I promise to pay back the spirit stones as soon as possible in the future."

Ling Pengshan heard this, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes. "Daoyou, I see that you have a serious loss of blood and qi. I think you have at least 90 if not 100, and at most you have ten or twenty years of life left. Why are you so eager for the foundation-building pill at your age?"

The old man with rosacea sighed again and gave a simple answer. "To be honest, Senior, I am not seeking the foundation-building pill for myself, but for my grandson. My grandson has good aptitude and has a chance to break through the foundation-building stage."

After hearing this, Ling Pengshan had a better impression of the old man with red nose who was willing to devote all his efforts to cultivating his grandson.

But business is business, and goodwill is goodwill. In the business world, only interests are recognized.

Ling Pengshan also said immediately.

"Fellow Daoist, I admire what you have done, but my Ling family is willing to let you join me as a guest official at the price of 3,000 spirit stones, which is the biggest concession of our clan."

"To be honest, I am afraid that you will not be able to pay back the 5,000 spirit stones I have lent you. At your current age, you can only brew spirit wine for about ten years at most. After ten years, you will definitely encounter the dilemma of a decline in cultivation. By then, even if you want to brew spirit wine, you may not be able to do it."

"In just ten years, can you really earn 5,000 spirit stones through the inheritance of brewing?"

The old man with rosacea frowned when he heard this and said helplessly in a deep voice.

"Senior, I can hardly repay this amount of spiritual stones with my own strength."

"But the descendants of my Zhang family have basically mastered the wine-making art passed down from our ancestors."

"It's just that they have mastered the depth of wine-making because of their talents."

"And my grandson's talent in wine-making is not inferior to mine. If my grandson can break through to the foundation-building stage, he will definitely be able to raise the grade of wine-making to the second level."

"By then, my grandson will definitely be able to repay the spiritual stones owed by my Zhang family to the nobles."

Ling Pengshan's eyebrows moved, and a hint of curiosity appeared on his face.

"Is what you said true?"

The old man with the rosacea saw Ling Pengshan's expression and immediately knew that there was a way to borrow spiritual stones, so he immediately took advantage of the victory and pursued him.

"Of course, my grandson is in the Lingxiao Market opened by the nobles. I can call him and show you my wine-making skills."

Ling Pengshan saw that the old man looked very confident, and he was delighted and said. "Okay, call him quickly. If this is true, it's easy to borrow the spiritual stone."

The old man with rosacea specially played a valuable communication talisman to summon his grandson who had been hiding in the dark as soon as possible.

After a while, a six-foot-tall, very thin, frail scholar, but with very sharp eyes, a middle-aged cultivator with a faint blood on his body, as if he had killed many monsters and exuded a perfect aura of Qi training, entered the Jiyi Hall opened by the Ling family and found Ling Pengshan and the old man with the surname Zhang.

"Senior, this is my grandson named Zhang Xun."

"My name is Zhang Qiuyang." The old man with rosacea introduced Ling Pengyun and the middle-aged man who looked like a scholar.

"Xun'er, this is Senior Ling Pengshan, the acting patriarch of the Ling family."

"Senior Ling." The middle-aged man named Zhang Xun, who looked like a scholar, immediately bowed and greeted Ling Pengshan after hearing the introduction.

"Little friend Zhang, there is no need to be polite. I heard from your grandfather that you also master the art of brewing wine. I wonder if you can show it?"

Ling Pengshan waved his hand and asked.

Zhang Qiuyang's grandson Zhang Xun had already known about the borrowing of spirit stones between his grandfather Zhang Qiuyang and Ling Pengshan through the content of the communication talisman sent by Zhang Qiuyang.

He naturally didn't care about this, so he nodded and agreed to it.

After that, he took out several spiritual materials for brewing spirit wine, and brewed a jar of first-grade high-quality spirit wine in front of Ling Pengshan.

However, this jar of spirit wine is only a semi-finished product. It still needs ten years of fermentation before it can truly become a jar of real spirit wine.

Ling Pengshan, who had some vision, also learned about Zhang Xun's winemaking skills through this incident.

"This boy is really talented."

Ling Pengshan looked at Zhang Xun, who was only 59 years old and had reached the state of perfect Qi training, with bright eyes and sighed in his heart.

After coming to his senses, Ling Pengshan thought about it carefully and said with a smile.

"I didn't expect that young friend Zhang Xun's winemaking skills are so high."

"With young friend Zhang Xun's winemaking as a guarantee, my Ling family is willing to lend 5,000 spiritual stones to the two Taoist friends."

"However, my clan needs young friend Zhang Xun to join my clan as a guest official, and swear an oath with his cultivation to be a guest official of my Ling family for life and serve my clan wholeheartedly."

"Of course, my clan will not let young friend Zhang Xun suffer a loss. You two only have Qi training cultivation. It may be dangerous to buy foundation-building pills with 30,000 spiritual stones."

"My Ling family can directly prepare a foundation-building pill for you two, and provide a pulse-protecting pill worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones, a portion of Xiaobailing water, and a place with rich spiritual energy to help young friend Zhang Xun break through the foundation-building."

"I wonder if young friend Zhang Xun agrees to this?"

Zhang Xun, who is only 59 years old, and Zhang Qiuyang, who has a red nose, both showed ecstasy on their faces when they heard this.

However, neither of them immediately agreed to the conditions proposed by Ling Pengshan.

Although the conditions offered by Ling Pengshan are good, once Zhang Xun enters the foundation-building stage and becomes a second-level winemaker, it is not difficult to earn the extra Xiaobailing Water and Pulse Protection Pills provided by Ling's this time.

Moreover, once he becomes a guest official of Ling's, he will lose his freedom.

Zhang Qiuyang is old, so it is nothing for him to become a guest official of Ling's.

But Zhang Xun is only fifty-nine years old. Even if he fails to break through the foundation-building stage in the future, he still has fifty or sixty years of life. If he is imprisoned in Ling's family, he will also be controlled by Ling's family.

In the future, his descendants may also be controlled by Ling's family and become Ling's guest officials.

Such things have to make Zhang Xun and Zhang Qiuyang think seriously.

However, no matter how much they think, they have to face reality.

For now, the extra Xiaobailing Water and Pulse Protection Pills that Ling's family is willing to give are extremely important to them.

Xiaobailing Water and Pulse Protection Pills can increase the probability of a cultivator breaking through the foundation-building stage by 10%.

In addition, Zhang Xun had a 10% chance of breaking through the foundation building stage, and there was a foundation building pill that could increase the chance of breaking through the foundation building stage by 30%, so he had a full 50% chance of breaking through the foundation building stage.

As long as he was lucky, he could basically enter the foundation building stage.

Because of this, the two finally agreed to the conditions proposed by Ling Pengshan.

Ling Pengshan was very happy about this, and immediately took the two of them out of Lingxiaofang City and headed towards the muddy swamp.
