Chapter 70: Brewing and Handicapped

Gu Changhuan took the royal jelly and carefully checked the queen bee's condition. After confirming that the queen bee was fine, he threw a storage bag to the bearded man.

He put the beehive into the spirit beast bag, walked around the third floor and confirmed that there were no high-level spirit creatures. He quickly ran to several shops on the fourth floor and couldn't wait to return to the rental cave.

After entering the Xuantian Tower, Gu Changhuan was surprised to find that the first batch of spirit rice had matured. Puppet No. 3 was harvesting it, and the harvest was almost over.

The spirit medicines had also grown into young plants, and some had already bloomed.

There were dozens of seedlings that grew particularly fast, but they were not spirit medicines, but spirit plants of spirit trees.

Gu Changhuan picked the best spirit tree, changed its position, and planted it on the small hill on the edge of the Xuantian Tower, and then put the beehive on it.

The Qingyun Sword hummed and cut through the spherical magic weapon containing the spirit bee. The moment the black-tailed spirit bee flew out, Gu Changhuan left the Xuantian Tower in an instant. Tianlai Novel Network

The aggressive black-tailed spirit bee flew halfway, but the enemy disappeared. The surrounding environment was still very quiet and comfortable, and there were many spiritual medicines of flowers that were blooming. The black-tailed spirit bee was attracted at once and soon entered the working state of collecting flowers and making honey.

When Gu Changhuan entered the Xuantian Tower again, the black-tailed spirit bee would not notice him at all.

He took out several spiritual seeds that he had just bought on the fourth floor and received when setting up a stall today, and found an open space to plant them.

Now, the raw materials for brewing spiritual wine are ready.

Gu Changhuan began to study the spiritual wine formula he got.

Speaking of which, he still has two spiritual wine formulas in his hand, namely the first-level medium-quality March Wine and the first-level high-quality Qinghua Brew, which were exchanged in the family's Sutra Pavilion.

The Gu family has been established for more than 300 years, and it is not surprising that there is a formula for brewing spiritual wine. It's just that because spiritual wine is not easy to brew, it is not as convenient as selling spiritual rice directly or refining it into fasting pills, so the amount of spiritual wine produced by the Gu family every year is pitifully small.

Gu Changhuan had brewed spirit wine before, but the spirit wine he brewed before was based on the high quality of the raw materials. After cleaning, it was directly fermented and stored in the cellar. There was no technology to speak of.

The recipe sold to him by the veiled female cultivator was also an authentic brewing recipe. The name of the spirit wine was Zui Chunfeng.

Zui Chunfeng is a strong liquor. It is said that some people with poor alcohol tolerance will get drunk after smelling this wine, so it is called Zui Chunfeng.

In addition to the previous exchange from the Sutra Pavilion, Gu Changhuan mastered the recipes of three spirit wines at once.

The most important preparation before brewing spirit wine is the refining of wine yeast.

The materials for refining wine yeast are spirit rice and various spirit medicines. There is fresh spirit rice, some spirit medicines are just bought by Gu Changhuan, and some are already in Gu Changhuan's possession.

Gu Changhuan is now a second-level lower-grade alchemist, so refining first-level upper-grade wine yeast is naturally not difficult for him.

Gu Changhuan only failed once and successfully refined the wine yeast for March wine.

The third time, he successfully made two pieces of koji.

It is worth mentioning that because the koji of the spirit wine sold to him by the veiled female cultivator used too many raw materials, Gu Changhuan failed twice before he successfully made the koji of Zui Chunfeng.

Gu Changhuan made hundreds of pieces of each of the three kinds of koji. Refining koji, like refining pills, requires constant attention and must not be careless. It is a huge burden on the mana and consciousness of the cultivator.

However, this also causes the consciousness of alchemists, weapon refiners, etc. to often far exceed that of cultivators of the same level.

After the koji is refined, the production of spirit wine is more than half completed.

Just when Gu Changhuan was about to start brewing, another problem arose-there were not enough wine jars.

Gu Changhuan sighed, this is really troublesome.

He changed his appearance and ran to the fourth floor of the market, buying out the stocks of wine jars from several stores.

This time, everything is finally ready, only the east wind is missing.

Gu Changhuan was busy in Xuantian Tower for more than 20 days, and finally finished brewing the first batch of spirit wine and buried it under an open space.

One day in the outside world is ten days in the first floor of Xuantian Tower. Generally, spirit wine needs to be fermented and stored for at least half a year before it can be brewed.

For Gu Changhuan, it was only more than half a month.

Now, he finally has the time and conditions to study the refining of puppets.

The puppets described in the notes of Zhen Lingzi are far from being comparable to the puppets sold in Kaitian Palace, and of course the difficulty of refining is also not comparable.

Gu Changhuan slowly studied the notes written by Zhen Lingzi about refining puppets. The more he read, the more he felt that the way of puppets was elusive and unfathomable.

In Zhen Lingzi's narration, there was once a gifted puppeteer in the spirit world who could make puppets with human nature and spiritual intelligence, and even the puppets could practice by themselves, almost the same as ordinary people.

Unfortunately, that genius was not a human. According to the records of Zhen Lingzi, that alien race used the way of puppets to expand his tribe's territory by one third, and finally succeeded in ascending to heaven with the help of puppets. Even after ascending to heaven, several puppets he refined were still practicing and wandering in the spirit world.

But what is strange is that the genius did not leave any inheritance.

Zhen Lingzi's puppet inheritance is certainly not as shocking as that of the genius, but the puppets refined according to his inheritance are also quite spiritual.

Refining puppets is different from refining tools. Except for some core components, it does not require fire refining.

Gu Changhuan first chose the simplest ape-shaped puppet.

The first step in refining puppets is carving. Ironwood is used as the raw material to carve the main torso and limbs of the puppet.

Gu Changhuan thought that the most difficult step should be the core step of refining puppets, but he didn't expect that the first step of carving would stump him.

The reason is that Gu Changhuan has lived for two lifetimes and his hand-making ability has not improved at all...

He looked at the puppet's arms that were carved with pits and bumps, and he couldn't figure it out. He did a good job when shaping the spirit sword!

The spirit sword was straight!

Why did it happen when it came to carving puppets...

Gu Changhuan thought for a long time, but still didn't want to admit the fact that he was clumsy.

But after carving five pieces of iron wood in a row, Gu Changhuan had to admit the fact.

Gu Changhuan and the abstract ape-shaped wood carving looked at each other for a long time, and still felt that he shouldn't waste materials.

There is no way to spend spirit stones like this.

He should go to set up a stall!

On this day, Gu Changhuan appeared on the third floor again. It was still the same stall, the same small wooden board.

But Gu Changhuan added a line of words under the wooden board: Spend more than fifty spirit stones in this store and get a fine wood carving!
