Chapter 61 Spirit
Zhang Zhixuan smiled: “Don’t look at the formula first. The gourd in your waist should be a kind of spirit bar!
I wonder if I can let everyone taste it?
If the effect is good, and you are introduced by my regular customers, I will naturally give you a fair price. “
The middle-aged monk looked at the wine gourd on his waist and said with some reluctance: “It is not easy to brew this kind of spiritual wine. You should drink less!”
He carefully picked up a cup of tea from the counter, poured out a little bit of spirit wine, and handed it to Zhang Zhixuan.
As soon as the spiritual wine was poured out, Zhang Zhixuan smelled a mellow aroma, and a wisp of spiritual energy came out faintly. Zhang Zhixuan tasted it and said: “This kind of spiritual wine, the spiritual energy is not enough, but it also has some recovery power. effect.
The effect is not as good as the second-grade low-grade Ganlin Pill, but it does not have erysipelas. The side effect is that it is easier to get drunk.
This kind of spiritual wine has a very high alcohol content. Even a monk, if he is not born with a great capacity for alcohol, would be completely drunk after just half a cup. “
When the middle-aged monk saw Zhang Zhixuan, he immediately told the characteristics of the spirit wine, as if he had met a close friend. “I was born to love drinking. In order to brew this kind of spiritual wine, I not only spent a lot of time, but also wasted countless financial resources before I figured out the craftsmanship of brewing spiritual wine.
Because of this hobby, my father also thought that I was a prodigal son and expelled me from the family to become a wandering monk.
In recent years, my brewing technology has finally made rapid progress, and I have been able to brew several spiritual wines.
According to my research, a total of five kinds of spiritual wine have been brewed over the years, some to restore mana, some to heal injuries and cold poison, and some to increase mana.
This kind of spiritual wine can be called a kind of medicinal wine. Although the store owner is young, he is also knowledgeable. These five kinds of spiritual wine are equivalent to five kinds of spiritual elixirs. If I sell them to you, how many spiritual stones can you get? “
After listening to the middle-aged monk’s words, Zhang Zhixuan nodded and said: “Fellow Taoist is right. According to my guess, the most important raw material for brewing spiritual wine is various spiritual rice, and there are also special methods to cultivate distiller’s yeast. .
After the spiritual wine was brewed, different elixirs were added.
Judging from the effect of the spiritual wine brewed by fellow Taoist, although fellow Taoist has a low level of cultivation, he is also proficient in brewing technology and understands some principles of alchemy.
Taoist friends have summed up their experience over the years and invented the five spiritual wine formulas. The prices are equivalent to the market prices of five second-level low-grade elixir recipes.
The price of this kind of elixir often varies greatly. If it is a unique elixir that can be monopolized, even if the grade is very low, the price will be relatively high, at least three hundred spirit stones or more.
If it’s high-end goods, I’m afraid it won’t be worth the price.
If fellow Taoist is willing to sign a blood oath and only sell the spiritual wine formula to our family, I can give you a calculation of three hundred low-grade spiritual stones based on one spiritual wine formula.
If Taoist friend prepares to sell the goods to three stores, the price will be cheaper, and each spiritual wine formula can only give you fifty spiritual stones.
If you don’t want to live a life of a casual cultivator, you can also join our Zhang family and marry some young and beautiful girls.
Although our family is not as good as before, it is still one of the five major families in the neighborhood, and it is enough to protect fellow Taoists from practicing safely.
After joining our family, Taoist friends can contribute the spiritual wine formula in their hands in exchange for various resources within the family. At that time, the various miraculous skills, secrets, spiritual herbs and elixirs within the family can be exchanged for the good deeds of the family. “
The middle-aged monk can create several recipes for spiritual wine. There is no doubt that he is a very creative talent.
Among immortal cultivators, this kind of talent is the most precious.
That’s why Zhang Zhixuan would recruit him when he saw that this person had become a casual cultivator.
After hearing Zhang Zhixuan’s words, the middle-aged monk was a little moved, his face kept struggling, and finally he said with shame: “After all, I can’t bring shame to my ancestors.
My child should not be named Zhang, he will be named Yang from now on! “
Although the middle-aged monk did not say it explicitly, Zhang Zhixuan knew that he had rejected his proposal in his heart.
Zhang Zhixuan was also a little frustrated in his heart. He knew that it was basically impossible for a truly capable casual cultivator to join the family. The casual cultivators who joined the family were all low-level people with no hope of getting along.
In addition to waving flags and building momentum, the biggest use of these people is to improve the family’s bloodline and serve as stallions to give birth to more children with spiritual roots for the family.
After listening to the middle-aged monk’s words, Zhang Zhixuan said disappointedly: “Since Taoist friend Yang has thought clearly, I wonder if he is going to sell the formula to us exclusively, or is he going to inquire about the price elsewhere?”
The middle-aged monk thought for a moment and said, “I have heard from fellow Taoist Yun that your store has always been fair and it is a three-hundred-year-old store.
These five kinds of spiritual wine formulas are the hard work of my life, and I still want to spread them on a large scale. When monks drink these kinds of spiritual wines a hundred years later, they can still think of my name. “
Zhang Zhixuan saw that the middle-aged monk was seeking fame, so he stopped trying to persuade him and said: “In this case, I can only give you three hundred spirit stones for the formula of five kinds of spirit wine.
But Fellow Daoist Yang, be careful. These kinds of spirit wine recipes are relatively rare. Maybe someone in the market will have other ideas. Fellow Daoist Yang, it is better to be careful. “
Zhang Zhixuan took out three hundred low-grade spiritual stones and took the spiritual wine formula from the middle-aged Taoist priest. He looked at it carefully and found that it was similar to what he had guessed. The formula indeed required three kinds of spiritual rice to be fermented and steamed dozens of times. Only then can spiritual wine be brewed.
Then the spiritual herbs are put in strictly in chronological order and buried in the wine cellar for more than three to five years before a jar of spiritual wine can be made.
Among them, the koji used for fermentation is the most critical. For the five kinds of spirit wine, five special kinds of koji need to be cultivated. Each type of koji takes more than two to three years to cultivate.
According to the recipe, every three kilograms of spiritual rice can brew one kilogram of spiritual wine. Half of the spiritual wine will evaporate after three years of storage.
A jar of twenty kilograms of spiritual wine requires three kinds of spiritual rice that add up to one hundred and twenty kilograms, which is calculated as spiritual stones, about ten more.
In addition to the cost of the elixir invested, it is about eighteen spirit stones, and the cost of a jar of spirit wine is about thirty spirit stones.
The effect of a cup of mana-restoring spirit wine is equivalent to that of a low-grade Ganlin Pill.
One kilogram of spirit wine is equivalent to two pills, and a jar of spirit wine is about twenty kilograms. It can sell at least forty spirit stones. After removing the cost, if you invest some time, you can still make a little profit.
Moreover, some monks who like to eat and drink will like this kind of spiritual wine very much, and the price will be slightly higher.
Besides, brewing spiritual wine requires a longer time and a larger upfront investment, and does not require high levels of cultivation among monks.
It is very suitable for monks with lower cultivation levels in the Zhang family. Over time, it will open up a new source of wealth for the family.
