Chapter 44: Spiritual Wine (please support me by reading monthly tickets)
In the afternoon, since tomorrow is the ten-day holiday, Zhou Ling ended the technique class at the Taoist Academy early and came to the Lujia Workshop.
Master Lu was sitting on a stone chair under the locust tree, fanning himself with a cattail leaf fan, his face flushed.
Seeing Zhou Ling's arrival, Master Lu hurriedly stood up and said, "Brother Ling, the order I received from Duobao Pavilion this time is for a first-class mid-grade storage bag."
"Refined from the cloud crystal stone with space attributes and the hide of the mid-level first-order monster Black Rock Sheep."
"It took me almost four days to refine these two storage bag appliances alone."
"Deliver in seven days!"
Lu As the master spoke, he handed the two storage bags to Zhou Ling.
This storage bag looks similar to a hot water bottle, only slightly larger, and it looks like it is made of matte leather.
Zhou Ling took the storage bag and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
It’s the dog days of summer now.
In the workshop, the stove is burning slowly.
It’s really hot in the yard.
Zhou Ling sat on the stone chair opposite Master Lu, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a few gulps.
They are also familiar with Master Lu, and he doesn't care about them.
Then he said, "Storage bag, it will take another seven days!"
Generally, drawing a storage bag requires the imprinting of spatial attributes.
Fortunately, storage bags are common magic weapons in weapon refining.
In the seal essence exchanged with the Taoist Academy this time, there is a Xuyuan seal used for refining storage bags.
It’s just fourteen inscriptions.
It’s still a bit difficult to draw it yourself now.
But, I have agreed that no matter whether it is difficult or not, I have to bite the bullet and continue.
I thought for a while and then asked, "Master Lu, do you have a first-class medium-grade storage bag?"
"That's mine!"
"Can you? Lend me a chance to watch?”
Master Lu reached out, took off the storage bag on his belt, and handed it to Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling took the storage bag and looked at it carefully.
The appearance of the storage bag is basically the same as the two appliances just mentioned.
“This is a storage bag with two square meters of space! The market price is seventy or eighty spiritual stones!”
“The cost of the materials alone is almost thirty spiritual stones. Yes, if you can successfully draw the Xuyuan Seal, I will pay you fifteen spirit stones.”
"But there are only two pieces of equipment, and they are both broken. This spiritual stone is going to be lost."
Master Lu said seriously.
Zhou Ling did not reply to him and carefully checked the storage bag in his hand.

"Fourteen inscriptions, two nodes, diffuse structure."
"You can draw the structure first, and then draw it as a first-order imprint of two seven-inscriptions, but the connection between the nodes is difficult! ”
Following the analysis, Zhou Ling roughly had a preliminary drawing plan in his mind.
Seeing Zhou Ling lost in thought, Master Lu did not disturb him and picked up the tea bowl to drink tea.
Zhou Ling carefully looked at the Xuyuan imprint on the storage bag, and tried his best to analyze the techniques and key points of the above drawing through [Primary Observation] and [Primary Analysis] for reference. .
Generally speaking, even a first-grade inscription master may not gain much from looking at the inscriptions like this.
It is even possible that the structure of the imprint cannot be clearly seen.
After all, different inscription artists have different painting techniques, and even the same inscription may show different forms.
But with the blessing of Zhou Ling's two talents, he was able to clearly observe the structure of the inscription, the distribution of the inscriptions, the urgency of writing, the slowness of writing, and other details.
And [Primary Analysis] also plays the role of analysis and summary, summarizing the disadvantages for him.
It can be said that every imprint drawn is a good accumulation of experience for him. Normally, the higher the level of the imprint, the more difficult it is to practice and comprehend.
Without perfect inheritance and guidance from famous teachers, no matter how talented you are, it will be difficult to achieve anything.
But Zhou Ling is different. With the blessing of [the more frustrated he becomes, he becomes more courageous], the more difficult things are, whether they are exercises, imprints, or other sword techniques.
As long as you persist, you will gain something!
After looking at it for nearly a stick of incense, Zhou Ling handed the storage bag back to Master Lu.
"Can it be completed in seven days?" Master Lu put away the storage bag and asked cautiously.
Zhou Ling pursed her lips, "I'll try my best!"
Master Lu fanned the cattail leaf fan and warned again, "Be careful! A tool with fifteen low-grade spiritual stones !”
Zhou Ling nodded, handed over to Master Lu, and left the workshop.
When I walked out of the workshop, I thought about it and bought a jar of fine black rice wine from the wine stall on the opposite street.
I plan to go back and make wine for my mother as a reference.
·······.
As soon as I entered the house, a strong scent of rice mixed with the unique aroma of elixir came to my nose.
The aroma of pure wine fills the small hall.
"Ling'er, you're back, and it's time to try the spiritual wine brewed by your mother!"
There are three pottery bowls placed on the wooden table.
The spirit wine in the bowl has a crystal clear amber color.
Li Ruye smiled and said, "Ling'er, come and try it!"
Zhou Ling did not expect that his mother would be so efficient and make wine in one day.
Perhaps practice makes perfect, and she was not unfamiliar with the techniques from back then.
Zhou Ling put down the wine jar in his hand, picked up a pottery bowl, and took a sip. It was sweet in the mouth and fragrant on the lips and teeth.
The aroma of spiritual rice is combined with the faint medicinal aroma of spiritual grass, brewing the unique fragrance of black rice wine.
"Mom, this is much better than the one I bought!"
Zhou Shan also smiled and said, "I told you, with your skills and this brewing furnace, you can't do anything else. How long will it take to brew better spiritual wine?”
With a smile on his face, Li Ru looked at the spiritual wine in the bowl and said, "But why do I feel that the purity of the wine is still a little lacking, and the spiritual energy contained in it seems to be a little less."
"I don't know if it's a matter of heat. ? Or am I lacking spiritual power?”
Zhou Ling felt that it was more than twice as good as the black rice wine he bought.
But seeing his mother's serious thinking expression, he didn't bother her.
Think about it and walk to the brewing stove.
I saw that there was still spirit rice mixed with the residue of Lingyun grass inside.
[You are analyzing the formula of black rice wine, primary analysis +1, black rice brewing proficiency +1]
Soon, Zhou Ling had an improvement plan in his mind .
The main problem is the ratio of black and moist rice. The ratio of new rice to aged old rice is seven to three. The brewed wine is the purest and the most spiritual.
My mother’s recipe is roughly six to four.
But at the moment he didn't know how to mention it to his mother.
I thought about it and smiled, "When I bought this jar of wine just now, the shopkeeper assured me that the rice they used was 100% new."
Li Ru smiled when he heard this. He smiled and said, "There is no 100% new rice formula. This shopkeeper is lying to a layman!"
Then he seemed to think of something, "By the way, this ratio is a problem!"
He looked up at the night again. Gradually, I couldn't help but pat my forehead and said, "Hey, I forgot to cook when I was so busy!"
Then he hurriedly walked towards the kitchen.
Father and son were left to continue tasting wine.
