Lord of the Earth

"So, you are actually a human lord. No wonder you were able to produce the 'Amber Wine' that contained all kinds of rare powers!"

And after knowing this situation.

The wine saint Du Kang is more interested in summer.

A skilled cook cannot cook without rice. Even a saint needs good materials to brew the best wine. There are ten kinds of holy spiritual plants in the secret realm of the Mountain Ghost Clan, and each one is a "holy" for winemaking!
Even the mountain ghost clan is not proficient in the art of brewing wine.

Just knowing that the wine brewed using the most primitive method can still be called a "quasi-saint" product.

Therefore, in Du Kang's evaluation, the wine brewed by the National Liquor Academician who also possesses "holy qualifications" is even better.

"I think Young Master Xia is not an ordinary lord, right?"

Afterwards, Du Kang realized something as well.

After all, at this stage, there are ten kinds of "holy" spiritual plants, especially these spiritual plants are even suitable for brewing wine, which is too surprising!
In other words, theoretically, aren't there other sacred plants that are suitable for other uses?
Considering this point alone, the background displayed is extraordinary.

"It seems that I can no longer hide it from you, Senior. Yes, Baiyujing is the capital of my Qianxia Dynasty. Now my territory has expanded to become the Great Xia Dynasty... Mr. Wang Yangming is the chief priest of the 'Emperor's Academy' of my Qianxia Dynasty..."

Xia Tian smiled with a hint of pride on his face.

This is indeed something to be proud of.

After all, in just less than two years, the Qianxia Dynasty has made great progress from a small territory with only one person and one house to a dynasty that now controls tens of millions of people, has an array of famous ministers and powerful generals, and overwhelms the large number of surrounding alien races.

As a lord, it is reasonable and reasonable for him to be proud.

"It turns out that the king has arrived. I was a little too negligent before. I should ask Hu Ji to go to the 'Treasure House' next door to get some rare dishes..."

As soon as these words were spoken, even the three human saints.

Even Li Bai, who looked unruly, couldn't help but look serious.

Although the human race initially had many territories, and even now there are still tens of millions of territories remaining, the number of those that have successfully established nations is definitely not large!

"I have heard of the Qianxia Dynasty. It is said that Zhuge Wuhou and Wu'an Jun, one civil and one military, assisted in the administration... and under their command were Zhao Zilong, Jia Wenhe, Wen Tianxiang, Qi Shaobao... these first-class Chinese heroes. When the country was founded, they used five Xuanhuang treasures to suppress their destiny... Even among the human dynasties, this is very rare and has a very deep foundation!"

Cao Xueqin's eyes were filled with surprise.

As one of the earliest human territories established, the Qianxia Dynasty is indeed somewhat well-known even in this City of Saints!

In particular, the "trademarks" of Zhuge Wuhou and Bai Qi are dazzling even among the saints of the human race.

The human race's destiny dynasty that the two of them helped to establish naturally attracted attention!

Moreover, now we have to add Wang Yangming, the "last saint", to the team, and the scale is even higher.

To be frank, apart from the population, the quality of the top talents may even be better than that of the "Yongqian" dynasty where he originally belonged!
What's more, the vast majority of human race countries only officially completed their founding and heaven worship ceremonies after the fourth round of fusion of heaven and earth.

It is extremely rare to be able to successfully establish a country before the fourth round of fusion of heaven and earth. The "rulers" of such countries are undoubtedly true elites!

"Oh! Your Majesty's kingdom is named 'Xia'?"

In comparison, Du Kang was relatively calm and seemed to be more interested in the "country name" decided by Xia Tian.

"I intend to revive the Chinese culture in this eternal land and allow the human race to ascend to the 'Supreme' position. The name Xia is also to remember the contributions of our Chinese ancestors who ate raw meat and drank blood and worked hard to create civilization and continue the race..."

Xia Tian said in his mouth.

By the way, Xia Tian remembered one thing. There is no unified record about the age of Du Kang in history.

Some say he was a minister of the Yellow Emperor era, some say he was a king of the Xia Dynasty, and some say he was a person from the Han Dynasty. In short, there are many different opinions!

Judging from his words and deeds, it is very likely that he was really from the Xia Dynasty. It is even possible that he was like Zhu Youjian, who gave up his original identity as a "king" for his own love of skills!

If this is true, then if I want to recruit Du Kang, I can only start with "wine" rather than "official position."

"Lord Xia has accomplished such a great feat at such a young age. I really admire him. By the way, I wonder if Lord Xia is good at drinking..."

Du Kang looked at Xia Tian with encouraging eyes, as if he was remembering his past self.

His attitude was calm, and he did not become restrained at all because of Xia Tian's identity as the "Lord of Fortune".

After all, he was once a "king".

Moreover, although the human race at that time had kings, they did not have the common red tape of later generations!

In addition, the most important thing is that the status of a "saint" is no lower than that of a "king" in an ordinary dynasty of fortune.

After all, many kings themselves may not have a high level of cultivation, and some may even rely on the blessing of the national fortune of the "Lord of the Dynasty" to become "golden" heroes!
Of course, Xia Tian is not an ordinary ruler of a dynasty with good fortune, because not only has his own cultivation reached the holy realm, but the foundation of his own country is far beyond the reach of an ordinary dynasty with good fortune.

For this reason, even though Cao Xueqin and Du Kang were saints who reached the top in their respective fields, they did not show any disrespect to them.

The strong will always be respected.

"To be honest with you, Senior Du Kang, I am not very proficient in the art of drinking... I can only taste a little! I am not as good as Master Qinglian, who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."

Xia Tian shook his head.

This is the truth. Originally, he had no interest in "drinking".

However, after obtaining the formula of "Tiger Bone Wine" from the treasure chest during the initial development stage, one needed to extract the power from the tiger bones by drinking alcohol to practice, and he did learn how to drink!
But he just drinks, he's not an alcoholic.

"Drinking is indeed a nuisance for a monarch... However, the 'original juice' from the wine spring I brought back today is not intoxicating. Your Majesty, why don't you try it... It should be able to bring you a lot of benefits."

Du Kang cut some lotus leaves and folded them into cups, then picked up the jar and poured a cup for each person.

"Mr. Du Kang must have brought some good wine, so I'd better obey your order..."

Summer smile.

Although I am not a big drinker, I have seen before that this wine looks like a "holy product".

Just smelling it can make one's mind clear and even the power of the soul increases. This kind of treasure that can enhance one's own cultivation ability naturally cannot be wasted.

So, summer slowly raised the "wine glass", the body of the glass was shaped like a green lotus leaf, as if it were a real object swaying in the breeze.

The wine in the cup has a light amber luster, just like dewdrops sparkling in the morning light, revealing an alluring fragrance and indescribable charm!

Gulu!

The wine slid down his throat, bringing a hint of coolness, and then turned into a warm torrent, rushing into his lungs.

It was as if it was not just a glass of wine, but more like a river flowing with ancient power, nourishing every corner of his body. In an instant, a surging spiritual power rose from his Dantian like a volcanic eruption, quickly spreading to his internal organs, and even his limbs and bones.

This power was like a blazing flame, yet it also had the gentle feeling of spring water, wrapping every cell in his body with warmth as if it were a baptism.

He could clearly feel that his flesh and blood became denser under this force, and his bones became harder and harder like gold and stone under the impact of spiritual energy.

Every cell seems to be jumping for joy, releasing unprecedented energy.

What made Xia Tian even happier was that under the influence of the alcohol, his soul seemed to be nourished, allowing his perception and thinking abilities to take a qualitative leap, as if the whole world was clear and tangible in his consciousness!

If you practice in this state, the effect will definitely increase tenfold!
"Good wine, good wine!"

Xia Tian suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with genuine surprise.

He was surprised to find that his physical and spiritual strength had increased by more than one tenth in this short period of time.

Such speed is an incredible miracle even for a cultivator like him!
"It can't be considered a good wine. This stuff is just brewed with the green lotus seeds from the 'Wine Spring' that accompanies this old man. It can barely be considered a 'top holy product'... The reason why it has such an effect is more because of the effect of the 'Wine Spring' itself. Any object poured into the wine in the Wine Spring will become a special 'wine' with different characteristics!"

Du Kang shook his head and seemed dissatisfied.

Well, even the “top holy product” is not considered a good wine. It turns out that people who work in technology have really high requirements for their profession!

Summer is a little embarrassing.

Then, he had an idea and took out another gourd filled with amber wine.

"This wine is called 'Amber Wine' and the recipe comes from the Mountain Ghost Clan... It is also one of the spoils obtained by our Qianxia Dynasty after defeating this alien race! But even though the best ingredients were used when brewing the wine, it still cannot reach the level of a holy product. I wonder if Mr. Du Kang can tell me what is wrong with the brewing of this wine?"

Xia Tian asked sincerely.

"Well, this wine does have the potential to be a 'holy product'. However, its brewing method is not reasonable, and most importantly..."

Du Kang spoke directly.

To be honest, the alien race really does not have the ability to brew wine, and the quality of the 'base wine' used to brew this wine is indeed not good enough.

The preparation method of "Amber Wine" requires the use of "strong liquor" to extract the essence of flowers and fruits. This kind of strong liquor currently uses the wine in the "Endless Wine Flask" that has been upgraded to silver quality, which is considered to be the top level among the extraordinary levels.

But to be honest, it is still a little inferior to the real "Saint level".

Mainly among the craftsmen of the Qianxia Dynasty, even the most qualified ones have only reached the "grandmaster" level today, not even the extraordinary level.

In a sense, it is indeed a waste of materials and a downfall.

"I see. I understand."

"I don't know if Mr. Du Kang has time these days. I want to invite you to visit my Qianxia Dynasty and explain the art of brewing to the winemakers in our dynasty..."

Xia Tian looked as if he was suddenly enlightened, then looked at Du Kang and said.

See the picture poorly.

For a winemaker, the attraction of the "holy spiritual plants" left behind by the mountain ghost clan is absolutely invincible.

"What? The Qianxia Dynasty also has a secret realm called 'Yuanchen', and even the legendary five-colored spiritual soil..."

After all, brewing wine takes time, and the growth of spiritual plants also takes time.

Even if other forces could recruit such a winemaker, they would still need to collect various materials, and they might not be able to brew a jar of "holy wine" in a year.

Only the Qianxia Dynasty, with its current accumulation, is definitely ranked first among all human dynasties!

The most important thing is the "Five-Colored Spiritual Soil" combined with the "Yuan Chen Secret Realm" and the "Mountain Ghost Holy Medicine".

These things combined are enough to give people the opportunity to refine "holy wine" every month.

You have to know that even people who have reached the level of a saint in terms of skills still need to practice, and they need to explore and practice again and again in order to constantly discover their own shortcomings and make up for them.

Eventually, one can take his skills to a higher level and reach the legendary "god-level" realm which is higher than the holy realm.

In this case, it goes without saying that the Qianxia Dynasty was very attractive to this "wine saint".

Especially this five-colored spiritual soil, which is very useful to Du Kang.

You know, wine was originally brewed from fruits and vegetables.

However, due to restrictions on seasons and quantity, people later began to use more "grains" as raw materials.

Du Kang happened to have the seeds of five kinds of holy products in his hands, and they could even be combined together to brew "divine" wine, which would serve as the foundation for his promotion from "Wine Saint" to "Wine God"!

However, these seeds need time to cultivate, and they also require sufficiently high-quality spiritual soil with five elements to support their growth.

Therefore, it can be said that the Qianxia Dynasty fully met all its needs.

"Since Lord Xia wants Du to come in, it's fine. I'll go to the Qianxia Dynasty to discuss this 'Way of Winemaking' in a few days."

Du Kang agreed with a smile.

Of course, after all, he is a saint or a skilled person, and he will be treated like a star in any dynasty.

Even if you have the intention in your heart, it is impossible to make a decision easily!

Therefore, Du Kang decided to use the "temporary projection" authority that he possessed as a saint to first go to the Qianxia Dynasty to "preach" and find out what was going on.

"This is a wine stone. It is a stone that has been soaked in the wine spring for tens of thousands of years. It already contains the power of wine... I will give it to Your Majesty. By then, it should be able to allow the Qianxia Dynasty to prepare the real 'holy wine'!"

Then, I remembered something.

With a wave of his sleeves, he took out a stone about the size of a goose egg from the bottom of the "clay wine jar". The stone exuded a rich, refreshing aroma of wine and handed it to Xia Tian.

"Thank you, senior..."

Even in summer I feel very happy.

After all, this kind of stone, which is a "derivative of rare objects" and can upgrade silver rare objects, is at least of golden quality, and can be said to be no less inferior to "holy treasures".

Even for the wealthy Qianxia Dynasty, it is still precious and a treasure that is "hard to come by"!

Therefore, even if this "wine saint" was not allowed to enter the Qianxia Dynasty directly, the two sides still left a very good "incense". Even if the other party descended to another human country, there would still be some "wine friendship" when they meet in the future! (End of this chapter)
