Chapter 333 The Great Tonic Wine

Magu is very good at brewing wine, which Zhang Miao has known for a long time. Brewing wine is also a branch of winemaking. Although it is very common, it is easy to learn but difficult to master.

Wine is the essence of food. Dan is the essence of medicinal materials. Both extract the essence from base materials. However, as monks reach higher levels of cultivation, they gradually lose their reliance on grains and grains, and start living in the open. Food is no longer a necessity for monks, so the wine naturally falls behind.

But elixirs are different. The more advanced a monk is, the more obvious his need for elixirs is.

The art of brewing wine is, after all, a minor art, and cannot be promoted to the level of elegance. In the past, Zhang Miao didn't care much about Magu's wine-making skills. After all, elixirs were much more useful than medicinal wine.

But now, Zhang Miao has almost no talent for alchemy, and brewing something that doesn't require much talent seems to be more suitable for Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao did not hesitate and agreed immediately.

After Zhang Miao agreed, Magu breathed a sigh of relief and began to teach Zhang Miao the art of making wine.

In fact, if you want to master the art of brewing wine, brewing is also essential. The biggest material for brewing wine is the base wine. The quality of the base wine determines the quality of the medicinal wine, and the medicinal materials determine the efficacy of the medicinal wine.

There is no way to teach the brewing aspect well now, so Magu can only simply brush it off. What is really useful is the art of soaking in wine. This time, Hengtwenty-Nine offers amber wine, which is a kind of yellow wine with the color of amber, viscosity like oil, and sweetness like honey. This wine tastes very good, but it is not suitable as a base wine for medicinal wine. Zhang Miao didn't quite understand this, so she just thought it was wine.

Fortunately, this problem is not big. Magu only needs to distill it again to turn the rice wine into white wine. Three hundred kilograms of amber wine was distilled, and after the head and tail were cut off, it was only two hundred and forty or fifty kilograms.

These wines still need to be ‘purified’ before they can be used as better base wines. If you are not in a hurry, you only need to store it in a place with suitable temperature and humidity. The longer the cellaring time, the better the quality of the wine.

But now Zhang Miao and the others don't have time, so they can only use a quick method, which is the 'wine accumulation method'. After soaking a part of the wine with tartar, then take out the soaked tartar, and then add new wine, so that You can get base wine of similar quality to cellaring. However, this is a quick fix method after all, and its effect is still somewhat inferior.

Wine gangue is a kind of tartar formed by thousands of years of precipitation in large wine cellars. The best tartar can be directly soaked in water to turn water into fine wine. Magu naturally collected some of these stones. Today Just in time to use it.

After being busy for a long time, Magu was so busy that she felt dizzy and couldn't stand steadily. Her body is very weak. Years of blood loss have made her body worse than before. Now she can't breathe even with the slightest exertion of her powers. Zhang Miao quickly released Yaocha to help. This Yaocha was strong and fit for such work.

Yaosha was also alert. Following Magu's instructions, he began to stir the base wine and tasted the saltiness. Then Magu threw various medicinal materials into the wine vat.

The base wine at this time was only [-] kilograms. After putting in a lot of medicinal materials, Magu sealed the vat to make wine.

She also explained to Zhang Miao: "This Shiquan Tonic Wine is brewed with ten kinds of tonics, and there are no fixed rules for these ten kinds of tonics. You are also a doctor, and you can add and change it according to your own situation, but you must meet the requirements." Ten kinds of numbers.”

These words made Zhang Miao nod. This was his field, and he understood it immediately.

"The next step is the real difficulty of brewing this wine. You need to use divine power to make this wine." Magu also said seriously at this time.

"In my opinion, making wine is like making elixirs. People often say that making wine is easy but difficult to make elixirs. In fact, making really good wine is not easier than making elixirs. I am here to teach you the wine recipe I created. Using this wine tip can not only shorten the brewing time, but also enhance the quality.”

Magu's words made Zhang Miao nod again. He didn't think what Magu said was a lie. He also saw it when Magu brewed the colorful wine. In fact, it was not as simple as refining alchemy, and the effect of the brewed colorful wine was not as good as that of alchemy. The elixir is weak.

Next, Magu focused on explaining the wine technique she created. Use your divine power to activate the wine juju, and use the wine juju to activate the wine vat. Gradually, the smell of wine emanates from the wine vat.

A faint smell of wine spread out, and the Yasha beside the wine jar sniffed and smelled the smell. The smell of the wine was so fragrant that it made the Yasha smell heavenly, and he was seduced by a desire for wine.

Yaksha is born with demonic energy, and he is a creature with no taboos and heavy desires. His desire was aroused by the wine, and his eyes were fixed on the wine vat, his throat kept swallowing, and the next second, he pounced on the wine vat.

"What a wanton beast!" When Zhang Miao saw this scene, he immediately yelled and cursed. With a thought in his mind, the Yasha who rushed towards him suddenly trembled all over, then fell to the ground and started rolling in pain.

"It hurts! It hurts! Master, please spare my life! Master, please let me go!"

Yasha crawled on the ground and begged. At this moment, he was suppressed and his whole body felt like mosquito bites and ant bites, with numbness and pain that reached deep into his bones. This type of yaksha has heavy desires, and is naturally more sensitive to all kinds of pain, pleasure, joy, and sadness. The pain caused by the outbreak of the ban now made him lose all his alcoholism, and he was so frightened that he quickly begged Zhang Miao for mercy.

Seeing how badly he was being tortured, Zhang Miao stopped thinking and let the yaksha take a breath. After Yasha regained his breath, he didn't dare to stay here, so he immediately turned into a stream of demonic energy and flew away.

Magu didn't care about this. She was just concentrating on refining the medicinal wine. If she wanted to shorten the brewing time of the medicinal wine, she had to devote herself to using the wine technique.

After two or three days of this, Magu finally stopped casting spells. She was extremely tired now. She waved her hand and said to Zhang Miao: "The wine has been brewed. Go get the bar."

Zhang Miao nodded. He first checked that Magu was fine, and then opened the wine jar to get some wine. However, when he opened the wine vat, he was slightly surprised because there was only a thin layer of wine in the huge wine vat. The other medicinal herbs and wine have disappeared.

Zhang Miao poured out this layer of wine and only got one pound and eighty taels of wine.

Magu also regained her breath a little at this time. She looked at the wine and said lightly: "After the Shiquan Datonic wine is brewed, only one catty can be produced from a hundred catties. And one catty of wine can increase one year's Taoism. Although There won’t be much growth, but as long as there are enough raw materials, we can continue to grow, which is a very simple matter.”

At this point, Magu couldn't help but continue: "Now that you have mastered the routine of medicinal materials here, you only need to manage it well. Brewing ten or eight catties of medicinal wine in a year is not a problem. In this year, you can increase your Taoism by ten or eight years." …”       At this point, she suddenly thought that this was not a good place for cultivation, and she swallowed her words again. He just shook his head with a wry smile.

Zhang Miao also understood what she was thinking, and then he said calmly: "You are right, as long as we survive, there is hope for everything..."

He handed the Shiquan Datonic wine to Magu and said: "Take this wine to replenish your body first. First, you must heal your body." He didn't wait for Magu to refuse, and continued: "I have more wine here. With the medicinal materials, I can continue to think of ways to brew a few more tanks of wine."

After listening to Zhang Miao's words, Magu couldn't say anything she wanted to refuse. She really needed to replenish her strength, otherwise her vitality would really be damaged, and she wouldn't even be able to replenish it with medicinal wine in the future. And Zhang Miao was right, he still had medicinal materials, and he could continue to brew medicinal wine.

Besides, his relationship with her doesn't need to be pushed around like this. So she took the jug and said to Zhang Miao: "I will take it first this time, and I will continue to help you make wine later."
-
  The first brewing went smoothly. In the following time, Zhang Miao traded with Heng Twenty-Nine several times. Heng twenty-nine is also a person who doesn't know how to restrain himself. He is afraid that others will steal his business, so as long as Zhang Miao is willing, he will exchange wine for it. After this, Zhang Miao was given no less than three thousand kilograms of amber wine.

After getting the wine, Zhang Miao and Magu worked together to refine Shiquan Datonic wine, and finally got thirty kilograms of Shiquan Datonic wine. This time Magu only wanted five kilograms, and the remaining twenty-five kilograms were given to her. Got Zhang Miao. Compared with Magu, Zhang Miao's health is not optimistic.

During this period, Heng Shiqi came twice, and each time he fed Zhang Miao a magic pill. Zhang Miao's body was infected by the demonic energy, and she would suffer great damage every time. Although he can force the demonic energy out in the form of Yaksha, the demonic energy will still cause harm to his body.

Zhang Miao could only prepare medicine to treat his injuries while drinking Shiquan Dabujiu to strengthen his body. Medication can treat the injury and is a temporary solution. The Shiquan Datonic Wine can strengthen the Xuanli Mansion and fundamentally strengthen the monk's body. This is a fundamental solution. The stronger the body, the faster it recovers and the stronger its ability to resist evil energy.

And all of this seemed to be seen by Heng Shiqi. Several times when Zhang Miao was taking medicine and drinking, Heng Shiqi suddenly barged in. The place was full of demon cultivators, and the distance was so close that even the warning from the divine mind was too late.

However, Hengqiu didn't care about Zhang Miao's behavior at all. He just fed Zhang Miao medicine. In this way, Zhang Miao's body got better and better under the torture of the magic pill!
-
  Time passed slowly like this, and Zhang Miao had spent more than a hundred days and nights as his drug tester. The days here are long and the nights are short, and Zhang Miao doesn't know if one day and night here are equivalent to one day and night in the outside world. Anyway, his twenty-five kilograms of medicinal wine has been finished, and he has already started brewing the second batch of medicinal wine.

But this time when they were exchanging wine with Heng Twenty-Nine, something was wrong with Heng Twenty-Nine. He was very impatient, and this time he brought [-] kilograms of wine. He said to Zhang Miao: "I'll trade you for [-] kilograms of wine." A pound of wine!”

Zhang Miao frowned when he saw so much wine. It's not that he couldn't exchange it, but if he exchanged so many medicinal materials, he was afraid that he wouldn't have enough medicinal materials to brew five thousand kilograms of medicinal wine. If the medicinal materials were not enough, what would be the use of more wine if he exchanged them. .

Zhang Miao shook his head and said, "It's too much. I can only exchange it for three thousand pounds."

Unexpectedly, Heng Twenty-Nine's expression changed as soon as Zhang Miao said these words. He grabbed Zhang Miao's shoulders and said viciously: "I know you have a lot of medicinal materials, you can change them! Don't force me to do it!"

"Then it would be better if you kill me and just steal my medicinal materials?" Zhang Miao said lightly. He seemed not to care about his own life at all, but he had secretly released the Yaocha. As long as the demonic cultivator dared to take action, Yaksha dared to kill him! Now that Zhang Miao's yaksha has eaten many yakshas, ​​his strength is no longer the same as that of the little yaksha.

After all, Heng Twenty-Nine was cowardly. He glared at Zhang Miao and breathed heavily from his nose. He let go of Zhang Miao bitterly and said, "I want thirty-five medicinal plants, no more!"

Seeing the way he chose people to eat, Zhang Miao made some calculations in his mind. Thirty-five medicinal herbs were within his acceptance range. He nodded and said, "Okay."

With this reply, Heng Twenty-Nine looked better. He directly accepted Zhang Miao's thirty-five medicinal herbs, but gave him five thousand kilograms of wine. Seeing this move, Zhang Miao seemed to feel something.

"Are you in trouble?" Zhang Miao suddenly said.

Heng Twenty-Nine was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said: "It's trouble, but it's also an opportunity. If I get through it this time, I'll be no worse than Heng Seventeen!" After saying that, he turned around and left without giving Zhang Miao any attention. A chance to talk again.

Seeing his retreating figure, Zhang Miao pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's a pity that such a good barrier is gone..." Thinking about it with his cerebellum, Zhang Miao knew that this Heng [-] incident was a crime. !

The fact that he secretly exchanged medicinal materials with himself must have been discovered, and the brothers behind him must have discovered his cheating behavior, and they are probably discussing how to deal with him at this moment. And his current behavior seems to be planning to make the final vote...

However, he is a disciple of the Black Lotus Patriarch. There is absolutely no such thing as taking the money and running away. He cannot escape the hands of the Black Lotus Patriarch.

If he couldn't run, then he most likely hid after finishing this vote... He changed the medicinal materials before hiding, and he also just put down his harsh words. Could it be that he wanted to take this opportunity to refine the elixir? , a desperate counterattack?
  This is very possible. Heng Twenty-nine has a simple mind and likes to use force to break situations. Coupled with the resources he collected some time ago, he is very likely to refine the elixir and then fight back desperately. If this move shocked those brothers, with the urinary nature of the Black Lotus lineage, he might really survive and occupy a high position...

Of course, the premise of all this is that he can survive.

Zhang Miao looked at Heng Twenty-Nine who was walking away with some pity. Greedy people will always be counterattacked, and he is not optimistic that Heng Twenty-Nine will be able to successfully counterattack. Among dogs, a single dog can never defeat a group of dogs, and this single dog doesn't look very smart. It is very likely that he will be divided and eaten and become food for the dogs.

Zhang Miao sighed. It is very likely that there will be no 'partners' who are easy to control and deceive in the future. I don't know who the next manager of the medicine field will be. If he is someone who is difficult to deal with, not afraid of death, and has some evil intentions, he I'm afraid it won't be easy...

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao began to think deeply. After a while, he slowly said: "This Heng Twenty-nine can't die yet... He must succeed."

Thinking of this, he suddenly called out Yaocha, and then said to Yaocha: "Go and catch up with Heng Twenty-jiu. No matter what method you use, help Heng Twenty-jiu win this chance of survival and let him continue to stay in the medicine field." Take charge of this position.”

After hearing Zhang Miao's instructions, Yaocha said eagerly: "I obey your order, my master!" After saying that, he smiled cruelly, suddenly grew a pair of wings and flew over!
