After I became an immortal in Uchimaki, I went from being a loser to becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 222 Plum Blossom Wine

Because of their dual cultivation relationship, Xiao Hei and Sanhua had more contact with each other, and he slowly learned a lot from Sanhua about animal cultivation, as well as a few things about Wugui.

Xiao Hei could sense that Sanhua was actually quite secretive about Wugui, but since Xiao Hei still often accompanied the Chou Princess to Wugui's school, Sanhua would occasionally remind him.

For example, Wugui has a very bad temper and likes to kill. If you meet him in school, you must stay away from him.

Sanhua seemed to be very afraid that Wugui would come into contact with Xiaohei.

"Your physique is quite special. Great wizards like him love to study these things. If you are accidentally captured, your status as an ugly princess will not be able to protect you." Sanhua said.

Xiao Hei had heard about Wu Gui's elixir making. The elixirs made by the great wizard were mostly for the purpose of enabling the emperor to practice better, and the purpose of the emperor's practice was nothing more than to ascend to heaven and obtain better resources.

Although we are already the humans with the most abundant resources in this world, we now have to spend some of our resources to fight for a tiny chance, which is to become immortal.

"It is indeed very small." Sanhua said, "Immortals and humans, ghosts and gods, are originally different races. How difficult is it to cross races? So now the elixir developed by Wugui can only make humans live longer, because longevity will give people more time, and time is actually a very precious resource. Many people who do not have talent for certain things can make up for some of the missing talents if they have more time than others. But longevity elixirs are not easy to develop, and the materials consumed are very precious and rare. What's even more incredible is that you have to do something that hurts your own race."

"For example, boiling a person into soup?" Xiao Hei remembered what the princes and princesses said when he first went to school.

"It's just a soup, and it's just a human experiment." Sanhua glanced at Xiaohei, "Can the newly developed elixir be directly taken by the emperor?"

Xiao Hei shook his head, "No."

"That's it?" Sanhua said sarcastically, "The emperor's dragon body cannot be easily tested. If you are not careful, the consequence will be the loss of your head. However, the emperor will not execute Wu Gui, but the students around Wu Gui instead."

"So just let ordinary people try it?" Xiao Hei said.

"This is only part of the reason. Of course, the thing you heard about is that it is made into soup, but you still wouldn't understand the specific reason even if I told you."

"But..." Xiao Hei recalled what he had heard from Big Brother, "Didn't they say that the emperors of Shuiyue Kingdom have the ability to communicate with the immortals of the upper realm? If the emperor allowed Wugui to do these things, wouldn't the immortals in the upper realm give advice?"

In Xiao Hei's understanding, mortals like to pray to gods and Buddhas the most, so gods will definitely protect mortals.

If the gods knew that the emperor was doing these things, they would definitely stop him, right?

However, whenever this topic came up, Sanhua would shut up.

A complex light flashed across its eyes, and the expression on its face turned into one that became even more sarcastic, but its mouth would no longer open.

Maybe Sanhua doesn’t understand either?

Xiao Hei doesn't understand.

But Meng San felt that Sanhua must know some of the reasons.

According to its own knowledge, most gods and immortals are not as powerful as it is. Even after ascending to heaven, it is not easy to make a living in the heaven.

The gods themselves are busy taking care of themselves, so how can they have the time to care about mortals?

Just like Sanhua said at the beginning, they are different races, and no one has the obligation or responsibility to protect anyone else, so whether the other races live or die is irrelevant.

Becoming an immortal is for yourself, but after becoming an immortal can you do it for others?

Only a bald donkey like Ji Wuchan would do such a thing as giving alms to mortals.

What a fool.

There were many things Xiao Hei couldn't figure out about Wu Gui's elixir refining, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

But I became more and more wary of Wu Gui and tried not to go to places where Wu Gui was.

However, dual cultivation did bring many benefits. Xiao Hei clearly felt that his cultivation was on the right track. Many spells that he had never been able to practice before were mastered by him overnight.

All of this is thanks to Sanhua's advice to him. Because of Sanhua's "care" for Xiaohei, Xiaohei also wants to do something for Sanhua within his ability.

But compared with Sanhua, I am so weak and incompetent, what can I do?
Xiao Hei thought about it for a long time, and when he was with Sanhua, he always observed its needs and preferences. He wanted to start from there and see if he could do something for it.

After careful observation, Xiao Hei finally discovered Sanhua's preferences.

Sanhua likes to drink, but tries to restrain herself.

Because alcohol will make people's brains fall into chaos, and once they fall into chaos, what they say and do will become out of control.

When doing things in the palace, the most taboo thing is to talk nonsense.

Especially a cat that is about to turn into a monster, not to mention that this cat is raised by the most powerful witch in the palace.

Xiao Hei thought about it and thought that if he followed its preferences, he could buy good wine for it to drink, but good wine required enough silver.

It asked the starling and learned that a pot of good wine would cost at least several dozen taels of silver.

It was difficult for it to get enough food every day while following the ugly princess. Where did it get these dozens of taels of silver?

It is convenient to leave the palace, but I am worried about not having money.

When it comes to gift-giving, after choosing a gift that suits your taste, if the gift turns out to be of poor quality, it is better not to buy it.

This is what the mynah bird said.

Xiao Hei also agreed with this.

But now it can't even afford the lowest quality wine.

Later, it racked its brains for a while and finally came up with a solution - making its own wine.

Although I can’t make any fine wine, it’s always different to make it by hand.

It just takes a long time, and it takes at least one or two years to brew wine.

But for those who practice cultivation, one or two years is actually nothing and it passes in the blink of an eye.

This is a good decision.

Having made up my mind, I began to learn how to make wine.

The method of brewing wine was not difficult to obtain. With the help of the information from the starling, it quickly found the recipe in the small kitchen in the palace.

Unfortunately, when he was looking for ingredients according to the recipe, he was accidentally discovered and almost had his leg broken before he escaped.

Later, we kept it a secret from Sanhua and raised it for some time, and then winter came.

Xiao Hei wants to brew plum wine.

It was the time of blooming flowers. Large patches of wintersweets beside the long red walls of the imperial city were in full bloom like brocade, or like the brilliant haze in the sky at sunset.

The mynah bird was so careless that it turned around and told Sanhua.

Sanhua followed the cat's paw prints that shaped like plum blossoms left by Xiao Hei, and when she was walking on the crunching snow, she happened to see Xiao Hei standing on the branch of a plum tree, with a bandage on his injured leg. His sapphire-green pupils were exceptionally bright, and he was staring at the clusters of red plum blossoms on the branches with an expression of readiness.

Under the sky covered with thick clouds, snow fell silently. The white dots were like silver butterflies and white gauze, floating lightly down with the rustling of red plum blossoms, swirling in the wind, and landing on Xiao Hei's soft black hair, on the tip of its upturned pink nose, and on the cat's paws that were shivering with cold.

It fell into Sanhua's heart, wetting a small area of ​​it.
