Chapter 240 Quickly Invite Second Senior Sister

Zhong Hui was both surprised and delighted upon hearing this, and hurriedly said, "Then, Madam Liao, can you brew this again? This is what Senior Sister Sandy wants!"

As she spoke, she stepped aside, revealing Sandy behind her, who also had a happy expression on her face.

“It’s Sandy who wants it!” Madam Liao smiled even more, her eyes crinkling. “Alright, pick more of these leaves, I’ll try it, it should be ready in about a month or two!”

"One or two months!?" Zhong Hui's eyes widened: "But this one in the wooden tub only took a few days to turn like this!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Lady Liao was surprised for a moment upon hearing this, but she quickly came up with a very complete plan: "Then I'll brew a few more jars, open some after seven days, and brew the rest for a while longer. Who knows, with enough time, it might actually turn into wine!"

Upon hearing what Lady Liao said, Zhong Hui and Ye Hanxing happily agreed. The two of them took Sandy back to Spirit Medicine Peak and, unlike their previous laziness, began to actively clean up the medicinal fields. However, this time, they piled up all the large-leaved vines they had cleared up, intending to sort them out before sending them to Lady Liao.

Seven days later, as promised, Lady Liao brought out two jars. As soon as the jars were opened, an enticing sweet fragrance wafted out. Everyone shared several cups and tasted them. The exotic aroma of plants was mixed in, creating a unique flavor. The spiritual energy was also very rich. Upon tasting, one felt a strong surge of spiritual energy. Although the absorption was limited, it was almost equivalent to the amount absorbed during each breath in normal cultivation. It was as if spirit stones had turned into water!

Lady Liao had already absorbed the Qi into her body and immediately felt the benefits. She then said to Zhong Hui and the others, "This stuff is really good. Since you discovered it, why don't you give it a name? You can also send it to me to brew and sell. As for the price, let's follow the example of Immortal Peach Wine. I'll also give you some of the profits later, how about that?"

"That's great, but when it comes to naming it..."

Zhong Hui stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm not good at naming things!"

As she spoke, she looked at Ye Hanxing beside her.

Ye Hanxing was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly: "I haven't read many books, how would I know anything about naming!"

Lady Liao covered her mouth and smiled, then said, "Then why don't we ask the Sect Leader to take a look and name it?"

Zhong Hui nodded eagerly: "That's a great idea! If the sect leader likes to drink it, we might be able to make a lot of money from this!"

Ye Hanxing said helplessly, "Senior Sister Zhong, you've already received your share of the profits from the Peach Blossom Sect, and you're still thinking about making money!"

Then Ye Hanxing hesitated and said, "The sect leader is very busy with affairs of state, and... and he is very dignified. We... we shouldn't go directly, should we?"

Indeed, Zhang Chengdao always appeared to his disciples as a serious and unsmiling man with unfathomable cultivation. Although they had never seen him lose his temper, everyone felt a sense of awe towards him.

Therefore, when it came to going to the sect leader and asking him to name the drink they had just made, everyone hesitated.

Only Zhong Hui gritted his teeth and said, "What's there to be afraid of! Who would complain about making more money! You wait here, I'll go and fetch Second Senior Sister!"

After speaking, she disappeared in a flash before anyone could stop her.

……

Murong Ruyan had just returned to Baishi Mountain.

The affairs in the Guanlong region still required Heshi Lietu to be in charge, as there was a severe shortage of manpower there. This forced Heshi Lietu to even pay out of his own pocket to ask his fellow disciples and fellow disciples in the sect to go and help.

Murong Ruyan, his personal disciple, was too expensive for him to afford, so he could only watch helplessly as his second senior sister turned away and returned to Baishi Mountain without any regard for his feelings.

When Zhong Hui invited Murong Ruyan to try the new drink, she was quite happy. After all, she had never been close to anyone in the sect, and now that Zhong Hui often came to visit her, she really felt like she had gained a younger sister.

"This is the drink you were talking about?"

Murong Ruyan stared at the green liquid bubbling in the bowl, looking very hesitant.

Although there is a famous "Green Ant Wine" among the wines, the green color of that stuff is yellowish-green and very pale, not even as deep as the color of tea!

But what about this one!

It was so dense it was like jade, yet also like a pond overgrown with duckweed—it was quite eerie!

Is this stuff really safe to drink?

Murong Ruyan looked somewhat disgusted.

However, after glancing at Zhong Hui's expectant face, she picked up the bowl and carefully took a bite.

It's sweet and refreshing with a unique aroma. The taste is somewhat similar to Yu Fu Liang, but without that unpleasant alcoholic flavor. Instead, it's quite delicious!
Murong Ruyan immediately drank the green beverage in the bowl in one gulp, and a rich spiritual energy flowed down her throat, surprising and delighting her.

Murong Ruyan no longer found the lush green color strange; in fact, she found it quite pleasing to the eye. She couldn't help but ask, "This thing is nice! What's it called?"

"It doesn't have a name yet!" Zhong Hui was overjoyed to see Murong Ruyan praising the green drink. He chuckled and said, "Senior Sister, if you think it's good too, why don't we let the Sect Master try it and ask him to name it?"

Murong Ruyan glanced at Zhong Hui and sneered, "So you were waiting for me here."

Zhong Hui stood up obsequiously, ran behind Murong Ruyan, gently massaged her shoulders, and said, "Hehehe, Second Senior Sister, we're just too scared to go, so we can only rely on you!"

Murong Ruyan did not stop Zhong Hui, and even found her junior sister's actions somewhat cute. However, she kept a straight face and pursed her lips, saying, "Master has always had a very good temper. What is there that he wouldn't dare to do?"

Zhong Hui's tone became increasingly obsequious: "After all, you're the sect leader! Oh, Second Senior Sister! My dear Second Senior Sister, please help us! Whether we can make big money depends on the sect leader praising us! At worst, I'll give you half of all the money I earn in the future!"

"Forget it, you should keep that little bit of money for your own spending money!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Ruyan knew what the little girl was up to. However, she did think the thing was quite good; it was called a drink, but it could even be used as medicine when necessary, and replenishing spiritual energy seemed quite effective.

It doesn't seem to be of much use in places like Baishi Mountain, which are rich in spiritual energy. But if you go to other places where spiritual energy is scarce, this thing will be very useful to cultivators!
Thinking of this, Murong Ruyan finally nodded: "Alright, I'll make the trip. You can take this with you. You made this yourself, so I can't go and introduce it to my master, can I?"

"I knew Second Senior Sister was the best! Hehe!"

Zhong Hui immediately picked up a bowl of green drink with great joy. While following Murong Ruyan, he turned his head and winked at everyone, looking like he was saying, "Look how awesome I am!" This made Ye Hanxing, who was most afraid of Murong Ruyan, admire him greatly.

Second Senior Sister is known for killing without blinking an eye, so it's amazing that Senior Sister Zhong can talk to her like that!
