Chapter 61 A Little Drink, Nine Melodies of Spiritual Ginseng
Chen Liang only has a dozen or so jars of this wine that he can savor. He buried them shortly after he formed his core, and they bear witness to his core-forming years; they are very precious.
Previously, when drinking with the bearded man, Chen Liang couldn't resist the man's tantrum and ended up giving him half a jar of leftover liquor, which made Chen Liang feel a pang of heartache.
Now, seeing that the wine actually had such effects, Madam Wen couldn't care less about being reserved and coughed intentionally or unintentionally.
Chen Liang quickly understood, so he poured a cup of Biling wine and used his spiritual power to deliver it to Madam Wen, who was not far away.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, my spirit wine has quite a few wonders; you should also savor it."
Madam Wen maintained her aloof demeanor and simply said, "Alright."
Then she picked up the jade cup on the table and took a small sip. With just one sip, Madam Wen inevitably fell in love with the refreshing and comfortable feeling, and looked at the spiritual wine in the cup with great delight.
Tianwuzi and Mutengzi, watching from a distance, felt their throats go dry. But with Wan Tianming sitting right in front of them, they didn't dare ask Chen Liang for drinks.
Only Jin Kui, the Grand Elder of the Star Palace, casually spoke up: "Fellow Daoist Mo, the aroma of your wine is truly enticing. Would you mind offering me a cup?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Liang didn't say anything more, but simply poured another cup of Biling wine and presented it to Jin Kui.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, please."
Jin Kui accepted the cup of spirit wine, took a small sip, and exclaimed, "This is truly fine wine! Fellow Daoist Mo has such refined taste. If you have time in the future, feel free to come to the Star Palace to find me, and I'll treat you to a cup."
After Chen Liang nodded in agreement, Ji Yin couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Brother Mo, the four of us are a group, you can't show favoritism to one another."
Upon hearing this, Chen Liang couldn't help but roll his eyes at Ji Yin. This old rascal had previously been afraid that Chen Liang would poison him, but seeing that Madam Wen and Jin Kui had drunk it without any problems, he dared to ask him for a drink.
However, once Xuan Gu obtains the Golden Thunder Bamboo, this old fellow's life will probably be over. These few cups of Jade Spirit Wine will serve as a farewell gift, so Chen Liang also poured a cup for Ji Yin.
And so, before the second trial of the outer hall of the Void Heaven Palace began, the group enjoyed a good drink for a while.
Biling wine is refreshing at first sip, followed by a lingering comfort.
If you drink it again, the refreshing feeling will return. Moreover, the medicinal properties of Biling wine can accumulate in the body, exerting their effects over a long period. Therefore, sipping it is the best way to enjoy Biling wine, making it perfect for passing the time.
During this time, the bearded man inadvertently thought of the young master of the Qingyang Sect who had never come out of the Spirit Abyss Land and complained, "Speaking of which, why hasn't the only son of the Three Yang Old Demon come out yet? Could it be that he really perished in the Spirit Abyss Land?"
That's a good thing, it saves this good-for-nothing from causing trouble everywhere and getting on our nerves.
Chen Liang said leisurely, "I guess you could say I killed that kid."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room stared intently at Chen Liang.
Chen Liang continued, "That brat tried to get his father to steal my cultivation technique when he was less than ten miles away from me. Moreover, this brat harassed my concubine, so I have no reason to let him off the hook."
Upon hearing this, Qingyi Jushi and the others finally understood.
The bearded man added, "He truly deserves to die. Brother Mo, don't worry, even if the Three Yang Old Demon comes knocking on our door because of this, I'll stand up for you."
Chen Liang: "Brother Man, let me finish. That kid didn't die by my hand. I only killed two of his guards. I didn't even lay a hand on him. The kid was so scared that he ran into the horde of spirits and died."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room shook their heads, feeling that it was against all reason for the young master of Qingyang Sect not to die.
After a while, as the huge teleportation array in the center of the waterside courtyard lit up with a burst of spiritual light, the second trial of the outer hall of the Void Heaven Palace began.
Elder Jia, who was sitting cross-legged beside the teleportation array, stepped forward to check its condition. After confirming that it was intact, he said, "Through this teleportation array, we will reach a secret realm where the second level of the outer hall is located."
Those who pass the first level of the outer hall can go inside to collect some medicinal herbs as a reward for passing the first level.
Afterwards, if anyone does not wish to proceed further, they can return the way they came. After some time, a teleportation array to leave the Void Heaven Palace will appear.
Gentlemen, please make yourselves at home.
After saying this, Elder Jia stepped aside, while Jin Kui stood up and said, "I remind you all once again: do not harbor any illusions and try to stay inside the Void Heaven Palace. In the past thousand years, no one has ever been allowed to stay inside the Void Heaven Palace again."
Afterwards, Jin Kui led Elder Jia away from the Sun Xie courtyard via the teleportation array. Once most of the Core Formation cultivators had left, Chen Liang and the others also departed.
In a vast and boundless space, as a burst of teleportation light appeared, the figures of Chen Liang, Madam Wen, Qingyi Jushi, Ji Yin, Manhuzi, Wu Chou, and the second clone materialized.
The group strolled forward, looking down at the vast expanse of sky and earth below.
Madam Wen said, "I need to gather some medicinal herbs. I will return after I'm done. We shall part ways here."
After saying that, Madam Wen transformed into a streak of dark light and left the place.
Chen Liang looked at Manhuzi and the others and said, "Brother Man, Brother Qing, fellow Daoist, I also need to gather some spiritual herbs to refine pills. As for my younger brother Mo Yuan, he plans to go with you to gather some longevity fruits, so I'll trouble you to take care of him."
Let's meet again at the Ice and Fire Canyon.
Upon hearing this, Manhuzi, Qingyi Jushi, and Jiyin all nodded in agreement.
So Chen Liang transformed into a streak of gray-blue light and headed straight for the southeast of this secret realm.
The bearded man looked at his second clone and asked curiously, "Who did you pick the Longevity Fruit for?"
Second clone: "I have a few elders I know who are nearing the end of their lives. So I want to pick some longevity fruits for them, and maybe I can exchange them for some spiritual items to help them form their Nascent Soul."
The bearded man said, "Oh, I see. Your cultivation is not far from the Nascent Soul realm; you really should start planning for Nascent Soul formation..."
On the other side, Chen Liang quickly discovered Xuan Gu. After the two sides reunited, led by Xuan Gu, they transformed into a blue-white streak and a gray-blue streak of light and flew towards an extremely remote place in this space.
Until Chen Liang and Xuan Gu arrived at a lush mountain forest, Chen Liang had already detected the unique pure and spiritual energy of the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng without Xuan Gu having to speak.
Xuan Gu said, "I suppose you have seen that pure spiritual energy, so I will not say any more. But the Nine-Bend Spiritual Ginseng is deeply favored by this world and has already developed the supernatural power of spiritual energy leaving the body and being able to transform into all things."
Finding only the ginseng's physical form is useless without its spiritual energy incarnation. Therefore, we must cooperate. You will be responsible for capturing the spiritual energy incarnation of the Nine-Bend Ginseng, while I will search for the ginseng's physical form.
Chen Liang nodded and said, "Okay."
Then Xuan Gu took out three items: a set of Four Symbols Xuanwu Formation, a golden silk ball magic weapon, and a jade box.
He said, "Here, these are the things needed to capture the spiritual energy incarnation. Last time I came, I wasn't prepared, which is why the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng escaped."
I didn't inform you beforehand, so I prepared it for you.
Especially this musk orchid fragrance; without it, it would be almost impossible to lure that spiritual entity into a trap.
Upon hearing this, Chen Liang couldn't help but show a look of disgust on his face.
Musk orchid fragrance is actually the excrement of a rare and precious mythical beast—the musk orchid deer. It helps cultivate spiritual plants, and the fresher the better, but the smell is, to put it mildly, indescribable.
Therefore, Chen Liang did not doubt that the musk orchid fragrance could lure the spiritual energy of the Nine-Bend Ginseng into a trap. However, the musk orchid fragrance was very unpleasant, and he really did not want to use it.
So Chen Liang said, "No need, I have a better way."
With that, a ball of primordial spiritual energy appeared in Chen Liang's hand. As soon as Chen Liang moved his mind, this ball of primordial spiritual energy quickly spread out.
Xuan Gu watched this scene with curiosity and asked, "What's going on?"
Chen Liang raised his finger, signaling Xuan Gu to keep quiet.
Before long, the thin primordial mist enveloped the surrounding mountains and forests.
The surrounding flowers, plants, and trees seemed to have taken a powerful tonic, their vitality suddenly becoming incredibly abundant. Moreover, the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests, and even the schools of fish in the water, all popped their heads out, excitedly inhaling the thin mist.
Only when a pure white rabbit suddenly darted out from underground and instinctively swallowed up the surrounding mist did Chen Liang smile slightly and say, "I've found the spiritual energy incarnation. You can go and catch the spirit ginseng itself."
After saying that, Chen Liang's figure disappeared instantly in front of Xuan Gu.
Xuan Gu looked around curiously, wanting to know where the spiritual avatar was.
Unfortunately, the thin mist could interfere with divine sense, so he naturally couldn't see the snow-white rabbit.
Left with no other choice, Xuan Gu could only follow Chen Liang's instructions and go capture the spirit ginseng's main body first.
