Chapter 210 Exquisite and Wonderful Wines, the Beauty of Spiritual Wine

The light and shadow shifted obliquely by the window, and Gongsun Jiuniang held a cup in her fair hand.

She slowly drank the wine in her glass, but her expression changed three times in an instant.

She first subtly raised an eyebrow, because although she already knew it was spirit wine, as a Xuanming Envoy, spirit wine, though precious, was not uncommon.

Then Gongsun Jiuniang's expression froze.

After a moment, her stunned expression seemed to melt away like a mountain stream, transforming into an indescribable, wondrous admiration.

Upon hearing the exclamation "Good wine!", Gongsun Jiuniang exclaimed in surprise, "Drinking this wine gives one an inexplicable feeling of being cleansed by the moonlight."

"The taste is truly wonderful. Although its spiritual energy content is only of the 'Nether' grade, its flavor is almost comparable to that of a 'Superior' grade spiritual wine."

As soon as the words were spoken, [500 likes]...

Chen Xu immediately sensed that Gongsun Jiuniang's strength was roughly the same as that of Magistrate Feng.

However, if it were Xie Huaizheng, the Ghost King, in his prime, Gongsun Jiuniang would still be no match for him.

Chen Xu himself had never encountered Xie Huaizheng at his peak, so it was ultimately just speculation and he could no longer make a concrete comparison.

At present, Chen Xu's attention was almost entirely focused on the so-called "exquisite" and "exquisite" items mentioned by Gongsun Jiuniang.

Is this a spirit wine? Chen Xu had never heard of it before.

The Food Cauldron Heavenly Book simply refers to Drunken Spirit Wine as ordinary, low-level spirit wine, while Jade Liquid Brightening Heart Wine is called Jade Liquid Spirit Wine, which is also a low-level spirit wine, only without the prefix "ordinary".

Thinking back now, the cultivation world of the Great Li Dynasty must have its own names and classifications for spirit wine.

Chen Xu was very curious about this, but he suppressed his desire to ask Gongsun Jiuniang further.

Since they've already invoked the authority of some "elder," they can't reveal too much of their "ignorance" in front of Gongsun Jiuniang.

Chen Xu simply drank his wine, smiling but saying nothing.

After Gongsun Jiuniang finished her drink, he poured her another cup.

Gongsun Jiuniang savored the wine for a long time this time. After drinking it, she suddenly blushed and said to Chen Xu, "Fellow Daoist Chen, do you still have any of this wine left?"

I also have an elder in my family who loves wine very much. As I serve as the Xuanming Envoy, I naturally try to find some excellent wine for her whenever I come across it.

"If Fellow Daoist Chen were to offer me a jug of spirit wine, I would gladly exchange it for thirty catties of spirit rice."

Thirty catties of spirit rice!
To be honest, Chen Xu had never received such a large amount of spiritual rice since he began cultivating.

Previously, Feng Yuanbai had asked him to go to the Ghost Market in Cangyuan to save Feng Xi, and had also given him spirit rice as a token of gratitude.

However, Feng Yuanbai gave Chen Xu a maximum of one jin of spirit rice. Later, Cui Yunqi also gifted Chen Xu spirit rice, but the quantity was also small, not exceeding one jin.

Therefore, Chen Xu had some understanding of the preciousness of spirit rice. He didn't expect Gongsun Jiuniang to order thirty catties right away, which shows how highly she regarded the Drunken Spirit Wine.

Of course, it also shows that Gongsun Jiuniang's family was very wealthy and extraordinary.

What was there to hesitate about? Chen Xu immediately agreed to Gongsun Jiuniang's exchange request.

He didn't say anything polite like "no need to exchange" or "just give it to me directly." Our relationship isn't that close yet. All that awkwardness and passing the buck is really annoying.

Chen Xu pressed his palm on the small table, and a small wine jar weighing two jin appeared on the table.

He pushed the wine jar toward Gongsun Jiuniang, who took the jar and took off a pair of small bells that looked like they were made of bronze from her waist.

Ding-a-ling, the bell rang.

Three white rice bags fell onto the table one after another. Gongsun Jiuniang pushed the three ten-jin rice bags to Chen Xu, holding the wine jar with a happy expression.

This was a truly enjoyable occasion for both host and guest. After that, when Gongsun Jiuniang bid farewell to Chen Xu, Chen Xu did not try to stop her.

After Gongsun Jiuniang left, Chen Xu opened the rice bag to check the spiritual rice inside. The spiritual rice that Feng Yuanbai had given him earlier was called Danyu Spiritual Rice. Danyu Spiritual Rice was orange-red in color and at first glance looked like clouds. It contained abundant spiritual energy.

According to the entry, regular consumption can replenish qi and blood. Three ounces of Lingmi can increase qi and blood by 1, while the effect decreases after consuming one pound, until it becomes negligible.

The spirit rice that Cui Yunqi gave was called Crimson Jade Spirit Rice. At first glance, it looked very similar to Crimson Jade Spirit Rice, but its color was more crimson, as if there was blood flowing through it.

According to the entry, regular consumption can replenish qi and blood; two ounces of Lingmi (a type of rice) can increase qi and blood by 1...

The following parts are similar to Danyu Lingmi, so I will not go into details.

When Chen Xu picked up a handful of the spirit rice given to him by Gongsun Jiuniang, he found that the spirit rice was actually snow-white.

No, it's a snow-white color with a slight bluish-green tinge, and at first glance it looks like a piece of warm and smooth Hetian jade.

Moreover, the grains of this spirit rice are extremely large; one grain is equivalent to three grains of ordinary rice.

Glossary:

【Jade Dew Spirit Rice has a refreshing and moist taste. It is good at replenishing vital energy. Regular consumption can enhance physical fitness, nourish life and boost energy, purify the body and mind, and has a certain effect on improving energy cultivation. It also has a strong feeling of fullness.】

Consuming ten catties can slightly increase one's true qi, while consuming one hundred catties can make a small improvement in one's cultivation.

The yield decreases after a thousand catties, but it can be used to refine a fasting elixir.

what……

Chen Xu found the entry very interesting after reading it.

Although Jade Dew Spirit Rice and other types of Spirit Rice such as Crimson Jade and Red Jade are all spirit rice, they are actually from two different directions.

It seems that Jade Dew Spirit Rice is more like a traditional grain.

No wonder Gongsun Jiuniang brought out thirty catties of this stuff; if there were too little, it would be embarrassing to present it.

However, Chen Xu wasn't entirely at a disadvantage, since the effects of the Drunken Spirit Wine were rather vague, roughly limited to things like nourishing the body, increasing spiritual energy, and so on... Most importantly, its taste was superb, capable of intoxicating the drinker.

Ultimately, if this were given to ordinary people, it would truly be a heavenly brew, undoubtedly beneficial for strengthening the body and curing diseases.

But if it's given to cultivators to drink, it's just to satisfy their cravings and receive some spiritual cleansing.

However, if one wants to cultivate in the long term using this method, it is still somewhat lacking.

Therefore, the value of Zuiling Wine lies primarily in the spiritual and wonderful experience it can bring to the drinker.

Jade Dew Spirit Rice is more substantial.

I just don't know what exactly "slightly" means by "a slight increase in true qi".
Chen Xu immediately had an idea. He put all the spirit rice into the kitchen and prepared to go back and cook a pot of it to try.

Just as Chen Xu was about to take action, Magistrate Feng arrived at the other courtyard.

Feng Yuanbo's footsteps were still not far away, but his voice had already reached them first.

He said loudly with a laugh: "Xuzhi, Xuzhi, you've kept this from your brother for so long. It turns out that you were the one who wiped out that cave of ghosts on Pufeng Mountain."

"Excellent! Thirty-first on the Xuan Ranking! Do you know that you're the only one from the entire Yunjiang Prefecture to make it onto the Xuan Ranking!"

Yes, Chen Xu felt that being ranked thirty-one on the Xuan Ranking was still a bit short, but in reality, as long as one could be on the Xuan Ranking, even someone like Feng Yuanbai would consider it an honorable thing.

Chen Xu stood there, and a different, subtle feeling arose within him.

It seemed that the prosperity of this world was entering his eyes from a different perspective.

It was only realized later, yet its impact lingers.

Feng Yuanbo walked in, still somewhat excited. He said, "I've been so busy with official duties these past two days that I received the news rather late. Xuzhi, you really know how to surprise people!"

Chen Xu was also pleasantly surprised that Feng Yuanbo had arrived. He could now consult this Brother Feng about the Lingjiu Youpin and Miaopin wines!
