BXBX NOVEL Chapter 64 - Millennium Ice Crystal Wine
There were various types of Magical Beasts in this world, and plant types are naturally not an exception.
Unlike heaven and earth materials that are born naturally but they can't gain sentience and intelligence. Plant-type Magical Beasts were initially only ordinary plants that inhaled spiritual energy and gradually transformed into Magical Beasts.
Usually, the cultivation of plant-type Magical Beasts are ridiculously slow. For example, this Willow Tree; it had been cultivated for a hundred years but could only advance to a Rank 1 Magical Beast.
However, compared to other Magical Beasts, plant types usually had the most extended lifespan. A hundred years for mortals may not even be their lifespan. Therefore, their slow cultivation is quite reasonable.
Qin Yi continued to observe the Willow Tree then asked casually, "Does it attack people?"
The black robe man replied, "During the month I've lived in this village, I've never seen this Magical Beast attack the villagers. They say that their Spiritual God will only act if the village was attacked. Therefore, it can be said that the Spiritual God has kept its duty very well."
The corner of Qin Yi's mouth twitched slightly.
That's a really dutiful Spiritual God.
As they kept walking toward their destination, Li Hai suddenly stopped his step.
"Wu Kun, I haven't seen any villagers since the beginning. Where have they gone?"
"Returning to Captain Li, I heard that the hunters of this village managed to capture three boars this time. They are probably gathering at the back of the village to watch the game."
Wu Kun answered without a hitch, then he asked back considerately.
"Do I need to take the captain there?"
"Mmm, no need. Just take me to the Village Chief's house."
"Yes."
About ten minutes later, they finally arrived in front of the Village Chief's house.
The Village Chief's house is bigger than the other houses in this village. This was expected of the person with the highest authority in this village.
Shortly after, a middle-aged man with a thin body greeted them.
"Greetings, Sir Immortals."
He looked very nervous when he said this greeting, and everyone could see this from his face.
"This humble one didn't know sir Immortal would arrive in this village so I didn't have enough time to personally welcome you..."
"It's alright, Village Chief, it's my fault for not telling you beforehand. More importantly, is Blind Old Man inside?"
"Ah, yes, he's currently relaxing in the backyard."
"Alright, my companion and I will go there to greet him. May you inform him at the moment?"
"Yes, I will inform Sir Blind now!"
After that, the Village Chief went straight to the backyard.
"Wu Kun, have you prepared some wine?"
Li Hai suddenly asked while waiting for the Village Chief to return.
"Captain Li, I just prepared two different wine jars."
Wu Kun replied, then he continued to say in a hesitant voice.
"I thought you only came alone, so I just prepared a portion for the captain and myself..."
"It's alright, give my portion to my junior brother. I have already prepared wine for myself."
"...If Captain Li says so, I will give it to this brother."
Meanwhile, Qin Yi, who listened to their conversation, ordered the system to extract Wu Kun.
This guy's cultivation base is only at the Seventh Stage of Qi Condensation Realm. Thus, the system can extract it.
'System, extract Wu Kun!'
[Extraction completed!]
[Obtained 15 Cultivation Points]
[Obtained 48 Spiritual Minds]
[Obtained 250 Spirit Stones. Grade: Low-Grade]
[Obtained Spirit Wine Gourd. Grade: Normal Artifact.]
[Obtained a jar of wine Millennium Ice Crystal Wine. Grade: Rank 2]
[Obtained a jar of wine Summer Joyous Wine. Grade: Rank 2]
...
"Oh? Even wine has a rank?" Qin Yi was slightly surprised.
He is not unfamiliar with winemakers. Whether it's in the mortal world or the cultivation world, if there is wine, there must be a maker.
However, in the cultivation world, Wine Maker is a branch of the profession of a Spiritual Chef.
Suppose people want to become certified Wine Maker. In that case, they have to get official Spiritual Chef's status from the Secondary Profession Association, which means they have to pass an annual exam just like any other secondary profession exam.
Wu Kun handed Qin Yi a bottle of wine as he said.
"This wine is a Rank 2 wine called Millennium Ice Crystal Wine. To make this wine, my grandfather was even willing to travel to Extreme North Land in search of a Rank 2 heaven and earth material called Millennium Ice Crystal."
"My grandpa is a Master Winemaker. He loves to make wine and travels around looking for unique ingredients to make wine. I also learned to make wine from him. I am now an Apprentice Wine Maker and just a little bit away from Master Wine Maker."
"That's impressive!"
Qin Yi sounded like he was giving a compliment to Wu Kun.
But his eyes were actually staring at the UI in front of him.
He was delighted and unexpected that he would get a spiritual mind from this guy. What's more, it's not a small number.
48 Spiritual Minds...
Doesn't that mean that this guy's current spiritual mind's measurement is 70?
It was not a small number, but it is still a long way for him to advance from Apprentice to Master.
What a braggart...
Regardless, Qin Yi should thank him for this.
Meanwhile, Wu Kun smiled as he felt proud and satisfied by the opposite party's compliment, so he continued to speak with generosity.
"Before my grandpa goes out again, I asked him for these two kinds of wine. At first, I wanted to give one to Captain Li; however, you can have it since the captain already has his own wine."
"Then, I'll be impolte. Thank you, Brother Wu."
"It's nothing~, it's nothing~."
Wu Kun swiped his index finger against his nose as his face gleamed with haughtiness.
Qin Yi was stunned as he accepted the jar of wine.
Seeing Wu Kun like this, he couldn't help but change his impression of Wu Kun.
At first, he thought this guy has a reserved character, but now, he looks more like an arrogant brat.
Did he get worked up and changed his character after we talked about wine? Or is it because I praised him?
Qin Yi thought maybe it was because of both.
If only Wu Kun knew that Qin Yi got three free bottles of wine from him...
Before long, the Village Chief appeared again.
"Sir Immortals, Sir Blind said you can enter but don't forget to bring some wine!"
Li Hai smiled and said, "We have prepared it. Thank you Village Chief for the trouble."
"Where, where..."
The Village Chief got flustered after receiving gratitude from the sir Immortal.
"Please follow me, sir Immortals!"
Led by the Village Chief, the three of them walked through the passage connected to the house's backyard.
When they were almost there, the Village Chief suddenly said, "Sir Blind said that you can either enter together or one by one."
Li Hai cast a glance at his junior brother and his subordinate. Then he said, "Let's do it one by one. Junior brother, you will go first!"
"Me?"
Qin Yi bewilderedly pointed his finger at himself.
It's not that he didn't expect this; it's just that he wasn't ready and didn't know what to do there. After all, things were going too fast and too sudden that he had an urge to massage his temples.
"Fret not, junior brother! You just need to talk about that seller and let Blind Old Man prophesy it. Also, take this!"
Li Hai took out something from his ring.
It was none other than the Turtle Lava Dragon shell.
"This..."
Shouldn't this be in Huang Haoming's hands?
Qin Yi looks surprised as he looked at his senior brother in bewilderment.
"I borrowed it from Huang Haoming for a while." Li Hai smiled as he explained vaguely.
Qin Yi pursed his lips and said inwardly; I thought you just confiscated it!
"We've arrived!"
The Village Chief brought them when they arrived at the backyard.
"Sir Blind is in the hut near the fish pond, sir Immortals can go there now."
"Go, junior brother!"
"Yes!"
***
Qin Yi walked over in this backyard and approached the hut where Blind Old Man lived.
The backyard is just a plain area with only a few trees, flowers, a hut made of wood, and a fish pond.
He wondered why such a big shot like Blind Old Man was willing to live in a place like this?
It was said that people who live too long usually have eccentric characters. That's probably true.
It didn't take long for Qin Yi to arrive at the hut, and there, he saw a white-haired old man sitting on a wooden recliner holding a gourd in his hand.
"This humble one pay respect to sir Blind Old Man!"
Qin Yi immediately removed his hood to show his respect.
"Oh, come here!"
Qin Yi immediately approached this old man while carrying a jar of wine in his hand.
"Hmm, what a straightforward child~."
Hearing this, Qin Yi coughed as he felt awkward.
He had never flattered old people before, so he really didn't know what to do.
