Chapter 222 Spiritual Wine Second Level, Information Report(2/4)
Meng Zhou came to the first large vat and poured a spiritual fruit called "Qingluo Fruit" from the storage bag into it.
From the sky above, under the mobilization of the formation, it was like turning on a faucet, and accurate spiritual rainwater fell from the sky and was accurately injected into the mouth of the cylinder.
When the spiritual rainwater reaches three-quarters of the water line, stop immediately.
At this moment, Meng Zhou had already pressed his hands on the cylinder, and his magic power seeped along the cylinder into the cylinder filled with spiritual rain and spiritual fruits.
And special techniques are used to guide the spirituality inside the spirit fruit and evenly disperse it in the water environment in the tank.
When a faint aroma seeped out from the mouth of the cylinder, the clay sealing mud flew over from the side and lightly covered the mouth of the cylinder.
Next to them, Bai Zhi and Zhu Qian were watching the whole process. They didn't feel bored or disturbed. It wasn't until Meng Zhou finished and covered the mouth of the cylinder with mud that Bai Zhi asked:
"Are you making wine?"
Meng Zhou nodded and said: "Don't you think drinking tea every day is too bland? You can try a new flavor in the future."
"You can also make wine?" Bai Zhi was surprised and curious.
"Um."
Meng Zhou originally wanted to say that he didn't know it yet and was still studying, but after thinking about it, he swallowed the truth and just responded vaguely.
With that said, Meng Zhou had already arrived in front of the second vat. This time, what he poured into the vat was another spiritual fruit that was completely different from the Qingluo fruit.
After he sealed the second vat with mud and walked towards the third vat, he took out a brand new spiritual fruit.
In this way, when Meng Zhou walked to the seventh vat, poured half of the vat with spiritual rice, and filled the entire vat with the rootless water from the sky, he asked Zhu Qian to turn all the spiritual fruit and spiritual rice he had purchased.
Used it once.
When Meng Zhou walked to the eighth vat and poured the Qingluo fruit used in the first vat and the moon yellow core used in the second vat evenly into it, Zhu Qian was already confused.
Finally I couldn't help but speak again:
"Master, don't you have a fixed recipe for brewing wine? I wonder why you use any ingredients?"
Meng Zhou said: "This is not casual... Well, my brewing method is rather special, and it may be a little different from what you think."
This was not Meng Zhou's prevarication. The brewing method he used was not only not the kind that refers to some fixed brewing recipes in the general sense, it was also not the kind mentioned in the inheritance of the "Spirit Winemaker" on the jade slip in his hand.
Although he decided to take advantage of the break from practicing the "Time Flowing Water Sword" to study the jade slip passed down by the spiritual wine master.
But he never thought about following the instructions in the jade slip passed down by the spirit wine master step by step.
Once upon a time, when he was still in the foundation-building realm, Meng Zhou had sorted out the first- and second-level methods of alchemy and weapon refining.
And successfully put the traditional and empirical methods of alchemy and weapon refining into a completely new framework.
As long as this method is strictly followed, the threshold for first- and second-level alchemy and weapon refining will be much lower.
However, when Meng Zhou did these studies, his fundamental purpose was to level up the third-level skill of Vientiane Deduction.
At that time, he had already reached the limit of the second level of alchemy and weapon refining. Even if he completed the reconstruction of the alchemy and weapon refining system, he could no longer practice it again.
Although the inheritance of this spiritual wine master is very different from that of the alchemist, they also have many things in common.
Among them, the biggest commonality lies in the understanding of spiritual fruits, spiritual herbs, and other spiritual materials, and the mobilization of spirituality in them.
The research experience in this area can basically be transferred.
It has been many years since he inherited the spiritual wine master's inheritance. Although he has never mastered it, Meng Zhou has basically mastered 80-90% of it intermittently.
Although he didn't really get started and it was a bit like talking on paper, Meng Zhou also gained a lot of experience based on the experience he gained from sorting out alchemy and weapon refining.
The jade slip in his hand records the complete inheritance of the third-level spiritual wine master. There are also many skills that the spiritual wine master needs to master at each level.
Just like an alchemist has different formulas for refining different elixirs, each with different techniques.
Although the skills that a spiritual wine master needs to master are slightly less, if you want to become a non-specialist and all-round spiritual wine master, you still need a lot of skills.
But after Meng Zhou's own sorting out, and looking down from his current height, he found that most of the so-called different skills actually have the same basic purpose.
It's like for some people, they only need to know "1+1", but for some people, if they can't memorize the multiplication tables by heart, they will be so panicked that they won't even be able to walk.
.
With this idea in mind, Meng Zhou integrated the complex Spirit Wine Master skills into three skills.
"Wine-making method", "Wine-steaming method", and "Bartending method".
The first two methods are both methods of making base wine, and they can be taken a step further and directly integrated into the "brewing and steaming wine method". However, Meng Zhou believes that this is not necessary for the time being.
The "mixing method" is a step to give different functions to the spirit wine, and it is also a step of the soul.
After being dismantled in this way, the entire spiritual wine master system became clear.
Now, all Meng Zhou has to do is to combine the ideas in his mind and the experience he learned in alchemy and weapon refining into practice.
Bai Zhi, Zhu Qian and the others couldn't understand his operation. This was just him taking the opportunity to familiarize himself with Lingjiu's technique of using different spirits.
Although the spiritual materials used in each tank are different, they can all be unified under the skill of "Brewing Method".
Because the main purpose is to conduct research through practical exploration, rather than blindly pursuing speed and efficiency.
Every day, after practicing the "Time Sword", Meng Zhou would make twenty jars.
The combination of spiritual materials in each tank is different.
On the first day, Zhu Qian was curious and watched the whole thing from beginning to end. However, she just walked away the next day, and Bai Zhi was also not interested in watching anymore.
And she couldn't see the complex and subtle changes that occurred when Meng Zhou's mana mobilized the spirituality of various spiritual materials in the cylinder. From their perspective, everything was naturally boring.
Five days later, one hundred large jars were all sealed with mud.
All the spiritual materials that Zhu Qian prepared for Meng Zhou as required were also sealed in these large tanks.
After only five days of trial and error, Meng Zhou had perfected this level of brewing method.
On the sixth day, Meng Zhou came to the first vat again.
Bai Zhi came over again out of curiosity and said, "Are you going to open it now?"
Meng Zhou nodded: "Yeah."
"Is it so fast?... But I heard that the longer the spirit wine is brewed, the more fragrant it becomes. It can take months or even years."
"That's because they don't have a deep understanding of spirituality and can only rely on the power of time.
Of course, the flavor of my spiritual wine will indeed improve over time.
But...it doesn't matter, it's just a verification anyway.
...In addition, my spiritual wine is different from the spiritual wine you drink in the market."
"What is the difference?"
"You'll know after you taste it when it's brewed."
While Meng Zhou was chatting with Bai Zhi, the magic power had formed a complex and weird structure around the wine tank.
When Bai Zhi saw this, she looked like a curious baby again, "What is this?"
"Wine steaming utensils." Meng Zhou said.
Bai Zhi said: "Of course I know about the wine steaming utensils. Your magic power is so powerful that you can directly use your magic power to replace the physical utensils. I also understand.
But it’s not like I’ve never seen wine steaming equipment before, why is it so different from yours?”
Meng Zhou smiled and said: "I just felt that the original wine steaming equipment was too crude and inefficient, so I made some adjustments."
"That's it."
While the two were talking, Bai Zhi, who was watching with wide eyes, saw a transparent pipe formed by mana inserted into the sealing mud and penetrated into the large vat.
Soon, cyan liquid was drawn up from the mana pipe and entered a closed cavity with only a few pipe holes.
Here, under Meng Zhou's precise control, the temperature is divided into different areas.
The cyan wine turns into cyan liquid, rises to different heights due to different temperatures, enters different pipes, and is continuously poured into simple containers.
Instantly, a scent of wine filled the air.
"Wow, it smells so good."
When Meng Zhou saw Bai Zhi's nose twitching, trying to capture the scent of wine in the air, he felt it was funny and said:
"If you're really curious, just take a bite."
"Is that okay?" Bai Zhi heard this, with a look of surprise on her face.
Meng Zhou nodded, "Of course."
Bai Zhi used magic power to take out a little bit and held it in her mouth. Her eyes suddenly lit up, but soon her face turned bitter again.
"Well, it tastes good when you first eat it, with the fresh and fruity aroma unique to Qingluo fruit.
However, it was a bit too spicy, and with just a small bite, I felt like a knife was cutting my throat."
"You happened to drink the one with the highest intensity. Try the other one next to it. This one should have a much softer taste..."
"Oh, really..."
