"I didn't expect that my little friend is so proficient in alchemy. However, cooperation in brewing medicinal wine is a thorny issue. When we terminated the cooperation with Alchemy Valley, in addition to the other party violating the taboo of my Dionysus Palace, there is actually another reason.
That is, when brewing the medicinal wine, Dangu was not sincere and deliberately kept many core parts of the medicinal wine secret.
As a result, the medicinal wine brewed will not be of much benefit to the improvement of the realm of the disciples of my Dionysus Palace." The high priest said.
Obviously, Dionysian Palace did not gain any benefits from the original cooperation with Dangu. Dangu only produced technology, but the technology was also hidden. He refused to export his own technology, and also coveted the brewing power of Dionysus Palace.
techniques and recipes.
As a result, the Dionysus Palace suffered a big loss that time. Dangu stole a lot of wine formulas and part of the wine-making techniques, which made the Dionysus Palace extremely angry.
Therefore, when Long Chen proposed cooperation, the high priest was very cautious and said ugly words first. In other words, if he could not see what he was interested in, the high priest would not cooperate.
"Although Long Chen is young, he understands many things. The last time he came to the Dionysian Palace and communicated with the disciples of your palace, he actually relied on the scriptures and meanings in the art of alchemy to confirm each other.
You have also seen that the two have many things in common, and they can indeed complement each other and be of great benefit to the disciples of the Dionysian Palace.
Here, I have designed several formulas based on the wines of some seniors, but because I don’t know the process and technology of brewing, the formulas are only preliminary, but I believe that they should be able to impress you." After Long Chen finished speaking, he handed it to Da.
Priest a piece of paper.
The above is densely recorded with some recipes for elixirs, as well as brewing processes similar to some wines, as well as the benefits of the complementary benefits of elixirs and wine during the brewing process.
At the same time, it also pointed out the difficulties and areas where failure is likely to occur. It was very detailed and various deductions were made with incredible accuracy.
The high priest read the entire note several times. Even with the high priest's calmness, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Based on the wine, Long Chen deduced its raw materials, craftsmanship, process, and heat, and it turned out to be exactly the same. It was shockingly accurate.
The ideas proposed by Long Chen are also the same as some of the ideas proposed by Dionysus Palace and Dangu, but Long Chen has many more bold ideas.
At the same time, when cooperating with Dangu in the past, there were several difficulties that could not be overcome. Long Chen introduced them in detail, which moved the high priest.
"You really touched me. Young people today are really scary. I want to know, what do you need now?" the high priest said.
"What I need now is some brewing recipes from the Dionysus Palace, as well as the detailed production process.
I will use these formulas to assist with alchemy to combine the two into one. However, I will only provide techniques, and the practice needs Dionysus Palace to complete it." Long Chen said.
The high priest smiled and said: "You know, my Dionysus Palace has been passed down for countless years, and there are many recipes for wine."
"It doesn't matter. I have as many prescriptions for elixirs as you have for wine." Long Chen also smiled, but his smile was full of confidence.
"Hahaha, such an arrogant tone, but the old man likes the young people's unwillingness to admit defeat. So, I will ask these disciples to give you their wine recipes later.
But the ugly words are ahead. If the formula you provide cannot attract them, you can't blame the old man for breaking his promise and refusing to cooperate." The great elder said with a smile.
"Don't worry, if you don't even have this strength, how can you dare to discuss cooperation with the Dionysus Palace?" Long Chen said.
"Now that it's been agreed, I won't disturb the high priest's precious time."
After Long Chen finished speaking, he left.
A few hours later, the high priest stood alone in the courtyard, staring at the cracks on the statue of Dionysus in a daze.
"High Priest, are you looking for me?" Tu Qianshang, who was tall and mighty, like an evil god, walked in.
"What was the result of the battle?" the high priest smiled.
"Oh, forget it, this bastard doesn't show any respect at all. Not only did he lose all his wine, but he also owed him a favor." Tu Qianshang said angrily.
"It's not a shame to lose to him. Even the Dionysus refused to offer incense and couldn't bear his kneeling ceremony. He bent his knees slightly and the Dionysus statue almost collapsed. He is an unpredictable existence." The high priest said.
"What? Is this guy so scary?" Tu Qianshang looked at the statue of Dionysus in horror.
"Qian Shang, I just received the revelation from the God of Dionysus. Long Chen will give me a great opportunity in the Dionysus Palace. When Long Chen comes, you will be responsible for the reception," the high priest said.
"Yes, disciple understands." Tu Qianshang said.
"The cooperation with Long Chen is limited to communication over wine. Do not talk to him about any ancient secrets, so as not to contaminate the cause and effect.
In addition, there is no need to be rigid, just let things take their own course. Just do what you normally do." the high priest reminded.
"Disciple understands, hehe, no wonder I think this kid is very evil, he is really not simple." Tu Qianshang said with a smile.
…
When Long Chen returned to the Daxia Palace, Zi Yan was waiting for him at his residence.
"Long Chen, with the guidance of the high priest this time, the barrier has been loosened. I will return to Miao Le Immortal Palace for retreat tomorrow to break through." Zi Yan looked at Long Chen and said.
"Going back so soon?" Long Chen was surprised, and at the same time, he felt helpless at the breakthrough of the powerful Le Dao expert.
This breakthrough is too easy. Just say a few words and understand something clearly, and then you can break through the barrier. This is much easier than the hard-working martial arts.
Martial arts cultivators are faced with the impact of one heaven after another, and every barrier is very strict. However, for music cultivators and wine cultivators, what they cultivate is a spiritual realm, and what they focus on is enlightenment.
But having said that, although it is difficult to make progress in martial arts, you must be steady and step by step. If you encounter big shackles, you can use elixirs to break through them.
But this is not possible for special practitioners such as Le Dao and Jiu Dao. Pills are useless to them. Sometimes once a barrier appears, it will be difficult to break through and they need to constantly look for opportunities.
For example, Zi Yan has been stuck with this barrier for several months. Without the high priest, it may take her several years or even decades to break through. She may also be stuck by a shackle for the rest of her life and become an inner demon.
Can never be promoted.
"Long Chen, you have been fighting everywhere over the years and have committed a lot of murders. In the depths of your eyes, the sea of blood is churning. Can't you feel it?" Zi Yan looked into Long Chen's eyes and couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't preach to me, don't come to Donghuang. It's best not to talk about this topic, it will hurt your feelings." Long Chen shook his head.
When they were in Donghuang, Zi Yan tried to persuade Long Chen, but they broke up on bad terms. Both of them had their own ideas, and no one could shake the belief of the other.
"Long Chen, haven't you ever looked in the mirror? Is there another you deep in your soul?" Zi Yan looked at Long Chen with a hint of worry on her face.
Long Chen was shocked. He had indeed felt that something was wrong with him recently. When he looked in the mirror, he was afraid to look at his pupils, as if he was afraid of himself.
"It seems that you have noticed, Long Chen, that you have killed too many people. The negative shadow in your body has absorbed those innocent souls and expanded rapidly. If this continues, you will get lost and become a murderous maniac.
Have you noticed that you are getting more and more irritable, more and more prone to anger, and more and more unable to control yourself?" Zi Yan looked at the shocked Long Chen and said with some concern.
"Maybe, but I really want to know, the evil way killed more people than me, so why are they okay?" Long Chen asked.
"Because they believe in evil gods and are bound by the power of faith, but if you don't have faith, you are like a duckweed without roots or a kite without strings.
You can't control yourself, so when one day your desire to kill engulfs you, you will become a killing machine." Zi Yan said.
"I have my faith, and my faith is my parents and relatives, my confidante, and my passionate brothers.
They are all existences that I will protect with my life. Miss Zi Yan, the so-called "killing evil but not killing evil", please don't tell me anymore, let alone try to influence me.
I have already said many things in Donghuang, and now I say it again, you are not me, and I am not you.
Your duty is to uphold justice for God and believe that whatever God decides is right. But I am different. I don’t think so.
The fundamental contradiction between you and me is that neither of us can see the problem from the other's perspective, so don't dwell on this problem, okay?
I even can't figure it out, there are thousands of bad people in the world, why don't you try to influence them, but you focus on me?" Long Chen was very puzzled.
"Because you are my destined devil." There was a struggle in Zi Yan's beautiful eyes, but she finally said these words.
"What do you mean?" Long Chen was stunned.
"It means that the two of us are natural enemies. Either you die or I die." Zi Yan looked at Long Chen, a hint of complexity appeared in her beautiful eyes.
In fact, when she left Donghuang, she originally thought she had gotten rid of the demon star Long Chen, but this encounter made her finally understand that there is no way to get rid of what is destined.
"This joke is not funny at all." Long Chen shook his head.
"This is no joke. I should have killed you when we were in Donghuang, but I couldn't do it.
But this encounter, your influence on me is getting bigger and bigger, and my heart has begun to fluctuate greatly because of your appearance.
Because I discovered to my horror that you already have a lingering shadow in my mind.
"Long Chen, I'll give you a chance. Come to our Miao Le Immortal Palace, get rid of the killings, and we can live in peace." Zi Yan looked at Long Chen, with a hint of pleading in her tone.
Long Chen was extremely shocked. Zi Yan looked like she was not joking at all and was extremely serious. Only then did Long Chen realize the seriousness of the situation.
"For you, I can give up my practice, as long as you stop killing." After Zi Yan said it, she gently grabbed Long Chen's big hand.
