"Spiritual wine?"
Tantai Yueming took a sip, almost in disbelief.
But after drinking the beverage, he found it even more unbelievable.
The concentration of spiritual energy in this wine is almost to the point of liquefying spiritual energy.
However, after just one bite, he felt that the bottleneck he hadn't broken through for a long time was showing signs of loosening.
If she had such a good thing, why would she need to rely on spirit stones for cultivation?
Lin Jiujiu almost saw through his thoughts and explained with a smile.
"This wine should not be drunk in large quantities. It can be used when advancing in level or breaking through a minor realm, and it will have unexpected effects."
Tantai Yueming glanced at the porcelain bottle in her hand, her eyes gleaming.
In an instant, as if he had thought of something, he immediately put the stopper back in.
What a joke! Such fine wine should naturally be saved for when he breaks through his bottleneck.
"Jiujiu, how much of this wine do you have left? Can you sell it to me?"
Tantai Yueming stared longingly at Lin Jiujiu.
This kind of wine, imbued with the essence of heaven and earth, is not something that ordinary winemakers can produce, let alone one with such a rich spiritual essence.
Lin Jiujiu looked at him expectantly, neither saying yes nor no, but simply asked with a smile.
"Young Master Tantai, is this business deal feasible?"
Yes, yes.
Tantai Yueming nodded hastily. What couldn't he do? He wished he could buy all of her spirit wine.
But when I came to my senses, I immediately realized something was wrong.
How much of this wine do you have?
This kind of wine, rich in spiritual energy, is not easy to brew; she probably wouldn't sell it.
Lin Jiujiu looked at the thing in her hand, thinking that she could have as much of this kind of wine as she wanted. After all, this wine was brewed by her in her space the night before last. She only used very ordinary sorghum, but she replaced the water used for the sorghum wine with the spiritual spring water in her space.
But she didn't intend to say that. Looking out the window at the vast expanse of cultivated wasteland, she thought for a moment and said...
"About a thousand catties."
By the standards of that era, a yield of 600-700 catties of sorghum per mu was considered high. Based on her brewing production rate, it would take about three catties of sorghum to produce one catty of wine. So, a thousand catties would be considered quite good.
However, this was just an excuse; she could brew as much of this wine as she wanted.
It all depends on whether she's willing or not.
When Tantai Yueming first heard that there was a thousand catties, she was very happy, but she immediately realized that something was wrong. The entire cultivation continent was much larger than the mortal world by thousands or tens of thousands of times.
Such a small output wouldn't even be enough for their Great Chu Kingdom, let alone the cultivation world.
Tantai Yueming frowned. "Can't there be more?"
Lin Jiujiu rolled her eyes at him.
"You think this kind of spirit wine is easy to brew?"
Tantai Yueming fell silent. If Lin Jiujiu hadn't said that the wine was brewed by her, he would have treasured the little bit he had.
After all, even his grandmaster might not be able to produce something this good.
If he were to take this small amount of wine to the cultivation continent, it wouldn't be enough to sell, let alone supply the sects.
Lin Jiujiu didn't try to guess his thoughts, but smiled instead.
"This kind of wine can only be supplied in a thousand catties a year, but the kind you drank before, I can give you as much as you want."
Tantai Yueming was clearly not interested in the previous type of wine.
No matter how good the taste of wine is, it won't fetch a high price in the cultivation world if it lacks spiritual energy.
Furthermore, the path between the mortal and immortal realms is not worthwhile.
Seeing him like this, Lin Jiujiu said with amusement.
"Why don't you mix the spirit wine with the wine from before and try it?"
Tantai Yueming became interested upon hearing her words, but he had already finished the ordinary wine he had just drunk.
Seeing that Baili Chenyuan seemed to have some more, he reached out and took them without thinking.
Baili Chenyuan originally didn't want to give it, but thinking that it was for Lin Jiujiu's sake, he handed it over anyway.
Just as Tantai Yueming was about to pour the spirit wine directly into Baili Chenyuan's half-empty bottle, Lin Jiujiu reminded her.
"There are cups on the table. Not a drop of spirit wine is needed. Just wrap it in spiritual energy and pour it directly into the cups."
Lin Jiujiu had already used an isolation array in the room before meeting the two, so she wasn't worried about spiritual energy leaking out and causing unnecessary trouble.
The reason I said that was simply to prevent him from wasting money.
Listen to advice, and you'll have a full meal.
Tantai Yueming, a prince from the mortal world, was able to carve out a place for himself in a major sect of the cultivation world not only because he had a good master, but also because he was willing to listen to others.
Hearing Lin Jiujiu say this, he did as she said.
The aroma of the wine wafted out as soon as it was poured into the glass, but it had no spiritual energy whatsoever.
Tantai Yueming used a wisp of spiritual energy to carry a drop of spiritual wine into the cup.
The wine in the glass had visibly changed, which Tantai Yueming found hard to believe.
"This, this, this... how is this possible?"
He thought he must be seeing things; how could a single drop of spirit wine turn that ordinary wine into spirit wine?
If spirit wine could be brewed like this, then what would be the point of its preciousness?
But now he's seen it with his own eyes.
Lin Jiujiu didn't find this strange. After all, in the world she had experienced, there were plenty of mixed drinks, and the ways they were mixed were incredibly varied.
Not to mention blending it with raw liquor; some unscrupulous merchants might even use alcohol directly.
She also understood why the cultivation world couldn't do this: their spirit wine was made with spiritual plants, while ordinary wine was just made from common grains. It was perfectly normal that ordinary wine couldn't retain spiritual energy.
She used the same ingredients, the only difference being the water used for brewing.
Then this problem would not exist.
After all, her elixir is completely soluble in water.
Of course, she wouldn't explain any of this to them. Instead, she glanced meaningfully at the cup on the table and said...
"Why don't you try and see?"
Upon hearing this, Tantai Yueming snapped out of her daze, grabbed the cup on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.
Unexpectedly yet logically, the spiritual energy nourished his entire body, making his already somewhat loosened bottleneck even looser, as if he could break through to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage at any moment.
Lin Jiujiu also noticed that his bottleneck was loosening and he was likely to break through at any time, but he was desperately suppressing it.
After thinking for a moment, she took out an array plate that she had carved in her previous lives from her spatial storage.
She currently lacks spiritual power, and can only set up formations by relying on the power of talismans.
The fact that Tantai Yueming desperately suppressed her cultivation level and refused to break through here may also be related to this world.
Very few ordinary people know of the existence of cultivators; this may be a customary practice in this world.
However, Tantai Yueming clearly cannot break this rule.
But suppressing himself like this is not a good thing for him.
He might even explode and die. After all, this was caused by his own spirit wine, and Lin Jiujiu couldn't bear to part with him, her tool.
