Chapter 114 Setting up a factory
After this live-streaming vegetable sales event, Li Chang'an saw that pomegranates and pears had started to bear fruit on the orchard slope.
He fertilized the fruit trees, thinned out the fruit, and also did some minor pruning.
Back in his room that night, he was scrolling through videos when he unexpectedly came across a lot of new ones. The titles of these videos were all calling out to him, and the content was all about urging him to brew more wine.
There's a new video with over 100,000 likes. It was casually filmed by a young man who was practicing martial arts with Aunt Zeng. The video starts with him marveling at how amazing Li Chang'an's wine is. In the middle, there's a short clip of a cultivator undergoing tribulation, with bolts of lightning striking down, and there's definitely a figure in the middle.
Finally, the young man said that his great-aunt had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage after drinking peach wine brewed by Li Chang'an. Moreover, after overcoming the tribulation, she immediately reached the third level of Foundation Establishment. His great-aunt was originally ninety years old, but her mental state was better than that of other elderly people. Now she looks only sixty or seventy years old, and she even has some black hair on her head.
[Oh my god, is it really that exaggerated? They're even touting a reversal of aging effect.]
The young man who posted the video replied: "I didn't say it reversed aging. Cultivators' bodies and spirits improve after their cultivation increases. You can verify this with the Cultivation Alliance if you don't believe me. And I'm not bragging; my Aunt Zeng said that the wine contained spiritual energy, quite a lot of it. Otherwise, how could I have instantly advanced to the third stage of Foundation Establishment after breaking through?"
In the comments section, many people also began to sigh.
The vegetables at Immortal Mountain Farm contain spiritual energy and are certified by the Cultivation Alliance, so the wine they brew is sure to be excellent.
Sometimes it's not that we buyers are exaggerating; the products Li Chang'an sells are genuinely good. You'll know once you try them.
Since Li Chang'an started selling vegetables online, every time he does a live stream, the internet is flooded with positive reviews. I think even those who haven't tried his products should try to desensitize themselves; this is no exaggeration.
Li Chang'an casually browsed the comments, then scrolled past the video and saw several other videos posted by netizens. Besides describing how good the wine was, they were all asking him to brew more.
After browsing for a while, Li Chang'an suddenly realized that among the netizens who won the prize this time, some had awakened their spiritual roots, while others had broken through in their cultivation. Moreover, after breaking through, they all immediately rose to the second or third stage of Foundation Establishment.
They are all related to spiritual practice.
Li Chang'an was forced to fall into deep thought.
That batch of wine used ingredients such as wine flowers and water from the Ningjing River. The former is a mid-level spiritual plant, and the latter is water that fungi, tea spirits, and other spirits particularly love. In addition, spirit rice was added during the brewing of sorghum wine, so it naturally contains a lot of spiritual energy.
Although spiritual energy is beneficial to people, if one receives too much spiritual energy at once and cannot withstand the transformation into spiritual power, one will explode and die.
These wines, imbued with spiritual energy, were naturally drawn by those destined for cultivation, and those who were just one step away from awakening and breaking through—people who needed a large amount of spiritual energy.
If such a drink were drawn and consumed by an ordinary person, someone who is not striving for a breakthrough, it could lead to serious trouble.
Fortunately, the lottery also depends on luck, and those who won are destined to have a connection with this wine.
During this period, the netizens who won the prizes praised the fruit wines repeatedly, making other netizens extremely envious.
At first, it was just the netizens who won the prize urging Li Chang'an to brew more wine, but later other netizens also started urging him to do so.
During this live stream, many people in the chat were asking if there was any alcohol.
Will there be another giveaway of wine today? I've heard it tastes really good; I won't give up until I try it.
[Please, streamer, you're the most fan-friendly streamer, brew more wine! I'll even pay for it myself, I just want to taste what it's like.]
I imagined fruit wine to taste as good and be as easy to drink as fruit juice, but after buying and drinking it a few times, I've been very disappointed with the taste.
Before Li Chang'an could even begin introducing the vegetables he was going to sell that day, he couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the comments on the screen.
"It tastes like fruit wine as you might imagine, not too pungent, and not easy to get drunk on."
Wow! Now I really want to try it!
Seeing the increasing number of comments asking for alcohol, Li Chang'an cleared his throat and said, "I'll consider selling alcohol. Are you still selling the dishes today?"
[Sell! Of course we have to sell!]
Li Chang'an smiled.
After the live stream ended, Li Chang'an cleared out a few plots of land and continued to plant some sorghum.
The grown sorghum can be used to brew wine, and the straw can be composted to fertilize the land.
Before the sorghum matured, he first fermented and distilled a batch of mid-stage liquor using rice he bought from outside and the rice he grew himself.
When brewing sorghum liquor, Li Chang'an consistently used water from outside.
The two batches of sorghum liquor produced were slightly less flavorful and less mellow and smooth than the batch made with Ningjing River water, but the overall quality was still very good.
Wine made from ordinary but good quality rice does not have the same rich aroma as wine made from premium rice.
This results in three different qualities of wine, each containing a different spiritual energy.
The wine, brewed using only the hop flower, contains slightly more spiritual energy than the premium vegetables grown on the Immortal Mountain Farm.
It was brewed using three spiritual ingredients: Fine Wine Flower, Spirit Rice, and Water from the Ningjing River. Its spiritual energy content is almost on par with Immortal Rice, which is the batch that Li Chang'an gave away in his last live stream lottery.
After spending some time testing the quality of various wines, Li Chang'an decided to set up a factory and used 100 acres of land to plant wine vines.
Setting up a factory is a big deal, with complicated procedures and many required formalities.
The initial step is to select a suitable factory site.
The factory certainly wouldn't be built in Xuanling Immortal Mountain. Li Chang'an spent some time in Ling'an City and finally won a bid for a piece of land auctioned by the government, intending to build the factory from scratch.
With the help of Qingfeng Sect disciples, the factory was built and decorated, and it was completed in three days.
After the factory was built, the disciples took their newly calculated pay slips to Li Chang'an to exchange for immortal rice or sorghum wine.
After that, Li Chang'an began to obtain various certificates.
He is a cultivator, and the factory's environmental protection and fire protection facilities can be solved with arrays or talismans. The situation is somewhat special, but fortunately, after the staff carefully inspected and tested the facilities on site, they did not hold him back at any stage and signed and stamped the document without hesitation.
With all the factory-related matters completed, winter had already arrived in the Cangxuan Realm. Pomegranates, persimmons, pears, chestnuts, and oranges from Jiarong Mountain in Xuanling Immortal Mountain were all on the market and received great acclaim.
Among them, netizens praised chestnuts the most.
When eaten raw, chestnut flesh is firm and has a chewy, crisp texture, and it tastes sweet as you chew it.
When cooked or roasted, chestnuts become powdery, soft, and sweeter, like eating a pastry.
No matter how you eat it, you don't have to worry about finding worms after biting into it, so you can eat it with complete peace of mind.

At the end of the year, the Xianshan No. 1 seed produced by the Xiadu Academy of Agricultural Sciences finally hit the market.
Netizens discovered that a new page had been added to the Xianshan Farm mobile app, which contained some seeds.
During his recent livestream selling vegetables, Li Chang'an introduced the seeds he was selling.
"The Xianshan Generation 1 seeds are hybrids of seeds nourished by Xianshan Mountain and other seeds. Researchers from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences have tested them many times, and the seed quality is very good."
"The first batch of seeds is available for free trial planting. If you are interested, you can apply for seeds from the local agricultural and forestry authorities."
Wow! If you crossbreed seeds nourished by a sacred mountain, will the vegetables grown from that be of the same quality as the ones you grow?
"Some vegetables have improved in quality, while others have only become better in terms of yield, cold and flood resistance, and disease resistance. Everyone can give them a try."
Li Chang'an only spent a few minutes introducing the seeds, and then began to introduce the vegetables he was going to sell that day.
Outside the live stream, some people just casually remarked after hearing it, while others silently took it to heart.
In the Xianshan Farm software, the page introducing new seeds is very eye-catching. The content is simple and straightforward, without any frills. The features are marked with eye-catching fonts and colors. After clicking, there is also a function to read the introduction aloud, striving to make it easy for everyone to understand.
Some people, after reviewing the seeds, immediately called their elders to apply for and receive the new seeds. Others reported it to the village, and the village head quickly notified everyone and led the villagers to learn about the new seeds…
After the Spring Festival, at the beginning of the new year, this batch of new seeds will be sown and sprout in the soil.
