Chapter 1166: Wine Stored in the Tree Hollow
in." Lu Xiaoteng's just strike didn't affect Luo Zhongting at all, causing him to be secretly shocked.“Little one, I spare Lu Xiaoyou out of old feelings. You dare glare at this old man Do you think I...“Well, let’s just drop it. She just fought with me a while ago. As for the Dao Companion thing, I haven't considered it yet.” Lu Xiaoteng couldn't help but feel a bit speechless. When did Xiang Kuang, that combative fellow, start caring about other people's matchmaking But from Xiang Kuang’s tone, it could be heard that he treated Xiang Qingcheng differently than ordinary people. Fortunately, the fight between himself and Xiang Qingcheng just now ended in time. If they had gone further, Xiang Kuang would probably have intervened.
"Well, everyone has their own fortune and destiny. If you don't want to, then forget it." Xiang Kuang didn't say much about it.
"By the way, what were those two women from Xiang Qingcheng doing in the Black Prison earlier" Lu Xia Tian asked again.
“I’m not sure, I heard they wanted to take materials from a demonic cultivator. I didn’t ask for specifics.” Xiang Kuang waved his hand. “You already fought with Qingcheng today, I won’t fight you either. Rest up, we’ll spar again later.”
It seems that this Dark Prison serves more than just imprisoning high-ranking cultivators and demon cultivators, and providing the royal family with whetstones. There are other functions as well. Lu Xia Tian was about to return to his cave abode to cultivate and recover his mana spent in the recent battle, when suddenly the Lingxi conch shell within his Sumeru ring moved.
"Master, the Xiaji couple has brewed a kind of spirit wine that seems to have some effect. Master, if you have time, you might as well come and try it." Within the Lingxi Conch, Yu Ya's voice rang out.
"I'll go then." Lu XiaTian replied, then said a word to Xiang Kuang, and walked straight out of the Black Prison.
The content inside is just a closing paragraph tag "
". So the translated result is:
The familiar Xiaoyuan appeared before his eyes, and with a flash of inspiration, Lu Xiaotian had already landed in this small courtyard that faintly smelled of spiritual wine.
"Master!" Yu Ya excitedly greeted him, glancing at Xia Ji and Dou Lihua standing beside him. Before they arrived, she was quite displeased with them. The peaceful garden had been turned into a place filled with the smell of alcohol. Yu Ya wasn't particularly fond of alcohol herself, so after smelling it for too long, she naturally disliked it. However, over the past two years, Lu Xia Tian spent most of his time outside. Except for occasionally receiving objects that Lu Xia Tian found interesting, or capturing spirit essences from powerful monsters, Lu Xia Tian would only return to retrieve things. At other times, his figure was almost nowhere to be seen.
However, Xia Ji and the other managed to brew a spirit wine suitable for Yuan Ying cultivators, which surprisingly brought Lu Xiaotian back. Yu Ya thought that these two were actually quite useful. If there was no lead, her master probably wouldn't appear so readily.
Lu Xia Tian nodded, then looked at Xia Ji and Dou Li Hua. “What kind of spirit wine did you two prepare What effect does it have on Yuan Ying cultivators”
"As for this, I'd have to ask the seniors. This wine is too potent, and my junior self and my companion are of too low a cultivation level. We merely smelled it once, and our internal energy nearly went haywire. We dare not even try it," Xia Ji said truthfully.
"Oh" Lu Xia Tian was quite surprised. Although these two people's cultivation realms weren't high, they had at least reached the late stage of Qi Foundation Establishment. Just by smelling it, they had such an effect. They were indeed not simple.
Yu Ya xin took out a fiery red wine sack. It looked like it was made of wood, but the texture was soft with a hint of hardness, radiating a violent aura.
"A wine pouch made from the wood of a fire-ox tree that is over a thousand years old," Lu Xia Tian was somewhat surprised. Ordinary spiritual wine was usually stored in jade vessels, but this wine pouch was made from spiritwood, which was quite rare.
“This junior has reviewed all of the ancestral recipes for spirit wine and conducted dozens of attempts, failing many methods along the way. This pot of wine is made with a monkey wine recipe. Legend has it that there was once a powerful tribe of fierce monkeys on the Chiyan Continent whose members were skilled at brewing monkey wine, also known as monkey liquor. Ancestor heard countless stories and obtained this spirit wine recipe from a human cultivator who had saved several fierce monkeys. Although he tried to brew it using their method, he couldn't quite get it right. This junior also failed numerous times before referencing the Fierce Monkey tribe’s wine-storage methods and adding a secret spirit wine starter, finally producing this wine.”
As for the Fierce Monkey Tribe, Lu Xia Tian had also seen it in an ancient book before. It was said that this tribe was fierce and liked to drink. Their monkey wine was unparalleled, and they were accustomed to storing their spirit wine inside the Fire Rhinoceros tree's cave. Day after day, year after year, they absorbed the spiritual power of the Fire Rhinoceros tree and gathered the essence of the earth.
Xia Ji never dared to imagine using this thousand-year-old fire rhinoceros wood to make a wine pouch before. With his status and position, he definitely wouldn't be able to obtain such a precious spirit wood without Yu Ya's help.
"Have you ever tried it" Lu XiaTian asked Yu Ya.
“I’ve tried it. I only drank a few sips, and my inner energy felt much more active. However, my soul isn't strong enough, so after just a little, I started feeling dizzy. I didn't dare drink more. Master, your divine sense is incredibly powerful, you must be able to experience it more deeply.” Yu Ya nodded.
"Oh This wine is surprisingly potent" Lu Xiaotian's interest piqued. He opened the wineskin and gave it a slight sniff. With his alchemy skills, he had come across countless spiritual materials. Even just a whiff was enough for him to roughly identify those used within. Without further thought, Lu Xiaotian chugged down several mouthfuls.
The liquor went down his throat, and for a moment, there seemed to be a wild and unrestrained energy exploding from within him, making him feel like he had to vomit. His inner Qi was indeed more active than before, the spiritual wine's potency being absorbed rapidly by his body. This surge of activity soon began to subside. It didn't seem to have any negative effects on him.
"It seems the amount is still not enough." Lu Xia Tian directly raised the wine flask, and as more spirit wine was poured into his stomach, his belly felt like it was wrapped in a raging fire, reaching a point where he had to vomit.
“Good wine, and the effect is not bad either.” This fiery liquor was not merely delicious, sweet, and refreshing. It was like fire burning down one's throat, a kind of exhilaration that left one feeling pleasantly drunk. It added a touch of unrestrained wildness to one's demeanor, of course, this was based on Lu Xiaoteng’s strong primordial spirit. At least at this time, Yu Ya saw Lu Xiaoteng drinking like this, her eyes widened in astonishment. If it were her, she would probably have been already blurry-eyed and completely drunk. But the host seemed to be no different from ordinary people, except that he had an extra aura of wildness about him.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoteng's internal force was surging, and he felt a strong urge to make a move. He secretly pondered that after returning to the Black Prison, he would challenge Xiang Kuang again with his magical powers, and test this wine's effectiveness in combat. However, these people in front of him couldn't withstand his attack.
"These past few years have wasted countless spiritual essences from the predecessors, but I've finally achieved some success. This Fierce Monkey Wine, if conditions permit, would be even more effective stored in a growing Fire Rhinoceros Wood. The older the Fire Rhinoceros Wood, the better. Unfortunately, the current conditions are insufficient, so I can only use a wine barrel and altar made of Fire Rhinoceros Wood to store this wine, which reduces its effectiveness." Xia Ji's face showed regret. As a spirit brewer, he couldn't bring the spirit wine to its peak, which felt somewhat flawed to him.
“According to reason, this Fierce Monkey Wine should be aged for several months before having such a strong alcoholic content. You've only been here in the garden for over two years, and you were able to brew this wine. It must be due to the effects of your Spirit Wine Qu,” Lu Xia Tian said with great interest. This method that can shorten the Spirit Wine's aging period while achieving its purpose is truly miraculous.” and Lu Xiaoteng destroyed their physical bodies, and their souls were also injured to some extent. The hatred between the two sides deepened, and it was almost impossible to resolve peacefully. Qin R...
