Chapter 41 Brewing
Chapter 41 Brewing
From Gu Qianbei knocking the wine jar away, to the sparks raining down like a sea, to the fiery golden dragon killing the two elders, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
The stunning scene before them left everyone at the inn speechless.
Good news, they survived.
Bad news: the inn's lobby looks like it's been on fire.
"My century-old floorboards, century-old tables and chairs."
Tong Xiangyu instinctively cried out about her losses, to which Bai Zhantang retorted, "You old miser. Compared to your life, what is this?"
Guo Furong excitedly ran to Gu Qian's cup noodles.
"Manager Gu! Was that the 'Regretful Dragon' strike you just used? The Beggars' Sect's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms? When did you learn it? Wow, what a cool strike!"
It seems that excitement has completely overwhelmed the fear from before.
Gu Qianbei nodded slightly, but his attention was focused on the corpses of the two elders, Jin and Yin.
Their bodies were charred, but golden and silver wisps of steam were still rising from their slightly open mouths.
Upon seeing this, Gu Qianbei immediately cast the Golden Light Spell, enveloping the gold and silver mist to form two golden orbs.
If he hadn't already mastered the Golden Light Mantra, this kind of operation would have been truly difficult.
"Old Bai, what's the origin of these gold and silver mists? They're so powerful, they can even be released after someone dies?"
Gu Qianbei looked at Bai Zhantang with curiosity.
"As far as I know, this Golden and Silver Soul-Severing Mist is a poisonous technique cultivated by the Golden and Silver Elders, which is also the origin of their nickname."
Practicing this poison technique will generate golden and silver mists within the body. Since these mists are stored in the human body, they are not inherently poisonous.
When it is used, the mist will emerge from the mouth when the internal force is activated.
When the two are mixed, they become a deadly poison.
It is said that even a grandmaster might not be able to withstand the power of such cultivation.
That really scared me.
I didn't expect you to be so quick-witted; you figured out a solution right away.
While explaining, Bai Zhantang was also secretly relieved.
The entire Tongfu Inn almost went bankrupt just now.
"I see. In that case, the Golden and Silver Soul-Severing Mist is indeed a powerful weapon."
"Old Bai, you handle the body. I'll deal with the poison."
As Gu Qianbei spoke, he collected all the deadly scorpions, soul-chasing bees, five-step snakes, and various poisonous insects from the ground and returned to Qianchou Si.
The aftermath was left to Tongfu Inn.
He can't wait to take these things back and use them to make wine.
"Why are you in such a hurry, Manager Gu?"
Guo Furong asked in confusion.
"They must be in a hurry to deal with the Gold and Silver Soul-Severing Mist they have, right? This stuff can be deadly if it spreads."
Bai Zhantang guessed.
"That makes sense. But Manager Gu was really cool just now. Old Bai, why were you such a coward? You didn't even lift a finger."
Guo Furong couldn't help but complain.
"I'm the grand finale, aren't I?"
"Could it be that you're too scared to move because your legs are too weak?"
"How could that be!"
As the two were arguing, Tong Xiangyu stepped forward and said, "Xiao Guo, stop arguing. Go and call Lao Xing over. Let's see if we can exchange these corpses for a reward to recover some of our losses."
Otherwise, the money lost this time will be deducted from your wages!
"Hey, hey, hey, why should I?"
Guo Furong expressed her dissatisfaction.
"Isn't all this trouble your fault? Otherwise, would everyone be in such danger?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Furong scratched her head awkwardly, realizing she had no other choice but to slink away and go find Constable Xing.
The words are divided into two parts.
Gu Qianbei, back at Qianchousi Si, is brewing the Three Poisons Tempering Wine.
"The deadly scorpion, the soul-chasing bee, and the five-step snake are all highly venomous creatures, and these three can be counted as the three poisons."
However, these poisonous insects are not bad either, so we can't waste them.
But the most precious thing is this golden and silver soul-severing mist.
Although the Three Poisons Tempering Wine contains three kinds of poisons, three is not a fixed number, and adding more should not be a problem.
After all, the recipe says that the more potent the toxicity, the higher the quality of the final wine.
"At worst, we can just change the Three Poisons Tempering Wine to Five Poisons Tempering Wine."
Gu Qianbei muttered to himself, leaving behind a little bit of the Gold and Silver Soul-Severing Mist, and then threw the rest of the poison into the wine jar.
It contains a base of liquor made from thousand-year-old pine resin, which is ready to be brewed once poison is introduced.
"Everything is ready. All that is needed is to boil it with pure yang fire for half a month, and it will become wine."
The so-called pure yang fire is the infusion of pure yang internal energy into the flame.
My Golden Light Mantra is precisely of pure Yang power.
Gu Qianbei acted immediately upon thinking of it, lighting a flame beneath the wine jar and channeling the power of the Golden Light Spell into it.
"If I retain all my internal energy at once, it can sustain the pure yang fire for about twelve hours. In other words, as long as I keep the firewood burning and inject internal energy once a day, I can brew this wine in half a month."
Gu Qianbei looked at the raging flames in front of him with a satisfied expression.
These data were obtained from his previous experiments, so he wasn't worried about any oversights.
He then drank a pot of Dragon Tiger Wine to replenish his depleted internal energy.
"I wonder what kind of surprise this Five Poisons Tempering Wine will bring me."
Gu Qianbei was full of anticipation.
However, the current crisis has not been completely resolved.
"Among the five masters, there is Shangguan Yundun. He is the most troublesome and dangerous character."
In the original story, Walter White's sneak attack failed to hit him, which shows his strength.
However, it is also said that he was prepared and wore soft armor, which is why he was not hit in the pressure points.
But no matter what, this person is a formidable enemy.
Old Bai's strength broke through to the late stage of the Innate Realm after drinking Sunflower Sunflower Brew, making him stronger than in the original storyline at the same time. It's unknown whether he has a chance of winning against Shangguan Yundun.
Just to be on the safe side, I need to make some preparations.
Thinking this, Gu Qianbei looked at the small wisp of golden and silver soul-severing mist that he had specially left behind.
"Let's prepare a surprise for Shangguan Yundun."
evening.
Guo Furong brought the food to Qianchou Si.
"Manager Gu, haven't you eaten yet? Big Mouth made some food, it tastes pretty good, I brought it over to you."
Guo Furong placed the food on the table with a smile and looked at Gu Qianbei gratefully.
"Ding, Guo Furong's martial arts aura has been detected - Gratitude, now absorbed. Can be infused with Jade Lotus Dew to enhance its quality."
Gu Qianbei, who had been feeling rather lazy, immediately perked up upon hearing the voice.
This was the second time he had heard the system mention the spirit of martial arts.
grateful?
Does this refer to Guo Furong's current state?
Or is it that my relationship with Guo Furong has become so good that it triggered this reward?
Gu Qianbei hasn't figured out the pattern yet, but this is still a good thing.
"Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness."
Gu Qianbei said with a genuine smile.
"You're welcome! I should be the one thanking you. If it weren't for you, we would probably be in grave danger today."
If it were just me, it wouldn't be so bad, but I feel really bad for dragging everyone down with me.
Guo Furong said, looking guilty.
