Chapter 29: Thousand-Day Wine

This wine was like fruit wine. Leaving aside the spiritual liquid condensed from the essence of the sun and moon, the remaining taste didn't have a strong wine smell, but instead had the fragrance of fermented fruit, which subjectively made people feel very sweet.

"This is wine brewed by spirits and monsters in the mountain, mainly with kiwi fruit, and collecting strange plants and exotic fruits. It is called Thousand-Day Wine."

"Why is it called Thousand-Day Wine?"

"There is a legend of this Thousand-Day Wine in the village under the mountain." The old Daoist sitting cross-legged beside him said leisurely, "It is said that a woodcutter under the mountain went up the mountain to cut firewood and rested under a very large ancient tree on the mountain. He didn't intend to cut down this ancient tree, and couldn't cut it, he just didn't want to hold the firewood knife, so he chopped the knife on the tree, wanting to embed the knife in it. But he didn't expect that it wasn't solid inside, but instead kept seeping green fine wine. This wine originally had spiritual qi, and no matter who smelled the taste of this wine, they couldn't help it, so he took a sip and was drunk on the spot, waking up three years later."

The old Daoist paused as he spoke: "Later, the legend of Thousand-Day Wine spread under the mountain, but I didn't expect that the spirits and monsters in the mountain would really use this name."

"So it is such a Thousand-Day Wine."

Lin Jue couldn't help but be stunned. Fortunately, he didn't drink it.

"Do you have cultivation?"

"Back to the Daoist priest, I have learned the breathing method."

"Then remember to drink slowly when you drink, use the method of breathing and guiding you usually use, absorb the spiritual qi, introduce it into your body, and don't let it disperse freely." The old Daoist said, "This wine itself is not ordinary. Now that the Mountain Lord has added the essence of the sun and moon he collected, for ordinary people to drink, strengthening the body is just basic, and prolonging life is not a big deal. If it is an ordinary martial artist, most can go to the next level. If it is a Daoist practitioner, it can also be of no small benefit to the cultivation of qi and transformation of spirit at the beginning of Dao practice."

"Thank you for your guidance."

The old Daoist smiled slightly, didn't respond, and just turned his head to the girl beside him: "Drink less, just drink it, I will help you."

"Thank you, Master."

The girl also said, her attitude very respectful.

The sky darkened rapidly, the firelight illuminated a piece on the mountain top, the Thousand-Day Wine was distributed, and the Mountain Lord at the top had already raised his cup. There was no such thing as toasting anyone, just taking a sip first.

This was like a signal. The other spirits and monsters saw this and couldn't suppress the instincts and desires in their hearts, hurriedly lowered their heads, and used various different methods to drink the wine in the bamboo cups in one gulp. Some even swallowed the bamboo cup together with the wine liquid in one gulp, and didn't spit out anything.

Lin Jue was very gentle.

He picked up the bamboo cup, smelled it first, and felt the strange fragrance. It was a kind of comfort as if his nasal cavity to his chest and abdomen had been washed, and then he followed what the old Daoist said, only cautiously taking a small sip.

It was indeed sweet, with the fragrance of fruit, but it was not as sweet as it felt when smelled.

The wine taste was still not strong.

But immediately following it was a pure spiritual charm that melted in his body, as if it had become qi, filling every place from his mouth to his throat, all the way to his stomach, and had a feeling of dispersing everywhere.

"!"

What a pure spiritual charm.

Lin Jue was just an ordinary person who had just learned the breathing method and perceived the spiritual charm of heaven and earth to absorb the five qi of the four directions. He probably couldn't even talk about entering the door, but he had never seen such a spiritual charm.

No wonder those spirits and monsters were so obsessed with this.

However, at this time, Lin Jue didn't dare to have any thoughts of thinking too much. He followed what the old Daoist said, just like his usual meditation and breathing, took a deep breath, introduced it into his body, avoiding these spiritual charms from continuing to disperse and running out from the seven orifices and the pores on his body, and also storing them properly.

This kind of spiritual charm was different from the five qi that were ethereal and difficult to grasp. Lin Jue could clearly feel their existence.

"Tsk..."

Lin Jue took another sip.

Because the alcohol content was very low, and it could make people drunk for a thousand days and keep people alive for a thousand days, it probably couldn't be alcohol. Coupled with the fresh fruit flavor, so excluding the special spiritual charm it contained, the taste of this wine was still excellent.

At the same time, he already felt the gaze from all around.

Those were the spirits and monsters who had already finished drinking their Thousand-Day Wine. Seeing that he hadn't finished drinking, they couldn't help but cast their eyes over, and there was instinctual desire and greed in them.

With so many spirits and monsters, such an occasion, and when the sun had set, these gazes were enough to make people shudder. However, at this time, Lin Jue knew the Mountain Lord's deterrent power, so he wasn't afraid at all, and even felt that he had walked into the strange legends he had heard before. There was a bit more wonder in his heart, so tasting the Thousand-Day Wine was even more leisurely.

The Mountain Lord in front waved his hand, and macaques opened the wine jars again. What was inside was still Thousand-Day Wine, distributed to everyone to drink freely, but the essence of the sun and moon unique to the Mountain Lord was no longer added.

The sky was dim, the clouds burned into ashes, leaving only the dreamlike gradient colors on the horizon. It was difficult to describe the magnificence of this color, and on the top of this big mountain, the firewood pile was still burning, reflecting the shadows of many spirits and monsters, reflected in many different pupils.

The Mountain Lord took a few sips of wine and took out a book.

"This is the Yin-Yang Great Dao that I spent a lot of treasures to seek from Qiyun Mountain. It is just right for us spirits! You are all spirits formed because of yin and yang energy. With this object, if you can realize it, you don't have to rely on instinct to absorb yin and yang energy anymore! Most of you have known me for a long time, and you all know that I am a generous person. I take out all the good things to share with you. Besides, we spirits, sigh, have a hard time. Since you are all here today, I will take out the first chapter and let us study it together!"

Hearing this, many spirits and monsters couldn't hold their posture anymore, exposing their animal nature. Either they stretched their necks and stared tightly at his hands, or they were so anxious that they turned around in place and couldn't sit still, scratching their ears and cheeks.

"I will read it to you:

"Born with five qi, the earth bears yin and yang, day and night alternate, the four seasons cycle, all are the Dao of yin and yang...

"..."

"Yang is movement, yin is stillness, yang is hardness, yin is softness. Without yang, things cannot be formed; without yin, things cannot be born. Yin and yang interact, and all things grow and grow endlessly...

"..."

Many spirits and monsters opened their eyes, not knowing if they were reflecting the fire pile in the middle, or if they were bright from the beginning, staring straight at the Mountain Lord, not willing to blink.

Every spirit and monster was trying its best to listen carefully, and often there were spirits and monsters who were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks because they didn't understand, but they didn't dare to be distracted, didn't dare to forget every word, like the best students in the world.

So much so that there was no other noise on the mountain top except for the wind, the fire, and the Mountain Lord's chanting.

Lin Jue was in it, undoubtedly feeling the extreme love of learning from these spirits and monsters. That was an extreme yearning and thirst for knowledge and the Great Dao.

Naturally, Lin Jue also listened carefully.

This was talking about the Yin-Yang Great Dao.

That is, talking about the essence of the yin and yang qi of heaven and earth.

In just one chapter, the Mountain Lord finished reading it quickly.

Until the last word of his voice landed, the scene was still silent. The firewood in the fire pile was about to burn out, but no one went to add it. Many spirits and monsters sat motionless in place, waiting, thirsty for knowledge, and even after the Mountain Lord put down the scripture, they were unwilling to take back their gaze.

After a long time, perhaps realizing that there was really nothing behind, they lowered their heads reluctantly.

And all this was actually based on the fact that most of them didn't understand.

How many students in the human world under the mountain can compare to them?

Lin Jue felt a bit shocked in his heart for a while. ===== CHAPTER 30 =====
