These past few days, Jiang Yunnuan and Xin Jinrui had been busy upgrading the spirit sword.
Although Mu Shiyue made it sound simple, actually carrying it out took quite a bit of time.
Mo Ye Flow Crystal Stone and Dian Canghe Crystal Stone were both very hard materials. If Jiang Yunnuan was stronger, it wouldn't be so troublesome.
But there's no helping it, she's only a beginner artifact refiner right now.
So she could only spend some more time slowly processing these two materials bit by bit.
And besides coordinating with Jiang Yunnuan, Xin Jinrui also had to cultivate and cook for master. His life was very rich and fulfilling, with no time to think about anything else.
After several days, they finally processed both materials and carefully fused them in.
The process was a bit dangerous, but with Mu Shiyue's help, there were no mishaps.
Looking at the natal spirit sword that surpassed its previous state in every aspect, Xin Jinrui could feel that his strength had increased by a small realm.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he immediately rode his sword toward the back mountain.
After quite some time, he returned, his face full of excitement and joy.
"How is it? Did it work?" Jiang Yunnuan was also very nervous.
This was her first time doing something like this.
Upgrading an already formed spirit sword wasn't easy at all!
"Very good!" Xin Jinrui happily stroked his spirit sword, the smile on his lips never fading.
He had just tested the sword.
The results were excellent, he was very satisfied.
After the upgrade, its attack power was much stronger than before.
In the past, it might take several strikes to break a stone. Now, a single strike could shatter it.
This feeling was too good!
Moreover, he could feel that his connection with the spirit sword had grown stronger.
"That's great!" Jiang Yunnuan also clenched her fists happily and jumped in celebration.
"Now we can settle accounts with that guy from Myriad Beast Sect—" Xin Jinrui suddenly stopped, because he smelled an extremely rich wine fragrance.
This fragrance was very strong and aromatic, richer than any wine they had smelled before.
The two exchanged a glance, their eyes lighting up.
"Did it succeed?!"
They didn't bother with anything else and immediately ran excitedly toward the back.
In the backyard, besides Mu Shiyue and the others, all of the spirit beasts, and even the monkey king, were present.
Knowing that the jar would be opened today, the monkey king had come very early.
It didn't take the usual path, instead leaping down from the roof and suddenly appearing before everyone.
Everyone was already used to its unpredictable appearances.
Now, looking at the unsealed wine jar and smelling the rich, sweet fragrance, the monkey king's eyes shone brightly.
"So fragrant! Even more fragrant than the previous monkey wine!"
"Master is too amazing! She actually brewed it!"
"Master is too incredible!"
Everyone was completely convinced by Mu Shiyue's actions.
As expected of master, she really was omnipotent!
Previously, after sealing the jar, Mu Shiyue had Qin Yiwei and Jiang Yunnuan heat it with fire.
No one understood why she wanted to do this, but since master said so, they did it.
After heating, she had Chu Jingzhuo cool it down.
With this repeated cycle of heating and cooling, everyone was afraid the contents would spoil.
But unexpectedly, the final product was actually this good!
Even without tasting it, they were already salivating.
It must be even better than monkey wine!
Ke Chongbo's eyes were full of admiration and worship.
As expected, Master Mu was the strongest!
It was just a pity that Master Mu wasn't willing to take another disciple.
Otherwise, he would have knelt on the spot to become her disciple!
"Wooo!" The monkey king was also very delighted.
This smell alone was already excellent!
Previously, it was worried whether Mu Shiyue could brew good wine, but with so many fierce spirit beasts on the other side, what could it say?
It could only take a step back.
Anyway, it already had a plan, if Mu Shiyue wasn't able to brew good wine, it would… it would make her brew more!
If she refuses, then don't blame it for setting traps for them.
Direct confrontation might not work, but it still had some skill in scheming.
Fortunately, Mu Shiyue succeeded!
Smelling this rich and mellow fragrance, the monkey king was overjoyed, wishing to drink to its heart's content immediately.
"Master, can we drink it now?" The disciples also stared eagerly at Mu Shiyue.
Meanwhile, Mu Shiyue circled the vat, admiring it for quite a while.
She wanted to applaud herself, she really was a genius!
She had actually brewed such good wine!
Even without tasting it, the aroma alone was outstanding.
This was only her second time brewing wine, and the result was already this amazing!
Previously, she had even thought that if it failed, she would have Hu Niu take the disciples into Myriad Beast Forest to gather fruits.
Although the Myriad Beast Forest was like the monkeys' backyard, and they had eaten many types of fruits, the monkey's strength couldn't be considered as strong, there were still places they couldn't reach.
Hu Niu was a fifth-rank spirit beast, after raising it for so long, it was time to put it to work!
And add Da Yanzi as well.
With Hu Niu and Da Yanzi leading the disciples, they could explore new areas and find more fruits.
With enough fruits, they could satisfy the monkeys.
After all, the disciples needed to go out for training too.
But unexpectedly, none of these plans were needed!
The more she thought about it, the happier she became. She put her hands on her hips and laughed loudly.
After laughing, she picked up a ladle and began distributing wine to the waiting disciples and spirit beasts.
The monkey king pushed to the front of the line.
If not for Hu Niu glaring nearby, it might have already rushed forward.
As a monkey that frequently drank wine, it's love for wine runs deep.
"No need to rush, one by one."
After receiving the wine, the monkey king darted aside and poured it into its mouth.
As the liquid went down its throat, the spicy, mellow flavor burst in its mouth, and its eyes lit up instantly.
"Wooo!" Delicious!
"Delicious! Too Delicious!"
"So good, it's no worse than monkey wine at all!"
Everyone else also praised loudly.
This was unbelievably delicious!
"Master, you're too amazing! You really are a peerless genius!"
Everyone kept showering Mu Shiyue with praise.
She was also very pleased by the complements.
Brewing wine gave her even more of a sense of achievement than roasting tea before.
And indeed, the taste was really excellent!
"Too delicious!"
"The spiritual qi is so rich! Amazing!"
"Hmm… why does it feel a bit numb?"
"I feel like I'm floating~ so comfortable~"
"Eh, Eldest Senior Brother, why do you have two heads?"
"Wow, there are so many spirit stones here! I'm going to pick them up!"
"Third Senior Sister, watch out, there's a bug trying to bite you!"
"Awuu!"
"Yingying!"
Mu Shiyue was still immersed in her own geniusness when she suddenly realized something was wrong.
The several disciples were swaying together.
The spirit beasts were also tangled up fighting.
In just a few breaths, everything turned into chaos, Mu Shiyue was dumbfounded.
When she saw Chu Jingzhuo spinning in circles and laughing foolishly, she suddenly remembered—
—She seems to have added some mushrooms during brewing!
Were they hallucinating?
Just as the thought appeared, Xin Jinrui drew his newly upgraded spirit sword and slashed fiercely at a spot.
Boom!
The house directly split open.
Mu Shiyue: "..."
