"How could this wine have any flaws? This wine comes from the Wine God Palace. Long Chen, don't talk nonsense! Yu Qingxuan kindly reminded him.
Even if she was innocent, she could sense that something was off in the atmosphere. These people were clearly setting a trap for Long Chen.
The wine from the Wine God Palace is a divine brew that is priceless. In this world, no one has dared to say the wine is bad. If Long Chen did, and got caught on the ground, that would be bad.
Long Chen smiled slightly and said, "In this world, nothing is perfect, let alone wine."
The biggest drawback of this pear blossom brew is that it uses rootless water during brewing. "
What is rootless water?" Yu Qingxuan couldn't help but ask.
"Rootless water is rainwater, and it is rainwater naturally condensed from a pure place, without any impurities.
Rootless water is the most commonly used water in tea and drinking ceremonies, and it is also pure water. It is collected directly from the air, so it is not restricted by the five natures and does not alter the original flavor of the wine or tea.
However, using it to brew Lihua Wine is somewhat inappropriate; using morning dew instead, it might be better. Long Chen said with a smile.
"There's so much knowledge in the drinking world—truly impressive." Yu Qingxuan said.
"There are countless kinds of water in the Way of Wine, not to mention the endless techniques of brewing. The Way of Wine is the Great Dao, and its subtlety is akin to the wonders of alchemy." Long Chen said.
"You actually understand alchemy?" Yu Qingxuan exclaimed in surprise.
"I only know a little." Long Chen smiled humbly.
"To dare claim to know a little in front of Fairy Qingxuan, we truly admire your courage. Do you know that Fairy Qingxuan's alchemical skills are peerless? She is the only person in the history of Ziyan Heaven to have refined a supreme golden core while at the Divine Lord Realm." As soon as Long Chen spoke, everyone burst into laughter.
It turned out that Fairy Qingxuan's greatest strength lay in her alchemy skills. Long Chen dared to mention alchemy in front of her, and everyone immediately found it amusing.
"A supreme Golden Core?" Doesn't that mean you've reached the state where your soul returns to nothingness, your mind guarding the universe? Long Chen was also shocked, looking at Yu Qingxuan in disbelief.
The so-called 'soul returns to nothingness, intent guards the universe' is a term in alchemists, referring to a person's spiritual power reaching the level where they can see through the essence of all paths, reaching a level many people cannot imagine.
Only when one's spiritual realm reaches such a state can one possibly refine a Golden Core, and Long Chen hasn't reached that level yet.
Moreover, the supreme pill refers to the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, where there is only one such pill; there will never be a second one.
Pills in the Immortal Realm are divided into five grades: low, medium, high, supreme, and supreme. Within these five grades, there are also three types of pills: spiritual pills, treasure pills, and golden pills.
Ninety-nine percent of the pills sold on the market are spiritual pills, while treasure pills are extremely rare. As for golden pills, even Long Chen has never seen them.
After looting so many of Longteng Trading Company's treasuries, not a single Golden Core was found, which shows just how rare Golden Core is.
Long Chen's spiritual realm was insufficient; he simply couldn't refine a golden core. As for a supreme golden core, almost no one had ever seen it, because it was the only existence in the world. It was said that the heavenly Dao was inherently inherited and would not allow two supreme golden cores to appear in the world at the same time.
If one person refines a supreme golden core, and another place in the world has a similar supreme golden core, then one of the two will inevitably be destroyed by the Heavenly Dao. Because it is unique, it is called a supreme grade.
A supreme pill must be at the Golden Core level, and to refine a supreme Golden Core, besides superb alchemy techniques and powerful soul power, one also needs spiritual power to control the Heavenly Dao, plus about ninety percent luck, to refine a supreme golden core.
So, Long Chen was truly shocked. He hadn't expected that in this life, Dan Fairy would still be the Dan Fairy, and her alchemy skills would remain so formidable.
"You know that the soul returns to nothingness, and the mind guards the universe. That means you're also an alchemy expert—not just a little knowledge!" Yu Qingxuan was also shocked.
"No, no, no, I'm not being modest. I really only know a little about alchemy, after all, alchemy is just my side job." Long Chen said with a smile.
"Then what is your main job?" Yu Qingxuan asked curiously.
"My main job is robbery." Long Chen said shyly.
"Liar!"
Yu Qingxuan couldn't help but giggle, not believing Long Chen at all.
Feng Xiang and the others had thought they had finally seized an opportunity to mock Long Chen, but it turned out that Long Chen really could refine pills. For a moment, they were all stunned—were they trying to highlight Long Chen?
Especially when they saw Yu Qingxuan's smile, her eyes fixed on Long Chen, they felt even more uncomfortable inside.
Feng Xiang exchanged glances with the others and snapped his fingers. At that moment, a maid brought out exquisite golden small plates. Upon opening the plate, they found a bird's nest about the size of a baby's fist.
The bird's nest was blood-red, thick and sticky, with tiny patterns on it, radiating intense flames as if on fire.
"Fairy Qingxuan, this is the finest golden-threaded blood swallow's nest. It's truly top-quality, containing Heavenly Dao runes. You must try it." Feng Xiang said.
The bird's nest looked very beautiful. Yu Qingxuan was delighted to see it, smiled brightly, and expressed her gratitude to Feng Xiang. No matter what, Feng Xiang's kindness was something he should be grateful for.
Yu Qingxuan smiled, and Feng Xiang was instantly delighted. He felt he had finally regained his word, and couldn't help but look at Long Chen and say, "
You should try it too. This thing is so precious—ordinary people might never even see one in their lifetime."
To be honest, if it weren't for Fairy Qingxuan, I wouldn't have dared to give it to strangers. However
, Long Chen glanced at the bird's nest in his bowl and showed no intention of moving. Yu Qingxuan picked up the bird's nest and saw Long Chen was unmoved, so she couldn't help but ask, "
What's wrong?"
"Don't eat it, or you'll regret it." Long Chen shook his head.
"You..."
Feng Xiang was furious. He had always disliked Long Chen, and now Long Chen was actually advising Yu Qingxuan not to eat—clearly targeting him on purpose.
When challenging Long Chen, he and the others had always been at a disadvantage. Now, finally having a treasure that could move Fairy Qingxuan, Long Chen's words made him furious.
Yu Qingxuan was stunned, not understanding Long Chen's meaning, but in the end, she slowly put down the bird's nest and looked at Long Chen, hoping he would continue.
"Long Chen, you're going too far. Brother Fengxiang is so thoughtful in treating everyone, which shows how generous he is.
And you constantly oppose Brother Fengxiang. What's your intention? Even a dog would wag its tail in gratitude after eating someone else's food. But what about you? Zhao Mingxuan stood up directly, pointing at Long Chen and cursing.
"If you want to wag your tail, just wag your tail. I'm not a dog, what business do you have of mine?" Long Chen said disdainfully.
"You..."
Long Chen's words were like offending the group. Murderous intent surged up among them, staring intently at Long Chen.
"Long Chen, what exactly is going on?" Why won't you let me eat this bird's nest? Is it harmful? Yu Qingxuan hurriedly asked, trying to distract everyone.
"Yes, harmful."
Long Chen nodded, and Feng Xiang's face immediately darkened, as if he wanted to bite Long Chen to death. The two Realm Kings also looked at Long Chen in astonishment.
