The Growth of a Titan-Chapter 399- Immortal Wine’s Shocking Effects
Chapter 399: Chapter 399- Immortal Wine’s Shocking Effects
"Brother Sol, wouldn’t I have to taste the wine first to say how good it is?"
Byeong-ho asked while instinctively wiping away more saliva that flowed past his lips.
Sol laughed upon hearing this and didn’t keep Byeong-ho in suspense anymore.
He waved his hand and took out two small cups that looked to be made of green jade.
Byeong-ho glance at them, they were ordinary but with the dragon designs on them, they give off an imperial aura. As if they were cups that were only used by Sovereigns and Emperors.
It seemed like Sol was extremely particular when it came to matching the cups used with the quality of the wine.
Sol then waved his hand and dispersed the multicolored light that was emanating from the wine jar.
As Byeong-ho stirred in his seat, Sol carefully poured the wine so as to not accidentally spill a single drop.
Even though the multicolored light was dispersed, Sol kept up his barrier around them due to the strong scent of the wine.
One should know that this wine was created from the medicinal plants Sol had gotten from the Hundred Plants and Herbs Dimension.
In this lifetime, the one thing Sol strived for was strength. However, being a big foody, he would often have thoughts of how to use his current abilities to gain more delicious food!
While in seclusion, Sol used his short free time allocated to Alchemy to brew some wine. He used some of the Tier 9, Tier 8, and Tier 7 medicinal plants and herbs as main ingredients and a few Tier 5 and Tier 6 herbs as supplementary components.
It took him a few tries to get used to using high-tier medicinal plants but eventually got proficient in it as it wasn’t as difficult as actually concocting a pill from them.
This jar of wine was one of his first batches, where the high-tier medicinal plants lost some of their potency from not mixing well. However, despite that being the case, one could see how wonderous this brew of wine was.
This was due to the high-tier medicinal plants being high-tier. In the cultivation world, Tier 8 and Tier 9 herbs were at the pinnacle among medicinal plants.
Even for the Holy Sects and Great Clans at most, they would have a few dozen stalks, and even then, they wouldn’t dare use the entire thing. They would rather pick off a leaf or two to help with the process of refining Tier 6 or Tier 7 pills.
Who would be so extravagant as Sol to use several stalks of Tier 9 herbs? If the Holy Sects and Great Clans found out about this, they would be utterly stupefied.
However, Sol had gone through numerous trials and errors when brewing this wine, and he had felt his heart bleed a few times when several high-tier herbs were wasted.
The biggest headache he had was storing the wines after brewing them. He realized that normal containers simply couldn’t handle the effects of the wine. If the container didn’t shatter, then the aura of the wine would still seep out despite being sealed.
So, Sol had no choice but to use his Innate Ability to manipulate Worldly Laws to create wine jars and sealing paper after brewing each batch of wine.
It sounded extravagant to use his ability like this, but Sol took the experience as training, so it was worth it. Plus, with the nature of this wine, it might not be disgraceful to use his ability to create containers for it.
After Sol poured Byeong-ho’s cup of wine, Byeong-ho didn’t hesitate to pick it up and put it to his lips.
However, despite his eagerness, Byeong-ho didn’t dare gulp it all down, he only took a sip.
After he took that sip, his eyes became filled with surprise, admiration, and envy.
This wine was simply too astonishing.
After entering his body, the wine transformed into a green heavenly dragon made of pure Wood Aether energy before rushing through his meridians toward his Mortal Palace.
Upon reaching his Mortal Palace, it was then converted into pink Sword Energy by his Innate Dharma before moving up toward his Energy Core/Spiritual Palace.
It wasn’t surprising that cultivators could absorb different elements and convert them into their own to cultivate. After all, all the elements were connected, they were Fundamental Energies and signified balance.
However, unless one has to, they wouldn’t go out of their way to cultivate like this. It was too time-consuming to slowly convert a foreign element into one’s own and absorb it. it might even cause massive problems if it is done carelessly.
However, this wine was too miraculous. Byeong-ho was a Sword Cultivator so in the Spiritual Realm he cultivated by transforming Aether Energy into Sword Aether.
This was a natural process unlike converting one element into another, but it still took a bit of time to accumulate Aether Energy, convert it into Sword Energy, and slowly open his Spiritual Palace.
However, this wine completely bypassed that step of conversion because it contained extremely pure Wood Aether. It might as well be Life Essence, a type of Universal Energy that wouldn’t cause any problems when mixed with any other element.
However, as Byeong-ho admired the nature of this wine and thought this was a cultivation treasure worth going to war for, his pupils constricted when he sensed a type of strange energy flowing toward his flesh and bones to nourish them.
"This... This is..."
Byeong-ho was so shocked he didn’t know what to say, he could only stare at the cup of wine in his hand.
Was this truly Immortal Wine?
Byeong-ho felt that as long as he continued drinking this wine on a day-to-day basis, not only would his cultivation progress more smoothly, but his physical body would improve over time.
Byeong-ho also noticed another aspect of this wine, in that the effects were too natural. Meaning, it was unlike medicinal pills that would leave a bit of impurity inside one’s body after consuming too many and leave behind hiding dangers in the future.
Byeong-ho’s mind reeled, and his body trembled uncontrollably, he realized he was holding a precious treasure so he used both hands to carefully hold it so as not to spill any.
No wonder Sol was being so careful when taking it out and pouring it.
If this cup alone was to be auctioned off, no cultivator in the Spiritual Realm would be able to sit still. Even those cultivators in the Mortal Realm’s eyes would go red as this cup might allow them to open multiple acupoints in one cultivation sitting.
However, this wasn’t even the end of Byeong-ho’s shock.
Holding the cup with both hands, Byeong-ho carefully took another sip, even liking his lips to not leave any residue on them.
It was with this second sip that he realized that a portion of those Earthly laws and Fiery laws had seeped into the wine.
Strange archaic symbols appeared in his sea of consciousness and with a glance, Byeong-ho knew that if he were cultivating a Fire-type or Earth-type Martial Skill or Spell, these would improve his comprehension by leap and bounds.
Byeong-ho’s mind completely went blank, unable to handle how valuable this wine was. Forget cultivators in the Spiritual Realm, even the Sect Leaders and Clan Leader of the Holy Sects and Great Clans would fight over this cup of wine, much less this entire jar.
Soon Byeong-ho came out of his shock state to glance at the jar of wine and the red paper that was placed to the side.
He realized the jar had been created to mimic a world. The wine was like a tree that was taking root inside the jar made of Earthly Laws, while the red paper above was to provide warmth to the tree.
With this, Byeong-ho knew this wine would be even more valuable if it was preserved for a few tens of years, the longer the better.
Byeong-ho tactfully didn’t ask Sol about the creation of this wine, rather he drank it in silence along with him.
Later into the night, the two youths’ faces were slightly flushed, and they could feel a burning sensation in their throats and stomachs due to the bit of Firey Laws within the wine.
However, their spirits were high, and Sol continued to pour them wine as they drank one cup after another. freёwebnoѵel.com
Nearing the end of this drunken stint, Sol broke the silence between them and asked.
"Brother Byeong-ho, have you heard from Cheong-Su and Cheong-San?"
Sol had asked Mar-Dule before and heard that they left the Academy, but he figured Byeong-ho might know more as they were sworn brothers.
Indeed, Byeong-ho nodded and responded after a hiccup.
"They left the Academy and met up with Dae Han to roam the outer regions of Jianghu for training."
Hearing that, Sol was a bit worried, he had heard that the outer regions of Jianghu were filled with vicious Spirit Beasts.
However, Byeong-ho said reassuringly.
"They’re doing fine, the last I heard from them they’ve traveled to the edges of the Demonic Forest and stopped in Sky Fall City."
