It was impossible for the Six Saints Ascending Heavenly Wine to be renamed as the Two Saints Ascending Heavenly Wine, Zhang Ruochen didn’t have the thick skin of a wine madman.
However, even if one obtained the recipe for the Six Saints Ascending Heavenly Wine, it was true that one needed a Patriarch who was proficient in the Way of Wine to be able to brew it.
The wine madman claimed that he was the wine brewing patriarch, Zhang Ruochen believed him for the time being, after all, this old guy did have a lot of research on wine, so it was not necessarily true that he was really a wine brewing master.
Anyway, the Mercury Gourd and the recipe were in Zhang Ruochen’s hands, so he would wait until he left the Sea of Yin and Yang, and let the wine madman try it out first.
If, however, the wine madman couldn’t brew it, it wouldn’t be too late to find another wine dao master.
“It is said that the Mercury Gourd’s body is as huge as a star, and the space inside must be quite vast.”
Zhang Ruochen stared at the mouth of the gourd and closed his eyes, and then, a Holy Soul Force escaped and condensed a metre-sized silhouette in front of him.
That was a Holy Soul Split, possessing the same wisdom and knowledge as Zhang Ruochen, as well as some of the power of his own body.
In fact, with Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation realm, even if it was the main body, it could be shrunk to the size of a grain of rice.
Only, Zhang Ruochen didn’t know the exact environment inside the Mercury Gourd right now, so naturally, he didn’t dare to rush in with his own body.
“Old me will also go in and take a look.”
The Wine Crazy Man also condensed out a Holy Soul Split, transforming into a speck of light, and flew into into the mouth of the gourd right behind Zhang Ruochen.
Entering the gourd, immediately, the thick Water Spirit Holy Qi poured out as if it was a white cloud.
“What a cultivation treasure, cultivating inside the gourd is comparable to cultivating on top of the Undead Ancient Ship, and one can achieve ten times the usual cultivation speed.”
Zhang Ruochen could feel that a Water Spirit Holy Qi was constantly drilling into his body, nourishing his physical body and at the same time, making the Holy Qi in the Sea of Qi become thicker and thicker.
That feeling was indescribably soothing.
Suddenly, the Water Spirit Sacred Qi became incomparably chaotic, and densely-packed lightning appeared, accompanied by ear-splitting thunder, filled with a huge crisis.
Zhang Ruochen’s strain speed was extremely fast, his body shape constantly changing, and he soon passed through that lightning area and continued to fly forwards, and after an unknown amount of time, he finally landed on top of a small island built out of jade.
This was a lake that was more than 800 miles long, and the liquid in the lake was not water, but Water Spirit Holy Liquid. Those Water Spirit Holy Qi was evaporated from inside this lake.
The Wine Crazy Man’s Sacred Soul Split, descending from the sky, landed on top of the small island and sighed, “The Water Spirit Holy Liquid is surprisingly only this little bit left.”
Zhang Ruochen looked at the lake at his feet that could not be seen at a glance, he had long been too shocked to speak, but he did not expect the wine madman to come up with such a sentence, and somewhat speechlessly said, “A little bit …… This is still just a little bit? This is a large lake of water spirit holy liquid!”
The wine madman said, “Legend has it that among the Mercury gourds that were just picked, they were filled with Water Spirit Holy Liquid, more than a thousand times more than the Water Spirit Holy Liquid that you see in front of you.”
“From the medieval period, it has been preserved until now, and to still have so much Water Spirit Holy Liquid left over is already quite remarkable. Right now, the Water Spirit Sacred Liquid in the martial market and the black market are all provided by the Starseed Sect, and it’s still sold drop by drop. If, let those cultivators, see such a huge piece of the Holy Liquid Lake, they would definitely go crazy.”Zhang Ruochen laughed.
Saints could also mobilise holy qi and condense out holy liquid.
However, the holy liquids condensed by saints were all Latter Heavenly Holy Liquids, and could not be compared to the Innate Water Spirit Holy Liquid in the Mercury Gourd in terms of purity, or quality.
The wine madman laughed, ”In fact, as long as the Mercury Gourd is refined into a Sacred Artifact, giving birth to an Artifact Spirit, it can automatically absorb the spiritual qi between heaven and earth, and internally, transform it into the nascent Water Spirit Holy Liquid. However, the nascent Water Spirit Sacred Liquid can only be considered as a Houtian Water Spirit Sacred Liquid, and its quality is inferior to that of the Innate Water Spirit Sacred Liquid.”
“Now this one Mercury Gourd, which has only gone through a simple rough refining, is very malleable, and as long as one finds a weapon refining Saint Master, it can be completely refined into a powerful Saint Weapon.”
The Wine Crazy Man continued, “In the entire Kunlun Realm, there are only a handful of Weaponry Refining Saint Masters capable of refining the Mercury Gourd, and it just so happens that old me knows one, Zhang Ruochen, do you want me to introduce that person to you?”
“No need.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Firstly, Zhang Ruochen himself knew a Sacred Master of Weaponry Refining and did not need an introduction from Wine Crazy.
Secondly, Zhang Ruochen did not intend to refine the Mercury Gourd into a Saint Artifact right now, instead, he was going to wait until his attainments in time and space further deepened, and then refine the Mercury Gourd into a temporal treasure.
In Zhang Ruochen’s opinion, the Mercury Gourd was the best material for refining temporal and spatial treasures.
“Don’t want it or don’t want it, when the time comes, don’t come begging for old me.”
The Wine Crazy Man snorted coldly, not bothering to pay attention to Zhang Ruochen, and with a wave of his sleeve, he turned into a stream of light and flew out of the Mercury Gourd.
Zhang Ruochen’s Sacred Soul Bilocation, carefully inspected the interior of the Mercury Gourd, confirming that there was no danger before flying out of the gourd and reentering the main body.
“The interior of the Mercury Gourd is an excellent holy realm for cultivation, I’m going to go in and impact the Middle Realm Saint realm.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Since using the Pure Destruction Divine Flame to quench his physical body, Saint Source, and Saint Qi, and all the refuted forces in his body were refined by the Divine Flame, Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation, which was quickly stabilised, could break through the realm now.
In the past, Zhang Ruochen would have had to spend at least a few months to remove the refuted forces in his body and boil down his Saint Origin and Saint Qi to a solid state.
It could be said that after obtaining the Pure Destruction Divine Flame, Zhang Ruochen would not need to spend a lot of time in the future to precipitate the power within his body, and his cultivation realm could rise by leaps and bounds.
“To charge into a new realm again so soon, it hasn’t been long since you broke through to the Saint realm, has it?”
The Wine Crazy Man revealed an astonished expression and stared carefully at Zhang Ruochen for a moment before regaining his composure again, saying, “Back then, when I went from Lower Realm Saint to Upper Realm Saint, it took me four years, which is already considered to be a very fast cultivation speed. Hehe! It’s really exasperating to be compared to others. Don’t worry about going in to impact the realm and hand over the Mercury Gourd to the old me, I will definitely protect you.”
Zhang Ruochen stared at the Wine Crazy Man, a hesitant look in his eyes.
“What is that look in your eyes? Old me has sworn that I won’t do a single evil deed in this life, so you still don’t feel comfortable handing over the Mercury Gourd to me?”
The Wine Crazy Man crossed his arms, white smoke coming out from inside his nostrils, quite angry, feeling that Zhang Ruochen was questioning his character.
Zhang Ruochen solemnly said, “I’m just worried that you’re greedy for the treasures in the Abandoned Deep Sea and break into inside some deadly realm and get me killed as well. You have to know that the higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the higher the mortality rate of breaking into the Yin Yang Sea.”
“Don’t worry, old me’s cultivation might not be as good as those old guys who have been mighty for thousands of years, but my ability to save my life is something that can rank in the top ten of the entire Kunlun Realm. You have to know that there has never been a survivor under Empress Chi Yao’s sword, and I am one of the few survivors. Now, you know how powerful I am, right?”
The Wine Crazy Man tilted his chin, not feeling ashamed at all, instead, he still felt quite remarkable.
Zhang Ruochen gently shook his head and said no more, only explaining that the Wine Crazy Man would help look for Huang Yichen and the others. Subsequently, Zhang Ruochen used the means of spatial transfer and took a step forward, passing through a layer of ripples and directly entering the interior of the crystal gourd.
“Worthy of being a Space-Time Transmitter, as long as you don’t encounter any formations that confine space, you can come and go as you please anywhere in the heavens and earth.”
The Wine Crazy Man revealed a look of envy, then, grabbing the Mercury Gourd and hanging it on his waist, he harnessed the ice mountain under his feet and moved out in a hurry.
Inside the gourd, on the jade island.
“Come out.”
Zhang Ruochen’s finger pointed forward, and within him, a silver-coloured root stretched out, spreading along the jade island, all the way into the white lake water.
The roots were simply too dense, wrapping the entire island.
“Wow.”
A huge green-coloured vine flew out from Zhang Ruochen’s back like a giant dragon, rushing all the way from the water to ten thousand feet in the air.
At the top of the vine, an incomparably colourful flower, emitting a rain of light, drooped down from the sky and appeared in front of Zhang Ruochen.
In the flower, there stood an incomparably beautiful woman, with skin as snow-white as sheep’s fat, a slender and concave figure, long hair hanging down like a waterfall, a pair of soulful eyes staring tenderly at Zhang Ruochen, her seductive crystalline red lips slightly open as she said, ”Master, with the slave girl’s current cultivation, she can only engage half of a Thoroughground Realm Saint. However, as long as the slave girl is allowed to absorb enough Water Spirit Holy Liquid, even if she encounters a true Earth Thoroughfare Realm Saint, she will still be able to fight with them.”
Zhang Ruochen carried his hands behind his back and said, “The reason for releasing you is to allow you to absorb as much Water Spirit Holy Liquid as possible so that your strength can grow to new heights.”
“Many thanks, Master.”
The voice of the Sacred Eating Flower was soft and charming, and its left eye blinked gently, as if it was deliberately trying to lure Zhang Ruochen. Accompanied by a pleasant laughter, the luscious flower flew out and began to absorb the Water Spirit Holy Liquid in the lake.
“The Death Knights of the Immortal Blood Clan are all used for battle prowess that is close to the Thorough Earth Realm. The Earth Goddess of the Earth Goddess Temple and the Immortal Goddess of the Immortal Goddess Temple, their strengths, are even more unfathomable, possessing many bizarre and inexplicable means. On top of that, there are also a few powerful figures who have never made a move, and they are all quite tricky as well.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to only have the option of retreating and fleeing every time he encountered them, so he desperately wanted to raise his cultivation level and make himself even stronger.
In the future, when he encountered them, he would also be able to fight them head on.
“As long as I break through to the Middle Realm Saint realm, I should be able to stand up against Saint realm beings of the Thoroughfare Realm.”
He sat down on his knees, each of his hands pinching out a seal, and the Saint Qi in his body flowed rapidly, emitting a “rumbling” sound, as if a thousand rivers were rushing about.
“Wow…”
On the surface of the lake, one hundred and forty-four Water Spirit Holy Qi mist bridges rose up, rushing into the one hundred and forty-four orifices of Zhang Ruochen’s entire body, causing the rumbling sound emitted from Zhang Ruochen’s body to become even louder.
