Chapter 194: Imprinting New Beast Patterns - Wild Brew
An family has sent someone—a middle-aged man at the Essence Blood Realm.
Zhang Ping was given two options as compensation: one was to receive 10,000 spirit coins, and the other was for the An family to set up a property for him in Luhua City.
Zhang Ping did not hesitate and directly chose the second option.
After everyone left, Zhang Ping quickly packed his things and headed outside. He only had to cross two streets before he saw the shop An Jia had given him. It was located on a street corner, not in a bustling area, but better than some back alley.
It seems that An Ruxue kept her promise and did not reveal his strength.
Zhang Ping nodded to himself.
Having just arrived, he didn't want to attract too much attention, and having An Ruxue keep it a secret was one of the steps he took.
Of course, they had only known each other for a few days, and Zhang Ping couldn't be completely sure if she would hide anything from him. But even if An Ruxue told the An family about his abilities,
For Zhang Ping, it was no big deal; it just meant he would be living in Luhua City in a different way.
"I'll acquire some property and then stay here to recuperate."
Amidst the bustling street, Zhang Ping stood with his hands tucked into his sleeves, a smile on his face as he looked at the pavilion in front of him.
Five days later, a shop called Pingfan Winery quietly opened. There was no grand publicity; they simply decorated the attic with the help of the An family and put up a new gold signboard.
During this time, An Ruxue brought An Ran with her once.
An Ran is already able to walk, but his face is still pale.
After meeting Zhang Ping, a hint of doubt and uncertainty would occasionally flash in his eyes.
Upon regaining consciousness, An Ran discovered that her mother and she were still alive, realizing that Zhang Ping had been behind it all. He had completely misjudged this stranger he'd picked up on the street!
He is a man of hidden talent, and his cultivation level is at least at the Marrow Marrow Realm.
This was not what An Ran cared about. After all, as a former emperor, what did it matter if Zhang Ping was at the Divine Harmony Realm?
What really bothered him was that he vaguely saw Zhang Ping hugging his mother's waist before he lost consciousness, and even his fingers were so strong that they dug into her flesh.
However, he was nearly unconscious at the time, his vision was blurred, and he was seeing many illusions, making it difficult for him to determine whether it was real or not.
He naturally couldn't ask his mother about such a thing.
An Ran then found an opportunity to send An Ruxue away.
"Thank you so much, Brother Zhang, for your help that day. My mother and I are extremely grateful," An Ran said.
Zhang Ping's lips curled into a smile. "Young Master An, there's no need to worry. Madam has already paid the fee."
"This restaurant?"
Although the property here is not considered extremely valuable, it is still worth tens of thousands of spirit coins. If it weren't for my mother's efforts within the clan and the use of the legacy of the elders, the An family would not have given it up.
An Ran assumed that Zhang Ping was referring to this restaurant.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ping smiled silently and remained silent.
Seeing this, An Ran hesitated whether to ask directly. After all, he wasn't sure, and it wasn't good for a child to speculate about his mother.
Just then, An Ruxue returned, interrupting An Ran's attempt to continue asking questions.
The two stayed for half a day, taking care of many things for Zhang Ping, and left in the evening.
Afterwards, Zhang Ping hired two waiters and brought in some ordinary fruit wine, and the winery was opened.
It rained heavily that day.
It poured down like a torrential downpour.
Fortunately, there was no thunder, just a bit of wind. All the winery windows were closed.
The winery has three floors. The first floor is where you buy wine, the second floor is a lounge, and the third floor is located in the basement and is a large area for storing wine jars.
Next to the wine storage room, there is a small room separated by bluestone blocks.
Inside, candlelight flickered, and Zhang Ping sat cross-legged on a futon. Before him lay the corpse of a half-meter-tall golden-haired monkey.
And a few other materials: black agarwood, a gorilla skull, and a rotten wild fruit.
The aroma of soy sauce travels for miles.
The Golden-haired Monkey, a mythical beast, lives in the mountains and possesses innate brewing skills. Upon reaching adulthood, it can brew a fragrant monkey-flavored liquor that travels for miles. By acquiring its abilities, one can brew spirit wine through specific ingredient combinations. Thus—Mountain Brew.
[Required Materials: Century-old agarwood, golden mutated gorilla skull, rotten wild peach, golden monkey carcass]
Zhang Ping confirmed the information on the panel and nodded secretly.
He had learned of the existence of the Langlang Mountain monster from An Ruxue long before. Now that he had come to Luhua City, he had no spirit coins on him, which made things inconvenient.
So they came up with the idea of relocating industries.
Having a place to stay not only allows you to learn a skill, but also to earn enough spirit coins to buy materials to heal your injuries.
This winery is just what I need.
He stretched out his hands, and the materials on the ground transformed into starlight, merging into his hands. Zhang Ping felt a surge of heat.
Immediately, a series of steps and methods for brewing wine began to appear in his mind, and his hands moved unconsciously, as if he had been immersed in the winemaking process for many years and it had become muscle memory.
【Mountain Monkey Wine: A spiritual wine, brewed from wild fruits of Langlang Mountain, with the addition of ingredients such as wood ear root, lily bulb, and beets. It promotes the accumulation of qi and blood in martial artists.】
[Sauce-flavored Monkey Wine: A spiritual wine, brewed with reeds from the Great Marsh, morning dew from the mountains, and a blend of various mountain fruits, it has remarkable effects on enhancing the spirit and energy of martial artists!]
【Qingling Wine: ......】
Looking at the recipes in his mind, Zhang Ping felt a rare excitement.
The monsters here are indeed powerful. They're just mountain monsters, yet they can imprint my talents and learned skills on my person. This is much more powerful than the ones back in the old place.
Zhang Ping found paper and pen and first wrote down the brewing recipe for the non-spirit wine in his mind.
Then he found a waiter and asked him to buy the corresponding materials according to the recipe.
There are three kinds of spirit wine: Qingling Wine, Monkey Wine, and White Peach Wine.
Although these three types of wine are not spiritual wines and do not aid in cultivation, they have a mellow and unique flavor. Anyone who appreciates fine wine praises them.
The restaurants owned by the three major families in the city sell these wines. However, they are relatively expensive and not available in large quantities.
However, Zhang Ping's use of animal patterns from the mountains and fields can speed up the brewing process and enhance the flavor of the wine.
Using it to earn spirit coins is naturally a good thing.
With everything arranged, the torrential rain outside briefly subsided. Although the sky was still covered with dark clouds, at least people could go out without getting their clothes wet.
Zhang Ping pushed open the wooden window on the second floor, and the cool breeze after the rain, carrying moisture, washed over his face.
"Once the winery is on track, we can start looking for demonic beasts with spiritual talents. I wonder what kinds of demonic beasts there are. A large family like the An family should have some records on them, and that kid An Ran seems to know quite a lot..."
On the streets, as the downpour subsided, the street vendors who had sought shelter from the rain reappeared, pushing their carts and shouting loudly.
The quiet streets suddenly became lively.
As Zhang Ping arranged the follow-up matters, he was unconsciously infected by the excitement below.
He wanted to talk to someone, but found that he was the only one in Luhua City.
Where can I find someone to talk to?
"Alas, I wonder how Madam and Sister Rou are doing? And Nangong Feiyan, that woman is quite intelligent and cautious; they were teleported to the same place by blood. I suppose she can protect them well..."
......
Wangyue Lake,
The lake is dotted with islands, which have formed families and towns of all sizes.
The people here live off the lakes and marshes. The spirit fish in the lakes are a rare resource for cultivation. In addition, the area is rich in minerals, so there are many wealthy families here.
