Chapter 234
After returning to the Candle Dragon Road, Su Tongxiao asked Fang Yu to be in charge of bringing a group of disciples back to the Chaoyang Palace, while he himself rushed to report to the high-level officials in the sect. Zongmen gave an explanation.
In particular, the physical bodies of four disciples were destroyed. Although there was a reason for the incident, he, a person who took advantage of others, could not completely remove all responsibilities.
Han Li didn't want to get too involved in this matter, so he said goodbye to Su Tongxiao, and went directly to Jingyun Peak, and walked into the side hall deep in the Taixuan Hall.
The inside of the hall was as deserted as ever, the door was half-closed, and the slovenly old man was leaning bored on the big chair behind the desk.
"Although the wine is good, you can't be greedy... It's only been a few days, and it's almost gone..." The old man murmured, holding a gourd of vermilion wine in one hand, taking a few sips from time to time.
When Han Li walked outside the hall door, he happened to hear the old man's complaint. After a pause, he raised his hand and pushed the door open.
"Boy, it looks like the third mission has been completed, right? You're quite agile. Is there a girl you fancy?" Seeing Han Li coming in, the old man looked up at him and said.
"There were some accidents during the trial, so it was stopped early. However, the disciples are all fine, but I don't know. Does this count as completing the task?" Han Li briefly explained what happened in the Xuanbing Mountain Range. , by the way, he raised his hand and handed over his elder token.
"Whether they have completed the trial has nothing to do with you, nor with me. As long as you do your own thing, the task will be completed." The old man said, and took the token.
He opened the merit book, and quickly recorded the merit points of the task rewards for Han Li, then raised his hand, and threw the token back.
Han Li didn't say much, and reached out to take the token, and put it away casually.
He glanced at the old man Huyan, and then at the elixir on the table, but his steps didn't move at all, and he didn't seem to want to leave at all.
"Why, you haven't done enough deacon tasks? You finished three and want to get the fourth one?" The old man glanced at him and said angrily.
"Senior was just joking, you see..."
"Stop, stop! If you can't come up with a decent drink, then it's useless to say anything. I won't reveal anything about the Taoist soldiers." Before Han Li finished speaking, he was called out. The elder waved his hand and interrupted.
"Senior, don't rush to refuse. This junior handed in the mission today, and there is nothing left or right. Can I have another drink with you here?" Han Li had expected this, and tentatively asked with a smile on his face.
"During this period, I have been very busy. I don't have time to make wine. There is not much wine left. Now I have one less drink, and I don't have enough! The last time I was happy, I let you take one glass after another. After you left, my heart ached for a long time ...Don't worry about the old man's Taoist soldiers, go, go!" Elder Hu Yan's face darkened when he heard the words, he quickly hung his vermilion gourd back to his waist, and issued an order to drive away the guests.
"I don't want senior to give me a glass of wine, but this junior wants to treat you to a drink." Han Li said with a smile when he heard this.
"Bring the old man a drink? The wine worms in the old man's stomach are very picky. If it's an ordinary spiritual wine, don't take it out to make a fool of yourself. It spoils the old man's appetite, let alone talking about soldiers. It's completely useless, just kick you It's possible to kick out Jingyun Peak." Elder Hu Yan frowned and said.
When Han Li heard this, he didn't take it seriously. He just stretched out his palm and wiped it lightly on the table in front of him, and two emerald green jade wine glasses appeared there.
The body of the cup is transparent and flawless, the emerald color is evenly distributed, and there are strands of golden threads lingering inside, forming a petal-shaped peculiar pattern, which looks quite extraordinary.
"Eh... the golden silk glass cup, it's not bad..." The old man wanted to say something more, but after seeing the two jade cups, he let out a sigh.
Han Li didn't speak, and turned his wrist again, and a fiery red delicate wine bottle appeared in his palm.
He raised his other hand and pulled the wooden cork off the wine bottle.
With the soft sound of "Bo", a very strange but extremely rich aroma of wine spread instantly, filling the entire side hall.
Elder Hu Yan's reddish nose immediately wrinkled, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.
He leaned forward involuntarily, stood up from the seat, lay half of his body on the red table, put his head close to the wine bottle in Han Li's hand, and took a strong sniff.
"Hurry up, hurry up, why are you still standing there! Pour the old man quickly, this taste... the greedy worms in the old man's belly are about to come out..." Elder Hu Yan pursed his lips, his eyes gleamed, and he was in a hurry cried patiently.
Naturally, Han Li didn't dare to play tricks on the old man, so he leaned forward slightly, poured the mouth of the white wine bottle, and poured the liquor into the two gold silk glass cups on the table.
Elder Hu Yan quickly picked up a wine glass, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.
I saw the fine wine in the glass, showing a bright red color, exuding a flame-like red light, the wine liquid was clear and clear, shaking the glass slightly, you can still see the reflection of red light dots on the liquid surface, Like a flame jumping.
He impatiently brought the wine glass to his lips, took a sip first, raised his brows suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on his face, then raised his head suddenly, put the whole glass of wine into his mouth, and took a sip And do.
As soon as the wine entered his stomach, a strange warm current immediately flowed through his whole body along the limbs and veins, and the color of the reddish nose of the old man immediately deepened a little.
He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the aftertaste of the wine between his teeth and cheeks, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
When Han Li watched this scene, a faint smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
"Fine nectar and jade liquid, fine nectar and jade liquid... boy, where did you get this fine wine? I have never drank it before." The old man recovered from the aftertaste of the fine wine and said immediately.
"This kind of wine is called 'Huo Sali', and it's produced in the Wild Lane Continent. However, because the recipe of the wine has been lost, it's hard to find it now." Han Li explained in this way.
"What... the wine recipe is lost?"
When Elder Hu Yan heard the words, he felt as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and his voice rose an octave.
But soon, he calmed down, turned his gaze to Han Li, and asked, "Since it has been lost, how did you get this wine?"
"You don't need to ask this senior, but this junior just wants to know, is it enough for this junior to exchange your knowledge of Dao soldiers with the recipe of the Fire Saliva Immortal Wine?" Han Li asked bluntly.
"this……"
After hearing this, the old man lowered his head slightly and sat back on the big chair, with a look of hesitation on his face, as if he was caught in a tangle.
However, Han Li saw that out of the corner of his eyes, he was constantly looking at the fiery red delicate wine bottle in his hand, obviously wanting to keep the wine recipe and this bottle of wine in his pocket.
Sure enough, I heard the old man say:
"That's all, that's all...the old man and you are considered to be friends, as long as you hand over the recipe and the bottle of Fire Saliva Immortal Wine to the old man, it doesn't matter if the old man can teach you the knowledge about Dao soldiers."
"Senior, this can't be done. The only thing we agreed on was the wine side. And I only have this bottle of Fire Saliva Immortal Wine. I can't just give it to you, Senior." Han Li said decisively .
"Can't you give it to me for nothing? Kid, tell me, why are you looking at this old man again?" Elder Hu Yan immediately heard the meaning behind Han Li's words, stared and asked.
"The junior still wants to learn from the senior, how did you put this elixir into the basin?" Han Li laughed dryly and said what was in his heart.
"Haha... What is the old man supposed to do? This is nothing, the old man taught you." Elder Hu Yan said with a loud laugh.
Seeing that he was so generous, Han Li felt a little surprised.
But after he heard the method of planting, he understood why this sloppy old man was so straightforward.
Because the method of planting this potted elixir is not complicated, the difficulty lies in finding a suitable container for elixir planting and preparing the elixir that can provide sufficient spiritual power for the elixir.
The pitch-black round pot used for Elder Hu Yan's potted plant is itself a magic weapon capable of absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, so it can carry the elixir so that even though it is separated from the earth, it can still continue to thrive.
In addition, this planting method is only limited to a very small number of special elixir, and it is not suitable for all.
"It's a pity that there are so many restrictions..." Han Li sighed.
"The old man has already told you, hurry up and give me the Fire Saliva Immortal Wine and the recipe." Elder Hu Yan urged with a chuckle.
Han Li handed over the wine bottle first, then turned over his hands and took out the wine recipe that had been copied, and put it on the table.
Elder Hu Yan first took the wine bottle, pulled out the cork, sniffed and sniffed, and then took the wine side to examine it carefully, muttering from time to time: "Sure enough, I used the Arhat leaf for ten thousand years... and even added Jiaoyan flower ……I see……"
Han Li saw that he was engrossed, so he didn't bother him. He caught a glimpse of the glass of wine that was poured for him on the table, and reached out to take it, but unexpectedly, before he stretched out his hand, he was slapped by Elder Huyan. Lost.
"These wines belong to the old man now." After finishing speaking, the slovenly old man snatched the glass and drank it down without saying a word, and then praised "good wine, good wine".
"Now, senior, can we talk about the soldiers?" Han Li naturally didn't want to argue with the other party, so he changed the subject and asked.
"I really didn't expect that you boy could actually get such a good wine recipe. Tell me, what do you want to know?" Elder Hu Yan put away both the Fire Saliva Immortal Wine and the wine recipe, and said seriously.
"This soldier... looks like a puppet, but it is quite different. What exactly is it?" Han Li asked after thinking about it.
"What exactly are Dao soldiers? This question is difficult to explain. There are many sources of them, such as slave monks who voluntarily sold themselves, powerful monsters, specially made puppets, heavenly demons who made contracts, mutated ghosts, and self-cultivated weapons. Spirit...even the spirit race born in the spirit realm, all belong to the category of Taoist soldiers." Elder Hu Yan pondered for a while, and said so.
"Which type of Daoist soldiers can transform from yellow beans into yellow scarf fighters?" Han Li nodded and asked again.
"Oh, you mean bean soldiers. They belong to the immortal planting Taoist soldiers among the puppets. They need to be cultivated innately and refined in the future. The power of the bean soldiers will be different depending on their strength." Elder Hu Yan explained.
