Chapter 136 7 Starry Night Wines
Although she was wearing a veil, Liu Yue Wuxia's face was as red as if it was about to bleed.
"Master, please don't laugh at me... Besides literature and martial arts, gambling is actually quite interesting!"
Li Changsheng clapped his hands and laughed:
"As expected... if you have a drunkard master, it's like having a gambler apprentice!"
"It's okay, as long as it doesn't interfere with my work."
Liu Yue lowered her eyebrows and said:
"How dare I, my disciple? I've only learned a few tricks from my gambling king disciple Yin Luoxia, but I've never actually sat at the gambling table."
Li Changsheng couldn't help wondering:
"Why? Are you afraid of losing money because you haven't learned the skills well enough?"
Liu Yue sighed:
"That's not the case. It's just that the gambling house is full of ordinary people. They are shouting and screaming and smell very bad. I am really disgusted by them."
"Good fellow, you want to gamble, and you even look down on the person you're betting with... Then you'll have no choice but to gamble with your good disciple in the academy!"
Li Changsheng said sarcastically.
Liu Yue quickly changed the subject:
"I just think it's interesting, but I won't really gamble..."
"Master, are you going to leave Tianqi City in a few days and travel alone?"
Li Changsheng: "Of course not... and your troublesome Junior Brother Baili!"
When Liu Yue heard this, she spoke out everything that was on her mind:
"Can you bring one more person?"
Li Changsheng was startled:
"Why, are you still going to push that little gambling king onto Master?"
"Alas... I should have known better than to accept so many apprentices. None of them are worry-free!"
"I see you spend all day admiring flowers and playing chess, you have nothing to do, why don't you take her out to practice?"
Liu Yue smiled knowingly:
"My appearance is not suitable for traveling around the world...but Master..."
Hearing this, Li Changsheng sank and tidied up his hair:
"Why? When Master was young, he was a famous handsome man in the whole area. I don't know how many boys and girls he charmed!"
"Tsk...you little fox, stop looking down on your master!"
Liu Yue quickly clasped her fists and said:
"Of course, Master is still as handsome as ever!"
Li Changsheng frowned:
"Alright, alright, stop with the halfhearted flattery. Sigh... I didn't expect that I, Li Changsheng, would not only have to take care of my apprentices, but also my grandchildren!"
"I'm losing my status as I grow older!"
Liu Yue stood up:
"Master, please don't blame me. Luoxia is a very talented girl. If she can travel around the world with you, her vision and cultivation will be further improved!"
"Everyone knows that Li Changsheng's disciples are all outstanding figures in the martial arts world. Master, you should be proud of it, right?"
Li Changsheng's face fell:
"Really... I saved you and you have a good mouth. Okay, okay, you little fox, you are full of tricks!"
"I'll take care of you, Master. It's getting late, so please go back to your room and rest!"
After saying this, he bowed and went back to his own yard.
……
In the inner courtyard of the school, the small courtyard belonging to Baili Dongjun was filled with various grains, fruits, and flowers.
There is only one day left before Baili Dongjun and his teacher Xie's drinking bet in Diaolou Xiaozhu. During these days, Baili Dongjun has no time to spare.
"Dangdang!"
Inside the room, the aroma of wine filled the air on the table. Baili Dongjun accidentally knocked over a black porcelain vase, and a stream of wine with the fragrance of plum blossoms gushed out...
At this time, Baili Dongjun had not slept for three days and two nights. During these days, he had been holding the bamboo slips of "The Book of Wine" and thinking hard.
"Alas...seeing the stars in the daytime, seven cups of starry wine...it's so hard to achieve, so hard to achieve!"
Sikong Changfeng, who was lying in the room, had just finished washing up and poked his head out while wiping his face:
"Dong Jun, what do you mean by seven cups of wine at night? It's already the second watch, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Baili Dongjun had a pair of thick dark circles under his eyes, and he was still diligently studying the "Wine Classic" that Xie Xuan gave him.
"Why are you sleeping... I have a drinking contest with Master Xie tomorrow. I feel like the last bottle of my seven-flavor Starry Night wine is missing something. It's not perfect enough!"
"If I lose to Master Xie tomorrow, your Silver Moon Spear and my reputation as the Wine Fairy will be in jeopardy. How can I sleep well?"
Sikong Changfeng was helpless and said:
"Don't worry, don't worry, take a rest first, maybe you'll get some inspiration in your dream!"
Baili Dongjun sighed and did not respond.
He casually picked up a bottle of wine with the word "Tianshu" on it and took a big sip.
The wine went down his throat, as sharp as snow wrapped in a north wind, and poured all the way into his stomach, where it seemed to explode.
The wine was as strong as fire, making Baili Dongjun feel warm all over. He seemed to have some inspiration, and picked up the bottle of "Tianxuan" and took a sip.
This "Tianxuan" is far less intense than Tianshu, but the wine has a sweet aftertaste, and a mellow feeling goes straight into the back of the head.
After drinking Tianxuan, Baili Dongjun directly picked up the bottle of "Yaoguang". This wine was stronger than Tianshu, although he only drank one sip.
Baili Dongjun, who could drink much more than an ordinary person, got a little drunk, and his handsome face instantly turned red.
The internal force in his body was surging and flowing continuously along Baili Dongjun's meridians.
The strands of Qi on his head began to dissipate out of his body...
It seems that with one more opportunity, one's cultivation level will be able to break through and enter the realm of freedom!
"Got it! Money-losing stuff! I got it!"
Feeling the wonderful changes in his body, Baili Dongjun jumped up in surprise!
It turns out that his seven glasses of starry night wine have always been pursuing different flavors, without disturbing each other.
If you drink them individually, each one is a good wine, but they only taste the same.
After drinking a few cups in a row, Baili Dongjun realized that if these seven cups of wine were mixed together, he would actually get seven flavors.
Not only that, if one drinks seven cups in a row, a martial artist will be able to break free from the shackles and soar into the sky in an instant!
Sikong Changfeng was a little confused. He had already noticed the true energy emanating from Baili Dongjun's head, so he walked up to Baili Dongjun and touched his forehead.
"Dongjun, do you have a fever? Why is your forehead burning like fire?"
Baili Dongjun rolled his eyes at him, and then excitedly began to introduce the mysteries of the seven bottles of starry night wine one by one -
Tianshu is the most fiery, so Baili Dongjun specially uses sorghum and three times the amount of yeast to brew it in order to enhance the taste and strength of the wine.
After taking the first pot of wine, cooked aconite is added to enhance the flavor of the wine.
The cooked aconite was picked by Sikong Changfeng from the Medicine King Valley, and then cooked by Xin Baicao himself. Its medicinal properties are extremely strong!
Cooked aconite is used to warm the water and cold, replenish the true fire of the life gate, restore yang and produce body fluids, and it is supplemented by strong liquor, which complements each other!
Tianxuan is the sweetest, made from persimmons that have been frosted after the beginning of winter.
Baili Dongjun also added licorice and astragalus, which are warm in nature and sweet in taste. Ordinary people drink this wine to replenish qi, raise yang, and strengthen the defense and exterior.
If a martial artist drinks it, it can lock the internal strength in Dantian and make it more refined!
Tianji is the most kind-hearted. Baili Dongjun steamed millet among the five grains and added the magnolia bark brought by Sikong Changfeng to make the brew.
This wine is warm in nature and strong in flavor. The aroma of millet mixed with the medicinal fragrance of Magnolia officinalis is refreshing.
Tianquan is the most refreshing. The base of this wine is fresh bamboo juice, and you can smell the refreshing bamboo fragrance as soon as you take a sip of the wine.
Fresh bamboo sap is a good medicine for calming the mind, clearing heat, and expelling evil spirits and avoiding filth. Baili Dongjun was so ingenious that he got this pot of rare clear wine in the world!
The most fragrant Yuheng wine is the one that Baili Dongjun accidentally knocked over just now.
This wine is inspired by peach blossoms and its raw material is a kind of fragrant rice produced in Nanjue.
The wine has a pleasing pink color and leaves a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.
This pot of wine from Kaiyang took the most effort to prepare.
The raw material was originally the most common malt. Baili Dongjun got inspiration from the Wine Classic and added angelica, poria, salvia miltiorrhiza and saffron to the wine base.
It is steamed and dried three times, and finally, it is introduced with Chuanxiong, a herb that can promote blood circulation and activate collaterals, to make this wine!
Kaiyang wine is as its name suggests. If ordinary people drink it, it can promote blood circulation, remove dead tissue and regenerate new flesh.
If a martial artist drinks it, all his limbs and eight extraordinary meridians will be opened up, and he can also guide his true energy directly into the Baihui point and break through the shackles!
Yaoguang wine is much stronger than Tianshu wine and is brewed from a mixture of five grains.
It is an improvement on the dogwood wine brewed by Baili Dongjun in Donggui Wine Shop!
In order to increase the strength of the wine, Baili Dongjun took out ephedra, cinnamon and black iron aconite, a specialty of Yaowang Valley, from Sikong Changfeng's package.
These three herbs were too strong and lacked staying power. Following Sikong Changfeng's instruction, a Ganoderma lucidum was added to balance the effect.
After drinking it, it can give ordinary people the power to break out of their cocoons and transform into butterflies, and this is exactly the opportunity that Kaiyang Wine needs to break free from its shackles!

(Daju's words: Really, really, Shaobai's original work did not mention the ingredients and process of brewing Seven Star Night Wine. I relied on my understanding of the various constellations of the Big Dipper and supplemented it with traditional Chinese medicine to perfect the efficacy and principle of this wine!)
(I am very happy. Today is the last day of National Day. I hope all the readers who are going to school and work have a safe and happy journey!)
