Free Web NovelChapter 681: 764 Crooked Purple Gold Gourd
Just as he was unsure how to face Zuoqiu Yiren’s back.
A lazy yet cool voice rang out from outside the house: "Since you’re awake, come out quickly."
Chen Mo walked out of the wooden house and saw Zuoqiu Yiren’s fair body lazily turning over, her lively eyes gazing at him quietly.
"Morning... ah, Sister Yiren, about last night." Chen Mo rubbed the back of his head, deciding to admit his mistake first.
Who knew Zuoqiu Yiren would say indifferently: "Considering you’ve brewed Immortal Drunk, I’ll let last night slide, but don’t let there be a next time."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo felt even more awkward, realizing she had already seen through him.
"Why are you standing there dazed? Since you’re awake, go brew wine. The Immortal Drunk from last night, I’ve already finished it."
After saying that, Zuoqiu Yiren took off a Golden Bell from her ankle, tossed it to Chen Mo, and said, "The materials for Immortal Drunk are all inside. I’ve already infused your aura into the Merak Bell, allowing you to check it and take out the items inside."
Chen Mo took a look after receiving it.
If the space in his Qiankun Ring could be described in several cubic measures.
Then the Merak Bell was like a small world.
What amazed Chen Mo even more, even making him want to exclaim, was that the Treasure Medicines were stacked like little mountains, as if they cost nothing.
The key point is that ordinary space ornaments require special jade boxes and secret techniques to store valuable items like herbs and Demon Beast Meat to prevent the loss of potency and essence.
However, the herbs in the bell were haphazardly piled together without any special storage, yet there was not a trace of potency loss.
Seeing the amazement on Chen Mo’s face, Zuoqiu Yiren said calmly, "If you had lived for hundreds of years and explored several relics, you would have this much stuff too. What a pity, a few Holy Medicines I previously acquired were borrowed by my sister to breakthrough. If used as materials to brew Immortal Drunk, it would have been marvelous."
Zuoqiu Yiren wore an expression like she was about to drool.
Chen Mo: "..."
Is this something human should say?
Using Holy Medicine to brew wine, it’s just too extravagant.
"Sister Yiren, what about this bell?" Chen Mo asked.
"Initial Grade Dao Artifact," Zuoqiu Yiren replied.
Chen Mo was already envious to the core, and asked again: "Sister Yiren, isn’t your wine-drinking gourd also a Dao Artifact?"
"Oh, you’ve spotted it, not bad." Zuoqiu Yiren nodded and said, "The Patriarch once obtained a seed of a Purple Gold Gourd, then cultivated it, growing a gourd vine. My gourd was picked from that Purple Gold Gourd vine."
Chen Mo’s eyes widened: "Purple Gold Gourd? An Immortal Artifact?!"
According to the Dao Scripture, the Purple Gold Gourd is a treasure of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor of Daoism, capable of swallowing the heavens and earth.
The gourd in Sister Yiren’s hand is the "descendant" of the Purple Gold Gourd.
The Shenxiao Sect actually has a Purple Gold Gourd vine.
"Sister Yiren, but as recorded in books, isn’t the Purple Gold Gourd supposed to have a red gourd mouth and a Purple Gold gourd body? Why is the color of your gourd different?" Chen Mo asked in confusion.
The gourd in Zuoqiu Yiren’s hand looked plain, and was a green gourd, as if it had been harvested before it matured.
"Because although the Patriarch cultivated the gourd vine, there was no fertile soil and sufficient nutrients for it to grow, so the gourd vine did not flourish, and the gourds that grew naturally turned out a bit crooked."
Zuoqiu Yiren crossed her long legs, her upper leg shaking slightly, the bell on her foot tinkling, exuding a youthful grace, then she laughed: "Thanks to this, the gourd eventually came into my possession."
After speaking, Zuoqiu Yiren moved her fingers lightly, and a big green gourd appeared in her arms, then said: "Although it’s crooked, no matter what wine is put inside, it won’t take long to turn into aged wine."
Aged wine refers to wine that has been fermented for a long time.
In other words, the interior of this green gourd can accelerate time.
"But it also has an obvious drawback, no matter how much it shrinks, it can only shrink to its current size." Zuoqiu Yiren hugged the gourd, and although her figure was slender, compared to the round gourd, it seemed a bit mismatched.
Chen Mo listened quietly as she flaunted her wealth.
Is this the world of a wealthy woman?
Chen Mo finally understood why she seemed a bit lazy.
With such strong abilities and so many treasures, what need was there to strive hard...
"Sister Yiren, I’ll go brew wine now."
Chen Mo felt that if he listened any longer, she might say that even her clothes were Dao Artifacts, and then his mentality would surely collapse.
How can the gap between people be so vast?
For the next three days, Chen Mo was brewing wine.
Every time he brewed, the True Qi in Chen Mo’s body was almost completely exhausted, which allowed him to realize that this method was even less effective than going out for real-world experience.
And Zuoqiu Yiren’s gaze became more satisfied the more she watched.
Since becoming an Inner Sect Elder of the Shenxiao Sect, she had grown somewhat lazy.
Spending each day drinking and sleeping, passing the time idly.
So if she could lie down, she avoided moving.
By teaching Chen Mo, not only did she not have to put in much effort, she also got to drink Immortal Drunk each day.
The Vice Sect Leader tasked her with teaching Chen Mo, and this task was completed.
Moreover, her sect duties were also fulfilled, as she effectively took on a disciple, eliminating any worries about her Inner Sect Elder title being revoked by the sect.
This was truly a threefold gain.
She even went to sleep with a smile now.
But having a student that is too smart isn’t good either, as it might make her seem inadequate as a teacher.
On the fourth day, when she was preparing to teach Chen Mo alchemy, she discovered that Chen Mo could already perform alchemy.
Initially, she felt relieved, thinking she wouldn’t have to put in effort to teach.
But she quickly realized that if this continued, her presence would make no difference.
"No, I need to show my worth, in case he leaves, it wouldn’t be good." Zuoqiu Yiren thought.
On the sixth day, when Long Xiaoyao emerged, Zuoqiu Yiren, upon receiving the news, said: "From today, move to my Merak Peak to live. With your sister here to protect you, you need not fear that Long Xiaoyao."
Zuoqiu Yiren thought happily, now she could showcase her value.
Moreover, living on her Merak Peak, he could brew Immortal Drunk for her day and night.
Faced with such a good offer, of course, Chen Mo wouldn’t refuse; cultivating on Merak Peak was doubly effective with half the effort.
However...
"Sister Yiren, my wives are still at Suoxian Courtyard. Now that Long Xiaoyao is out, if they’re still at Suoxian Courtyard, I’m a bit worried." Chen Mo said.
Zuoqiu Yiren didn’t mind; Merak Peak was so large, taking in a few more people was absolutely no problem. She said, "Let them move in as well. However, I won’t teach them, and also, what I teach you cannot be taught to them."
