The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu

In this world, there are mortal wines for ordinary people, and there are spiritual wines brewed from a vast array of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Each natural treasure contains immense spiritual power, which leads to various incredible effects when these spiritual wines are consumed.

For example, they can enhance a Gu Master's strength, speed, and most commonly, cultivation level. Due to this, the recipes for spiritual wines are closely guarded secrets, never shared publicly.

The spiritual wine recipes available in the market are often low-quality, while high-quality recipes are impossible to buy. Taverns rely on their exclusive recipes for profit, so they wouldn't sell them. Furthermore, this barren land doesn't have good recipes to begin with.

Creating one's own recipes is a necessity, and even more challenging, as four different kinds are needed.

If your goal is merely to satisfy your taste buds, then the spiritual wines on the market are not very expensive. However, if you seek quality spiritual wine, you need to use various invaluable natural treasure, making the cost unlimited and potentially very high.

Especially for spiritual wines used to refine Gu, cheap wines are out of the question. You would need the best spiritual wine, and the cost for the best is naturally high.

Therefore, even though the Gu recipe only requires four flavors of wine—sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy—if you use the best materials, the cost would be exorbitant, and the number of materials required would be overwhelming.

The materials for these four wine recipes combined might be more than what is needed to refine the Eye of heavenly secrets, making the cost even higher.

Long Xuan took a deep breath, feeling numb all over. It's not just about the cost; he also needed to create the four spiritual wine recipes from scratch.

Who knows how long it will take, but certainly longer than the time consumed refining the Eye of Heavenly secret Gu recipe.

Long Xuan couldn't help but swallow hard.

Of course, the choice is his. If he uses cheap wine, he won't need many resources or much time, and no one is forcing him. However, with Long Xuan's personality, he either doesn't do something or does it to the best of his ability. How could he compromise?

He decided to go all out!

Long Xuan gritted his teeth and prepared to continue working tirelessly.

Having already successfully created the Gu recipe, he put away the recipe that only required four materials and took out new paper to create the wine recipes.

The Gu recipe required four flavors of wine: sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy.

So what wine is sour? Long Xuan thought of fruit wine from his previous life.

What wine is sweet? He thought of glutinous rice wine from his previous life.

What wine is bitter? He thought of absinthe from his previous life.

What wine is spicy? That would be baijiu from his previous life.

Fortunately, Long Xuan knew how to brew all these wines.

However, the materials for these wines were too cheap. Using them to refine Gu wouldn't work; he needed to keep the same templates but replace all the materials with various natural treasure from this world.

Long Xuan decided to start with the sour wine, which is fruit wine.

As the name suggests, fruit wine naturally requires various fruits. The materials should be based on fruits.

But in this world, fruits are called spirit fruits, each containing a large amount of spiritual energy.

Because spirit fruits are rich in spiritual energy, they are considered a type of spiritual medicine and can be used for alchemy, making them extremely expensive.

So which spirit fruit is most suitable for sour wine? With trembling fingers, Long Xuan wrote down the most expensive spirit fruit...

Time flew by, with spring, summer, autumn, and winter changing continuously outside the window. Sometimes the wind blew in, sometimes rain swept in, sometimes there was heavy snowfall outside, and sometimes the scorching sunlight shone through the window onto his manuscript...

He forgot about the passage of time, often too focused to remember to close the window, letting the wind and rain batter his face. Only at these moments did he feel the flow of time...

Until one day, he stretched lazily, wiped his beard, revealing a hint of fatigue, but his eyes were bright and full of excitement.

"Already in the late stage of spirit gathering?"

He felt his own cultivation and his joy grew even more.

Unknowingly, two years had passed. During these two years, although he neglected his cultivation and indulged in non-productive activities, his cultivation progress had not fallen behind, thanks to his five clones pushing him to the late stage of spirit gathering.

The feeling of being able to cultivate just by sitting was incredibly satisfying.

However, this was not his greatest achievement in the past two years. His greatest achievement was the four spiritual wine recipes on the table.

Seeing these four spiritual wine recipes filled him with a sense of accomplishment, making the two years of effort worthwhile.

These were no ordinary wines; in mythological stories, his wines could be called immortal wines.

His sweet wine enhanced spiritual power.

His spicy wine increased strength.

His sour wine improved agility.

His bitter wine healed injuries.

His fine wines were not spirit pills, but better than spirit pills.

After all, they were made from thousands of natural treasure rich in spiritual energy. How could they not have some miraculous effects?

Indeed, to pursue the highest quality, he used an immense amount of materials, with each wine recipe using thousands of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, including thousand-year spirit fruits. If used to refine Gu, who knows how many spirit stones it would consume.

But the cost far exceeded that of the Eye of heavenly secret.

With such an exorbitant cost, the spiritual wine was naturally extremely delicious. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the wine of the gods, and it was a hundred times better than the wines from his previous life.

In short, Long Xuan can became completely addicted after one sip, planning to drink it for a long time. Considering it permanently enhanced his physical attributes, it was worth using all the spirit stones he gained from auctioning fossil veins to brew the wine.

Over these two years, he secluded himself to create the wine recipes while ordering his clones to go to the market in different disguises to collect the various materials for the recipes. Whenever he encountered them, he bought them at high prices, even several times the market price, as he had plenty of money and didn't hesitate to spend spirit stones.

Thanks to his financial power, he collected materials quickly, and thus, he brewed the three flavors of sour, sweet, and spicy wines, even distilling them several times with modern distillation techniques. The aroma was so strong that he almost got drunk just from smelling it, not daring to drink it himself, leaving it for his wine bug instead.

Now, only the bitter wine's final material was missing. The last material for the bitter wine had just been discovered by chance, and he was waiting for his clone to buy it back to start brewing the bitter wine.

Once the bitter wine was ready, he could start refining the wine Gu, and the thought of it excited him.

"Fire Clone! Go! Buy me the bitter wormwood fruit, then brew the bitter wine. After brewing the bitter wine, distill it, and after distilling the bitter wine, refine the wine Gu."

Long Xuan shouted out the window, and the Fire Clone, who was training in the sunlight, immediately got up and ran out.

Ever since Long Xuan had clones, he would lie down rather than sit, sit rather than stand, and delegate everything to his clones, living more bossy than a boss himself.
