Zhanxian - Chapter 237
In a rather happy mood, Yang Chen rushed back to the main hall, he tried to let Xiao Tian open the pagoda’s restriction. A pity, he could not do so, this time around.
The pagoda restriction light outside did not even flash.
It was not that the level of Xiao Tian was too low. The level of the restriction was too high for only two reasons. Yang Chen could only turn to the next one, the two long-horned jade cases.
It was a pity that the two long-horned restrictions still had no movement. He tried everything until he was near the bottle gourd, this time it had a response.
The light was shining again, this time it was not a white light, but a blue one.
Xiao Tian was obviously happy, and its big mouth was enjoying the light, just like something delicious.
Yang Chen could feel a trace of dragon qi from those lights, which was a natural tonic for Xiao Tian. For Yang Chen, it also meant that he could get a heart-warming treasure again.
The solemn piece bottle gourd placed in the jade case did not seem to be eye-catching. The side was large and asymmetrical. The whole gourd showed a dark yellow colour that seemed to have not been picked up for a long time. There was still a lot of mottled shadows on it. He didn’t know how many years have had passed with it lying here.
The middle part of the gourd was tied with a red string which was very casual. He didn’t know what was inside and why it was kept here by the Dragon King.
The devouring of the Xiao Tian was not urgent, Yang Chen also patiently waited, while quietly practicing the Three Purities Secret Art. After the sound of the golden bell, Yang Chen’s Spiritual Awareness was somewhat shocked, and he had to cultivate rigorously to relieve it.
Half a month later, the restriction on the periphery of the jade case with the gourd was once again swallowed up by Xiao Tian. Yang Chen had been waiting for this moment and could not wait more before grabbing the gourd.
The gourd was not big, and the place where his hand was holding it, the waist just fit perfectly. That part seemed to have been held often, and a light was shining about it. Making it very comfortable to hold.
In his hands, the gourd seems to have little weight, was not very heavy.
When gently shaken, you could even hear a screaming sound inside, as if it was filled with something.
Yang Chen’s other hand was immediately placed on the mouth of the gourd. That part of the gourd was stuffed with a cork. Stretching his hand and using force to try and open it, Yang Chen immediately became stunned, this gourd could not open.
That was normal, as if it could be opened easily, it would be strange. If it was that easy it would not be worthy of the attention of the Dragon King.
However, with the lessons from the golden bell, Yang Chen did not dare to input his spiritual power casually, he went out and found a position on a Spiritual vein to sit down and started to follow the old method, first he used his Spiritual Awareness Imprint to bind it.
The strong sense of the Yuanying realm, Middle Stage formidable Spiritual Awareness, was enough to bind this gourd.
However, it still took Yang Chen a full half a month to successfully lay down his own Spiritual Awareness Imprint in the gourd.
Just like the golden bell, when the Spiritual Awareness Imprint successfully entered the gourd, a series of memories directly entered the mind of Yang Chen through the Spiritual Awareness Imprint and Yang Chen knew how to control the gourd.
What surprised Yang Chen was that the gourd turned out to be just a container, which made Yang Chen almost collapse. Just a container, was worthy enough for the old dragon king to so seriously place it here? Isn’t a Cosmos bag enough to put things in, why should it be placed in this gourd?
However, although it was only a container, there were still some functions that were different from the Cosmos bag.
This hoist could not only store liquids, it also had additional, very powerful functions.
Different liquids could be stored separately, never to affect each other. And would bring out the same liquid, the gourd owner wanted to pour out.
That was not the most exciting function of this gourd. The most important function was that no matter what liquid was put in, it will be affected by the action of the gourd itself and will change more and more towards the mellow direction.
If this was the case, this gourd was simply a beautiful wine gourd. Think about it, the wine you brewed would be more and more mellow, what kind of taste would it have?
Of course, it’s not just limited to fine wines, but there were other things like Fragrant Liquid, which could also be aged. What does aging mean? Increasing of its age.
If a liquid stuff was put into the gourd, it could age without you knowing it. Was there anything more beautiful than this?
Yang Chen couldn’t wait to open the gourd. When he opened it, he found that there were only two kinds of liquid inside. A thick and infinite liquid, with an amber glow. The other was a purple liquid, which emitted a little bit of fluorescence, and it was beautiful.
The amount of these two liquids was very shocking and each one was like a huge lake. The liquid that when you shake the hoist screams outside was simply two giant lakes.
With Yang Chen’s knowledge, it was easy to preliminarily determine what these two liquids were. However, as soon as he saw such a huge amount, Yang Chen was somewhat uncertain.
He found a piece of jade and used a flying sword to quickly spin it into a jade cup. He placed it in the Profound Spirit Furnace. After a simple burning of the True Sun Fire and Moon True Fire, Yang Chen picked up the gourd and gently dropped out an amber thick liquid out of the gourd.
As soon as the liquid entered the jade cup, it instantly gave off a wonderful smell. This smell made Yang Chen stand absentmindedly in the same place. This taste, this taste, is this really the taste of the most mellowed wine, how is this possible?
The reason why Yang Chen was not sure of it was because of that huge lake, it was too much. How many raw materials were needed to make so much wine. Just smelling the smell of this mellowed wine, and one would know, what kind of precious raw materials were used inside. Numerous monks could compete for a lifetime for these things. To the old dragon king, it was nothing but a raw material for brewing wine. How was this humanly possible?
What made Yang Chen feel the most unbelievable was that this treasure trove was not known for how many thousands of years that it had been here.
With the aging and mellowed effect of the gourd, how delicious were these wines now? Yang Chen felt it was almost impossible to guess.
Perhaps, in the heavenly court, the jade wine of the celestial beings was also so much like this. It may even be worse than this. We must know that it had only been a few years after the rebellion in the heavenly court. The new Jade emperor was only a few years old. With that chaotic situation, it was certain that no good things would have been left for the rebels.
Even if it was the current Jade Emperor, it was impossible to enjoy this level of fine wine.
After thinking about that point, Yang Chen’s mood suddenly improved. Although tens of thousands of years of wine has become a thick colloidal wine, he still raised his neck and poured a drop of the wine into his mouth.
He felt the peerless taste that came out of the fusion of his saliva and that wine, making him intoxicated. However, the powerful spiritual power contained in the wine awakened him from that intoxication.
A line of fire rushed directly from his mouth to the sole of his foot and then rushed back to the top of his head. Then the line of fire turned cool and once again went up and down his whole body. So, the hot and cold process repeated itself nine times, his whole body was almost like it was at its most comfortable period, it was far better than a Spa bath.
Even Yang Chen, who was a strong-willed person, felt as light as a feather, and wished that such a feeling will never go away.
This kind of taste, such enjoyment, even if the old dragon king was replaced with Yang Chen, he would definitely put this in the most secret treasure house.
With this lake wine base, Yang Chen would not be able to accept another liquid that isn’t this wine.
Purple, scattered with fluorescence, these two features could be found in many materials, but when combined, and at the same time being liquid, especially found in the treasure house of the old dragon king, it seemed that there was only one possibility – Mysterious Coral Liquid.
There was no other possibility.
Mysterious Coral Liquid was a liquid secreted by the thousand-year-old black corals in the northeast and northwest of the sea. However, this liquid was extremely precious. Only after the millennium black coral had grown to more than a thousand years, would it secrete a drop from its body every year.
How many thousand years of black coral could there be? Collecting a drop every year, how long would it take to collect as many of it to form this lake?
Yang Chen’s entire brain was filled with shock, even if he was reborn born with the Great Principle Golden Immortal memory, he still could not maintain his calm.
Not to mention the Great Principle Golden Immortal, even if it was the old Jade Emperor who died under Yang Chen’s Immortal Beheading Blade, who he did not know for how many years he had lived. He would not necessarily have had such a large volume of Mysterious Coral Liquid. That was, the old Dragon King, who was the first to get to the moon in the near-water platform, he did not know how many generations of efforts he must have had relied on to collect so much Mysterious Coral Liquid.
Mysterious Coral Liquid does not have many effects, just after drinking a little, it could thoroughly wash the impurities in the body, so that the body becomes as pure as snow. Or if it was added in alchemy, it could shorten the time of alchemical brewing a little, and could also improve the quality of the drug. Either in the refining process or thorough integration of different materials.
Of course, the impurities in the body would be ejected every time you advanced. However, even if the Yuanying realm was upgraded to the Dacheng realm, the Yin Fire Tribulation could only remove 90% of the impurities in the body and the Mysterious Coral Liquid could eliminate 9%, if 100 kilograms was consumed. Which means you could eject about 99% of the impurities.
The Dao was okay, usually there would not be too many impurities. But for many Demon and Monster Cultivators or the monks who practice special exercises, had absorbed countless different materials during their cultivation; it often could cause problems in their body. With the Mysterious Coral Liquid, there would be no need to worry about such a situation.
The alchemy time was shortened because Mysterious Coral Liquid was a very good neutralizer and catalyst, which allowed most drugs to fuse faster without conflicts. With the Mysterious Coral Liquid, the stability of the drug would be greatly improved. In that case, it was possible to carry out two to three revolutions or even higher-level refining.
If Wu Xiong had this thing in his hands when he was refining the Heaven Seizing Pill, even the final medicinal pill would not be black coloured. This was the difference.
As for refining, it was also due to the neutralization and catalytic properties of the Mysterious Coral Liquid. Even if it was a five-phase material, under the neutralization of the Mysterious Coral Liquid, there would be no violent reactions. The success rate of the refining would be greatly improved, and a more stable and uniform material could be obtained.
This profound increase in the quality of refining allowed even refining across levels. The magic weapon that originally needed the Yuanying realm to be refined, after having the Mysterious Coral Liquid, was likely to be refined like in the Jiedan realm.
Based on the rarity of the Mysterious Coral Liquid, the price of a drop of it in the market had exceeded one jin of High-grade spirit stones. If someone discovered a thousand-year-old black coral, He would definitely protect it as a treasure with his life. Unless he died, he would never let it go.
He knew that this was just the value of a drop. What would be the value of such a lake of Mysterious Coral Liquid? Even if it was converted into Top Grade spirit stone, the amount could kill Yang Chen.
Was it still the Mysterious Coral Liquid of the Thousand-Year-Old Coral? Yang Chen couldn’t even judge how many years had it been in this gourd, but it would not be less than 20,000 years. It would take about that much to collect so much of it.
Such a huge wealth, in the early days of Yang Chen’s previous life, he did not have a bit of impression, it was estimated that he had never been born. Now, this piece of Heavenly Wealth, which was estimated to be coveted by even the Heavenly court, had already reached the hands of Yang Chen.
After waking up from the shock, the first thing he did was to hold the jade cup and pour a drop of the wine-yeast out and then he used the Mysterious Coral Liquid to melt it. After that he greedily drank it into his stomach. This Top Grade delicacy was something one must enjoy promptly when one has it…
With such a good thing, Yang Chen certainly would not forget his own spiritual pet, thus, the same cup of Mysterious Coral Liquid was poured for Xiao Tian.
Ejection of the impurities from the body of Xiao Tian, meant that the bloodline of the Wolf-Dragon would become purer…
After drinking their fill, Yang Chen and Xiao Tian were all spoiled, so they ignored their image and laid on the Spiritual vein of the nautical chart.
The abnormal sweetness of this sleep was the normal reaction after taking the Mysterious Coral Liquid, no matter how high the person’s cultivation was, they would sleep a lot.
In their sleep, Yang Chen and Xiao Tian began to ooze a trace of black liquid, it was like grease on the surface of their bodies.
When he woke up, Yang Chen sat up and stretched out a yawn. Since he had started cultivating, he had not had such a comfortable sleep, only to feel refreshed, all over his body, it was like he was free from any attachments.
