Chapter 306 Small Stone Chamber
As soon as he entered the cave, the strong smell of spirit wine rushed into Qingyang's nose. The aroma of wine was so fragrant that it made people drunk. Without careful distinction, Qingyang could recognize that the spirit wine here was exactly the same as the one Hou Jiangong sold to Deng Changting last time.
Hou Jiangong's jar of monkey spirit wine must have been obtained from this place.
Qingyang followed the monkey king and walked forward a few steps to the side of the cave. The smell of the forest was spread from here. Under the stone wall on the side, there was a five or six foot deep natural stone pool filled with light yellow liquid, which was the monkey spirit wine.
The monkey spirit wine here was obviously brewed by this group of demon monkeys themselves. There were piles of fruits and fruit cores on the edge of the pool. Some had been smashed, some had been fermented, exuding a sour smell, and some unknown liquid was oozing out.
Most of the fruits and fruit cores here were just ordinary wild fruits, and only a few seemed to be rare wild spirit fruits in the world of cultivation, and some even Qingyang didn't recognize. Judging from the spiritual power contained in these fruits, their level is not very high.
This spiritual fruit is only useful for ordinary people and low-level Kaimai realm disciples. For Qi-refining cultivators like Qingyang, eating such spiritual fruits will only improve their cultivation very little. Being able to combine such spiritual fruits with wild fruits to make monkey spiritual wine, this group of demon monkeys' winemaking skills are still very powerful.
This pool of spiritual wine has at least dozens of cubic feet. If it is stored in wine jars, it can hold at least hundreds of jars. So much spiritual wine is enough for the alcoholic bees to drink for a long time. Qingyang even thinks that if all these spiritual wines are drunk by himself, maybe he can improve his cultivation to the middle stage of Qi refining without the help of elixirs and just by refining the spiritual wine.
Qingyang knows that even if he takes away all the spiritual wine here, the demon monkeys dare not object. But Qingyang is not so greedy. The remaining demon monkeys still have to live here. If he takes away all the good things, this group of demon monkeys will probably be useless.
Qingyang filled the pool with about two-thirds of the spirit wine and temporarily placed it in the wine pool of the Drunken Immortal Gourd. He harvested most of the monkey spirit wine, and this adventure was worth it.
Qingyang looked around and was about to leave the demon monkey cave, but the monkey king suddenly pulled his sleeve and pointed at the stone wall next to him with his claws. Qingyang didn't understand why, so he walked over there and took a look, and then used his divine sense to observe carefully, and then he found that the back of the stone wall seemed to be empty, but it was blocked by a huge rock outside, which was difficult for outsiders to find.
The stone was very big. With the strength of a Qi-refining cultivator, it was easy to break the stone, but it was almost impossible to move it as a whole. It can be seen that the person who put the stone here is very powerful.
There seems to be another world behind it. Is there any treasure inside? Could it be that the harvest this time is not just the spirit wine? Qingyang's heartbeat also accelerated a few points, and he hurriedly rushed a few steps and moved the boulder with the monkey king.
The stone seemed to have not moved for hundreds of years, almost connected to the ground. Qingyang and the monkey king took a lot of effort to shake the stone and move it aside.
The stone was moved away, revealing the space behind. This was a small stone chamber. Except for the cave entrance blocked by the stone, there was no other place for light, and it looked dark.
Fortunately, the cultivators all had divine consciousness. Qingyang released his divine consciousness and instantly explored the entire stone chamber clearly. The entire stone chamber was only ten feet square, and the furnishings inside were very simple. There was a stone table in the middle, two stone benches next to it, and a stone bed against the wall.
There was a person sitting on the stone bed. Qingyang was startled when he first saw it, thinking that it was a high-level cultivator in seclusion in this place. But then he realized that if there was really someone inside, he would have been awakened by the big noise just now. How could he still sit there motionless? Moreover, the entrance to the cave had been blocked for at least a hundred years. Even if there were living people inside, they would probably have starved to death after such a long time.
Sure enough, Qingyang took a closer look and found that the man had been dead for a long time, with only a skeleton wrapped in clothes, so from a distance he looked like a monk meditating on the bed.
Qingyang walked over carefully and looked carefully. He only found a jade slip in the hand of the skeleton and three exquisite wine jars on the bedside, and nothing else.
Qingyang couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. He thought he had found a cave left by a master and could have more amazing gains. Who knew there was nothing good, not to mention that there was no magic weapon or spiritual weapon left, not even a talisman for receiving things. Could it be that the person who died here was a low-level casual cultivator?
However, it can't be considered as nothing. At least there is a jade slip and three wine jars. Maybe there are good things in them. Qingyang first picked up the three wine jars and looked at them. Two of them were empty, and only the third one was shaking and making a gurgling sound, as if it contained a lot of liquid.
What other liquids can there be in the wine jar besides wine? It can't be mountain spring water, right? Qingyang quickly opened the lid of the wine jar, and then a very strong aroma of wine came out. Just by smelling it, Qingyang felt a little drunk. Although it was not as powerful as the fairy wine he smelled at the edge of the secret wine pool, it was not much different. It was really good stuff.
Not only Qingyang, but even the Monkey King standing not far away showed an intoxicated expression. He now recognized Qingyang as his master and did not dare to have any bad thoughts, so he resisted the impulse in his heart. If he had found such good wine before, he might have rushed up to snatch it directly.
It's a pity that there is only half a jar of such good wine. I don't know whether the person on the bed drank half of it, or because it was left for too long and evaporated, but the rest must be the essence of the wine.
Good wine is powerful. Qingyang didn't dare to drink too much. He just took a small sip from the wine jar, and then closed his eyes and savored it carefully. The spiritual power contained in this spiritual wine is extremely large. It should not be a spiritual wine of the Qi Refining level. It is very likely to be a foundation-building level.
After the spiritual wine entered his stomach, the fierce energy quickly spread into his body. Qingyang felt that his body was like being baked on a stove, and his whole body was extremely hot. When dealing with the rolling rat Zhu Ru just now, Qingyang performed the blood burning technique. Logically, his body should be deficient in essence and blood and tired at this time, but after drinking this sip of spiritual wine, the fatigue all over his body disappeared, as if he had not performed the blood burning technique enough before.
Such a good thing must not be wasted on the alcoholic bees, and must be kept for myself. Not to mention whether it will be useful in breaking through the bottleneck in the future, just the advantage of it in relieving the sequelae of the blood burning surgery will make me wonder how much it can help me at the critical moment.
