Chapter 39 Be courteous and ask for something
The sudden arrival of this old man and deacon caught Xu Ke by surprise.
For a while, Xu Ke couldn't figure out the way, and didn't know what this person wanted to do when he came here suddenly.
"Meet the deacon."
Xu Ke collected himself, quickly saluted, and said hello, "I don't know if you are here this time, what's your order?"
This person is a senior of the sect, so he shouldn't be in trouble for a low-level disciple like me, right?
I neither have a lot of treasures, nor do I have any huge wealth. Even if I have a little bit of talent, I am not the talent of the light and fire spiritual roots required by the true inheritance of the sect. There should be nothing to make people think.
"Hehe, no rush."
The white-haired old man smiled, his figure flickered, he fell from the entrance of the cave, and appeared beside Xu Ke.
Turning his head to look at the "underground cave", the old man smiled and nodded again, "You also built a cave? Yes, you have practiced the spell of turning concrete into stone so well."
"The deacon praised me."
Xu Ke was still a little confused about the reason for this person's visit, so he just casually said something modest.
The white-haired old man looked at the "big pot" where Xu Ke cooked Lingmi, and said to Xu Ke, "You boiled all the millet? What are you going to do?"
"this…"
Xu Ke rubbed his head, "The disciple plans to brew spiritual wine."
"Brew spirit wine?"
The white-haired old man turned his head and smiled at Xu Ke, "So you still like to make wine! However, for Qian Zhongsu, it is not easy to make good wine. Anyway, the old man also has some itchy hands, so I just shot once. "
As he spoke, the white-haired old man turned around and walked to the entrance of the "cauldron" regardless of Xu Ke's answer or not, ready to start.
"Looking good."
The white-haired old man waved his hand, and a gust of cold air swept out, covering the "big pot", cooling down the freshly cooked Qianzhong millet.
"To make good wine from Qianzhong millet, the fermentation temperature is the key. At this temperature, the most suitable temperature is neither cold nor hot."
With a wave of his hand, the cold air dissipated, and the cooked Qianzhong millet just cooled to the desired temperature.
"Now it's fermenting."
The white-haired old man stretched out his palm again, "Different wine-making materials require different fermentation methods. The fermentation of Qianzhong millet is the simplest, and only one fermentation is required, but... the water needs to be changed first!"
As he spoke, the white-haired old man stretched out his hand to grab it, and the old man grabbed all the water left in the cooked millet, and it condensed into a huge water polo.
Throwing the water polo out of the hole above his head, the white-haired old man turned his head to look at Xu Ke, and smiled, "This is the old man's secret now. In addition to raw materials, water is also very important in making wine. The old man's secret is to use Ganlin technique."
As he spoke, the white-haired old man cast the Ganlin spell to add water to the boiled thousand bell millet.
Xu Ke blinked, still a little dazed. What are you doing here? Brew for me?
The white-haired old man finished casting the rain technique, and after adding water, he began to cast the fermentation technique. The aura of magic is covered in the "cauldron" of Qianzhong millet, and the raw materials are fermented rapidly.
"There is nothing to say about the fermentation process. The only thing to pay attention to is to continue casting the spell and keep the spell running until the fermentation is complete."
While explaining to Xu Ke, the old man maintained the continuous operation of the fermentation technique.
Under the effect of the spell, the fermentation time that originally took several days was condensed to just a moment.
Wait until the millet millet in the "big pot" was completely fermented, the old man stopped the operation of the spell, and said to Xu Ke: "The next step is the last step, to extract the liquor."
While running his spiritual power, the old man explained to Xu Ke, "The extraction process is the most critical. Extraction can't automatically extract the wine, but you need to anchor what needs to be extracted by yourself. If the operation is not proper, what is extracted is Rubbish, not fine wine."
Hearing what the old man said, Xu Ke had no choice but to release a trace of spiritual power, which merged into the extraction technique that the old man was about to cast.
The next moment, the old man cast an extraction technique on the fermented millet.
Xu Ke followed the trace of spiritual power integrated into the extraction technique, and sensed the process of the old man extracting the wine.
During Xu Ke's spiritual induction, the old man quickly anchored the alcohol component with spiritual power, and then anchored the spiritual power characteristics of Qian Zhongsu and the spiritual power characteristics of Ganyushu.
At this step, the old man paused, and said to Xu Ke: "The next step is to add water. If you want to refine high-alcohol wine, choose less water. If you want to refine low-alcohol wine, choose more water." .This can be determined according to personal taste and preferences. What kind of wine are you going to make?"
"High bar! Drink less alcohol. If it's too much, I don't have anything suitable to hold it."
Xu Ke quickly stated his request.
"If there is only a lack of containers, then there is no need to deliberately refine high-grade wine."
The old man smiled, "Well, I'll make you the most popular moderate wine, a container for wine, you don't have to worry."
As he spoke, the old man activated his spiritual power, anchored a moderate amount of water, determined all the extracts, and officially started the extraction technique.
The next moment, a strong aroma of wine wafted up.
A crystal clear liquor flew out from the fermented millet, turned into a water line, and flew towards the white-haired old man.
Flicking his sleeves, the old man took out a gourd carved from jade, opened the lid, and caught the water line.
The water line keeps flowing, and the liquor keeps falling into the gourd.
The pile of fermented thousand bell millet was also quickly squeezed into dregs and turned into distiller's grains.
After a while, the extraction is complete.
"It's okay, about 2,300 catties of wine."
The white-haired old man handed the gourd to Xu Ke, "Take it, the gourd is for you."
Xu Ke didn't reach out to pick it up.
Being courteous to others, one must ask for something.
This white-haired old man, as the deacon of the Si Nong Dian, at least has a foundation-building cultivation base, and his status is far from that of Xu Ke, a first-class deacon of the Dian of Si Nong.
There must be a reason why he is both a "leader" and a "senior", and he is still so "respectful to others". It is definitely not because Xu Ke is handsome and looks pleasing to the eye.
"I don't know what the senior has ordered, please explain it clearly!"
Xu Ke bowed and saluted, "If you can do what you can, the disciple will not refuse."
The implication is that if I can't do it, I can only refuse. I don't have the consciousness to risk my life for others.
"I do have something to ask for your help."
The white-haired old man glanced at Xu Ke, "Take the gourd! Whether you can help or not, this gourd is given to you."
"This... is bestowed by the elders, I dare not resign, this disciple is ashamed to receive it!"
Xu Ke didn't refuse any more, and reached out to take the jade gourd.
Actually, Xu Ke is also very clear that it is already very rare for this white-haired old man to be able to make such a "respectful" gesture.
He is a "leader" and a senior person. He really offends him. He uses his status and strength to exert pressure and directly force orders, but he can't resist at all.
"I don't know if there is anything senior can do for the disciple?"
Xu Ke bowed his hands and saluted, and asked the old man.
