Master of Martial Arts, please enjoy a drunken revelry in the martial world.

Chapter 27 Golden Light Spell Completed, Three Poisons Tempering Yuan Wine

night.

Gu Qianbei sat cross-legged under the willow tree in the courtyard, pondering the methods of controlling the internal energy of the severed-finger Xuanyuan from last night and this morning.

I felt a sudden flash of inspiration, and things I didn't understand before suddenly became clear.

At this moment, his aura was calm and collected, and his inner strength was as still as a calm lake.

"The way to control internal energy lies in the four words: control, guide, gather, and condense. The same principle applies to the Golden Light Mantra."

Having figured this out, Gu Qianbei took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and quietly chanted the Golden Light Mantra.

"The profound origin of Heaven and Earth, the root of all Qi. Through countless eons of cultivation, I will attain my divine powers!"

The incantation was gentle and unhurried, and with each word uttered, there was a slight tremor within the dantian.

Immediately afterwards, the internal energy slowly rose along the meridians, all the way to the right shoulder, and reached the fingertips.

A flash of golden light!

Gu Qianbei extended his right hand, and a golden dagger instantly materialized in his palm.

With a thought, the golden dagger instantly transformed into a golden longsword.

Gu Qianbei gripped the golden longsword in his backhand, and with a gentle swing, released a sword pressure that caused the willow branches beside him to sway slightly.

Seeing this, Gu Qianbei seemed dissatisfied and shook his head. Then, with another thought, the golden longsword transformed into eighteen golden needles!

Gu Qianbei raised her hands and pushed hard!

boom!

The palm strike was applied to the eighteen golden needles, which immediately shot out and disappeared into the willow tree!

The eighteen sounds rang out simultaneously, as if they were a single sound.

After doing all this, Gu Qianbei did not move again, but quietly watched the golden needles that shot into the willow tree.

Time passed slowly.

Ten breaths, thirty breaths, sixty breaths!

The next moment, the golden needles slowly disappeared, as if they had never existed.

Only the eighteen tiny needle holes on the willow tree confirm that the eighteen golden needles had indeed appeared.

"It's done!"

Upon seeing this, Gu Qianbei was overjoyed.

Condensing light into matter!

Moreover, it can be stored outside the body for a long time!

This signifies that Gu Qianbei's Golden Light Spell has finally reached its peak, allowing him to control the power of golden light at will.

Upon reaching this point, Gu Qianbei turned his right hand toward the sky, and the Golden Light Mantra instantly condensed into a golden halo.

Immediately afterwards, the golden halo rapidly expanded, landing on the ground and surrounding him, looking like the demon-avoiding circle that Sun Wukong drew for Tang Sanzang.

"It works!"

Gu Qianbei's eyes lit up; he was very satisfied with the masterpiece before him.

Although he did not possess the strength of the young Celestial Master at this time, he had caught up with him in mastering the Golden Light Mantra.

I learned the Golden Light Mantra for nothing.

Embracing this joy, Gu Qianbei had a good night's sleep.

The next morning, Gu Qianbei sat lazily at his doorstep, seemingly sleeping with his eyes closed, but actually reviewing the Thousand Wine Manual in his mind.

"The Three Poisons Tempering Wine is made by combining the venom of three deadly poisons with ingredients such as thousand-year-old pine resin, using mountain spring water as a companion, and supplementing it with pure yang fire. It can be made in half a month."

Long-term consumption can increase the body's resistance to toxins; in the event of common and highly toxic substances, alcohol can also serve as an antidote.

Suddenly, Gu Qianbei discovered a recipe for an exquisite wine among them.

"Three deadly poisons? If I remember correctly, not long from now, Yang Huilan, Li Dazui's dream girl, will come to Qixia Town to hold a martial arts contest to find a husband."

After a series of misunderstandings, it will attract the attention of the five top assassins from the underworld.

Among them were the Golden and Silver Elders of the Five Poisons Sect.

These two individuals possess three types of venomous creatures: the Soul-Chasing Bee, the Five-Step Snake, and the Deadly Scorpion, which should meet the requirements.

Once we find a thousand-year-old pine knot, we can try to brew this exquisite wine.

Gu Qianbei's eyes lit up when he thought of this.

This is a rare opportunity.

The ingredients used in the recipe for the finest wines are all very precious, and this time it's a rare opportunity to find one that can be used for brewing.

The so-called "thousand-year-old pine resin" refers to the resin on old pine trees. Although it is quite precious, it is not impossible to obtain.

"Let's try asking at the pharmacies in town first. If that doesn't work, we'll have to go look for it in the mountains ourselves."

Gu Qianbei acted on her thought immediately and headed towards the pharmacy.

However, when he arrived at the pharmacy, he ran into an acquaintance.

"Xiao Zhao? What are you doing here? Is Uncle Ge's injury still not healed?"

Gu Qianbei was surprised to see Xiao Zhao buying medicine.

"Young Master Gu!"

Xiao Zhao was initially delighted, then explained, "Father's injury has healed, and I still have quite a few herbs left from the last time I gathered. They're useless at home, so I dried them today and brought them to the pharmacy to sell."

"So that's how it is."

Gu Qianbei suddenly realized.

I never expected Xiao Zhao to be such a money-making expert.

"Young master, what brings you to the pharmacy?"

"I need thousand-year-old pine resin to brew wine, so I came to the pharmacy to ask about it."

"A thousand-year-old pine resin? Such a rare item is impossible for the town's pharmacies to find. Even in the city, it's a matter of luck."

Xiao Zhao was quite familiar with the pharmacies in Qixia Town, shattering Gu Qianbei's unrealistic hopes.

"I guessed so, but I have to come and ask before I'll give up hope. If all else fails, I'll go into the mountains and look for it myself; maybe there's still hope."

Gu Qianbei said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao's azure eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression.

"When I went to Black Wind Ridge with my parents to collect herbs before, I did see an old pine tree, but I don't know if it has any thousand-year-old pine knots."

That tree grows on a cliff face; I can't get over it.

Xiao Zhao paused when she mentioned her parents, as if she swallowed something that was about to come out and replaced it with "father" and "mother".

But Gu Qianbei was overjoyed upon hearing this, overlooking the strangeness of the matter.

"Really? Can you take me there? I think I know how to pick them."

Gu Qianbei hadn't expected such an unexpected gain.

"Of course. However, Black Wind Ridge is a day's journey from here, and with the addition of gathering herbs, it will take at least three days."

I need to go back and tell my parents first, so they won't worry.

"Should I go back with you and tell them together?"

"No need, no need, I can manage on my own."

Xiao Zhao waved her hand and said no, so Gu Qianbei didn't insist.

"Shall we meet at the town entrance tomorrow morning?"

"Um."

Back at Qianchousi, Gu Qianbei began packing his bags.

This was, in fact, the first time he had left Qixia Town since arriving in this martial arts world.

"First and foremost, there's the alcohol. You absolutely must bring it. Whether it's for restoring internal energy and physical strength, or for cultivation, it's indispensable."

"My cultivation is about to break through to the mid-stage of the Acquired Realm, so I cannot afford to be complacent."

With that thought in mind, Gu Qianbei filled three gourds with sunflower wine and two gourds with dragon and tiger wine.

There is a limit to how he can convert the power of wine into internal energy using the Nine Heavens Wine Transformation Technique each day; it's roughly equivalent to one gourd of wine.

If there were no limit, he probably would have drunk as much as he could have long ago.

Of course, this upper limit is also related to the strength of his own meridians and dantian, and it will increase as his cultivation level becomes stronger.

"With equipment, we still need mobility. The two horses we seized from Black Wind Stronghold will come in handy, so we don't need to buy any more."

Add some dry food and spare clothes, and that should be enough.

In the blink of an eye, several bundles had appeared on the horse's back, making it look quite full.

"I wonder when the system will reward me with a storage space. It's really inconvenient to carry all this luggage."

Gu Qianbei complained inwardly, but the brewing of the new wine was slow, so he could only wait.
