Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 944: Chapter 364: [Spirit Effect—9 Yang Forging Longevity!]

The long-awaited Spirit Wine is finally in hand.

But Ji Yuan didn’t have time to admire this Spirit Wine much; there was plenty of time for appreciation. If he didn’t care about his life, he could even taste it himself.

However, the insights brought by the upgrade of the [Wine Cellar] were merely a moment to grasp.

Ji Yuan couldn’t delay and immediately seized this opportunity to begin contemplating his cultivation.

With a close and open of his eyes, five days had passed.

When Ji Yuan reopened his eyes, the phenomena of the [Wine Cellar] upgrade had long disappeared.

In front of him, in addition to the three bottles of liquor, there were ten new bottles of wine.

Because although the Nine Nether Burning Life Brew takes a year to produce one tael, the Heart’s Desire Wine and the Unrivaled Wine each produce one tael per day.

After five days, each of these two wines produced five bottles.

Without taking a closer look, Ji Yuan swept his hand, sending these twelve bottles to a side shelf, leaving only the bottle of Nine Nether Burning Life Brew in front of him.

With a single hand, the bottle fell into his grip.

The bottle was made of warm jade, so it felt slightly warm to the touch, which was expected.

But soon Ji Yuan sensed something amiss because he realized the warmth was coming from the wine inside, not the bottle itself.

“Nine Nether Burning Life Brew truly lives up to the ‘Burning’ in its name.”

Ji Yuan mused, knowing the taste of the Nine Nether Burning Life Brew without even taking a sip.

It would definitely burn the throat.

The wine was extremely potent.

Out of curiosity, Ji Yuan uncorked the Red Jade Bottle and peered inside.

What he saw… was a glaring scarlet red.

As if instead of wine, a ball of burning flames was contained inside.

Ji Yuan didn’t drink but took a whiff, which was enough to taste the spicy aroma.

But immediately, he noticed signs of a breakthrough in his cultivation.

“This is not good!”

He hurriedly replaced the lid, and with the disappearance of the wine’s fragrance, the agitation within him and the signs of breakthrough subsided.

He didn’t think his cultivation was on the verge of a breakthrough; the Nine Nether Burning Life Brew had no auxiliary breakthrough effect.

Its effect was singular: swallow a mouthful of wine,

Burn fifty years of lifespan and forcibly elevate the cultivation state by one realm, lasting for one incense stick of time.

The only limitation is the elevation cannot exceed the Nascent Soul Stage.

The peak is the Peak of Nascent Soul.

For Ji Yuan, the wine’s effect would be strongest if consumed at the Peak of Core Formation.

One mouthful of Nine Nether Burning Life Brew could elevate the cultivation to the Early-stage Nascent Soul… truly reversing a surrounding-kill situation at the Peak of Core Formation.

A single gulp could turn the tide.

Additionally, for the Nascent Soul Stage, consuming it also brings great effects.

Generally, a mid-stage Nascent Soul can easily kill an early-stage Nascent Soul.

But this Nine Nether Burning Life Brew is the key to reversing that advantage.

“Now that I have this treasure, when to use it is yet to be determined.”

Ji Yuan leaned toward trading it with those Nascent Soul Monsters, but to negotiate with them, he probably needed at least Nascent Soul Cultivation himself.

Otherwise, it would be like stocking up on guns while the neighbor stockpiles grain, making the neighbor his granary.

Ji Yuan immediately placed the Nine Nether Burning Life Brew on a nearby shelf, even creating a separate shelf specifically for storing this brew.

After reviewing the upgrades, Ji Yuan summoned the panel to look at the lv5 [Wine Cellar]’s Spirit Effects and Upgrade Conditions.

[Wine Cellar: lv5 (Cannot upgrade further)]

[Spirit Effect 1: +100% in wine flavor; enhances cultivation effects when consumed (effect varies with wine quality).]

[Spirit Effect 2 (Nine Sun Alchemy of Longevity): Produces one tael of Nine Sun Alchemy Brew every two years, which, when consumed under the Great Sun, can defy fate, harvest longevity, and capture Great Sun True Essence, increasing lifespan by fifty years. (Can only be consumed once in a lifetime)]

[Upgrade Conditions: Mid-grade Spirit Stones x88888; Evergreen Water x1 tael; Essence of Nine Suns x1 wisp; Master at least 50 brewing methods of Spirit Wine. (Not fulfilled)]

The lv5 [Wine Cellar] still only has two Spirit Effects, which somewhat disappointed Ji Yuan.

Most other constructions, upon reaching lv5, typically have 3 Spirit Effects.

But the [Wine Cellar] is just so stingy!

As for Spirit Effect 1, it’s still a regular upgrade, enhancing the taste of the wine.

This is why Ji Yuan places all his wines in the [Wine Cellar].

Additionally, consuming it still enhances cultivation effects, so Ji Yuan takes a little sip before each cultivation session.

Spirit Effect 2… is quite powerful.

The lv4 [Wine Cellar] produces Nine Nether Burning Life Brew, which consumes 50 years of lifespan when consumed.

The lv5 [Wine Cellar] produces Nine Sun Alchemy Brew, which can increase lifespan by 50 years without harm.

So, if I have a sip of Nine Nether Burning Life Brew in my left hand and a sip of Nine Sun Alchemy Brew in my right, wouldn’t I get a free realm of power?

When that time comes, what can you do to me?

“Unfortunately, it can be consumed only once in a lifetime, otherwise drinking one every two years, even if my cultivation doesn’t break through, would render me immortal and ever-young, wouldn’t it?”

Ji Yuan mused to himself.

He also noticed that while the Nine Nether Burning Life Brew takes a year to produce one tael, the Nine Sun Alchemy Brew takes two years to produce one tael.

“Why is it that when it comes to costing me my life, it’s so quick, but when giving me some life, it’s slow?”

Ji Yuan: “Heh heh.”

As for the upgrade conditions, Spirit Stones are a minor issue, but as for Evergreen Water… never heard of it.

Essence of Nine Suns… also never heard of it.

But judging from the quantities, one is one tael, and one is one wisp, needing very little.
