Night talk in Cao Mansion

When all the Cao family members heard that Ye Fan claimed to have tasted six kinds of wine-making raw materials, they were all disdainful and sneered.

"Our Cao family is a family that is proficient in brewing. Everyone in the family is good at brewing. Youwen is the best among us. Her talent in brewing is outstanding, second only to the family master. If she only tasted five raw materials , no one dares to say more than six!"

"That's right! I didn't know that I ran out of that remote corner. I guess I haven't even drunk the second-level Wu Zun-level wine before, and I dare to boast that I can taste the third-level Wu Hou level wine."

"A nobody dares to come to my Cao house to brag!"

Their pride does not come out of thin air. The Cao family is the only wealthy family in Dongnae County that is proficient in wine-making. The art of wine-making has been passed down for thousands of years.

After Cao Hao became the head of the family, he reached the pinnacle and created the original "Wine Cultivating Martial Arts Line", integrating wine training into martial arts.

Ye Fan dared to come to Cao's house to boast that he was proficient in wine.

Cao Youwen pursed her red lips and said unconvinced: "Since you said six kinds, then tell me and see!"

"Wanhu Prefecture has a specialty of third-order ice and snow cold crystal rice, which only grows in the cold land in the center of one of the ice lake islands. Hanquan Prefecture has a specialty of third-order frozen highland barley, which is grown by watering it with cold spring water. Then. In addition to the third-level thousand-year-old snow ginseng, the courage of the Snow Bear Beast Lord, the third-level bone-penetrating herbal medicine, and a piece of snow soul hidden for thousands of years at the top of the Nine Regions Ice Peak, including at least these six materials, this cold brew can be brewed. Bingxuepo' wine."

Ye Fan confessed the names of the six ingredients used to brew the "Bingxuepo" wine, and also told them their origins.

Cao Youwen opened her mouth, her quiet and elegant face completely stunned.

She only came up with five ingredients, which were basically the same as what Ye Fan said, except that the third-order bone-penetrating herb was missing.

The other Cao family members were also dumbfounded and looked at Ye Fan in surprise.

Ye Fan actually guessed six types!

Even Dean Cao Hao, who brewed this wine by himself, was a little unbelievable at this time, and said in surprise: "There are just a few other kinds, they are all things containing ice energy, which is easy to guess. But how can you possibly taste that there is something in this wine?" What does the bone-penetrating herb taste like? It is a colorless and odorless herb, and it is not ice-based."

"I didn't taste it, I just guessed it."

Ye Fan shook his head and said calmly: "Although the wine brewed from the first five ingredients is already very cold, drinking it feels like being in the ice and snow, but after all, it feels a little less cold, and three points less "cold to the bone" 'It means. And this bone-penetrating herb can help the power of ice and snow to spread to all four parts of the body, making people feel cold to the bones, like a cold knife cutting bones. You must mobilize your whole body's vitality to resist the cold in this wine. This 'cold' The ice and snow soul wine's cold power immediately increased by three points. Dean Cao likes drinking the most, he is so heroic, if this wine is not strong enough, he will not be happy, how can he drink it to the fullest!"

Cao Youwen was shocked.

Ye Fan actually "guessed" her grandfather's thoughts, thus inferring the ingredients instead of tasting them.

Cao Hao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "You boy! You don't just taste wine, you also taste people's hearts! When I first made the wine, I thought that the chill in the wine was never enough, so I added some bone-penetrating herbs. Go in. You actually guessed this little bit of my thoughts!"

He smiled at the others and said, "It seems that Ye Fan is slightly better in this first round of guessing wine. Does your sister want to continue?"

"Keep going! There are still nine altars behind!"

All the Cao family disciples said one after another.

Even if they are not trying to win Ye Fan, they still want to drink the wine.

"Of course! I don't believe that I will lose to him every time!"

Cao Youwen pouted her mouth slightly.

Immediately, several maids came forward to take away the unfinished wine in the cups at the banquet and store them properly. Except for Dean Cao Hao, everyone else is a martial arts master. They can only taste the third-level "ice and snow soul" wine and dare not drink a glass.

Another maid filled a glass of the new "Jasper Spring" wine for them and continued to taste it.

After tasting this round of fine wine, everyone was a little drunk.

But the shock on the faces of the Cao family disciples became more and more obvious.

They are the core children of Cao Mansion, the five or six most outstanding children of the second generation, but no one can beat Ye Fan in the winery. Compared with Ye Fan, they always taste less wine-making ingredients.

Once it was a coincidence, but it is the same every time, I'm afraid it is inevitable.

They also saw that Mark was obviously trying to save face for them. Otherwise, it would not just be a material difference, but a lot of difference.

Ye Fan's ability to identify the raw materials for making fine wine has reached its peak.

Those Wuhou-level materials are either in extremely remote and rare places, or they are rarely heard of. Ordinary people have no idea.

However, Ye Fan is so remote that he has many treasures at his fingertips. Some of the reported brewing materials have not even been heard of by the Cao family's children.

Especially the last jar, the third-level top-quality "Tian Xiang Zui" that Cao Hao has treasured for fifty years. After just a small taste, the whole person is in a state of ecstasy, and I am intoxicated for a long time. How can I taste it? Raw materials come.

Even Cao Youwen couldn't tell what brewing materials it was made from.

But Ye Fan still named several brewing materials, and none of them were wrong.

The faces of all the Cao family members present looked ashamed, and they all lowered their heads to drink. Occasionally, their eyes looked at Ye Fan with admiration, and no one said those sarcastic remarks.

Being inferior to others in what they are best at makes them completely lose the confidence to provoke.

They finally understood why Cao Hao asked Ye Fan to sit at the top table on the left, in front of all the Cao family's children. Ye Fan's attainments in winemaking are a little bit higher than those of the Cao clan.

Mrs. Cao looked shocked, secretly guessing that her husband valued this Ye Fan so much, and Ye Fan's talent in wine was unimaginably high, and he could almost catch up with her husband. Could it be that he wanted to recruit a disciple? !

But, she guessed wrong.

Cao Hao had no such idea at all.

...

After a family banquet in the Cao Mansion, although everyone had just a taste of these fine wines, they drank many types and were still very drunk.

The grandson of Dean Cao, who was the most ridiculously drunk, even started talking nonsense, saying that he wanted to worship Ye Fan as his eldest brother and learn how to drink from Ye Fan.

When Cao Hao saw that they were very drunk, he ordered his maids to help them go back to rest.

Cao Hao asked all the servants in the mansion to retreat.

Only Cao Hao and Ye Fan were left in the pavilion by the lake in the small courtyard.

Ye Fan was still sitting upright on the table. Although his face was slightly red, his mind was clear and his eyes were clear. He was obviously not drunk at all.

"Ye Fan, why aren't you drunk? Are you born with a body that is not drunk?"

Cao Hao said curiously.

He is at the peak of Wuhou Realm, and he can drink more than ten glasses of third-level wine without any problem. But Ye Fan was only in the early stage of Wu Zun, so it was impossible for him to drink third-level wine and not be drunk at all. Apart from being intoxicated, he has never heard of any Martial Lord who could not get drunk after drinking third-level wine.

 "of course not."

Ye Fan immediately shook his head and said, "I have read the article "The Way of Wine Cultivation" written by Dean Cao during the Canglan Palace Examination. I learned from the cultivation methods in it to dissolve all the power of wine and turn it into vitality accumulated in the meridians of the body. among."

Dean Cao Hao's eyes flashed, and his expression was slightly shaken.

"Eighty years ago, I was in the palace to test the "Way of Wine Cultivation" written by Ce Wen. The king was not happy about it, and I lost my position as the head of the country because of it. This article was shelved in a high cabinet and sealed on the top floor of the library of the Imperial College. I'm afraid it's been in the dust for a long time, and probably no one else has read it. Even my descendants from the Cao family, no one has read this article! How did you see it?"

Cao Hao said in surprise.

This is a policy question he gave during the palace examination a long time ago. I am afraid it has been forgotten by the world for a long time. I didn't expect anyone to remember it, so it was dug out.

"Books are something that can always be seen as long as you have the heart to see them. Someone once saw this "Wine Cultivation" policy written by Dean Cao in the Imperial College Library. I recorded it and I happened to see it. This written by Dean Cao We share the path of wine cultivation and find our own unique path, and students learn a lot from it."

Ye Fan smiled, not worried about being exposed at all. Cao Hao wrote this policy eighty years ago. During this period, no one could find out how many people had entered the top floor of the Imperial Library of Canglan Kingdom.

Cao Hao did not ask further questions, but just sighed: "This is the essay on the enlightenment of wine cultivation that I wrote in the palace examination after I was young and vigorous, and after I broke through to become the Marquis of Wu in my thirties! The writing is a bit simple, but I didn't expect you to be able to read it. I have realized something. It is indeed a formidable future! Do you know why I invited you to my Cao Mansion tonight?"

"I don't know!"

Ye Fan shook his head. Dean Cao Hao's sudden invitation still made him feel a little strange.

Cao Hao explained calmly: "Last year, Dean Mu of Luyang Mansion wrote a letter, saying that you and Gu Hanjian are rare and peerless geniuses, and asked me to cultivate you more."

Ye Fan's heart moved. It turned out that it was the old dean Mu Fengshan who recommended them to dean Cao of Donglai County Courtyard. No wonder Dean Cao treated him with special courtesy.

However, this happened a year ago, and it seems that Dean Cao didn't pay special attention to him.

Cao Hao knew what he was thinking, and continued with a smile, "Although Dean Mu asked me to train you, true peerless geniuses can never be trained, so I did not interfere with your cultivation! Just take the Ancient Cold Sword Generally speaking, he is the kind of truly born martial artist with a heart for martial arts. He does not need to be taught anything by others. He naturally knows how to practice martial arts by himself, relying entirely on self-study. The initial progress is slow, but once he enters Wuhou In the later stage, it is almost inevitable for him to break through King Wu. Now that Gu Hanjian has broken through the most difficult bloodline awakening, the road ahead will become smoother and smoother. Sooner or later, he will be King Wu within a hundred years, so the Gu family has long regarded him as the future Gu family The Lord cultivates."

"After entering the Wuhou Realm, Senior Brother Gu will inevitably become the King of Wu? Why is this?"

Ye Fan was shocked. At present, he has only been concerned about the cultivation of the Martial Master Stage, and has not cared about the further cultivation of the Martial King Stage. I didn't expect Dean Cao to mention the cultivation of King Wu.
