Chapter 3 Golden Light Mantra
The Golden Light Mantra is a top-tier cultivation technique that combines physical and spiritual practice.
The entry barrier is low, but the potential is extremely high.
When used, it covers the body in golden light, instantly maximizing one's defensive capabilities.
However, it is not only a defensive technique; it can also be used for offense.
If one can cultivate to the point where golden light can be condensed into objects at will, then one can be considered to have reached the pinnacle of skill.
The system rewarded Gu Qianbei with ten years of Golden Light Mantra internal energy, directly raising his Golden Light Mantra cultivation to the peak of minor completion, just one step away from the great completion realm.
At this moment, Gu Qianbei made hand seals and muttered incantations.
"The profound origin of Heaven and Earth, the root of all Qi. Through countless eons of cultivation, I will attain my divine powers..."
As Gu Qianbei recited more and more incantations, the golden light within his body became increasingly dazzling, and a powerful force filled his entire body, giving him an indescribable feeling of comfort.
"Is this what power feels like? It's truly wonderful."
Gu Qianbei smiled slightly, and then the golden light dissipated.
He stretched out his right hand, and golden light once again condensed in his palm.
However, it was still a bit unfamiliar, and the golden light flickered and was extremely unstable.
But Gu Qianbei did not lose heart, and tried again and again.
A quarter of an hour later, the golden light had condensed into a golden sphere in his hand.
"I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to move the Golden Light Mantra out of my body."
Although Gu Qianbei said this, a hint of triumphant joy was on his face.
Then, he dispersed the golden sphere and picked up the chopsticks beside him.
With the activation of the Golden Light Mantra, a golden shield actually condensed on the chopsticks.
With a thought, Gu Qianbei caused the golden shield to transform into the shape of a dagger.
"Attaching golden light to objects can reduce the difficulty of materializing them. However, to truly master the Golden Light Spell, one still needs to condense golden light onto objects; this is merely a shortcut."
As Gu Qianbei spoke, he threw out the golden chopsticks in his hand, which struck a pillar ten feet away. The golden light dissipated, and the chopsticks were halfway embedded in the pillar.
"The power dissipates rapidly after the golden light leaves the body, which is an area that needs improvement."
Gu Qianbei's true Golden Light Mantra was naturally at the level of the Old Celestial Master.
However, reaching that level is still a long way off for him.
"Well, this is already a pretty good start. Let's keep brewing wine, and new good stuff will come out eventually."
Gu Qianbei smiled with satisfaction and then summoned the system panel.
Host: Gu Qianbei
Age: 23 years old
Occupation: Winemaker
Industry: A Thousand Sorrows
Wealth: 3.5 mace and 8 wen
Techniques: Nine Heavens Wine Transformation Technique, Golden Light Mantra
The recipe for Dragon Tiger Wine has been completed.
"We don't have much money left, we need to make some money as soon as possible."
Gu Qianbei frowned slightly as she looked at the little money she had left.
You can't make wine without money.
The better the wine, the more precious the ingredients required.
"This large jar of Dragon Tiger Wine should be able to sell for several dozen taels of silver, at which point we can begin brewing new wine."
Let's take a look at the wine list first and see what's suitable.
Gu Qianbei immediately summoned the wine catalog to check for the next suitable wine.
The "Thousand Wines Manual" divides the world's wines into five levels.
Fine wine, exquisite product, divine wine, celestial elixir, divine drink.
Dragon Tiger Wine is a fine wine, the simplest kind of good wine. The ingredients used in its brewing are very common, and the brewing method is not difficult. It offers excellent value for money.
The finest wines require a more complex process, and wines above the finest quality have extremely high requirements for the ingredients.
Only the finest natural ingredients can be used to brew this product.
"Given the current situation, let's choose a fine wine recipe and brew it. Making two more wines to sell is the right way to go."
With that in mind, Gu Qianbei quickly set his sights on a wine recipe.
"Sunflower Sun-Facing Brew is made with the finest sorghum liquor as a base, using the petals, stems, and seedless flower heads of midday sunflowers, blended and brewed using a secret method."
Its wine is extremely potent and yang in nature; drinking it can warm and nourish the body and dispel cold.
"Using the Nine Heavens Wine Transformation Technique to neutralize it can enhance the internal energy of the Supreme Yang Technique."
After reading the wine recipe, Gu Qianbei nodded in satisfaction.
"I remember there's a sunflower field on Cuiwei Mountain; I could go there tomorrow."
After finalizing the plan, Gu Qianbei went back to her room to sleep.
Early the next morning.
Tong Xiangyu had just woken up when Bai Zhantang dragged her to the entrance of Qianchou Si.
"Zhan Tang, is this wine from Qianchou Si really as good as you say? Is it absolutely necessary to buy it?"
Tong Xiangyu remained skeptical, believing that Bai Zhantang had simply grown tired of the inn's drinks before making such a suggestion.
"Shopkeeper, when have I ever lied to you? The wine in this tavern is excellent! I drank some yesterday, and it's almost as good as the wine I had in the palace before."
After Bai Zhantang finished speaking, he immediately covered his mouth and looked around guiltily.
Fortunately, it was still early, and even Xiaomi hadn't come out to work yet; there wasn't a soul in sight on the streets.
You lie to me all the time.
Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark, then asked with a hint of doubt, "You used to work in the Imperial Palace?"
Bai Zhantang gave an awkward smile and said evasively, "Let's not dwell on the past. Let's talk about buying the wine first."
Tong Xiangyu was unaware that Bai Zhantang was the Thief Saint at this time, but she knew that his past was not innocent. After all, he was someone who acted with the Thief God, so how could he be a righteous person?
Seeing that Bai Zhantang was unwilling to say more, Tong Xiangyu did not press him.
"Okay, let's buy the wine."
As Tong Xiangyu spoke, she knocked on the door of Qianchou Si.
A moment later, Gu Qianbei, dressed in a blue robe, opened the door.
"Manager Tong, Lao Bai, you're here early! Are you here to support my business?"
Gu Qianbei wore a businessman's smile, seemingly in a very good mood.
"Old Bai woke me up early this morning, saying he wanted to buy your wine. So I came to check it out. If it's really good, I'll definitely buy it."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't let Manager Tong down."
After downing a cup of Dragon Tiger Wine, Tong Xiangyu's eyes widened in surprise.
Although she was a woman, she came from the Longmen Escort Agency and was surrounded by escorts who loved wine, so she was also very knowledgeable about wine.
Such fine wine costs only one tael of silver, which is not expensive at all.
So he immediately approved the contract.
One large jar of Dragon Tiger Wine every month, each jar containing fifty taels.
The price was quite reasonable, so Gu Qianbei didn't haggle.
There's plenty of time ahead, and they'll have many more opportunities to collaborate.
"Manager Tong, it's a pleasure doing business with you. This jar of Dragon Tiger Wine is yours."
"It's so beautiful! Manager Gu, if you have any more good wines in the future, we can continue to cooperate."
Tong Xiangyu said happily.
"No problem."
After seeing Tong Xiangyu and Bai Zhantang off, Gu Qianbei closed the door, with a gourd full of Dragon Tiger Wine hanging from his waist, two sesame cakes in his arms, and a basket on his back, and headed towards Cuiwei Mountain.
Today, his goal is the sunflowers on the sunny slope of Cuiwei Mountain.
Half an hour later, Gu Qianbei arrived at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain.
"The feeling of having internal energy is really different. After walking for an hour, I didn't feel tired at all."
Alright, let's press on and head straight for the sunny slope!
