"What's wrong, little girl? Is it too good to drink?" Mo Danyan asked with a laugh as he saw Mo Qingchen stunned.

  Mo Qingchen hastily swallowed the spiritual wine in his mouth and nodded: "En, delicious."

  But in her heart, she was secretly disappointed. The flavor of this fine wine seemed to be inferior to the wine from her own gourd!

  Later on, Mo Qingchen felt that this wine was different from the wine in the gourd.

  The liquor was just swallowed, and a warm and cool breath rose up continuously, then kept wandering in the body. Every time it passed through a place, the skin of that place became comfortable, as if every pore was singing.

  Mo Qingchen was so absorbed in this wonderful feeling that he forgot where he was, and only felt a sudden craving for food, reaching out to grab the wine jug.

  Mo Danyan saw Mo Qingchen's face flush, her expression dazed as she reached out to grab the wine jug. With a loud "pa", he slapped her hand and said: "Little drunkard, you can't drink anymore!"

  Mo Qingchen suddenly came back to himself, his face flushing red with embarrassment as he called out "Grandfather".

  Mo Danyan laughed and said: "Girl, you're drinking spiritual wine for the first time. It's only natural that it clears your mind and purifies your lungs. Later on, you won't have this reaction anymore. However, you are still a mortal now, so you can only drink just a small amount."

  Mo Qingchu looked at the wine jug with a hint of disappointment and said, "Grandfather, didn't you say that the Spirit Gathering Pill you gave me last time could only be taken after I reached the Refining Qi stage? Why can I drink this spiritual wine now?"

  Mo Danyan poured himself a cup of spiritual wine, downed it in one gulp, and said with his eyes narrowed: "This is the wonder of spiritual wine. Girl, remember that those heavenly treasures, precious medicinal materials, etc., are not what ordinary people think they are - eating them won't bring people back from the dead or turn white bones into flesh. On the contrary, most ordinary people who eat them will explode and die. Those spiritual herbs and fruits contain spiritual energy, but their nature is violent and mixed, so even we cultivators will be injured by those spiritual energies if we eat them, unless it's a few varieties with gentle and harmonious properties."

  Mo Qingchen really heard this statement for the first time, and he hurriedly perked up his ears with a serious face looking at Mo Danyan.

  Mo Danyan continued: "Only when refined into a dan medicine, can the cultivator take it to increase their cultivation or for other various purposes. This is also why alchemists are highly sought after in the Cultivation Realm. As for ordinary people, the vast majority of dan medicines are unbearable. However, liquor brewed with spiritual fruits or spiritual herbs is an exception. Although ordinary people cannot drink much, drinking a small amount appropriately can have endless wonderful effects..."

  Mo Danyan spoke as he drank the spiritual wine, while Mo Qingchen secretly swallowed his saliva and gazed at the wine jug in Mo Danyan's hand with envy. He thought to himself that he also had good wine, although it didn't have that magical effect, but its taste was even better. Tonight, he must drink to his heart's content!

  Mo Danyan seemed to notice Mo Qingchen's gaze, pinched Mo Qingchen's face and said: "Girl, don't think about the old man's spiritual wine anymore. If Grandpa says so, you should hurry up and cultivate properly, don't waste this rare fine wine."

  Mo Qingchen understood the meaning behind Mo Danyan's words, and hastily thanked him. He didn't even bother to eat dinner, but instead rushed into his own room, jumped onto the window-side couch, and began meditating with his eyes closed.

  The liquor entered her belly, clearing her mind and cleansing her lungs. Her heart, once filled with dust, became extremely calm. With one exhalation, one inhalation, three long breaths, two short ones, slowly, her breathing seemed to harmonize with some kind of mysterious frequency.

  Mo Qingchen only felt that the originally pitch-black scene in front of him slowly brightened up, countless light points twinkling, as if the black curtain was suddenly filled with stars.

  It's spiritual energy, she has already taken the first step of guiding the energy into her body, and sensing the existence of spiritual energy!

  Mo Qingchen's heart was filled with a burst of wild joy, and then everything went black before his eyes. Uncontrollably, he opened them again.

  She sighed in frustration, still not calm enough.

  Mo Qingchen closed his eyes again, slowly adjusting his breathing to the previous rhythm, and indeed, flickering light spots appeared in front of him once more.

  She recited the familiar incantation, trying to draw in the scattered light spots between heaven and earth into her body, but found that they were like mischievous children, each one giggling and running away as soon as they touched her body.

  Unknowingly, an hour had passed, and Mo Qingchen helplessly opened his eyes.

  "Let's go eat something first." Mo Qingchen muttered to himself and then walked out.

  Mo Qingchen walked into the hall and was taken aback. Yun Zhi supported her chin with one hand, nodding slightly.

  Hearing the noise, Yun Chi opened her eyes and said: "Miss, you've finished your cultivation, I'll go get your meal."

  Before Mo Qing could say anything, Yun Chi suddenly walked away like the wind and returned in a short while with a tray of steaming hot food.

  Mo Qing's stomach growled uncontrollably, and she cleaned her hands to take over the chopsticks wrapped in a white handkerchief from Yun Zhi. "Sister Yun Zhi, thank you for your hard work. In the future, I'll cultivate again, so you won't have to wait."

  Yun Chi frowned and said, "Miss, what are you talking about? Serving Miss well is Yun Chi's duty. Fifth Master said that after practicing for a while, Miss will definitely get hungry. This meal has been kept warm by Yun Chi using the small stove in the kitchen, very convenient. Oh right, this peach was given to you by Fifth Master through Yun Chi, and he said you can only eat one after dinner."

  Yun Zhībiān said as he picked up a plate of peaches from the corner of the table and brought it over.

  Mo Qingchen looked at the white porcelain plate with the white and red peaches that looked plump and juicy, and felt a warmth in her heart.

  Mo Qing dust wind rolled up the remaining clouds, after finishing dinner, picked up a peach and started gnawing on it.

  "How sweet!" Mo Qingchen sighed, it was her first time eating peaches from the peach tree in the yard after being here for three days.

  "Of course, that peach tree is over a hundred years old. Wu Lao Ye often waters it with water infused with spiritual grass, so I suppose the peach tree has some spirituality too, even if it hasn't become a spirit itself. The fruit it produces must be exceptional." Yun Chi said proudly.

  Mo Qingchen swallowed the peach flesh in his mouth and said: "Yunzhi sister, you know a lot."

  Yunzhi smiled and said: "I heard it from my sister."

  "Yunzhi sister, do you have any other sisters?" Mo Qingchen asked.

  Yun Chi looked at Mo Qingchen with a smile and said, "Yes, Yun Chi is the second in line at home, and there's an older sister named Yun Shan above me. My sister is very capable, she's the personal maid of Ninth Miss! Ninth Miss is the most famous person in our clan, and at just ten years old, she——"

  Yun Chi seemed to feel that he shouldn't be praising others in front of Mo Qingchen, so he awkwardly stopped talking.

  Mo Qingchen smiled lightly and said, "Yunzhi sister, I've long heard about the 9th sister's prowess. When I saw her that day, I felt that her reputation was well-deserved. Please continue, Yunshan sister is the 9th sister's personal maid, how would she know about things at my grandfather's place?"

  "Because Ninth Miss, although she rarely comes into contact with others, happens to like eating the peaches from the peach tree in Old Master Wu's courtyard. Just a few days before you arrived here, she even had my sister come to Old Master Wu's place to beg for a basket of them. Later, when I became your personal maid, my sister joked that it would be more convenient for us to beg for peaches from now on." Yunzhi said.

  "Yunzhi sister, have you eaten this peach before?" Mo Qingchen suddenly asked.

  Yun Zhi's face changed, and she suddenly knelt down with a thud, saying: "Miss, Yun Zhi would never dare to steal a kiss, the words just now were just jokes between sister and me..."
