Chapter 646 - 646 The Country Lord's Plan
646 The Country Lord’s Plan
“Mr. Du, please follow me!” said Li Xiang with a smile.
He didn’t expect the wine spring to attract the wine ancestor who was hiding in the city. He chose to enter the Recruitment Hall without hesitation just to see what the unique wine item was.
Yang Mi and the others were also curious.
Even if they didn’t know much about wine, it was impossible for them not to know of Du Kang.
The group quickly walked to the garden and came to the wine spring.
“A pond. Spring water. This is wine spring! It was the legendary wine spring! I didn’t expect to find such a wondrous item here after searching for decades. I’m really blessed!”
The first time Du Kang saw the wine spring, he immediately guessed from the strange fragrance emitted by the spring water that it was the legendary unique item and the supreme treasure for making wine.
After he had brewed the Du Kang Wine, he discovered that if he had wanted to improve the wine, he had to find a way to find a better wine. He had heard people say that there’s spring water like wine in the mountains. It’s called the wine spring, and it’s not inferior to any wine.
Then, Du Kang went on the path of finding the wine spring to improve his winemaking skills.
Unfortunately, after decades, he had gained nothing. In the end, he had come to the Kingdom of Dawn because of the unification of the worlds.
He didn’t expect the joy to come so quickly and so suddenly. The wine spring here made Du Kang feel endless joy and excitement.
“If Mr. Du is willing to stay in the Kingdom of Dawn, then you can use the spring water in this wine spring to make an even more perfect Du Kang Wine,” said Li Xiang decisively.
He knew very well how tempting a wine spring was to a skilled winemaker. No one could resist it. Du Kang’s staying in the Kingdom of Dawn would bring too many benefits.
“I’ll stay. I’ll stay for sure. There’s a wine spring here, so I’m not going anywhere. I’m going to use the spring water to make my Du Kang Wine, and turn it into the true Du Kang immortal wine.”
Du Kang’s face revealed a kind of sincere expression. That was a kind of piety towards winemaking, a goal that he had been pursuing in his life.
With the wine spring here, he would never leave.
“Thanks, Mr. Du for joining the Kingdom of Dawn. I’m planning to set up a Wine Hall for you so that you can focus on making wine. What do you think?” said Li Xiang with a smile.
“No need, I just want to quietly brew wine. There’s no need to make a big fuss. Is there a place for me to stay in this palace? Just find me any place.” Du Kang shook his head and refused without any hesitation.
“Of course. The palace is very large, but there aren’t many people living there. It’s great that you’re willing to stay. It’s safe here, and no one will disturb you while you’re making your wine. You can completely focus on researching and making the new Du Kang Wine here,” said Li Xiang.
It was the best that he could stay here.
“Country Lord, the wine I want to make is not like ordinary wine. The ingredients required are much more precious. For the grains, I need five types of spiritual rice, as well as various spiritual medicine, ginseng, lingzhi, and so on. The ingredients needed in winemaking would require the Country Lord to gather them. Most importantly, I need the best royal bee honey, rootless water, and thousand-year stalactite milk. I’m not sure if I can successfully make it. I wonder if the Country Lord is willing to let me try making the wine.”
Anyone among the large pile of heavenly treasures that Du Kang mentioned was extremely precious.
“Please rest assured, Mr. Du. I will prepare the wine ingredients you need as soon as possible. However, there was no rush for immortal wine. Before I collect all the materials, you can try to make Du Kang Wine from other grades. Even ordinary ingredients can be turned into a top-notch wine when brewed with the spring water of the wine spring.”
Li Xiang agreed to all his requests with a smile.
Although the materials were precious, they were not worth mentioning at all when compared to Du Kang.
“Alright, I’ll study the wine spring first. I’ve been looking for this unique item for my whole life. Now that I’ve finally found it, I must take a good look.” Du Kang’s eyes were completely fixed on the wine spring. He didn’t have the mood to say anything.
He had decided to stay here. He didn’t care about anything else as long as they didn’t disturb him while he was studying the wine spring.
“Country Lord, I didn’t expect to see the legendary ancestor of wine, Du Kang, this time. This is the person that countless scholars have yearned for their entire lives. The Du Kang Wine that he brewed is something everyone looks forward to!” said Huang Chengyan emotionally.
They were walking in the garden.
“I didn’t expect that a wine spring could draw him out too. It seems that there are many hidden people with special abilities. Although Mr. Du may not be the number one winemaker in the Myriad World Continent, he must be one of the top winemakers. If he’s given some time, he can make a peerless immortal wine that would shock the world. He’s a great talent. I don’t know how much benefit he’ll bring if he stays in the Kingdom of Dawn,” said Li Xiang meaningfully.
“Country Lord, do you mean…” A strange look flashed across Huang Chengyan’s eyes. He muttered, “What you value is not only his winemaking skills but also his lofty position among the people and even the scholars?”
“Elder Huang, you know me best.”
Li Xiang nodded and said with a smile, “Du Kang is not an ordinary person. His status has been imperceptibly promoted to an extremely high level. Du Kang Wine had an even higher status in the eyes of scholars and even talented people. A sip of Du Kang Wine would make countless geniuses and talents flock to it. In this world, many people loved wine. There aren’t many of those great poets who don’t like wine either!”
Take Li Bai for example. He was famous for his fondness for good wine.
A good wine had an incalculable attraction to scholars.
Especially Li Bai, who once said that if he could taste Du Kang Wine, he would rather get drunk in front of the wine jar. Unfortunately, he had never had a chance to drink Du Kang Wine in his life.
If these wine lovers knew that Du Kang was in the Kingdom of Dawn, it was no doubt that the attraction level of the kingdom to them would soar to an unimaginable level in an instant.
He wondered how many talents he could attract.
The benefits that those wine lovers brought were immeasurable.
“Country Lord, do you mean that we should secretly release the news that Du Kang is in the Kingdom of Dawn?” Huang Chengyan’s eyes lit up.
If he were to hear that Du Kang had appeared somewhere, he would find it unbearable and rush over for sure.
The reputation of Du Kang Wine was too great.
It could even be said that this was the first famous wine recorded in human history.
