Chapter 263 I Like You
His Wine Making talent is finally being useful again. After all, a medicinal wine is something that contains both medicine and wine.
It's been a while since he brewed any wine. However, Long Ming already formed many recipes in his mind. And now, he found the opportunity to do experiment with one.
The wood spirit orb as the main ingredient, the ancient medicinal herbs would act as supplements. By his calculations, it should be able to heal Elder Bai's injuries.
Or at least, give her chance to fight without exhausting her lifeforce and killing her midway.
The Heavenly Urn of Frozen Flame was perfect for this. Not only does it enhance the quality of wine and can easily blend or separate flavors, but it can also speed up the time inside it by consuming spirit stones. It's a perfect time chamber, with Long Ming can easily control time as he wishes. One day outside, and more than a hundred years would pass inside it.
As the last orb fell into the urn, Long Ming closed the lip and let it stay within a pile of spirit stones. " I have already done what I could have. Now, All I can hope is that it will work."

' Using the materials to craft items is the same as consuming. Well, This got used faster than I thought.'
' Let's see how much would remain after Elder Bai consumes it. The remaining portion can be used as healing medicine during the battle.' " Senior Brother, Are you ok?"
" Ah, Yingying, I am alright." Long Ming smiled as he looked at her.
" With a bit more, I will become a Grandmaster Runemaster. However, I keep failing to make Earth grade talismans." She sighed.
" You need to increase your spiritual qi to craft Earth grade talismans. However, that's not the main issue." Long Ming's voice became serious.
" To create a talisman of Earth grade and beyond, not only do you need to understand the complex rune formations, you also need to comprehend the intent of the talisman you are crafting."
" For example, Assume you want to create the Earth grade Raging Tempest Talisman. To craft it, you need to put the Intent of Wind into your talisman. Else, it won't work."
" But of course, It doesn't mean you need to comprehend it fully. After all, That would mean a runemaster to comprehend thousands of intents. All you need to do is to imitate its power and use your spiritual qi to make a stamp of it."
" Then use the stamp while making talismans. It will work."
Watch, comprehend, and inscribe, that's the rule of rune inscription. And as time passes, the basic seven runes will once again appear before the high level runemasters, in a much more complex yet necessary way.
Long Ming knew that Luo Yingying was a rare talent in the field of rune inscription. Therefore, All she needs is a little push and she will be able to soar.
' Only if I could find something like the inheritance of a runemaster or something…' However, despite that, Long Ming taught Luo Yingying the entire day. After all, he didn't have much to do other than the urn was still processing the wine.
Finally, when the Long Ming felt it was already finished, he opened the urn. A burst of fragrance drifted out from the urn, making Luo Yingying feel like she was standing in an ancient forest.
" This…This feels like…So fresh and ancient. It's like I am walking in a deep mountain, surrounded by primordial trees towering to the sky."
" The breath of the wild, it's entering my pores." Luo Yingying closed her eyes as she mumbled. " If one has enough of this, they can comprehend the Intent of Wood from this."
" Indeed…This does feel pretty amazing." Long Ming looked at the crystal emerald liquid in the urn as he mumbled.
He could feel that the wine had already been fermented beyond a thousand years. And the true qi inside it was something simply outrageous.
Without waiting longer, Long Ming held the urn and walked out. Meanwhile, Luo Yingying didn't even notice as she was already immersed in the notes and insights provided by Long Ming.

" Child, You have returned."
" Elder Bai He, I have brought something for you. I wonder if it would work?"
Saying that, Long Ming opened the lid of the urn, making the rich energy of Wood and Vitality burst out from it. A surprised gasp echoed as the urn floated.
" This…is wine? How intriguing. I have never seen any wine possessing such strong vitality."
" Elder Bai, Please have as much as you want and heal your wounds. It would be best if you ascend to Dao Refining Realm."
" This…This might be a bit far fetched. However, Let's see…"
Not long after, an alarmed voice echoed in Long Ming's ears.
" Long Ming, Where did you get this wine? Are you sure I can have as much as I want?"
" You are free to do it, Elder Bai." Long Ming grinned. " I just want you to return to your prime."
However, after Long Ming said that, he didn't get any replies. But the Heavenly Urn of Frozen Flames vanished. So Long Ming took that as approval from Elder Bai He.
" Now, The next step…"
After thinking for a moment, Long Ming turned around and left to talk to Elder Hua."
When Elder Hua heard Long Ming's proposition, he couldn't help but get surprised.
" You brat, You are really cunning, don't you?"
" Hehe, I will take that as a compliment." Long Ming cupped his fist with amusement.
" However, How did you know the northern gate was going to get breached first? You know the traitor within the sect?" " Not yet." Jun Tianyun shook his head. " However, we can use this opportunity to bait the fish out of the water."
" Other than that, I have another idea to easily isolate the new disciples." Long Ming grinned. "' How about we send them to the Azure Sun Secret Realm?"
" They would simply believe it's a secret realm within the Four Seasons Valley, not the Azure Sun Secret Realm. And if they dare to venture out of the safe zone, they will get killed by demonic beasts."
Hua Tianci rubbed his chin as he nodded. " Not bad, In this way, We would be able to protect our disciples while striking back with all our might."
" Also, I believe Elder Huang should also get a True Imperial Weapon for himself. He needs to launch a surprise attack, dealing the main enemy force a devastating strike."
" You are Elder Huang are our trump cards as they probably know about Elder Bai. Therefore, we must take advatage of it."
" Very well, We shall put your plan into the action. Thankfully, It won't be too hard."

Late evening, Long Ming was making a few final preparations before Mu Qinglian descended before him.
Long Ming was about to greet her in his usual playfulness, but looking at her face, he paused.
" Senior Sister, Are you alright?"
" Why…Why didn't you tell me first." Mu Qinglian's body trembled as she looked at Long Ming with an aggrieved expression.
Long Ming understood that Mu Qinglian wasn't actually angry with him. She was just pained and disappointed that the sect was going to face such trouble because of her.
" Senior Sister, Don't worry about this. Just like all previous troubles, we would also cross this."
" But…I just feel…Only if I was stronger…Only if." Mu Qinglian was in secluded cultivation before Ming Yuexin informed her of the news. When she heard it, she was filled with anger, shock, and pain.
" Senior Sister, This is not your fault." Long Ming spoke in a deep voice. " You are merely a catalyst, which simply sped up what was supposed to happen."
" Sky Martial Tower long has been eyeing on Four Seasons Valley. All you gave them is a reason to attack."
"So, rather than breaking up like this, why not strengthen yourself, Senior Sister?" Long Ming looked at her. " Do you want to brood over fate or do you want to gather your anger and unleash on your enemies?"
Mu Qinglian remained silent for a moment before rubbing her eyes and adjusting her face,
" Haaah…I was just a bit…Emotional about everything happening right now." She sighed as her eyes flashed with a cold glint.
" But you are right. It's not my fault. I would rather answer them with my sword than my tears."
" Thank you, Long Ming, for lifting my mood." Turning around, Mu Qinglian looked at the horizon. " I just realized that even after so many months…I never confessed my true feelings to you."
" A part of me was unwilling to show my vulnerability, another part was jealous of seeing you with other women."
" And a part was possessive…Because you supposed to be mine…mine only."
" But the truth is, I like you."
Long Minh's expression became odd when he heard that.
" Huh?"
