The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 64 Grieving the Frozen Origin
Emperor Elyk Silveria's tired eyes regained a bit of clarity after hearing the name “Lu Sulan”.
He had seen it once by chance during his visit to the branch of the Alchemy Hall in the Silver Wing Empire. It was a few decades ago when he was still in his prime.
When he first saw Lu Sulan, Emperor Elyk was instantly attracted by her charming beauty and charm. But because of his pride as a king and a top expert, he refused to take the first step.
The flower had not even bloomed for a day when it withered. He chose to kill the emotion that was growing inside him even before it could grow …
Until now, Emperor Elyk could not forget his meeting with him…
‘What does this have to do with Wine Master Jiu?’ Emperor Elyk thought inwardly as he sighed.
“Your Highness, do you want to talk to Wine Master Jiu now?” Defender Duanmu asked.
The Emperor thought for a moment before he shook his head. “No for now. Just make sure none of my three eldest sons will make trouble in his wine shop. I can't even imagine the consequences of making an enemy out of that store.”.
Defender Duanmu nodded in agreement. Indeed, everyone who worked in that shop was an expert at the same level as their emperor. Just their strength alone was enough to create a huge wave in their Silver Wing Kingdom. Let alone the unfathomable Wine Master Jiu himself?

Next day.
Jiu Shen walked into Space Time and Space to begin making Frozen Origin. The time inside this place was accelerated by over several hundred times the outside world!
Space Time and Space were like his own world. There were lush greenery, vast oceans, and small creatures living within them. Almost everything you need to brew wine can be found here.
The brewing tools inside Space Time and Space are almost identical to those in the tech world. It was just that there was an arrangement carved on this set of equipment that served to improve the quality of the materials.
Jiu Shen then took out the ingredients to make Frozen Origin and placed it neatly in front of him.
“The first part of the brewing process is the brewing of yeast using Violent Rosefinch.” Jiu Shen closed his eyes to recall the wine brewing process. He then took out a few handfuls of Violent Rosefinch leaves and placed them inside the barrel.
He no longer bothered to check the materials used to make the barrel because Jiu Shen already knew that it must be another God-level wood…
The leaves of Violent Rosefinch have a distinctive smell that is almost similar to wine. It's just that the marks taste bitter when eaten raw.
Jiu Shen did not discard the stem of the Violent Rosefinch because it was the most important part of the entire plant. Although it was thorny and difficult to handle, it would be easy in the hands of Jiu Shen who already had the process engraved within his brain.
“First, I have to extract the juice in the stem before pouring it into the barrel.” Jiu Shen cut his trunk into small pieces using one of the blades from the Eternal Knife Set.
He then inserted the cut rod into a large glass before covering the hole with a glass cover.
“Whir! Whirs!
The glass let out a whizzing sound as the array engraved within it smashed the stems into finer pieces.
The whooshing sound subsided when only a light green liquid was left from the former thorny stem.
Jiu Shen carried out this process onto all the trunks that were cut before he gently poured the light green liquid into the vat.
A thick liquid mixed with the leaves of Violent Rosefinch was placed inside the barrel.
“I just need to fill this barrel to a full quarter.” Jiu Shen said as he poured the rest of the light green liquid into the wooden barrel with a calm but serious look.
“It's enough. With the accelerated time inside Space Time and Space, I only need to wait an hour for this liquid fermentation process.”
The Violent Rosefinch was a strange ingredient. During the process of making yeast from its juice, the liquid will solidify and become silver-colored.
After an hour, Jiu Shen opened the barrel and was greeted by a silver jelly-like substance. He had expected this to happen so he was not surprised.
He then lifted the entire barrel and poured the jelly-like yeast into another barrel with a sieve on it. Jiu Shen still had to separate the leaves of the Violent Rosefinch from the mixture as he only needed to absorb the aroma.
After less than a minute, the jelly-like yeast melted and turned into liquid once again. The silver liquid was then slowly poured into a new barrel.
The mixture fizzed as carbon dioxide from the melted yeast spewed upward.
Jiu Shen took out a sieve containing the leaves of Violent Rosefinch and threw it away.
“Next, add twelve liters Origin Spring Water.”
After which, Jiu Shen took out a bottle that looked ordinary. This was the same bottle he used to hold the Origin Spring.
Slowly, he poured the dull but golden Origin Spring Water into the barrel and mixed it with silver liquid yeast. The result is a liquid that is green gold in color, but will only remain that way for a few minutes. Then, it would turn completely into a golden liquid.
He then grabbed a small block of Frozen Cloud Glacier that was as big as a newborn's fist and casually threw it into the mix.
“The next thing to do is to filter the mixture four times a day for a full week.” Jiu Shen muttered as he activated the array carved in the barrel.
The array on the barrel will do the distillation process itself. All Jiu Shen had to do was wait for him to finish his task.
“After all this, the last thing to do is age the resulting liquid for two and a half years.
