"Tick."

The liquid in the spoon's handle slowly flowed into the barrel, letting out a clear ticking sound. This liquid was the highly purified liquor by distillation.

Xiao Tong walked over and watched this scene curiously.

As time passed, the wine slowly flowed out, leaving a small portion of the water inside.

Xiao Tong smelled the wine in the barrel and analyzed: "The smell is stronger, but the aroma is weaker."

"You're right. This way of purification will result in a portion of the fragrance being lost. This is the second best method." Hua Ruge said.

Seeing that the process was progressing smoothly, she did not delay and distilled five jars of wine at once.

These distilled extremely high concentration of wine, Hua Ruge only needed to take a sip to find it very spicy, after which she scooped some and gave it to Xiao Tong.

Xiao Tong also mimicked her actions and only took a small sip. Her family's wine making system would naturally drink a lot, and after tasting it, he said, "This wine is even stronger and better to drink. But it's just a little too spicy ?"

Seeing her nose and eyes wrinkling, Hua Ruge laughed: "Of course it's spicy, it's almost at 80 degrees."

Then, she poured the remaining three jars of wine into the large wooden barrel and mixed them with a wooden stick.

After doing all this, she gave a bit more to Xiao Tong and said, "Let's have a taste this time."

Xiao Tong took a sip, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared in his eyes: It's much better to mix them like this, the fragrance loss isn't serious, and the taste is strong, too nice to drink.

Hua Ruge also drank some, regardless of whether it was the taste or the taste, both were very good. She could guarantee that the people in this world would be as surprised by this taste as Xiao Tong was.

"Young master, can I have another drink?" Xiao Tong looked at Hua Ruge with hope.

Hua Ruge laughed, "I didn't think that a little girl like you would actually drink so much."

"I don't usually drink it much, it's just that it tastes so good." Xiao Tong did not hesitate to praise Hua Ruge's new wine.

Hua Ruge took out a small jar, filled it up and handed it over to her: "This is for you as thanks for helping me this whole day, but I'm sure you will have some fun doing this after all, you can't be greedy."

"Thank you, Young Master." Xiao Tong beamed.

Hua Ruge laughed. She looked at the girl who was greedy for drinks and felt that it was very intimate to see herself.

After Xiao Tong returned, he closed the door to the warehouse and took out his pill cauldron. He began to refine the immortal herbs, these low levelled herbs were extremely easy to refine.

Hua Ruge quickly transformed it into liquid form and removed the impurities, forming a crystal clear green medicinal liquid.

The medicinal liquid was the size of a fist and poured into the wooden bucket.

Afterwards, he had to place the wine in the vat and then place it in the wine cellar for a few days to complete the task.

In the end, there were six big jars and two small jars.

Hua Ruge decisively decided to leave a small jar for her to drink. She did not keep any more because she was short on money, and because this wine was good at reading, she would be drunk with just a few drinks, leaving so much was enough.

That night, she did not leave. Instead, she meditated in the storehouse for an entire night. The next day, she asked the Li family to store the wine in the wine cellar.

In a few days, the taste of the wine and the medicinal liquid would be better, and he could definitely get a good price for it.

After finishing all these, Hua Ruge returned back to the tavern to rest and prepare to collect more wine in a few days.

The Li family's old man drank the wine in Xiao Tong's hand and praised. Thus, with Hua Ruge's permission, he borrowed Hua Ruge's distiller.

The loss of alcohol and fragrance was extremely obvious, and the effect was completely different from when Hua Ruge distilled it.1

Hua Ruge was currently cultivating in seclusion in the inn, so he did not know what was happening.

It wasn't because she had suddenly become diligent, but because she was too poor and didn't have the money to go out. She could only quietly cultivate and wait for her wine to be brewed before taking it out to sell.

After enduring for five days, she felt that it was about time. Thus, she came to the Li family. At this moment, the old woman was the only one in front of the Li family's store.

"Why is it just you, Auntie, and Uncle Li?" Hua Ruge asked.

"Young master, you're here. Ever since one of your weapons produced such a good wine, my old man has been addicted to it. It's impossible for him to learn it no matter how long he spends in the storehouse." The old woman felt helpless about this.

"That's easy." Hua Ruge said and then smacked his forehead: "How could I forget to say that I have a good grasp of the situation. Aunt, I'll go take a look at the back."

"Alright." The old woman nodded, thinking that this child was truly kind-hearted.

As expected, when Hua Ruge arrived at the workshop, he saw that the family of four was surrounding the distillers, and there was a huge fire burning below them as they distilled.

The whole family was staring with furrowed brows.

"Young master, you're here." The first one to see Hua Ruge was Xiao Tong.

Hua Ruge nodded.

The Li family's old man heard and turned his head. He looked at Hua Ruge in confusion and said, "Young master, what kind of weapon do we use now? But the taste of the steamed wine is too strong."

"Blame me for forgetting to say that the fire cannot be big or small. It must be in the range of 70-100 degrees to ensure that the alcohol will vaporize and not evaporate immediately." Hua Ruge said patiently.

However, he still couldn't understand what they were talking about.

"I can understand why you said that I'm so angry, but what are seventy, a hundred?" The Li family's old man said in confusion.

"The fire." Hua Ruge crouched down and started to pull out firewood from the big fire. He used his Spiritual Sense to feel the temperature, and only when the temperature was about right did he stop drawing firewood.

As the few of them watched on, they began to seriously memorize what had happened.

They were not apothecaries who were unable to control the temperature of the flames. Thus, they could only rely on their own insights and experience, and this process was undoubtedly very long.

"So that's how it is. Master Hua, you really are a good person." Old Man Li said gratefully.

"There's no need to be so polite, if it wasn't for your family's help, I wouldn't be doing it so smoothly." Hua Ruge said again, "I'm here to take my wine, it's convenient, right?"

"It's convenient, Xiao Tong, take Master Hua to get it." The old man quickly said.

When Hua Ruge walked out of the wine cellar, the old man had already prepared ten bottles of thyme. He said to Hua Ruge: "Master Hua passed this kind of craftsmanship on to the Li Family, we are people who know our depth, and there are no other good things. Please accept that wine."

"Great sir, you're too courteous. I didn't do anything, so I won't accept this wine." Hua Ruge tactfully refused.

Previously, she needed wine to exchange for money, but now that she had successfully brewed it, she wouldn't be short of money to buy wine if she sold it. If she couldn't sell it, she wouldn't be able to finish so much wine.
