With the help of Jiu Jin, Jiang Beiran chatted with Lu Yangyu for a long time, and also had a general understanding of Lu Yangyu's formation skills.
He could tell a lot of useful knowledge about defensive formations that opened Jiang Beiran's eyes, but his level dropped a lot in an instant when he talked about other types of formations.
This made Jiang Beiran understand that in the sixteen arts of Xuanmen, not only are there few masters who master multiple profound arts, but even some masters who are only proficient in one profound art will appear "partial subject".
Take array as an example.
There are many types of monitoring formations, defensive formations, offensive formations, environment-changing formations, and so on.
Jiang Beiran thought he knew everything, but after talking with Lu Yangyu this time, he realized that it was not.
Many formation masters are only proficient in one type of formation. When arranging formations that they are not good at, both the formation speed and the effect are worlds apart.
In addition, Jiang Beiran also read a message from it.
That is, even within the six countries of the Central Plains, formation masters seem to be very rare.
This Lu Yangyu has not reached the eighth-rank formation master, and is only good at defensive formations, but he can already sit in the formation hall in a top family like the Shi family.
It can be seen that even a top family like the Shi family cannot recruit higher-end formation masters, let alone other families or sects.
'No wonder that Wuxiang Daoist accepted me as an apprentice as soon as he saw me... It seems that even in the Six Kingdoms, the formation master is a very popular profession. '
"Gudu... Gudu... Gudu..." After pouring down another bottle of Qiyun Qinglu wine, Lu Yangyu let out a mouthful of alcohol and said, "Brother, you've exhausted all your old feelings, so you plan to keep listening?"
He took out another jar of Qiyun Qinglu wine from the Qiankun ring, put it in front of Lu Yangyu and said, "I'm waiting for my brother to talk about the connection of formations."
"Say a fart!" Lu Yangyu slapped the table with his palm, "Brother must tell you the truth? I'm only proficient in the defense method, and the other formations are half a bucket of water, and I don't understand it at all. What kind of connection? Hiccup !"
After belching, Lu Yangyu scratched his somewhat messy hair and continued: "What do you think is the difficulty of connecting the formations? Isn't it that you have to be proficient in various formations? The method of connection or something is naturally researched."
After listening to Lu Yangyu's words, Jiang Beiran almost spat out the words "Fucking out of research".
However, Lu Yangyu's words woke him up. Originally, if he wanted to study the connection of formations, the minimum requirement was to be proficient in all types of formations, and this seemed to be a very high threshold for most formation masters.
'Isn't this embarrassing...'
Jiang Beiran originally planned to find a colleague to communicate with him in depth to see if he could inspire some inspiration. Now, it seems that it is difficult to find a colleague who can communicate with him in depth on the formation connection.
'Is this the invincible loneliness? '
Now that Lu Yangyu talked about this point, Jiang Beiran naturally couldn't ask any more questions.
However, after this conversation, Jiang Bei has learned a lot. Although he didn't find anyone to communicate with in depth, he has a certain understanding of the "industry ecology" of the mages.
Picking up the wine bowl and toasting Lu Yangyu, Jiang Beiran wiped his mouth and said, "I still want to listen to the teachings of my elder brother, what if you are modest?"
"I think you want to be empty-handed..." Lu Yangyu finished speaking and glanced at the Qiyun Qinglu wine in his hand, "Okay, it's not empty-handed, hey, hey, I've finished all I can say now, you should talk about your Is it the method of distillation? How can you make the wine so mellow and intoxicating?"
"This is actually not difficult. Since brother wants to hear it, then brother will tell you in detail."
In fact, the wine on Xuanlong Continent has the same problem, that is, the alcohol content is too low. Even ordinary people can drink ordinary turbid wine without getting drunk, because the alcohol content is at most one or two percent That's all.
Many winemakers use mycorrhizal fungus produced by natural fermentation of leftover rice as koji, so naturally no high-concentration wine can be brewed.
Of course, there are so many people who love wine in this world, and naturally many people have been trying to improve it, but Jiang Beiran sees that the best wine is just so-so.
Take the bottle of Ten Continents Spring that Lu Yangyu planned to entertain him at the beginning, it was a standard green wine with an alcohol content of 5% at most. It is good wine, usually only the rich or practitioners can drink it.
As for the spirit wine, what is improved is not the strength and taste of the wine, but the effect, so is there any spirit wine that can take both taste and effect into consideration? Yes, very rarely.
After all, even cultivators, few of them can afford to drink spiritual wine to satisfy their hunger on weekdays.
Poured some Qiyun Qinglu wine into a bowl, Jiang Beiran picked it up and fanned some of the wine with his hands, went to Lu Yangyu and said: "The so-called distillation is actually very simple, it is to refine the fermented wine making ingredients many times , to extract the high-concentration wine inside, and this extraction method is called distillation."
"Hey! It sounds so gluttonous, tell me quickly, tell me quickly, what is the refining method." Lu Yangyu wiped his saliva and said.
"Haha, brother, don't worry, this distillation method is divided into solid distillation and liquid distillation. I recommend liquid distillation, so I will focus on this."
After talking about the refining method, Jiang Beiran added: "The cooling of the wine vapor and how to collect the distilled wine are the two most important steps, which need to be carefully and carefully."
Lu Yangyu, who had already heard the drooling, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I'm the most careful about good wine. Just tell me, I promise to do it."
Taking out a pot-shaped object from the Qiankun Ring, Jiang Beiran handed it to Lu Yangyu and said, "Have you not given brother a greeting gift yet? Brother brother should like this condenser. Consider it a little bit of my heart."
After taking over the condenser, Lu Yangyu observed it for a while and asked, "How to use it?"
"I have a formula, brother, remember it well, every time the water of Tianhu Lake is steamed, put it two times, or three times, depending on the length of the wine and the temperature of the time, it will probably end when the flowers are scattered and the taste will be bland."
"But I'm afraid my brother doesn't understand this just because I'm talking about it. I'd better distill it on the spot and show it to my brother."
"Okay! Just wait for your words! I am very familiar with the curator of the wine pavilion, so I will go there to work. He is also a drunkard. As long as I build a bridge for you, I guarantee that you will get acquainted immediately , he has a lot of good recipes for top-quality spirit wine. With your ability, brother, how can you cheat a few copies? Go away! Brother will take you to fight the autumn wind!"
