Emperor Elyk Silveria's exhausted eyes regained a hint of clarity after hearing the name "Lu Sulan".

He had seen her once coincidentally during his visit to the branch of the Alchemy Hall in his Silver Wing Empire. It was a few decades ago when he was still in his primes.

When he first saw Lu Sulan, Emperor Elyk was immediately attracted to her captivating beauty and glamour. But because of his pride as a monarch and a top expert, he refused to make the first move.

The flower hasn't even bloomed for a day when it wilted down. He chose to kill the sprouting emotion inside of him before it could even grow...

Up until now, Emperor Elyk couldn't forget his encounter with her...

'What could be her relationship with this Wine Master Jiu?' Emperor Elyk thought to himself as he let out a sigh.

"Your Majesty, do you wish to speak with Wine Master Jiu now?" Defender Duanmu asked.

The emperor thought for a moment before he shook his head. "Not at this moment. Just make sure that none of my three eldest sons will create trouble in his wine store. I can't even imagine the consequences of making an enemy out of that store..."

Defender Duanmu nodded his head in agreement. Indeed, all the people working in that store were experts at the same level as their emperor. Just their strength alone was enough to create a big wave in their Silver Wing Empire. How much more the unfathomable Wine Master Jiu himself?

The next day.

Jiu Shen went inside the Time and Space Chamber to start brewing the Frozen Origin. The time inside this place was accelerated by more than several hundred times the outside world!

The Time and Space Chamber was like a world of its own. There were lush greeneries, vast oceans, and small creatures living within. Almost everything needed for brewing wines can be found here.

The brewing tools inside the Time and Space Chamber were almost identical to the ones in a technological world. Just that there were arrays carved on these sets of equipment that served the purpose of enhancing the ingredients' quality.

Jiu Shen then took out the ingredients in brewing the Frozen Origin and placed them neatly in front of him.

"The first part of the brewing process was the making of yeast using the Violent Rosefinch." Jiu Shen closed his eyes to recall the brewing process of the wine. He then grabbed several handfuls of Violent Rosefinch leaves and placed them inside a cask.

He no longer bothered to check the material used to make the cask since Jiu Shen already knew that it must be another God-rank wood...

The leaves of a Violent Rosefinch had a distinct smell that was almost similar to grapes. Just that the former tasted bitter when eaten raw.

Jiu Shen didn't throw away the stem of the Violent Rosefinch since it was the most important part of the whole plant. Although it was thorny and difficult to handle, it will be easy on the hands of Jiu Shen who already had the process engraved inside his brain.

"First, I have to extract the juices in the stem before pouring it inside the cask." Jiu Shen cut the stems into smaller pieces using one of the knives from the Eternal Knife Set.

He then put the cut stems inside a huge glass before covering the opening with a glass cover.

With a casual snap of his fingers, the array engraved on the glass lit up causing it to shake a bit.

"Whir! Whir!

The glass emitted a whirring sound as the arrays engraved inside of it crushed the stems into finer pieces.

The whirring sound subsided when only a light green fluid remained from the former thorny stems.

Jiu Shen did this process to all the cut stems before he gently poured the light green fluid inside the cask.

The viscous fluid mixed with the leaves of the Violent Rosefinch laid inside the cask.

"I just need to fill this cask until it's one-fourth full." Jiu Shen said as he poured the remaining light green fluid inside the wooden barrel with a calm but serious look.

"That should be enough. With the accelerated time inside the Time and Space Chamber, I only need to wait for an hour for the fermenting process of this fluid."

The Violent Rosefinch was a peculiar ingredient. During the process of making yeast out of its juices, the fluid will solidify and becomes silver in color.

After an hour, Jiu Shen opened the cask and was greeted by a jelly-like substance that was silver in color. He already expected this to happen so he wasn't surprised.

He then lifted the entire cask and poured the jelly-like yeast into another cask with a strainer on top of it. Jiu Shen still had to separate the leaves of the Violent Rosefinch from the mixture since he only needed to absorb its aroma.

After less than a minute, the jelly-like yeast melted and turned to liquid once again. The silver liquid then slowly poured down the new cask.

The mixture fizzed as the carbon dioxide from the melted yeast escaped its way upwards.

Jiu Shen took away the strainer which had the leaves of the Violent Rosefinch and discarded it.

"Next, add twelve liters of Origin Spring Water."

After that, Jiu Shen grabbed a plain-looking bottle. This was the same bottle that he used to contain the Origin Spring Water.

Slowly, he poured the dull but golden Origin Spring Water inside the cask and mixed it with the silver liquid yeast. The result was a liquid that was green gold in color, but it would only remain like that for a few minutes. Later on, it will turn entirely 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 on the mixture.

"The next thing to do is to distill the mixture four times a day for one whole week." Jiu Shen muttered as he activated the array carved on the cask.

The array on that cask would do the distilling process on its own. All Jiu Shen had to do was wait for it to finish its job.

"After all of this, the last thing to do is to age the resulting liquid for two and a half years.
