In the wine cellar.
The wine cellar was an important place in the Gu family. It was located in the center of the Gu family and was heavily guarded 24 hours a day. Most of the Gu family's annual income came from this wine warehouse, and there was an unknown amount of fine wine in it.
Li Yun and Gu Qingcheng walked hand in hand into a very ancient building. After being monitored and checked by many guards, Li Yun finally entered this extremely mysterious place.
In the same year, the price of spirit wine was far higher than spirit rings, because spirit rings could be used repeatedly, and spirit masters could inherit spirit rings to their juniors after death.
However, spirit wine was different. Spirit wine was a consumable item and could not be regenerated. Ten thousand year spirit wine would be used up sooner or later, so it was priceless.
However, Li Yun had never aged the spirit wine. He did not have much research on the spirit wine in this world. He believed that the spirit wine of the same year must have good and bad qualities. Therefore, he did not dare to act rashly. His power of time was equally precious. He would use less and less, and must use it on the spirit wine of the highest quality.
As soon as he entered the Gu family's wine warehouse, Li Yun was shocked by the Gu family's collection of spiritual wine. The amount of spiritual wine was too shocking. They were placed in rows on the wine racks. There were countless of them. There were large and small barrels. The year was written on each barrel, and it was even accurate to the month.
Judging from the year written on the barrel, the spirit wine here was generally a few years old. Presumably, the spirit wine with a higher age was not here and was hidden in a more secluded corner.
"This is the collection of our Gu family for thousands of years. It's all here. The Gu family's wine vault is divided into five levels. The good wine is all underground. The lower the level, the older the spirit wine is. The last level even has thousand-year-old spirit wine. However, I don't have the authority to bring you in. Only the ancestor has the authority to go down.”
Gu Qingcheng said proudly, pointing at the mountain of spirit wine around her.
Li Yun nodded. After looking around, he said,"The collection is indeed amazing. No wonder the Gu family is the largest spirit wine seller in the city.”
"I don't know much about spirit wine. Take me to the best bar here.”Li Yun went straight to the point.
Hearing that, Gu Qingcheng was stunned. She looked at him with a strange expression.
"What's wrong? Is there any difficulty?" Seeing Gu Qingcheng looking at him with a strange expression, Li Yun was confused. Could it be that the high-quality spirit wine was on the lower level and it was inconvenient to bring him down?
"When have you ever heard of the quality of spirit wine?”Gu Qingcheng smiled strangely.
"Hmm? There were thousands of ways to brew spirit wine. The spirit wine of the same year would definitely have a difference in strength, and naturally, there would be a difference in quality.”
Li Yun was stunned. Although he was a novice in the field of spiritual wine and had never understood the spiritual wine culture of this world, there would inevitably be differences in the same thing. If there were differences, there would be differences in quality. He did not think that he was wrong.
"I understand what you mean. There will naturally be differences between the wines brewed using different brewing techniques. However, when Spirit Masters purchase spirit wine, they usually only look at the year of the spirit wine. As for what kind of spirit wine it is, it is only for reference.”Gu Qingcheng smiled.
"Why?" Li Yun asked doubtfully. He had never bought spirit wine before, so he really didn't know about this problem.
"Because the age of the spirit wine in this world is inverse to its quality. The older the wine, the worse the quality, and the younger the spirit wine, the better the quality. Obviously, the effect of high-aged low-quality wine on spirit masters was greater, so all spirit masters never cared about the quality of spirit wine when they bought it.”
Seeing that Li Yun was still confused, Gu Qingcheng explained patiently,""The reason is very simple. 100,000 years ago, the spirit wine technology was just born, and the wine making technology was very immature. It was the worst time in the history of human wine making technology. The wine left during this period could only be high-aged and low-quality spirit wine.”
"Spirit wine technology will continue to mature over time. The current wine-making technology is the most developed in human history. However, no matter how high the quality of the wine brewed now is, how old will it be?”
"Therefore, for spirit wine, its age and quality must be inverse. You don't have to consider its quality when choosing spirit wine.”
Hearing this, Li Yun suddenly understood. Yes, the wine making techniques of the ancient people must be the worst, but the wine left behind by the ancient people must be very old today. For spiritual wine, it was impossible to have both age and quality.
However, he quickly thought of something, and his eyes lit up.
"Qingcheng, for example, I mean for example, if the wine brewed in the modern era is really a hundred thousand years old, how much more valuable would it be compared to the wine brewed in ancient times?”
Li Yun narrowed his eyes, and a faint light flashed in his small eyes.
"Is there a need to say? The wine brewed in the modern era was definitely a hundred times more valuable than the wine brewed in ancient times. The wine brewing techniques of ancient times were trash. They could not be compared to the wine brewing techniques of 100,000 years later. There was no comparison at all. In the same quality, modern spirit wine was invincible.”Gu Qingcheng answered without thinking.
"However, this situation is impossible. How can the wine brewed in modern times have the same age as the wine in ancient times? Unless someone can increase the age of the modern spirit wine. But was this possible? Gu Qingcheng chuckled.
