Frozen Origin

Frozen Origin uses the yeast of a rare plant called Violent Rosefinch which is a 4th-rank Knight Crusader spiritual plant.

The high-quality yeast from the plant is then fermented for a little more than a month before it fully converts glucose into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Then, it is thawed after the yeast becomes silver in color.

Fifteen kilograms of said yeast, twelve liters of Origin Spring Water, and a block of Frozen Cloud Glacier are mixed together.

Then distilled four times a day for one whole week. Lastly, the wine liquid will be aged for two and a half years.

## Method of Preparation

"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.

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.

After the distillation process of the mixture, Jiu Shen opened the distilling barrel and took a whiff of the mixture lying inside.

"It smells like grapes but with a much stronger kick. I just need to age this one for two and a half years and it should be ready to be sold by then." Jiu Shen nodded to himself as he poured the mixture into a much larger cask. This time, it was a barrel meant for storing and aging wines.
