Chapter 2405 Matured Wine "I hope they are ready today!" I said, walking into the wine storage; I have been coming here every day for nearly three or every three days seeing the time difference. More than four and half months passed outside since I have crafted these wines and stored them here to mature; fourteen months total, but the wine had not matured. It was extremely close when I checked last time three days ago, and I hope today will be the which. I had hoped that last time too, and the time before that, but today is important; very important and the good wine would help a lot. I appeared in front of the stacks of wine barrels, inhaling the wonderful woody smell mixed with the faint, aromatic smell of wine. It is just too good, compelling me to force open these barrels and take out this wonderful wine. I did not give in to the compulsion; instead gently took out the barrel from the stack and placed my hands on it before inserting my soul sense into the formation carved on the wines. The formation of the wine does not help in the maturation of wine; the process is all-natural without any interference. The formation only shows the state of the wine; this way, every time, I did not have open the barrel to check its state and lose the wonderful aroma. A few seconds later, my eyes flew wide open, and there was a big bright smile on my face. "Matured, it had finally matured," I said ecstatically; I had been waiting for this moment for a long. I had to spend a huge fortune on this wine and had a fear in my mind, that something would happen and it would spoil, but nothing of that sort had happened. Tuck! I did wait any longer and opened the smoke opening from the barrel; just as I did, its amazing aroma brough out, which instantly filled my body and made me filled like I had drank the wine. It begins to make me feel like I am sleeping in a flowerbed with her flowery earthly smells surrounding me. It is so comfortable that I do not want to open my eyes which I have closed unconsciously. Just the aroma of the wine had captured my senses and even gave faint benefits to my body and soul; I wondered what the real thing would do. I forcefully controlled my emotions and poured the red liquid into the glass, and came out of my core to enjoy the wine. I opened my eyes and had a wine glass in my hand, which I immediately took to my nose to enjoy its aroma. I inhaled its aroma once again and got mesmerized by it. I let myself enjoy it for a minute before I finally moved the glass toward my lips. Sip! The red liquid touched my lips, and I took a sip; the flavors burst into my mind, clouding it for everything else. When I came to myself, I analyzed the wine in my mouth carefully. The flavors of wine seem simple enough but once dug deep into the layers, they will see the complexity of it. The flavors are so complex that they made my mind buzz. Gulp! I could not hold back anymore and gulped down the wine; it flowed down from my throat and entered my stomach. I felt hot all over my stomach before the wines transformed into a flood of energy and spread all over my body. The energy is gentle, like the essence of flowers, and it had spread all over my body and soul before seeing inside it and disappeared. Within a few minutes, the wine glass in my hand became empty, and I couldn't help but feel slightly tipsy while my body felt like it had just walked out the best massage of its life. The wine is not only pleasurable to the senses but also provides me real benefits. If I consumed it regularly, within four months, I would have to make a breakthrough, reaching a peak in leader class, gaining the power of Peak Grandmaster. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖 Which are absolutely huge benefits; every Grandmaster would receive huge benefits drinking this wine and Masters even more. Though I think for them to drink, I will have to dilute it; the intoxication effects will be too much for them otherwise. I looked at the empty glass for a while before closing my eyes and once again appeared in the wine storage in my core. The wine had gained the first stage of maturity; it is not drinkable, which means it is time I bottle it. I lifted the barred and placed it on the artifact in the corner of the room; the light of the artifact enveloped it, and half a minute later, the wine bottles began to come out of it, filled with wine and wooden cork. The bottle also has a sticker that I had designed myself, which looked pretty good. Two minutes later, all the wine in the barrel had been bottled, giving me two hundred and ninety-six bottles. An expected number, and there are still more barrels, all of which would easily give me over twelve hundred bottles. I do not plan to bottle the other barrels; I would let them mature. The more they mature, the greater taste and benefits they will provide. I planned to let them mature for years and craft some more wine. I brought out the bottles toward the lake and placed them in the showcase but not before sacrificing one to Nero and Ashlyn, who had threatened to drink the whole wine if I did not provide them with the bottle. Sigh! I sighed with regret as I looked at bottles in a glass case. If today had not been an important day, I would have drank a whole bottle. I would drink a bottle in celebration if I got success today. Twenty-seven days have passed since the official beginning of the one thousand Grandmaster project, and today I will initiate the breakthrough of subjets into Grandmaster class. If I succeed, I will have glory and a chance to secure a future for my race. If I failed, then all I could see was the bleakness for me and my race.
