Chapter 90: Chapter 89: A Bowl of Aged Wine
“Alright.”
Qin Feng didn’t hesitate at all and nodded in agreent.
He knew very well that the Snake Demons and the Giant Crocodile were of average quality not unlike the White Egret Demon, which was not only beautiful but could also be cultivated as a flying Riding Tool. Those Snake Demons and the Giant Crocodile weren’t of much use to the average Cultivator, making them hard to sell. Steward Zhou was willing to take them off his hands, truly a favor done for the sake of the Sect.
“I’ve also collected so Spiritual Materials and Spiritual dicines, please take a look at those as well.”
Saying this, he took out those materials from his Storage Bag and asked Steward Zhou to give him an estimate.
Steward Zhou casually flipped through the items, most of which were materials from Demon Beasts, such as scales, claws, sharp teeth, and Beast Bones. There were also more than twenty types of Spiritual dicines, a Hive from a Demon Bee, a piece of Wood Heart from a hundred-year-old peach tree, and so pale white Beast Bones.
...
He had dealt with these common Spiritual Materials for years and could estimate their value at a glance, quickly offering a price.
Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion wouldn’t cheat their own Disciples in this regard. So, the price they offered was not just fair but even higher than what Qin Feng would get elsewhere, which greatly satisfied him.
“One late-stage White Egret Demon, five middle-stage, three early-stage, and eight juvenile White Egrets, worth a total of two thousand four hundred Spirit Stones.
Three middle-stage Snake Demons and two Giant Crocodiles, I’ll give you five hundred Spirit Stones. For the rest of the materials and Spiritual dicines, except for these two which are still decent, the rest are quite common, so I’ll round it up for you, let’s say six hundred Spirit Stones, making a total of three thousand five hundred Spirit Stones for you.”
Steward Zhou took the Spiritual Beasts and materials and promptly gave him the Spirit Stones, then encouragingly said to Qin Feng, “You’ve done well. It’s rare for an Outer Disciple to have such a bounty all at once.
Now that you’ve reached the late stage of Qi Refining and have so many Spirit Stones, focus on your Cultivation after you go back, aim to push your Cultivation even further. Perhaps one day you can even enter the Inner Sect.”
“Thank you very much, I appreciate your auspicious words.”
Qin Feng quickly expressed his thanks and then didn’t delay any further, taking his leave to avoid holding up the business.
However, he didn’t leave the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion but instead went to check out the area where Magic Artifacts were sold. Eventually, he picked a superior-grade Demon Slaying Saber, quite popular among the Outer Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.
As its na suggested, the saber was designed specifically for slaying Demon Beasts.
But the reason why the Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect used this kind of Magic Artifact was mainly that the Demon Slaying Saber was particularly suited for harvesting materials from the bodies of Demon Beasts.
Whether it was for skinning, cutting at, boning, or even chopping off horns, it was extrely useful. In fact, the Demon Slaying Saber was an essential item for the Sect’s Disciples when traveling outside.
Although it was quite expensive, costing three hundred sixty Spirit Stones, which was more than what he got for the late-stage White Egret Demon, he didn’t hesitate for a second to buy it considering he had just made a tidy profit and was feeling quite wealthy.
He then went to the Elixir Pill area and bought a bottle of Expanding Vein Pills to strengthen his ridians and a bottle of Protecting Veins Pills to improve their resilience. The two Elixir Pill bottles cost him another one hundred eighty Spirit Stones.
While he lanted the high cost of Elixir Pills, he was also secretly relieved that, to a large extent, he didn’t rely on Elixir Pills for Cultivation, nor did he need to feed his Spiritual Beast Beast Spirit Pills to enhance its Cultivation. Otherwise, given the number of Spirit Stones he had, it wouldn’t take long before they were all squandered.
After buying the Magic Artifact and Elixir Pills, he took a stroll in the Spiritual Beast Area.
And then, he could only leave the Spiritual Beast Area with a resigned look on his face.
He couldn’t afford the Spiritual Beasts that he liked, and he had no interest in the cheaper ones.
The main reason was that he wanted to find a Spiritual Toad with an impressive Innate Divine Ability, which would give the Swallowing Sky Toad more formidable powers. Unfortunately, none of the Spiritual Toads with strong Bloodlines were within his budget.
Leaving the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion, Qin Feng strolled leisurely through the marketplace, occasionally pausing to look at the various shops lining the streets and observe the multitude of Spiritual Objects within, broadening his horizons.
In the year since he had joined the Sect, he spent his days either rushing to the Preaching Pavilion to listen to teachings or to the Scripture Pavilion to read books, learning various types of knowledge, practicing various spells. He had only visited the marketplace a few tis, and even then, it was always in such haste that he never really had the chance to truly wander around the marketplace.
Now that he had ti, and more importantly, having just made a good sum of money from selling off his items, he decided to stroll through the marketplace to relax his mood.
Walking down the streets of Qingyun Square, Qin Feng felt as if his eyes were being opened to a whole new world. He had not expected the Cultivation World to hold so many exotic and unusual things, with so magic artifacts and elixir pills having effects that were simply astonishing.
After wandering around for a half-day, Qin Feng suddenly caught the enticing scent of sothing delicious.
Turning his head in the direction of the aroma, he saw a not too large nor too small inn at the street corner ahead, with the sign “Drunken Immortal Inn” hanging above the entrance.
Qin Feng touched his stomach. During those few days in the Mist Swamp, he had hardly eaten anything proper, and it had been a while since he had a Spiritual al. The scent wafting from the inn triggered a craving in his stomach, and so he embarrassingly followed the tantalizing aroma over to the establishnt.
The Drunken Immortal Inn was an inn that had been passed down through generations. Not only were its Spiritual als exceptionally tasty, but its signature Spiritual Wine, the Drunken Immortal Brew, was also irresistible, often drawing old custors to support the business.
It was not yet noon, so there weren’t many patrons inside the inn, with only a few tables occupied.
Qin Feng picked out a table by the window and sat down. When the waiter ca over to serve him, he glanced over the nu hanging on the wall. He didn’t dare order the house specialties, as they were too expensive—each dish costing dozens of Spirit Stones—a price point not ant for a re Qi Refining Master to squander casually.
He ordered several ordinary Spiritual als and a small pot of Drunken Immortal Brew, intending to sample the flavor of this renowned wine.
Shortly after, the waiter brought up the dishes he ordered. Qin Feng tasted a few bites. The Spiritual als were indeed delicious, and the Spiritual Wine had a sweet and llow taste, although the specific kind he ordered was rather ordinary and sowhat spicy.
As he was concentrating on his al, he suddenly heard a tender and childlike voice: “Innkeeper…”
Qin Feng looked up upon hearing the voice and saw a cute little girl of about four or five years old, with a rosy, lovable face, standing in front of the counter looking up, her chubby hands holding up a Spirit Stone high: “Give a bowl of old wine, and a dish of fennel peas too.”
“Pfft…”
Qin Feng nearly spat out his food.
Whose little lass was this, coming here to be amusing?
The old shopkeeper, who had been busy tallying up accounts with an abacus behind the counter, stood up and peered out. He then saw a plump little girl standing at the counter, her large, sparkling eyes expectantly fixed on him.
“Whose child are you, and how co you’re by yourself? Where are your parents?” the old shopkeeper asked.
“My sister is buying sothing across the street. I got hungry when I slled the scent from your shop, so I ca over,” replied the soft and cute little girl.
“Oh, what would you like to eat? I’ll have soone make it for you,” the old shopkeeper spoke kindly. He didn’t make things difficult for the adorable little girl. Instead, he asked gently.
“I heard from Daddy that your Drunken Immortal Inn’s old wine is very famous. I want to try it,” said the little girl, holding up the Spirit Stone in her hand. “And I would like a dish of fennel peas to go with the wine.”
