Clear Mist Flame Wine

Zhang Xingfeng and his two companions entered the magnificent and enchanting Free Holy City.

Yu You Holy City is a land of absolute freedom. There are no rulers or management here. Everything is self-governed. The only powers here are the branches of the great powers of the Spirit Realm or the strongholds of the four great divine beast races.

The currency used here is... Yuan Shi!

Thinking of this, Zhang Xingfeng, who was admiring the Free Holy City, smiled slightly, "Hmm, that Third Elder truly lives up to his reputation as an elder of the White Tiger Divine Beast Clan. His cultivation has reached the Low-grade Divine Human Realm, and he actually possesses nearly 100,000 Yuan Stones. The other White Tiger Clan he captured are mostly at the Immortal Emperor or Immortal Monarch level; they seem to be upper-level figures in the White Tiger Clan as well, adding up to a total of 50,000 Yuan Stones. That's enough Yuan Stones!"

Zhang Xingfeng learned from the Third Elder that both the Divine Beast Realm and the Spirit Realm used Yuan Stones. The value of Yuan Stones here was equivalent to that of Immortal Crystals in the Immortal Realm, and sometimes even higher.

However, here, immortal crystals are completely worthless, just like the soil in the immortal realm.

"Second Brother, where are we going? Are we just going to wander around like this?" Little Dragon muttered to Zhang Xingfeng.

Yu Yan put her arm around Zhang Xingfeng's shoulder and said sweetly, "If Brother Feng goes, I'll go too!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng and Yu Yan exchanged a smile.

"Two disgusting guys..." Little Dragon muttered as he walked, then saw a piece of immortal crystal on the road (as common as some pebbles on the street) and kicked it hard.

"Bang!"

The crystalline pebbles suddenly slammed into the group.

The man was a burly figure from the Spirit Realm. He suddenly turned around, glared at the Little Dragon, and roared, "Damn it, wasn't it you, you bastard, who kicked me!"

Little Dragon grinned slightly, as if he had discovered something very interesting. He blinked twice and looked at the big man.

"Hey kid, so what if I kicked you? Want to do it again?"

The burly man was furious when he saw Little Dragon's grinning face. He roared, "Damn it, I..." Just as the burly man was about to charge forward with his fist, the scholar-like man standing next to him immediately pulled him back.

"Hard Tiger, hold back! Do you even know who he is? I can't even see through him. You still want to make a move? Don't you want to die? In this City of Freedom, no one cares if you kill someone. Be careful!"

Upon hearing this, the burly man silently restrained himself and was about to turn and leave.

How could Little Dragon let such a fun thing end so easily?

"Hey, hey! You, the one called Hanhu, all tiger-headed and clumsy, but this elder just can't stand anything related to tigers. Hanhu, come here, damn it, didn't you hear me? Do I have to slap you a few times before you come here!" Little Dragon became even more arrogant because Hanhu didn't provoke him.

Hanhu's whole body began to tremble, his fists clenched tightly, and veins began to bulge from the surface of his skin. Clearly, Hanhu was forcing himself.

The scholar-like man beside him immediately advised earnestly, "Be careful, you silly tiger! This guy actually knows your name. It seems he overheard my telepathic communication earlier. His strength far surpasses mine. If you go, you'll just be toyed with. Bear it, bear it!"

"Hehe... You little punk, judging from your appearance with Gong, I thought you were a tough guy, but it turns out you're a coward!!!" Little Dragon looked like he was very arrogant and despised you.

Zhang Xingfeng and *** Yan remained silent, watching the show with smiles.

Han Ya suddenly turned around.

Little Dragon immediately beamed with joy, even clenching his fists. He was ready to have some fun with this silly tiger.

The simple-minded tiger stared blankly at the Little Dragon, then suddenly asked in a very innocent tone, "Oh? A turtle that shrinks back? What's a turtle?"

"Phew~~~" Little Dragon was all prepared to have some fun with Han Hu, who was ready to fight back with one hand on his back. But he didn't expect Han Hu to pull this stunt. Looking at Han Hu's honest and simple appearance, all the power he had built up instantly dissipated.

Little Dragon looked at Han Hu carefully and concluded that Han Hu was genuinely simple-minded, not fake!

Having made this judgment, Little Dragon couldn't help but wave his hand dismissively and lazily said:

"Um... Go away, go away... I don't want to play with you anymore."

The simple-minded tiger, however, became even more naive. He blinked his eyes, seemingly eager to know the answer, and asked, "Master, could you tell me what a 'cowardly turtle' is? What exactly is a turtle?"

Looking at the inquisitive and honest-looking Tiger, Little Dragon immediately and decisively turned to Zhang Xingfeng and said, "Second Brother, I'm leaving now..." Then he vanished from sight.

"Second Brother, I'm going to a restaurant in the north, called... Qingwan Restaurant!" Little Dragon's voice transmission entered Zhang Xingfeng's ears.

Zhang Xingfeng simply smiled at Little Dragon's behavior and then strolled with Yu Yan toward the restaurant.

"Qingwan Restaurant, what a clever name. I wonder what the wine is like?" Zhang Xingfeng smiled and pulled Yan into the restaurant.

"Young master, would you like to stay overnight or have some drinks?" A waiter immediately approached Zhang Xingfeng and asked.

Zhang Xingfeng thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... Let's drink first. If the wine is good, I'll stay here!"

Upon hearing this, the waiter was immediately delighted and said, "Young master, it seems you are the first person to come to the Free Holy City, otherwise you wouldn't say such a thing."

Zhang Xingfeng immediately became curious and asked, "Oh, what do you mean by that? Is your Qingwan Restaurant really that good?"

The waiter immediately smiled and said, "Clear Mist Flame Wine is a fine wine praised by the three Spirit Venerables. It is one of the three famous wines in the Spirit Realm, and Qingwan Flame ranks first. In the entire Free Holy City, only our Qingwan Clear Mist Flame Wine! If the wine here is not good, then there probably won't be any good wine in the entire Spirit Realm!"

Zhang Xingfeng's interest was immediately piqued. "Okay, okay, give me a jar and show me to a private room!"

Upon hearing this, the waiter was speechless, stammering, "One... one jar?"

Zhang Xingfeng frowned and asked, "Hmm? Is there a problem?"

The waiter immediately explained, "Young master, you probably don't know the name of my Qingwan Restaurant, nor do you know how precious Qingwan wine cups are. Qingwan Flame is the finest wine in the Spirit Realm. One pot costs one yuan stone, and a jar costs a full 50 yuan stones!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng was secretly shocked. He knew that Yuan Stones were incredibly precious in the Spirit Realm and the Realm of Divine Beasts, even more so than Immortal Crystals in the Immortal Realm! An ordinary waiter's salary would only be enough for one Yuan Stone in ten years, and even that was barely enough for his own cultivation needs.

It's possible to have extra spirit stones after deducting the cost of one's own cultivation. Only a few high-ranking figures could afford to have fifty spirit stones left over!

Zhang Xingfeng had recruited several Immortal Emperor- level figures into the Despair Prison Realm. Even among the high-ranking Immortal Emperor, they only possessed a few thousand Yuan Stones, and a significant portion of that was for their own cultivation. They probably wouldn't even be willing to part with fifty Yuan Stones!

"Young master, don't you want it?" the waiter asked softly.

Zhang Xingfeng smiled faintly and said, "Yes, of course. Since you say it's so good, give me one jar first. If I think it's good, I'll have the boss prepare ten more jars!"

Seeing Zhang Xingfeng's calm demeanor, the waiter immediately realized he had likely encountered a powerful figure from one of the Five Great Families of the Spirit Realm. He nodded nervously and said, "Alright, alright, alright, young master, please wait a moment, I'll go fetch the head manager!"

Seeing the waiter's expression, Zhang Xingfeng couldn't help but chuckle, "Looks like this guy thinks I'm some big shot. But I am a big shot, after all, a Carefree King, right? Even if it's an imposter, I'm no worse than those Spirit Realm King Tier experts!"

"Young master, I am the head manager of Qingwan Restaurant. It is an honor to have you here. Please follow me to the second floor." A smiling old man approached Zhang Xingfeng and led Zhang Xingfeng and Feng Xiangyan upstairs.

Clearly, the second floor is different from the lower floor; it consists of individual private rooms. You can even see the beautiful scenery outside through the windows.

"Young master, please enjoy!" The shopkeeper placed a cone-shaped wine jar on the table.

Zhang Xingfeng tapped the ground, casually placed fifty spirit stones on the table, turned to Yu Yan with a slight smile, and said, "Yu Yan, come, how about we try this wine?"

Yu Yan and Zhang Xingfeng then took their seats. The innkeeper immediately poured the wine from the wine jar into a wine pot and smiled, saying, "Please enjoy, gentlemen, and see for yourselves what Clear Mist Flame Wine from Qingwan Restaurant is all about."

Curious, Zhang Xingfeng poured the wine from the wine pot into a wine glass, then picked it up and slowly poured it into his mouth.

Zhang Xing slowly closed his eyes.

In an instant, Zhang Liang felt as if he were being refreshed by clear water, a refreshing sensation rising from the bottom of his heart, which instantly swept through his entire body.

"Boom!"

For a moment, Zhang Xingfeng seemed to forget everything around him. The coolness that spread throughout his body brought a smile to Zhang Xingfeng face. But at that moment, a fiery sensation, the source of the coolness, suddenly rose up and rushed straight to his throat.

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly exhaled, and a burst of flames shot out of his mouth!

A cool sensation swept over his entire body, while a fiery heat surged forth. This contrast caused Xing Shen Mengxuan to tremble once, and a strong sense of comfort welled up in his heart.

"Good wine!!!! Good, shopkeeper, give me ten jars. I'm worried that without this wine, life will be hard. Hehe, shopkeeper, hurry up!" Zhang Xingfeng immediately shouted to the shopkeeper outside with a smile.

"Please wait a moment, young master, it'll be right there!" the shopkeeper called out excitedly. Na Ying's slightly trembling voice showed how happy he was. These ten jars of wine represented a month's sales, and now so many had been sold at once—how could he not be excited!

Zhang Xingfeng looked at Yu Yan opposite him. Yu Yan's pretty face was slightly flushed, obviously from the intense heat she had just experienced.

"Sir, please pay for your drinks!"

"What's the rush? It's not that I don't want to give you the money, it's just that the money is with my second brother. You bastard, open your eyes wide, who do you think I am? Would I cheat you out of such a small amount?"

"Paying for drinks is a matter of course. Please, sir, pay your bill quickly!"

"Damn it, who do you think I am? Would I renege on your debt? I'm so angry! So angry!!!"

Zhang Xingfeng heard Little Dragon's roar immediately, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Waiter, that's my third brother. I'll pay for his drinks!" Zhang Xingfeng said with a smile.

The waiter immediately came over. This waiter was the same young fellow who had greeted Zhang Xingfeng at the door. Upon seeing Zhang Xingfeng, he immediately smiled and said, "So it's you, young master. So it's that roughneck. Oh, is that gentleman your brother? Then there's no need to rush. The gentleman ordered only the spiciest wine in our restaurant. The price isn't expensive, just one hundred Yin Stone!"

Yin Stone, a rare and iridescent stone. Although it cannot be used for cultivation, its beauty and rarity have made it a common form of currency. The development of these Yin Stone mines is jointly controlled by two super-powerful sects in the Spirit Realm!

One Yuan Stone is equal to ten thousand Yin Stone. This ratio also shows how precious Yuan Stones are.

"Haha... Second Brother, Second Brother, you're here! You didn't even tell me! Oh, this seems to be good wine. I'll have a sip!" Little Dragon immediately picked up the wine jar and took a big gulp. Little Dragon eyes immediately narrowed in pleasure, but in an instant, Little Dragon face turned bright red, and a surge of anger erupted from him...

"Whoosh... So spicy, so strong! Amazing, amazing!" Little Dragon exclaimed. While others were drinking one cup at a time, he was chugging the wine from the jar. That's impressive.

At this time...

"Young master, ten jars of Clear Mist Flame Wine have arrived~~~~~~~~" The shopkeeper's shouts seemed to have started as a song.

The old innkeeper entered the private room and, upon seeing the waiter, immediately scolded, "Why are you disturbing the young master like this?"

The waiter immediately said, "Manager, the gentleman just now was this young master's brother, and this young master is prepared to pay the bill for that gentleman's 00 Yin Stone!"

The old innkeeper immediately straightened his face and said, "Get out of here! You dare ask the young master for 100 Yin Stone? Don't you know who you are? Why would you carry such a small amount of money as Yin Stone?" Then, the old innkeeper smiled and said to Xingfeng, "Young master, consider this 100 Yin Stone a small token of our respect."

Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly. These ten jars of wine are worth five hundred yuan stones! If you've already made five hundred yuan stones, why would you care about a few Yin Stone?

Just as Zhang Xingfeng was about to pay 500 yuan, laughter suddenly came from outside.

"Ha! Isn't this the Carefree King? I'll pay 500 yuan stones for Carefree King!" A loud laugh came from next door.

Zhang Xingfeng was taken aback. The Carefree King —he knew he was a member of the White Tiger Clan, but... He had just sensed a faint Dragon Might's might emanating from the people next door. If it weren't for his profound mental cultivation, Zhang Xingfeng wouldn't have been able to detect it. Clearly, the other party's power was at least at the Low-grade Divine Human realm!

Suifeng, the Third Grand Elder of the Dragon Clan and leader of the Dark Dragon Clan, smiled, held a wine cup, and stepped into the room through the curtains separating the two rooms. At the same instant, Suifeng's powerful aura forced the innkeeper and the second-in-command out of the private room.

"Carefree King. Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm here to make friends with you. Oh, and this brother of yours seems to have a good capacity for alcohol..."

Suifeng turned his gaze to Little Dragon.
