Chu Qiu Drinks Icy Wine While Waiting for Lan Tian

"Fellow Daoist, how many Spirit Stone does your watermelon cost per pound?"

"Two Low-Grade Spirit Stone per pound!"

"Holy crap, is this melon flesh made of Spirit Stone or melon seeds made of Spirit Rice Grain?"

"Look at this! This is Supreme-Grade Watermelon. Where else can you find one like it?"

"Can you guarantee this melon is ripe?"

"Hilarious! Would I sell you my raw meat?"

The conversation between Zhao Ziyue on the left and the male Daoist opposite him gave Xu Changqing a sense of déjà vu.

He couldn't help but ask if the other person's surname was "Liu".

"How did you know?" Liu Qiang looked at the unfamiliar face opposite him, surprised.

Xu Changqing paused for a moment, then reminded Zhao Ziyue, "Be careful with the fruit knife!"

Zhao Ziyue looked puzzled upon hearing this, clearly not understanding what he meant.

However, at this moment, Xu Changqing's attention had already shifted to the other side.

The aroma emanating from the grilled meat grew increasingly intense.

More and more people are becoming interested.

A portly male Daoist stepped forward and asked, "How much is one skewer of this grilled meat?"

Hu Bugui replied, "A string of three Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

"So expensive?" The portly male Daoist's eyes widened upon hearing this.

Hu Bugui chuckled, "We have limited-time packages with even better prices!"

The word "discount" made the portly male Daoist's eyes light up. "How much discount?!"

Hu Bugui grinned and introduced, "Now, if you purchase the limited-time package one, you can get a skewer of grilled meat and a cup of Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice Wine for only five Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Upon hearing this, the other party couldn't help but ponder it.

One skewer of grilled meat costs three Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

A cup of Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice Wine costs four Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

If purchased separately, it would cost seven Low-Grade Spirit Stones in total.

Therefore, no matter how you calculate it, the package deal is more cost-effective.

Xu Changqing thought to himself, "It's a waste of this guy's talent to cultivate immortality."

The price and package deals were indeed the result of their joint discussions.

One skewer of grilled meat costs three Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

A pound of chilled watermelon costs two Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

A cup of Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice Wine costs four Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Package 1:

One skewer of grilled meat + one cup of Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice Wine = five Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Package Two:

One skewer of grilled meat + one pound of chilled Supreme-Grade Watermelon = four Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Package Three:

A skewer of grilled meat + a cup of Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice Wine + a pound of chilled watermelon = seven Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

But the rest of the rhetoric was entirely Hu Bugui's own interpretation.

Neither he nor Zhao Ziyue ever taught it.

This guy is definitely born to be a businessman.

After Hu Bugui finished introducing all the limited-time packages...

The portly male Daoist immediately said, "Give me Set Meal Three!"

"Alright, guys, let's get started," Hu Bugui called out.

Xu Changqing immediately poured a cup of Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice Wine.

Zhao Ziyue then cut out a pound of chilled watermelon.

Once the two items were gathered, Hu Bugui handed over a steaming, fragrant skewer of grilled meat to the other person.

"Delicious! Delicious!"

The male fellow Daoist opposite me was eating with his mouth greasy.

"We're finally open for business!"

The eyes of Xu Changqing and the other two were a little moist.

If there is one, then there will naturally be two.

Before long, their stall was surrounded by people.

This even includes peers.

Some people were initially only interested in the barbecue, but when they saw that it cost three Low-Grade Spirit Stones, they hesitated.

But seeing such a great deal on the package, they immediately made their choice.

Therefore, most buyers choose the full package.

Currently, the most popular option is Package One:

One skewer of grilled meat + one cup of Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice Wine = five Low-Grade Spirit Stones

The grilled meat was delicious.

Spirit Rice Wine has a richer flavor.

Although some people buy watermelons, many believe they are not cost-effective.

As time went on, more and more people bought them.

Some clever people have even invented errand-running services.

Buy barbecue for the people crammed into arena number 1.

One Low-Grade Spirit Stone can be used for transportation once.

Furthermore, with Lan Tian, ranked second, yet to appear, the arena challenge has not yet begun.

As a result, Xu Changqing and others' stalls became increasingly lively.

A large group of cultivators.

Regardless of gender or age.

They all held a cup of Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice Wine in their left hands.

In his right hand was a skewer of sizzling, oily grilled spirit beast meat.

Occasionally, someone would hold up a bright red watermelon and nibble on it.

"It tastes really good!"

"Although it's a mundane thing, it's nice to eat it once in a while!"

"The roasted meat, Spirit Rice Wine, and watermelon are all imbued with rich Spiritual Qi; buying them is definitely worthwhile!"

Everyone ate, drank, and waited.

Just then, Chu Qiu stood up on stage number 1.

In an instant, everyone's attention and gaze were fixed on him.

At first, I thought the Lan Tian had appeared.

It turned out that this was not the case.

Then, Chu Qiu in arena number 1 leaped over everyone's heads and landed in front of Xu Changqing and his two companions' stall.

He looked at the other person's cold face and Divine Godhead.

Xu Changqing, Hu Bugui, and Zhao Ziyue all felt a sudden tightness in their chests, sensing a crisis.

The reason so many formal disciple gathered here was because of Chu Qiu and Lan Tian, but unexpectedly, Xu Changqing and his two companions stole the spotlight.

"Senior Brother Chu!" Hu Bugui's expression changed drastically in an instant.

Chu Qiu spoke in a somewhat low voice, "You..."

"Sorry, we'll leave now." Xu Changqing didn't want to provoke this person.

Chu Qiu waved his hand, but said, "No, I'm a little thirsty. I'd like a glass of chilled Spirit Rice Wine!"

Everyone was stunned by these words.

Xu Changqing and the other two, in particular, all stared wide-eyed.

I thought something terrible was going to happen, but it turned out they were just thirsty.

"Senior Brother Chu, this cup of Spirit Rice Wine is on me." Xu Changqing reacted quickly, immediately pouring the other party a cup of Spirit Rice Wine, which was even chilled.

Thank you!

Chu Qiu took it, and it felt icy cold to the touch.

What truly caught his attention, or rather, interested him, was the rich Spiritual Qi contained within.

Throughout the entire [Heavenly Origin Realm], Spirit Rice Wine is the most common type of alcoholic beverage.

But such a concentration of Spiritual Qi energy is absolutely unprecedented in my life.

Then, Chu Qiu took a small sip.

It has a smooth texture, is not strong, and is slightly sweet.

After swallowing it, I felt the spiritual energy within my body "jumping with joy".

Without hesitation, he drank it all in one gulp in front of everyone.

Then he stood there, lost in his own world.

The three people opposite exchanged glances upon seeing this, and all of them were relieved.

Hu Bugui, in particular, let out a long sigh of relief.

After all, he and Chu Qiu were both disciples of the Beast Spirit Valley.

Xu Changqing asked, "What does Senior Brother Chu think?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qiu's perpetually icy face revealed a faint smile, "Good wine!"

Hu Bugui nearby, couldn't help but boast, "Of course! This wine is brewed from the Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice!"

Chu Qiu's eyes lit up, and she stared intently at Xu Changqing, asking with great curiosity, "Did you brew this Spirit Rice Wine?"

"Yes." Xu Changqing nodded in agreement.

His style is characterized by being discreet and low-key.

But it doesn't mean rejecting everything.

If there's an opportunity to curry favor with someone powerful, of course you can't miss it.

Although Chu Qiu is not as good as Li Lingbi, he is currently the number one formal disciple.

Chu Qiu nodded slightly and said, "I am Chu Qiu from the Beast Spirit Valley. And you are, Junior Brother?"

Xu Changqing quickly introduced himself, "Spirit Fields, Xu Changqing!"

"Very well, I'll remember you." Chu Qiu had just finished speaking when he suddenly looked to the other side.

Then, the sound of rushing water began.

A cruise ship, its surface shimmering with turquoise water, sailed towards us.

"Chu Qiu, I'm late!" Lan Tian's voice suddenly rang out.

"No, you've come at just the right time!" Chu Qiu put down his wine glass, his body swayed, and he leaped into the air, flying towards Arena No. 1.

"The Lan Tian is finally back!"

The people around seemed to be ignited, and they all became excited.

At this moment, Xu Changqing took out paper and pen and wrote down a line of words.

After finishing writing, I quietly placed it in the most prominent position on the stall.

What content?

Even Chu Qiu praised the Spirit Rice Wine highly!!!
