Chapter 126

Xie Juanhan understood the chain of events and became increasingly confident. "This kind of fine wine is just this expensive. After it ages in the cellar and the quality improves, we'll sell it for even more."

The Dwarf looked distressed. "If that's the case, we're not even as good at business as you."

Xie Juanhan: "Don't rush. Even if you do bring level-two Demonic Core, we won't sell too many."

Xie Juanhan gestured to the Dwarf to look at the newly felled Goddess Wood in the courtyard. "We've already commissioned you to make wine barrels; we'll still be aging most of the wine in barrels in the cellar."

The Dwarf' eyes sparkled.

Xie Juanhan raised his chin. "If we can really brew a level three magic wine, the price will be far more than this."

Xie Juanhan made up his mind to use the new magic wooden barrels to age and brew the Star Berry Wine.

As for the wooden barrels he had made earlier, he planned to use them to store ordinary berry wines such as Yuri Berry wine.

Although those wines don't have any Magic Power, they taste quite good. After aging them in the cellar for a while to improve their quality, they'll definitely sell.

The Dwarf never expected Xie Juanhan to set such high prices when doing business.

He used to offer very reasonable prices when doing business with the Water Demon.

Xie Juanhan hadn't actually intended to sell the magic berry wine.

As he said, the quality of these wines will be further improved after aging in barrels, and they will generate higher profits when sold later.

However, selling some now and exchanging them for Demonic Core to make fertilizer for planting new Star Berry wouldn't be a bad idea.

As long as there are Star Berry, they can continuously produce berry wine, achieving a positive cycle.

The Dwarf looked distressed and tried to bargain with Xie Juanhan.

Xie Juanhan refused to negotiate, so the Dwarf had no choice but to leave disappointed.

However, less than two days later, the giant who delivered water to their house received the news and knocked on their window in the middle of the night, trying to buy some level-two magic wine.

Xie Juanhan, still half-asleep, leaned against the window and said, "Ah, level two magic wine? We've sold out our entire quota."

The giant's voice boomed, filled with disbelief. "Who has a faster hand than me?!"

Xie Juanhan: "It was the Dwarf. They brought 154 level-two Demonic Core and bought out the entire remaining barrel of wine in our house."

"Didn't they say it was too expensive and they wouldn't buy it?!"

"No, that's just a bargaining tactic." Xie Juanhan yawned as he looked at the giant. "If they really weren't going to buy, they wouldn't keep bringing it up."

The giant stood there stunned for a long time, then could only mutter, "Cunning Dwarf."

Xie Juanhan smiled and said, "Do you want to make a reservation? If so, I'll let you know in advance next time we sell wine."

The giant replied without hesitation, "Yes! I want to order a whole barrel!"

There's a little joke in the last paragraph of this chapter, see you tomorrow!

Chapter 126 [VIP]

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei kissed in the room.

Before the kiss was finished, the door clicked open.

There was clearly a little creature scratching at the door from outside.

Telingewei held Xie Juanhan's waist, cupped his face, and continued to kiss him deeply.

Xie Juanhan's eyes curved slightly, his long eyelashes even brushing against Telingewei's eyelashes.

A moment later.

Telingewei straightened his clothes, then yanked the door shut with a blank expression.

Nibote was relentlessly scratching at the door with his claws raised outside, almost tumbled into the house like Griffin.

Nibote was completely oblivious to the terrifying look on Telingewei's face.

It rolled over slightly, then sat up straight, looking at Telingewei and Xie Juanhan expectantly and meowing, "Meow!"

As it called, it turned its head to look outside the door, indicating that there was something there and that they should go and see.

Xie Juanhan peeked out from behind Telingewei, took his hand, and gently tickled his palm.

Nibote, the great Griffin, leaped backward, hopping and skipping like a puppy, onto the corridor to make way for the two dragons.

Telingewei showed no gratitude for the man's thoughtfulness. He muttered under his breath, "Sooner or later, I'll make the Dwarf build them their own houses."

Xie Juanhan clenched his other fist, made a thumbs-up gesture, and smiled as he looked into Telingewei's eyes, "Exile them deep into the forest!"

"Meow!" Nibote turned his head impatiently, urging them to hurry up.

They went into the corridor.

The Companion Beast and Moli were gathered around a messenger bird as big as a golden eagle, their furry faces full of excitement.

The great caller bird was so frightened that the feathers on its neck stood on end. It slightly spread its wings, its eyes darting back and forth, staring warily at the furry creatures.

Upon seeing Xie Juanhan and Telingewei emerge, the Great Messenger Bird immediately spread its wings, extended its claws, and charged towards the two dragons, "Chirp chirp!"

Telingewei flicked his tongue, shooing away the Companion Beast.

Harper and the others reluctantly backed away, and Moli obediently followed suit.

Xie Juanhan reached out and gently grasped the tip of the great messenger bird's wing. "It's alright, don't be afraid, I'll make them back off."

The great faith bird's emotions finally stabilized somewhat.

It chirped twice in its throat, spread its wings wider, and raised its tail to show Xie Juanhan and Telingewei the letter on its rear end.

This thing is clearly a Demon Bird, but it has a furry, animal-like butt.

A small leather backpack was simply threaded through the base of its wing and hung on its side.

It looks quite heavy.

Xie Juanhan opened the leather backpack, inside which was a short note and a large stack of glittering gold coins.

"Chirp chirp!" Harper and the others got excited, their eyes fixed intently on the gold coins.

The giant Demon Bird immediately spread its wings and cast a threatening glance at the furry creatures. "Chirp!"

Xie Juanhan read the short note.

The creature that sent the letter introduced itself as Bone Spirit hunter from the high mountains. They had heard that there was a particularly delicious magical wine here, so they asked a messenger bird to deliver gold coins in the hopes of buying two bottles.

The letter also specifically emphasized at the end that the magic wine could be slipped into the messenger bird's bag.

Xie Juanhan looked up at Telingewei: "What race are Bone Spirit Hunters?"

He had read so many books on magic, but this was the first time he had ever heard of such a creature.

Telingewei: "A skeletal ghost that sleeps during the day and is active at night. Legend has it that after the death of a high-ranking human mage, the spirit-laden bones can develop sentience under certain harsh conditions, becoming Bone Spirit."

Xie Juanhan asked, "Does it become a new being after death? Or does it retain its original consciousness?"

"New beings. They lean towards acquired spirits, their state is less stable, and their need for Magic Power is more urgent." Telingewei looked at the letter. "Perhaps that's why they would risk sending a letter."

Xie Juanhan felt great admiration for this strange creature that dared to send a letter and even stuff a large amount of gold coins into it.

Unfortunately, their family had already used up their quota of magic wine for sale, and Xie Juanhan didn't want to take an extra portion from their cellar to sell to the letter writers.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Juanhan asked, "Can they drink the Wraith Wine?"

The Wraith Wine possesses Magic Power.

Their family also stored a large cellar of Wraith Wine.

There weren't any other kinds of alcohol at home, so the Wraith Wine could be kept and drunk slowly.

Now that we have so much alcohol at home, we need to sell off the Wraith Wine as soon as possible.

After all, no matter how long the shelf life of wine is, it will eventually spoil.

Bone Spirit wants to buy level 2 magic wine.

Xie Juanhan did not force a sale. He replied with a short note, saying that the magic berry wine at home had been sold out, and the wine in the messenger bird's backpack was the Wraith Wine, which was considered a free sample. If they liked it, they could write to him later to purchase it.

After writing the letter, Xie Juanhan treated the great letterer bird to a good meal and a good night's rest before letting it fly back.

Xie Juanhan hopes to sell most of the Wraith Wine.

The creatures of the Magic Forest preferred the sacred and refreshing wine; only the Dwarf and giants were interested in the Wraith Wine, but due to its price, they didn't buy much.

After Xie Juanhan gifted them the Bone Spirit Wine, their family's Wraith Wine immediately found a market.

In addition to the Bone Spirit sending messenger birds with gold coins to buy a batch of wine, a large number of messenger birds also flew in from all over the world carrying gold coins, all indicating that they wanted to buy the Wraith Wine.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei later learned that among these Bone Spirit living high in the mountains, one was actually a fairly famous author.

The other party heavily promoted their Wraith Wine in several human magazines, and even praised them for their honesty and trustworthiness.

People in various places, who had no shortage of gold coins, actually released messenger birds to buy wine directly from them.

Xie Juanhan muttered to himself, "Sure enough, human curiosity is always at its strongest, no matter the time."

When it comes to fine wines and spirits, humans may not be very interested.

The fact that the legendary Wraith Wine could only be purchased through messenger birds immediately piqued human curiosity.

For a time, countless messenger birds came and went from Xie Juanhan's house.

The bird toilet under their bird parking spot was full.

The Magic Wand Tree is very bothered by this and always seems to want to spit lava to burn down the bird's perch and bird toilet.

It actually wanted to spew lava at the homing birds as well.

But with Xie Juanhan and Telingewei watching, it dared not.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei didn't have any special solutions, so they could only clean it frequently and bury Demonic Core fertilizer in the Magic Wand Tree. After absorbing the fertilizer, the Magic Wand Tree finally calmed down.

Bird droppings and other debris can be used to ferment fertilizer.

Although these fertilizers don't have Magic Power, they contain elements essential for plant growth, and using them together works very well.

Xie Juanhan sold level-two magic wine to the Dwarf and earned a batch of Demonic Core.

After selling the Wraith Wine and obtaining gold coins, they used the gold coins to buy Demonic Core, thus gaining another batch of Demonic Core.

With plenty of Demonic Core in hand, Xie Juanhan handed over the calcined Demonic Core magma and bird droppings to the Goblin, asking Goblin to quickly brew fertilizer.
