Chapter 188: Another Young Leader
"Boss, can I have a pot of water berry wine." A voice sounded, interrupting Zhen Yuan’s thoughts.
"What level?" He asked.
"Level three." The customer said and Zhen Yuan went to get the wine.
Water berry wine was a water-element wine.
However, unlike most water-element spiritual wines, the water-berry wine was not gentle and had a slightly acidic kick.
"The wine in your Xuyuan shop is not only delicious but also good for cultivation." The customer sighed with a nostalgic expression.
"My wife brewed it." Zhen Yuan said in a proud voice.
Pang Li laughed when he heard this.
He accidentally discovered the Xuyuan wines and talismans shop three weeks ago.
At that time, he couldn’t help but be curious because the shop was in such a remote place.
Unexpectedly, the shop had the best spiritual wine Pang Li had ever tasted!
After the first visit, was a second and a third.
Now, Pang Li visited the Xuyuan wines and talismans shop every other day.
"Is the boss wife still in seclusion?" He asked and Zhen Yuan nodded.
"He won’t be out for a few years."
"Boss, can I order a wine when the boss’ wife comes out seclusion?"
"You can order but it may not be possible if we don’t have the spiritual fruits."
"Don’t worry about the spiritual fruits. I will provide them when the time comes."
"Good."
After that, Pang Li paid for the wine and left the shop.
Half an hour later, a group of people appeared several metres from the Xuyuan shop.
"Is this the shop?" A young man asked, looking at the shop in curiosity.
"It’s this one." Another young man nodded.
"Let’s go."
With that, five people walked towards the shop and soon arrived.
Sensing the people, Zhen Yuan stood up.
"Welcome." He said.
"I heard there is a wine that can gather qi during cultivation..." One of the five asked, looking around as if wanting see into the wine pots.
"It’s made with the qi gathering grass and some mild spiritual fruits. What level do you need?"
"Give me a pot of level four wine." The leading man said but Zhen Yuan shook his head.
"We don’t have level four wine for the time being." He said.
"Aren’t you drinking level four wine?" A young double asked, pointing at a pot next to Zhen Yuan’s seat.
"Brother Lu, how do you know it’s level four wine?" A female cultivator asked.
"The wine smell is a bit different from level three wine."
"Is that so?" The female cultivator asked, trying to discern the smell.
However, her sense of smell wasn’t as developed as the cultivator named brother Lu.
After she couldn’t smell it, she gave up her efforts and turned to Zhen Yuan.
"Boss, is brother Lu right? Is that level four wine?"
"It’s indeed level four wine." Zhen Yuan started but before he could explain, brother Lu angrily pointed at him.
"Are you looking down on young master Song? Young master Song is the third young leader of the Myriad Treasures Pavillion. How dare you look down on him?"
’Third young master of the Myriad Treasures Pavillion?’ Zhen Yuan slightly narrowed his eyes but his expression didn’t change.
Although the Myriad Treasures Pavillion was a big deal, Zhen Yuan was not intimidated.
In addition to earning spirit stones, the purpose of opening a shop was meeting more people and exposing himself to more laws.
That said, he didn’t intend to subject himself to bullying and other such nonsense.
"Please leave if you are not customers." He said.
At the same time, he turned around, intending to sit and continue meditating.
"Boss, I am sorry for brother Lu." A voice said and quickly continued when Zhen Yuan turned around.
"I am Song Wanfeng." He introduced himself.
"Xu Zhen." Zhen Yuan said.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, do you really not have level four wine?" Song Wanfeng asked and Zhen Yuan sighed before he spoke.
"My wife is the brewer but he is in seclusion. He only prepared a few pots before he retreated."
"Is that so..." Song Wanfeng started but a discordant voice interrupted.
"Sell those pots to us. How many spirit stones do you want?" Brother Lu asked with a haughty expression.
"Not for sale." Zhen Yuan categorically refused.
"Brother Song, look at him..." Brother Lu pointed and Zhen Yuan frowned.
"He clearly has wine but doesn’t want to sell it to you."
"I will break your finger if you point at me a third time." Zhen Yuan said and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Sensing the murderous intent, brother Lu trembled and unconsciously tugged Song Wanfeng’s sleeve.
"Brother Song, am I wrong? Why does he open a shop if he doesn’t want to sell the goods?"
"Brother Lu, boss Xu is also a nascent soul realm cultivator. It’s natural that he doesn’t want to sell his small stash of level four spiritual wine." The female cultivator said and quickly continued.
"It’s not a problem to wait until the boss wife comes out of seclusion."
"How long will that be?" Brother Lu wasn’t convinced.
"Do you want brother Song to wait for several years or decades?"
"This..." The female cultivator didn’t know what to say.
Since the boss wife could handle level four ingredients, his cultivation should also be the nascent soul realm.
Regardless of the person’s talent, he would need at least thirty years to advance a small stage in the nascent soul realm.
Considering that, brother Lu was not wrong in assuming they would have to wait decades to drink level four wine.
"There is not enough level four wine so I can’t sell it." Zhen Yuan was not moved.
"Do..." Brother Lu started but Song Wanfeng interrupted him.
"Cultivators have a long lifespan. It’s not a problem to wait a few years." He said and began looking around.
"Boss, how many types of wine do you have?"
"Fourteen types of level one wine, eight types of level two wine, and five types of level threw wine."
"I want three pots of each type of wine." Sone Wanfeng ordered and Zhen Yuan nodded in understanding.
As the young master of the Myriad Treasures Pavillion, it was natural for Song Wanfeng to buy so many wines.
After all, his family was in the business of selling treasures and cultivation resources.
While Zhen Yuan was preparing the order, Song Wanfeng and his group went to the other side of the shop to look at talismans.
"Is boss Xu a talisman master?" Song Wanfeng asked, his eyes narrowed into slits.
"Mmh." Zhen Yuan nodded.
Song Wanfeng was shocked.
At a glance, there were only twenty types of talismans on display.
These talismans were common types that could be found in any random talisman shop.
However, all the talismans were high grade.
At a loss, Song Wanfeng looked from the level one to level four talismans but found no discrepancies.
’How is this possible?’ He wondered.
Even a level five talisman master couldn’t guarantee a high-grade talisman when drawing a level four talismans.
Most importantly, Song Wanfeng didn’t believe this was Xu Zhen’s real strength.
Only an extremely skilled talisman master could control his performance to this level.
Thinking this way, Song Wanfeng turned around.
"Boss Xu is very talented." He said.
"Thank you." Zhen Yuan didn’t deny it and brother Lu couldn’t help but snort.
"He is not humble at all." He said and quickly continued.
"Who knows if he is the talisman master who drew these talismans."
However, Zhen Yuan neither confirmed nor refuted.
Since he didn’t care about other people’s opinion, there was no need to go out of his way to prove himself.
"Is boss Xu a member of the talisman association?" Song Wanfeng asked and Zhen Yuan hesitated before nodding.
On the surface, he was just an ordinary talisman master.
However, he became a jade elder when he was in the Canglan continent.
With this identity, he was considered an integral member of the talisman association.
"Boss Xu, can we decide cooperation?" Song Wanfeng asked.
"What kind of cooperation do you have in mind?"
"Boss Xu is a genius talisman master and the boss wife is a genius wine brewer. I would like to invite you to become honorary elders of my Myriad Treasures Pavillion." Song Wanfeng said but Zhen Yuan shook his head before the person finished speaking. freewёbnoνel.com
"My wife and I like freedom. We won’t join your Myriad Treasures Pavillion."
Although Zhen Yuan was a little high profile, he wasn’t stupid.
Unlike the talisman association, the Myriad Treasures Pavillion was a family business.
Becoming part of the Song family was beneficial but more troublesome.
Considering that, Zhen Yuan didn’t even need to think about it before he refused.
"Boss Xu, it won’t be too late to refuse me after considering the benefits of joining my Song family."
"It’s impossible to join the Song family but it’s not impossible to cooperate." Zhen Yuan said, looking at Son Wanfeng with a determined face.
