Chapter 82: The Frenzied Buying Spree

"Patriarch Xiao, quickly sell me a bottle!" Gu Yan quickly regained his composure from the shock, his face full of excitement as he hastily took out five middle-grade spirit stones and handed them to Xiao Changfeng.

"Hehe, Master Gu Yan, you are our Xiao family's first customer since reopening!" Xiao Changfeng said with a smile, handing over a jade bottle.

Gu Yan excitedly drank it all in one gulp. The power of the Heavenly Spirit Wine instantly flowed through all his meridians and finally entered his dantian. Gu Yan felt his cultivation improve once again, although it was just a little, it was enough to make him extremely excited.

Now Gu Yan finally understood why the Xiao family's strength had increased so much. It seemed that it was all because of the Heavenly Spirit Wine.

"What an amazing Heavenly Spirit Wine! This is wonderful! One month of cultivation couldn't improve my cultivation as much as this one bottle of Heavenly Spirit Wine!" Gu Yan went from shock to being overjoyed.

At this point, Gu Yan couldn't help but glance at Xiao Chen, thinking to himself, "Xiao Chen, although I guessed it was you, I couldn't have guessed that you could develop such powerful Heavenly Spirit Wine! Your purchase of a large quantity of Xuanling Grass must be related to the Heavenly Spirit Wine. I knew you had other uses for the Xuanling Grass."

Overwhelmed with excitement, Gu Yan quickly shouted down the street, "The Heavenly Spirit Wine sold by the Xiao family can improve cultivation! Each bottle only costs five middle-grade spirit stones! What are you waiting for? This is a rare treasure! Only five middle-grade spirit stones!"

"Improve cultivation? Could the Xiao family really have such a treasure? Master Gu Yan, you aren't deceiving us, are you?" A passing cultivator asked skeptically.

"Can drinking wine really improve cultivation? That's too absurd! Who would believe that?"

"Master Gu Yan, did you lose your mind? Drinking wine to improve cultivation? Who are you trying to fool? Besides, it's impossible for the Xiao family to have such a treasure."

"Even a third-grade alchemist like Liu Jiangyun can barely refine a second-grade pill that improves cultivation. How could the Xiao family have such a treasure?"

"If you don't believe it, I'll prove it to you. This brother here, I'll buy you a bottle. If your cultivation doesn't improve, consider it my treat. If your cultivation improves, also consider it my treat." Gu Yan said with a smile. To make these people believe, he didn't mind spending five middle-grade spirit stones.

"Alright! Since it's not my spirit stones, I'll drink!" The cultivator responded.

Gu Yan handed over five middle-grade spirit stones. The cultivator received the jade bottle, opened it, and drank it all in one gulp. At this moment, the more than ten people gathered at the entrance of the Xiao family shop watched the man silently.

After drinking, the man was stunned, his face full of astonishment as he said, "I... I can't believe it! My... my cultivation actually... actually broke through from the Early Nascent Soul stage to the Mid Nascent Soul stage!"

"Heavens! His cultivation really improved! It actually helped him advance by a level!"

"This can't be true, can it? He just drank a mouthful of wine, and his cultivation increased that much?"

"Am I seeing things? Did I see that right?"

Seeing the shocked expressions of these people, the Xiao family members were overjoyed. With Gu Yan helping to promote it, they were naturally pleased.

"How about now? Do you believe it? The Heavenly Spirit Wine sold by the Xiao family not only improves cultivation but also has healing properties. Such a miraculous Heavenly Spirit Wine is really too cheap at five middle-grade spirit stones. If you don't buy it, you'll regret it once the Xiao family raises the price." Gu Yan said with a smile, looking at Xiao Changfeng and saying, "Patriarch Xiao, give me another bottle. The Heavenly Spirit Wine is truly amazing!"

"I want to buy one too! Patriarch Xiao! Quickly give me a bottle!" Another cultivator said excitedly.

"I want one too! I want one too!" More than ten cultivators surrounding them became extremely excited.

Xiao Changfeng said happily, "Please line up, everyone, don't be anxious."

Passing cultivators saw how lively the Xiao family shop was, with everyone rushing to buy something, and they all gathered around. When they heard about the miraculous Heavenly Spirit Wine, they also joined in to buy it.

"The Heavenly Spirit Wine from the Xiao family will definitely become a treasure that everyone in Fengyue City will scramble to buy. With this, the Wang family's business is doomed. Xiao Chen, this move of retreating to advance has saved the Xiao family. Now, with such a miraculous treasure as Heavenly Spirit Wine, even the Yang family will be left in the dust. Impressive! Truly impressive!" Gu Yan thought to himself, taking a deep look at Xiao Chen before bidding farewell and leaving.

"Xiao Chen, it seems that Gu Yan has figured something out, otherwise, why would he keep looking at you?" The Ancient White Tiger transmitted its voice.

"Haha, he probably guessed it. Only he knows I bought a large amount of Xuanling Grass at the auction, so it's normal for him to guess." Xiao Chen said with a low laugh, not minding it.

"Hey! The Xiao family is selling Heavenly Spirit Wine that can improve cultivation and heal injuries! It's extremely miraculous, only five middle-grade spirit stones, hurry and buy it, I heard Patriarch Xiao is only selling 100 bottles today."

"What? It can improve cultivation and heal injuries? Is it really that miraculous? I have to go check it out too!"

The cultivators who bought Heavenly Spirit Wine from the Xiao family began to spread the word throughout Fengyue City. One person told ten, ten told a hundred, and a hundred told a thousand. The news spread rapidly, and cultivators in Fengyue City flocked to the Xiao family shop.

"Patriarch, more and more people are coming! This is great!" Seeing a long line forming outside the shop, Xiao Lei couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

Xiao Kui was also very happy, saying, "With them helping to spread the word, it will soon spread throughout Fengyue City."

"Patriarch Xiao! I'll offer ten middle-grade spirit stones, sell me a bottle first!"

"Patriarch Xiao! I'll also offer ten, sell me a bottle first!"

"Me too! Sell it to me first!"

The cultivators were going crazy, having heard that the Xiao family was only selling 100 bottles today, they were all worried that the Heavenly Spirit Wine would be sold out by the time it was their turn.

"Everyone line up! No cutting in line!" Xiao Yuanshan shouted sternly, and the noisy crowd immediately quieted down.

"Patriarch Xiao, I'll offer ten middle-grade spirit stones, I want two bottles of Heavenly Spirit Wine!" A cultivator said excitedly. After waiting for a long time, it was finally his turn.

"Patriarch, this guy was one of those who said that the inn and tavern wines were better than our Xiao family's wine when he passed by earlier. Those behind him were also involved." Xiao Kui quickly said, recognizing the person as one of those who mocked the Xiao family's Heavenly Spirit Wine earlier.

Hearing this, Xiao Changfeng was stunned for a moment. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed those people. He then smiled and said, "Young man, our Xiao family's wine is indeed no better than the inn and tavern wines. You should go buy theirs instead. Next."

"Patriarch Xiao, Patriarch Xiao, I didn't recognize greatness when I saw it. Please don't hold it against me. I've been waiting in line for a long time." One of them said anxiously, regretting his earlier words deeply.

"Stop talking nonsense! Go to your inn!" A disciple of the Xiao family shouted, directly driving those people out of the line.

In less than half an hour, the 100 bottles of Heavenly Spirit Wine were all sold out. Many people were still in line, those who got the wine were ecstatic, and those who didn't were extremely disappointed.

"The reason we're only selling 100 bottles today is that some people said the Xiao family's Heavenly Spirit Wine isn't as good as the wines from the inns and taverns. This really hurts me, so I'm not in the mood to sell more. Everyone go back. Starting tomorrow, all Xiao family shops will be open, each selling 100 bottles daily." Xiao Changfeng said, waving his hand to signal the people in line to disperse.

The eyes of those who didn't get the Heavenly Spirit Wine turned murderous towards those who were driven out of the line earlier, scaring them so much that they fell to the ground.

In the following days, all the Xiao family shops opened, and cultivators in Fengyue City went crazy buying the Heavenly Spirit Wine. They lined up early in the morning, forming long lines that stretched for several streets, overcrowding the area.

Every day, the shops would close in half an hour because the Heavenly Spirit Wine was sold out. Those who didn't get it decided to come earlier the next day.

Therefore, the disciples of the Xiao family had extra time to cultivate every day. Although the Heavenly Spirit Wine was only suitable for cultivators below the Bigu stage to improve their cultivation, it could still help those in the Bigu stage a little.

The appearance of the Heavenly Spirit Wine drove all the cultivators in Fengyue City crazy, and the news of the Xiao family selling it spread beyond Fengyue City. People from surrounding areas also came specifically for the Heavenly Spirit Wine.

The people of Fengyue City never expected that the Xiao family, once in a hopeless decline, would suddenly rise to prominence.

With the emergence of the Heavenly Spirit Wine, Fengyue City experienced a major upheaval. The Wang family's shops no longer had any customers and were completely shut down. Not only the Wang family, but even the Yang family's businesses became deserted, with only those cultivators who lacked sufficient spirit stones returning to buy some cheap healing medicines, causing the Yang family's higher-ups to become worried.

In the Xiao family hall, Xiao Changfeng laughed with immense joy, "Our family's revenue has greatly increased over the past few days. If this continues, the Xiao family will undoubtedly become stronger and stronger."

"Of course! It's only a matter of time before our family becomes powerful. People are going crazy over the Heavenly Spirit Wine; several streets in Fengyue City are filled with people lining up!" Xiao Lei said excitedly, unable to conceal the excitement on his young face.

Xiao Kui, standing nearby, quickly added, "Some people even offered fifty middle-grade spirit stones to get a bottle ahead of others, but I didn't agree. Heh heh."

"Let's not get too happy too soon. Although the Xiao family is starting to develop, the Wang family is still strong and might take action against us. We must be careful," Xiao Chen said quietly.

Xiao Changfeng nodded, "Chen'er is right. Wang He is a cunning and treacherous man; he might be eyeing our Heavenly Spirit Wine formula!"

"If the Wang family gets hold of the formula, they will have a chance to turn things around. Given how popular the Heavenly Spirit Wine is now, the Wang family will stop at nothing to seize the formula! Wang He is in the Golden Core stage, very powerful; we can't contend with him," Xiao Yuntian said with a frown, his face growing serious, a flash of panic in his eyes.

"What... what should we do? If the Wang family really comes to kill us, we won't be able to stop them!" Xiao Lei also started to panic.

"Alright, everyone go back to your training and watch the situation closely," Xiao Chen said calmly, his eyes unwavering and resolute, showing no signs of panic.
