After entering the Immortal Drunk, before Xu Shan could observe the surrounding environment, a huge amount of spiritual energy instantly filled his body! Xu Shan secretly marveled. It was indeed as Huang Zhiwen had said. The spiritual energy inside the building was abundant. The richness of this spiritual energy was far beyond what the Shuijing Domain could compare to. If he could cultivate here, with the help of Zhang Biao's ability, his cultivation base would surely advance by leaps and bounds. Unfortunately, he didn't dare to circulate his spiritual power. Usually, when he cultivated, he would hide. Zhang Biao's ability to absorb spiritual energy was too powerful. In a place like Li Jia Village, when he cultivated, it was always intermittent because the surrounding spiritual energy couldn't keep up with the supply at all. If he circulated his spiritual power even a little here, he would definitely be discovered to be abnormal.
Xu Shan adjusted his mood and began to observe the surroundings. There were quite a few guests on the first floor. It was around 2 p.m. now, but still about 70% of the seats were occupied. Basically, there was only one wine pot in front of each person. The guests picked up a small wine cup and savored the wine carefully.
However, before Xu Shan could look around more, Huang Zhiwen had already directly walked towards the second floor. The number of guests on the second floor was suddenly much less. There was still a pot of wine on the table, but the spiritual energy and aroma emanating from the wine pot were already overflowing. Even Xu Shan could clearly feel its extraordinary nature.
Huang Zhiwen continued to go up and directly reached the third floor. There were only a few guests on the third floor. With the same area as the first floor, there was only one person drinking. An old man in a brocade robe was sitting by the window. He was slightly surprised when he saw Huang Zhiwen coming up.
Huang Zhiwen obviously also noticed the old man. He nodded and smiled as a greeting, then directly led Xu Shan to find a seat.
Xu Shan was still observing. The situation on the third floor was different from that on the second floor. The strong aroma of wine on the second floor was gone. Although the wine pots on the seats were very gorgeously decorated, the wine in them didn't seem to give off any fragrance. It seemed to be a more advanced spiritual wine.
After the two of them sat down for a while, a person who looked like the shopkeeper smiled and leaned beside Huang Zhiwen, saying, "Young Master Huang, it's rare to see you. What would you like to drink today?"
"Bring out the wine I've stored. That's all I need."
The "shopkeeper" didn't say much and turned around to get the wine.
Xu Shan looked at him curiously and smiled, saying, "Young Master Huang? Sect Master, you're quite imposing. It seems you often come to such places."
Huang Zhiwen waved his hand and smiled, saying, "The things here aren't cheap. I only came here occasionally before. After reaching the Golden Core stage, except for satisfying my taste buds, the spiritual wine here doesn't bring me much benefit anymore."
"With your current strength, you can at most drink two cups. If you drink more, you'll probably get drunk, and it won't be good for your body either."
After a while, the "shopkeeper" brought a pot of wine and wine utensils and placed them on the table in front of the two. "Yuanling Wine. Please enjoy it slowly, sirs."
Huang Zhiwen raised his hand and poured two cups of wine. He picked up the wine cup and said, "This journey, I wish you all the best!"
"Without further ado, it's all in the wine!" Xu Shan picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hey, wait... Circulate your spiritual power to dissolve the effect of the wine!" Huang Zhiwen showed a helpless expression and took a small sip of the wine.
This wine... was very strong, and the spiritual energy in it was very violent. It couldn't be drunk like this. Xu Shan was so reckless. He was probably going to suffer soon.
Sure enough, as soon as the wine went down his throat, Xu Shan's face suddenly changed. He hunched over and lay on the table, his body trembling slightly. That spiritual energy was like a mass of broken blades that went directly from his throat to his abdomen. He quickly circulated his spiritual power to dissolve it, and the huge amount of spiritual energy began to be decomposed and absorbed under the circulation of his spiritual power.
The old man by the window watched Xu Shan's performance with great interest. This young man obviously came to such a place for the first time. Who would drink it all in one gulp?
However, in an instant, the old man's face began to look a bit strange. After a short period of pain, Xu Shan had already straightened up and let out a long sigh.
"Indeed amazing." Huang Zhiwen raised his eyebrows and said, "All right now?"
"Yeah, all right." Xu Shan nodded and kept taking deep breaths.
The effect of this wine was indeed too strong. Drinking it was like being tortured. Besides the spiritual energy, it seemed to have some other effects. Now his entire Dantian was warm, and he felt quite good.
Huang Zhiwen was stunned and shook his head with a smile, saying, "As expected of someone with dual spiritual roots... truly amazing."
After saying that, he poured another cup of wine for Xu Shan. "Drink slowly. There's no rush. Actually, before you leave, I have something to ask you. I still don't quite understand some parts of the plan you gave me last time. I don't know how to implement it when I go back."
"What part don't you understand?"
"The part about small profits but quick turnover. According to the plan you calculated for me, the cost that Baodan Sect has to bear seems a bit high. I'm afraid other pill cultivation sects will compete with us head-on. You know, this kind of thing is easy to imitate."
Xu Shan raised his hand and said, "Sect Master, small profits but quick turnover is just the most basic plan. Did you forget that I also wrote about combined sales earlier? As long as you can use the methods properly, with more sales, the profits may not necessarily be thin. How about I give you an intuitive demonstration today? Whether it works or not, it's roughly the idea. You just need to understand the core."
"Sure."
Xu Shan straightened up and directly walked towards the old man by the window. Huang Zhiwen's expression was stunned. Before he could stop him, Xu Shan had already walked up to the old man and sat down.
This kid... really has no bounds to his courage. Those who can come to the third floor are no ordinary people. He actually went to sell pills to that person?
However, after thinking for a while, Huang Zhiwen smiled again. The development of Baodan Sect in the past five years has been quite smooth. If there's going to be some trouble this time, it might be good for him to stumble a bit.
The old man was a bit surprised when he saw Xu Shan directly sitting in front of him.
"Your junior, Bu Jingyun, is disturbing you, Senior."
The old man showed an amused expression and said indifferently, "It's all right. Do you have something to say to me?"
"Yes. Your junior was originally a wandering cultivator. I came to Lu Wang City intending to go out for training, but I'm short of money. I want to sell some pills to you in exchange for spirit stones. I wonder if you're willing?" Xu Shan said straightforwardly.
"Sure. Take them out and let me have a look. But I won't be interested in ordinary pills."
"It's definitely of good quality and low price, and it will satisfy you, Senior."
As Xu Shan spoke, he took out a Divine Fragrance Pill in a brocade box and said, "This is the Divine Fragrance Pill. After taking it, you can avoid the pain of being covered in filth during the body purification process. Even if your cultivation base is so high that you don't need to go through body purification anymore, this pill can also make your body exude a delicate fragrance, which can greatly enhance your image."
"I can see that your temperament is outstanding. If you use this pill, it will undoubtedly be the icing on the cake."
The old man picked up the pill and sneered, "I've heard of the Divine Fragrance Pill. In the past two years, some people have been selling it in Lu Wang City, and they've been promoting it everywhere, saying that it can eliminate inner demons."
"It's true that this pill can make people exude a fragrance, and the sales are quite brisk. But this thing isn't rare. How much do you want to sell it for?"
"Twenty middle-grade spirit stones per pill."
"Twenty middle-grade spirit stones? Young man, there aren't many people as brave as you. You dare to cheat in the Immortal Drunk?" The old man was clearly annoyed. ...
