Zhou Xingwen opened up the bag happily to reveal a gift box. The entire gift box was exuded cold air. He opened it carefully to unveil a small bowl, placed amidst large blocks of ice and filled with black pearl-like items.

As Zhou Xingwen smiled and looked at the curious Little Ru, he introduced it proudly,

“This is the caviar made using the eggs of Ice Shuttle Sturgeons, a type of ferocious fish found in the Western Sea.

“The Ice Shuttle Sturgeon is a precious fish from the Western Sea, and in the entire Western Sea, there are only two places that supply this. The highest quality caviar must be made from the eggs extracted from Ice Shuttle Sturgeons which weighed at least 20 jin or more. Each year, only about 30 jin of such caviar is produced.

“If you don’t have strong connections, there’s no way that you’ll be able to get your hands on it.”

Each egg appeared round and full. Exuding a faint golden glow, they looked just like small black pearls.

Little Ru asked curiously, “How do you eat this stuff?”

Zhou Xingwen closed the box, smiled, and said, “You can have it together with seafood, noodles, or even have it with bread as a snack. The great texture of the Ice Shuttle Sturgeon’s caviar makes it the king of all caviar. It’s cooling and refreshing, without any fishy stench. With an incomparably delicious taste, it is a delicacy of the human world.”

As he said this, he gulped unconsciously and then went on to say, “And the Ice Shuttle Sturgeon itself is a level 19 ferocious beast. If you eat its caviar, it’ll moisturize your skin, increase the defensive abilities of your skin’s surface and its ability to fight against cold and heat. It’s said that after eating the Ice Shuttle Sturgeon’s caviar, you’ll never have wrinkles in your entire life.”

Hearing this, Little Ru’s eyes immediately lit up. She stared at the caviar and asked, “Then how much is this Ice Shuttle Sturgeon’s caviar?”

Zhou Xingwen looked at Little Ru. He would usually not give a hoot about a maid like her, however, he felt she looked quite pretty with her innocent-looking face and great figure. Additionally, she had a well-rounded bosom which could not be concealed by her maid uniform. Any man who saw her would probably have wicked thoughts.

In particular, seeing her standing together with Fang Xingjian… Zhou Xingwen was not sure if Fang Xingjian was interested in her. Therefore, he spoke unconsciously in a polite tone, “This isn’t a matter of money. Of course, if you want to talk about the price, the 500 grams here should cost about one thousand gold.”

When Little Ru heard the price for the Ice Shuttle Sturgeon’s caviar, she drew in a deep breath. That sum of money would allow a person to purchase one of the best manors at the exterior of the Great Western City.

However, considering how it came from a level 19 ferocious beast and had the ability to strengthen one’s attributes and improve one’s skin conditions, she felt the price was not unexpected.

However, to her, it was still much too expensive.

However, Fang Xingjian did not stand on ceremony and accepted the Ice Shuttle Sturgeon’s caviar. Since Zhou Xingwen had gone to so much trouble and had been so attentive to where Fang Xingjian went and what he liked… even to the extent of specially searching for good ingredients for food… Zhou Xingwen was considered to be very sincere.

Therefore, Fang Xingjian smiled slightly and said, “The Ice Shuttle Sturgeon’s caviar is not bad. Let’s see… we can reduce the one million gold by one thousand.”

Inwardly, Zhou Xingwen coughed up some blood. He felt that this Fang Xingjian was a truly stingy person who was unwilling to spare even the smallest amount of money.

Zhou Xingwen smiled helplessly and changed the topic, asking, “Xingjian, why have you come to the Sword Arts Department?”

Little Ru was still staring at that extremely valuable Ice Shuttle Sturgeon’s caviar, but when she heard Zhou Xingwen’s question, she also turned to look at Fang Xingjian.

Looking at Fang Xingjian now, she felt that he seemed to appear even more handsome than before. His great power, mysterious disposition, and the food he ate which easily cost a fortune… all of these encompassed the Fang Xingjian in Little Ru’s eyes with a layer of light.

Fang Xingjian walked on as he said, “I’ve created a set of sword technique and am here to register it.”

Hearing that, Zhou Xingwen’s eyes lit up and he asked, “What sword technique is that?”
