Chapter 193: Investigating the Absolute Soul Pearl’s Whereabouts
Reserved all of it!
Both young men had an ugly expression on their face.
When one of them was about to speak, his companion held him back while shaking his head slightly. He then turned around with a faint smile towards Xie Puti, “Since Younger Brother Puti has reserved the remaining Sapidity Wine for today, then us brothers will visit another day!” He pulled his companion up and out from the restaurant in front of Huang Xiaolong, Xie Puti, and Chen Cheng after ending his sentence.
Watching the two silhouettes leaving, Xie Puti spoke, directing his words at Huang Xiaolong, “Those two have some relation to you.”
“Related to me?” Huang Xiaolong was baffled.
Xie Puti nodded, “They are members of the Guo Family.”
Guo Family!
Huang Xiaolong instantly understood that the Guo Family Xie Puti referred to was one and the same as Guo Tai’s Guo Family. Guo Family’s Million Treasure Firm was one of Duanren Empire’s three biggest firms, thus it was no wonder the two people acted like some parvenus the moment they entered the restaurant, reserving all of the Sapidity Wine before they were formally seated.
“The portly one is called Guo Zhi, the other is Guo Fei. They are brothers and their father is Guo Shiwen, Guo Shiyuan eldest brother. He also happens to be the recognized next in line as the Guo Family’s Patriarch.” Xie Puti added.
Huang Xiaolong nodded, this meant Guo Zhi and Guo Fei were Guo Tai’s elder cousin brothers. Later, when his younger sister married into the Guo Family, she would be referring to him as Eldest Uncle.
By this time, the restaurant waiter had already sent all the remaining over one hundred jugs of wine to their table.
Xie Puti laughed, “Come, have a taste of this Sapidity Wine. I can guarantee after today, you’ll be wanting to come here every day!” Xie Puti opened a jug and passed it to Huang Xiaolong. Immediately, a scent of aromatic wine filled the air.
Huang Xiaolong took the jug, sniffed lightly and took a sip. A piquant flavor filled his mouth as the liquid slid down his throat, so extremely smooth that he was already savoring the taste before it disappeared. Just as Xie Puti claimed, this Sapidity Wine was way better than the Beauty Allure Wine.
Not too long after, the restaurant waiter returned with some delicious side dishes for Huang Xiaolong’s table. In the Sapidity Wine House, guests that bought more than three jugs of wine were served a table of good dishes free of charge.
Thus, sounds of wine cups clinking sounded continuously from Huang Xiaolong’s table. The three of them drank every last drop of the one hundred and twenty-three jugs of wine.
Huang Xiaolong and Xie Puti did not think too much about it. Chen Cheng’s heart, however, was bleeding at the damage.
One hundred twenty-three jugs of Sapidity Wine was equivalent to one million two hundred and thirty thousand gold coins ah!
Although Chen Cheng’s family was considered a large force in the Luo Tong Kingdom, they would be incapable of gathering so many gold coins even if they had sold all the pots and pans in their mansion.
Not long after, the trio left the restaurant, returning to the dormitory yard.
Midway there, Chen Cheng separated from them.
Back in the first yard of area ninety-eight, Huang Xiaolong looked around his room carefully for the first time. The room was not big, roughly about twenty square feet. Decorating the room was a cold jade bed and some simple furniture, such as a dresser with a couple of drawers.
A cold jade bed… although cultivating on it could increase the speed of gathering spiritual energy, it no longer had the same effect for Huang Xiaolong. Not to mention the cold jade bed inside his Asura Ring was many times better than this one.
After a brief tour of his room, Huang Xiaolong separated from Xie Puti and took a look around Duanren Institute by himself.
Of course he would remember his most important aim when enrolling into Duanren Institute.
Number four on the Heavenly Treasure List, Absolute Soul Pearl!
For now he had the number nine, Linglong Treasure Pagoda, and the number six, God Binding Ring. If he could acquire and refine the Absolute Soul Pearl as well, his cultivation speed would increase again. He needed to speed up his cultivation to reach the Saint realm as soon as possible.
According to what Zhao Shu said, his Senior Brother Chen Tianqi probably had broken through to Saint realm Sixth Order. Even if he hadn’t reached Saint realm Sixth Order, at the very least, he stood at peak late-Saint realm Fifth Order.
