Chapter 676: Azure Dragon Divine Fire
“Old man, is that tablet this Royal Pill House’s privilege card?” Huang Xiaolong inquired curiously seeing that the old man’s black tablet was enough to terrify the restaurant owner to the point of kneeling.
The Ascending Moon Old Man waved his hand in an offhand manner, saying, “It was given to me in the past by one the Royal Pill House’s owners. If it weren’t because this thing is made from Black Phoenix Wood, I’d have thrown it away long ago.”
“Black Phoenix Wood!” Huang Xiaolong and Shi Xiaofei stared at the black tablet in surprise.
Black Phoenix Wood was a type of very expensive wood from the Divine World.
The Black Phoenix Tree was the place where the divine beast Black Phoenix nested. Over a long period of time, the tree was imbued the Black Phoenix’s vital qi, becoming invulnerable to water and fire. The Black Phoenix’s vital qi contained within could improve one’s physical body when keeping it close.
In the Divine World, this Black Phoenix Wood may not be valuable, but in the lower realm it was extremely precious. It was something that couldn’t be bought even if one had money.
The Ascending Moon Old Man was nonchalant despite Huang Xiaolong and Shi Xiaofei’s surprised faces, “This thing is not as precious as the two of you think.” As he spoke, he opened the jug of Royal Pill Wine that Deng Caizhi sent over. A tantalizing scent of wine immediately wafted out.
This wine scent made Huang Xiaolong and Shi Xiaofei feel rejuvenated and comfortable deep into their souls.
“Kid, to tell you honestly, this Royal Pill Wine is brewed from one thousand kinds of spirit pellets.” Watching the two youngsters’ reactions, the old man once again spoke with a complacent expression on his face. “And all of them are saint grade and above spirit pellets!”
Huang Xiaolong was genuinely shocked. One thousand kinds of saint grade and above spirit pellets!
He was shocked about this fact, but even more shocked at the price of this wine!
One must know that the price of one sacred grade and above spirit pellet was not lower than one saint grade spirit stone.
One thousand pellets... wasn’t that equivalent to one thousand sacred grade spirit stones? Then, how much did one jug of wine cost?!
Shi Xiaofei’s line of thought went in the same direction as Huang Xiaolong’s, dumbstruck by the one thousand kinds of sacred grade spirit pellets and the price.
The old man laughed, “Frightened? But, this Royal Pill Wine is not as expensive as you think. Although it was brewed using one thousand kinds of sacred grade and above spirit pellets, it is merely one-tenth of a pellet, or two-tenths of a pellet at most. As for the price, it’s ten million Xuanwu coins per jug.”
Ten million Xuanwu coins for one jug!
Huang Xiaolong was rendered speechless. This old man had the cheek to say that it wasn't expensive.
Purchasing a residence in the Cloudsea Mainland was around one billion, so buying a hundred jugs of this Royal Pill Wine was like getting a residence in the Black Warrior City!
With this kind of price, even those super forces’ Elders that had one billion on them would think thrice before coming here. If one jug of wine was already ten million Xuanwu coins, one could hardly do much with a mere one billion here.
Huang Xiaolong took a quick glance around at the nearly full premise and inwardly shook his head, it seems like there were many rich people in this world.
While Huang Xiaolong took a quick glance, customers around them were also furtively observing the people at Huang Xiaolong’s table.
A simple show of hand was worth billions of Xuanwu coins and piles of saint grade spirit stones, comparable to prominent families inside the Royal Pill City.
What caught these people’s attention was that black tablet the old man took out, what exactly was that? That black tablet with the single ‘pill’ character actually frightened the Royal Pill House’s owner to the point of kneeling respectfully toward the old man just like a slave as he personally served the wine to the old man’s table; bending his waist low with a flattering smile! Usually, even their Royal Pill City’s Castellan needed to speak politely with the owner.
Hence, they were even more curious this beggar-like old man’s identity.
But it was if the Ascending Moon Old Man did not notice the curious stares directed at him. Raising the wine bowl to his mouth, he drank a mouthful and smacked his lips in appreciation, “It’s still that flavor, still as good! If there was no Royal Pill Wine, coming to Royal Pill City would be meaningless!” Finished saying that, disregarding his image, the old man used his sleeve to wipe the wine stained on his beard.
Huang Xiaolong felt it funny watching the old man’s intoxicated expression, but he was very interested in how this Royal Pill Wine tasted, if it was really as good as the old man’s praises.
