Chapter 676: Azure Dragon Divine Fire (2/2)
Picking up the jug, Huang Xiaolong filled his wine bowl, raised it, and took a mouthful.
As the liquid entered his mouth, it felt smooth and fragrant. The aftertaste made one reluctant to put it down. His entire body’s pores opened in delight.
Huang Xiaolong was at a loss for words to describe this feeling. Comparing to all the wines he had tasted before with this Royal Pill Wine, the difference was like heaven and earth.
Ten million for a jug was well worth it!
The current Huang Xiaolong wasn’t afraid of spending money, only afraid that there was no place for him to spend.
After he broke through to Seventh Order, becoming a high-level God Realm cultivator, he could already condense the spiritual energy from the void into saint grade spirit stones.
Shi Xiaofei usually didn't drink, but looking at Huang Xiaolong’s reaction, she was intrigued, thus pouring some into her wine bowl and taking a small sip. Her expression was no different than Huang Xiaolong’s.
“How is it? The wine your Master recommend is not bad, right?” The Ascending Moon Old Man smiled smugly looking at Huang Xiaolong.
In Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, no matter how he looked at it, the old man was asking for a beating. Despite that, Huang Xiaolong honestly answered: “It’s very good.”
This Royal Pill Wine could be considered the king of wine.
“Old man, this Royal Pill Wine, can we buy and take it away?” Huang Xiaolong added a question.
The Ascending Moon Old Man’s face split into a grin, “Why? You want to buy all the Royal Pill Wine here?” He did not answer Huang Xiaolong immediately, making a show of enjoying a mouthful of wine and swallowing slowly before answering, “We can take it away.”
Huang Xiaolong was elated.
At this point, the Ascending Moon Old Man added another sentence, “But, every person can only take away one jug.”
Every person can only take away one jug!
The elated Huang Xiaolong was instantly deflated. Then he glared angrily at the Ascending Moon Old Man opposite him; it was obvious this old man did that on purpose, speaking half a sentence, making him feel happy for nothing.
The Ascending Moon Old Man ignored Huang Xiaolong’s piercing gaze, “This is the Royal Pill House’s rule, nobody can break it. Regardless who comes in, every person can only order one jug.”
Huang Xiaolong was astounded.
“You kid think this Royal Pill Wine is so easy to brew? Just those one thousand sacred grade and above spirit pellets require untold amounts of elixirs, how many hours do alchemists needs to spend refining them?” The Ascending Moon Old Man rolled his eyes at Huang Xiaolong’s ignorance, then the old man suddenly smiled, “But with this tablet, an exception can be made. With this, everyone can order and take away two jugs!” He waved the black tablet in front of Huang Xiaolong, looking smug and triumphant.
Huang Xiaolong felt a strong impulse to punch that face.
In the next moment, however, the noise inside the restaurant rose as the customers discussed something that caught Huang Xiaolong’s interest.
At a table in the far corner, four people were talking about the upcoming Alchemist Grandmaster Competition.
“Have you all heard? The Azure Dragon Institute Principal’s personal disciple, Xiang Mingzhi, got his hands on the Azure Dragon Divine Fire!”
“Azure Dragon Divine Fire?! One of the four great divine flames, the Azure Dragon Divine Fire?!”
“That’s it! The news spread that not only did Xiang Mingzhi acquire the Azure Dragon Divine Fire, but he completely integrated with the divine flames. He is here with the Azure Dragon Institute Principal to participate in the Alchemist Grandmaster Competition. In my opinion, the Pill King of this term is none other than him!”
Each term’s first place winner was given the title Pill King.
