The shopkeeper's gaze immediately fell upon the jar.

"Just a small spoonful of this bud fragrance liquid is enough to enhance the aroma of a dish when cooking, and it can also increase the dish's original spiritual energy by three to four times," Qi Zhiheng explained.

The shopkeeper nodded: "Understood, understood. May I ask what price you intend to sell it for, young master?" This was what the shopkeeper cared about most.

This bud fragrance is not a rare item in the cultivation world. The ingredients used to make it include spiritual herbs of grades one, two, three, and four, but the main ones are grade two spiritual herbs, with one type of grade three and one type of grade four. If his soul power and spiritual power were not comparable to those of the early Foundation Establishment stage, he really wouldn't be able to make this bud fragrance liquid.

Qi Zhiheng weighed the pros and cons in his mind. After all his hard work, he figured he should be able to sell the Bud Fragrance Liquid for five times the price, right? So he held up one hand and said, "This amount."

The shopkeeper pondered for a moment, then held up two fingers and said, "Young master, five hundred spirit stones is indeed a bit expensive. How about two hundred spirit stones?"

Qi Zhiheng forced himself to remain calm and bargained, saying, "Three hundred spirit stones, that's the lowest I can go."

The shopkeeper readily agreed and immediately signed a contract with Qi Zhiheng.

After the contract was signed, the shopkeeper immediately counted out three hundred spirit stones and handed them to Qi Zhiheng, then picked up the small jar on the table as well.

The shopkeeper, holding the jar, beamed with joy and said to Qi Zhiheng, "Then we won't disturb your meal, young master. I'll take care of everything you ordered today." He figured that if he gave this to his superiors first, he might receive a real reward.

The waiter then brought out the remaining dishes.

Before leaving, the shopkeeper asked Qi Zhiheng if there would be more next time.

Qi Zhiheng gave him a communication talisman and told him to contact him directly next time.

The two continued their meal.

These dishes were all stir-fried with a special flavoring liquid, making them incredibly delicious. Yang Yitian ate them without even looking up.

The chefs in this restaurant are indeed far more skilled than Qi Zhiheng, a novice who has just entered the culinary world. The taste is many times better.

Despite the truth of the matter, Yang Yitian still went against his conscience and praised, "Your cooking is still the best."

Qi Zhiheng knew that Yang Yitian was talking nonsense, but he was still very satisfied with the praise.

The two of them ate and drank to their hearts' content in the restaurant, finishing every last dish on the table and stuffing themselves until their bellies were round and full.

Back in the rented courtyard, Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian went to see the unfinished wine.

Seeing that the spiritual power of the talisman array was about to collapse, Qi Zhiheng immediately buried more than a dozen spirit stones in it.

Qi Zhiheng sighed, "This spirit array really consumes spirit stones. It's only been two days and it's already used up eight spirit stones." He just hoped that the wine produced this time could fetch a high price, otherwise he would suffer a huge loss.

Qi Zhiheng went inside and cast the Spirit Returning Spell on the two vats of fruit wine. He will cast the Spirit Returning Spell again tomorrow and the day after, and then the wine can be made.

The next day, Qi Zhiheng entered the space again and cast the Spirit Returning Technique on the spirit wine. Then he noticed something was wrong. The speed at which this time-accelerating array consumed spirit stones was too fast. He had only put in a dozen or so yesterday, but how come they were almost used up today?

Qi Zhiheng had a different opinion, so he decided to seek advice from the Moon Beast.
