Xu Feng's heart sank. This Qingfeng Jade Liquid was a necessary prerequisite for becoming a sword-controlling master. If he couldn't obtain a jar of Qingfeng Jade Liquid, how could he attract the attention of the Drunken Sword Immortal?

"Boss, I have been longing for this Qingfeng Yuye for a long time. Please make sure to fulfill my wish!" After saying that, Xu Feng handed the gold ingot on the table forward and continued, "I only want to buy one jar. If the money is not enough, just give me a price. I will do everything I can to make up the money."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly waved his hands and said, "No matter how precious Qingfeng Yuye is, it is just a local wine brewed in our own tavern. It is not worthy of being served in a high-class restaurant. This one or two ounces of gold is more than enough to buy a jar of Qingfeng Yuye, but..."

Seeing the embarrassment on the shopkeeper's face, Xu Feng knew that it would not be so easy to buy the Qingfeng Jade Liquid, so he immediately asked, "If the shopkeeper has any requirements, please feel free to ask!"

"My dear guest, if it was in the past, or in a few months, it would be absolutely no problem for you to spend one or two taels of gold to buy only a jar of Qingfeng Yuye, but..." The shopkeeper glanced at the gate and whispered, "In the past few days, a bandit named Qingfengzi came to the town and stole from many wealthy families in the town. The town lord's mansion has issued an official letter, asking the town guards to capture him within a time limit. In order to lure out this bandit, the town guards have requisitioned all the Qingfeng Yuye in our store..."

The shopkeeper showed a helpless look on his face. It was unheard of that in order to capture a bandit, the tavern's fine wine was requisitioned.

"It's not enough to give them Qingfengzui. We must requisition Qingfeng Yuye!" The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Not only our small shop, but also dozens of rolls of fine silk from the silk shop across the street, a dozen pieces of gold and silver jewelry from the jewelry store opposite, and more than a hundred stones of fine rice from the grain store..."

When Xu Feng heard this, he immediately understood that the town guard was probably using chicken feathers as a token of authority to ransack the town and extort money and property.

"Boss, what you mean is..." Xu Feng showed a puzzled look on his face. Would he ask him to break into the town guard and take back all the requisitioned wine?

"Could it be that the mission has become more difficult because I entered at the wrong time? No, that shouldn't be the case. Although there is a lot of randomness in obtaining the initial mission, how could such a mission that is obviously a suicide mission be completed by someone who hasn't even obtained an initial profession?" Xu Feng thought to himself.

"Dear guest, if you want Qingfeng Yuye, you must first prepare all the materials for brewing Qingfeng Yuye for me. As long as you can prepare all the materials for me, I can let you drink Qingfeng Yuye today!" The shopkeeper stared at Xu Feng and said in a low voice.

"So you're here to prepare materials. I thought you wanted me to go to the town guard at night!" Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and asked, "Boss, what materials do you need? Tell me, and I'll go collect them for you!"

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face suddenly lit up with joy. He grabbed Xu Feng's hands, looking overjoyed, and said quickly: "Hahaha, if that's true, then I really have to thank you very much, come here, I have a detailed list here, please take a look!"

After saying that, the shopkeeper took out a long list from his pocket and handed it to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng took a quick look and immediately took a breath of cold air. He couldn't help but ask, "Hiss, do you need so many materials?"

There are as many as 50 or 60 kinds of materials on this list alone. Not to mention the difficulty of collecting each one, it is impossible to complete them in just one or two days...

"This is too much!" Xu Feng frowned.

The shopkeeper took a look at Xu Feng's face, coughed twice, pointed to the three ingredients on the list and said, "In fact, the shop has already prepared all the other ingredients. Now we only need these three. As long as they can be brought, there will be no problem with a jar of Qingfeng Yuye!"

Xu Feng looked at the three ingredients the shopkeeper pointed to.

[One golden fish, one pound of tiger bones, one pound of long-stemmed rice]

"Mortal grade, mortal grade, top grade. Although I have never seen this spiritual rice before, it must be of mortal grade. I didn't expect that brewing a Qingfeng Yuye would require so many mortal grade ingredients..." Xu Feng looked at the list with his teeth gnashing his teeth, his face full of embarrassment.

"Tiger bones are easy. I have five kilograms in my arms, so it won't hurt to give him one kilogram. The golden-patterned fish is also easy. Since the Qingfeng Jade Liquid is exchanged with these materials, there is no need for gold. If I give birth to one ounce, I can just buy one fish, and I can still have five taels of silver left. I just don't know if five taels of silver are enough to buy this long-stemmed spiritual rice?" Xu Feng pondered for a moment and felt that although this task was a bit difficult for him, he was not completely clueless and had no idea what to do.

"No problem. As long as you can bring these three materials, I will give you a jar of Qingfeng Yuye on the spot!" The shopkeeper promised, patting his chest.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

[You have talked to a native resident of the Qingfeng Town Secret Realm, and the mission is completed 5/10]

[You have a pleasant conversation with the tavern owner in Qingfeng Town and receive a task from him. The tavern owner's impression of you increases by 3 points. You have opened Qingfeng Town reputation. Your Qingfeng Town reputation is now indifferent 720/1000]

…

Xu Feng first ran to the river and bought a golden fish from a fisherman for five taels of silver, and then hurried to the only grain store in the town.

As soon as he ran to the door of the grain store, Xu Feng heard loud scolding coming from the store.

"Where's Xiaohua? Why is Xiaohua gone?"

"What are you doing? You can't even take care of a child. What's the point of having you?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Everyone, go out and look for her. If you can't find Xiaohua, you don't have to come back. Get out of here!"

Angry roars came from the grain store. Soon, a group of people came out of the grain store and ran to various corners of the town in panic.

At the door of the grain store, a fat man with a bloated figure and wearing a gorgeous satin gown was sitting on the threshold, covering his face with his hands and crying softly. Tears seeped out from between his carrot-like fingers, and he looked very miserable.

"Xiaohua, my daughter, where have you been? Don't leave your daddy alone..." The fat man sobbed softly, looking very sad.

This fat man is the owner of the grain store, and Xu Feng believes that this is the most likely place to sell long-stemmed spiritual rice.

"Ahem, boss, boss?" Although the other party was crying very sadly, in order to complete the task, Xu Feng could only disturb him when he was most sad.

The fat man raised his head, his face full of tears and a confused expression made the grain store owner look very pitiful.

"Boss, I'd like to ask, do you sell long-stemmed rice?" Xu Feng asked cautiously.
