The two women looked at the fine wine on their table. When they got closer and took a sip, they felt their magical power surge and even their souls grow stronger!
"Excellent wine!" the woman in white exclaimed.
"Xiao Xing, bring out the owner of this wine shop. I want to reward him in person."
Xiaoxing was about to get up when she heard this, but a sneer came from the table next to them.
"You two girls, don't make a fool of yourselves. I haven't even had the chance to meet the owner of this place, let alone you two?"
The two women looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the speaker was the old beggar they had previously looked down on.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xing was about to take action, but the woman in white stopped her.
"This old gentleman seems to know about our background?"
The old beggar chuckled and said, "Don't think that just because you are close ministers of the Mysterious Celestial Venerable, you can act with impunity."
The woman in white was taken aback upon hearing this, seemingly having guessed the beggar's background.
She said softly, "May I ask if you are from beyond this realm, senior?"
The old beggar shook his head and said, "I am not some outsider; I am just a drunken old beggar."
The woman in white understood. She realized that the old beggar was indeed from another region, but he was just being self-deprecating because he couldn't find good wine.
She remembered that the Mysterious Celestial Venerable had told her that the Kunwu Sea had not been peaceful in recent years. Hundreds of Primordial Chaos Realm experts and even Heavenly Dao Realm experts had come to the sea, which had been inhabited for tens of thousands of years. He advised them to be careful when traveling.
“Xuan Ranlu greets Senior. I was ignorant earlier and almost offended you. Please punish me.”
Since Xuanmiao returned to the Zhengde world, although he was grieving the death of his father, it was not a true death. He could be resurrected after ten thousand years. Therefore, he took many concubines, and Xuanranluo was one of them.
To put it nicely, these people are the Daoist partners of the Mysterious Celestial Venerable; to put it bluntly, they are kept canaries, utterly useless except for their looks.
Therefore, even knowing that Xuanmiao Shengwei was invincible, Xuanranluo did not dare to be disrespectful to other Hunyuan.
Today, she came to this wine shop, which is said to be able to enlighten immortals, just to have some fun in the mortal world. Unexpectedly, she encountered a powerful expert from beyond the realm!
The old beggar glanced at Xiaoxing indifferently, but with just that casual glance, Xiaoxing felt as if she were being stared at by a wild beast, and cold sweat poured down her back.
"Senior... I had no intention of offending you, please spare my life!"
After saying this, she bowed deeply. Normally, she relied on her birth and didn't care about anyone except her master. But when facing Hunyuan, did she know that even if this old beggar killed her, Xuanmiao Tianzun would not come to ask for an explanation for a mere maid like her?
After all, she was in the wrong first. Those who do not respect the Primordial Chaos shall be destroyed!
"Alright, do you have any immortal crystals on you?" the old beggar suddenly asked.
Xuan Ranluo's beautiful face froze for a moment, then she nodded and said, "I brought some. What use do you have for me, Senior?"
The old beggar laughed and said, "I hope you can afford to compensate for the losses of this wine shop and pay the bill."
Xuan Ranlu had a bad feeling and looked up to ask, "What does this mean, senior? I am new here and do not know the details. Please tell me."
The old beggar suddenly pointed seriously to a bottle of wine on her table and said, "Do you know what kind of wine this is? How much is it worth?"
Xuan Ranluo had no idea about these things and shook her head, saying, "This humble woman does not know, please enlighten me, senior!"
"This wine is called Enlightenment Wine, and just this one bottle is worth three million immortal crystals!"
Xuan Ranlu frowned and said, "How can it be so expensive! Enlightenment Wine, can it really help people achieve enlightenment?"
The old beggar nodded and said, "You're right, this is the celestial wine that can help people enter a state of enlightenment. It works on everyone below the level of a sage!"
Fearing that Xuan Ranluo might not yet understand the consequences, he pointed and said, "This is Jade Dew Wine, which can repair internal injuries. It is a rare healing item that can even benefit a saint. It is worth two million immortal crystals."
"This is Qionghua wine, which can be used to condense a second primordial spirit. It is worth two million immortal crystals."
"This is the Ever-Changing Wine, which can be used to condense external avatars. It is worth 2.5 million immortal crystals."
"This is the Myriad Laws Wine, which can be used to deepen one's understanding of one's own laws. It is worth 3.3 million immortal crystals."
"..."
The old beggar knew them all like the back of his hand. He had tasted each one. The wine was good, but it was too expensive. He had almost spent all his money. He only hoped to buy the recipe for "Three Bowls Down" and mix it himself.
"Girl, these fifty-odd kinds of wine on the table are worth over 100 million immortal crystals. Do you have that many immortal crystals?"
The people in the wine shop listened to the old beggar's tale with rapt attention, looking at him with envy and admiration for his experience of trying every single one of the wines.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ranluo couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. Who would spend over a hundred million immortal crystals on drinking?
Even if she had it, she wasn't going to give it away! Just kidding, she's practically the matriarch of the Zhengde world now, and she can obtain everything in this world through the Mysterious Celestial Venerable, including this wine shop!
The old beggar seemed to see through her thoughts and said calmly, "You seem to be trying to renege on your debt?"
"I... I don't have that many immortal crystals on me."
Xuan Ranluo wanted to deny it, but since the person in front of him was a Hunyuan expert, he had no choice but to admit it and tell the truth.
The old beggar said sternly, "Here's a piece of advice: don't even think about renege on your debt. You'd better send a message to the Mysterious Celestial Venerable to bring you the money, otherwise..."
The old beggar paused and said, "You're probably going to die!"
After he finished speaking, he threw a storage ring on his table and disappeared, leaving only one sentence in the air.
"And you also damaged the store counter. Based on past experience, you'll have to pay 300 million immortal crystals in compensation. Plus, there's the loss from injuring the waiter. That'll add up to about 700 million..."
Xuan Ranlu stared blankly at the dozens of wine bottles in front of him, seemingly lost in thought.
Seeing that the old beggar had left, Xiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief and resumed her arrogant self, saying in a carefree manner, "Miss, this wine shop is not doing business, it's practically robbery. We don't need to pay attention to it. Let's hurry back to the palace. Once we get to the palace, I doubt the owner will dare to chase after us to demand payment for the wine."
Snap!
Xiao Xing covered her face, looking at Xuan Ranluo, who treated her like a sister, in disbelief, which made her tremble for a moment.
Xuan Ranlu ignored her and called to the waiter, "Young man, I haven't drunk any of these wines yet, could you please cancel them?"
The waiter, the one who had just been hit, sneered, "Ladies, once the bottle cap is opened, the effects inside will continue to disappear, so it cannot be returned."
Xiao Xing covered her face with her right hand and pointed at the waiter with her left hand, shouting, "You trash! We are people of the Mysterious Celestial Venerable, the rulers of this world! Quickly tell your boss to come out and kneel to welcome us, or my young lady will make you wish you were dead!"
Although Xiao Er knew of the name of Xuanmiao Tianzun, he had worked there for a long time and knew that Meng Fan once said: No one can be allowed to buy on credit, including Xuanmiao Tianzun!
