Chapter 187 Promoting Wine
" Haah! These dishes are pretty good."
" Mhm, The ingredients contain rich true qi inside them. The meat of the demonic beasts is tender and fresh. The chef really managed to seal their taste in the dishes." Meng Zhi licked her lips as she enjoyed the dishes.
" Hmm, But these are still pale before Brother Long's cuisine." Ming Yuexin chuckled.
" Is that so?" Meng Zhi raised her brows. " I heard that the chef of Seven Leaf Restaurant was the imperial chef of the Holy Qilin Imperial Family. Are you saying Little Brother Long's culinary skill is that good?"
" Heh, It looks like sister Meng hasn't eaten dishes made by Long Ming, huh?" Mu Qinglian chuckled. " Oh my, You really missed a good thing."
" Haah?" Meng Zhi pouted as she glanced at Long Ming. " This is nt fair, Little Brother Long. Now, Both of them are bullying me. You must compensate me."
" Hmm, This Fleeting Wind Wine is really strong." Long Ming took a sip as he nodded. " It got the distinct flavor of the wind element, one can feel like he is standing outside on a windy day."
" However, The wind qi inside it is too much, tipping off the balance of other flavors." Long Ming added. " Of course, it's still inferior to my Four Seasons True Wine."
Long Ming chuckled as he took out his Heavenly Urn of Frozen Flame. The moment the Four Seasons True Wine poured out from the jar, a refreshing fragrance of wine spread across the entire floor.
" Hehe, No matter what, Little Brother Long's personally brewed wine is the best." Meng Zhi smacked her lips as she took the cup of wine.
The moment everyone drank it, they felt the four seasons' true qi circulating their body on their own.
" Mm, This wine is best for any disciples of Four Seasons Valley." Ming Yuexin closed her eyes as she savored the flavor.
After all, the wine was made by Long Ming's understanding of the intent of the four seasons. If a disciple with a better comprehension contemplates their technique while drinking the wine, they could gain insights easily.
However, as they were having a good time, an old man suddenly walked to their table.
" Hoho, Such fragrant wine. It's been a while since this old daoist smelled such fragrance." The old man sighed as he looked at Long Ming. " Little brother, If you don't mind, how about you share some wine with me?"
" This elder, Since you are asking for my wine, I won't refuse it." Long Ming raised his brows. " However, What do you think the price of this wine is?"
" Haha, I dare not to tell before tasting it." The old man sighed. " But, Such a fragrance, color, and rich true qi, there are not many wines in the Eastern Province that can match it."
" Well, Since elder said that, I won't ask for money before you taste it." Long Ming chuckled as he poured the Four Seasons True Wine into a jade cup.
The multicolored wine slowly separated into four colors before blending with each other once again.
" This…Mmm…"
The old man became startled when he took a sip of the wine. As he closed his eyes and savored the wine, Long Ming glanced at him with his Heavenly Revelation Eyes.
' Peak of Harmonization Realm, I can even see the faint aura of water qi?from his body.' Long Ming pondered in his heart. However, What made him curious was that the belt was worn by the old man.
The insignia on it made him remember something. Long ago, He helped an old man in Grand Sky City to unlock the secret of a painting with his mastery of zither. The old man gave him some spirit stones along with a token. It looked almost the same, but the token held by Long Ming was made with purple gold.
" What a wine! To think I had the fate to taste such heavenly wine today!" The old man finished the cup in a single gulp as he smacked his lips. However, it was evident that he couldn't get sated with a mere cup of wine.
" So, Esteemed Elder, Are you willing to spend 50,000 High grade spirits stones to purchase a jar of wine?"?Long Ming grinned.
" What? 50,000 High grade spirit stones for a single jar?!" The old man sobered as he almost jumped.
" Elder, You know I am not trying to swindle you." Long Ming chuckled. " Sister Meng, Am I not telling the truth?"
" Indeed." Meng Zhi jumped in. " You can only find this wine in the Eternal Spring Tower of Grand Sky City. Not to mention, the wine there is the inferior version of this wine."
" Hehe, If Elder is short of money, You can go there and purchase the wine at a low price." Ming Yuexin giggled.
" It's truly a fate that I tasted such wine." The old man sighed as he placed a ring before Long Ming. " Here, 100,000 High grade spirit stones. Please give me two jars worth of wine."
" Here, Elder. This is called Four Seasons True Wine, made by Four Seasons Valley." Long Ming poured the wine into a jade bottle.
" Four Seasons Valley? Interesting, After years, they are again in highlight." The old man was startled " After all, An imperial lineage with three Heavenly Emperors can't fall so easily."
" Eh? You have me four jars of wine?" The old man saw the quantity and he was surprised.
" Haha, Elder, Please treat it as the meeting gift from juniors." Long Ming smiled. " However, I hope you can give me the answer to a small question."
" Yes?"
" This token…" Long Ming merely showed the token to the old man. But it was enough for the old man to recognize it.
" This… Purple Gold token of Rain Dragon Commerce?" The old man trembled as he was shocked. " Little brother, Where did you get this? This is the proof that you are a VIP customer of Rain Dragon Commerce."
" What? Rain Dragon Commerce?" Meng Zhi and others were startled when they heard that.
" What's this Rain Dragon Commerce?" Long Ming was confused.
" Little Brother Long, The Rain Dragon Commerce one of the top commerce companies across the entire continent. They influence the flow of spirit stones, rare treasures, and medicinal pills across the continent." Meng Zhi explained.
" For example, The Hundred Treasure Pavilion was a store operated by them. There are hundreds of stores across the Eastern Province, not to mention the entire Rain Dragon Continent."
" This lady is wise." The old man nodded hurriedly. " Not to mention, this Purple Gold Token can give you a 30% discount while purchasing treasures from the Rain Dragon Commerce."
" I am Zhu Yuan, an elder of the Eastern Province branch of Rain Dragon Commerce."
" Well, Long ago, I met an elder who carried a mysterious painting and a zither in Grand Sky City. I helped in unlocking the painting, so he gave me this token as a gift."
" Could it be…"
Zhu Yuan seemed to realize something as he cupped his fist. " Little brother, It seems you are the benefactor of someone important in Rain Dragon Commerce. This Purple Gold Token is legit. So, Please keep it safe and use it during the purchase in Rain Dragon Commerce."
" Haha, Since Elder Zhu Yuan confirmed it, I have no doubt." Long Ming cupped his fist. " Please, Enjoy your food and wine."
" Thank you too, Little Brother. You really made my day."
After Zhu Yuan went back to his seat, the three girls looked at Long Ming with shocked gaze.
" When did you get the Purple Gold Token?" Mu Qinglian was shocked.
" Remember when we helped an old man in Grand Sky City while putting up promotional banners of our Eternal Spring Tower?"
" Interesting, Not many can have their hands on such a treasure." Meng Zhi smacked her lips. " Little brother is hiding so many things."
" Well, Since we have finished dining, How about going back?" Long Ming chuckled.
All of them looked at each other as they nodded. Long Ming suddenly glanced at Meng Zhi as he remembered something.
" Sister Meng, Can you come with me? I need to talk with you about something."
" Oh my, Could it be…" Meng Zhi put a shocked expression on her face. " Little brother finally fell to my charms?"
Both Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian reacted like startled cats whose hairs stood on its end. Long Ming could feel their fierce gazes as he gave a dry cough as he waved his hands.
" Big Sister Meng, Please don't joke like that. It's something about your cultivation."
" Ah…"
Meng Zhi's face turned stiff when she heard that. " Very well, I shall accompany you."
" What about us?"
Both Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin glanced at Long Ming as they spoke in unison.
" What? Since it's a private talk, you obviously can't participate." Meng Zhi giggled as she held Long Ming.
With a gust of wind, she vanished along with Long Ming.
