Chapter 660: Chapter 670: Rare Goods Can Be Hoarded
The two Inner Sect Guardians both stared at Chu Feng with cold smirks, thinking how audacious this kid was to act so boldly in front of Elder Qiu. Did he really know who he was? Probably didn’t even know how he would die.
Others might not know how terrifying Elder Qiu was, but these two were very aware.
Even the Supreme Elders of the Sect dared not behave so recklessly in front of Elder Qiu.
In their eyes, Chu Feng was definitely not even qualified to carry shoes for the Supreme Elders. Daring to act tough in front of Elder Qiu, it would be no surprise if he were to be squashed to death.
Yet, they were unaware that a good drink is never enough with friends.
Elder Qiu Jizi had one weakness, and that was his love for fine wine, even to the point of obsession.
Others might see Chu Feng’s behavior as an affront to Elder Qiu Jizi, but to Elder Qiu Jizi himself, it was quite pleasing and he found Chu Feng refreshingly honest and straightforward.
Unlike others, who would bow and scrape in front of him, their faces full of fawning smiles, acting servile.
Occasionally being flattered could feel good, but being flattered day in and day out, for decades or centuries, would annoy anyone.
Chu Feng’s approach, treating the other as a friend and disregarding power or seniority, was like a refreshing vegetarian dish among many heavy dishes, greatly endearing himself to Qiu Jizi, invigorating his spirit and increasing his appetite.
"Kid, is this wine?"
Elder Qiu Jizi reached out and took the three-section bamboo Chu Feng tossed over, his face showing a curious and delighted expression.
Both Chu Feng’s distinctively bold attitude and the wine stored in the bamboo tube were eye-opening and refreshing.
"Senior, you can try it out and see if I was boasting last time!" Chu Feng said with a confident smile.
The two Inner Sect Elders also realized something was wrong at this moment, looking uncertainly between Chu Feng and Elder Qiu.
Because instead of getting angry, Elder Qiu seemed very pleased with Chu Feng’s attitude.
Both of their hearts sank a little, feeling uneasy.
If Chu Feng really formed a connection with Elder Qiu and gained his favor, their deliberate difficulties towards Chu Feng might indeed turn out to be lethal mistakes.
Thinking about the bet they had with Chu Feng, their moods became even heavier.
"Wine stored in bamboo, interesting!"
Elder Qiu Jizi, unable to wait, poked at one of the bamboo joints.
A sliver of Tri-Colored Sword Light appeared at his fingertips, easily poking a finger-sized hole in the bamboo joint.
"Tri-Colored Sword Light!" Chu Feng’s expression changed slightly.
He clearly saw that the tiny sword light emitted a divine and majestic aura. It even had a faint celestial essence, revealing a significant distinction.
Only a Great Sword Master Cultivation was needed to condense such sword light.
But the power of the sword light varied as well.
The sword light condensed by an Early Stage Great Sword Master was barely solidifying and not much stronger than ordinary swords. When clashing with an enemy, it would dissipate upon encountering any resistance.
At the Sword Saint Level, due to the amplification from the Sword Domain, the power of the sword light was several times stronger.
And it could be split into multiple beams.
Unlike a Great Sword Master, who no matter how powerful, always had only one sword light. Unable to split further.
At the Sword God Level, during the process of advancement, the sword light undergoes a transformation. It ascends, showing a qualitative difference from that of a Sword Saint.
For comparison, the sword light wielded by a Sword Saint is like the strength of a wooden sword; the sword light wielded by a Sword God is like the strength of an iron sword.
Clearly, the sword light exhibited by Elder Qiu Jizi was of a higher level.
As if possessing the power to cleave the heavens and shatter the earth.
Swish, swish!
Suddenly, the rich wine inside flowed out with a swish.
Elder Qiu Jizi’s eyes emitted a wolf-like green light, that of seeing delicious food, seeing a long desired prey. Just like a lecher seeing an extremely beautiful woman.
Waves of wine aroma dispersed in all directions.
Some wine enthusiasts couldn’t help but swallow their saliva, their throats rolling.
They had never seen wine brewed inside bamboo before and found it particularly novel.
Using bamboo to make wine was not just a gimmick, but it relied on the natural fermentation of the earth and heavens. Additionally, the recipe was carefully formulated by Chu Feng, a master of Alchemy Venerate level.
After repeated improvements.
It could be said that its quality and taste could definitely compete with Immortal Brew.
"Gulp, gulp!"
Elder Qiu Jizi had already started gulping down the wine eagerly. The wine flowing from the bamboo joint seemed to be drawn by an invisible hand. It automatically flew into Elder Qiu Jizi’s mouth.
"Wow... Tsk tsk! Delightful, good wine, with color, aroma, taste, and charm fully present."
After drinking one section of bamboo, Elder Qiu Jizi also showed an immensely satisfied expression on his face, closed his eyes to savor it, and couldn’t stop praising.
"Pop, pop!"
Perhaps addicted to the drink, he shot out strands of Tri-Colored Sword Light at the other two sections of bamboo.
Then, he started another round of hearty drinking, his greedy look resembling a baby suckling milk.
"All gone?"
After Elder Qiu Jizi had finished all the wine inside, he was still not satisfied. He kept shaking the bamboo tube vigorously, but unfortunately, all the wine inside had already been consumed by him.
"Chu Kid, do you have any more of this bamboo wine? Just three cups, it’s not enough to be enjoyable!"
Elder Qiu Jizi seemed like a gluttonous child begging for food, softly and warmly asking Chu Feng for more wine.
Originally, Han Sheng and others who prepared to laugh at Chu Feng were all dumbfounded. This sudden change was simply too astonishing. They never dreamed that the three sections of bamboo Chu Feng was carrying would be so precious.
It was able to appease Elder Qiu Jizi, something that ordinary trinkets could not achieve.
Even some quick-witted people had already started thinking about buying a few tubes from Chu Feng to present to Elder Qiu Jizi, in order to gain his favor and esteem.
"Just three cups? With the way Senior drinks, even a lot more wine wouldn’t be enough to fill your stomach!" Chu Feng couldn’t help but show a bitter smile.
Rarity adds value, even if he could really mass-produce this kind of wine, he would never supply a large amount to Elder Qiu Jizi.
The rarer he made it seem, the greater its value in the eyes of Elder Qiu Jizi.
"Hehe, because this wine of yours, lad, is just too delicious. I couldn’t help but drink a bit too swiftly," Elder Qiu Jizi couldn’t help but show an embarrassed smile, awkwardly scratching his head that looked like a bird’s nest.
Flaunting his face, his tone slightly pleading, "Chu Kid, how much more of this wine do you have? Sell it all to me. Silver, spirit stones, they’re no issue."
For Elder Qiu Jizi, spirit stones and silver really amounted to nothing.
With his Qi Mechanism Sensing, Chu Feng was sure that Elder Qiu Jizi’s strength was probably even stronger than that of the demised Supreme Elder Wen Liuqing.
It could be determined that Elder Qiu Jizi’s position in the Ten Thousand Sword Sect was also terrifyingly high.
Having won over Elder Qiu Jizi with fine wine, if Elder Lei Ting wanted to make a move against Chu Feng in the future, he’d have to think twice.
"Sell them all to you? No, no, it takes an extremely long time to brew a tube, and the brewing dregs need to be carefully formulated. The process is also incredibly complex. There are only about twenty-something tubes in total, I have to keep them for myself to enjoy slowly."
Chu Feng deliberately teased his appetite.
