CHAPTER 370: DEAL

"Senior, can you really protect us?" Shen Xu asked and quickly continued.

"We have offended the Lin family and other people. Aren’t you afraid of being implicated?" He asked.

Hearing this, the old man sneered and narrowed his eyes.

"Little friend, are you looking down on this old man?" He asked, but Shen Xu didn’t answer.

Instead, he turned to Zhen Yuan and had a silent conversation.

In the end, the double smiled and turned to the old man.

"Since the senior has offered, Ayuan and I will accept the deal." He said, and Luo Jianfeng immediately smiled.

"How about three gourds of level eight wine?" He asked, but Shen Xu rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"One gourd." He said.

"Two gourds."

"One gourd with ten litres of ten thousand years old wine." The double said, and Luo Jianfeng nodded but didn’t stop negotiating.

"One gourd per month." He said.

"One gourd every four months."

"Four months is too long. One and a half months." Luo Jianfeng countered.

"Three months. This is the best I can do."

With no other choice, Luo Jianfeng accepted the deal and gave Shen Xu a communication jade.

"I can guarantee that no one will be able to harm you within the sect." He said.

"What about outside the sect?" Zhen Yuan asked, and Luo Jianfeng snorted.

"Do you need protection outside the sect?" He asked, and Shen Xu raised an eyebrow in question.

"Senior, what do you mean?" He asked.

"You are spirit transformation realm cultivators. Even if your soul power is higher than your qi cultivation, you can’t brew level eight wine and arrange a level nine formation." Luo Jianfeng started and quickly continued.

"You must have a powerful background, but unfortunately, your backers are powerless in the sect."

After saying that, Luo Jianfeng sighed, and a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

However, he soon squashed the curiosity and looked at the two with solemn eyes.

"I will protect you within the sect, and your backers will protect you outside. Still, you should be very careful and not cause any more trouble." He said.

"We understand." Shen Xu nodded but had the urge to burst into laughter.

He didn’t expect that Luo Jianfeng and others would suspect them of having a powerful background.

However, Shen Xu didn’t correct the man.

After all, he and Zhen Yuan had a lot of things to do and couldn’t be bothered to deal with trouble for the time being.

"Senior, I have twenty-two types of level eight wine. See which one you like." Shen Xu said, waved his hand, and twenty-two gourds floated out of his storage ring.

"What are they?" The old man asked.

"This one is beauty wine refined with beauty peaches." Shen Xu said and pointed at a gourd.

"What does an old sword cultivator need with beauty wine?" Luo Jianfeng asked, and the double chuckled.

"Doesn’t the senior have a Taoist partner?" He asked.

"A Taoist partner will only slow down the speed of drawing my sword." The man said, and Shen Xu burst into laughter.

In his previous life, some people used that phrase after a heartbreak.

Unexpectedly, he heard it again, but the swordsman undoubtedly meant it in a literal sense.

"If the senior doesn’t want the beauty wine, how about the longevity wine?" Shen Xu asked and pointed at another gourd, but Luo Jianfeng shook his head.

Tribulation transcending realm cultivators had a lifespan of one million years.

This year, Luo Jianfeng turned five hundred thousand and seven, and still had more than four hundred and ninety thousand years left on his lifespan.

"I don’t need the longevity wine." He said, and Shen Xu nodded before introducing the third wine.

"This is the blood replenishing wine brewed with blood replenishing peaches."

"It’s rare for a cultivator of my level to lose blood." Luo Jianfeng said.

"Although it’s a blood replenishing wine, it’s delicious and can be drunk for the sake of enjoyment."

"I will think about it later."

Shen Xu nodded when he heard this and began introducing the fourth wine.

However, it wasn’t until the fifteenth introduction that Luo Jianfeng showed genuine interest.

"Qi cleansing wine brewed with qi cleansing peaches, cloud seeking fruits, cloud seeking trees sap, and iron heart fruits." He muttered with a confused expression.

"Isn’t the iron heart fruit poisonous?" He asked, and Shen Xu nodded before speaking.

"It’s poisonous, but there are ways of refining it." The double said and looked at Luo Jianfeng with curious eyes.

"Is the senior interested in this wine?" He asked, and Luo Jianfeng nodded.

He had a gold spiritual root.

As a result, he preferred metal element wines to other wines.

Unfortunately, it was relatively rare to encounter a good metal element wine.

"This qi cleansing wine is within the top five most expensive wines in my collection." Shen Xu said and sighed.

At the same time, he pushed a gourd towards Luo Jianfeng.

"The senior can have it if he wants." He said, and Luo Jianfeng didn’t hesitate.

After he took the wine, Shen Xu collected the rest and put them in his storage ring.

"Senior, Ayuan and I will restock the shop, accept a mission, and then retreat. We won’t be out again for another month." The double informed, and Luo Jianfeng nodded.

After that, he unsealed the space and their presence was exposed to the rest of the room.

"Owner, when will you restock the shop?" Someone shouted, and everyone turned to look.

Seeing the expectant looks, Shen Xu smiled while looking around.

"In a moment." He said, and several people burst into cheers.

They had been waiting for a long time.

Fortunately, they didn’t give up and finally waited for the shop owner to show up.

Since they had an appointment with cultivators who wanted to complete the blood mission, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu didn’t waste time.

In no time, they collected the spirit stones earned in the past month and restocked the shop with a larger quantity of wine.

When that was done, they contacted the mission hall and asked the disciple in charge to send the task takers to the wine shop.
