264: Chapter 264 Appraising the Spirit Wine, First-Class VIP Room

Boom...

Immediately after, a golden liquid dripped onto the crystal jade plate. Both the old man and Hun Tiandi saw clearly that a golden flame was rising from that single drop of golden liquid.

It was like an elf, leaping incessantly.

“This thing... could it be yellow spirit crystal source?” The old man pondered slightly, then flipped his hand to take out a thick ancient tome from his storage ring, flipping through it quickly as if searching for something.

Following the old man's movements, a look of surprise appeared in Hun Tiandi's eyes. This unremarkable-looking old man actually managed to identify the yellow spirit crystal source?

He didn't feel any heartache at all; keeping this thing wouldn't be of much use to him.

However, this bottle of crystal source was the best supplement for auxiliary cultivation for those practicing Fire-attribute Qi Methods.

With this item, one could save a lot of time during cultivation.

Back at Qifeng Mountain, Hun Tiandi had obtained a total of eight bottles of yellow spirit crystal source. This was the first time he had taken it out for auction, but unfortunately, he was not of the Fire attribute.

Otherwise, by using the yellow spirit crystal source to cultivate, his strength would surely have increased much faster.

“Jie jie jie, in the future, I can just find an Alchemist and devour them directly. With the Blood Scripture, creating a Blood God Child is no trouble at all. When that time comes, this yellow spirit crystal source can also be utilized.”

Hun Tiandi thought to himself.

In order not to waste this yellow spirit crystal source, he was truly calculating enough to plan on devouring an Alchemist.

As the saying goes, any resource is only a resource when it is utilized; otherwise, it is just a pile of trash.

“Found it...” the white-haired old man exclaimed, his gaze falling upon the ancient book where a massive magical beast covered in golden scales was coiled like a mountain, roaring towards the heavens.

This massive magical beast was precisely the Golden Snake King.

“yellow spirit crystal source is a companion treasure of the Golden Snake King, a rare sight in a hundred years. For Fire-attribute Qi Methods, it is a top-tier treasure.”

“I couldn't tell that despite your young age, sir, you actually have the ability to obtain such a thing.”

“Obtained by chance!” Hun Tiandi said with a faint smile.

“Whew, this item is already difficult to measure with gold coins. It can be used as a finale item to see if anyone at the auction brings out rare objects to exchange for it. If you agree, sir, we can do it this way.”

The white-haired old man spoke slowly; after all, yellow spirit crystal source was not something that could be bought with mere money.

“Very well!” Hun Tiandi nodded slightly.

“I wonder if you can appraise this item, sir.” Hun Tiandi said slowly with a calm expression. Although some appraisers could identify Qi Methods, Dou Techniques, and medicinal pills...

“...very few are skilled when it comes to spirit wine.”

“This is wine?” The white-haired old man looked at the jade bottle Hun Tiandi placed on the table. Immediately, the eyes of another white-haired old man beside him lit up.

He asked as he pushed open the partitioned door and walked over excitedly.

“Old Wine, this is your specialty. You take charge of the appraisal!” the first old man said with a smile.

“Hmph, Old Li, don't try to snatch my business this time!” Hearing this, Old Wine's face tightened, and his beard twitched.

“Tsk tsk, I have to have a couple of sips of this wine no matter what!” Old Li laughed strangely.

Wine is something that can only have its price and preciousness determined through tasting.

This was an invisible perk of being an appraiser.

“The wine's name is Monkey. It is a spirit wine I brewed myself. In terms of mouthfeel, strength, and purity, it far exceeds ordinary wines from the outside world. Even century-old fine vintages might not be able to catch up to my monkey spirit wine!”

“This wine contains rich energy. Drinking a bowl during cultivation can increase cultivation speed. Most importantly, it has no impurities and can be completely absorbed.”

“This bottle of monkey wine is for your appraisal.”

Hun Tiandi spoke indifferently, briefly explaining the effects of the monkey wine.

“monkey wine? Quick, pour a cup—no, let us appraise it!” Old Wine's eyes glinted with light upon hearing that this wine was no ordinary product.

“Old Li, pour the wine!” Old Wine said anxiously.

Subsequently, Old Li opened the jade bottle. In an instant, a rich wine fragrance wafted out from the bottle and drifted through the air.

“How fragrant, this wine.”

“Such a rich fragrance; it couldn't possibly be produced if it wasn't a good wine!”

The two appraisers spoke in praise. Smelling the fragrance and seeing it was as crystal clear as amber, with not a single impurity in the wine, it was truly a rare and excellent wine.

Old Wine picked up the wine cup, held it to his nose, and nodded: “The fragrance is mellow and thick; it is a top-grade wine.”

Gulp!

He took a sip, swirled it in his mouth to feel the mellow aroma of the liquid, and swallowed it down his throat. A warm sensation spread out.

The contained energy dissipated, and the circulation of Fighting Qi within his body increased by thirty percent. With a bit of refinement, it merged into his Fighting Qi, and he could feel the improvement in his strength.

After a long while, Old Wine opened his eyes and said excitedly: “Excellent wine! The liquid is mellow, the color is like amber, and there are no impurities. Most importantly, the wine contains energy that enhances cultivation speed and condenses Fighting Qi.”

“This monkey wine is no ordinary wine, but a spirit wine. It is incredibly wonderful and can be compared to medicinal pills.”

His words were full of praise. Hearing this, Old Li quickly drank a cup.

He then spoke excitedly: “Spirit wine indeed has benefits for cultivation! Hahaha, this is truly an amazing discovery. If this becomes popular, it will have a huge impact on medicinal pills.”

“I wonder if my monkey wine can be put up for auction? If it can, how much is it worth?”

Hun Tiandi showed a satisfied expression; he loved seeing these people act like they had never seen the world before.

Old Wine pondered for a moment and spoke: “monkey spirit wine is worth ten thousand gold. One jade bottle contains two catties of spirit wine. The starting price can be fifty thousand gold coins, and the auction should be able to reach a hundred thousand gold coins, or even higher.”

“Its level of preciousness makes it qualified for auction.”

Old Wine decided on the spot and explained everything clearly.

“To receive praise from Elder Wine, it must be a good wine. I wonder, little brother...”

A middle-aged man in fine silk clothing walked in, appearing as pleasant as a spring breeze, and spoke with a smile.

“Yun Tian!” Hun Tiandi spoke indifferently.

“So it is Brother Yun Tian. I am Yuan Tian, the manager here!” A glint of light flashed in his smiling eyes.

“I wonder, Brother Yun Tian, how much monkey wine do you plan to bring out for the auction?” Yuan Tian asked with a smile.

He was clearly prepared to take on this transaction.

“One hundred jade bottles of monkey wine for auction, in groups of ten bottles. I wonder if Big Brother Yuan Tian can handle it!” Hun Tiandi said.

“Naturally, my Heiyin Auction House will take it and immediately prepare the auction for you, brother.”

With the strength of the Heiyin Auction House, handling it was naturally not a problem. The key was that the appearance of monkey wine would have an immeasurable significance for the Black-Corner Region.

Buzz!

With a wave of Hun Tiandi's sleeve, one hundred jade bottles appeared neatly on the table in front of him, instantly shocking everyone.

He carried them with him?

Yuan Tian's expression tightened. It seemed the background behind this Yun Tian was not simple.

“Brother Yun Tian, please come to the VIP room!” Yuan Tian's expression returned to normal as he made an inviting gesture.

“Prepare the auction immediately!” he said, turning to the people behind him.

The Black Seal City auction has finally begun!

A smile played on the corner of Hun Tiandi's mouth. The reason he took out the spirit wine for auction was naturally to take the opportunity to build the spirit wine's reputation. It was time for spirit wine to appear on the Fighting Qi Continent.

“First-class VIP room. Brother Yun Tian, please wait here for a while; the auction will start shortly!”

Yuan Tian said with a smile.

Hun Tiandi nodded slightly and entered the VIP room. The view was perfect, allowing him to look down over the entire venue.

Yuan Tian turned and left because the auction was about to start and many things needed to be arranged.

“Immediately send a message to my father; pass this letter to him!” Yuan Tian took out a letter from the room, handed it to the person beside him, and instructed.

“Yes!” The old man turned and left.

“Yun Tian, just who are you?” Yuan Tian murmured.
