Behind the instrument shop is a simple small courtyard without too many furnishings, only a stone table, three stone chairs, and an old stone-tiled house.
"Wang Erxiao, what are you doing here?" After Xiaoyu and the others entered the small courtyard, the old man with white beard and hair sat on one of the stone chairs and asked without raising his head as he looked at an ancient book in his hand.
"Shopkeeper, this person objectively wants to buy a wine tripod, so I brought him here." Facing the old man, the clerk of the magic weapon shop saluted with a rather respectful expression.
"Oh, it turns out that a distinguished guest is here. You go down first, and I will personally entertain you." After hearing the grocery store clerk's words, the old man immediately raised his head, looked at Xiaoyu, and showed a friendly smile.
"Boy Xiaoyu, I have met the old gentleman." After the clerk of the magic weapon shop exited, Xiaoyu clasped his fists and saluted the old man.
"Young Master Xiao, you're welcome, please take a seat." The old man stood up with a smile and pointed at the stone chair next to him as an invitation.
"Uh, no need. You can just stand, kid." Xiao Yu smiled awkwardly and pointed at the Qiankun Ruler behind him.
"I didn't expect that Young Master is still an ascetic cultivator. Such a big piece of black iron weighs at least two to three hundred kilograms." The old man glanced at the Qiankun Ruler behind Xiao Yu with a slight surprise and asked with a smile.
Xiaoyu nodded calmly, neither denying nor answering aloud.
"My name is Tu Yuankai, and I am the shopkeeper of this magical artifact shop." Seeing that Xiaoyu didn't want to say anything, the old man didn't continue to ask, and introduced himself with a smile.
"It turns out to be Mr. Tu, sorry." Xiao Yu replied politely, and then said straight to the point: "Mr. Tu, could you please let me take a look at the wine cauldron first?"
"Of course, sir, please wait a moment." Tu Yuankai nodded, patted the storage bag on his waist with his right hand, and a red light immediately shot up into the sky.
After the red light circled in the sky, it slowly fell and floated in front of Xiao Yu. It was a seventy centimeter-sized cauldron with a round body, carved with flame ripples, the whole body was red, and exuded rich aura.
Wine tripod.
"What a great tripod." Xiao Yu praised the tripod heartily. After walking around the tripod, he asked, "May I ask Mr. Tu what kind of material this tripod is made from and what grade it is?"
"This cauldron is called the Flame Pattern Cauldron. It is made from centuries-old fire crystal copper. It ranks among the second-level wine cauldrons. I wonder if you are satisfied with it." Tu Yuankai waved his hand, and the wine cauldron flew back to float in front of him.
"Of course I'm satisfied. Mr. Tu, please tell me a price." Xiao Yu nodded. He originally thought it would be good to buy a first-order wine cauldron, but he didn't expect to encounter a second-order wine cauldron.
The level of the wine cauldron is divided into five levels. Each level increases, and there are different degrees of bonuses for refining wine pills. For example, if a second-level wine cauldron is used to refine a first-grade medicinal wine, the success rate will also increase by 3%.
Ten, if the second-grade medicinal wine is refined, it will reach an astonishing 20%.
Moreover, it is said that in the vast Xianzhang Continent, there are more than five-level wine cauldrons, which are called Tiandings. However, Xiaoyu does not know exactly which Tiandings there are. He only accidentally saw them in ancient books.
Yes, I just know that every Tianding can make the wine master go crazy, and it is an indispensable help in refining the sixth grade or above wine elixir.
"I have been observing the young master for a long time. At a young age, he has reached the second level of Foundation Establishment and has a rare fire-attribute physique. I bought the wine cauldron this time to become a bartender." Tu Yuankai took a meaningful look.
Xiaoyu showed a hint of wanting to make friends.
"To be honest with Mr. Tu, this is exactly what I planned." Xiao Yu naturally saw Tu Yuankai's intention and responded accordingly.
In fact, when he first entered the backyard of the magic weapon shop, Xiao Lin had already reminded him in his heart that the kind-looking old man in front of him was actually a powerful seventh-level immortal cultivator.
The Immortal Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage can be regarded as a real strong man in Qingfeng Town, but this person is willing to live in this small magic weapon shop. According to what the clerk of Lenovo Magic Artifact Shop said, this person
The magic weapon shop is also the property of the Black Demon Martial Arts Hall, so it is not difficult to guess the old man's background. Therefore, when Xiaoyu talks to the old man, he appears to be very humble and respectful, so as not to offend this man and cause unnecessary trouble.
It is said that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, Xiaoyu still understands this truth.
"Young master can embark on the road of being a wine master at such a young age. I am really envious of you." Tu Yuankai sincerely praised Xiao Yu, looked at him and pondered for a moment and said: "Well, this tripod was originally priced at 100,000 high-grade source stones.
Now I am selling you 70,000 high-grade Origin Stones in order to make the young master a friend. I don’t know what the young master wants.”
A sommelier represents not only supreme glory, but also the key to promoting the rapid development of a force, so Tu Yuankai wanted to make friends with Xiaoyu, even though he had not yet become a real sommelier.
"Thanks to Mr. Tu for your kindness, I would rather be respectful than obey." Xiao Yu nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
Anyway, the main purpose of his trip was to buy a wine cauldron, and then he would return to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range to practice. Even if he agreed to Tu Yuankai's proposal, there would be no harm in the slightest, and he might be able to use this relationship in the future.
"Young Master is indeed a generous man. I like it very much. You can take this cauldron." Tu Yuankai nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand, and the flame pattern cauldron shot towards him like Xiaoyu.
"Thank you, Mr. Tu." Xiao Yu caught the Flame Pattern Cauldron with one hand, put it into his storage bag, took out a white jade bottle and threw it over, saying, "I'm not afraid of Mr. Tu's jokes. The Origin Stone on my body is not enough to pay the price."
The price of the wine cauldron is why I want to exchange it for this third-grade source-condensing pill refined by my master. I wonder if Mr. Tu can agree."
Tu Yuankai didn't reply. His eyes were all attracted by the pale green light flowing in the white jade bottle, which was crystal clear, like a pearl, and was about the size of a thumb's belly.
"This color is indeed that of Ning Yuan Dan." Tu Yuankai swallowed. He had seen Ning Yuan Dan in his early years and would never admit it wrong.
Then Tu Yuankai couldn't wait to untie the seal of the jade bottle, and a strong aroma of wine came out from the jade bottle. If it weren't for his advanced cultivation, he would have been drunk on the spot.
After taking the pill out, Tu Yuankai checked it carefully and was sure that it was the Ning Yuan Pill. He looked up at Xiao Yu and said with a hint of excitement: "I dare to ask my master's name, can you tell me, so that I can be lucky enough to take it?"
See the style of our seniors?"
"I'm sorry, my master is withdrawn and doesn't like to meet strangers. Please don't blame Mr. Tu." Xiao Yu declined politely. Xiao Lin's existence has not yet been exposed, otherwise we don't know what kind of trouble it will cause.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I'm just impulsive." Tu Yuankai seemed to understand in his heart that the existence of someone who could refine the Third Grade Liquor Pill was not something he just wanted to see.
But Tu Yuankai's heart is now full of secret joy. Although he cannot directly see the mysterious third-grade sommelier behind Xiao Yu, being able to make friends with that mysterious sommelier's disciples will be of great help to the future development of their Black Demon Martial Arts Hall.
Estimated.
"Little friend Xiao, the value of this Source Condensing Pill far exceeds that of the Flame Pattern Cauldron. I am supplying you with 30,000 high-grade Source Stones, and I hope you won't refuse." Tu Yuankai had already made up his mind, even if he couldn't.
Even if I try to win over Xiao Yu, I will never be an enemy, so I want to give Xiao Yu more benefits and gain Xiao Yu's favor.
