Chapter 661
"Oh, young friend, you can rest assured, I'm the cheapest seller in the entire Dead Sea City." The old man continued his silver tongue, vigorously promoting his "products."
"How about this?" Chen Xuan looked at the disheveled old man with a smile. "I don't have any Source Liquid on hand right now. Tell me where I can exchange for it, and once I do, I'll definitely treat you to a drink at this Immortal's Drunkenness."
"Ah, this..." The old man hesitated for a moment when he heard Chen Xuan's words. "Young friend, this kind of information has never been sold like this before."
Chen Xuan laughed and said, "That's because you haven't met me yet. If you had met me, you would have been selling like this long ago."
Seeing that the old man was still hesitating, Chen Xuan continued, "I don't believe that this huge Dead Sea City doesn't have clear road signs or directions. We have just entered the city and are tired from the journey. We just don't want to bother looking for it. If you agree, then so be it. If you don't agree, then we will go and look for it ourselves now."
"Come on, Master, let's go find it ourselves." Bai Li was extremely disgusted with the old man and grabbed Chen Xuan's hand, ready to leave.
"No, no, no, young friend, business is business, we can talk it over, we can talk it over." In the end, the old man had no choice but to compromise and pointed out the place where Chen Xuan and his companion could exchange for the spirit liquid.
Chen Xuan immediately handed a storage bag to Bai Li.
"Bai Li, exchange them all for Origin Liquid. I will wait for your return here."
Bai Li took the storage magic item from Chen Xuan, nodded vigorously, and then flew swiftly towards the trading area like a streak of light.
Not long after, about five minutes.
Bai Li flew back and said, "Master, it's all changed."
Chen Xuan took the storage magic treasure and probed it with a wisp of his divine sense, and was slightly surprised.
“Master, our spirit grains are already considered top-grade, but if we want to exchange them for source liquid in the correct proportion, we still need ten thousand catties of spirit grains to exchange for one tael of source liquid.”
"Three hundred thousand catties of top-grade spirit grain, exchanged for a mere three catties of source liquid?" At this moment, Chen Xuan truly understood the preciousness and scarcity of spirit liquid and source liquid. It should be noted that the source liquid exchanged this time was merely a normal currency used in transactions between cultivators.
Thinking about it this way, how astonishing must the value of the innate source liquid that Chen Xuan possesses be?
After making the comparison, Chen Xuan secretly resolved that he must be extremely cautious when using the Innate Source Liquid in the future.
The two communicated telepathically through their master-servant contract, which the old man naturally couldn't hear. However, seeing the change in Chen Xuan's expression after obtaining the source liquid, the old man couldn't help but look down on Chen Xuan and his companion a little more.
"Young friend, as agreed..."
Upon hearing the old man's words, Bai Li immediately stepped forward, put her hands on her hips, and glared at the old man with a face full of anger.
"You old codger, you dare to charge us an ounce of raw essence for a so-called intelligence report? When we were exchanging spirit liquid just now, I specifically inquired, and even the official information from Dead Sea City only costs one hundred spirit stones. How dare you charge us an ounce of raw essence?"
The saying goes, "Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake," but if this dragon is a whole level above the so-called local snake, then that's a different story.
Sensing Bai Li's powerful aura as a Great Demon at the Perfection of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, the old man's expression changed slightly. He looked at Bai Li in shock, then turned to look at Chen Xuan.
That's right, a rogue cultivator at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm was actually able to contract a Great Demon at the Perfection of the Myriad Manifestations Realm as a spirit beast?
This kid is no ordinary person.
The old man pondered to himself.
"Ah, well... this."
Seeing the old man's appearance, Chen Xuan smiled slightly and reached out to pull Bai Li along.
"In any case, we only learned about the exchange site through you, fellow Daoist. We can't be the kind of people who turn their backs on their work after they've already done their job."
“Master, this man is clearly a heartless businessman.” Bai Li still argued defiantly, but after receiving Chen Xuan’s telepathic message, she angrily retreated to the side.
"Daoyou, please."
The old man thought the deal was going to fall through, but to his surprise, the young man kept his promise and treated him to the immortal wine.
"Haha, no problem, no problem, fellow Daoist, please."
Thus, amidst Chen Xuan and the old man's respective thoughts and Bai Li's deep dissatisfaction, the three of them flew together into the Immortal's Drunken Wine Pavilion.
As soon as they entered, a beautiful woman flew over to greet them like a butterfly.
Although the woman only possessed a second-class purple aptitude, her cultivation at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm was not to be underestimated.
Upon seeing Chen Xuan and his two companions enter the restaurant, she greeted them with an incredibly friendly smile, bowing respectfully and asking, "Esteemed guests, do you have a reservation?"
"No," Chen Xuan said calmly.
"Then, would you like a private booth or a VIP room?" The female cultivator skillfully explained the services. "A private booth is free of charge, while a VIP room will cost one or two ounces of original liquid or spiritual liquid per hour."
Upon hearing this price, both Chen Xuan and Bai Li were shocked. One ounce of the original liquid was equivalent to ten thousand catties of top-grade spiritual grain.
"A private seat is fine."
