Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

...

Cangmang Mountain, Luoxing Town, outside Wanbao Pavilion

A large number of people were coming and going, and the surrounding area was noisy and bustling. Among them were not only peddlers, servants and laborers, but also many martial artists with profound cultivation. It seemed that this building was a large trading market, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

"Wanbaoge?"

"This should be it."

Looking up at the golden plaque above the opposite pavilion, Lu Feng didn't hesitate at all and immediately stepped towards the pavilion's entrance.

Although Falling Star Town is just a small town with a population of just over 100,000, it is backed by the Cangmang Mountain and Falling Star Academy, so there are quite a few martial artists coming and going in the town on weekdays, which has gradually led to the formation of many cultivator trading markets.

As for the Wanbao Pavilion here, it is the largest cultivator trading market in the entire Falling Star Town. It sells all kinds of treasures, and even some shady stolen goods and weapons. As long as you have spirit stones in your pocket, you will never have to worry about not having any goods!

Therefore, Lu Feng also planned to try his luck at Wanbaoge and see if he could get a bargain.

"Sir! Welcome to Wanbaoge. May I ask if you're here to set up a stall or to buy something?"

Seeing Lu Feng walking over from afar, a gray-clad servant at the entrance of Wanbaoge hurriedly stepped forward, then grinned and squeezed out a fawning smile.

Because, although the other party was young, he had an extraordinary temperament and was always surrounded by an extremely powerful aura of Yuan energy, which clearly indicated that he had a significant background!

Therefore, the moment he saw Lu Feng approaching, the gray-clad servant hurriedly stepped forward to curry favor, fearing that the former would be snatched away by someone else.

After all, these people were just hired servants and handymen of Wanbaoge, with very little monthly wages. They could only earn more tips by pleasing some distinguished guests.

"Buy goods."

Lu Feng glanced at the obsequious gray-clad servant, his tone remaining calm, "Do you have any Hundred Flowers Drunken Immortal Wine here?"

"A Hundred Flowers Intoxicating Wine?"

"Yes, yes, of course!"

Upon hearing this, the gray-clad servant was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly nodded and bowed, stepping aside to make way for him. "Please, sir, go to the VIP room and wait a moment. I will go and inform the manager immediately!"

"Take it."

Lu Feng didn't say much, and immediately tossed a small cloth bag to the gray-clad servant, seemingly as a tip.

"Thank you for your generous gift, sir!"

He quickly took the small cloth bag and found that it contained a full fifty low-grade spirit stones. The gray-clad servant's eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.

Although he was just an ordinary mortal and had no need for these spirit stones, fifty low-grade spirit stones were still quite valuable. In the secular world, they would be enough to exchange for a hundred taels of gold and several mansions!

Therefore, faced with Lu Feng's generous gesture, the gray-clad servant was naturally excited and wished he could kneel down and acknowledge him as his father on the spot!

As for the gray-clad servant kneeling and thanking him, Lu Feng merely waved his hand, his face remaining calm.

After all, with his current wealth and resources, a mere fifty low-grade spirit stones are nothing but a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning at all!

...

A short while later, in a VIP room at Wanbaoge...

Knock knock knock...!

A soft knocking sound came from the outside.

"Come in."

Lu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.

The next moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent brocade robe stepped into the room, then bowed slightly to Lu Feng, saying, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, young hero."

"My name is Zhao Fang, one of the three main managers of Wanbaoge. I've heard that you intend to acquire Baihua Zuixian Wine?"

Zhao Fang spoke calmly, and a faint smile remained on his face, making people feel comfortable and at ease. He was clearly a seasoned businessman who had been dealing with customers for many years.

"This aura...is it from someone at the first level of the Yuanhai Realm?"

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the other party, which was no weaker than his own, Lu Feng raised an eyebrow and looked surprised.

After all, he only came here to buy a few jars of Hundred Flowers Drunken Immortal Wine. Although this spirit wine is rare and valuable, it shouldn't have alarmed a Yuanhai Realm expert. It's really strange!

"Great! How much Hundred Flowers Drunken Immortal Wine do you have here? I'll buy it all!"

Although he felt a little strange, Lu Feng didn't think much of it and continued.

"All-inclusive?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fang was taken aback for a moment, then said with a strange expression, "Although young hero's strength is remarkable, even far surpassing most disciples of Falling Star Academy, the Hundred Flowers Drunken Immortal Wine is ultimately rare and valuable. If you intend to acquire it all, I'm afraid your finances will be insufficient..."

"Do you think I can't afford it?"

Lu Feng also sensed the unspoken meaning in the other person's words, and his brows furrowed slightly, feeling somewhat displeased.

"That's certainly not what Zhao meant."

Seeing Lu Feng's displeasure, Zhao Fang tactfully changed the subject, grinning, "Since young hero is so sincere about the acquisition, I won't keep you in suspense any longer..."

"Our pavilion currently has three jars of Hundred Flowers Drunken Immortal Wine in stock. As for the price, it's excellent value for money, costing only 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones per jar. What do you think, young hero?"

Zhao Fang maintained a faint smile on his face, speaking in a calm and unhurried tone.

Although he still had some doubts about Lu Feng's wealth, if the other party could really buy all of the Hundred Flowers Drunken Immortal Wine in one go, it would be a sure-fire deal for Wanbaoge!

"One jar costs 500,000? And it's only a mid-grade spirit stone!"

Upon hearing the price of the Hundred Flowers Drunken Immortal Wine, Lu Feng frowned, a hint of doubt appearing on his face. "Brother, are you joking?"

"Although the Hundred Flowers Drunken Immortal Wine has the functions of nourishing the lungs and heart, calming the mind and soothing the soul, the cost price of this spiritual wine is at most seventy or eighty thousand mid-grade spirit stones. Why are you asking for five hundred thousand now, brother?"

Lu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone chilling, clearly having also sensed the cunning businessman aura emanating from the other party.

After all, his entire fortune right now amounted to only 400,000 mid-grade spirit stones, while Zhao Fang was asking for 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones, and even 500,000 for a single jar! It was outrageous, treating him like a clueless fool to be fleeced!

"This person is surprisingly familiar with the market price of Hundred Flowers Drunken Immortal Wine...?"

Seeing that the other party had immediately seen through his intention to overcharge, Zhao Fang's heart skipped a beat. He quickly smiled apologetically and explained, "Uh, young hero, you flatter me! It wasn't that I was maliciously trying to raise the price, but there was simply a reason for it..."

"Oh?"

Lu Feng raised an eyebrow, seemingly wanting to see what tricks the other party was up to.

"To be honest, all three jars of Hundred Flowers Drunken Immortal Wine currently in our store have been pre-ordered. Moreover, that distinguished guest is not only powerful but also asked for prices far exceeding the usual market value. Therefore, we naturally dare not breach the contract at this time..."

At this point, Zhao Fang shook his head slightly, then looked emotional, clearly indicating that he was not just making things up.
