Zhanxian - Chapter 242
“Auction?”
Sun Qingxue was stunned. She didn’t think that Yang Chen wanted to participate in the auction. She replied: “It will take place after ten days or so. What does Brother Yang want to buy? Maybe I can help?”
“There is no specific goal.”
Yang Chen was not in a hurry. Ten days, he could still wait. Blue Cloud Sect often had some good things to auction, he didn’t know what he would see this time. However, there was nothing in particularly to be hidden from Sun Qingxue: “I am planning to buy some raw materials for brewing. If there are any miscellaneous books or anything, I can also take them.”
Yang Chen love of miscellaneous books was notorious. The last time he treated elder Hua Wanting, he directly asked for 20,000 volumes. At that time, Sun Qingxue was present and was very clear about it.
“There may not be many books in the auction.”
Sun Qingxue shook her head and said very directly: “There will definitely be a cultivation method, alchemy manual and a refining technique in the auction, it is impossible to auction the miscellaneous books.”
Yang Chen did not have such an idea to buy miscellaneous books at the auction, just to play this dice. He came to Blue Cloud Sect, just to look at what was good, but there was really no fixed goal.
“There is a place to sell the raw materials for brewing. You don’t have to wait for the auction Brother Yang.”
Sun Qingxue immediately began to ask Yang Chen for another request: “In the inner market of Blue Cloud Sect, there is a world-famous wine, the unique wine of our sect; ‘Blue Cloud Immortal Class’. If you like Brother Yang, I will buy some for you.”
Blue Cloud Immortal Class was made by a low-level disciple of Blue Cloud Sect who had no hope of cultivating. After improvements by some masters, it became the unique wine of Blue Cloud Sect. All the people not of the sect and those in conflict with Blue Cloud Sect cannot enjoy it. Yang Chen had visited here twice, because the situations were unbecoming for such festivities, he could not taste this kind of wine.
Originally based on Sun Qingxue’s Foundation Stage disciple status, she was not qualified to purchase it. But now because Sun Qingxue was elder Hua Wanting’s disciple, she could get some Blue Cloud Immortal Class. It was really not a problem.
Moreover, with Sun Qingxue’s current aptitude, if she needed to buy some Blue Cloud Immortal Class, a large number of people would be willing to buy it for her.
Of course, Yang Chen now had the qualification to purchase some of it, even the qualifications to participate in the Blue Cloud Sect auction, let alone buy Blue Cloud Immortal Class.
In his previous life, Yang Chen also heard about the name of the Blue Cloud Immortal Class, but he had never had a chance to taste. Now it was just as Sun Qingxue said that Yang Chen could have a taste.
“Well, let’s go and see how this Blue Cloud Immortal Class tastes like!”
With interest, Yang Chen immediately stood up.
Sun Qingxue laughed in front of Yang Chen, leading the way for him. The two drove their flying swords and soon came to the inner market of the Blue Cloud Sect.
Blue Cloud Sect was wealthy being a top-notch martial art school, and even the inner square was so lively. Pure Yang Palace was relatively inferior, there were even rare auctions in Blue Cloud Sect. In just even the number of disciples, Pure Yang Palace had a long way to go.
There were many disciples in the Foundation realm in the market, but there were also many Jiedan masters and even the occasional Yuanying ancestors. The Sect encouraged disciples to exchange some of the things they got and learn from each other. Almost all the major sects were the same.
Sun Qingxue took Yang Chen and soon came to a shop that looked very unremarkable. It was inconspicuous, very small shop, inside there were three jars and a simple wooden counter. Apart from these, there was nothing else, not even a stool for sitting.
The owner of the shop was a middle-aged man who had a Foundation realm, middle-stage cultivation, which was very common. He was dressed very neatly and was holding a spoon while pouring wine into a small jug.
However, compared with the crudeness of the shop, outside there was a long queue. Almost every person was holding a wine-drinking instrument or a bottle gourd, a vial or a jade pot, with anticipation on their faces.
“Well, today seems we will be unable to catch up.”
Looking at this situation, Sun Qingxue’s brow wrinkled: “Blue Cloud Immortal Class only sells three jars every day, and with this waiting line, what can I do?”
It was not easy for Yang Chen to come to Blue Cloud Sect and even rarer for her to have a drink with him, but to catch up with so many people, Sun Xiaoxue was very embarrassed. She couldn’t go in front of these people and there was no one she knew to replace in the line.
In the air, there was a scent of wine, the closer it was to the store, the stronger the taste. Yang Chen looked up and sniffed a few mouthfuls and snorted.
His action was like a standard drunkard. Someone in the queue next to him suddenly smiled. It was estimated that they have done similar actions before.
However, the drunkard was still a drunkard, no one was willing to care. One day, three jars, each person couldn’t exceed one jin (0.5 kg). It was counted that only one hundred people could taste this wine every day. No one wanted to give their valuable enjoyment to others.
Sun Qingxue had seen the line, from back to the front. What disappointed her was that there were no acquaintances among the long line. And the line was obviously more than one hundred people, at least three hundred, it seemed that the share of the next three days of wine had also been booked.
Inside the Blue Cloud Sect, there was no need to say that it was impossible to cut the queue. Perhaps they had a strong backing on the outside, but it could still not be done. Here, the powerful people did not dare to break the rules. This was the discipline of the Blue Cloud Sect.
Seeing that there was no way for Yang Chen to taste the wine, Sun Qingxue almost cried out in a hurry. Yang Chen could hardly come once, but he had encountered such a situation, how could she accept?
“Don’t worry, Qingxue!”
Yang Chen looked at Sun Qingxue’s anxious look and was moved. He immediately sighed and said: “I have already smelled the wine, and it doesn’t matter if I can’t drink it.”
When Yang Chen said this, Sun Qingxue became anxious, her brows were wrinkled, she suddenly said: “I am going to find Master to think of a way!”
Just one jin (0.5 kg) of liquor, Yang Chen had not paid attention to it. Moreover, this Blue Cloud Immortal Class was really also ordinary. After tasting the distiller’s yeast that was in the bottle gourd of the old Dragon King had left behind, this Blue Cloud Immortal Class in comparison was already unable to excite his liquor worm.
“Don’t!”
He jokingly said, because of liquor she wanted trouble a Great Ascension stage Expert! This was too outrageous, Yang Chen blurted out: “This liquor’s flavour is ordinary, it cannot be that good. Wait for me to brew some peerless delicacies wine personally, I will give you a taste!”
“Don’t say a word!”
Sun Qingxue hadn’t heard what he said, but the people in the line heard it, and loudly scolded.
Yang Chen and Sun Qingxue, as if by prior agreement looked in the direction of the sound, even those who were waiting for the alcohol could not help but curiously looked over there.
It was a beautiful restaurant, completely different from the simple shop here. The four-story restaurant was very magnificent, and people came in and out from time to time.
The person who cultivated was also a person, they also had a desire for food and drink, but most of their time was spent on cultivation, they did not pay much attention to this aspect of enjoyment. It was not abnormal to think that some people liked enjoyment, and the person who spoke out was on the third floor of the restaurant and was like that.
“Boy, Blue Cloud Immortal Class is world-famous, can it be that you can slander it?”
The voice that just spoke, scolded again.
“I am coaxing my younger sister, what’s that got to do with you?”
Yang Chen didn’t pay attention to this person and replied straight back with a single sentence.
Sun Qingxue’s anxious appearance had been seen by everyone in the queue, naturally knew why Yang Chen would say that. Strictly speaking, it was really the words spoken to coax a child which couldn’t be taken seriously. So, no one said anything. The guy upstairs only heard Yang Chen say that the Blue Cloud Immortal Class was common and shouted, he didn’t see why Yang Chen was saying this.
When he heard Yang Chen’s words, the person in the restaurant seemed to realize that he was impulsive.
However, Yang Chen’s words made him not be able to bear it. He thus, ignored Yang Chen’s words and replied: “if Blue Cloud Immortal Class is ordinary, what kind of liquor do you dare to call a good wine? Boy, if you don’t give me an explanation today, this old man must ask your elders to discuss that!”
They were in the Blue Cloud Sect, so the person upstairs could not kill. If it was outside, maybe Yang Chen’s head would be used to compensate.
“This type of liquor, only a frog at the bottom of the well that has not seen the world will regard it as a treasure.”
Yang Chen coldly snorted: “Explain? Why do I need to explain?”
“On the name of this old man Jiu Xian!”
The person upstairs could no longer resist, Yang Chen repeatedly degraded the Blue Cloud Immortal Class and even the people who admired the Blue Cloud Immortal Class counted that the person upstairs wouldn’t take this anymore.
Not to mention the person upstairs, those who lined up to drink alcohol downstairs, watching the debacle, were also quite irked. What? A frog at the bottom of the well? They were so many people wishing for it, were they all frogs that have never seen the world?
Everyone saw a sudden flower, and a middle-aged man appeared in front of everyone. This Yuanying ancestor’s aura did not spread outside, but an invisible power forced Yang Chen, which seemed to make him feel a tremendous pressure.
It was a pity that this wouldn’t work for Yang Chen. The power that Jiu Xian sent out was simply like throwing a stone at the sea, he didn’t react at all.
When she heard the name of Jiu Xian and then saw his appearance, Sun Qingxue knew it was not good. She hurriedly pulled the clothes of Yang Chen forwards and said in a low voice: “elder brother Yang, Senior Jiu Xian, is a guest of the Sect.”
Sun Qingxue, although her Master was a Great Ascension realm expert, for these guests, she was still very respectful and could not help but remind Yang Chen.
“Senior Jiu Xian is addicted to alcohol like it is his life, he goes around the world to drink good wine, as long as any liquor can earn his praise, immediately the sale price rises sharply.”
To be honest, Sun Qingxue was a little anxious. Yang Chen provoked Senior Jiu Xian dissatisfaction. Seeing that there would be conflicts, it must be that Yang Chen, this Foundation realm younger generation would suffer. All of this would be attributed to her instead, how could she calm down. She looked anxious beyond words.
“The old man doesn’t know the little girl.”
Jiu Xian seemed to be directed at Yang Chen. Who told him that Blue Cloud Immortal Class was ordinary, “Boy, today, no matter what you say, because of this, you will go to Blue Cloud Immortal Class wine and apologize, or you will come up with evidence of Blue Cloud Immortal Class being ordinary. Otherwise, don’t blame this old man.”
“Jiu Xian? Is it self-proclaimed?”
Yang Chen took such kind of people, who rushed to find abuse, insignificant. He sneered, “How many types of good wine have you drunk to dare be called Jiu Xian? The beautiful mouth wants to deceive the liquor to drink, when I am a child?”
Let him come up with evidence to prove that Blue Cloud Immortal Class was ordinary. To put it bluntly, it was to ask Yang Chen to come up with a better wine. This remark has indeed been suspected as cheating. Moreover Jiu Xian, seemed to have been cut off by Yang Chen, how could he care about a mortal guy who claimed to be a wine celestial.
Jiu Xian was already a Yuanying ancestor, but he was also unable to speak for a long time after Yang Chen’s words. Dignified, Jiu Xian, had become a rogue to sip wine, how could the heart of Jiu Xian bear it.
“How rude!”
Someone screamed from the side. The people who lined up were all good wine drinkers, and they had all heard the name of Jiu Xian. And Yang Chen reprimanded him this way. How could people not be filled with indignation?
“Good! Good! Good!”
Jiu Xian was angered and laughed, pointing to Yang Chen, and even said three good words.
“This old man has not come out for a long time, it seems that there is a group of exceptional descendants. Today, this old man does not lie to you. If you can take out a cup of wine that is better than Blue Cloud Immortal Class, out of this old man’s possessions, you can pick one.”
“Are you sure?”
Yang Chen’s eyebrows got erected and he asked. A cup of wine for a magic weapon of a Yuanying ancestor, this sale was worth doing.
“It’s hard to chase after a word!”
Jiu Xian raised his head and said proudly. He had this capital pride, the world good wine, which of them had he not drunk, the Five Elements Sect five phase disorder liquor and Blue Cloud Immortal Class shared this honour. They were both at par, almost the same, to say that the other surpassed Blue Cloud Immortal Class, it certainly was impossible: “All people on the scene, can testify.”
“Good!”
Yang Chen nodded.
“However, if you can’t get it, what should you do?”
Jiu Xian did not give Yang Chen a chance to escape and immediately asked. The people beside them were also pushing the waves and urging Yang Chen loudly.
“What do you want?”
Yang Chen did not care, asked directly.
“I can forgive a younger generation, if you can’t get anything decent.”
Jiu Xian fully showed the generosity of his seniority at this moment. He waved his hand and said very generously: “As long as you are in front of everyone and apologize to Blue Cloud Immortal Class, admit that what you said was nonsense!”
The people around, listening to Senior Jiu Xian, one by one cheered. It was as if they had already won.
“Senior, are you sure you will not regret it?”
Yang Chen suddenly asked with a smile.
“Why would I regret?”
Jiu Xian had already determined that Yang Chen was looking for an opportunity to escape.
Where would he give him the opportunity, “This old man will never regret it!”
“Senior are you not afraid. Once you have tasted the taste of my wine today, you will never taste it again?”
Yang Chen’s smile was getting more and more happier.
