Chapter 107 - 107 Senior alchemist

After closing his eyes for a few hours to rest and recover his qi, Shun Long then stood up from his bed as he left his room, and walked toward the 'Treasure Pavilion.

As he left the 'Mystifying Fragrance pavilion', he saw many outer disciples on the street whispering about something and running towards the same direction.

Shun Long didn't pay any attention to them and kept walking towards the 'Treasure Pavilion'.

''Master, there seems to be quite a big commotion in that 'Redstone inn'.''

Shun Long nodded his head as he said

''It's natural that they would find out about Xiao Shitou and Lin Wu's deaths sooner or later. I'm even surprised that it took the sect 3 days to find out about it. Let's see how they handle it then.''

Half an hour later, a black robed Shun Long had already arrived in front of the 'Treasure Pavilion's' entrance.

The line to enter the auction this time, was even longer than last time.

Shun Long however didn't queue up, as he directly headed towards the VIP entrance.

After showing his invitation, the disciples in the entrance hurried to inform Yin Xing about it, who quickly came to welcome Shun Long inside.

As Yin Xing guided Shun Long to a private room he smiled as he started speaking

''Senior, I'm glad you came! If you didn't come I don't know what I would have done.

As soon as the higher-ups of the pavilion heard about senior's wine, our pavilion quickly spread the word of a wondrous wine being auctioned and it attracted the attention of a lot of high ranking Elders from the big families.

However, the higher-ups of the pavilion have told me to request from senior, to accept a meeting with the senior alchemist of our 'Treasure Pavilion' so that he can also verify the wine's properties.''

''Senior, please don't misunderstand. It's not that our 'Treasure Pavilion' doesn't trust you. The problem is actually with me. My rank is not high enough inside the pavilion, so they also need someone more experienced than me to check.''

Shun Long thought for a bit before nodding his head as he said in his deep voice

''I understand. You can call this alchemist of your 'Treasure Pavilion' then.''

After hearing Shun Long's words, Yin Xing breathed out in relief before repeatedly thanking Shun Long.

Yin Xing then led him in front of a private room with the number 1 on it, and after opening the door he said

''Senior, this is the best private room that our 'Treasure Pavilion' has, and it is only opened to our most important guests.''

Nodding his head, Shun Long didn't really pay much attention to Yin Xing, but after entering the room he was actually surprised.

The room was slightly bigger than the last private room he had entered in the past.

The decorations were almost identical to last time as well, except that there was a white couch at the center of the room that seemed to have been made from the fur of a rank 3 'white-furred bear' this time.

Seeing that Shun Long had sat down on the couch Yin Xing bowed his head as he asked

''Senior, should I ask for senior alchemist Ma to come now? We have less than an hour left until the auction starts after all.''

''In that case, call him here.''

Seeing Shun Long waving his hand, Yin Xing instantly left the room as he went to call that 'senior alchemist Ma' over.

Barely 10 minutes later, a silver-robed old man with a big beard had arrived at the room, with Yin Xing trailing behind him. This old man had a badge of a one-star silver cauldron on his c.h.e.s.t as he was surprisingly a rank 1 silver grade alchemist.

The old man's eyes, were staring at Shun Long's back full of shock, as he was unable to detect any aura coming from his body.

''Senior, this is our senior alche-''

Yin Xing hurried to introduce him, but 'senior alchemist Ma' was even more eager to speak, as he said

''This senior, my name is Ma Tengfei and I am the senior alchemist in the 'Treasure Pavilion'. I have heard a lot about you from Yin Xing and couldn't wait to meet you myself. I hope that senior will forgive my selfishness.''

Nodding his head Shun Long then said

''It's okay. I heard that your 'Treasure Pavilion' wants you to verify my wine. Here.''

Taking out the barrel from last time, Shun Long removed the barrel's top as the fragrant smell of the wine instantly filled the private room.

Ma Tengfei's eyes lit up as he inhaled the wine's smell, while little Black grumbled inwardly

''If only master didn't need spirit stones urgently, you monkeys would never get to even smell master's wine, let alone have a chance to purchase it!''

Shun Long then took a small cup from the small table in front of him, and filled it halfway with the wine before he said

''Try it. But you can only taste this much, or whoever buys the barrel later will end up chasing you for his money.''

Neither Ma Tengfei nor Yin Xing laughed though. Instead, Yin Xing nodded his head as he gulped after remembering the taste of this senior's wine.

He even looked at Shun Long pleadingly but Shun Long didn't even spare him a glance. He wasn't going to let Yin Xing drink his wine for free.

As Ma Tengfei took the cup, his hands seemed to have been shaking, before he immediately emptied it all in his mouth, in front of Yin Xing's and little Black's envious gazes.

The moment that the wine entered Ma Tengfei's mouth, it was like a delicious c.o.c.ktail of medicinal essence that assaulted his taste buds. Swallowing down the wine, the rank 6 Heaven grade expert could feel his body absorbing the medicinal essence, as it pushed his cultivation base upwards, ever so slightly.

He then turned to look at Shun Long with incredulity as he said excitedly

''Senior, this wine is an absolute treasure.''

Then, bowing his head he continued

''Senior, I have to immediately report everything to the higher-ups of the pavilion about senior's wine and its effects.''

Just when Ma Tengfei bowed and was ready to leave the room, Shun Long's heavy voice sounded in his ears as he said

''Wait.''

Ma Tengfei then looked back Shun Long as he asked respectfully

''Senior, do you have any instructions?''

Shun Long shook his head at Ma Tengfei's question, before he took out another wooden barrel from the 'Stone of Time' and said

''I have one more barrel that I want your 'Treasure Pavilion' to auction for me.''

Ma Tengfei's eyes shone brightly as he saw this barrel and couldn't help but ask in excitement

''Senior! Would you be willing to sell this barrel privately to our 'Treasure Pavilion'?''
