Longevity: Start Farming with Entries Chapter 48 - 46: Shopkeeper Liao’s Business Secrets

Ti slowly passed.

Ten days flashed by.

During this ti, Qin Ming stayed indoors, tirelessly practicing the Great Success Level "Blood Burning Blade Technique" from morning to night, engraving the insights of the technique into his heart.

The eleventh day.

After the entry effect disappeared, Qin Ming attempted to cultivate the "Blood Burning Blade Technique" again.

With his personal experience, Qin Ming spent another two days, refining the technique from Master Level back to Great Success Level.

At this point, he completely mastered this set of sword techniques!

Today.

Qingyang Market.

Qin Ming ca to Juxuan Pavilion once again.

Shopkeeper Liao was at the first-floor counter calculating accounts; he looked up outside and saw a major custor arriving.

Imdiately, his face blood with joy!

He swiftly put down the account book, with a trademark smile on his face, hurriedly coming out to greet him.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, you ca just in ti. Our shop has a new batch of the latest Spirit Bamboo Wine. Please co to the private room on the third floor for a taste, hehe."

Qin Ming was surprised, "Shopkeeper, I ca specifically today to buy spirit wine from you as a gift for soone."

Shopkeeper Liao paused and his smile beca even brighter, "Oh! Isn’t that a coincidence?"

Inside the private room.

After inviting Qin Ming to sit down, Shopkeeper Liao took out a pot of wine, poured him a cup, and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, please!"

"Try how this Spirit Bamboo Wine tastes."

Qin Ming lifted the cup, sniffed it, and then drank it all in one go.

Imdiately, a unique crisp and sweet aroma of Spirit Bamboo filled his mouth. As the spirit wine entered his stomach, it even slightly enhanced his mana!

"Good wine!"

Qin Ming couldn’t help but exclaim!

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Qin might not know, this wine cos from a Spirit Bamboo Mountain deep in the Yunze Wilderness. It is made from Spirit Bamboo over fifty years old. It’s not easy to brew and produced in limited quantity—it’s a rare treasure among wines," Shopkeeper Liao expertly introduced.

"I’ll take the wine. How much does the shopkeeper have left?"

"This ti, we got in twenty vats, but they’ve all been reserved."

"I specially left two vats for Fellow Daoist Qin, hehe."

Having said that, Shopkeeper Liao took out two vats of Spirit Bamboo Wine from his storage pouch and placed them in front of Qin Ming.

Qin Ming raised his hand and with a wave, collected the spirit wine into his storage pouch. Then he asked, "How many Spirit Stones for these two vats of Spirit Bamboo Wine?"

"Ah, Fellow Daoist Qin, there’s no need for formality. This wine was ant as a gift to you," Shopkeeper Liao said with a wave.

Hearing this, Qin Ming comfortably accepted, knowing that last ti he bought a Magical Artifact here, spending over a thousand Spirit Stones.

He guessed this old fellow must have gotten quite a commission.

Qin Ming drank another cup of Spirit Bamboo Wine and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have Cold Dew Juice, Jade Fire Liquid, Spiritual Essence... these types of spiritual materials?"

"Of course, but these seem to be used for alchemy, don’t they?" Shopkeeper Liao looked puzzled, sowhat confused.

Qin Ming said casually, "That’s right, give ten portions of each."

"Ah? So many? No... no problem."

"Fellow Daoist Qin, may I boldly ask, are these spiritual materials... bought on behalf of Master Su?" Shopkeeper Liao was still unsure and speculated as much.

In light of the two vats of Spirit Bamboo Wine, Qin Ming didn’t hold back and straightforwardly said, "No, they’re for my own use."

"Could it be...?"

A thought flashed through Shopkeeper Liao’s mind, and he suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist Qin is also learning alchemy?"

"That’s right."

"I broke through to a Low-Grade Alchemist not long ago."

"Now I’m buying these spiritual materials to try refining Middle-Grade Pills," Qin Ming didn’t conceal this, as he’d probably be back to buy materials here in the future.

Buzz～

Shopkeeper Liao’s mind went blank.

’Mid... Middle-Grade Alchemist?’

He didn’t know what to say for a mont, only thinking that giving those two vats of wine was incredibly worth it!

Then he ca to his senses, his face breaking into a smile, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qin! I didn’t expect you to have such astonishing accomplishnts in the Alchemy Dao!"

"Could it be related to Master Su?" he cautiously asked again.

Qin Ming nodded lightly upon hearing this.

Only then did Shopkeeper Liao understand why his opponent’s alchemy skills progressed so quickly.

’Looks like the Pavilion Master was wrong; Fellow Daoist Qin and Master Su are not just ordinary acquaintances. If Master Su personally teaches alchemy, their relationship is surely close!’

’If Fellow Daoist Qin breaks through to a Middle-Grade Alchemist, then leveraging my current relationship with him, the Pavilion Master may credit greatly!’

Shopkeeper Liao’s thoughts raced, and his eyes beca vibrant.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I’ll decide on this batch of spiritual materials, and it’ll be settled at a fifty percent discount."

Qin Ming was surprised and then smiled, "Then I shall accept your generosity."

Seeing Qin Ming agree so readily, Shopkeeper Liao knew the opportunity was ripe, quickly pouring him more wine.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I have a request."

"If Fellow Daoist Qin has any spare pills to sell in the future, could you consider prioritizing this shop?"

Qin Ming smiled slightly, "Sure, though right now I can only refine so Low-Tier pills."

"Don’t get your hopes up too high, Shopkeeper."

"Not at all, with such talent in the Alchemy Dao, Fellow Daoist Qin will surely break through to Middle-Grade Alchemist soon."

"Co, I toast to Fellow Daoist Qin!"

Shopkeeper Liao burst out laughing.

Transaction complete.

The two continued drinking for a while.

As if suddenly rembering sothing, Shopkeeper Liao said earnestly, "By the way, Fellow Daoist Qin, recently the Spirit Field has been uneasy. Be careful not to go into the surrounding woods."

"I heard that a few days ago, four cultivators from the Spirit Feather Sect were killed and the bodies destroyed. The incident happened in the woods behind your Spirit Field."

"Oh? Have they traced the perpetrator?" Qin Ming said quietly, sipping wine without revealing anything.

"It’s said the scene was handled too cleanly. If the Spirit Feather Sect disciples’ soul lamps in the sect hadn’t gone out, they probably wouldn’t have been able to identify who died."

"The four cultivators from Spirit Feather Sect were mid-to-late stage cultivators. The perpetrator’s cultivation must be at least Qi Cultivation Perfection."

Upon hearing this from Shopkeeper Liao, Qin Ming relaxed.

"But, Fellow Daoist Qin, you don’t need to worry too much; the market is still safe. Especially since two powerful late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators moved next door to you, they can deter so petty thieves," Shopkeeper Liao added, fearing Qin Ming might worry.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming furrowed his brow in confusion, "Two new neighbors at late-stage Qi Cultivation?"

"Indeed, speaking of those two fellow Daoists, you saw them at our shop not long ago—the day we ca downstairs to receive those two cultivators selling Demon Beast carcasses. They are the Fengg Brothers," Shopkeeper Liao explained.

Qin Ming rembered, picturing two cultivators wearing leather Magical Robes, one of them bald.

"Oh, so it’s them," Qin Ming remarked thoughtfully.

Seeing that Qin Ming hadn’t encountered them yet, Shopkeeper Liao said, "It’s normal if Fellow Daoist Qin hasn’t seen them; the Fengg Brothers are Demon Beast Hunters with strong powers, and they only return to the market once every ten days or so."

Qin Ming nodded.

The conversation concluded.

Qin Ming left the store.

Shopkeeper Liao saw Qin Ming out of the door, watched as he gradually walked away.

He couldn’t resist clapping his hands in excitent, muttering to himself with a face full of delight:

"The chance for great rit has finally arrived!"

"I must quickly report to the Pavilion Master!"
