"Welcome, Lord City Lord, to our shop. Please come in!"

Chen Dalei's face was full of smiles, and his voice was full of respect. He knew the identity and status of the city lord in front of him very well, and he dared not neglect him in the slightest.

When he first arrived in Baiyun City, he used all his connections to find out everything about Qingmu.

Although he was caught off guard by the sudden visit of the city lord today, his many years of business experience helped him to calm down quickly and he did not dare to ask any more questions.

"Show me your menu! And tell me what good wines you have!"

As Wang Bin spoke, he strode into the inn with big strides. His majestic aura made the air around him seem a little heavier. In fact, he was just walking normally, but the Qi training cultivators around him had a natural fear of the foundation building cultivators.

"My Lord City Lord, our shop doesn't have a menu. The only ingredients we can offer today are first-level monster meat, fresh and tender rabbit meat, fat and lean pork, and delicious snake meat. We also only have first-level spirit wine.

But don't worry, sir, these foods are all delicious, and there are also some drinks for mortals."

Chen Dalei followed closely behind Wang Bin, pretending to wipe the sweat from his forehead while quickly introducing the situation in the store.

"Why are they all first-level monsters?"

Wang Bin frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

In the world of cultivating immortals, first-level monsters correspond to cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, second-level monsters correspond to cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and so on. This seems to be an invisible rule, and no one knows which ancient powerful person formulated it.

"Sir, this is a small business. I am only at the Qi Refining stage and I really don't have the ability to deal in higher-level ingredients."

Chen Dalei explained helplessly. He knew his strength and ability were limited. In this world of immortal cultivation, full of dangers and opportunities, it was already very difficult to maintain such a small business.

After listening to Chen Dalei's explanation, Wang Bin nodded slightly and said nothing more.

He waved his hand and ordered, “Give me one of each dish.

Also, bring all the wine in your store for me to taste, and don't leave out any wine that mortals drink!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dalei did not dare to delay at all and immediately took out the wine from the storage bag on his waist.

Almost all of his belongings were placed in the storage bag. With a wave of his hand, bottles of wine appeared on Wang Bin's table like magic. In the blink of an eye, the table was filled with five wine bottles and exquisite tableware.

Wang Bin's eyes fell on a white jade bottle. He reached out and picked it up, gently unscrewing the cap.

Instantly, a rich aroma of wine, like a spirit freed from its cage, filled the air with a touch of spiritual energy. The aroma was rich and mellow, possessing a captivating magic.

Wang Bin was delighted, and a look of anticipation appeared on his face. He carefully poured out a glass of wine, which flowed in the glass like flowing moonlight.

He couldn't wait to bring the glass to his lips and took a small sip.

When the wine enters your mouth, a light aroma of wine spreads on the tip of your tongue. The taste has a subtle sweetness, just like the flowers blooming in spring, exuding a charming fragrance.

Then, the wine slowly flowed down his throat into his stomach, like a warm stream, nourishing his body. Strands of spiritual energy mingled with the wine, like countless tiny points of light, flowing slowly throughout his body as the wine flowed.

These spiritual energies were like hardworking little craftsmen, slowly being absorbed by the body, nourishing his meridians and spiritual power. However, the taste and feel of this wine made Wang Bin a little disappointed.

It was like the sweet wine fermented from glutinous rice in his previous life. The taste was too soft, more like a drink favored by women, and the spiritual energy content was pitifully small, which was of almost no substantial help to his current cultivation.

Wang Bin shook his head slightly, put down the wine glass in his hand, and then tasted the remaining wine one by one.

These wines each had their own characteristics, but most of them could not satisfy him. Just when he was feeling a little discouraged, the last bottle of wine caught his eye.

This was an ordinary wine. The moment he opened the bottle cap, a strong smell of alcohol hit him in the face. The spicy smell was like a fire, instantly igniting his passion.

He took a small sip and found the wine spicy and refreshing, like a flash of lightning across his taste buds, which lifted his spirits.

Wang Bin pointed at the bottle of wine, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and said loudly: "This wine tastes good. Bring me ten bottles, and put the rest away."

"Yes, Lord City Lord, this bottle of ordinary wine is called Hero Wine. One low-grade spirit stone can buy ten bottles." Chen Dalei answered respectfully.

"Oh! So cheap! Give me a hundred bottles!"

As soon as Wang Bin heard the price, he became interested.

He felt that although this wine was just an ordinary wine, the unique taste fascinated him, and the price was simply too cheap to be imagined.

When Chen Dalei heard this, his eyes lit up and the smile on his face became even brighter. He immediately smiled apologetically:

"No problem, sir. This Hero Wine is not cheap among ordinary wines. This bottle of wine is worth ten taels of gold, enough to feed a family of four for a year."

In his opinion, today's business was really profitable. Of course, it was not about the money. The biggest gain was getting to know the city lord.

While waiting for the food and wine, Wang Bin sat on a chair, closed his eyes slightly, and felt the lively atmosphere in the inn.

The whispers of the surrounding monks and the crisp sounds of wine glasses clinking together seemed to have become a unique background music.

Before long, one dish after another with fragrant aromas was served.

After all the dishes were served, Wang Bin looked at the table full of delicious food, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

He couldn't wait to taste these delicacies that were rarely seen in the world of immortal cultivation.

He first picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth. He took a light bite and found the rabbit meat was tender and juicy. The unique texture and delicious taste instantly burst out in his mouth.

He then tried the pork and snake soup, each dish intoxicating him. The taste of the spirit beast meat was simply indescribable, far beyond his imagination.

The source of these delicacies is not only due to the chef’s superb cooking skills, but more importantly, the high quality of the ingredients themselves.

These first-level monster meats contain rich spiritual energy. Although they have been cooked, they still retain their unique flavor.

As for why humans can eat monster meat, the reason is actually very simple.

In this wonderful world of cultivating immortals, there is no essential difference between demon beasts and spirit beasts.

They are like two sides of the same coin. If it is an enemy of cultivators and often fights against humans, then it will be called a demon beast, a devil beast or a wild beast.

But if it is a practitioner's companion, pet, or is used as food like it is now, then it will be given a relatively mild name - spiritual beast.

This classification method may seem simple and crude, but it is widely accepted and followed in this world.

Originally, Chen Dalei wanted to treat the city lord to a free drink. In his opinion, this was a good opportunity to make friends with the city lord.

But Wang Bin firmly rejected his kindness.

Wang Bin knows very well that in this world, debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay.

He didn't want to owe unnecessary favors to others because of these small favors. He preferred this clear and transparent trading relationship.

After eating and drinking to their heart's content, Chen Dalei came over with a smile on his face to pay the bill. When Wang Bin heard the price, he was immediately surprised and said:

"What! 15 low-grade spirit stones."

Chen Dalei's heart skipped a beat, thinking that the city lord was not satisfied with the price. Although he was a little worried, he immediately bowed and explained honestly:

"Sir, 100 bottles of Hero Wine are worth 10 low-grade spirit stones. This plate of rabbit meat, this plate of pork, and this bowl of snake soup are worth 6 spirit stones in total. After the discount, it will be 5 spirit stones, for a total of 15 low-grade spirit stones."

As he explained, he secretly observed Wang Bin's expression, feeling as nervous as if he had a rabbit in his chest.

"Haha, I'm not angry, I just think the price is too cheap."

Wang Bin immediately understood the reason and burst into laughter. He thought to himself, the prices in this world of immortal cultivation are really interesting. If it were in the past, such a sumptuous meal would cost much more than this.

"call"

Chen Dalei breathed a sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease. He smiled and said:

"Sir, these monster meats are only first-level. Their fur, claws, bones, and the like have all been used to make magical instruments and other things. The remaining monster meat is not very useful, especially since they are first-level monsters. Of course, I can still make a little profit."

As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, trying to make Wang Bin understand the situation more clearly.

When Wang Bin heard this, he immediately understood.

He thought to himself that after all, he was now a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. If he was still in the Qi Refining Stage, spending 15 spirit stones on a meal would be a considerable expense.

You know, the guard commander Chen Jun under him only receives a salary of 200 spirit stones per year.

In this world, spirit stones are like the source of life. Each one is hard-earned and needs to be cherished and used.

Wang Bin, who was full of food and drink and in a good mood, stood up contentedly.

He took out his flying sword, jumped lightly, and stood on it.

Now that my drinking craving has been satisfied, it's time to go home.
