Chapter 16: Seeking to Purchase Spiritual Wine

At this moment, He Zhi had many thoughts running through his mind.

However, he didn't continue bringing items from the real world into the cultivation world for experimentation.

Mainly because he didn't have many good things on hand to use for experiments.

Should he try putting toilet paper from the bathroom or a big radish from the kitchen into the cultivation world to see if they'd be enhanced?

Iron wire was one thing, but if toilet paper and radishes could turn into cultivation resources, He Zhi really couldn't bear to look.

Anyway, he already had the materials for Qingxuan Sect's Sword Refining Formation, so there was no rush.

"Better to continue cultivating."

He Zhi felt that his own cultivation was more important.

So He Zhi returned to his bed, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes tightly, and prepared to continue entering meditation for cultivation.

He had wanted to stir-fry some Spirit Beast Meat to taste earlier, but now he'd forgotten about it.

At this time, He Zhi had only just started cultivating on his second day and was full of energy, not wanting to waste even a single minute.

However, a moment later, He Zhi opened his eyes again, frowning slightly.

"If I keep cultivating like this, won't I lose my income from game boosting? How will I eat and live? What about my sister's tuition and living expenses?"

He Zhi felt this was somewhat difficult. Now that he'd started cultivating, time was precious.

What about his game boosting work?

He couldn't just stop earning money and spend every day cultivating.

Qingxuan Sect's resource problem was solved, but he himself was still poor.

He Zhi was pondering this.

Ring ring ring...

Just then, his phone rang.

He Zhi looked and saw it was a call from Shao Shan.

"Brother Zhi, do you still have that good wine called Grand Dao Wander? There's a big shot who wants to buy it, preferably with the brewing method. He says he'll pay any amount."

It turned out Shao Shan was helping General Manager Zhao seek to purchase Spiritual Wine from He Zhi.

He Zhi had just been worrying about how to make money, and now a source of income had arrived.

Any amount?

That was quite a bold claim.

"Little Shan, you didn't reveal my identity to this big shot, did you?"

After hearing this, He Zhi asked with a frown.

Someone offering a large sum to purchase Spiritual Wine didn't make He Zhi happy, but rather worried.

If some big shot really had his eye on him, that could be troublesome.

He Zhi became somewhat alert. Had he been too careless?

He shouldn't have let Shao Shan come into contact with this Spiritual Wine.

And what about the Spiritual Fruits he'd sent to his sister? Would they be discovered?

He Zhi reflected inwardly—had he gotten carried away?

"Brother Zhi, what are you saying? Am I that kind of person?"

"Don't worry, I told that big shot the wine came from a friend who doesn't want to reveal their identity."

Shao Shan heard He Zhi's concern and quickly explained.

"That's good then."

He Zhi nodded upon hearing this, feeling slightly relieved.

Though Shao Shan was somewhat unreliable, he was quite loyal and hadn't revealed He Zhi's identity.

"So Brother Zhi, about this wine..."

Shao Shan asked again.

"There's none left, not a single drop. I can't sell any."

He Zhi directly refused.

Though he needed money, he didn't want to sell Spiritual Wine to some big shot.

Otherwise, if it caused trouble, he hadn't succeeded in cultivation yet, was disabled, and couldn't even walk—how would he deal with it?

"Then... Brother Zhi, I'm sorry. I was too rash. I'll refuse General Manager Zhao right away."

"Don't worry, I absolutely won't reveal your identity."

Shao Shan said somewhat cautiously. He could tell He Zhi was a bit unhappy.

Shao Shan felt guilty.

He Zhi truly treated him as a good friend, bringing out that kind of fine wine to entertain him and even giving him two bottles when he left.

Yet Shao Shan had taken that wine to curry favor with some big shot, nearly bringing trouble to He Zhi.

So Shao Shan decided he wouldn't bother He Zhi with this matter anymore.

No matter how Shao Jianguo and General Manager Zhao asked in the future, he wouldn't reveal He Zhi's identity.

"Little Shan, wait!"

At this moment, He Zhi suddenly spoke up. He'd changed his mind.

He Zhi felt that relying on Shao Shan not to reveal his identity wasn't reliable either.

In this modern society, Shao Shan's usual movements, where he went and who he contacted, were easy to investigate.

For a big shot, finding He Zhi wouldn't be difficult.

So he still needed to resolve this matter.

"Brother Zhi?"

Shao Shan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. Was there still hope?

"I'll tell you—that Grand Dao Wander wine was passed down from my ancestors."

"There were only five bottles total. I don't know which generation of ancestors obtained them, stored for who knows how many years. And there's no brewing technique either, just the name Grand Dao Wander."

"Earlier when cleaning, I found a box in the basement with five bottles of wine and a note with the wine's name written on it."

"I don't know anything about wine, so I just casually took some out to drink with you."

"Now I only have two unopened bottles left. If that big shot wants to buy them, fine."

"Two hundred thousand per bottle, no negotiation."

He Zhi thought for a moment and made up a story.

Selling the wine was fine, but only two bottles.

And two hundred thousand per bottle.

This way he could both resolve the trouble and obtain some money to solve his living expenses.

Otherwise, before he succeeded in cultivation, he might starve to death from lack of money...

"Thank you, Brother Zhi!"

Upon hearing this, Shao Shan became extremely excited.

As long as he could buy wine from He Zhi, he could report back to his father Shao Jianguo.

And General Manager Zhao would initiate cooperation with Shao Group.

In that case, He Zhi agreeing to sell the wine would help him tremendously.

"Little Shan, remember—the wine can be sold, but you must not reveal my identity."

Hearing Shao Shan's excited voice, He Zhi knew this matter was very important to Shao Shan.

He smiled slightly and reminded him once more.

"Understood, Brother Zhi, don't worry. I definitely won't reveal it!"

"But Brother Zhi, isn't two hundred thousand per bottle priced a bit too low?"

Shao Shan excitedly promised, then after a moment couldn't help but ask.

Honestly, two hundred thousand per bottle was already very expensive.

Generally, only aged famous wines could sell for this price.

But how could He Zhi's Spiritual Wine compare to ordinary famous wines?

He Zhi's Spiritual Wine was ten times, a hundred times better than those so-called famous wines.

Shao Shan felt He Zhi could ask for a much higher price.

Two million, or even twenty million per bottle—General Manager Zhao probably wouldn't haggle.

"No, two hundred thousand per bottle. No haggling, no price increase."

But He Zhi still insisted. He wasn't greedy.

Two hundred thousand per bottle, two bottles would be four hundred thousand.

This money couldn't buy much space in the expensive big city, but it was enough for He Zhi and his sister to live on for a long time.

He Zhi was selling the wine to resolve trouble, not to make a fortune.

If he really opened his mouth wide asking for two million or twenty million,

Even if General Manager Zhao didn't haggle, if he felt unhappy afterward, trouble would still come.

Even if General Manager Zhao didn't cause trouble, buying wine for millions or tens of millions would inevitably cause a sensation and bring endless trouble.

He Zhi just wanted to live peacefully with his sister and didn't want to become famous.

Besides, He Zhi had already started cultivating—what did he need so much money for?

So, two hundred thousand per bottle, and no one's persuasion would work.

"Since you insist, Brother Zhi, then alright."

"Brother Zhi, your mindset is truly elevated. I can't compare."

"I'll transfer the money to you shortly. I'll come get the wine next time."

Shao Shan excitedly hung up the phone.

Not long after, He Zhi's phone received a notification.

"Your account has received 400,000 yuan..."

Shao Shan trusted He Zhi completely. He'd transferred the money before even getting the wine.

"Your account has received 400,000 yuan."

"Brother Zhi, let's count the two bottles you gave me earlier too."

Another four hundred thousand had arrived!

Shao Shan had included the two bottles He Zhi had given him earlier.

Two transfers, eight hundred thousand total!
