Xiao Fei set up a stall in the market to sell spiritual wine. He hawked his wares for most of the day but only managed to earn less than ten immortal stones.
Many passersby looked, inquired, and haggled, but very few actually paid with immortal stones.
After all, this kind of spiritual wine was not a rare commodity, and there were over a dozen people selling it on this street.
The intense competition had driven prices down to extremely low levels.
Just then, Xiao Fei packed up the wine jars from his stall. He was no longer selling.
He used the few immortal stones he had earned to buy a Yunxian Grass and a Yanghun Grass in the market, but unfortunately, he couldn't find any immortal grass seeds.
Then, he strode out of the market.
Xiao Fei’s clone had already prepared the new variety of spiritual wine in his spatial dimension, but he dared not take anything out of it now.
Qingqiu City was teeming with experts. If he accidentally leaked the aura of the Jade Plate of Creation, he would be finished.
The spiritual wine he sold at his stall was all stuff he had taken out and placed in his storage bag previously.
After returning to his cave dwelling, Xiao Fei, along with Feiyu, flew away from the Qingqiu Sacred Land, heading towards a remote and desolate area.
He flew until he reached a barren land far from any civilization. Then, Xiao Fei used the Earth-遁ing technique again, burrowing deep underground.
Only then did he take out a large quantity of spiritual wine, mixed with "Zhu Yan Bai Gu," from his spatial dimension and packed it into a large storage bag.
Having finally managed to leave Qingqiu City, he also took out the remaining four lotus seeds he had stored in his spatial dimension.
The Heavenly Fire Golden Lotus King had a total of five lotus seeds. He had previously refined the blue, wood-attribute lotus seed into his body.
He was already quite familiar with the wood laws within it and had mastered them to a considerable extent. At critical moments, he could use them as he wished.
He could even summon this lotus seed to serve as an immortal artifact in combat.
This time, he took out the remaining four lotus seeds, packed them into jade boxes, sealed them with talismans, and put them into a storage bag. He could refine them slowly within Qingqiu City later.
In addition, he took out many other items from his spatial dimension that might be useful in the future, filling three large storage bags.
After completing all this, he emerged from underground again and rode his large bird back towards the Qingqiu Sacred Land.
Xiao Fei returned to Qingqiu City and headed straight for the market.
Upon returning to the market, he didn't rush to sell his spiritual wine. Instead, he bought a batch of jade bottles, each capable of holding only one jin of spiritual wine.
These jade bottles were made from high-quality spiritual jade and were exquisitely crafted.
In the mortal world, any single jade bottle would be a rare treasure. However, in the immortal realm, such jade bottles were not expensive, with tens of thousands available for one immortal stone.
After moving a large pile of jade bottles back to his cave dwelling, the dwelling transformed into a small underground workshop. Xiao Fei and Feiyu began to produce "three-no" products.
The ten-thousand-year-old spiritual wine in his spatial dimension was stored in large wine jars for ease of storage.
Any single jar contained over 100 jin, and some of the larger jars could hold tens of thousands of jin of wine.
Now, Xiao Fei and Feiyu, working together, would repackage these spiritual wines into individual jade bottles.
After filling them, they would apply a layer of sealing talisman to the outside. This was not primarily to prevent spiritual energy from leaking out, but more importantly, to make them appear more solemn and precious.
With their vast divine abilities, the bottling speed was astonishingly fast.
In just over half a day, they had bottled ten thousand bottles.
Xiao Fei couldn't wait for the next day. He took Feiyu and headed to the market.
This time, they found a better location. They even specially brought a carved wooden table and displayed dozens of spiritual wine bottles on it.
Presenting the spiritual wine this way immediately created a stark contrast with other stall goods, making them appear much more upscale.
"How much for your spiritual wine?"
As soon as the spiritual wine was displayed, it attracted a man with a single horn on his head and a bulbous nose, who stepped forward to inquire.
Xiao Fei directly picked up a bottle of spiritual wine and placed it in the man's hand.
"Our spiritual wine is not for sale, it's a gift. This offer is for three days, and each person is limited to one bottle per day."
The bulbous-nosed man held the spiritual wine, slightly disbelieving. Such a marketing strategy had never appeared in the immortal realm before.
"You're giving it to me? Is that true?"
Giving away spiritual wine like this was unheard of, unseen.
"Of course, it's true. For these three days, all our spiritual wine will be given to fellow Daoists to taste for free.
We will only start selling it at the original price after three days."
"Such a good thing! Thank you!"
The bulbous-nosed man felt he had gotten a bargain and left with the spiritual wine.
"Spiritual wine is free!"
"Spiritual wine is being given away for free!"
"Step right up, don't miss out!"
"Only three days!"
"There won't be another chance after these three days, come quickly and claim yours!"
With their shouts, a large crowd immediately gathered in front of the wooden table.
At a spiritual wine stall a short distance away, a Earth Immortal was haggling with the stall owner for a long time. They were arguing so fiercely that foam was appearing at the corners of their mouths.
Just as they were about to finalize the deal, the Earth Immortal suddenly heard about the free spiritual wine being given away here and immediately turned and walked towards Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei and Feiyu had only been shouting for a short while before they became overwhelmed, with hands stretching out in front of them.
These hands belonged to men and women, some rough, some soft and tender, and some that clearly didn't look human.
Xiao Fei accepted them all. As long as they were Earth Immortals or above, he gave them a bottle for free.
These immortals, who usually appeared dignified and graceful, with flowing robes, seemingly detached from worldly affairs, revealed their true nature when faced with an opportunity for a bargain. None of them wanted to miss out on a freebie.
Whether the spiritual wine in the bottle was of good quality, or even safe, was not a consideration. They would take it home first.
Some people even tried to take advantage of the situation, claiming one bottle, circling around outside, and then coming back to claim another.
But as immortals, their divine senses were extremely powerful. Xiao Fei could clearly remember the outline of each hand, their aura, and even the shape and number of hairs on their hands. How could he be tricked into giving them a second bottle?
The two worked busily for an hour or two and had already given away five hundred bottles of spiritual wine for free.
"Fellow Daoists, my apologies! My apologies!
We only prepared 500 bottles for today, and they are all gone. You can come back tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will prepare to give away 1000 bottles of spiritual wine for free!"
Xiao Fei cupped his fists in a bow, then, with Feiyu, squeezed through the crowd and slipped away!
The next day, when Xiao Fei and Feiyu leisurely walked to the market, they found a large crowd already waiting there.
"They're here! They're here!"
"They've arrived!"
Seeing the two arrive, the large crowd surged towards them like a tide.
These people had taken the spiritual wine home yesterday. Some had already tried it, and the taste was indeed wonderfully exquisite, far surpassing other ten-thousand-year-old spiritual wines.
Some had even been unable to sleep after drinking the spiritual wine, eagerly waiting to claim another bottle today.
"Fellow Daoists, don't rush! Don't rush! Everyone will get some! Everyone will get some!"
Xiao Fei and Feiyu set up their display and gave away all 1000 bottles of spiritual wine they had brought for free.
As they finished distributing the spiritual wine and prepared to slip away, they were blocked by several Earth Immortals.
"Esteemed Daoist, I am willing to pay immortal stones to purchase it. What price? Can you sell some to me?"
Xiao Fei cupped his hands with regret.
"My apologies, the 1000 bottles of spiritual wine prepared for today have all been given away. I have none left in hand!"
While the other party was momentarily stunned, Xiao Fei, with Feiyu, immediately left the market.
He needed to cultivate a customer base and build anticipation. Naturally, he would not sell them casually.
