Volume 1 Chapter 17: Exchanging with You

  The old man was entranced in that cup of wine for over ten seconds, then sat down, his eyes fixed intently on Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng's body slightly leaned to the right, also staring at the old man.

  After a while, the old man didn't say anything, Jiang Feng couldn't help but speak up and said: "Another cup for you?"

  The old man nodded immediately, then pushed the wine cup forward. In an instant, he threw away the wine cup and picked up the small bowl again. Possibly feeling that the small bowl was still too small, he changed to a larger bowl.

  Jiang Feng poured wine from the water bottle into the bowl, thinking to himself that it shouldn't be too dangerous and probably nothing would happen.

  The wine was full, the old man drank it all at once, but looked very disappointed. The old man said: "How can this be? It's not strong enough. Bring that wine in the cup, don't bring this kind."

  Thinking that a high person is indeed a high person, it's really powerful. But Jiang Feng didn't pour wine, instead he pointed at those wine jars that hadn't been cleared by his partners yet and said: "I just mixed the wine, you're too late."

  The old man looked around at the many wine jars, then stared at Jiang Feng with wide eyes and said loudly: "You diluted the Ice Fire Wine? You good-for-nothing, I'll pinch you to death."

  As he spoke, the old man really made a move to strangle Jiang Feng, and Jiang Feng hastily dodged. Just as Jiang Feng was about to run away immediately, a female voice whispered something in Jiang Feng's ear. That sentence made Jiang Feng stop moving. The old man also didn't make another move. The old man's action just now was just a fake move after all.

  "Little brother, wasn't the one that originally held ice fire wine this cheap stuff? Come on, have some more, don't be so stingy!" The old man said with a smile, in a flattering tone.

  "It's really gone, I'm not lying to you." Jiang Feng said with a shake of his head.

  The old man's face turned serious, saying: "Not honest, who is foolish enough to dilute the Ice Fire wine with water." As soon as he finished speaking, he put on a smiling face again and said: "Have another cup, just one more."

  "It's not watered down, it's wine. Besides, I didn't know that was Ice Fire Wine either. What is Ice Fire Wine?" Jiang Feng said.

  "The Ice and Fire wine is... of course it's good wine. Have some more." The old man said.

  Jiang Feng still shook his head. The old man kept flattering him, and Jiang Feng kept shaking his head. The laborer who carried the wine jar was confused, not understanding what these two were up to. And where did this old man come from anyway?

  After talking for half a day, Jiang Feng still refused to give in. The old man was so anxious that he almost scratched his ears and cheeks. Perhaps because he really couldn't think of a solution, the old man suddenly came up with a sentence.

  "Help persuade?" The old man said, but he didn't look at Jiang Feng. He looked at the side of Jiang Feng's body.

  Jiang Feng glanced sideways, there was no one beside him. But immediately, Jiang Feng's heart skipped a beat. Beside him wasn't nobody, but a woman. Could it be that this old man could see her? If he could see her, that would be incredible. Even Qingmu hadn't discovered her before.

  No one responded to the old man, and he let out a sigh of his own, saying disappointedly: "What's the point of asking you, you don't care anyway."

  The old man slapped the table and said, "How about you and I make a deal? Let's exchange this."

  After the old man's hand left the table, Jiang Feng saw that there was half a blackened pill on it. It looked like a dan medicine, but it was the kind of burnt dan medicine.

  "Don't underestimate this medicinal pill. With it, you can immediately cure the internal injuries left behind by drinking the Ice Fire Wine earlier. Otherwise, once the effects of the wine wear off, you will immediately explode and die." The old man said.

  "It's a bit of an injury, but it's not as serious as you said. Are you trying to deceive me? I don't believe it," Jiang Feng said. He indeed didn't feel like he had any life-threatening injuries on his body.

  "Don't deceive me. This is Ice Fire Wine, after all. It contains a lot of spiritual energy, which can tidy up the body and consolidate the mind. Most importantly, it's a rare good wine. If you don't have the ability to drink this wine, you won't die immediately after drinking it. Once the effects of the wine wear off, you'll die instantly. Of course, if you're not expelling the wine's energy but instead suppressing it, nothing will happen." The old man said.

  Jiang Feng looked at the old man for a while, and the old man had a serious expression. His face was completely "you have to believe me". But Jiang Feng felt that the more he looked, the more he thought the old man would go all out for Binghuo wine.

  "Just trust me this once," said Jiang Feng. He then took out another water bottle from his storage bag and poured some undiluted liquor into a small bowl for the old man.

  The old man was so beautiful. After taking a small sip, he was even more intoxicated. Jiang Feng felt that at this time, no matter what he gave to the old man, he would not exchange it.

  "Go ahead and eat, don't worry about it. If you die from eating too much, I'll take responsibility." The old man said while tasting the wine.

  Jiang Feng half-believed and half-doubted, picked up the half-melted dan medicine, didn't think much, closed his eyes and swallowed it. After all, Lao Tou's strength was overwhelming to Jiang Feng, no need to play tricks.

  The medicine had only been in his stomach for a few seconds when Jiang Feng felt the medicinal properties spreading. The medicinal properties were not strong, but Jiang Feng felt that many hidden injuries appeared in his body, as well as a massive amount of spiritual energy that he had not discovered before being expelled from his body.

  "How was it? You felt it, didn't you. I'm not cheating you, old man." The old man said as Jiang Feng's face was full of astonishment. "Have another cup."

  Jiang Feng was already covered in cold sweat. Upon hearing the old man's words, Jiang Feng moved his hand, but quickly shook his head and held the water bag tightly.

  "Have some more of that medicine from earlier. I'll give you another cup." Jiang Feng said.

  The old man didn't say a word, shook his hand, and dozens of those muddy pills appeared. Jiang Feng also poured another cup of wine for the old man. When putting away those pills, Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel that these pills were defective products.

  "Good wine, good wine. It's been many years, finally got to drink it again. Worth the trip." The old man who drank the wine said with satisfaction, and at the same time, he started eating his food by himself.

  "Come on, come on." The old man said.

  This time, Jiang Feng didn't haggle over the price and directly poured a cup for him. He also poured himself a diluted one. The old man drank his, he drank his. However, Jiang Feng was sipping in small mouthfuls. The old man, on the other hand, downed a small bowl with just two gulps.

  "Alright then, you might as well give me this whole jug of wine. You can't drink it anyway." The old man said with full expectation.

  "I can dilute it and drink it." Jiang Feng said.

  The old man had an expression that looked like he wanted to strangle Jiang Feng. He said, "That's called a rare treasure. Do you know how hard it is to get this thing? How about this, I'll exchange something with you. What do you think?"

  Jiang Feng nodded slightly and didn't say a word. He was very clear that even if he disagreed, in the end it would still be up to this old man.

  An old drunkard, with his head down, looking at himself, both hands feeling around everywhere, as if searching for something. Before long, he pulled out two things.

  "The token can mobilize a sect. What's it called? Can't remember, anyway, it can mobilize a sect. Also, this jade token, can emit an attack, which can save your life. You just need to imprint it on yourself, that's all." The old man said.

  Jiang Feng looked at the two things on the table. The wooden token, no matter how you look at it, looks like a piece of wood picked up from the side of the road and then carved out. The old man can't even remember the name of the sect he sent, probably not some famous sect either. As for the other jade token, it doesn't seem to be anything good either.
