Seeing this, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom immediately smiled and smoothed things over, gesturing to Xu Qing: "Xu Qing, stop hiding it, let these old brothers see your good stuff."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qing's mind stirred, and from within his world ring, seven bronze wine jugs, even more ancient than before, materialized out of thin air, appearing as Soul Clan Dou Di-700.
"This is a newly brewed 'Heartfelt Wine,' which the King of Qianwu Kingdom has already tasted."
As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed the lid of one of the wine pots, slowly lifting it upwards.
"The moment the soft popping sound rang out, the previously faint fragrance suddenly burst forth! The aroma was clear yet warm, sweet yet rich, and the wisps of wine fragrance spread along the airflow in the hall, instantly reaching the noses of the several cosmic venerables."
Even more astonishingly, the oppressive aura of the Venerable One that had been stagnant in the hall was quietly dispelled wherever the aroma of the wine wafted.
Venerable Meijin was the first to be moved.
His previously amused expression, which had been somewhat mocking, froze instantly. He leaned forward subconsciously, his nose twitching slightly. "This wine—it's completely different from the Purple Fire Ape Wine I drank before!" Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, his eyes instantly lighting up.
The Venerable Beiming, who had been standing with his arms crossed and a look of skepticism on his face, suddenly opened his eyes. His dark pupils were locked on the wine pot, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
As a supreme being of the universe, he had long since abstained from worldly food and drink for billions of years, yet the aroma of this wine stirred within him a long-lost feeling...
The thirst that longs to drink something quickly.
The other Venerable Ones were not to be outdone, their eyes glued to the wine jug. Mei Zhen even reached out to grab it, but was stopped by the King of Qianwu with a smile: "What's the rush? There's plenty for today, there will be plenty of opportunities to try it."
"Old ghost Qianwu, you really know how to hide things!" Mei Wei clicked her tongue, withdrawing her hand but still staring at the wine pot. "Such a good thing, and you only brought it out now? That's not very nice!"
These venerable beings, who usually dominate the universe and are capable of destroying the world, are now showing such childlike eagerness over a pot of wine.
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom saw this and was secretly pleased with himself.
He had long known the allure of this divine brew, and now, seeing the reactions of his old friends, he was even more certain that Xu Qing's wine would create a sensation in the top circles.
He picked up a wine jug and swirled it, the amber-colored liquid flowing within: "I wasn't lying, was I? The taste of this wine..."
I guarantee you'll want more after you drink it.
Mei Zhen could no longer contain herself and immediately shouted towards the rear of the palace, "Little Seven! Little Five! Come here, both of you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures quickly stepped forward.
"Sir, please."
Several people bowed, holding their hands in their hands.
Xu Qing distributed the wine jug to several people and watched as the figures busied themselves like waiters. He then narrowed his eyes.
This is because these beings are actually immortal gods! Their bodies are composed of immortal divine power.
Although the group did not reveal their strength, Xu Qing could tell.
"These immortals are much stronger than our teacher, Hu Yanbo."
These were actually powerful figures among the immortals who had been granted the title of Marquis. Their combat strength was at least several times that of Hu Yanbo. Even Hu Yanbo, who possessed the combat strength of ten immortals in his previous life, would have to lower his aura upon seeing them.
At this moment, however, these several immortal marquises concealed all their auras, bowed and scraped as they approached Xu Qing, holding jade cups in both hands, waiting to be poured wine.
This is not unusual in the primeval wilderness.
Even the core members of the secret realm can have ordinary immortals serve as their guard captains.
To be able to serve the Supreme Being of the Universe is already a great honor for someone who has been granted the title of Marquis and immortality; for them, this is perfectly normal.
In the hierarchy of the human race, only those who are crowned as Kings or Immortals, or even those who are crowned at the peak of Kinghood, truly have status. Even if they die, they have a chance to be resurrected by the Lord of the Universe.
As for ordinary immortals, or even high-ranking kings, once they fall, the lords of the universe mostly don't bother with them.
Only those who reach the peak or limit of the Kinghood will be resurrected in batches by the Lord of the Universe every few thousand or tens of thousands of years.
For the Lord of the Universe, the cost of resurrecting such a powerful being is negligible. However, the Lord of the Universe is high above and would never suffer a loss. Ultimately, this negligible cost must be repaid by the resurrected being himself.
They might fight for humanity or search for rare treasures to offer as tribute.
Normally, if a cosmic being were to die and be resurrected, it would be sufficient to use all of their wealth to cover the cost of the resurrection.
This is why the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom is able to owe the fortune of nearly a cosmic overlord, making him a remarkable figure even within the human race.
Venerable Megumin drank a cup, and his eyes immediately took on a dreamy look:
"Interesting. The flavor of this wine is unlike any other wine on the market. It seems to be a fine new brew made by this young man."
He looked at the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom as he spoke.
"Qianwu, tell me, how much is this wine? I'll buy it."
Upon hearing this, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom waved his hand and said:
"I'm treating you to drinks and asking you to help promote our products. Why would I expect you to pay for it?"
"Qianwu, stop pretending to be something you're not!" Venerable Beiming laughed first, his tone somewhat teasing. "Who here doesn't know your incredibly wealthy background? Have you finished paying off your debts yet?"
Upon hearing about the immense wealth of their family fortune, even the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom blushed, veins bulging on his forehead, as he argued:
"Owes money is owed money, and treating someone to a meal is treating someone to a meal; how can you treat them the same thing?"
This caused everyone to burst into laughter, filling the hall with a joyful atmosphere.
They were originally Qianwu Kingdom's brothers-in-arms and creditors for many years. In addition, the fact that Qianwu Kingdom's king owed money was almost common knowledge in the Hong Alliance. How could they not know about Qianwu Kingdom's current financial situation?
The reputation of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom is already common knowledge.
Seeing the Qianwu Kingdom's embarrassed state, Xu Qing's expression remained unchanged on the surface, but he secretly wanted to laugh.
As the laughter subsided, Venerable Beiming also said:
"So, what's the price? Just name a number, consider it the brothers supporting your business."
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom shook his head and told him the price.
"300 billion? That's not much, less than half the price of Purple Fire Ape Wine, and it has a different flavor." Venerable Mei Zhen nodded.
Before he finished speaking, several payment notifications lit up on the virtual universe network terminal of the Qianwu Kingdom Lord.
"Thanks a lot, brothers."
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom cupped his hands in greeting.
We've been brothers for years, so there's no need for further explanation.
Xu Qing then received a transfer notification.
The virtual network terminal was densely filled with zeros.
Nine hundred billion mixed units.
This is Xu Qing's share of the profits.
"This ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom is a man of his word."
Xu Qing nodded to himself.
Even his teacher, Hu Yanbo, only had a peak net worth of 1000 million mixed units.
Following the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, Xu Qing earned nearly 10,000 bets in less than a year.
