Chapter 1307 One Million Nether Crystals for a Glass

Comparisons were odious. That perfectly described Yellow Spring Great Sage’s present mood. A miserable expression came over his face as he looked at the huge jade jar in Bu Fang’s arms, then at the wine jar in his hand, which was only about the size of an adult’s fist.Rumble…

An oppressive sound echoed through the skies, which came with terrible energy. Many people couldn’t help looking up at the changes in the sky, where clouds were churning as if mysteries were stirring among them.

‘A tribulation!’ Bu Fang’s eyes flickered as he thought to himself. The tribulation didn’t come as a surprise to him. He was already accustomed to facing lightning punishments whenever he cooked something amazing. However, this tribulation was something different.

It was no longer lightning, but scary pressure which seemed to come from the Will of the Great Path!

“This wine jar is really too small…” Yellow Spring Great Sage said as he looked at Bu Fang.

“Small? You won’t feel that way later…” Bu Fang glanced at him and said faintly.

His words gave the Great Saint a pause.

“Look! An anomaly!”

“Is that a lightning punishment? No, it doesn’t look like one!”

“That’s a tribulation from the Will of the Great Path!”

The scene shocked the people of Earth Prison, and they looked at the anomaly in astonishment. At this moment, there seemed to be a heavenly palace in the sky, in which thousands of thunderbolts slithered messily like serpents, all targeting Bu Fang.

“This wine seems to be truly extraordinary. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have attracted a tribulation…”

Yellow Spring Great Sage carefully held the wine jar in his hand as he looked at the palace in the sky. He was slightly surprised. The tribulation was an unusual one. It was the manifestation of the Will of the Great Path upon sensing power that was beyond the control of this world. Although he was the one who attracted Earth Prison’s Will of the Great Path, Bu Fang was the primary maker of the wine. Therefore, the tribulation targeted Bu Fang instead of him.

Rumble!

There seemed to be divine soldiers roaring in the heavenly palace. Thunderbolts slithered messily in the sky, while a terrible fluctuation shook the world. At this moment, the whole Earth Prison was plunged into the terror of the tribulation.

Lying in front of the Yellow Spring Little Restaurant, Lord Dog glanced at the tribulation in the sky and said in a faint voice, “This is a Heavenly Palace Tribulation, a punishment that can only be attracted when one reaches the peak of a particular realm. And usually, the average person can’t even touch the peak of a realm at all…

“Bu Fang boy should have reached the peak. He has likely stepped into the peak level of Qilin Chef Realm with this jar of wine…”

A peak Qilin Chef was not weaker than an average Divine Chef. In other words, the jar of wine in Bu Fang’s arms was equivalent to a wine brewed by a Divine Chef, and… it was very likely to be the top fine wine among all the wine brewed by Divine Chefs. After all, once the wine brewed by a peak Qilin Chef transcended a Heavenly Palace Tribulation, it would have a different taste, which was very intoxicating. The average chef could not brew such a wine in his lifetime.

The peak level…

The people of Earth Prison were stunned. Just now, they were shocked by the customers in the restaurant, which included Earth Prison Dog, Yellow Spring Great Sage, Prison Lord Ying Long, and the Nether King. These were all famous supreme existences of Earth Prison. It was an amazing sight to behold when they gathered in a little restaurant.

But then, something even more shocking happened—the owner of the restaurant brewed a jar of wine that touched the peak level! Just the mere thought of such an amazing wine was enough to make them excited and make their mouths water. At this moment, everyone wished to taste it.

Bu Fang raised his head and looked at the anomaly in the sky. The palace filled with thunderbolts was just the Will of the Great Path’s manifestation, and he wasn’t too concerned about it. Holding the jade wine jar, he could feel an incredible power contained inside.

“Whitey,” Bu Fang called faintly.

Ting-a-ling!

The kitchen’s curtain was lifted, and the bell rang beside every ear. That gave the crowd a pause. The next moment, a white puppet walked out of the restaurant. It had a pair of blue eyes and looked somewhat stupid, cute, and harmless.

“I’ll let you handle this tribulation,” Bu Fang said as he raised a hand and patted Whitey on its round belly. After that, he walked straight into the restaurant with the wine jar in his arms.

That gave the crowd another pause.

“This chef… plans to defend against the Heavenly Palace Tribulation with his harmless-looking puppet? Isn’t he overconfident?!”

Yellow Spring Great Sage gave Whitey a surprising look and clicked his tongue in admiration. Then, he followed Bu Fang’s footsteps, carefully holding his small wine jar.

Seeing that Bu Fang had entered the restaurant, Nether King Er Ha and the others followed.

Outside, the experts from various families of Earth Prison all stared at Whitey with wide eyes. Under their gazes, Whitey raised its big hand and touched its bald head. The next moment, its blue eyes gleamed like the starry sky, and its metal wings unfolded with a rumble. Then, it kicked the ground and shot into the sky in a beam of light.

Under the watchful eyes of all, Whitey rushed into the palace that was full of thunderbolts in the sky. The palace looked like the residence of some gods, mysterious and profound, and it represented the peak-level tribulation.

Could a puppet withstand such a mighty tribulation?

As soon as Whitey rushed into the palace, it pulled out the War God Stick and swung it fiercely. The sea of lightning exploded into an uproar in an instant. At the same time, a huge black vortex appeared in its abdomen, spinning rapidly as it devoured the lighting like drinking water.

“What the f*ck?! What is happening?!”

The crowd was stupefied. As they watched the harmless-looking Whitey rush into the palace in the sky and wantonly devour the lightning like a robber, their faces turned blank.

Many couldn’t believe that a tribulation could be transcended like that, especially when it was a Heavenly Palace Tribulation representing the peak level. Although the lightning punishment wasn’t too strong because Bu Fang’s cultivation base wasn’t strong enough, he should at least show some respect to it, shouldn’t he?

Just as the people were stunned by the way Whitey used to transcend the tribulation, Bu Fang had brought the wine jar into the restaurant with a group of men behind him.

Just now, when Yellow Spring Great Sage attracted the Will of the Great Path into the jar, they saw and sensed everything clearly. In this inconspicuous jar was a wine infused with three different Wills of the Great Path—the Earth Prison’s Will of the Great Path, the Immortal Cooking Realm’s Will of the Great Path, and one whose origin they did not know.

How amazing was the wine brewed in this way? Everyone was curious. Even Prison Overlord Ying Long, who looked the oldest among them, came near the jar, leaning on the Hollow Eye Staff.

The jade jar was inconspicuous, looking like a real ordinary wine jar. It didn’t even glow. However, the crowd knew that it was a jar of extraordinary wine.

Nethery held Foxy in her arms, and both of them blinked at the same time.

“Bu Fang young man, open the jar now and let us try the wine…” Nether King Er Ha said with a spicy strip held between his lips. He couldn’t wait to taste it.

Bu Fang didn’t answer him immediately. Instead, he placed his palm over the lid of the jade jar and glanced at Nether King Er Ha.

“This wine… You can’t taste it for free,” he said with a straight face.

The people present froze, while Yellow Spring Great Sage reflectively held his little wine jar tighter.

“This wine is called the supreme-grade Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine. Its ingredients included the Nine-leaf Yellow Spring Grass, the Nine-petal Flower of Helplessness, the tender leaf of the Immortal Cooking Realm’s Immortal Tree, the leaf of the Nine Revolution Great Path Tea Tree, the source of the Spring of Life, the juice of the Flaming Vermilion Fruit…”

Bu Fang spat out a bunch of names in a serious voice. All the people present were men with high status, so after they heard the names, they couldn’t help but gasp.

They knew the Nine-leaf Yellow Spring Grass. It was Yellow Spring Great Sage’s precious treasure, and he had been holding it in his hand every day. The fresh leaf of the Immortal Cooking Realm’s Immortal Tree was an ingredient no less amazing than that, and the leaf of the Nine Revolution Great Path Tea Tree… They felt incredulous knowing that the wine was made with these ingredients.

“Well…” Bu Fang sighed, attracting everyone’s attention. “To be honest with you, I’ve lost everything for this jar of wine.”

No one, however, felt that he had lost everything when they heard him say that.

“Therefore, if you wish to taste this wine, you need to pay me Immortal Crystals or Nether Crystals… Take it as a support for my fruit of labor,” he continued.

The crowd looked at Bu Fang and complained in their minds. ‘He just wants us to pay for the wine… What’s the need to utter so much rubbish?’

“Well, we are not short of… money,” Yellow Spring Great Sage waved his hand casually and said with a smile.

He was right. The people present were all men with high status, and they would not be short of Nether Crystals.

“Good. I’ll tell you the price now,” Bu Fang said.

Nether King Er Ha and the others smiled indifferently. It was only a jar of wine. How expensive could it be? At their level, they had seen everything. Or so they thought.

Lord Dog lay under the Path-Understanding Tree, licking his paw as he glanced at Nether King Er Ha and the others with a half-smile.

“Due to its unique ingredients and difficult brewing method, there is only one jar of supreme-grade Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine in this world. Therefore, I’ll sell it by glasses. The price for a glass is one million Nether Crystals,” Bu Fang said calmly.

Although he sounded calm, Bu Fang’s heart raced as he said that because he also didn’t expect that the System would fix such an astronomical price on this jar of wine. According to what he knew about the System, this jar could fill at least a hundred glasses. In other words, this jar of wine cost over one hundred million Nether Crystals!

When he told them the price, everyone present froze.

Although they had seen everything and they had great mental toughness, they were struck dumb when they heard the price. It was true that they were men with high status, but they had never heard of a wine that cost so much. Even the top wine of the Abyss cost only hundreds of thousands of Nether Crystals a jar, and yet Bu Fang’s wine cost one million Nether Crystals a glass…

They thought he’d better changed his name to Profiteer! What he did was truly immoral!

Even Nether King Er Ha couldn’t help but have the same thought at this moment.

Yellow Spring Great Sage was shocked. As he glanced at Bu Fang, he reflexively put his arms tightly around his fist-sized wine jar.

‘He’s selling a glass of this wine for one million Nether Crystals… Although my jar is small, it can fill at least a dozen glasses. In other words… I’m now holding tens of millions of Nether Crystals? I’m now a millionaire?! No wonder he said I’m not suffering any losses… I’m rich!’

At the thought of that, Yellow Spring Great Sage grinned like a fool.

“Don’t you think it is too exaggerating to sell a glass of wine for one million Nether Crystals?” Prison Lord Ying Long glanced at Bu Fang as he tapped the floor with the Hollow Eye staff.

The others also nodded in agreement.

“You think it’s expensive?” Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth.

The next moment, he gently lifted the lid of the wine jar. In a flash, a rainbow light burst out of the jar, attracting all eyes. The color was shockingly beautiful, but what startled them was the rich bouquet, which made them feel like they were floating in the ocean.

The aroma spread far and wide as soon as the lid was lifted, drifting out of the restaurant through the door and intoxicating all the people outside. Soon, it filled the whole city, causing the people to cheer excitedly.

Bu Fang took a deep sniff at the bouquet and said, “Do you still think it’s expensive?”

Prison Overlord Ying Long’s withered face twitched instantly. With a thought, a cloth bag appeared in his hand, and he threw it onto the table with a thud.

“Here’s one million Nether Crystals. Give me a glass now,” Prison Overlord Ying Lord said.

Nether King Er Ha and the others were rendered speechless in an instant.

“Where is your dignity?!”
