Mingdai took Little Douding in hand and planned to follow, but as soon as she took a step forward, she felt something was not right. When she turned around, she found Little Douding standing motionless, seemingly unwilling.

Ming Dai stopped and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

"..."

Little Douding looked at the door not far away, and then at the people walking around drinking. Finally, his eyes returned to Mingdai, and he subconsciously moved closer to her.

"Can we not go in?" he asked quietly.

Mingdai: "Don't you want to go in?"

He hesitated for a moment and nodded honestly.

Ming Dai was a little surprised when she saw this, but in front of so many people, she didn't ask why.

Some children have lacked a sense of security since childhood and are easily afraid of strangers when they go out. Mingdai did not force herself and discussed with him: "How about that? Why don't you wait for me here? I'll be back soon."

When Xiao Douding heard that he wanted to stay here alone, he immediately shook his head like a rattle and hugged Mingdai's arm tightly with both hands: "Then I'd better go with my uncle."

"Immortal?" While the two of them were talking, Aunt Zhao, who entered the courtyard first, found that there was no one behind her, so she turned back.

She was still wondering why Mingdai didn't follow her. When she opened the door curtain, she noticed that there was a child beside Mingdai. She was stunned and said with a smile: "This is your little boy? He's so cute."

"Thanks."

Ming Dai never liked to reveal too much personal information when she was away from home, so she didn't explain that this was her apprentice and not her child.

However, when Xiao Douding heard this, she secretly looked up at her, pursed her lips, and followed Ming Dai's steps obediently, not knowing what she was thinking.

Aunt Zhao is a typical businesswoman. She started chatting smoothly and chatted while walking: "This child looks smart, he must have spiritual roots, right? Have you measured what attributes he has?"

Ming Dai: "Not yet."

Under normal circumstances, children can be tested to see if they have spiritual roots when they are around 10 years old, but the specific spiritual roots cannot be known until the Qi is introduced into the body.

Aunt Zhao didn't get the answer and didn't care: "It will probably be soon."

She looked at the tall female immortal beside her and the little Douding who was following the immortal step by step. She didn't know what she thought of, and said with emotion: "Lao Cai should have mentioned the situation of our family to you, right?"

"Our family used to farm in the village. Our hometown is far away. After leaving Linxian Town, we have to walk more than a hundred miles west to get there. This wine shop only opened later."

"When our family moved to Laxian Town, my nephew was about the same age as yours. Unfortunately, he didn't have much understanding. It took him four years to learn how to introduce qi into the body. Wow, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Unlike the Immortal, this child in your family is smart at first glance. I'm sure he has a spiritual root and can go up..."

In just a few minutes, this was the second time Mingdai heard about her nephew from Aunt Zhao.

It feels like listening to the old people in the village saying, "My son/daughter works in xx city, and my grandchildren study at xx university."

Ming Dai didn't really want to talk to her about Xiao Douding, but it wasn't good to keep being silent, so she followed the other person's topic and asked: "Is your nephew also in the Sword Sect?"

"right."

Aunt Zhao said generously: "But his talent is not good. He is a five-spirited person. After practicing for so many years, he has been stuck in the Qi training stage and has made no progress. On the contrary, it is convenient for us to sell wine, rice and so on at the peak.

of."

"When the spirit rice arrives in Linxian Town, I will ask him to deliver it to you directly, so the Immortal Master doesn't have to make another trip."

The rules of the Sword Sect are very strict. Generally, except for the few days when admissions are open every year, ordinary people cannot even enter the teleportation array, let alone get close. They can only look at the mountain tops looming in the clouds and mist from a distance.

Even an inconspicuous delivery man like Mr. Cai has a certain amount of spiritual power.

While talking, they had already arrived in front of a closed room in the backyard. Aunt Zhao asked them to wait at the door, then took out the key from her arms to unlock it.

She opened the door and said: "This room is usually used to store spiritual wine, so the smell may be a bit strong when the door is opened. Don't mind..."

Mingdai nodded and said nothing.

The smell of alcohol is already strong in the liquor store, let alone in the backyard warehouse.

But she didn't know if the spiritual wine in the world of immortality was different from the modern wine. She always felt that the smell seemed a bit weird, but when she smelled it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing there.

...Thinking of the bizarre news she had seen in her previous life, she subconsciously grabbed Little Douding's hand.

The latter immediately raised his head and looked at her.

Mingdai said without changing her face: "Stay back and be careful not to get hit by the door."

"..."

Xiao Douding looked at the door that was obviously going to open inward. He didn't understand why his uncle said that, but he still took a small step back and hid behind Ming Dai, only half of his head exposed.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, this door opens inwards. The smell inside is too strong, please bear with it a little."

As the words fell, the door also opened, and a mellow aroma of wine floated out from the room. Looking around, it was indeed filled with wine.

Aunt Zhao called them in, but Ming Dai only took a symbolic step and did not follow her in. She was waiting at the door with Xiao Douding. The former didn't force herself anymore when she saw this.

Within two minutes, Aunt Zhao walked out holding a jade box.

Afraid that Mingdai would misunderstand, she explained: "Spiritual rice is different from ordinary rice. We are afraid that the spiritual energy will escape after being stored for a long time, so we usually seal it in this special box."

"Don't dislike my rudeness. Although our rice doesn't look very good, its spiritual energy content will definitely not be worse than what's sold in the market."

While she was talking nonchalantly, she opened the box and showed the spiritual rice inside to Ming Dai.

Ming Dai actually didn't know much about this, but before entering the liquor store, she walked around the market and took a quick look. The rice in Aunt Zhao's box was indeed yellower than the ones sold outside.

If we put it in modern times, there are generally two reasons why rice turns yellow. Either it is yellowed due to the influence of mold, which can easily lead to poisoning and cancer after eating; or it is improperly stored and turns into old rice.

Either way, it's not a good thing.

Aunt Zhao said helplessly: "To be honest, this is why I had to invite you in to take a look, and I didn't dare to put these spiritual rice directly in the store for sale."

Since ancient times, the most taboo thing for those who sell food and beverages is the issue of raw materials.

The reason why their wine shop is able to survive in Linxian Town is largely because the wine they make is better than others.

And the koji is made from their own spiritual rice.

Old customers may not think anything of it. After all, they have been drinking for so many years. They have their own judgment on whether the wine is good or bad, and many people even know it. But new customers may not necessarily know.

If you just put these yellowed spiritual rice in front of you, let alone sell rice, I'm afraid you won't even be able to sell wine.

If Uncle Cai hadn't introduced it, she probably wouldn't have sold it - these were Aunt Zhao's exact words.

While Mingdai listened to her ramble, she grabbed a handful of spiritual rice and carefully felt the spiritual energy in it. After a while, she asked: "How do you say the price?"

"It's easy to talk about. The Immortal Chief was introduced by Lao Cai, so it has to be cheaper. Besides, aren't we doing this all for the sake of our children? It just so happens that I find this child of yours to be a match..."

Aunt Zhao said with a smile and put the box in her hand aside. The jade box made a collision sound with the table.

"Uncle!" Xiao Douding suddenly shouted for no reason and held on to Mingdai tightly.

The latter was stunned by his shouting. Just as she was about to say something, a stream of smoke suddenly ejected from the jade box and exploded directly in front of her!

"Aruan, stay back!"

Mingdai's heart sank, and she secretly thought, "Sure enough, she reacted quickly and drew her sword!"

However, Aunt Zhao who was opposite her didn't panic when she saw this. Instead, she smiled and said, "As expected of an immortal from a large sect, he reacts very quickly."

"It's a pity that after being hit by my spiritual transformation powder, the deeper the spiritual power is, the harder it is to move. If you want to blame it, you can only blame your child's good luck..."

Before she could finish her words, a broken sword was placed directly on her neck, blocking the rest of her words in her throat.

At the same time, a cold voice came from her ear——
