Qin Haodong picked up the glass. First, he smelled it, then he frowned. Then, he gently took one sip of the wine and immediately spat it out.

“It’s too terrible to drink. Can it even be called wine?”

His action directly attracted the attention of the people around him. They all looked toward him.

The face of the fat boss fell immediately. He said angrily, “Boy, did you come here to make trouble?”

Qin Haodong shook his head and said, “I’m not looking for trouble. Your wine is too terrible to drink.”

He was telling the truth. The wine-making here was really bad. The wine here was sour and bitter, which could not be compared with the wine on earth.

“Nonsense!” the fat boss became angrier and shouted. “Boy, even if you want to make trouble, you should have a better reason.”

“Everyone in the entire Tortoise Academy knows about my Fatty Gao’s Ten Miles Fragrance. This is an ancestral secret recipe for making wine. Even Dean Luo drinks only our wine. How dare you say that my wine is not good? It’s obvious that you are picking on me.”

The people around also began to talk about it. “Yes, Fatty Gao’s wine is really good…”

“Ten Miles Fragrance is a top-grade wine, but it’s too expensive. A bottle of Ten Miles Fragrance costs 100 Upper-Level Spirit Stones.”

“Where did this young man come from? He really doesn’t know the actual situation. How dare he say that the Ten Miles Fragrance is not good to drink!”

Hearing the people’s discussion, the fat boss said proudly, “Did you hear that, boy? No wine is better than my Ten Miles Fragrance.”

Qin Haodong just smiled. He came here to simply find out about the market and price of the wine products in the Lingwu Continent so that he could set a price for the wine he was about to sell.

He turned around and left the wine shop. Zhao Xingyun followed him and said, “Big Brother Qin, shouldn’t we find a way to earn the registration fee as soon as possible? Why did you come here to taste the wine?”

“Don’t worry. The registration fee will be ready soon,” Qin Haodong said with a smile, “How many Upper-Level Spirit Stones can be exchanged for a top-level Spirit Stone?”

Zhao Xingyue said, “10,000.”

Qin Haodong nodded. He took out a table from his Storage Ring and put it in front of him. Then he took out two bottles of Maotai wine and placed them on the table.

He had just checked that many people here had Storage Rings, so he was not worried that his behavior would attract the attention of others.

“What’s this? So beautiful,” Zhao Xingyue picked up a bottle of Maotai wine and asked.

Although the Lingwu Continent was full of Spiritual Qi, the wine jars used to hold wine could not be compared with the bottles of Maotai wine made by modern industry. They were so utterly different from each other.

“Wine. It’ll become our registration fee later.”

Qin Haodong said as he took out a wooden board. He wrote down the words “Wine for Sale” on it, and then put it in front of the table.

Zhao Xingyun said in surprise, “Big Brother Qin, you are selling your wine in front of a wine shop. Will you be able to sell it?”

Fatty Gao on the opposite side had been paying attention to Qin Haodong. He also saw the sign displayed. He couldn’t help sneering. “Where did this fool come from? How dare he sell wine in front of my wine shop?”

“I can guarantee that he can’t sell a drop of wine. There is no wine in the world better than my Ten Miles Fragrance.”

The others also echoed his words. They laughed at Qin Haodong because he was teaching fish to swim.

Although there was a street between Qin Haodong and the wine shop, Qin Haodong clearly heard what the people were saying. He smiled, took a bottle, and opened the bottle cap.

Maotai wine was a strong-flavored wine. It was the most fragrant among the different wines. When the bottle of Moutai wine which had been in storage for 15 years was opened, the strong fragrance of the wine immediately drifted out.

Under the control of the Green Wood Genuine Qi, almost everyone in the whole commercial street smelled its fragrance.

“Oh, My God! What kind of wine is this? Why is it so fragrant?”

“This is the real deal as the fragrance of wine wafted more than ten miles away. No wonder the young man said that Fatty Gao’s wine was nothing at all. It turned out that he really has good wine!”

“This wine is too fragrant. If I can take a sip, I’m willing to die!”

Fatty Gao was completely dumbfounded. The proud smile on his face froze. As the person who made wine, he naturally could understand how good this wine was. The fragrance of the young man’s wine really could be smelt ten miles away.

Under the allure of the wine fragrance, countless drunkards were immediately attracted and gathered around Qin Haodong’s table.

“Young man, how much is your wine? I want all of it.” A middle-aged drunkard wiped off his drool and reached out to grab the bottles of Maotai wine.

Qin Haodong said, “Five top-level Spirit Stones for one bottle.”

“What? How much?”

As soon as the man’s hand touched the bottle of Maotai wine, he immediately withdrew it as if he had touched a bomb.

Qin Haodong said, “A bottle of wine costs five top-level Spirit Stones. No cheating and no discount.”

“Oh, My God! Are you crazy? Your wine is too expensive!”

When they heard the price, many people who wanted to buy it gave up and could only drool helplessly.

After a brief moment of shock, Zhao Xingyue whispered in Qin Haodong’s ear, “Big Brother Qin, is your wine too expensive?”

Although the Lingwu Continent was full of Spiritual Qi and was rich with top-level Spirit Stones, there were many cultivators on this continent and they used up a lot of Spirit Stones every day.

Therefore, one top-level Spirit Stone could purchase many things. Two bottles of wine cost ten top-level Spirit Stones. An ordinary person could definitely not afford it.

Qin Haodong said, “Don’t worry! My wines are definitely worth this price.”

He was confident enough. No matter where it was, rare things were always precious. These two bottles of Maotai wine would surely be considered as rare goods here. He was certain he would have buyers soon.

At this moment, a skinny geezer suddenly appeared in front of the wine shop. He carried a huge wine gourd on his back and exuded a strong smell of wine.

“Director Luo, you’ve come!”

After seeing the geezer, Fatty Gao immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

The skinny geezer was Luo Dongqing, the Associate Dean of the Tortoise Academy. He had no other hobbies in his life, except for drinking wine. He came to Fatty Gao’s wine shop every day to buy a gourd of Ten Miles Fragrance.

Luo Dongqing sniffed and said eagerly, “Fatty Gao, you have such good wine. Why didn’t you inform me? Don’t you want to open your wine shop? Hurry up and bring me the good wine.”

“Director Luo, I’ve already prepared it for you. It’s the best Ten Miles Fragrance in our shop,” Fatty Gao said as he brought a jar of wine to Luo Dongqing.

Luo Dongqing raised his hand and opened the seal on the wine jar. He sniffed and said, “No, no. The fragrance is not coming from this wine. Hurry up and change the wine for me.”

Fatty Gao said, “Director Luo, this is already the best wine in our shop.”

Luo Dongqing grabbed Fatty Gao by the collar and lifted him up easily. “Nonsense, I can smell the fragrance of wine. Do you still want to hide it?”

Fatty Gao knew what was going on. He pointed to Qin Haodong on the opposite side with a bitter face and said, “Director Luo, don’t be angry. The fragrance you smell is from the wine of the young man on the opposite side.”

Luo Dongqing immediately put Fatty Gao down and came to Qin Haodong’s table.

Looking at the two bottles of Maotai wine on the table and smelling the strong fragrance of wine, he swallowed convulsively. If it weren’t for his identity as the Associate Director, he would have immediately reached out to grab the two bottles of wine.

“Young man, how much is your wine? I’ll buy them!”

“10 top-level Spirit Stones.”

Looking at the geezer in front of him, Qin Haodong’s pupils shrank slightly. He couldn’t feel his cultivation, which could only mean that he was at least at the Strong at the Combination Realm.

Luo Dongqing was startled and shouted, “What? So expensive! Young man, I’ve never seen such an expensive wine in my whole life!”

“I can assure you that you have never drunk such good wine in your life,” Qin Haodong said with a smile, “I’m not greedy. The academy requires one top-level Spirit Stone for registering. That’s really expensive.”

Luo Dongqing asked, “Are you a freshman who’s going to register?”

Qin Haodong nodded. “My wine is the best wine. There are only two bottles left. If it weren’t for the registration fee, I will not sell them.”

“Interesting. I hope you can pass our academy test,” Luo Dongqing said with a smile. “I want your wine.”

After that, he threw down 10 top-level Spirit Stones and grabbed the two bottles of Maotai wine. He raised his head and took a big sip.

“Good wine! Good wine!”

After saying that, Luo Dongqing disappeared with the two bottles of Maotai wine.

The other drunkards couldn’t help swallowing hard when they saw Luo Dongqing gulping down the wine.

Fatty Gao breathed a sigh of relief. He heard it clearly. Qin Haodong only had two bottles of this kind of wine. If Qin Haodong really had many bottles of this wine, his wine shop would probably close.

Qin Haodong put away the ten top-level Spirit Stones and said to Zhao Xingyue, “Let’s go and register.”

They came to the middle-aged teacher again and handed over two top-level Spirit Stones.

After Zhou Youcai received the top-level Spirit Stones, he took out two forms and asked them to fill in the basic information. Then he took out two test crystals and gave each of them one.

“Put all your Genuine Qi into it. If you meet the requirement, you will be a member of our academy.”

Qin Haodong held the crystal in his hand. He didn’t know what the admissions standard of the Tortoise Academy was.

However, since Zhao Xingyue had reached the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm and still came here to register, the standard should not be too low. Thus, he did not hide his strength and directly poured all his cultivation into it.

When the Green Wood Genuine Qi entered the testing crystal, it instantly erupted with a dazzling red light.

Zhou Youcai had been watching nearby. He had clearly seen Qin Haodong selling wine to raise the registration fee. He felt that a person who didn’t even have a top-level Spirit Stone wouldn’t have any high cultivation. He definitely would not be able to pass the registration test.

Although the Tortoise Academy was the highest level academy in the Tortoise Kingdom, people would meet the admission standard as long as their cultivation reached the early Nascent Realm.

They recruited almost 1,000 students this year. Most of them were at the stage of the early Nascent Realm. Only the particularly outstanding students were at the early stage of the Apotheosis Realm.

But he never thought that this student, whom he was not optimistic about, could make the crystal emit such dazzling red light. This was a sign that could only be found in the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm. Was he a genius student?

Qin Haodong put down the test crystal and looked at the dazed Zhou Youcai. He asked, “Teacher, have I passed the test?”

Only then did Zhou Youcai come to his senses. He looked at the form in his hand. It clearly said 21 years old. How could he have such high cultivation?

Even the little witch known as a peerless genius in Tortoise Academy didn’t have such a good result when she entered the academy.

He licked his lips and asked, “Did you lie about your age?”

“Lie about my age?” Qin Haodong said in surprise, “I’m not going on a blind date. Why should I lie about my age?”

The middle-aged man raised his hand and patted his forehead. “I forgot! Forgot! If you are over 30 years old, the crystal will give off a warning.”

He immediately said with a big smile, “Congratulations on becoming a member of our Tortoise Academy!”
