Fifty spirit crystals were still quite a burden for Chen Lin now. After paying for the Tingfeng Station and the Liangyi Plate, he didn't have many spirit crystals left.
However, this tavern owner is indeed very mysterious. Many well-informed people in the city say that she is one of the people most likely to know the situation inside the ruins of the ancient country of Sanyu, so he participated in the auction.
Curiosity about the spirit wine was one thing, but more importantly it was to give the other party the impression that you were generous, so that it would be easier to inquire about information from the other party later.
As soon as the price of fifty spirit crystals was announced, the tavern fell silent.
There were several more bids, but none of them was higher than this price, and finally Chen Lin won the first place.
The other two cultivators won the second and third place with forty-three and forty-one spirit crystals respectively.
The top three candidates have been determined.
The lady boss behind the counter had no expression on her face, as if she was accustomed to such scenes.
After waiting for a while and seeing that no one bid, she said, "Congratulations to the three Taoists for being qualified to choose wine this time. The rest of you can leave. Thank you for your support. Tomorrow is the free wine selection day. I invite you all to come again."
He actually issued an order to expel them.
Chen Lin was amazed. This business was really tough.
But it also made him look forward to the wine in the jug even more. This way of doing business would attract many customers, so the products must be good.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and the line of destiny appeared in his mind. He had spent fifty spirit crystals, so he had to choose the best pot.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when other customers left, Chen Lin imagined choosing the best of the three pots of spirit wine, and then using the power of luck to correct the gap in the line.
After they were done, only three people who had won the bid to select wine were left in the tavern.
Besides him, the other two were the old man with the gray cannon and a middle-aged man with a smile on his face.
Judging from their aura, both of them have high cultivation levels and are the kind of people who have held high positions for a long time.
The proprietress looked at Chen Lin and the other two, then said softly, "According to the rules, the one who offers the highest price has the right to choose first."
After saying that, his eyes fell on Chen Lin, and he bowed slightly as a greeting, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your recognition of the Fairy Tavern. Would you like to choose the first one, the middle one, or the last pot?"
Then she added, "You are unfamiliar to me, so you may not know the rules of this tavern. Whenever there are three pots of spiritual wine for blind auction, one of them may emit spiritual light when it is opened. The customer who gets this wine can make a request to me. The more colors of the spiritual light, the higher the request. If there is a seven-color spiritual light, I can agree to any request!"
Can you agree to any request
Chen Lin nodded meaningfully.
No wonder these people are fighting for her so fiercely, this woman really has the capital to be fought over.
However, from his feeling, the other party did not seem like someone who needed to rely on such means to survive. With his skill in brewing spirit wine, he would have no shortage of resources, so there was no need to do so.
Either there are other intentions, or it is due to the practice of a certain technique, just like what happened to Lady White Bone.
But no matter what, it was none of his concern, his purpose was just to get information.
"Then let's go with the first option!"
He didn't want anything to happen between him and the other party, so there was no need to wait until the end, so he just chose the first one.
He stood up and walked to the counter. Without any observation, he picked up a wine jug and opened it.
As the lid was opened, a wave of pure energy and an intoxicating aroma of wine emanated simultaneously, and then, under the gaze of everyone, a brilliant light bloomed, so beautiful that it swayed like an elf.
"Colorful spiritual light!"
The old man with a gray cannon next to him exclaimed with an unpleasant look on his face.
According to the rules of the tavern, only one of the three pots of spiritual wine is magical. If it is opened by someone else, he will have no chance.
In order to select the wine this time, he made sufficient preparations and spent a large sum of money to buy an item that could temporarily increase his luck. He was determined to get it, but he didn't expect that his hopes would be dashed at the very beginning.
Moreover, the spiritual light this time was a colorful spiritual light that no one had ever produced before!
A flash of coldness flashed across the old man's eyes when he looked at Chen Lin, thinking that Chen Lin had taken away his opportunity.
The middle-aged man next to him also showed a look of astonishment and envy, but did not express it too much.
Even the proprietress was slightly stunned for a moment, but then she concealed it and nodded to Chen Lin, saying, "This fellow Taoist is really lucky. You are the first customer to have seven-colored spiritual light since I opened the shop. I once said that as long as someone has seven-colored spiritual light, it is the time for me to close the tavern."
At this point, she looked at the two old men and said, "The Fairy Tavern will no longer exist from today onwards. After you two Taoist friends have chosen your wine, please leave. As the last customers, I will give each of you a pot of Ruyi Zui. Thank you for your support over the years."
The old man's expression changed, but he didn't get angry. He chose a pot of wine, put away the Ruyi Zui, and turned to leave the tavern.
The same is true for middle-aged men.
In the end, only Chen Lin was left.
Chen Lin frowned. This was not the situation he wanted. Not to mention that he was in a hurry to rescue Luo Qinglan, even under normal circumstances, he would not have any entanglement with such a mysterious person.
"I don't know how you made the seven-colored aura appear, but since I have set the rules, I will definitely abide by them. Now you can make your request!"
As soon as the people left, the smile on the proprietress's face suddenly disappeared. She looked at Chen Lin with an inquiring look and spoke softly.
Chen Lin suddenly realized.
It turned out that the colorful light appearing in the wine jug did not exist originally, or there was a possibility, but the probability was almost zero. It was just a gimmick brought out by the other party, but it was changed by him through his innate ability.
"Can you really ask for anything?"
Chen Lin looked at the other person with interest.
Judging from the attitude shown by the other party, he probably doesn't think so in his heart. This is not the devil scene. There are no unchangeable rules and restrictions. He really wants to give it a try. If he makes unreasonable demands, will the other party fulfill its promise
The proprietress's plump body trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips and said, "Yes, any request is fine. Do you want to spend a night with me? No problem, I can satisfy you."
Chen Lin suppressed his restlessness and stopped testing the other party. He was afraid that if he continued to test him, he would be putting himself in danger.
He waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are overthinking. I didn't mean that. I just heard that the proprietress of this tavern knows a lot about the situation of the Three Jade Ancient Country, so I came here to ask."
The proprietress was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked at Chen Lin deeply, with a complicated expression: "Are you sure this is what you want?"
Chen Lin smiled slightly and said, "Why, this request is not possible? Could it be that the boss lady is interested in my body and must covet it?"
The proprietress relaxed slightly, and smiled: "I didn't have much interest at first, but now I've actually produced some."
After saying that, he took out a uniquely shaped cup and handed it to Chen Lin.
In the face of Chen Lin's puzzled gaze, he introduced: "This thing is called the Dragon Fish Cauldron. I brought it out from the ruins of the ancient Sanyu Kingdom. If you want to enter the ruins, you can go to the palace to find a man named Gu Lianfeng. He will help you."
Immediately, she spoke again: "But I got this thing five hundred years ago. It is hard to say whether the situation has changed now. You can't put all your hopes on this thing. Moreover, the people of the ancient fairy country have mutated. You must not be fooled by appearances. They are no longer real human beings!"
