Immortal Realm’s Smuggling Kingpin

Chapter 53: Opening Chaos (1)

The opening was approaching. Du Lengning and Li Fei’er were up to their necks in work, but Luo Qian had suddenly vanished. A few days later, he returned and even brought some Immortal workers. They were moving a considerable amount of things.

“Be careful, be careful…” Luo Qian directed the Immortal workers to move every one of those boxes into the medicine hall.

Du Lengning and Li Fei’er came forward to ask, “Old Luo, what are these?”

Luo Qian smiled mysteriously. “Secret weapon.”

Li Fei’er pursed her lips in disdain. “Hmph, you’re a First-Order Immortal. What secret weapon could you have?”

Luo Qian was furious. He stared at her chest and bottom very sleazily for a long while. “This is our secret weapon, not mine. As for mine… you’re still too young. It’s inappropriate to let you know.”

The meaning in his words were concealed, and Li Fei’er could not figure them out, but Du Lengning could. He laughed out loud. “Old Luo, good one!”

Although Li Fei’er understood that what Luo Qian said certainly wasn’t anything nice, she could not understand what it exactly meant. She also couldn’t ask about it. She was so enraged that she stomped her foot harshly, turned, and ran away.

Luo Qian grinned, thrilled in his heart. Success once again! Actually he could also tell that Li Fei’er was not truly looking down on him; otherwise, she wouldn’t have stayed with him for such a long time. Only, this little lass seemed to have no other way of attacking him other than this point, so she mocked his abilities over and over again. However, Boss Luo was resolved to be a merchant. What ability, a gentleman uses his mouth and not his fists. Pushing over a woman using violence is known as r*pe, alright.

…

Boom boom, bat bat…

Four bamboo poles as thick as arms lifted red firecrackers. Dozens of Faraway Hall disciples beat gongs and sounded drums. Du Lengning—dressed in a bright-red robe—stood at the entrance, welcoming guests from everywhere, repeatedly cupping his hands and smiling.

Luo Qian hid in the VIP reception room. He watched Du Lengning and Li Xuexiao, who was beside him downstairs, and teased Li Fei’er—who was behind him. “Fei’er, look at Young Master Du. The medicine hall is opening, and he’s dressed like a groom. However, he and Li Xuexiao really look like a couple when they stand together like that. Fei’er, what is your ideal man like? Is it a frivolous, talented, and handsome man like Young Master Du?”

Li Fei’er scoffed. “Him? He can’t even beat one of my arms, talented and handsome my…” Li Fei’er wore an entranced look. “My dream lover must have remarkable skills. Not only would his Immortal power be unrivaled in the Immortal Realm, but he would also have no lack of literary grace and character. Martial skills allow him to command troops and defeat armies, and literary skills allow him to write books and stabilize the nation. He would definitely be an elite, an emperor amongst Immortals!”

“Aiya, why am I telling you all these!” Li Fei’er was immersed in the stirring feelings of love. When she suddenly returned to the present, she could not help feeling extremely embarrassed. Her face was bright red, making Luo Qian laugh out loud.

“By the way, have you arranged those glasses that I brought?” asked Luo Qian.

Li Fei’er replied, “I have. But what exactly is inside? The color is very bright, but why don’t I recall there being such a drink in the Immortal Realm? Also, you got the shop assistants to hold trays and walk around carrying the glasses. Aren’t you afraid of them being knocked over?”

“This is our secret weapon. You haven’t tried it yet, have you. Come, have a sip.” Luo Qian handed her a transparent glass; there was a cherry-red liquid in it.

Li Fei’er brought it to her nose for a sniff. “It smells like cherry tomato… Mm, this is clearly cherry tomatoes, but when did the Immortal Realm produce liquid cherry tomatoes?”

Luo Qian smiled proudly. “What do you think about the taste…”

Li Fei’er had already swallowed that small glass of cherry tomato juice in one gulp. How was the taste, did he still need to ask?

Luo Qian observed the hall downstairs and said, “Just watch. These people are about to go crazy.”

All of the guests had already arrived.

Du Lengning waved his hand. The shop assistants—dressed in white tops, white hats, and long black pants like western waiters—walked out awkwardly with the trays.

From above, Luo Qian saw that some were striding with their toes pointing outward. Some idle left hands were swinging casually; there was even a person whose hat was crooked.

Li Fei’er said with a red face, “I taught them according to what you instructed me, but there was too little time. They can’t remember everything.”

Luo Qian waved his hand. Forget it. My cocktail-party-style opening ceremony is considered ruined.

In almost every person’s hand was a transparent crystal glass. Everyone present had never seen the liquid in the glasses before. For a time, nobody knew what it was for exactly. A considerable number of people raised their wine glasses to the light. The cast projection made their faces red and green.

Du Lengning raised his glass. “Thank you, everyone, for coming!” He then downed his drink.

Oh, it turns out it’s for drinking! Everyone did not want to be taken to be a bumpkin. Hence, all of them copied Du Lengning’s actions and finished the drink in one gulp.

Silence! In an instant, it went from a din to silence, absolute silence.

Some people frowned while some people’s eyes widened. This was because everyone had yet to taste that liquid they’d gulped down carefully. That feeling had slid from the tip of their tongue and into their stomachs with a whoosh.

What feeling? Luscious, rich, intriguing, unreal…

Everyone was conquered by this strange feeling. They kept recalling it; it seemed like the taste of an Immortal fruit, but who had eaten Immortal fruit that was like this before?

The hall fell into tens of seconds of silence instantly. It was also Du Lengning’s first time drinking it. Luo Qian had only told him to take the lead in drinking. Hence, Du Lengning chose the most forthright execution method—if we’re good friends, bottoms up.

“Cough. That person, get me another glass.” Du Lengning called out to a shop assistant whose name he wasn’t too familiar with. Du Lengning held another glass and savored the drink, closing his eyes in contentment.

It turns out you can ask for more!

The guests immediately grabbed the shop assistants that were closest to them. Very quickly, the trays in the shop assistants’ hands were emptied. Yet, this still could not satisfy the guests because many of them had failed to get any!

Luo Qian saw that the vying below had gotten to the extent where people hugged their own arms with force to protect their own glasses. The eyes of those who did not get any began to turn red.

He shouted, “Oh, no. Quick, send everything out quickly!”

Li Fei’er guided with both hands. Streaks of white air currents wrapped around the prepared Immortal fruit juice and floated out.

Someone shouted out, “They’re above!” The crowd noticed the glasses floating down from above their heads. A brazen fellow then leaped into the air, grabbed one glass, and freely enjoyed it.

Generally, in such times, what was feared was someone taking the lead. With that man’s actions as an example, everyone no longer had any misgivings about their status. They began using their Immortal power to fight over a glass of Immortal juice…

In the hall, people were jumping up and down and dashing left and right. Various orders of Immortal powers, an assembly of secret skills and mortal skills… Everything became a big showplace…

The guests displayed their remarkable abilities; Luo Qian had an eye-opening experience. He could not help but gasp in admiration. “My opening ceremony is over…”

A Fourth-Order Immortal used his Fourth-Order secret skill, Wind Fire Dance, to pounce towards a glass. Seeing that he was about to seize that glass of Immortal fruit juice into his own arms, he was feeling quite pleased when a black figure unexpectedly pushed in horizontally, grabbed the glass, and left.

The Immortal raged. “First come, first serve. Do you have any social morality?”

The Immortal that seized the glass was clearly prepared. He brought out a tiny jade bottle, poured that huge glass of Immortal fruit juice into it, stuffed the opening, and tossed the glass back to him. “Back to you. Hahaha…”

The former Immortal was pissed and followed after him in hot pursuit.

There were also wise guests. One was seated alone by a traditional square table, an indistinct seal protecting him. He savored a glass of Immortal fruit juice by himself, clicking his tongue in enjoyment. If someone were to bump into the barrier accidentally, they would certainly be electrocuted by a ruthless electric current until all the hairs on their body were standing.

At this very moment, it was truly like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each trying to display their remarkable skill. Among the guests, a good number of people had outstanding powers. A lot of the Dharmic formulations and divine abilities were things that even Li Fei’er had never witnessed before, let alone Luo Qian.

The two stood upstairs and feasted their eyes.

Luo Qian seized the chance to say to Li Fei’er, “Do you see? The people downstairs all have higher cultivation levels than me, but they’re performing while I’m watching. So, this is what is most important.” He pointed to his own brain,

Li Fei’er was in a daze, but also felt that Luo Qian seemed to be making some sense. Then, should she slightly amend her previous criteria for a spouse?

Luo Medicine Hall rose to fame. If the Immortal Realm also had publications such as business bulletins and the like, their opening ceremony this time would certainly be chosen for two awards—Immortal Realm’s ‘Most Chaotic Opening Ceremony of The Year’ and ‘Most Explosive Opening Ceremony of The Year.’ Luo Medicine Hall would definitely also clinch the laurel of ‘Best Store In Ignoring Their Proper Occupation.’

Compared to Luo Medicine Hall’s cheap elixirs, the ‘mysterious potion’ drink that Luo Medicine Hall served their guests was clearly even more famous. It was so famous that Mountain Feng Tong’s medicine hall guild did not see Luo Medicine Hall as a strong competitor. Instead, the teahouse guild was extremely nervous. They secretly sent people to hack Luo Medicine Hall’s ‘mysterious potion’ so as to prevent Luo Medicine Hall from suddenly advancing into the teahouse industry and catching them by surprise.

Luo Qian had also never expected for there to be such a fiery outcome. Actually, it was merely getting a dozen juicers in the Fushan underground palace. When cheap Immortal fruit was sent in, delicious fruit juice flowed out. The advanced juicers filtering and automatic compound functions, making the texture of the fruit juices even smoother and more delicious.

Luo Qian sat on the second level of his own medicine hall, watching the snake-like queue that was waiting to collect the ‘mysterious potion.’ All of them held a Green Jade Elixir in their hand. He made up his mind to advance into the leisure drinks industry.

Teahouses of the Immortal Realm, the wolf is coming…
