Demons Beside You-Chapter 624 - Wine Worth One Hundred Million Dollars

Chen Zhao went straight into the River Map.

“Old Turtle, take out the oldest wine.”

Old Turtle looked at him. “The hundred-year wine? Even you probably can’t take it.”

Chen Zhao only used ten-year brews now.

Wine that was put here for ten days were basically all ten-year brews.

For regular people, ten-year brews could make one shed tears.

But it wasn’t very effective for people with magic.

Last time, Chen Zhao took a sip of a 50-year brew and slept for 20 full days in the River Map.

Regular people didn’t have to drink it. They could get drunk with just a whiff.

As for the hundred-year brew, Chen Zhao wasn’t sure what would happen if a regular person took a sip.

They wouldn’t die though. Plus, the Spiritual Qi in the wine was very beneficial for the body.

Old Turtle took out a bottle of hundred-year brew and placed it before him.

Chen Zhao didn’t even drink it. Just smelling the fragrance made him feel like he was floating.

It wasn’t like getting drunk. He felt truly awake and clear-headed.

The moment he opened the lid, the fragrance poured out like a fountain.

Chen Zhao grew dizzy and fell to the ground, asleep.

“Hey, wake up.”

After a while, Chen Zhao was woken up by Old Turtle.”

“How long did I sleep for? How many days?”

“If you want to sleep, go outside,” Old Turtle said. “Don’t sleep here.”

Chen Zhao pursed his lips. After waking up, he felt refreshed but also like he didn’t sleep enough.

If Old Turtle hadn’t woken him up, he could probably sleep for another month.

“Old Turtle, put in a drop of this.” Chen Zhao took out a few drops of the Spring of Youth and placed it on the lid. Then he ran 100 meters away so he wouldn’t get affected by the wine again.

“Do you have to run so far away?” Old Turtle looked at the Spring of Youth on the lid. “Hey, this combined the essence of the mountain and shine of the sun and moon. It’s quite a nice treasure.”

With that, the Old Turtle opened the hundred-year wine.

Even though Chen Zhao was 100 meters away, he could still smell the heavy fragrance. He started getting dizzy and had to run back some more.

But after Old Turtle added in the Spring of Youth, a gust of almost-tangible Spiritual Qi poured out.

“Great wine, great wine.” Old Turtle poured the wine into his mouth.

Chen Zhao was in pain. That was the Spring of Youth.

He’d already used up a lot and only one-third was left. Old Turtle drank it all in one gulp.

He smacked his lips. “This wine is indeed incredible, but a mortal can’t drink it.”

“What will happen if they do?”

“Their spirit will be washed clean by the Spiritual Qi and become an empty shell.”

Chen Zhao was shocked. “That serious?”

“Yeah. What did you pour in earlier?”

“Spring of Youth.”

“The Spring of Youth is quite effective, but you can’t mix it with hundred-year wine,” Old Turtle said. “Even you can’t drink it, let alone regular people.”

“Then what can I do if I want to improve the wine’s quality but still have regular people accept it?”

“Easy.” Old Turtle took out another internal alchemy stone.

He didn’t know how many house-sized internal alchemies he actually had.

He scraped the thing, creating a layer of powder. He mixed it into the wine and shook it.

“Now, add another drop of Spring of Youth.” Old Turtle added in a drop. “Done.”

“That’s it?”

“What more do you want?” Old Turtle rolled his eyes. “This wine is the best thing in the world for most people who are in a slump. If you use it often, it can nourish your body. You won’t age and a regular person’s ailments will all disappear. There are no side effects other than sleeping for three days and nights.”

Chen Zhao took a sip of the hundred-year wine. He started swaying, but it didn’t hit as hard as the wine earlier.

The wine was quite intense, but it was still acceptable.

“Why did it weaken after you put in the internal alchemy stone?”

“The Spiritual Qi in the wine was absorbed by my internal alchemy stone, so it won’t affect the body. After you drink it, the internal alchemy powder will nourish your body, so it’s like magical wine to regular people.”

Old Turtle got a segment of purple bamboo and poured all the wine into it.

“Purple bamboo can repel demons. It’s also a treasure.”

Chen Zhao felt that this was enough.

To be honest, he hoped it could sell, even though he knew that it was impossible and just a daydream.

Suddenly, Chen Zhao had an idea. “How about we call it Daydream?”

“Not bad, quite interesting.”

Old Turtle’s finger moved and he carved some ancient-looking words onto the bamboo: Purple Bamboo, Daydream.

…

After exiting the River Map, Chen Zhao called Winnip.

“Winnip, have Karim, Kane, and Howard come to L.A. and take the wine I made back.”

Chen Zhao didn’t dare to ship the wine to Sacramento. If anything happened along the way, he would cry.

“Is there something special about it?”

“It’s good for your health,” Chen Zhao answered simply.

He didn’t dare to tell Winnip directly. If Winnip herself was tempted and wanted it, Chen Zhao wouldn’t be able to supply her.

After all, it contained the Spring of Youth.

“Okay, I’ll have them three go to L.A.”

After Chen Zhao hung up, West came to his house without warning again.

Chen Zhao came out of the door. “How come you’re here again?”

“President, we’ve decided on a location for the new office for the Supernatural Organization. Please come take a look.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

Chen Zhao got into West’s car and he drove Chen Zhao to the suburbs.

“It’s this far from the city?”

“President, we have more than 100 evil spirits now. It’s inconvenient to stay in the city.”

“Okay, that makes sense.”

After driving for more than an hour, a forest appeared.

Chen Zhao frowned. “This far?”

“We’re almost there.”

As soon as he spoke, Chen Zhao saw a huge gray building deep within the woods.

The building looked quite old. It was like the foreign buildings in Shanghai from the 1920s or 30s.

“President, this is our office from now on. What do you think?”

“How much is the rent?”

“Rent? President, I bought this place.”
