Chapter 585: Hero of the Dwarf Tribe

“I am Bilgeer, and I indeed brewed the flying immortal wine, but the name flying immortal wine was given by a Golden Immortal elder from the upper tribe named Li Bai,” Bilgeer excitedly yet respectfully replied to Li Qiongying.

“Then that makes sense; Li Bai is an elder of my Human Race,” Li Qiongying nodded.

“Do you happen to have any flying immortal wine here? May I have a taste?” Li Qiongying inquired of Bilgeer.

“Yes, I still have some flying immortal wine,” Bilgeer quickly nodded.

“Milady and Your Majesty, please follow me.”

Bilgeer then led Li Qiongying and her companions to his brewing room.

Before long, Bilgeer took them to a small brewing workshop.

“I didn’t expect the master brewer’s brewing place to be so humble. Hou Duoji, immediately gather people to build the largest brewing workshop near the Holy Spring. Acquire all kinds of brewing equipment as quickly as possible—the faster, the better,” the Dwarf King commanded to one of his subordinates.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” the subordinate promptly replied and went off to fulfill the order.

While the Dwarf King was speaking with his subordinate, Master Brewer Bilgeer approached with two wooden cups in hand.

“Milady and Your Majesty, please enjoy the flying immortal wine I brewed,” Bilgeer said with a hint of excitement in his voice.

Hearing this, the Dwarf King quickly urged Li Qiongying, “Milady, please go ahead.”

Li Qiongying did not hold back; she took a cup, looked at the clear wine inside, and then took a sip.

As the taste touched her tongue, Li Qiongying’s eyes immediately brightened.

“Not bad, very good.”

Even she had to praise the flavor of this flying immortal wine.

The Dwarf King also took a cup and had a sip, and in that moment, he understood why this flying immortal wine could catch the attention of the elders of the Human Race.

After drinking this flying immortal wine, the Dwarf King felt as if all the wine he had previously consumed had been a waste.

“Master Bilgeer, how much flying immortal wine do you have left? I would like to buy all of it as a gift for the envoy,” the Dwarf King asked Bilgeer.

Upon hearing this, Bilgeer quickly responded, “Your Majesty, I still have six and a half jars of flying immortal wine.”

“Good, I will buy them all. Six jars for the envoy, and you may keep the remaining half jar. What is the price for each jar?” the Dwarf King inquired.

“Your Majesty, each jar costs one hundred low-grade immortal essence stones; you can pay me at cost,” Bilgeer replied to the Dwarf King.

“What? Only one hundred low-grade immortal essence stones?” Upon hearing Bilgeer’s words, the Dwarf King was shocked.

“Your Majesty, this is primarily because while the flying immortal wine tastes great, it’s just an ordinary spirit wine, not an immortal wine,” Bilgeer explained to the Dwarf King.

“That makes sense,” the Dwarf King realized after hearing Bilgeer’s explanation.

Since it was not immortal wine, it didn’t require rare spiritual items for brewing.

Compared to spiritual items, ordinary items were much cheaper.

Even the finest spiritual items could not compare to the cheapest spiritual items.

Thinking that the cost of brewing flying immortal wine was only one hundred low-grade immortal essence stones, and that by supplying ten thousand jars of flying immortal wine each year to the upper tribe, they could be exempt from taxes, the Dwarf King became quite excited.

“You are remarkable, truly remarkable, Master Bilgeer! You will become the greatest master brewer of my Dwarf Tribe, and I will grant you the highest position and prestige among master brewers. I will also bestow upon you the title of Count…” The Dwarf King excitedly patted Bilgeer’s shoulder as he spoke.

Hearing the Dwarf King’s words, Bilgeer almost jumped up with joy.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you very much…” Bilgeer quickly bowed his head to the Dwarf King.

“Master Bilgeer, there’s no need for that. You are a hero of my Dwarf Tribe; you don’t need to do this,” the Dwarf King quickly stopped Bilgeer.

Then, the Dwarf King turned to one of his subordinates and ordered, “Bring me ten million low-grade immortal essence stones. I want to reward Master Bilgeer for his tremendous contributions to my Dwarf Tribe.”

Upon hearing this, Bilgeer hurriedly expressed his gratitude, “Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty.”

Soon, the Dwarf King presented Bilgeer with a space ring, which contained ten million low-grade immortal essence stones.

After that, the Dwarf King invited Bilgeer, saying, “Master Bilgeer, please come with me. I will build the largest brewing workshop beside the Holy Spring and invite you to be the chief brewer of the kingdom.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty. Bilgeer humbly accepts…”

Before long, the Dwarf King and Li Qiongying returned to the Dwarf King’s palace.

“Dwarf King, will you provide my Human Race with ten thousand jars of flying immortal wine each year, and the excess will be purchased by my Human Race at ten thousand low-grade immortal essence stones per jar? Is that acceptable?” Li Qiongying asked the Dwarf King.

“Milady, there is no problem. Let’s proceed at this price,” the Dwarf King quickly nodded.

Li Qiongying suggested the price of ten thousand low-grade immortal essence stones per jar mainly because it was Jiang Luo Qiu’s idea.

Earlier, Li Qiongying had informed Jiang Luo Qiu about the cost of flying immortal wine, and Jiang Luo Qiu then set the price at ten thousand low-grade immortal essence stones per jar.

The reason for setting the price at a hundred times the cost was that Jiang Luo Qiu could easily sell this wine to Other Races for one hundred thousand or even one million per jar.

If at that time Jiang Luo Qiu sold the flying immortal wine for such high prices while buying it at a low price from the Dwarf Tribe without allowing them to sell themselves, that would be quite an ugly profit.

Thus, ten thousand low-grade immortal essence stones per jar was a reasonable price that allowed the Dwarf Tribe to earn money while also benefiting the Human Race—a win-win outcome.

Although flying immortal wine is spirit wine and not immortal wine, the brewing process is still quite complicated.

Some ingredients need to be brewed and fermented for several years.

Therefore, the Human Race and Dwarf Tribe agreed that the delivery of flying immortal wine would begin five years later.

Due to this agreement about using the wine to offset taxes, Bilgeer, who brewed the flying immortal wine, became the hero of the entire Dwarf Tribe.

Countless members of the Dwarf Tribe wanted to taste the flying immortal wine, which was so valued by the upper tribes, but because Bilgeer had previously produced too little brewing material, he could not brew much flying immortal wine.

Even if he managed to brew some, it was given by the Dwarf King to the Human Race since Li Bai had already reserved all the wine.

…

“Dad, I’ve obtained a good wine again, and I named it flying immortal wine. It ranks third among my wines. I have sent some to you; please give it a try.”

That day, Li Bai transmitted several jars of wine to Li Xiaojun, saying.

Hearing Li Bai’s words, Li Xiaojun became quite curious.

Li Bai loved wine and always shared a lot whenever he acquired good ones.

As a result, he now had nearly ten million jars of fine wine in his system space.

“Alright, let me taste what it’s like.”

Li Xiaojun took out a jar of flying immortal wine and tasted it, discovering…
