Chapter 96 - 96: Are You Serious? Wheat Wine?
Spirit Beast Assembly is a gathering place of beasts where spiritual beasts with various levels of cultivation gather for trade.
Here one can find various types of treasures and spiritual herbs that are rare and precious.
But the limitation of this place is that only people with a certain cultivation base can qualify to participate in this trade.
The minimum cultivation level for entry is Core Formation Realm. They can bring two people along with them but they have to take responsibility for the additional members.
The gathering happens once every month and the location for the gathering is Garon Mountain located in the northeastern part of Dream Maple Forest.
The wine he is going to bring out today is purchased from that place for a high price. Speaking about the Wine the Old Alpaca spat out saliva everywhere and his face was filled with pride.
"At that time many people were competing with me to purchase that wine. But in the end, I paid a huge price and successfully purchased the wine." The Old Alpaca spoke proudly but when he mentioned the price his face was bitter. It looks like he paid a huge price to purchase the wine.
"You should be happy that I am taking out that wine. Umm, that wine has a silky and smooth texture. Sometimes it would taste like sweet honey and sometimes it would taste like crunchy berry." The old Alpaca started describing the taste of the wine.[AN: Crunchy Berries are types of berries that are sour. This exists in the fantasy world.]
Hearing his description except for Robert everyone had a drool at the corner of their mouth and their eyes were filled with desire. They wanted to try this Wine.
It was Robert who was speechless. 'Old man are you sure that you are not describing some immortal wine?'
In his previous life, although he was not a drinker, he has tasted many types of beer and wines on several occasions.
All of them had their advantages but none of them made him describe it like Old Alpaca. Even though he thought like this, he is very interested in the Wine in Old Alpacas' mouth.
Who knows that he is telling the truth? And what if the wine is the same as he described!
Thinking of this he also became a little greedy.
Soon they came near the plain where the Alpacas graze the grass. At this moment many alpacas were limping on the ground with blue and purple faces.
They were beaten by the Old Chief for not taking care of the Young chief. They were not angry by his beating instead they were remorseful of their neglected work which caused the Young Chief to get kidnapped.
Hearing the noise they looked up and saw Old Chief walking with Robert and others. Seeing him everyone shivered as they got up in incision ready to endure another beating.
At this time they noticed another person on Old Chiefs back. They looked carefully and realised that it was the Young Chief who was kidnapped.
"Young Chief, you are safe!" They shouted in unison, scaring Robert and others. Robert once again reevaluated Yota's rallying power inside the Golden Alpaca tribe.
His prestige is quite high…
"As you can see Yota is safe and sound. He was saved by this person so we are holding a banquet today, you guys go and do preparation." The Old Alpaca looked at everyone and said. After saying this he added, "Also heal your injuries."
Saying this he took Robert and others towards the Wheat Field.
Everyone looked at Robert and remembered his appearance. They must thank him properly at tonight's banquet.
"So that's the person who saved Young Chief."
"Yaa! I can't see through his cultivation so he must be quite capable."
"Umm, you are just a Qi Realm scum, you have no qualifications to judge others' cultivation."
"Huh? Are you looking for a fight? Don't forget that I have higher cultivation than you."
"Humph who is afraid of you. Your cultivation is just a little higher than mine."
"Then let's fight!"
So another brawl broke out as these groups of Alpacas started spraying saliva on each other. This is their method to determine who is stronger.
In analogy, it can be called a Friendly Match.
….
Robert didn't know about the friendly match that was happening behind. At this time he was near the Wheat Field.
Looking at the Wheat Field, Roberts ' mouth twitched.
A small part of the Wheat Field appeared bald as Wheat has been plucked out. Looking at the ground he can see traces of soil being dugout.
He glanced at Celli and Snowball from the corner of his eyes as saw Celli's embarrassed face and Snowball's face filled with pride.
He understands that this is the idea of Snowball...
"That thief was too cruel. He not only took the plants but even dug up the soil." The Old Alpaca grumbled as he looked at the bald field.
"Just looking at this makes me angry." The Old Alpaca said as he brought Robert and others toward another mountain behind the Wheat Field.
Robert did not comment as he knew the thief who did this. He is the mastermind.
Following the Old Alpaca, they arrived near the Mountain in the back.
This mountain is filled with caves as some Alpacas we're coming and going inside.
This should be their residence. Robert thought to himself. He remembered that most of the beats live inside the cave. He lives in the cave but that will change as he had built a house.
All of them climbed up the mountain as they arrived at the Cave that was located at the top of the mountain.
"This is my residence. Come inside! Don't be shy! Wait for a second, I will let you taste my precious Wine." The Old Alpaca said as she walked deep inside the cave with an excited look.
Soon he came out with a wooden barrel along with some wooden bowls.
"Come here! This is the wine I purchased for a high price. It cost me a lot but it's worth it as I have never drunk something like this." The Old Alpaca placed the wooden barrel on the ground. He never stopped praising the Wine, making others more curious about it.
Robert sniffed his nose and sensed a light sulfuric smell. After the old man opened the lid of the wooden barrel a heavy alcohol smell hit his face as he saw the content inside the barrel.
He saw a rich amber coloured solution inside the barrel and it was accompanied by a reddish highlight.
Seeing the Wine and looking at Old Alpacas intoxicated face Robert has a weird expression as he looks at the wine suspiciously.
Why does this wine in the barrel have the smell and appearance of Wheat Wine?
