The business of the beverage store was booming. Xu Muan and Xiao Jingting developed several new products and put them into the store.
All the crops planted in Xiao Jingting’s fields were made into finished products and sent to the beverage shop. As Xiao Jingting counted the silver bills, his eyes were shining brightly.
“A total of thirty-two thousand taels, what a great profit!” After deducting the cost and Xiao Jinfeng’s twenty percent dividend, there was still thirty-two thousand taels left, which was really good.
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jingting and said, “Pay back the debt, and buy some more spiritual jade.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “That’s right! Also, let’s buy another space ring.”
Xu Muan was a little puzzled, “Why do you like space rings so much?”
Xiao Jingting shrugged and said, “That is a dream that many people can’t reach throughout their lives.”
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jingting’s appearance, and immediately understood. These ‘many people‘ he was talking about were from other world?” Then buy one, it will be easier to deliver.”
“The spiritual jade is of little use now. Do you think there are other things?” Xiao Jingting asked.
Xu Muan thought for a while and said, “There are good and bad quality spiritual jade. The ones we came across before were of poorer quality. Aside from this quality of spiritual jade, the price of middle grade spiritual jade is between 500 and 600 taels of silver, the price of top-grade spiritual jade is one thousand taels. There is also a kind of resource called spiritual stone on top of spiritual jade. But spiritual stone only circulates in big cities. There are relatively few here and the worst quality spiritual stone should cost ten thousand taels of silver.”
Xiao Jingting, “…”
“Let’s earn money first. Without silver, everything is useless,” Xiao Jingting said.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “All right.”
“With the silver, first buy a batch of top-quality spirit jade,” Xiao Jingting said.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “OK, by the way, how is the sparrow orchid in the space?”
Xiao Jingting shook his head and said, “It has finally sprouted, but it will still take a long time for them to grow.”
Xu Muan let out a sigh of relief and said, “As long as they can sprout, it will take a long time to reach the peak of the fifth level of Qi Practice anyway.”
“Not really.” Xiao Jingting shook his head. If he cultivated to the fifth level of Qi Practice just by relying on meditation every day, he wouldn’t be able to feel the rising aura. But even he, who relied on spiritual spring water to nourish himself every day, could feel only limited increase in aura. No wonder Xiao Qingyan had been at fifth level of Qi Practice for the past 5 or 6 years.

Sun Miaoyin looked at the beverage store across the street from a distance and said, “Is this the one?”
“Yes, Miss, this is the one. Look at the two children collecting money. The older one is very smart and never made any mistakes. The smaller one is not very bright, but is very strong,” The maid said.
Sun Miaoyin squinted slightly. He was not very bright – was a nice way to put it. According to her sister, Xiao Jingting’s youngest son was born with a high fever and became a fool!
“Such a shop can make a profit of 5000 taels a day?” Sun Miaoyin was a little surprised.
The maid nodded, “Yes, the spiritual wine on sale is limited to six bottles per day, five hundred taels of silver per bottle, this is already three thousand taels, plus the money for cold drinks. About 5000 taels more or less. It is said that some high-end new drinks have been produced in the store recently and a cup costs three or four taels of silver but many people still buy it.”
“It’s so expensive and there are still people buying it?” Sun Miaoyin asked.
“Yes! The spiritual fruit squeezed to make fruit juice is of a higher grade, and it contains spiritual energy, which not only tastes good, but can improve one’s cultivation. However, the spiritual energy contained in it is also limited, it is only useful to some children who just started cultivating. I heard that all ingredients are grown by Xiao Jingting,” The maid said.
Sun Miaoyin nodded and said, “Really? Let’s go.”
“Hello, what can I get for you?” Xiao Xiaofan asked.
“Six bottles of spiritual wine,” Sun Miaoyin said.
Xiao Xiaofan tilted his head, looked towards Sun Miaoyin seriously and said, “There aren’t six bottles left. Three bottles have already been bought, only three left.”
“Then three bottles,” Sun Miaoyin said.
Xiao Xiaofan opened his throat and shouted, “Second Uncle, Second Uncle, big customers come to buy the wine!”
“Idiot!” Xiao Xiaodong yelled.
Xiao Xiaofan sulked, “Elder brother really hates me. He scolded me again.”
Xiao Jinfeng came out with a smile and said, “The big customer is here! Let me see.” When Xiao Jinfeng saw Sun Miaoyin on the other side of the counter, his expression changed quickly, “Miss Sun! Wine, right? Three bottles of spiritual wine costs 1,500 taels of silver.”
Xiao Xiaodong glanced towards Sun Miaoyin and said indifferently, “1,500 taels of silver.”
Sun Miaoyin’s face tensed as she took out the silver notes and gave it to Xiao Xiaodong.
Xiao Jinfeng took the wine and gave it to Sun Miaoyin, without saying anything more to Sun Miaoyin, he went to work on other things.
Sun Miaoyin’s face darkened as she watched Xiao Jinfeng leaving.
“Oh my, the big customer has left. Brother, you didn’t even give her a VIP card to come again next time,” Xiao Xiaofan muttered.
“It will not be given to her,” Xiao Xiaodong said.
Xiao Xiaofan was puzzled, “Why not?”
“I said don’t give it to her, so don’t give it to her. There’s no reason.” Xiao Xiaodong held his head high.
Xiao Xiaofan flattened his mouth and said, “Brother is really overbearing.”
Xiao Xiaodong snorted lightly and said, “You are an innocent little kid, you don’t understand.”
After a while, Xiao Jinfeng came out. Xiao Xiaodong took out the silver notes and said “Second uncle, this is the bank note given by the woman just now.” Xiao Xiaodong was afraid of losing money, so he would give it to Xiao Jinfeng every once in a while.
“Today’s sales are good.” Xiao Jinfeng said.
“The sales in the last few days have been very good! When I earn more money, I’ll ask dad to buy me a pony that can fly,” Xiao Xiaofan said.
Xiao Xiaodong snorted and said, “Just spend money recklessly.”
“Brother, don’t discourage me all the time! If you keep being a wet blanket, once I get the pony, I will not let you ride it,” Xiao Xiaofan threatened.
Xiao Xiaodong, “…”
