The Immortal's Wine Store Chapter 126
Advertisement
"Looking at your talents, you can indeed reach at least the 7th-rank Emperor realm." Jiu Shen calmly said as he studied the four young ladies in front of him. However, he was somewhat disappointed since none of them had a supreme physique.
'I've thought too much... A supreme physique is already so rare in the Primordial God Realm, so how can it be so easy to find someone with a supreme physique here? Perhaps Lu Sulan and Can Ye are the only persons with the supreme physique in the whole of Nuar... However, these ladies can still be molded into elites. As long as I teach them my sword techniques and a few Mythic level cultivation techniques, then even if their talents are worth crap, their cultivation would still advance by leaps and bounds.' Jiu Shen thought deeply to himself.
After they heard Jiu Shen's words, the four young women couldn't help but smile. A cultivator at the 7th-rank Emperor realm was already very strong in their eyes, so when they heard from Jiu Shen that they had the potential to be one, they felt happy and excited. Only Lu Sulan was frowning when she heard her master's words. She was no longer the same ignorant woman she had once been, and after receiving Jiu Shen's guidance for quite some time, she had realized that her present cultivation was minuscule in her master's eyes.
"Master..." Lu Sulan wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in her throat when she saw Jiu Shen raising his right arm while looking at her.
"Sulan, I already know why you brought them here. Since my disciple wants me to help them, so how can I disappoint you?" Jiu Shen smiled gently at Lu Sulan before he glanced at Xiao Hua and the others.
"From now on, the four of you will work for me, but don't worry, you won't be working here for free. As long as you do your jobs well, then you will certainly get something in return." Jiu Shen's voice was calm and unhurried, but his words surprised the four. They thought that their master called for them to do a mission, but to think that they will be working in a wine store... They found it a bit too bizarre, but they didn't dare disobey their sect mistress.
"What are the four of you standing there for. Hurry up and thank master!" Lu Sulan berated them lightly, but the look in her eyes betrayed her excitement. With Jiu Shen's teachings, Xiao Hua and the others will surely achieve more in the future.
Xiao Hua slapped her friends' bottoms, which instantly awakened them from their stupor.
"We thank grandmaster's grace." The four said in unison as they bowed their heads respectfully.

Jiu Shen's hands which were rubbing Ice's fur froze all of sudden. 'Grandmaster? Do I really look that old? Well... I don't even know how old I am...'
"Just call me Wine Master Jiu like how the others call me." He said to the four with an indifferent look. He then glanced at Lu Sulan and said. "Sulan, bring them to Hestia and tell her to teach them how to serve our customers properly."
Lu Sulan bowed and replied in a respectful voice. "Yes, master."
After that, Lu Sulan brought the four to where Hestia was at.
Jiu Shen smiled as he looked at their figures. With their presence, the workload of Hestia and Lu Sulan will be lightened down considerably. They just have to be trained properly and they also didn't have to worry about the customers bullying them since there was this valiant blonde beauty standing guard on the store's first floor, not to mention the unfathomable Ren Shuang who was upstairs...
Jiu Shen leaned on his chair and was about to close his eyes when he sensed the familiar aura of someone. He used his spiritual power to peer on the incoming figure and smiled lightly after seeing who it was. Just right outside his store was the one-armed barbarian who had helped them fight off against the countless experts yesterday. Although his help was unnecessary, Jiu Shen still had a good impression of this rough and ferocious-looking man. Who could it be other than Hu Xiandao?
Just then, Jiu Shen's eyes narrowed when he saw that there were two old men just right behind Hu Xiandao's group. He was familiar with the other old man, Master Fengzi of the Alchemy Hall, but the old man beside him, Jiu Shen had no idea who it was. "This old man's spiritual power is at the 9th-rank and he smells like he had just concocted a 9th-rank pill some time ago. Could he be..." Jiu Shen muttered to himself.
"Hahaha! To think that there are so many changes in the store in just one night!" Hu Xiandao's loud laughter reverberated inside the store, but when he felt a cold stare nearby, he immediately turned his head in alarm.
Theia with an indifferent expression on her face was staring at Hu Xiandao with a cold look. The latter instantly shut his mouth when he saw this lady. After seeing how she had killed numerous experts yesterday, Hu Xiandao developed a strong sense of fear towards her. He didn't dare behave wildly anymore and just went to look for Lu Sulan.
Since the Earth Origin Dragon Tree can no longer be taken, Hu Xiandao will return to the Mythos Wildlands and report everything to the elders and the chieftain, so he was here to bid goodbye to Lu Sulan.

"Sect Mistress Lu, our mission here is already done, so we have to go back to the Mythos Wildlands right away and report everything that happened to the elders and the chieftain." Hu Xiandao said as he looked at Lu Sulan with his most gentle smile, but because of his ferocious face, his smile looked unsightly and appalling to behold.
Lu Sulan chuckled when she saw his expression. She knew that this guy was terrible at smiling and would instead scare people if he did so.
"In that case, Lord Hu should drink the store's wine and also eat the Deep-fried Shrimp Tempura before he leaves. Don't worry, everything is on me." Lu Sulan smiled gently.
Hu Xiandao scratched the back of his head and put on an embarrassed expression. "Sect Mistress Lu, I-"
"Lord Hu, please don't decline me. This is just my token of appreciation for helping us yesterday." Lu Sulan smiled at the big guy.
"If that's the case, we will stay for a bit and enjoy the wine and food here before we depart." Hu Xiandao found a seat for his group and glanced at the new design of the store in awe.
Jiu Shen smirked when he saw the simple look of Hu Xiandao. He then called Lu Sulan through sound transmission and told her to come to him for a moment.
Not long later, Lu Sulan arrived with Xiao Hua and the other three young ladies following behind her. The four young women were holding the orders of Hu Xiandao's group.
"Go bring these to the gentlemen right there. Make sure to be polite, okay?" Lu Sulan told the four.
"Yes, Sect Mistress Lu." The four replied in unison before they went towards where Hu Xiandao and his group were seated.
"Master, what can I do for you?" Lu Sulan suddenly recalled the embarrassing event last night when she had just awakened her supreme physique. Her face blushed as she looked at Jiu Shen's handsome face.
Jiu Shen ignored her ambiguous look and took out something from his space earring. It was a pill that emitted a dense amount of life energy. Even Lu Sulan felt that it was definitely precious just from the life energy it contained.
"Master this is..." Lu Sulan muttered as she studied the pill in her hand.
"That's an Immortal level pill, the Body Reforming Heaven Pill. It can regrow severed limbs and also enhances the physical body of whoever consumes it. Tell Hu Xiandao to come back here after he finishes his report to the Mythos Wildlands..." Jiu Shen calmly said as if he was merely passing on a random pill. He was also aware that two old men were standing just right behind Lu Sulan with dumbstruck looks on their faces. They were looking at the pill in Lu Sulan's hands with shining eyes.
"Master, do you intend to take Hu Xiandao as your disciple?" Lu Sulan asked with a surprised look. This was an Immortal level pill after all! And she knew that Jiu Shen wouldn't give it out randomly for no reason.
Jiu Shen shook his head and waved his right hand. "No. Just give it to him and tell him to come back as soon as possible. I've plans for him..."
Lu Sulan no longer asked after seeing the look on his face. She bowed her head at Jiu Shen before she went towards Hu Xiandao excitedly. She didn't even bother glancing at the two old men who were standing there behind her like wooden statues.
Jiu Shen glanced at the two with a tranquil look. "I would assume that you're Alchemy Hall's supreme elder. I wonder what's your reason for visiting my store?"
His indifferent voice made the two old men break away from their stupor.
Master Fengzi wanted to speak but he was stopped by the old man beside him. "For Wine Master Jiu to guess my identity with just one glance, I can tell that your eyes are truly piercing. This old man is indeed the supreme elder of the Alchemy Hall, but you can just call me Qi Hongtian." Qi Hongtian, the supreme elder of the Alchemy Hall smiled and cupped his fists at Jiu Shen. He had seen how he casually gave such a precious pill to someone, so he didn't dare take advantage of his seniority. That was an Immortal Pill! A pill that can only be concocted by Nascent God Realm experts! Although he wasn't sure if it was really an Immortal Pill, but the energy it contained was definitely more than what 9th-rank Pills have, so he was 70% sure that it was the Immortal Pill of the legends!
Seeing Jiu Shen's silence, Qi Hongtian immediately asked with a curious voice. "Wine Master Jiu, that pill... Was it concocted by your esteemed self?"
Jiu Shen was silent for a moment before he replied in a calm voice. "Indeed..."
His reply was already expected by the two old men, but they were still surprised. After all, it was an Immortal Pill, and one needs to have the spiritual power of a Nascent God to refine such a high-level pill. Furthermore, the ingredients needed in refining the pill were definitely precious.
With a fanatical look, Qi Hongtian grabbed Jiu Shen's arms stunning the latter greatly. Heck!
"Please take me as your disciple!"
Jiu Shen gently waved his right arm, making Qi Hongtian retreat several steps backward.
"You're not qualified."

Primacy Online
Life on Earth was nearly eradicated in World War III, but using alien technology, the Patriarch of the Church of the Resurrection built a new society from the ashes. He created what he called the Constructed Reality MMORPG, Primacy Online, a world so real that the players could not distinguish it from reality. After outlawing wars between the city-states on Earth, he declared that all wars would be fought inside the world of Primacy Online. Thirteen hundred years later, the release of Primacy Online VI: Legacy of Balor signals the beginning of World War IX. Players from Earth's city-states will be locked in cryogenic capsules and play Primacy Online in War Mode. Their achievements in the game will determine the victory rankings of their city-states, but if they die in the game, they will die for real. Patrick Armagh found flaws in the game mechanics of Primacy Online and exploited them to rise to the peak of the game. But when the Church declared he was cheating, he was perma-banned from the game. Now, the Church has declared that Patrick and all the other perma-banned cheaters will be included in a special Church group for World War IX, where they can earn redemption for their sin of cheating. However, Morgan Danan, Speaker of the City of Mann, and the generally acknowledged number one player of Primacy Online, has a deal for Patrick. With her help and his method of cheating, he has the chance to become a virtual god within Primacy Online, but by taking up her offer, he will become an enemy of the Church. Like a significant percentage of Primacy Online players, Patrick suffers from an ultimately fatal, degenerative nervous system disorder. He has less than five years to live. With death staring him in the face and nothing to live for, he accepts Morgan Danan's offer, and once again, enters Primacy Online as Crom Cruach, a disgraced legend. Will Crom Cruach, once again, become a legend, or will he be destroyed by the Church? What secrets has the Church hidden inside the game?
