Burlock wanted to say a few more words, but upon thinking a bit more, he decided to shut up. Since Jiu Shen could utter such confident words, then what else is there to say?

"Master, where are you planning to go?" Meimei asked fearlessly.

​​

Xiaoxiao, Blue, and Burlock perked their ears when they heard Meimei's question. They also wanted to find out where Jiu Shen was going.

Jiu Shen raised his hand and flicked Meimei's forehead. "Just in the outskirts of Morlon City to pluck an Origin-rank spiritual plant." He said carelessly.

"Pluck an Origin-rank spiritual plant?!" Burlock exclaimed as he stared at Jiu Shen with an agitated look.

"Wine Master Jiu, I don't want to impose on you, but Origin-rank spiritual plants already have their own spirit and consciousness. Getting one of them would be difficult without the necessary tools and plucking method. Each spiritual plant has different kinds of attributes and one would need an extensive amount of knowledge to get them without damaging them. As for Origin-rank spiritual plants, they are even harder to get because they already have formed their own consciousness, making them behave like savage beasts." Burlock said with a wry expression.

Jiu Shen stared at Burlock for a good two seconds before he muttered. "I didn't think that someone like you who looks like an idiot actually knows a bit about the behavior of spiritual plants. It seems like I have underestimated you, Burlock."

Jiu Shen has lived for an innumerable number of years and it goes without question that he knows about the behavior of spiritual plants. And just like Burlock has said, when a spiritual plant reaches the Origin-rank, they would start to form their own consciousness, making them much more difficult to get. However, this wasn't a problem for Jiu Shen.

Burlock's face twitched when he heard Jiu Shen's words. Looking at the young man's uncaring expression, it seems like his words were unneeded. "It looks like Wine Master Jiu has great knowledge about spiritual plants." Burlock said with an embarrassed smile.

Jiu Shen thought for a moment before he replied in a calm tone. "Just so-so."

"Alright. Enough chitchat. I will leave the store to the four of you. By the way, if a dark-skinned human comes here, protect him." Jiu Shen said to the four before he went out of the store with his hands behind his back.

Looking at Jiu Shen's figure, Burlock could not help but whisper. "Would he be alright? That's an Origin-rank spiritual plant after all..."

Meimei glanced at him in disdain and said sternly. "Hmph! What do you know? Others might find it hard to get a spiritual plant at that level, but if the master makes his move, nothing is impossible."

Hearing that, Burlock could only shake his head. He was still skeptical about it. He had tried getting a spiritual plant at that level, but he failed. Some of his subordinates even died during that expedition. Starting then, he no longer dared to get Origin-rank spiritual plants.

***

In a small hut atop a tall mountain, the eyes of an old man who was cultivating suddenly opened. He used his spiritual perception and discovered four figures coming towards his humble abode.

"What are those four doing here?" He muttered when he sensed the arrival of the four individuals. This old man was none other than Demon Ancestor Jun, the strongest demon in Morlon City, an expert at the Origin God Realm!

Outside the small hut, the figures of the four Demon Lords, Zagan, Zorzoch, Physoris, and Azgonoth can be seen. They were wearing solemn expressions as they walked towards the small hut. After coming closer to the humble abode, they kneeled respectfully as they greeted.

"We greet the Demon Ancestor!"

The four of them glanced at each other and all eyes gathered on the giant Zagan. He mustered his courage and raised his head as he said. "Lord Demon Ancestor, your subordinates have come to convey a piece of important information. It may be beneficial to our Morlon City, so we immediately ascended this peak to inform you about it."

Zagan was definitely good with his words, and when Demon Ancestor Jun heard about it, the old man's curiosity was piqued. He then came out of his hut.

When the four Demon Lords saw the old demon, their gazes turned even more respectful. Even the proud Azgonoth did not dare behave arrogantly in the presence of this personage for this old man was their leader!

Demon Ancestor Jun stared at the giant and said. "Alright. What is it that you wish to inform me of?"

Zagan did not dare make the old man wait for long and replied immediately. "Lord Demon Ancestor, we discovered a mysterious store in the territory of Burlock. Initially, we were only there to gather information about it, but when we set foot beyond their gates, we realized that this store wasn't simple. This store is shaped like a blooming azure lotus and we thought that it was a huge spiritual plant after we first saw it."

Zagan cleared his throat and continued. "Outside this lotus building, there was a garden full of precious spiritual plants and spiritual flowers. I think there might even be an Origin-rank spiritual plant among them. However, this is not the most surprising thing about this lotus building. When we stepped inside this store, we saw three female savage beasts at the Nascent God Realm. One of them was at the peak stage Nascent God Realm."

Demon Ancestor Jun's indifferent look flashed with interest upon hearing Zagan's words. He then recalled the piercing spiritual perception he felt at that time. Could it be that this lotus building and that expert had something to do with each other?

"The store is selling wine and this wine isn't simple. It is also the reason why we came here without hesitation. The wine is called Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit and it is capable of making one enter the level of Weapon Intent upon consumption!" Zagan's eyes lit up in excitement when he said these words.

The old man's eyebrows jumped in surprise upon hearing it. A wine that can make someone enter the level of Weapon Intent upon consumption? It seems too good to be true, but upon looking at the serious expressions of the four Demon Lords, he could not help but feel slightly excited. "Are your words truthful?" He asked with a solemn look.

Zagan hurriedly nodded his head and the three Demon Lords also attested to his words.

"Lord Demon Ancestor, Brother Zagan is speaking the truth. All of us had drunk the wine and we successfully entered the Weapon Intent level without effort!"

The old demon's eyes gleamed with profound light and he eagerly said. "Come. Show me your battle techniques!"

Zagan and the other three demonstrated their battle techniques and just like they said, all of them had indeed entered the Weapon Intent level! This made Demon Ancestor Jun's heart pound wildly.

"If this wine is indeed capable of inducing such an effect, then its value is inestimable. Making something like that might be difficult. Tell me. How much is the store selling it?" The old demon asked.

"This... It's only sold for 500 Blood Stones."
