Chapter 129 - Giving The VIP Card To The Emperor



Chapter 129 - Giving The VIP Card To The Emperor

After Theia left the second floor, Hu Xiandao focused his attention on the changes in his body. He only realized now that the anma throughout his body was actually growing at a fast rate of time!

He was already at the peak stage of the 7th-rank Emperor realm in terms of physical strength and it should take him a few more years before he could reach the 8th-rank Divine realm, but looking at the minute changes happening inside his body, he could faintly feel that he was on the verge of breaking through!

Without delaying any further, he sat cross-legged and directed the remaining life energy from the Body Reforging Heaven Pill to enhance his physical body and strengthen his anma.

Aside from regrowing one’s severed limbs, the Body Reforging Heaven Pill was also able to nourish his anma which means that this Immortal Pill was also a supplement for body strengthening experts like him! Just the residual energy from the pill alone was actually enough to help him break through to the 8th-rank Divine realm! It was truly a miraculous treasure worthy of being an Immortal Pill!

The eyes of Qi Hongtian and Master Fengzi brightened when they realize the changes in Hu Xiandao’s body. They became even more amazed at the effects of the Body Reforging Heaven Pill. Furthermore, the image of Jiu Shen who refined such a magical pill turned even more exalted in their hearts. After all, refining a pill at that level was impossible for even an Alchemy Saint. Only those at the Nascent God Realm were capable of concocting such a pill.

Could it be possible that Wine Master Jiu is...

Qi Hongtian and Master Fengzi glanced at each other as an absurd thought appeared in their minds, making their hearts palpitate in fear and respect.

Looking at the old men’s stunned looks, Lu Sulan smiled proudly. She knew that they were thinking about her master, and aside from her master, who else could make the supreme elder of the Alchemy Hall feel inferior? No one!

Hu Xiandao opened his eyes and a flicker of limitless power gushed out of his gaze, making the air fluctuate irregularly. However, the atmosphere inside the second floor regained its calm in a mere blink of an eye as if what happened earlier was but a misconception.

Hu Xiandao stood up and clenched his fists tightly, producing crackling sounds filled with explosive power. Hu Xiandao smiled foolishly after sensing his newfound strength. It was unbelievable for him to achieve this kind of change in just a few minutes. This was the power of a high-level alchemist!

With a satisfied smile on his face, Hu Xiandao glanced at Lu Sulan and said gratefully. "I will not forget this grace, Sect Mistress Lu." He cupped his hands solemnly and he could not help but feel slightly emotional at the fact that he had now regrown his left arm. Although he looked rather calm on the surface, he was actually excited in his heart to finally regain his severed arm. Furthermore, he had even advanced into the 8th-rank Divine realm! Everything was too surreal that he still found it hard to believe, but the reality was already right in front of his eyes...

Lu Sulan smiled gently and shook her head. "Lord Hu, if not for you saving me back then, I wouldn’t be here now. This is the heaven’s reward for your good deeds, but of course, you still have to thank my master since he was the one who refined this pill for you."

Hu Xiandao nodded his head firmly and thought of Jiu Shen’s expressionless face. He could not help but smile for getting his grace. Although he had no idea about pill refining, he knew that Jiu Shen must have used a lot of valuable resources when he concocted the pill he just consumed. He silently remembered the favor in his heart and vowed to come back here as soon as he finished reporting the details about the Earth Origin Dragon Tree.

"Don’t worry, Sect Mistress Lu. I will thank Wine Master Jiu personally." Hu Xiandao smiled, but his smile was truly too appalling to look at that even Lu Sulan could not help but chuckle happily.

"In that case, I shall not hold you for long anymore, Lord Hu. Besides, you still have to go back to the Mythos Wildlands to report about what happened yesterday." Lu Sulan smiled gently at him as she spoke.

"Then I shall bid my farewell, Sect Mistress Lu." Hu Xiandao cupped his fists at Lu Sulan one more time before he walked downstairs.

Lu Sulan smiled at then turned his gaze at the two old men who were still wearing stunned looks. "Guests, what would you like to order?"

On the first floor.

Emperor Elyk was talking with Jiu Shen in a friendly manner, while the latter acted as if he was listening, but his attention was actually on the second floor. When he sensed the increase of strength in Hu Xiandao’s physical body, he let out a faint smile.

"Wine Master Jiu, come come come! I’ll show you the one hundred people that you asked for." Emperor Elyk thought that Jiu Shen was pleased with his attitude when he saw the latter’s smile.

This time, Jiu Shen was also slightly curious about what kind of people Emperor Elyk has brought for him, but he didn’t really have high hopes for them since they were merely people of humble origins. Nonetheless, he was still looking forward to seeing them.

"Elyk, lead the way." Jiu Shen stood up from his seat and gently placed Ice down on the floor, which instantly made the chubby cat raise her paws with a disgruntled look.

Meow!

"Hahaha! Of course, Wine Master Jiu! Come, follow me!"

Jiu Shen ignored Ice and followed behind Emperor Elyk with a trace of anticipation in his heart.

Under the dumbfounded looks of the customers, the two men went out of the store.

The moment the emperor and Jiu Shen stepped out of the store, the four guardians and the several dozen soldiers immediately bowed their heads and greeted in unison.

"We greet you, Your Majesty!"

"We greet you, Wine Master Jiu!"

Their deep voice reverberated on the now bustling street, making the onlooking crowd excited at what they heard.

"The emperor is actually here to visit Wine Master Jiu!"

"Of course! I’ve heard that they have even become very close friends."

The crowd chattered animatedly while looking at the figures of Jiu Shen and Emperor Elyk.

Emperor Elyk smiled in embarrassment when he heard the crowd’s words, but he hurriedly concealed it and brought Jiu Shen to the five huge carriages at the far end.

Jiu Shen took a glance at the five carriages without any changes in his expression, but Emperor Elyk had long since expected this.

Each of the carriages was indeed large and was enough to accommodate twenty people sitting closely together.

"Men, tell them to come out and meet their master!" Emperor Elyk ordered loudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The soldiers replied in unison and they promptly went to open the five carriages, making everyone see the faces of the young kids inside. All of them were male with ages that range between thirteen to seventeen. Most of these young men had lean and healthy figures. It can be seen that the emperor was truly sincere in this trade between him and Jiu Shen. He even brought the ones with the most vigorous and robust figures among the servants that their Silveria Imperial Family had trained. However, he didn’t feel that he was at a loss in this exchange since befriending Jiu Shen was already more than enough.

Jiu Shen nodded his head in satisfaction. He was quite contented with the kids that the emperor brought.

"Elyk, I can feel your sincerity in this exchange. Here’s your VIP Card, don’t lose it." Jiu Shen took out the VIP Card from his space earring and handed it to Emperor Elyk.

Emperor Elyk glanced at the small rectangular card in his hands and was a bit bedazzled by its stylish design. Its gold and black color were intricately balanced and the imposing name of the store made it look precious and at the same time luxurious. "Wine Master Jiu, what’s the benefit of having this card again?" He asked with a slightly excited look.

Jiu Shen glanced at him calmly and replied. "With this card, you’ll get a 20% discount from all of your purchases in my store and you can also take out one order of each wine and dish. Furthermore, you can also temporarily give this to your children so that they can access my store’s second floor."

Emperor Elyk smiled widely when he heard his reply, but when he heard the latter part of Jiu Shen’s words, he could not help but feel curious about this second floor. "Wine Master Jiu, is there anything special about your store’s second floor?" He asked while looking at Jiu Shen curiously.

Jiu Shen was silent for a moment before he replied in an unhurried voice. "Only those at the 7th-rank Emperor realm can go up to the second floor. As for what’s special about it, you can go and check it yourself."

Emperor Elyk was now more curious about the store’s second floor after hearing that only those at the 7th-rank Emperor realm were allowed to go there.

"In that case, I’ll take a look inside." Emperor Elyk smiled.

Jiu Shen nodded his head and replied. "No problem."

Emperor Elyk chuckled after seeing that Jiu Shen was unwilling to lead the way for him, but he didn’t mind this minor matter and walked inside with a dignified look. "I’ll be back, Wine Master Jiu."

Jiu Shen ignored him and turned his gaze on the one hundred young men that were looking at him with curious gazes. They didn’t look weak at all despite their young age and they appeared to have been trained how to fight when looking at their refined and growing muscles. They should have been the next batch of imperial guards, but they were now here to serve Jiu Shen.

"Theia, find a suitable place for these kids and make sure that it’s big enough to set up a training field for them. Make haste and return immediately." Jiu Shen transmitted his message to Theia.

"Yes, Master. I’ll get it done right away!" Theia’s gentle voice drifted inside Jiu Shen’s head.

Right after her tender and pleasant voice ended, a shadow abruptly leaped out of Jiu Shen’s store at an incomprehensible speed.

No one other than Jiu Shen saw the figure that left the store. It was as if she was the embodiment of lightning with her shocking speed!

"This is merely the first step of my plans." Jiu Shen muttered in his heart with a serene look on his face.
