In his past life, Jiu Shen was a solitary cultivator with no one to rely on. He achieved his cultivation through sheer willpower and talent, while the others had it much easier than him. Even so, Jiu Shen still managed to stand out despite his lack of background and was even termed as the Primordial God Realm’s fourth strongest person, just right behind the three Celestial Emperors.
Because of this resounding reputation, nobody dared to provoke him, but his peaceful life came to an end due to his dispute with Celestial Emperor Lao Gou. And without anybody’s support, he was finally trapped by Celestial Emperor Lao Gou in his God Sealing Tower.
So in order to prevent the same thing from happening, Jiu Shen planned to establish his own sect while he was still in this mortal world. As for the one hundred slaves that he asked from the emperor, he had different plans for them.
Little did he know that he will actually nurture the most terrifying army that will one day shock the whole Primordial God Realm!
“Wine Master Jiu, this wine…” Emperor Elyk was truly curious about the wine in Jiu Shen’s possession. Just the taste of the latter’s wine made him feel that his Phoenix’s Godly Flames Wine was as bland as water. Not to mention its indescribable aroma that has yet to dissipate in the air.
Jiu Shen glanced at him and obviously knew what was on his mind. “It’s my store’s Deep Sea Spring Dew and it is 120 True Crystals per bottle.”
Emperor Elyk’s eyes went wide in astonishment. He wasn’t surprised because it was too expensive but because it was too cheap a price for such a great wine! He was already expecting that it might be at least 300 True Crystals, but to think it was only sold for 120 True Crystals…
“I want five dozen bottles of this, Wine Master Jiu!” Emperor Elyk hurriedly said with shining eyes. There was no semblance of a true ruler in him at this moment, but he didn’t give a damn about that anymore. No one else was there anyway aside from Jiu Shen.
“Meow!” A chubby cat rolled over his feet before it jumped on Jiu Shen’s lap.
The emperor glanced at the fat cat and couldn’t help but feel surprised. He was certain that he didn’t sense it earlier. If not for it rolling on his feet, he wouldn’t have discovered the cat at all! However, his focus was now on Jiu Shen since he really wanted to get his hands on the wondrous wine that he had just drunk.
“Our store does not allow take-outs, and with your strength, you can only consume two bottles at most.” Jiu Shen said calmly while stroking Ice’s fur.
Emperor Elyk felt disappointed after hearing that. After drinking one cup of the wine, he felt the true essence in his dantian expanding by a bit. Although this increase in strength was minuscule, it would have still taken him several months to achieve that kind of increase! So if he drank this wine daily, wouldn’t he be able to break through to the 9th-rank Saint realm in no time? Just the thought of it made him so excited that he now looked like a kid that had taken his first bite of ice cream.
“Wine Master Jiu, since you don’t allow take outs here. What about giving me a discount every time I buy here? I wouldn’t mind adding a few more slaves, what do you think?” The emperor’s eyes flashed with a cunning glow, but how could Jiu Shen not see through his little tricks? He was still too young to fool this billion-year-old Heavenly God…
The trade of slaves was illegal in the Silver Wing Empire, but the emperor had his ways on how to give Jiu Shen the number of people that he wants. The Silveria Imperial Family had a training ground for servants where they nurture the future maids and imperial guards of the imperial palace.
Jiu Shen’s expression remained unperturbed despite his tempting offer, but he was actually telepathically communicating with the system.
“System, do I have the power to give him discounts?” Jiu Shen asked. Although a hundred slaves was already a huge amount, adding a few more wouldn’t hurt his plans.
– Ding!
– Host, after you activate the next store expansion package, you will be able to give VIP cards to the customers. With this VIP card, they will get a 20% discount for all of their future purchases. Furthermore, they will also gain the privilege of taking out one order of each wine and dishes.
“Oh? What about the next store expansion package, can I get it after I complete the current mission?”
– Ding!
– Host, this is indeed one of the rewards for accomplishing this mission.
Jiu Shen became a bit curious about what these rewards would be.
“After you give me what I’ve asked, I might consider giving you a VIP card.” Jiu Shen said while looking at the emperor.
The latter’s jaw almost dropped after hearing Jiu Shen’s reply. He had heard from Defender Duanmu that this Wine Master Jiu was a miser. He had even forced the old guy and the fourth prince to buy his wines. Recalling the aggrieved looks of the old defender and the fourth at that time, the emperor could not help but chuckle in his heart.
“VIP card? What does it do, Wine Master Jiu?” The emperor asked curiously.
“With that card, you will get a 20% discount for all your purchases in my store. Aside from that, you can also order a take-out, but you can only bring one wine and dish of each kind.” Jiu Shen replied patiently. He was only planning to give VIP cards to those he finds interesting.
“Oh? That good? Then I will surely deliver those one hundred people over to you soon, Wine Master Jiu.” The emperor said with a smile. The VIP card that Jiu Shen mentioned was very precious in his eyes. With that, he can buy those miraculous wines at a much smaller price! Furthermore, he was even allowed to order take-outs if he had that card.
After getting that VIP card from Wine Master Jiu tomorrow, I will show it to that old man Duanmu. I wonder what his reaction will be? Hahaha! Emperor Elyk laughed in his heart.
