“Wine Master Jiu, before we leave. I would like to invite you to spectate the execution of Xue Tong three days from now in front of the imperial palace.” Emperor Elyk said as he looked at Jiu Shen.
“Not interested.” Jiu Shen rejected it indifferently.
Emperor Elyk was speechless at his flat rejection, but he already prepared his heart for this, so he just smiled awkwardly at Jiu Shen.
“Then, we will take our leave, Wine Master Jiu.” Emperor Elyk said while cupping his fists respectfully. His father followed suit and cupped his fists together. Although he was already a Nascent God Realm expert, the old man had a strange feeling that he would not even last a single blow if he fights with the man in front of him. Just thinking about it made his old pair of legs shiver in fear.
“I will tell my disciple Can Ye to spectate this event on my behalf. Now, scram out of my sight.” Jiu Shen said before he closed his eyes.
Emperor Elyk grabbed his old man out of the second floor after bowing lightly at Jiu Shen. It was not a good idea to linger inside after they were told to leave especially with Theia and Ren Shuang observing the whole store.
The old man glanced at Ren Shuang who had his eyes shut tight. He could now sense how strong this guy was and it made his eyes shake in surprise. ’What a thick killing aura! How many lives had he taken to reach this point?! I could even feel a hint of fear despite the fact that I’m one huge realm stronger than him! Terrifying!’
At this moment, the old man no longer dared to take this silent man lightly. From what he had felt about Ren Shuang’s aura, the latter was enveloped by a dense air of invisible bloody atmosphere. It was so dense that he could even smell death while he was in front of Ren Shuang!
After the father and son duo left the second floor, Ren Shuang slowly opened his eyes and glanced in the direction that they have gone to. “A Nascent God Realm expert? Too bad he is too old…” He muttered in a deep voice.
Jiu Shen stood up after a moment of silence. He then walked towards the Refining Hall to check on his two alchemy disciples.
Two old men sat cross-legged in front of their own alchemy furnace. They wore serious looks as they refined the dans inside the furnace using the techniques that Jiu Shen taught them recently.
They did not even realize that there was someone who had summoned his tribulation lightning just several minutes ago. It was because the Refining Hall blocked all outside distractions, including the loud rumbling of thunder and shaking of the earth. There was also the Heart Calming Bead that made these two old men more focused on their refining process.
Jiu Shen watched the two old men with an unblinking gaze. He then shook his head lightly before leaving the Refining Hall. ’The both of them are hardworking people, but their lack of talent is preventing them from making an improvement. From the way they refined their dans, it can be seen that their years of experience in handling ingredients were not entirely wasted, but this could be improved after they learn more of my alchemy techniques. Even so, it would take them a lot of time before they achieve a breakthrough in alchemy, but with my teachings, I should be able to somehow shorten this process…’
Jiu Shen was deep in his thoughts and he realized that he was already standing in front of his room. He slowly opened the door and saw a little girl sleeping on his bed with a big snot bubble. He chuckled when he saw this. He then sat on the bed and caressed the little girl’s cheeks with a hint of warmth on his expressionless face. ’Just give me a little more time, Little Tiger. After my sect’s opening ceremony, I will immediately bring you to the Divine Beast Continent to look for your parents. I just hope that nothing troublesome comes up before that time comes…’
The sleeping lolita snuggled closer to Jiu Shen’s hand after feeling his warmth. She then mumbled a series of incomprehensible words before biting Jiu Shen’s finger.
Jiu Shen’s lips rose upwards when he saw this. He then gently retracted his hands, but the little girl refused to release her hold on him.
Jiu Shen stared speechlessly at the little girl before taking out a bottle of milk from his space earring. He then placed the tip of the bottle near the little girl’s nose which made her little nose twitch continuously. And as if on stimulants, she snatched the bottle of milk from Jiu Shen’s hand before sucking on its contents with her eyes still closed.
Jiu Shen patted her small head before leaving his room.
“I should check the construction of the sect building. From what Ren Shuang told me, the sect building should be completed in a few days. It was indeed a good idea to leave this job to Liuli and Xia Xinyue.” He muttered as he teleported out of his store.
The unfinished sect building was just a few hundred meters away from his wine store and he could already see it from above. This was designed by him, but he could not help but feel a sense of happiness after seeing it right in front of his eyes.
“This is just the beginning. It’s still too far away to go back to the Primordial God Realm. I should not be hasty on this. Anyway, that old fart Lao Gou is unaware that I’m still alive. For now, I must build my own force that would fight against that old fart’s Celestial Paragon Tower… Besides, I have grown to like this kind of idle lifestyle. ” Jiu Shen muttered, his gaze was now directed to the distant sky.
