The Immortal’s Wine Store Chapter 45

Chapter 45 - Heart Unmoved Like Mountain

Lu Sulan’s thoughts were like a jumbled mess as she kept on looking at Jiu Shen’s back. His long silver hair was fluttering along with the wind as they flew back towards the Ice Cloud Sword Sect.

His every action left a deep impression in her heart.

The man that suddenly came to give her hope was actually a top expert who can be considered as the most pinnacle cultivator in the whole Profound Dragon Continent. Furthermore, he was also an Alchemy Saint!

’Jiu Shen, just who are you?’ Lu Sulan thought to herself as they descended towards the Ice Cloud Sword Sect’s ice castle.

When the disciples saw who had arrived, they immediately opened the gates and allowed them to go inside.

The arrogant female disciple that blocked Jiu Shen’s entry more than a day ago was now looking at him respectfully. And behind that respectful look was a feeling of fear.

She heard of some rumors about the man. He was able to see the flaws of her junior sisters’ and senior sisters’ sword techniques in just one glance! Not just that, they also said that even their sect mistress was very respectful towards him. Adding to the event where he had displayed his aura against them, she felt really scared that he would make things difficult for her.

Jiu Shen did not even bother glancing at the beautiful female disciples and just treated them like random pebbles in the roadside.

In fact, he did not really care about them for he had seen countless beauties in his past life. Furthermore, their beauties exceeded that of Lu Sulan since they had a much higher cultivation level and they had also eaten countless immortal treasures to enhance their beauty.

The female disciple felt like she had been given a new lease in life after seeing Jiu Shen’s indifferent attitude. ’What kind of man did I even provoke?’

Her junior and senior sisters, on the other hand, were looking at Jiu Shen in an uncovered adoration and admiration. Who could blame them? Jiu Shen’s devilishly handsome face and aloof look were the weaknesses of these little maidens’ hearts. It only took them a glance to fall for his otherworldly face.

Meanwhile, Jiu Shen was still following behind Lu Sulan, his face detached and cold.

Lu Sulan stopped in her tracks and glanced at Jiu Shen. She handed a ring to him and said in a gentle voice. “Lord Jiu Shen, inside this ring are the ingredients that you needed for your concoction. Please check it.”

Jiu Shen calmly checked the contents of the ring. ’It seems like the Alchemy Hall doesn’t have one Earth Origin Dragon Fruit. Do we really have to wait for my spiritual plants to bear fruit? In that case, I still have to do my acupuncture on her while we wait for it…’

Seeing Jiu Shen’s unchanging expression as he checked the ring’s content, Lu Sulan tactfully remained silent.

“Sect Mistress Lu, this ring contains all the necessary auxiliary ingredients that I needed in order to concoct the Crimson Astral Blaze Pill, but we still lack the main ingredient, which is one piece of Earth Origin Dragon Fruit.” Jiu Shen said as he returned the ring to Lu Sulan.

Lu Sulan was a bit disappointed after hearing his words. The last ingredient that he needed was a 9th-rank spiritual plant! Such a treasure was a rarity in the whole Profound Dragon Continent!

“In that case… What can we do for now, Lord Jiu Shen?” She asked with an inquiring look.

“You don’t need to worry about this remaining ingredient. I have some Earth Origin Dragon Fruit Tree in my store, but it will take a month before they can bear fruits. So, as we wait, I will do my acupuncture on you once every week for one month. This will suppress the sense of discomfort that you always feel every time you cultivate.” Jiu Shen calmly said.

When Lu Sulan heard that he had some Earth Origin Dragon Fruit Tree in his store, she was taken aback. He even said it so casually as if it was nothing in his eyes!

When Lu Sulan heard that he would do his acupuncture on her, she felt embarrassed and expectant at the same time. She looked away from him to hide her embarrassment.

“Ah- since that’s the only choice left, I will concede and allow Lord Jiu Shen to do so.” She forced herself to sound cold and distant, but Jiu Shen could see her fair earlobes producing a reddish hue.

How could an archaic expert like him who had lived for countless eons not know what a little girl was thinking? It’s just that he was too lazy to bother with her feelings. Or it could also be said that he was afraid that he would develop a seed of emotion within his ice-cold heart.

In fact, Jiu Shen had a few lovers in his past life. But all of them drifted away from him due to the huge discrepancy in their strengths. They all died after the cruel and endless passing of time.

He may be one of Primordial God Realm’s top experts, but he was powerless to change their fates. Even if he gave them countless immortal pills and heavenly treasures, what could those things do? Those pills and treasures could only temporarily delay their impending doom, and they still could never escape the perpetual passing of time.

Only someone at the level of the three celestial emperors could live an eternal life. As for the rest of the experts… They would still die after several eons of living their long lives.

After living for countless eons, Jiu Shen had experienced many things in life. He had seen how his family, friends, and lovers died from old age, while he who was as a Heavenly God remained young.

The bone-chilling sensation that he felt as he watched how his loved ones died was kept in the deepest recesses of his mind. It was heart-crippling, even worse than facing countless heavenly tribulations.

With all those memories still fresh in his mind, Jiu Shen would bury whatever sense of emotion that may develop in his stone-cold heart. This was also how he had comprehended the third heart realm, Heart Unmoved Like Mountain…
