Corpse Lord didn’t know if Jiu Shen was threatening him when he said that he came with a group. If this human came with a group, it was possible that this force would attack him if something happens to Jiu Shen. That means, he had to abandon his plans to deal with him. He could only choose to approach this situation in an amicable manner to prevent the group behind Jiu Shen from declaring war. As an expert who has lived for millions of years, he had developed a cautious personality.
‘I have to gather information about this man’s group first. It would be dangerous if there’s another strong expert behind him.’ Corpse Lord muttered in his heart.
Jiu Shen remained calm as he waited for Corpse Lord’s reply.
“To tell you the truth, that area is under my jurisdiction. However, I love making friends, so I will compromise and sell that piece of land to you at a discounted price. What do you think?” Corpse Lord handed the map back to Jiu Shen and looked at him with a light smile.
‘Once I find out the overall strength of this guy’s group, I’ll decide what to do then…’ The old man muttered in his heart. This Jiu Shen was so nonchalant that it made him feel that he was facing someone older than him. In fact, it felt like he was a child in front of an elder.
Jiu Shen took the map and kept it inside his space earring. This Corpse Lord was quite shrewd. Jiu Shen had already discovered the Array Formation hidden in this study and if this old man decides to activate the inscriptions, Jiu Shen had multiple ways to deactivate it. Corpse Lord’s answer somewhat surprised him since most overlords of a region would be angry when a part of their territory will be taken by someone.
‘This brat knows how to use his brain. Not bad…’ Jiu Shen chuckled in his heart.
“That would be great. Unfortunately, my group fled in a hurry and we couldn’t bring many resources with us, but I have something that might take your interest.” Jiu Shen said with a mysterious tone. He didn’t have many God Stones with him, so he could only take out his wines. Wines that could enhance physique were not rare in the Primordial God Realm, but Jiu Shen’s wines are unique. The effect of drinking his wine was similar to consuming high-level resources. He knew that Corpse Lord would be in love with them!
Corpse Lord revealed a look of interest. Of course, he didn’t buy Jiu Shen’s tale about the war or something. He had been here for millions of years, but he heard no mention of wars in the nearby locations. However, he didn’t expose Jiu Shen’s lie.
“Oh? I wonder what Mr. Jiu Shen is talking about?” Corpse Lord wondered what this human had brought with him for him to be this confident. If it’s something valuable, he didn’t mind taking it as payment.
Jiu Shen smiled and take out a bottle of Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit. This wine could enhance someone’s Weapon Intent and it could also strengthen one’s physique.
Jiu Shen pushed the bottle towards Corpse Lord.
The old man furrowed his eyebrows when he saw the bottle on the table. It wasn’t something he had expected, but looking at Jiu Shen’s indifferent look, he decided to check the contents of the bottle. He took the cork and saw a scarlet liquid inside. The fragrant wine aroma invaded his nostrils like a stream. It smells great! He thought.
“Mr. Jiu Shen…this is?” Although Corpse Lord liked the fragrance, he was confused about what was special about this wine.
Jiu Shen grinned when he saw the expression of the old man. “Try it and you will know…” He answered with great confidence.
Corpse Lord slightly frowned, but he still grabbed the bottle. He then took a light sip of it and…
“This…” His old eyes widened like saucers. He could feel a slight improvement in his physique after that small sip of the wine. Furthermore, there was also something that made him feel stunned. He could feel that his Weapon Intent was somehow stimulated by the wine!
Corpse Lord drank a few more mouthfuls of the wine until he was satisfied. The results also shocked him even more! This wine could enhance his body’s strength and also improve his Weapon Intent! Only a few resources were capable of doing this! He knew that this was a treasure!
Corpse Lord sighed as he put the bottle back on the table. He knew that he was defeated in the negotiation when he saw the strange smile on the human’s face. “You surprised me, Mr. Jiu Shen. Alright, give me five hundred bottles of this wine and the land is yours.”
Jiu Shen shook his head calmly. “You’ve tried the wine yourself, Corpse Lord, so you should know its value. I can give you one hundred bottles at most for that desolate land.”
Corpse Lord felt a bit speechless at the counter offer. It was five times lower than he offered, but he knew that Jiu Shen was already being generous. The land he wanted to get also didn’t have anything of value, so to get a hundred bottles of such precious wine was already a great bargain for the old man. The old man revealed a look of defeat as he sighed. “Deal!”
He then took out an old parchment paper from his space ring and gave it to Jiu Shen. This was the title of the land and he was now giving it to Jiu Shen. “This is the document of ownership for that land. Take it.” He said with a bit of reluctance.
Jiu Shen took the parchment before he grabbed a box from his space earring. Inside this box were a hundred bottles of Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit!
“Here’s one hundred bottles of Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit.” Jiu Shen pushed the box to the old man.
Corpse Lord took the box with a hint of expectation. ‘I wonder where he got these from…’
