Looking at the scared city guards, Furion snickered secretly in his heart.
“That’s enough. Stop scaring them already. They might attack you out of fear.” Jian Wang shook his head when he saw the playful smile of the Phoenix. This guy was already very old, but his heart was like that of a little kid.
Furion chuckled lightly as he slowly descended in front of the city gates. He then transformed into his human form and smiled amicably at everyone who was looking at him warily.
Jian Wang handed the entrance fee to the stunned city guards before he walked inside the city.
Seeing this, Furion immediately followed behind him with a wide smile on his face.
“I’ll lead you to the wine store. Follow me.” Furion said as he looked at Jian Wang with a smug look.
“Even without you leading the way, I already know where the wine store is located.” Jian Wang pushed him aside with a calm look. While they were still outside Hard Rock City, he had already scanned the entire area and he found out that there was actually a place where his spiritual sight could not penetrate! He guessed that this might be the location of the wine store that Furion was talking about.
‘It looks like this wine store has a complicated origin. Even my spiritual sight could see through what’s beyond those golden fences.’ He muttered to himself in surprise. He saw the golden fences that surrounded a dragon building. However, the place seemed to be shrouded in mystery. Even with his deep cultivation and powerful eyesight, he still failed to see through what was hidden within those golden fences.
When he first heard about the so-called miraculous wine from Furion, he was doubtful about it, but when he saw the elusive dragon building, he felt that there might be some truth behind those rumors.
Without saying a word, Jian Wang continued walking towards the location of the dragon building. He walked as if he was very familiar with this city, but it was actually his first time coming to this place.
Behind him was Furion who was looking around the city with a curious look on his face. “This city is truly lacking in terms of wealth. Looking at the stone pathway made from cheap materials, I can say that whoever created this city must be a miser!” He muttered in disdain.
Jian Wang ignored his mumbling and continued walking on a straight path. It didn’t take long for them to reach the dragon building.
They could already see a huge number of people outside the golden fences. From the looks of it, this wine store was truly famous in the area.
Guarding the golden gates were two guards dressed in dark battle armor. Their faces were solemn as they stared at the passing crowd. Because of their rigid faces, those that didn’t have money didn’t dare step foot beyond the golden gates for fear of provoking the two.
“The both of them are at the Supreme God Realm. From the aura they exude, their power is equivalent to those at the peak stage of the Supreme God Realm. Not bad.” Furion nodded his head in praise as he scanned the two guards.
Beside him, Jian Wang agreed silently. Both the guards were strong, but they were merely the gate guards of this dragon building.
“Let’s go.” Jian Wang muttered with a look of anticipation on his face. His expectations towards the dragon building increased after what he had seen so far.
The two guards glanced at them briefly but they didn’t stop Jian Wang and Furion from going inside.
Although the two men didn’t intentionally release their aura, both the guards could feel a suppressive pressure coming from them.
“I thought that they would inspect us more thoroughly. I didn’t think that they would actually let us go inside right away.” Furion muttered.
Jian Wang didn’t even bother to reply to his remarks. He moved through the pathway and observed the surroundings through his spiritual vision. He sensed that everything in this place were valuable items. From the golden fences, the golden gates, the stone pathway, and even the medicinal garden outside the dragon building.
A rare trace of curiosity can be seen on Jian Wang’s face. He wondered who the owner of this wine store was. He could already tell the absurd wealth of the owner just based on what he had seen!
“These are Celestial God-rank items… Although those spiritual plants were merely at Supreme God-rank and Heavenly God-rank, they are still precious.” Jian Wang muttered to himself as he hid the shock in his heart. He also had a couple of Celestial-rank items in his possession, but he would never use them as mere designs for his home.
“The owner of this place is truly extravagant.” Furion sighed in amazement. He could also tell the shocking value of those items. Furion could not help but feel slightly envious in his heart. Even his eons of savings could barely compare to what he had witnessed thus far. He even had the urge to steal a few stone pebbles from the pathway to save as a souvenir, but his last shred of pride held him back.
Looking at Furion’s twitching face, Jian Wang let out a smile as he said. “Don’t even think about it. You might not have noticed it, but this entire area is protected by countless Protective Array Formations. If you attempt to steal even a blade of grass, those Array Formations would immediately activate and attack you.”
After hearing his words, Furion swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He failed to notice the Array Formations since he was too shocked by the precious items of this place. Now that he had taken a closer look, he indeed saw that there were indeed a bunch of Array Formations inscribed all over this wine store! Luckily, Jian Wang was kind enough to remind him about this.
“Brother Jian, I think the owner of this wine store is also Celestial. What do you think?” Furion mumbled nervously.
