Jian Wang stopped in his tracks when he heard Furion’s words.
Up until now, there were only three Celestial God Rank experts known to all. With himself included, the other two were Celestial Emperor Lao Gou who was the Sect Master of the Celestial Paragon Tower, and Asmodeus, a very mysterious individual who rarely comes out in public.
Jian Wang had been in seclusion for millions of years, so he was quite ignorant about the latest news happening in the Primordial God Realm. His only source of information was the unreliable Phoenix in front of him.
From what he could remember, there was a man named Jiu Shen who was recognized as the fourth strongest in all realms. The public thought so highly of him and they guessed that he would be the fourth person to reach the Celestial God Realm. However, he met an untimely death under the hands of Celestial Emperor Lao Gou. And from what Jian Wang could remember, Jiu Shen’s death was because of a woman.
This event made Jian Wang feel pity for Jiu Shen. He could have become a top expert and stood on the same level as him, but he died before that happened.
Other than Jiu Shen, the only person he could think that was about to reach the Celestial God Realm was this Phoenix, Furion. This guy might be annoying at times, but his strength was the real deal!
“You think too much. Although I haven’t been out for eons, I haven’t heard of anyone ascending to the Celestial God Realm.” Jian Wang said before he went inside the dragon building.
Furion immediately followed behind him and he saw the name plaque posted on the wall of the dragon building. It was written in aggressive calligraphy writing that was covered in a dense sword aura.
The Immortal’s Wine Store
‘What a domineering name!’ He thought to himself as he stepped inside the dragon building.
It was in the middle of the day, so there were more than a dozen customers drinking wine. Some sat alone, while most were drinking in groups of four or five.
Looking at this lively scene, Jian Wang and Furion recalled the time when they last entered a pub.
Suddenly, a lovely young lady walked toward them with a professional smile hanging on her face. She glanced at the two and noticed that they were unfamiliar faces. She guessed that they might be new here, so she asked them with a sweet voice. “Hello, guests! Is it your first time coming here?”
Her voice wasn’t too loud, just enough for the two men to hear her.
Jian Wang and Furion glanced at her and nodded their heads in unison.
After getting their answer, the young lady smiled vibrantly and said. “Welcome to the Immortal’s Wine Store! Come. I’ll take you to an empty spot.”
Jian Wang and Furion followed the young lady as they looked around the wine store. Everything was clean and tidy. In fact, they couldn’t see a hint of blemish anywhere. From the marbled floor to the pristine ceiling, everything was shiny and dazzling!
Besides that, the two men also noticed that the materials used to make the dragon building were Celestial-rank items! This made Furion gape in shock. Just a small piece of this marbled floor alone was already enough to compare to his accumulated wealth of million years! Just thinking about it made him depressed.
Looking at his expression, Jian Wang chuckled internally, but he was also surprised by the sheer wealth and luxury of the dragon building. The marbled floor that they were stepping on can be made into Celestial-rank weapons, but the owner of the wine store was actually insane enough to use this precious item as a mere flooring of this dragon building!
Despite his shock, Jian Wang didn’t show it on his face.
Soon, they were brought to an empty spot. They sat down and the young lady gave them the menu. There were only a few wines on the menu. It was very detailed and it even had the picture of the wines and their subsequent effects written. The prices were quite absurd for normal wines, but if their effects were true, then the prices would be cheap.
“I’d like a bottle of this Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit.” Jian Wang knew that this was the wine he was looking for. From the description written on the menu, this wine could enhance a person’s Weapon Intent. It was unimaginable, but he wanted to see if this claim was true.
“Give me a bottle of the most expensive wine.” Furion said with a gallant tone.
After getting their orders, the young lady slightly bowed her head. “Please wait for a moment, dear guests. I’ll bring the wines to you in a minute.”
Jian Wang and Furion nodded their heads calmly.
When the lady left, Furion’s gallant smile drastically changed. He grabbed Jian Wang’s arm and muttered. “Brother Jian, I know you’ve also noticed the items used in building this dragon building. Do you know of anyone who might be the owner of this place? He is actually crazy enough to squander such valuable items!”
Jian Wang swatted his hand and shook his head. “I don’t know. The only guy I could think of who was this much wealth is Lao Gou. Other than him, maybe Asmodeus… Just ask the young lady after she comes back.”
Furion racked his brains, but he also couldn’t think of anyone. In the end, they could only ask the young waitress for the identity of the owner. Perhaps she would be kind enough to tell them about it.
Not long later, the young lady came back with two bottles of wine. She placed a bottle in front of Jian Wang and Furion respectively. Her actions were well-practiced and elegant.
“Is there anything else, dear guests?” She asked with a smile.
Furion stared at Jian Wang, but he saw that the latter had no intentions of looking at him. This guy’s focus was on the wine in front of him.
Seeing this, Furion coughed and looked at the young lady as he asked. “Uh, young miss, who is the owner of this wine store?”
