The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 128 Hu Xiandao Consuming Immortal Pills
Lu Sulan had long since brought Hu Xiandao to the second floor since the Body Reforging Heaven Pill was too precious to be brought out in front of everyone, and only on the second floor would he feel comfortable giving Immortal Pill to Hu. Xiamen.
The barbarian looked around curiously as they climbed upwards and his eyes occasionally brightened after seeing how luxurious the shop was. The Mythos Wildlands Lion Temple where the chieftain lived was not even worth mentioning compared to Jiu Shen's shop.
Upon reaching the second floor, they saw a man with long, unkempt hair standing at the entrance with his eyes tightly closed. He did not even bother greeting Lu Sulan and Hu Xiandao as they passed by and remained standing like stone statues. This man was none other than Ren Shuang who was summoned after Jiu Shen opened the second store expansion pack.
Hu Xiandao felt a surge of terror in his heart as he glanced at the man. With just one glance, the former instantly knew that the latter was definitely a top expert!
‘This man is dangerous and reeks of slaughter!’ Hu Xiandao exclaimed in his heart as he hurriedly shifted his gaze. He was familiar with the aura and atmosphere around Ren Shuang as almost all of the warriors in their Mythos Wildlands had similar traits. They were born in the wild and fought many times with ferocious beasts, so their auras already contained an air of slaughter. Merely, the atmosphere of slaughter around Ren Shuang was too stifling that Hu Xiandao did not dare to glance at him for too long.
When the two of them arrived inside the second floor, Theia had already brought Master Fengzi and Qi Hongtian, and the two old men looked puzzled as they stared at the painting on the wall.
Seeing their expressions, Lu Sulan chuckled in his heart. He then took Hu Xiandao to a random corner and asked him to sit down. “Master Hu, please sit down. I have something important to discuss with you.”
Hu Xiandao was confused but he knew that Lu Sulan would not just bring him here for a useless reason, so he simply nodded his head at him with a smile. “Sekte Mrs Lu, I want to know what you want to discuss with me so you even have to take me to the second floor?”
Lu Sulan sat opposite him and took out something from his outer space ring. He then looked at Hu Xiandao's non-existent left arm before he turned his gaze to the latter.
“Master Hu, you already know that my master is an Alchemy Saint, right?” Lu Sulan asked with a gentle smile.
Hu Xiandao immediately nodded his head when he heard the question. “Indeed. Even before coming to this store, I had already heard the rumor that the Wine Master Jiu was an Alchemy Saint. Why are you asking this, Sect Mistress Lu?”
Lu Sulan smiled at him and showed Hu Xiandao the Heaven Forging Body Pill given to him by Jiu Shen. “Master Hu, this is a high-tier pill refined by my master and capable of regrowing severed limbs. He asked me to give this to you as a token of appreciation for having helped us yesterday.”
Hu Xiandao was stunned when he heard the effect of the pill. He took a deep breath and looked at Lu Sulan with a serious expression on his face. “Sekte Madam Lu, this is too precious and I cannot accept such a gift from Wine Master Jiu.” He sighed and shook his head.
Lu Sulan had already expected his refusal. He knew his personality well, but he was also determined to give this to Hu Xiandao. “Mr Hu, just treat it like I plead to you. If you do not receive this, then I have to crush it into pieces because I do not use it.” He said with a pitiful look, making Hu Xiandao's heart waver.
Hu Xiandao let out a weak laugh when he saw Lu Sulan's expression. He wanted to reject her once more but seeing her expression of determination, it seemed like he had no choice. With a defeated expression on his face, he leaned back in his chair and said. “Okay, I still can't bear to see that expression on your face. Good. Good. Good. I'll take it.” He smiled wryly and shook his head bitterly.
Lu Sulan smiled from ear to ear when he heard his reply and he immediately handed the pill to Hu Xiandao. “Master Hu, my master wishes you a return after reporting things related to the Earth Origin Dragon Tree to the Mythos Wild Land. It seems like he really likes you and is most likely willing to take you under him, but of course , the choice remains in your hands.”
Hu Xiandao was not surprised this time when he heard his words. He somewhat expected this after Lu Sulan had brought the pill before. Furthermore, who would give such a precious pill away for free? Merely, was it really worth it for Jiu Shen to give such a pill to him?
Hu Xiandao felt a complicated sensation in his heart, but since he had already accepted it, he could only put his confused thoughts behind his mind.
“I'll consider it with ama, Madam Sect Lu.” He said while studying the pill in his hand.
Lu Sulan smiled at him and said. “Tuan Hu, you can consume pills here and I will guarantee your safety.”
Hu Xiandao also wanted to take the pill, so he nodded his head at Lu Sulan before putting the pill into his mouth.
‘Bitter!’ He nearly spat out the Body Reforging Heaven Pill because of its extremely bitter taste, but he forcefully swallowed it down his throat.
The situation was already visible to Theia and the two old men from the Alchemy Hall, and the latter two could not help but look at the scene happily.
‘So the pill was meant for him? What a lucky man to receive the Wine Master Jiu award!’ Both of them thought to themselves as they continued to witness the changes that had happened to Hu Xiandao.
Although Theia remained calm, there was also a light of surprise in her indifferent eyes.
Ren Shuang's eyes opened as he stared at the thick life energy around Hu Xiandao with a hint of confusion, but he closed his eyes again after that short moment.
Hu Xiandao felt a wriggling sensation on his left shoulder as if hundreds of ants were crawling and gnawing at his skin, but he gritted his teeth and endured the itching.
A while later, everyone saw a white bone protruding out from his left shoulder and slowly growing as time passed. After that, the strands of fiber wrapped around the protruding bone and then formed its muscles and tissues.
Lu Sulan and the others watched the scene with their mouths wide open. Everything that was happening in front of them was too absurd that they almost thought that they were in a dream. Only Theia remained calm as she looked at Hu Xiandao's slowly growing arm back.
Not long after, the last layer of skin finally covered Hu Xiandao's exposed muscles and tissues.
Hu Xiandao opened his eyes and looked at his re-growing left arm with a joyful smile. “It is really unbelievable that the pill has such a miraculous effect!”
He clenched his left hand and was still a little unfamiliar with the feeling. He had just regrowed his left arm and it would take him about a month to get used to it, but he didn't mind waiting that long.
“Excellent! This is truly magical like the stone shards mentioned!” Qi Hongtian gasped in shock as his gloomy eyes flickered with a deep light. He was now even more determined to take Jiu Shen as his master.
Master Fengzi was too shocked to speak and he could only stand there like a pole while staring at Hu Xiandao.
Just then, everyone inside suddenly heard a cold voice drifting into their ears. “Because of you misty old men from the Alchemy Hall, the secret of a master being an Alchemy Saint is revealed, but I let you go at that time. However, if the matter regarding this pill will be spread, I can assure you that your Alchemy Hall will no longer exist in this world.”
Theia's cold words were filled with killing intent, making the atmosphere on the second floor become extremely cold.
Qi Hongtian and Master Fengzi hurriedly nodded their heads like toy drums as thick beads of sweat flowed down their wrinkled cheeks.
Hu Xiandao gulped in fear and said with a trembling voice. “Y-Young M-Nona Theia, I promise that this will never be known by others ..”
Theia glanced coldly at the two old alchemists and they instantly understood her intentions, so they hurriedly made an oath to heaven.
“With the sky as a witness, I swear that I will never reveal this to anyone else!”
Theia's cold gaze eased a little, but she still stared at them one last time before she left the second floor.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after he came down.
