The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 129 Gives the Emperor a VIP Card
After Theia left the second floor, Hu Xiandao focused his attention on the changes in his body. He only realized now that the anma throughout his body was actually growing at a rapid speed!
He was already at the peak stage of the 7th rank Emperor realm in terms of physical strength and it would take him a few more years before he could reach the 8th rank heavenly realm, but seeing the minute changes happening within his body, he could faintly sense that he was about to break through!
Without delaying any further, he sat down cross-legged and directed the remaining life energy of the Body Reforging Heaven Pill to improve his physical body and strengthen his anma.
In addition to regrowing the severed limbs, the Body Reforging Heaven Pill was also able to nourish his anma which meant this Immortal Pill was also a supplement for body strengthening experts like him! Just the residual energy from the pill alone was actually enough to help him break through to the 8th rank heavenly realm! It was truly a magical treasure worthy of becoming an Immortal Pill!
The eyes of Qi Hongtian and Master Fengzi brightened when they noticed the change in Hu Xiandao's body. They became even more amazed by the effects of the Body Reforging Heaven Pill. Furthermore, the image of Jiu Shen purifying such a magic pill became even more glorious in their hearts. After all, refining pills at that level was impossible even for an Alchemy Saint. Only those who were in the Nascent God Realm were capable of concocting such pills.
Could Wine Master Jiu be…
Qi Hongtian and Master Fengzi glanced at each other as absurd thoughts came to their minds, making their hearts pound with fear and respect.
Seeing the old man's shocked gaze, Lu Sulan smiled proudly. He knew that they were thinking of his master, and other than his master, who else could make the supreme elder of the Alchemy Hall feel inferior? There ain't!
Hu Xiandao opened his eyes and a flickering of boundless power came out of his sight, making the air fluctuate irregularly. However, the atmosphere inside the second floor regained its calm in just the blink of an eye as if what happened earlier was just a misunderstanding.
Hu Xiandao stood up and clenched his fists tightly, producing a crackling sound that was filled with explosive force. Hu Xiandao smiled foolishly after sensing his new strength. It was unbelievable for him to achieve such a change in just a few minutes. This was the strength of a high-level alchemist!
With a satisfied smile on his face, Hu Xiandao glanced at Lu Sulan and said with gratitude. “I will not forget this grace, Sect Mistress Lu.” He cupped his hands in earnest and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional at the fact that he had now regrown his left arm. Although she looked somewhat calm on the surface, she was actually excited in her heart to finally regain her severed arm. Furthermore, he had even advanced to the 8th rank Divine Realm! Everything was too real so he still found it hard to believe, but the reality was already right before his eyes …
Lu Sulan smiled gently and shook his head. “Master Hu, if it wasn't for you saving me back then, I wouldn't be here right now. This is a gift of heaven for your good deeds, but of course, you still have to thank my master because he is the one who perfected this.Pill for you.”
Hu Xiandao nodded his head firmly and thought of Jiu Shen's expressionless face. He could not help but smile to gain his grace. Although he did not know about pill refining, he knew that Jiu Shen must have used up a lot of precious resources when he concocted the pill he had just consumed. He silently recalled the kindness in his heart and vowed to return here as soon as he finished reporting the details about the Earth Origin Dragon Tree.
“Don't worry, Madam Sect Lu. I will thank Wine Master Jiu personally.” Hu Xiandao smiled, but his smile was truly too terrifying to look at, even Lu Sulan could not help but laugh happily.
“Then I will not hold you for long, Mr. Hu. In addition, you still have to return to Mythos Wildlands to report about what happened yesterday.” Lu Sulan smiled gently at him as he spoke.
“Then I will say goodbye, Sect Mistress Lu.” Hu Xiandao cupped his fists at Lu Sulan once more before he walked down.
Lu Sulan smiled then turned his gaze to the two old men who were still wearing dumbfounded looks. “Guest, what do you want to order?”

On the first floor.
Emperor Elyk spoke to Jiu Shen kindly, while Jiu Shen acted as if he was listening, but his attention was actually on the second floor. When he felt an increase in strength in Hu Xiandao's physical body, he smiled faintly.
“Wine Mr. Jiu, let's come! I'll show you the hundred people you asked for.” Emperor Elyk thought that Jiu Shen was pleased with his attitude when he saw Jiu Shen's smile.
This time, Jiu Shen was also a little curious about what kind of person Emperor Elyk had brought for him, but he did not hold much hope in them as they were merely people who came from simple families. Despite this, he still hoped to see them.
“Elyk, lead the way.” Jiu Shen stood up from his chair and gently placed Ice on the floor, which instantly made the fat cat lift its claws with a dissatisfied look.
Meow!
“ Hahaha! Of course, Wine Master Jiu! Come on, follow me!”
Jiu Shen ignored Ice and followed behind Emperor Elyk with a hint of anticipation in his heart.
Under the astonished gazes of the customers, the two men walked out of the store.
The moment the emperor and Jiu Shen stepped out of the shop, the four guards and several dozen soldiers immediately lowered their heads and greeted in unison.
“We welcome you, Mr Wine Jiu!”
Their deep voices echoed in the now bustling street, making the crowd that saw it excited by what they heard.
“Emperor is actually here to visit Wine Master Jiu!”
“Of course! I've heard that they even became very close friends.”
The crowd chatted excitedly while looking at the figures of Jiu Shen and Emperor Elyk.
Emperor Elyk smiled shyly when he heard the words of the crowd, but he hurriedly hid them and carried Jiu Shen to the five large carriages at the end.
Jiu Shen glanced at the five carriages without any change in his expression, but Emperor Elyk had long expected this.
Each of the carriages was indeed large and sufficient to accommodate twenty people sitting close together.
“Men, get them out and meet their master!” Emperor Elyk ordered loudly.
“Yes Your Majesty!” The soldiers answered in unison and they immediately went to open the five carriages, making everyone see the faces of the young children inside. All of them were men with ages ranging from thirteen to seventeen. Most of these young men had thin and healthy figures. It could be seen that the emperor was truly sincere in this trade between him and Jiu Shen. He even brought people with the most powerful and powerful figures among the servants who had been trained by their Silveria Imperial Family. However, he did not feel that he had lost in this exchange since being friends with Jiu Shen was more than enough.
Jiu Shen nodded in satisfaction. He was quite satisfied with the children the emperor had brought.
“Elyk, I can feel your sincerity in this exchange. This is your VIP Card, not to be lost.” Jiu Shen took out the VIP Card from his outer space earrings and handed it to Emperor Elyk.
Emperor Elyk glanced at the small rectangular card in his hand and was a little fascinated by its stylish design. Its gold and black colors are very balanced and the impressive shop name makes it look both valuable and luxurious at the same time. “Wine Master Jiu, what good is it to have this card again?” He asked with a slightly excited expression.
Jiu Shen glanced at him calmly and replied. “With this card, you will get 20% off all your purchases in my store and you can also take one order for each wine and dish. Furthermore, you can also provide this for a while to your children so that they can access the second floor of my store.”
Emperor Elyk smiled widely when he heard his reply, but when he heard the last part of Jiu Shen's words, he couldn't help but be curious about this second floor. “Wine Master Jiu, is there anything special about the second floor of your store?” He asked as he looked at Jiu Shen curiously.
Jiu Shen was silent for a moment before he replied in an unhurried voice. “Only those in the realm of a rank 7 Emperor can ascend to the second floor. As for the special thing about it, you can go and check it out yourself.”
Emperor Elyk was now more curious about the second floor of the shop after hearing that only those in the 7th rank Emperor realm were allowed to go there.
“Then, I'll look inside.” Emperor Elyk smiled.
Jiu Shen nodded and replied. “No problem.”
Emperor Elyk chuckled after seeing that Jiu Shen was unwilling to lead the way for him, but he did not mind this small matter and walked in with a dignified look. “I'll be back, Mr. Wine Jiu.”
Jiu Shen ignored him and turned his gaze to the hundred young men who were looking at him with curious gazes. They did not look weak at all despite their young age and they seemed to have trained how to fight when looking at their smooth and growing muscles. They were supposed to be the next imperial guard army, but they were now here to serve Jiu Shen.
“Theia, find a suitable place for these kids and make sure it is big enough to make a training field for them. Quickly and immediately back.” Jiu Shen sent her message to Theia.
“Yes, Teacher. I'll finish it soon!” The soft voice of Theia floated inside Jiu Shen's head.
Right after his soft and pleasant voice ended, a shadow suddenly leaped out of Jiu Shen's shop with incomprehensible speed.
No one other than Jiu Shen saw the figure leaving the shop. It was as if he was the embodiment of lightning with his shocking speed!
“This is just the first step of my plan.” Jiu Shen muttered in his heart with a calm expression on his face.
