The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 155 – Beauty Doing Hard Work
After Jiu Shen released the array carving on the stone coffin, the golden radiance it emitted suddenly subsided, making it look like an ordinary stone coffin. Although Jiu Shen had disabled the array formation engraved on this stone coffin, he still did not lower his guard as there might be traps inside.
Without looking at Xia Xinyue, she said to him in a calm voice. “Elder Xia, back off a little. There may be something dangerous inside.”
Xia Xinyue nodded her head seriously when she heard Jiu Shen's words. He then took a few steps back while staring at the stone coffin with curiosity.
Jiu Shen directed his gaze to the coffin and muttered to himself. “The main material used in the manufacture of this stone crate is Purple Obsidian Stone which can hinder the use of spiritual perception. With my current spiritual strength, my spiritual perception is still unable to break through this stone coffin made of Purple Obsidian Stone.”
Jiu Shen tried to use his spiritual perception to catch a glimpse of what was inside the coffin, but an invisible force seemed to block his view. In the end, he could only open it to see what was inside this stone coffin.
Jiu Shen slowly pushed the lid of the stone coffin so that it let out a sound similar to a grinding stone. He relaxed his vigilance after seeing that there was nothing wrong with the stone coffin. And when he saw what was inside, Jiu Shen's eyes showed a pleasant surprised expression.
Inside the coffin was a half-dry corpse wearing an embroidered purple robe. The hands of the corpse were leaning against his chest where an intact book with a glittering silver cover could be seen.
Jiu Shen ignored the book because he had already seen what it was. It was a book about Formation Array, and it was definitely a book that cultivated this deceased expert into a high-level Formation Array Maker. Although it was precious, Jiu Shen had read many books that were many times better compared to that book. However, he would still see the book in the hands of the corpse later on as it might contain valuable information about the formation of the array. Finally, Jiu Shen's gaze was fixed on the space ring on the corpse's left index finger.
“The God's crystal should be inside this space ring. After getting it, my mission here will be finished.” Jiu Shen smiled as he extended his hand to the space ring.
Xia Xinyue nervously looked at Jiu Shen as she retrieved the space ring from the corpse's hand. Upon seeing that nothing was wrong, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Luck this expert still has a conscience before he dies ..”
Jiu Shen inspected the outer space ring and looked at the hundreds of God Crystals inside. There were also some miscellaneous items such as Earth Weapons, Heavenly Weapons, cultivation pills, and others.
Seeing this Jiu Shen felt a little excited because the system had mentioned that the God Crystal could help him increase his cultivation level. Although the number of these God Crystals was very small in his eyes, it was still a good harvest for him at the moment as it had many uses. However, he would keep it to himself as he had already planned to break through to the Nascent God Realm.
He then glanced at the book in the corpse's hand casually and read the contents of the book only to be disappointed. “Array Formation Book. What a low quality trash! This can be found in every sect of the Primordial God Realm ... Hm, I can give this to Sulan so that he can train some Array Formation Makers for the sect.”
Without hesitation, he placed everything inside his outer space earrings, including the contents of the space ring possessed by the deceased expert. He then threw the empty s.p.a.ce ring at the curious Xia Xinyue and said calmly. “The contents of the ring are useful to me, so I can only give this to you. Although it looks shabby, it is still much better compared to the regular space ring in Nuar.”
Xia Xinyue caught the space ring with a surprised expression. He became even more astonished when he realized that the space ring could actually increase the speed of his true essence circulation. It should be noted that if one's true essence circulation was fast, the time it took one to use their techniques would be much lower compared to those with a slower true essence circulation speed. With this, he would gain an advantage if he fought against cultivators of the same level of strength, and even if he met cultivators much stronger than him, he was not, he can still escape from them. Other than all of this, the space inside this ring was also many times larger than the one he had right now. The value of this space ring was not small just from the space within it. Not to mention its ability to increase the true essence circulation speed of its owner.
“Master Sect Master, thank you for your gift.” He said while bowing his head respectfully. In his heart, he had already sworn to follow Jiu Shen's orders faithfully.
Jiu Shen had no idea that she could earn the loyalty of this beautiful woman with just a space ring that she considered trash. He nodded his head at her and said in an indifferent tone. “Since we have already completed our mission here, we should leave this place now.”
Xia Xinyue lowered her head respectfully. “Yes, Sect Master, but what about the corpse of this expert?”
Jiu Shen thought for a moment before looking at the corpse inside the stone coffin. “Because we have taken his possessions, we must give him a proper burial.”
Xia Xinyue nodded in agreement. “Yes, Sect Master. I'll finish this soon.”
After saying those words, he immediately closed the stone coffin before searching for a place to dig. After finding the perfect spot, he started digging using his sword. Of course, he used his true essence as he dug the ground, making the excavation process quick, but seeing the sight of this beautiful woman doing the hard work, he said, it would definitely cause anyone sympathy and mercy, but Jiu Shen only glanced at this. with a poker face.
He then took a seat from his space earrings and looked at Xia Xinyue with an interested look after sitting in his chair. “This woman is not that bad. She knew what to do..” Mumbled with an amused expression.
– Ding!
– Side Missions: Collect God Crystals in mysterious caves. Complete!
– Loading Gifts!
– Receive Cultivation Fruit x2!
Jiu Shen heard the system notification to complete his mission, making him smile thinly. “With the help of two Cultivating Fruits and a God Crystal, I wonder how strong I will become ..”
His cultivation level was now at the late stage of a 9th rank Saint. Even though his strength was comparable to that of a Nascent Divine Realm expert with a Refined God Physique and a Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword, he still had to use a little effort when fighting against them. He might have defeated the puppet before but its strength was only comparable to an early stage New God Realm expert. Not to mention some of his strength was greatly eroded after a long time had passed.
Merely, just what kind of lightning tribulation would he face especially since he possessed the Sincere Physique of Gods? Even Jiu Shen did not know about it.
