The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 162 Consolidating Power
Liuli, the owner of the Green Wood Pavilion went to the secret room. Inside the room, there was a simple wooden chair and table, and there was a fist-sized crystal ball on the table that emitted a dull and dim white light.
He then turned on the lights inside the room before he sat down on the only chair inside.
“That woman is just a 7th rank Emperor cultivator, but that man .. I cannot detect her cultivation level at all no matter how I look at it. I do not believe that someone with such temperament is just a normal man. Let me see who you really are.” Liuli muttered to herself as she placed her hand on a fist-sized crystal ball while muttering an incomprehensible spell.
A moment later, the crystal ball suddenly lit up, and an image could be seen inside the crystal ball. On a closer look, the scene playing inside the crystal ball was actually Jiu Shen and Xia Xinyue's room.
Liuli saw Jiu Shen and Xia Xinyue were on the bed. The first one sat cross-legged with his eyes tightly closed and he seemed to be cultivating. On the other hand, Xia Xinyue was sitting in one corner of the bed while looking at Jiu Shen's side profile.
Liuli furrowed her brows upon seeing this scene, and right then and there, she saw Jiu Shen who had just closed her eyes a moment ago suddenly open her eyelids. He then glanced straight at a random angle as if he had already noticed that someone was looking at them.
The last scene Liuli saw was Jiu Shen flicking his right arm before the vision inside the crystal ball disappeared.
“Hehe. It seems my guess is correct. The man was not an ordinary person at all, but.. Who was he?” He muttered with a contemplating look. There were only a handful of people who could enter his eyes, but he knew almost all the experts in the Profound Dragon Continent. However, he did not know who Jiu Shen was…
* * *
Jiu Shen glanced at the broken crystal ball that was lying inconspicuously in one corner of their room. Previously, he had felt someone was watching them through the crystal ball, so he immediately destroyed it without hesitation. He didn't want the feeling of being watched when he was in a vulnerable state, so he felt a little angry with this. “Owner Liuli... That woman actually dared to watch over me? Hm... I will punish you later.” Jiu Shen muttered with a cold smile before closing his eyes.
Xia Xinyue also saw Jiu Shen destroy the crystal ball, and when she heard his words, she instantly became furious. “That seductress! I know he's no good! Hmph!”
Jiu Shen was now at the early stages of the Nascent God Realm and he could be considered one of the strongest beings in Nuar at the moment. Even the god beasts rumored in the Heavenly Beast Continent should not be as strong as him, either, but it was uncertain as there might be a more powerful god beast than a Nascent Divine Realm cultivator residing in the Heavenly Beast Continent.
After eating two Cultivation Fruits, Jiu Shen's strength experienced a qualitative improvement. Not only had his cultivation prowess increased, even his physical body and spiritual strength had also reached the Nascent God Realm! Moreover, the lightning strikes produced by the God Annihilation God Eye also helped him in strengthening and strengthening his territory. Now, he just needs to consolidate all his profits and he will be fine.
‘This time, I really get a lot. I don't think that I will actually summon the God Annihilation God's Eye when I just break through to the Nascent God Realm, either, then what kind of tribulation lightning will I summon if I decide to break through to the Heavenly God Realm in the future? Sighs. There is no point in thinking about this now as it is still a long time before I can recover my previous cultivation level.’ Jiu Shen thought in his heart.
The cultivation level after the 9th rank Saint realm was as follows:
The Realm of the Gods was Newly Born
The Origin God Realm
The Ancestral God Realm
The Sovereign God Realm
The Heavenly God Realm
The Heavenly God Realm
In his past life, Jiu Shen needed several billion years before he reached the Heavenly God Realm, so it was unknown if he needed how many years to reach the previous level of strength in this life. However, he was optimistic about his cultivation speed with the help of the system.
Xia Xinyue became restless as time went on, but she did not dare to disturb Jiu Shen because she knew that she was at a critical point in her cultivation.
“He should be finished anytime now. Should I call the waiter to bring us some food? Okay, it's decided.” Xia Xinyue muttered softly before she stood up to suppress the alarm. He then told a waiter to bring food to their room.
Not too long later, Xia Xinyue heard a series of gentle knocks on their door, so she hurriedly stood up to open it because she did not want to disturb Jiu Shen.
After opening the door, Xia Xinyue looked at Liuli, the owner of the building holding a stroller with a tray containing various delicious foods. Xia Xinyue frowned when she saw Liuli and she immediately revealed a hostile expression.
The first one stepped out of their room before closing the door.
“Young Miss, this is the food you ordered. Do you want me to help you put it in your room?” Liuli asked with a charming smile as she looked at Xia Xinyue's annoyed expression amusedly.
Xia Xinyue inhaled a breath of warm air before she replied in a cold voice. “You don't have to do that, Owner Liuli. I'll bring him in myself.”
Liuli smiled as she nodded her head. “Then, I will leave this train here. After you eat, just press the alarm to call the waiter to bring this back after you use it.”
Xia Xinyue nodded impatiently. He then opened the door of their room and grabbed the carriage before pushing it in. “Owner Liuli, I advise you not to anger Sect Master. You don't want to be enemies with him.” Xia Xinyue's cold voice was filled with warnings, and just as Liuli was about to reply, Jiu Shen and Xia Xinyue's room door was already closed.
Slam it!
“This woman's face is rather fiery. Hehe! To think that he actually dared to threaten me. It's been a long time since someone has such guts. Interesting couple!” Liuli smiled as she looked at the closed door with a mysterious glint in her eyes. It was as if he wanted to make a hole in it.
In the room.
Xia Xinyue pushed the wagon near the bed as she looked at Jiu Shen who was still sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed. Just this time he dared to look at his handsome face with unblinking eyes. “I just hope my suspicions about Sect Master are not true, but how do I know about the truth? Should I do that.it..” He muttered in a voice like a mosquito.
Just then, Jiu Shen slowly opened his eyelids, revealing a pair of golden pupils. Before he reached the Nascent God Realm, his eyes were still silver in color, but after his breakthrough, it suddenly turned into gold. Moreover, his vision had also strengthened and he no longer needed to use his spiritual perception to detect illusions. He did not know why his eyes had become like this, but it was most likely related to his Divine Mouth Physique.
Seeing those unfathomable golden eyes, Xia Xinyue suddenly sunk into her own thoughts as if she was being tricked by the depths of her eyes.
“Older Xia.” Jiu Shen called out softly as she jumped off the bed.
Xia Xinyue broke away from her stupor when she heard Jiu Shen's charming voice, and she couldn't help but put on a meek look. He was actually captured by Jiu Shen when he was still staring at him, what a shame!
“Ah... This... Sect Master L-Lord, please eat this. Although you no longer need to eat foods with your current strength, the feeling of eating something is still pleasant. Furthermore, this is the best dish of the Wood Green Pavilion.” Xia Xinyue hid her embarrassment as she spoke with a smile.
Jiu Shen did not want to refuse when he saw her excited expression, so he immediately agreed. “Then join me to eat this delicious meal, Elder Xia.”
Xia Xinyue's lips curved upwards when she heard his words, and she nodded her head excitedly. She felt very happy when Jiu Shen invited her to eat with him. Even though it was only a small thing, he still felt happy about it. She was usually a cold and detached woman like most elders and disciples of the Ice Cloud Sword Sect, but in front of Jiu Shen, she was like a young woman in her teens.
The two sat side by side as they ate food on the tray. They revealed satisfied expressions as they stuffed the food into their mouths.
