The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 184 Auction?
Lu Sulan saw Jiu Shen come out of the beast fighting arena, so he had his students walk faster. After getting closer, he was a little surprised to see the ten young men behind Jiu Shen because he knew who they were. ‘These kids. Aren't they part of the young man personally trained by the master? How did their strength and cultivation level increase by this much in such a short amount of time?! Looking at their auras, their cultivation seemed to be stable and not faltering at all! Just incredible! Only the master can achieve this. Hehe.’
After a moment of astonishment, a smile fluffed on Lu Sulan's face as he stared at Jiu Shen. “Greetings, sir.”
The ten young ladies behind Lu Sulan also bowed respectfully as they greeted Jiu Shen in a soft voice. “Greetings, grandmaster.”
The group of young men behind Jiu Shen glanced at this young lady curiously, and they were quite surprised when they sensed that their cultivation level was actually the same or even greater than their own.
Jiu Shen smiled at Lu Sulan before he glanced at the ten women behind him. He knew four of them because they were the first servants in his shop. They were Xiao Hua and his three friends. Xiao Hua was still at the peak stage of the 4th rank Knight Crusader realm, but it wouldn't be long before he could break through to the next realm. As for the three friends, although they were weaker than Xiao Hua, they were all at the early stage of the 4th ranked Knight Crusader realm.
“This is Lu Sulan, my first student. Come and greet him.” Jiu Shen gestured to the youths behind him as he introduced Lu Sulan. They already knew who he was because they had always seen Lu Sulan with Jiu Shen, so they immediately greeted him respectfully.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Lu.”
Lu Sulan smiled at them for a moment before he turned his gaze to his master. He then asked her. “Master, do you also plan to let these kids join the martial arts competition?”
Jiu Shen nodded his head calmly as he replied. “Indeed. And since you're already here, you'd better come with us to the imperial palace to register.”
Lu Bulan's eyes sparkled and he nodded his head. “Ya, sir. We will follow you to the imperial palace.”
The young ladies behind him were also excited when they heard that. They had received Jiu Shen's guidance in sword techniques over the past month and their comprehension and skills had improved a little. Therefore, they treated him with respect and admiration.
Thus, Jiu Shen and Lu Sulan went to the imperial palace along with twenty young men and women.
Jiu Shen waved his right hand as he took out twenty-two flying swords using the wind element. The green-colored flying sword that was about two meters long and twelve inches wide was hovering three meters above the ground.
“Wow! Is this a flying sword?”
“Keren! Grandmasters really do have this kind of skill. Amazing!”
Seeing this, everyone was astonished and they could only praise Jiu Shen, and even Lu Sulan was stunned by it. ‘Excellent wind element control! Even I can't do this.’.
“With this, we will arrive faster at the imperial palace. Everyone, climb onto this flying sword. Just sit cross-legged on a flying sword and I'll do the rest.” Jiu Shen said as he jumped onto one of the flying swords with graceful movements. Swoosh's.
Upon hearing his words, Yang Zenke, Han Sen, and their friends immediately jumped onto the sword and sat cross-legged with excited expressions. They were very happy to imagine flying across the sky with a flying sword.
“G-Grandmaster, we will not fall from this, right?” One of the young women behind Lu Sulan voiced her concern with a timid expression on her pretty face.
After hearing her words, the other young women also felt a little worried. Even though they were cultivators, they would still die if they fell from the sky …
Jiu Shen chuckled in his heart when he heard that, but he still looked solemn as he replied in a calm tone. “You don't have to worry about falling because I will be the one controlling the flight of this sword. And even if you fall, I'll save you soon.”
The young girls felt a lot after hearing that, and they immediately jumped onto the sword before sitting cross-legged. Their faces were pale and excited at the same time.
Lu Sulan smiled apologizing to his master. Her students might have a strong cultivation level for their age, but they had yet to experience a life and death situation that made them no different from ordinary girls.
“Master, I heard that there will be an auction tonight at the Silver Dragon Auction House. And I heard that some rare treasures will also be auctioned. I want to see if this rumor is true.” Lu Sulan suddenly said.
Upon hearing that, Jiu Shen's curiosity stirred. Although Nuar's resources were bad and low-level for her, she somewhat missed the atmosphere inside the auction house, so she was somewhat interested in this.
“It looks like you've decided about this before. In that case, I will come with you to this auction and see if I can buy something for these youths.” Jiu Shen said.
A beautiful smile appeared on Lu Sulan's face after hearing that. “Good! I'll also take these little girls with me to gain experience.”
It did not take long for them to arrive at the imperial palace, and upon their arrival, they saw thousands of young people marching for the registration of the martial arts competition.
“Eh? So many people! Looks like we can't attend the auction tonight. They should have been the last participant who wanted to sign up.” Lu Sulan was a little annoyed and helpless when he saw the large number of people outside the imperial palace.
There are a hundred square battle platforms set up for the upcoming contest, and each platform is currently used to register young people who want to participate.
Seeing this, Jiu Shen furrowed his brows. ‘If we march now, we won't be able to register even until tomorrow. I have to tell Elyk about our arrival. He should be able to help us register faster.’
If anyone knew what Jiu Shen was thinking right now, they would definitely not know whether to laugh or cry. He actually wanted the emperor to cut the queue for him …
