The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 195 The Shocked Emperor Elyk
Jiu Shen hid the Demon Crystal and the Blue Fire Lotus. The first item was prepared for Hu Xiandao, while the last one was prepared for his wine recipe.
“Master, how will you repair this broken sword.” Lu Sulan asked as he looked at the sword box in his hand. Lying inside this sword box was the broken sword Lu Sulan had won in the auction.
Jiu Shen glanced at him calmly and explained. “It is not too difficult to repair this sword. It's just, we need some ingredients before I can fix it. The body of this sword was not broken, but the sharpness and malleability of this sword was greatly affected after being allowed to rust for thousands of years. We need some rare metals and other resources to sharpen this sword. For his flexibility, I can refine it again using array formations. I'll give you a list of items later, and you'll have to collect them first before I can start repairing this sword.”
Although the sword was indeed a true Origin God Weapon, it was extremely damaged and it would be difficult for ordinary weapon makers to repair it, but to Jiu Shen, this was absolutely no problem! He had also learned the art of weapon-making in his past life and his achievements in it were even more outstanding compared to his alchemy abilities.
“I understand, sir.”
Lu Sulan felt a little disappointed when he heard that. Yet he knew that the manufacture of weapons was not as easy as what his master had said. In the entire Profound Dragon Continent, there were only a few high-tier weapon makers and they were all respected individuals with deep levels of cultivation. It wasn't easy to contact them, and someone needed a lot of resources to pay so they could make weapons.
Lu Sulan was also surprised that someone needed to become a weapon maker in order for them to repair the damaged weapons, and the weapons in his hands were not just ordinary weapons, so the fact that his master could repair them was a bit surprising to him. .
‘So aside from his high master cultivation level, and high mastery in alchemy, he is also a peak level weapon maker? He even mentioned about the array formation. Is he also the Array Formation Maker?’ Lu Sulan felt himself dizzy just by thinking about it.
“Don't think too much about this. You can start looking for materials after the martial arts competition is over. For now, you should focus your attention on this contest. You can see the progress of your students through their battles. This is a valuable opportunity for them, so you should not take this lightly.” Jiu Shen said as he patted Lu Sulan's shoulder.
“Ya sir.”
Lu Sulan nodded his head respectfully.
“Wine Master Jiu! Sect Madam Lu! How's auction? Are you surprised by the items being auctioned? Hahaha!” The familiar voice of Emperor Elyk sounded beside their ears.
The Emperor had a wide smile on his face as he walked towards Jiu Shen's group. Following behind him were his three sons and his only daughter. The second prince was not present because he excused himself before the auction ended.
Lu Sulan clenched his fists towards the emperor as he greeted. “Yang Mulia.”
“No need for formalities, Madam Sect Lu. By the way, where do you guys plan to rest tonight?” Emperor Elyk asked with a smile.
“Cannot be! That's not gonna work! How about this. Your group will come with us to the imperial palace and I will have my people arrange accommodation for you. What say?” The Emperor Elyk.
The crown prince and the third prince frowned when they heard that, but they did not voice their thoughts. They had seen how their father had reacted when the second prince was against Jiu Shen, so they simply kept quiet and hid their disapproval in their hearts.
Lu Sulan thought that it was a good idea because they could save a lot of time if they could come with the emperor inside the imperial palace, he said, but he still turned his head to look at Jiu Shen to ask for his opinion. “Master, what do you think of this?”
Jiu Shen was silent for a moment before he finally nodded his head. “Good. We can go with you, Elyk, but I don't want people to interrupt our break after we arrive at the imperial palace.” He said nonchalantly. These words made the crown prince curse silently in his heart. He had already planned to make things difficult for Jiu Shen's group once they were already inside the imperial palace, but it seemed impossible to do so now.
Emperor Elyk slightly furrowed his brows. He could sense that Jiu Shen had deliberately said those words, but he still nodded his head with a smile. “Don't worry, Wine Master Jiu. I'll have my imperial guards protect your room, so you don't have to worry about this.”
“Then, I accept your offer.” said Jiu Shen.
Emperor Elyk burst into laughter as he led everyone to the imperial palace. He was flattered to have Jiu Shen in his house.
“Wine Master Jiu, these kids look familiar. Did they..” Emperor Elyk's voice disappeared as he stared at the young man behind Jiu Shen. He was unable to see them any closer when he walked into the fourth VIP room of the auction house as he focused on his conversation with Jiu Shen. However, he could now see that the young men behind Jiu Shen were clearly part of the hundred slaves he had given to Jiu Shen!
“No need to guess. They are indeed among the group of slaves that you brought to me.” Jiu Shen replied calmly, but she felt a little pride in her heart because she was the one who nurtured them from the start.
Emperor Elyk was stunned and he could not help but look more clearly at the youths. His eyes widened and he felt disbelief. ‘What the fuck?! If I remember correctly, the children I brought that day had not started cultivating yet. Why are these kids this strong?! The strongest among their group was even at the initial stage of the 4th ranked Knight Crusader realm! How Wine Master Jiu trained them..’.
“This ... After more than a month, you can train these children to become the elite of the younger generation. In the entire continent, I think only you are capable of achieving this, Wine Master Jiu.” Emperor Elyk did not skimp on flattery as he was too astonished by the growth of the youths.
The crown prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth princess were stunned after hearing the emperor's words. These youths only took over a month to reach their current cultivation level? Even the fifth princess and the fourth prince who were recognized as the most talented young man in the younger generation of the Silver Wing Empire took several years to reach their current cultivation level, so how could this not surprise them?
Jiu Shen remained silent after hearing the emperor's praise, but an invisible smile appeared on his lips for a moment.
