The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 287 The Chained Tiger
‘ the shit! Calm. I need to calm down! That man's power I can't see through. I can only give him that spiritual plant to make him go away. Since my clan failed to learn its uses and properties, I might as well give it to that person to play with. If I manage to make that damn tiger talk about the existence of that Glacial Sovereign Tiger, I might be able to awaken my Savage Thunder Lion bloodline! At that time, I will look for this person and pay back this humiliation tenfold!’ The old man cried out in his heart as he walked into the cave where he lived.
The narrow space became wider and the light emanating from the torch illuminated the dark cave. In the furthest corner of the cave was a group of tigers tied up with metal chains. Their figures were drenched and pitiful, but their flashing pair of eyes shone with extreme hostility as they sensed the arrival of the old man.
The old man laughed mockingly when he saw their expressions. He then ignored them and headed straight for a different angle. In that part of the cave were dozens of high-tier spiritual plants!
The old man stopped and crouched down in front of the small spiritual plant with purple leaves. It emitted a gloomy aura when the old man touched it.
“This plant is still very stubborn. Even after I exterminated his soul, he was still able to recognize me.” Muttered the old man while wiping his hand. The gloomy aura of the spiritual plant disappeared after the swift movement of his hand.
He then carefully dug the plant out of the ground and placed it in a small flower pot made of mud. If Jiu Shen was here, he would slap the old man to death for handling the spiritual plant in such a rude manner.
After putting the plant in the flower pot, the old man glanced at the group of chained tigers one last time before he left the cave.

Outside the cave, Jiu Shen followed the old man with his spiritual vision and he also found a small collection of his spiritual plants. When he saw the spiritual plant with purple leaves, he was a little surprised.
“Simmer Hallucination Flower ..” He muttered the name of the spiritual plant when he saw it. This plant was indeed an Origin Rank spiritual plant and grew in a place filled with the corpses of powerful beings. This Murmurous Hallucination Flower sucked the yin energy from the corpse to encourage its growth, making it develop a strange hallucinatory power. It was also because of this that he got such a name.
Jiu Shen continued to observe the Grim Hallucination Flower and he discovered that the flower was slowly dying. This did not surprise him as this kind of spiritual plant should not be planted inside the cave.
“This stupid little lion. He actually planted such a delicate flower inside his stinking cave.” Jiu Shen muttered to himself.
The old man was shocked when he saw Jiu Shen enter his cave. He blocked his field of vision and pointed to the spiritual plant he was holding as he casually said nonsense. “Dear friends, this is the spiritual plant I'm talking about. I have been with him for a few months now and I take good care of him. Looky. The purple leaves are numerous and healthy. From the looks of it, this thing might even bear fruit that might be able to help our cultivation progress, but since I am not doomed with it, I will give this to you.”
Jiu Shen ignored the fabricated story and took the plant from the old man's hands. He then placed it inside his outer space earrings. The Hallucination Flower of Grim was on the verge of death, and this little brat actually dared to tell him that the leaves were healthy and plentiful? Is this kid retarded?
The old man was horrified when he discovered that the spiritual plant in his hand had completely disappeared. He did not even see how Jiu Shen snatched it from him, and at this moment, he could finally realize the huge difference in their strength.
‘Whether he was also an expert of the Origin God Realm or could he be ..’ The old man became even more horrified when he thought of a possibility. The eyes he used to look at Jiu Shen also turned into respect and fear.
“Honored friend, I have kept my promise. Can you now leave our Lion Clan? I'll be very grateful to you and I promise that our Lion Clan will be your eternal friend.” The old man hurriedly said as he looked at Jiu Shen's unchanging expression.
“Brat, it looks like you are hiding some small children here.” Jiu Shen said as he pushed the old man away with one hand. He then walked inside the cave under the worried gaze of the old man.
‘He actually managed to push me away with just one hand... Who is this guy?! I don't remember provoking such an impressive individual ..’ He muttered in his heart when he saw Jiu Shen walking inside the deepest part of his cave. He could not even do anything to stop this crazy human from entering his territory…
A group of chained tigers heard a series of footsteps. They immediately glared hatefully at the darkness, but when they saw an unknown face walking towards them, they became confused. The old lion was very unfriendly and never let anyone else into the cave where he lived, so who was this human?
The heavily injured tiger looked at Jiu Shen warily. They could not feel any hostility from this man, but they did not take their eyes off of him.
“Good that some of you are still alive. I came here under the guidance of the Glacial Sovereign Tiger, so don't strain. I'll help you escape from this place.” The calm words of the humans made the chained tiger dumbfounded.
At this moment, Jiu Shen saw the emotional gazes of the two tigers among this group when he mentioned about the Glacial Sovereign Tiger. Seeing this, he heaved a sigh of relief …
