The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 29 The Four Swords and the Five Swords
A short while later, a group of three middle-aged men walked into the store with curious gazes. They had heard many exaggerated stories about the store. And encouraged by their curiosity, the three brothers decided to visit the shop selling wine with effects similar to precious herbs.
Jiu Shen sensed their familiar aura so he opened his eyes to look at them. After seeing their faces, he was a little surprised. ‘Isn't this an ant..eh I mean the people I randomly saved on the outskirts of the Endless Forest? Why are they here?’
He remembered that they were cultivators that he had saved randomly during the ‘’-way<TAG1> in the Endless Forest. He was moved by their friendship so he decided to save them. Who knew that the three of them would come and visit his shop? Sometimes fate is really good at playing games.
He opened up his spiritual power to eavesdrop on their conversation. After listening for a while, he gained the gist of their story.
According to them, they had heard countless rumors about a magic shop selling precious wine capable of true essence within the body of a cultivator. Of course, they did not believe the rumor especially after learning that it was from an unknown store. But because of their curiosity, they decided to visit his shop and try his own wine.
Jiu Shen suddenly became disinterested. He drank the rest of his wine bottle and closed his eyes to meditate.

Later that night, outside Jiu Shen's shop. Two silhouettes wrapped in black tight clothes slowly crept towards the shop. “Is this the shop Elder Ming told us to destroy?” One of them spoke in a slow and hoarse voice.
“According to Fatty Xue, this is the place that Elder Ming wanted to be destroyed. I wonder what people are doing from this store to make elder Ming angry like that.” The other person replied in a slightly curious voice.
“Don't care too much about that. Fatty Xue told us that there are two peerless beautiful women here. Hehe! Fatty wants us to kidnap them and take them both unscathed.”.
“Hehe! I know what you're thinking, fourth brother. How can we give that beauty to that fat person without giving them a taste?”
“Really! Let's do it fast. Other noble families definitely do not know that this is done by us.”
The two deftly climbed onto the second floor of the shop. Their actions were neat and skillful as if they had done a similar thing before. In fact, they were assassins trained by Elder Ming to become the Xue Family's sword in the dark. They had killed many people who had provoked the Xue Family. Even some of their enemies in business did not escape.
Among the five of them, they were the weakest in terms of strength. But regardless, they had the ability to kill a rank 7 Emperor if it was careless.
“Fifth brother, you go and open the window slowly.” One of them whispered softly.
Another person nodded his head and placed his hand on the window before pulling it lightly. He frowned after seeing that the window remained motionless. He applied more force to his grasp only to realize that the window did not even move an inch. ‘What is this window made of?! It should have been destroyed after I applied that much power.’
Sword Five nodded helplessly and took a step back. ‘What's wrong with this window? It's not made of heavenly metal, is it?’ The Five Swords thought inwardly with dissatisfaction.
Actually, after Jiu Shen used the store expansion package, the entire part of the store was renovated by the system. After the renovation, from the roof to the floor is now made from the Safarwood Sacred Ground. It was also the reason why Jiu Shen felt reluctant to step on the floor. In addition, the lights were also made from the Undying Luminous Pearl. Just from its name alone, it was a pearl that radiated light for eternity. The light will not die unless one destroys the pearl.
Sword Four's face wrinkled as he tried to open the window. ‘What the fuck?! What is this shit made of?!’
Jiu Shen who was sitting inside her room had long noticed the two ants trying to open the window of Theia's room. It was just that he was too lazy to bother with their theatrics.
He opened a bottle of Deep Sea Spring Dew and calmly watched the entire show with his spiritual power. “I wonder why these ants dig their own graves ..” He muttered to himself with a confused expression on his face.
After greedily inhaling the scent of wine, he drank several mouthfuls at once. “Hehe! Theia was getting impatient. Looks like those ants are going to die.”.
Sword Four became impatient after being unable to open the window. He seemed to have forgotten Fatty Xue's warning to act silently as he gathered the true essence in his body towards his right fist and punched the window with all his strength.
“Bang!”
Like an egg trying to break a stone, the fist of the Four Swords was torn apart. He grimaced in pain as he felt his body go numb from the pain.
“Fourth sister, are you okay?” Sword Five asked in a worried tone after seeing the state of Sword Five. His fourth brother was a little stronger than him, but he was not even able to smash the shop windows.
This was the first time they had suffered such a setback. They could not even catch a glimpse of their target and they were already helpless.
“Fifth sister, this place is not as simple as it looks. We have to go now!” Sword Four gnashed his teeth in pain and said anxiously.
“Do you think I will let you two go after causing a commotion here?” A cold voice echoed behind them causing them to almost jump in fear.
When the two of them turned around, they saw a peerless beautiful young lady. He was wearing a translucent white nightshirt that barely covered his sensitive area. Her long blonde hair fluttered with the wind as she stared at the two men coldly.
“He flew! He was at least Divine rank 8! Damnit!” The two men shouted in unison.
