The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 338 Strolling Calmly In The Forest
Demon Ancestor Jun stared at the menu in his thin and withered hands. There are pictures of some wines drawn on a sheet of laminated paper and there are also lines of words next to each image, which indicate the name and price of the wine.
Mystic Jade – 1 Blood Stone
Ables Blanc – 5 Blood Stones
Origin Frozen – 55 Blood Stones
Deep Sea Spring Dew – 120 Blood Stones
Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit – 500 Blood Stones
The gloomy eyes of the old demon shone with disbelief after glancing at the price of the wine, but when he recalled the effects mentioned by the four Demon Lords, his gaze slowly softened. ‘The price is too expensive for a bottle of wine. However, if what my subordinates say is correct, then this price would be too cheap for such a treasure.’
The old demon's gaze was locked onto the wine mentioned by his subordinates.
Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit - 500 Blood Stones
This amount would certainly scare most of the demons, but for someone like Demon Ancestor Jun, this much Blood Stone was nothing.
“Burlock, give me a bottle of Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit.” The old demon said to Burlock while pointing at the picture drawn on the menu.
Burlock took the menu from the old demon's hand and smiled politely at him. “Good.” He then glanced at the four Demon Lords and asked for their orders.
“Burlock's brother, I've tasted Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit. This time I want to try Deep Sea Spring Dew. Oh, and uh. Add also one bottle of Frozen Origin.” Zorzoch handed the menu to Burlock as he said his order.
“I will receive the same command as Brother Zorzoch.” Zagan, the giant demon, smiled at Burlock.
“Brother Burlock, I want one order for every wine except Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit.” Azgonoth said with a hint of anticipation. He was subdued by the heavenly sense of the Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit and he was eager to try the rest of the wine sold in the store.
Sitting beside him, Physoris chuckled in shock upon hearing Azgonoth's orders. He also wanted to try the other four wines, but he wanted to maintain his elegant demeanor in front of the Demon Ancestor, so he ruled in his will. “Brother Burlock, give me a bottle of Deep Sea Spring Dew and Ables Blanc.”
Demon Ancestor Jun glanced deeply at Burlock's proud figure for a moment before turning his gaze to the inside of the shop. To be honest, he was amazed by the grand and impressive design of the lotus building. The outside of the shop looked elegant and dazzling, while the inside was full of luxury and grandeur. Even His Majesty's imperial palace was not as beautiful as this lotus building!
Demon Ancestor Jun turned his gaze towards the Origin rank spiritual flower planted in a small pot. They exuded true essence in a lively and dense amount, making the store refreshing and full of vitality. The scent of the orchid flower made the old demon pores quietly suck the air around it. ‘I don't even have a single Origin rank spiritual flower in my residence, but this place has dozens of flowers. From the looks of it, the owner did not even consider these precious flowers important. Sigh.’
Demon Ancestor Jun sighed in his heart. At this moment, he believed that this shopkeeper should be an expert who used his spiritual perception to scan the entire Morlon City recently. However, the old demon was wondering what this mysterious owner would do in this city.

In a forest filled with dense foliage, Jiu Shen walked calmly with his hands behind his back. There were many carnivorous trees and spiritual plants around, but Jiu Shen remained undisturbed. Every step he took left a trail of ice on the grassy ground that slowly made the surrounding temperature drop.
A few intrepid carnivorous trees suddenly extended their thorny roots towards Jiu Shen, intending to stab him to death. Some ferocious spiritual plants also shot out thousands of needle-like thorns at him.
Holy hooch! Holy hooch! Holy hooch!
Jiu Shen's expressionless face remained unchanged. It was as if the attack pointing towards him was something nothing to worry about. Suddenly, his golden eyes flashed and the space around Jiu Shen seemed to slow down.
At this moment, he could see thousands of needle-like thorns hanging in the air as well as thorny roots that would hit his face. Facing this scene, Jiu Shen raised his finger and a drop of crystal-clear water shot out from his fingertips. This small wisp of water suddenly grew larger and enveloped Jiu Shen's entire body like a shield.
Time returned to normal and the needle-like thorns quickly attacked Jiu Shen, but before they could even touch his body, the thin sheath of water around Jiu Shen turned these sharp spines into thin pieces of ice before they shattered into spots.dust! The thorny roots are no better. They also turned into ice and broke into small pieces!
The water sheath around Jiu Shen had the power of ice! And its extremely easy controls make it look amazing without a match!
If others witnessed this absurd scene, their eyes would pop out of their sockets. The carnivorous spiritual plants and trees around Jiu Shen were at least of Origin rank, but he cared for them without even the slightest effort!
When the spiritual plants sensed Jiu Shen's overwhelming power, they hurriedly ran away from him, fleeing in all directions. The area around Jiu Shen suddenly became devoid of trees and spiritual plants…
Looking at the fleeing spiritual plant, Jiu Shen chuckled lightly. He did not care about these ‘ little things’ because his main purpose of going here was to look for Frigid Moonlight Sunflower, the core ingredient of his wine recipe.
“I'm almost there. Hopefully those ‘ little things’ did not scare off that stalk of the Cold Moon Light Sunflower.” Jiu Shen muttered to himself.
