The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 371 I Need A Cleaner In The Wine Shop
‘Wait. I cannot feel the cultivation level of this young man. That means he's at least stronger than me. If that was the case, there should be some truth in his words. I have nothing to lose anymore even if he lied ..’ The old man thought deeply to himself. He had just worked early because his cursed eyes caused damage to him and his friends during their youth. That was also the reason why he sealed his own eyes using a secret technique.
“Red Eyes Fire King you mentioned this, can you tell me more about it?” The old man changed his tone as he asked Jiu Shen with a hint of respect.
Jiu Shen looked at him calmly as he replied. “The Fire Lord Crimson Eye is a unique ability that only those who come from nobles possess. A person who possessed the Fire Lord Crimson Eye would have the ability to see the world in great detail. Even the smallest detail cannot escape from it. Having this unique ability will also increase one's affinity with the fire element and can even increase your spiritual power. However, if you do not have the necessary knowledge on how to control this ability, it will be dangerous. I think you've experienced it..”.
The old man nodded his head seriously after hearing his words. He was also stunned when he learned that the cursed eye he had was actually a great and powerful ability! “Do you really have a way to help me control it?”
“Of course, but you've been sealing your eyes for over a thousand years, so I have to wake her up again. We need to concoct Origin level medicinal pills so that you can awaken them by force.” Jiu Shen replied briefly.
The old man was originally happy, but when he heard the last part of Jiu Shen's words, he sighed. He knew what an Origin ranked pill was, so he knew how difficult it was to make it. He had a friend who was once known as the top alchemist of the entire Profound Dragon Continent, but he had left this world… There was no one else he knew who had the ability to concoct pills at this level.
Sighs…
“I can concoct this pill and I even have a full set of ingredients needed to refine this pill.” Jiu Shen suddenly said when he heard****** the old man.
The old man raised his head with a surprised expression. “You're an alchemist? But I thought you were a cultivator. Sorry, I didn't mean anything by my words, but I just felt surprised. Huh... I'm getting old..”.
After being silent for a while, the old man raised his head and looked into Jiu Shen's eyes. “If you can help me reawaken the Fire Lord's Red Eye and control this power, I will do anything to repay you. I may be old, but I was once one of the top experts on the continent.”.
After hearing the old man's solemn promise, Jiu Shen's lips curved slightly upwards. “Actually, I lack a sweeper in my wine shop..”
Hm? He wants me to be his wine shop sweeper? The old man felt that Jiu Shen was mocking him, but when he saw the young man's calm expression, he thought that he might be serious. However, did he really agree to be a mere sweeper? Answer is…
“Sure. I'm old and I don't like fighting anymore. I've been cleaning my old friend's tombstone for hundreds of years, so I don't mind being a sweeper at your wine shop. Maybe it's nice ending for a guy like me.” The old man forced a sad smile. He had long since lost his interest in becoming the top expert in the world. The only reason why he wanted to revive his Fire King's Red Eye was because of the regret of his past.
“What did you say?!” The old man was holding onto Jiu Shen's clothes, his beard going up and down as he panted.
“I said that the demons there are quite friendly.” Jiu Shen replied without changing his expression.
“You mean your wine shop is really in the Red Demon Continent? That spot? You-” The old man took a deep breath and sighed.
“Now, I don't know if this will be a good ending for me or not.” The old man muttered with a hollow laugh.
Jiu Shen patted his shoulder as he said. “Do not worry, you will not regret it ..”
The old man raised his head to look at Jiu Shen, but he no longer had the energy to answer. He felt like he was being tricked by a scammer, but it was too late to retract his words. Since he had already made up his mind, he might as well believe in his choices.
Seeing the old man's desperate expression, the three women standing behind Jiu Shen chuckled silently. They felt that the scene was rather funny and funny.
“Good. I will begin pill refining in a moment. You should stay away so as not to disturb me in the pill refining process. You don't want anything wrong in this, do you?” Jiu Shen said with a smile.
The old man felt as if he was an expelled fly, but he simply nodded his head involuntarily. Although he was somewhat annoyed by Jiu Shen's attitude, he was also curious whether the young man was honest with his words. After all, he was planning to concoct an Origin rank pill. Even his late friend had a hard time when he was refining pills at that level.
“Wait. Are you planning to refine pills here?” The old man suddenly asked while staring around. It was full of old tombstones and weeds. That place was obviously not suitable for refining pills, especially the highly ranked ones.
Jiu Shen looked at the old man as if he was looking at an idiot. “Of course. Is there something wrong with that?” For Jiu Shen, there was no problem in refining pills anywhere. As long as no one bothered him in the pill refining process, then the place was not too much of a problem.
The old man felt like spewing blood when he saw the gaze Jiu Shen gave him. He waved his lifeless hand as he muttered. “Good. Alright. Just do what you want...”.
