The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 40 Master Fengzi
Jiu Shen and Lu Sulan stepped out of the Ice Cloud Sword Sect's ice castle amid inquiring gazes from the disciples guarding the entrance.
Lu Sulan gracefully tapped his feet and floated in the air like a heavenly elf. She still looks beautiful despite not being able to sleep last night due to her excitement.
He had searched for countless ways to relieve the pain he felt. He even ate some high-level spiritual herbs with the thought, that perhaps, it could help in his predicament. Who knew that even after eating it all, nothing had changed. In fact, the situation is getting worse by the day.
And now, Jiu Shen's sudden arrival made her regain her hope. ‘Maybe this person can help me cope with my situation.’ He thinks to himself.
And because of his strong excitement and desire, he was unable to meditate properly last night, causing him to feel a little weak and tired.
Jiu Shen took out a bottle of Deep Sea Spring Dew from his storage earrings and he handed it to Lu Sulan.
“Mistress of Lu Sect, this wine is called Deep Sea Spring Dew. It can help you lower the pain you are feeling and can also help you speed up your cultivation speed.” Jiu Shen said.
The Dew of the Deep Sea Spring contained the essence of Yin and Yang. And that was what Lu Sulan needed the most in his current situation.
His innate physique was the Verdant Flames Saintly Vermilion Body. It was a True Yang physique, and this kind of innate body required a True Yang technique to nurture it further. But Lu Sulan developed the secret technique of the Ice Cloud Sword Sect which was of True Yin in nature. This caused his Verdant Flames Saintly Vermilion Body to slowly grow weaker over time.
But since it was a holy body, it was not easy to suppress it. The Verdant Flames Saintly Vermilion Body consumed itself to remain active in Lu Sulan's body. This was also the root cause of the discomfort and pain he felt every time he cultivated.
Lu Sulan also did not stand on ceremony. After hearing that it could help him ease a bit of pain, he carefully received a bottle of wine. “Thank you, Mr. Jiu Shen.” He said with a grateful expression.
Jiu Shen nodded and flew beside him.
The Alchemy Hall was located within Beltran City, so it wasn't too far from the Ice Cloud Sword Sect's ice castle.
With their speed, they arrived in less than an hour.
In front of them was a tall tower with a scientific aura and atmosphere.
They landed on the ground causing a startled cry from the surrounding crowd of cultivators and mortals.
The cultivators knew that only rank 8 heavenly realm experts were capable of flight. So when they saw the two of them flying from above, their gazes were painted with excitement, curiosity, respect, jealousy, and other types of emotions.
“Look, those two seniors came down from the sky!”
“Eh?! Does that mean they are 8th rank heavenly realm experts?!”
As for humans, it was as if they had seen gods and goddesses especially with the otherworldly facial features of Jiu Shen and Lu Sulan.
Jiu Shen and Lu Sulan ignored the crowd as they walked inside the Alchemy Hall.
When the guards at the entrance saw Lu Sulan, they were shocked.
It wasn't the first time they saw him. In fact, they had seen him several times before, and every time he came out of the Alchemy Hall, he would always be accompanied by a branch head. They also saw him flying through the air.
With all the facts added together, they knew that he was someone with an important status. With a face full of flattery, they opened the door for the two of them and were able to enter inside without any problems.
A guard led them to the branch head office.
“Tok! Geck! Tok!”
“Who's outside the fucking door?! I'm concocting a high-tier pill here! Scram!” Angry cries echoed within the branch head room.
The guard turned pale and he hurriedly glanced at the two people behind him. He heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the two still looking calm. He was going to say something when…
“Mr Fengzi, it's me. I'm sorry for visiting you without prior appointment.” Lu Sulan said in a soft voice.
“Oh, so this is Sect Lady Lu? Wait, give me a minute here.” The old voice of an old man echoed once again within the branch head room, but this time, it sounded gentle and friendly.
The door opened slowly and revealed the face of an old man with disheveled hair. When he saw Lu Sulan's face, he smiled brightly and opened the door wide. “Haha! You are back, Sect Mistress Lu! Come, log in.”
Jiu Shen and Lu Sulan walked into the old man's room. They saw a charred cauldron in the middle of the room and they could also smell the pungent smell of burnt herbs.
“Sorry to have disturbed you as long as you make a pill concoction, Mr. Fengzi.” Lu Sulan said apologetically.
“No problem at all, Madam Sect Lu. After all it is not a high-level pill.” Master Fengzi said with a small laugh while waving his aged hand as if it was nothing important.
So he did not lie when he said that he was concocting pills.
Jiu Shen observed the old man calmly before observing the cauldron. He sniffed the pungent scent of the burnt herb and nodded his head. “You don't have to apologize to him. He didn't concoct pills when we arrived. The potion was done last night, and based on the smell of this burnt herb, the pill he was trying to concoct was a grade 8 pill, a Refreshing Meridian Pill. This is a high level pill, and not just a random low level pill.”
An awkward silence ensued after Jiu Shen said those words.
Master Fengzi stood up with an expression of disbelief, while Lu Sulan put on an forced smile.
