The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 431: Theia's Mind
Jiu Shen did not immediately go to his room. He found a random chair on the first floor and sat down comfortably. He had refined pills and created techniques within the Spirit World, so even though his cultivation was high, he still felt mentally exhausted.
“How was the result?” Theia sat beside him as she asked in a soft voice. Although he could not sense Jiu Shen's change in strength, he guessed that he had experienced a great increase in his strength. His instincts as a past Heavenly God Realm expert said this.
Jiu Shen held her hand and smiled. “You already know that I have been trapped in the Third Level Heart Realm for many years. I had a flash of enlightenment that made me feel the limits of the Fourth Realm. Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to step into it. However, I managed to increase my spiritual power to the True God Realm! Amazing, right?”
Theia suddenly smiled which surprised Jiu Shen.
“Is something wrong?” Jiu Shen could not help but ask when she saw his silly smile.
“You have changed, Jiu Shen. You're no longer the emotionless man I knew before. And you smile more often now.” Theia revealed an affectionate smile as she leaned closer to Jiu Shen.
“Did I really change?” Jiu Shen muttered softly to himself as he patted Theia's back gently. He suddenly remembered that he now enjoys bullying people.. ‘Maybe he was right..’.
“Ehem!”
Theia lifted her head from Jiu Shen's embrace and glared at the demon that had destroyed the atmosphere.
Jiu Shen turned his gaze towards Balmond who seemed to want to say something.
Balmond ignored Theia's cold gaze as he looked at Jiu Shen in embarrassment.
“Uhm, Wine Master Jiu Shen, I want to ask for help.” He muttered with a little anxiety. From the looks of it, this was not the best time to ask Jiu Shen for something, but he was already here, so he could only bite the bullet.
Jiu Shen's expression was calm and indifferent as he gestured for Balmond to sit on the chair opposite him.
Balmond sat down nervously and waited for Jiu Shen to speak, but when he saw the man just staring at him, he immediately said. “Like this. Do you remember the items you told me to collect for Artaurus? I sent Hanzo and a few other experts to get all of them in the Sacred Beast Continent. They came back early with spiritual herbs and I thought I should reward them well. However, I don't think a simple reward will be enough for what they achieve. So I hope that Wine Master Jiu Shen can help me create a technique suitable for those people. In return, I will have the entire Bloodfallen Family swear allegiance to you.”
He then took out a jade box containing spiritual herbs and carefully handed it to Jiu Shen.
The Vermilion Callia Lily is a small flower that appears to have burnt petals. Jiu Shen furrowed his brows when he saw that he was very young. On the other hand, the parent leaves of the Vulcan Spirit Vine were in perfect age, but the edges looked broken.
“There are two Origin rank spiritual herbs that have low quality, but this is enough.” With Jiu Shen's recent increase in spiritual power, you can, refining the properties of these substandard materials became easy.
“Whatever you asked just now. Bring those people to me..” Jiu Shen said as he kept the jade box inside his outer space earrings.
Hearing this, Balmond who was about to faint from nervousness heaved a sigh of relief. He then stood up and bowed to Jiu Shen with a respectful look. “Thank you very much, Wine Master Jiu Shen. I'll soon bring those people so you can see them. As for the Bloodfallen Family, I will immediately bring the elders here to settle our loyalty. I won't waste any more of your time, Wine Master Jiu. Goodbye to.”
The Demon Emperor happily left the lotus building. He could not wait to share this news with Hanzo and his subordinates.
“I don't even have time to rest ..” Jiu Shen sighed while shaking his head. Now that he had two spiritual herbs, he could now create a Soul Stabilizing Array Formation for Artaurus. He was willing to do this because the man's physique was quite special. He also planned for Artaurus to join his Heavenly Sword Tower.
Theia chuckled as she heard his words. “Go. I'll stay here.”
Jiu Shen glanced at him and took out something from his outer space earrings. “You will need this soon. I don't know why, but your physique seems as special as mine.”
“Pelet Mystic Cloud Ascension? You've made this?” Theia immediately identified the pill in her hand. It was something commonly sold in the Primordial God Realm, so he could recognize it with just one glance.
“Of course. Not too difficult.” Jiu Shen replied while shrugging.
“Good. I'm going to go visit that dungeon now so I can go home early. I'll be right back.” He smiled before leaving the lotus building.
Theia stared at the pill in her hand with an emotional expression. “Our cultivation is growing too fast. I'm afraid we might have to return to the Ancient God Realm soon. I would rather stay in this mortal world with you than return to that place. That shit, Lao Gou. .. He won't rest if he knows that we're both still alive.”.
He then went to the second floor and started cultivating with a serious expression on his face.. “I have to become stronger, so you don't have to bear this burden alone.”
