The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 45 The Heart Is Unmoved Like a Mountain
Lu Sulan's thoughts were like a jumble as he continued to look behind Jiu Shen. His long silver hair fluttered with the wind as they flew back towards the Ice Cloud Sword Sect.
Every single one of his actions left a deep impression in his heart.
The man who had suddenly come to give him hope was actually a top expert who could be considered the most peak cultivator in the entire Profound Dragon Continent. Furthermore, he was also an Alchemy Saint!
‘Jiu Shen, who are you?’ Lu Sulan thought to himself as they descended towards the Ice Cloud Sword Sect's ice castle.
When the disciples saw who was coming, they immediately opened the gate and let them inside.
The arrogant female disciple who blocked Jiu Shen's entry more than a day ago was now looking at him respectfully. And behind that respectful gaze was a feeling of fear.
He heard some rumors about the man. He could see the flaws of his younger sister and elder sister's sword techniques in just one glance! Not only that, they also said that even the mistress of their sect respected him a lot. Adding to the event where he showed his aura towards them, he felt extremely afraid that he would make things difficult for him.
Jiu Shen did not even bother to glance at the beautiful female disciples and just treated them like random pebbles on the roadside.
In fact, he did not care much about them as he had seen countless beauties in his past life. Moreover, their beauty exceeded Lu Sulan's beauty because they had a much higher cultivation level and they had also eaten countless immortal treasures to enhance their beauty.
The female disciple felt like she had been given a new opportunity in life after seeing Jiu Shen's indifferent attitude. ‘What kind of man am I even provoking?’
His junior and senior sister, on the other hand, looked at Jiu Shen with open admiration and admiration. Who can blame them? Jiu Shen's handsome face and aloof gaze were the weaknesses of the hearts of these little girls. They just need a glimpse to fall in love with her otherworldly face.
Meanwhile, Jiu Shen was still following behind Lu Sulan, his face separated and cold.
Lu Sulan stopped and glanced at Jiu Shen. He handed the ring to her and said in a soft voice. “Lord Jiu Shen, inside this ring there is an ingredient you need for your potion. Please check.”
Jiu Shen calmly checked the contents of the ring. ‘It looks like the Alchemy Hall doesn't have a single Earth Origin Dragon Fruit. Do we really have to wait for my spiritual plant to bear fruit? In that case, I still have to do acupuncture on her while we wait for her.’.
Seeing Jiu Shen's unchanging expression as he examined the contents of the ring, Lu Sulan wisely remained silent.
Lu Sulan was slightly disappointed after hearing his words. The last ingredient he needed was a rank 9 spiritual plant! Such treasures were extremely rare in the entire Profound Dragon Continent!
“Then... What can we do for now, Mr Jiu Shen?” He asked with a questioning look.
“You don't have to worry about this remaining material. I have some Earth Origin Dragon Fruit Trees in my shop, but it will take a month before they can bear fruit. So, while waiting, I'll do acupuncture on you once every week for a month. This will suppress the discomfort you always feel every time you cultivate.” Jiu Shen said calmly.
When Lu Sulan heard that he had some Earth Origin Dragon Fruit Trees in his shop, he was shocked. He even said it casually as if it was nothing in his eyes!
When Lu Sulan heard that he was going to do acupuncture on her, he felt embarrassed and hopeful at the same time. He looked away from her to hide his embarrassment.
“Ah-because it's the only option left, I'll give up and let Mr. Jiu Shen do it.” She forced herself to sound cold and distant, but Jiu Shen could see her beautiful earlobes producing a reddish hue.
How could an ancient expert like him who had lived for thousands of years not know what a little girl was thinking? It was just that he was too lazy to care about his feelings. Or it could also be said that he was afraid that he would develop a seed of emotion in his icy heart.
In fact, Jiu Shen had several lovers in his past life. But they all moved away from him because of the huge difference in their strength. They all died after passing through a cruel and endless time.
He might be one of the top experts of the Primordial God Realm, but he was powerless to change their fate. Even if he gave them countless immortal pills and heavenly treasures, what could those things do? Those pills and treasures could only temporarily delay their impending doom, and they would still never be able to escape the continuous passage of time.
Only someone at the third level of heavenly emperors could live an immortal life. As for the other experts.They would still die after a few kalpas live a long time.
After living for countless thousands of years, Jiu Shen had experienced many things in life. He had seen how his family, friends, and lovers died of old age, while he who was a Heavenly Deity remained young.
The bone-chilling sensation he felt upon seeing how his loved ones died was stored in the depths of his heart. It crippled the heart, even worse than facing countless heavenly tribulations.
With all the memories still fresh in his mind, Jiu Shen would bury any sense of emotion that might develop in his stone-cold heart. This was also how he comprehended the third heart realm, the Mountain-like Unmoved Heart…
