The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 456: Elf Kingdom
Inside the hut that lies above the clouds.
Jiu Shen slowly opened his eyes. He turned his head to the side and saw Theia sleeping beside him. He gently smiled and kissed her forehead before she sat down.
“When will we be back?” He heard a tired voice from behind him.
Jiu Shen sighed and shook his head. “We will not go there yet. The Heavenly Sword Tower was not ready for this moment. Perhaps we should start teaching them about the Primordial God Realm and the realm after the Void God Realm. This way, they won't be too surprised if we climb to that place.” He said after thinking for a moment. Since the creation of the Heavenly Sword Tower, the disciples were given the best cultivation techniques and sufficient resources. However, they had yet to learn about the Primordial God Realm!
Theia nodded her head seriously. It seemed like there was only a small amount of time left until they returned to that place. “I think Sister Hestia will be the right person to teach them about this. He knows a lot about the Primordial God Realm, so he should be fine.”
Jiu Shen agreed with him. He was too lazy to teach the disciples about the Primordial God Realm, so he had better leave this job to Hestia. “Good. You can tell him about this. I'll go to the wine shop to check everything.”
Jiu Shen left the hut and flew towards the lotus building.
There were many people outside the lotus building. Jiu Shen even saw some humans talking to demons.
Seeing this, Jiu Shen smiled as he descended in front of the gate.
“See! Isn't that Sect Master Jiu Shen?!”
“Yes, that's it!”
When they saw Jiu Shen, everyone rushed over just to see him more clearly. However, no one dared to approach him for fear of offending this person.
“Welcome back, Sect Master!” A demonic girl with long red hair greeted him respectfully. He held a sprinkler can in his left hand and a hoe in his right hand. This was the Double Demon Empress, the third official gardener of the lotus building. He was also now an Elder of the Heavenly Sword Tower!
It seems like this little girl is doing her job well. Should I give him a raise? “I just came here to see it. How is everyone?”
The Double Demon Empress smiled as she replied. “Shop sales have increased twenty percent this month. I'll take you in, Sect Master.”
The Demon Empress brought Jiu Shen inside and they found Balmond and Yue Bo who were busy watering plants in the garden.
“Sect Master!”
Jiu Shen waved his hand at the two. “Don't mind me. Continue what you did.”
Double brought Jiu Shen into the store. The first floor was filled with people. Everyone was chatting with a smile on their faces.
Jiu Shen was able to identify most of the people here since they were regulars. He was more surprised by the new faces. “Since when do we have elf customers? If I remember correctly, only Leaf became our elf customer.”
Double chuckled and slowly told the details. “Sect Lord, while you were in seclusion, that man Leaf came back with a group of elves with her. From then on, more and more elves started visiting our shop. Elf King will even come here from time to time.”
Jiu Shen felt very interested when she heard his words. Elves are talented beings blessed by heaven. It would be great if he could recruit some of them into the sword tower. However, these elves were arrogant beings and they would never give up on someone regardless of their strength.
“Double, have any elves joined the previous sword tower appraisal?” Jiu Shen asked. He had just come out of seclusion and he had yet to inspect the sword tower.
Double thought for a moment before he started shaking his head. “From what I know, the people who took part in our assessment were mostly demons, beastmen, and humans. I've never heard of any elves joining our assessment. However, I heard that Leaf came during the first assessment, but she did not sign up for it.”
“You mean he just saw, but he didn't come?” Jiu Shen was confused, but he immediately guessed.
Little Leaf definitely wanted to join the Heavenly Sword Tower, but something or someone prevented it. Looks like he needs to visit the elf's lair this time around.
Thinking of this, Jiu Shen smiled. “Double, follow me to the Elf Kingdom. I want to talk to this Elf King.”
Dual was surprised, but he still nodded his head. “Yes, Sect Master. Do you want me to prepare something for this trip?”
“No need. I'm just going to go there for a chat, so why prepare something? Let's go.” Jiu Shen chuckled.
‘I doubt that ... Don't tell me you also want that person to be your gardener?’ Double thinking in the heart. However, he was glad that Jiu Shen brought him over because he wanted to see how the arrogant Elf King would end up under Jiu Shen's hands. Just thinking about it made him smile wickedly.

Away from the Great Demon Empire, there was a huge forest inhabited by ferocious beasts and other forest creatures, but there was a large patch of this forest that was under the rule of the elves. This place is the Elf Kingdom!
Thousands of tree houses were built on the branches of large towering trees. Elf children playing with magic could be seen around this area and there were elf guards secretly protecting the place.
Inside the largest tree house in the center of this kingdom, a handsome man with pointy ears and long green hair suddenly opened his eyes. He frowned as he peered into the distance.
“Two people came. One mid stage Void God Realm expert, while the other was... eh? I can't feel the level...” Mumbled surprised.
