The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 5 Boss Scar
Two days later, inside the Mercenary Guild.
“Wine capable of true essence within our body? Liu Xiufeng, have you gone crazy?! Is there any wine that can do that? Even emperor wine can hardly do it, let alone wine from without a name. shop?” A topless and bald man with a large scar on the right side of his face spoke in a grating voice, but Liu Xiufeng was already used to this. He also did not dare to show any displeasure towards the man since he was much stronger than her.
The bald man was summoned by everyone as Scar, he was a peak 5th rank Spirit level fighter who was very close to breaking through towards a 6th rank King. His strength could already be considered as one of the best among imperial mid-level experts.
“Boss Scar, can't you feel my power? I broke through to the middle stage of the 4th ranked Knight Crusader.” Liu Xiufeng scratched the back of his head while satisfiedly looking at his fellow mercenaries. He then released his true energy and indeed, everyone could sense that he had reached the 4th rank Knight Crusader intermediate level.
Boss Scar glanced at Liu Xiufeng doubtfully. He was convinced that the man was only at the initial stage of the 4th ranked Knight Crusader two days ago, but then the man returned with a mid-level strength. The speed must have been astounding. He then thought about what he said earlier.
“Tell me, where can I find this store? If I know that everything you say is wrong, don't blame me for being rude.”
Liu Xiufeng patted his chest confidently, an ugly smile could also be seen on his rough face.
“Bos, I am one hundred percent sure about this. But as I said, the price of the shop's wine was expensive and the owner himself had unexpected power. I can't even feel the true essence in his body.”
Scar was shocked after hearing his words. Although Liu Xiufeng was one world weaker than him, the latter could still gauge his strength. So after learning that the owner of the wine shop was strong, he felt that there was more to be seen from this shop. He smiled and stood up from his seat.
“Okay, I have decided to visit this store. Liu Xiufeng, lead the way.”
Liu Xiufeng smiled and nodded his head in response.
“Sure, boss!”
A group of men with powerful auras walked out of the Mercenary Guild. Everyone thought they were going on a mission, but the group actually headed to the small shop just to drink wine…

Two days after Liu Xiufeng's visit, Jiu Shen was still cultivating diligently when he heard the sound of the system robot echoing inside his head.
– Ding!
– Next Mission: Get 1000 True Crystals. A reward will be awarded if successful in completing this mission.
Jiu Shen opened his eyes slowly.
“Are you kidding? That's a thousand True Crystals! You may be wrong about that, system. Recalculate!”
– Ding!
– Recalculate!
– Next Mission: Get 1000 True Crystals. A reward will be awarded if successful in completing this mission.
Jiu Shen's face darkened, but a moment later, he shook his head helplessly.
“System, can you at least help me in my cultivation?”
– Ding!
“Breakthrough cultivation as a gift .. I don't believe you.” Jiu Shen muttered to himself while the system remained silent against his accusations.
He then sensed the aura of more than ten people coming towards his shop. A familiar presence also exists among groups of visitors.
“It looks like I will have more customers today.” Jiu Shen sighed and sat lazily on the chair while waiting for a group of men to enter his shop.
He did not need to wait for long, after more than half a minute, a group of savage-looking men walked into his shop.
“Halo, Winner Jiu Shen.” Liu Xiufeng greeted Jiu Shen with a fist greeting. The latter only nodded his head weakly, but Liu Xiufeng was not offended at all.
The other mercenaries looked around while their boss, Scar, was calmly staring at the gigolo-looking shop owner, Jiu Shen.
Boss Scar was surprised because he could not feel Jiu Shen's strength no matter how hard he tried.
‘How strong is this gigolo?!’ He thought warily while maintaining a calm facade.
Jiu Shen emotionlessly glanced at them and pointed at the small blackboard.
“If you want to buy something, you can check the price there.”
All of them gulped after seeing the unreasonable price of the wine. There was also a dish as expensive as emperor wine.
“What the fuck?! Wine sells for 120 True Crystals? Are you playing with me?! Hey kid, it must be Gold Coins, not True Crystals, right?” A mercenary with a distended stomach cursed while pointing at the blackboard.
Jiu Shen did not even bother to glance at him and simply closed his eyes.
“I have reason to set the price of my goods. If you won't order anything, please leave. I still want to nap.”
The fat mercenary smashed his hand on the table furiously. He poured his true energy on the punch and the cultivation level of a 3rd rank Crusader was displayed. When his fat hand touched the table, he felt a strong rebound force that threw his body several meters away.
“Buk! Buk!”
He stood up from the ground in a daze while wiping the blood on the corner of his lips.
“How is it possible?”
Everyone was shocked after seeing what happened. They finally realized that this simple shop was not at all simple. They were not brainless fools, they knew that someone who could take down a 3rd rank Crusader without moving was not a simple person.
They thought it was Jiu Shen's deed, but it was actually a system that strengthened the entire store. No one was able to destroy anything inside, not even the emperor.
Jiu Shen ignored their shocked expressions and just silently looked at them with a cold grin.
