It was the afternoon. The light from the scorching sun shone on the world of Nuar which illuminated the entire planet with a blazing light.
The busy streets of Beltran are noisy as ever, but completely different in one corner of the isolated city.
There is a regular-looking shop located in the corner that gives it an ordinary but calm atmosphere. If the top experts were only going to look at this store, they would definitely feel that it was not what it looked like. There was an oppressive but invisible aura covering the entire store as if an impenetrable layer of heavenly protection was protecting it. It was just that no one except Jiu Shen was the only one who could see him…
In the shop.
“Nona Hestia young hic~, can I ask hic ~ order Mystic Jade again here, please hic~?” A young man in his late teens asked with a dead red face. The usually arrogant expression on his face was no longer visible. It was replaced by a gentle and noble face making it look like a scholar. It was unbelievable but this man was Xue Tong …
Hestia's fiery long hair swayed as she turned to look at Xue Tong who was already drunk. He gave her a faint smile while nodding his head. “Ya, Young Master Xue.”
Xue Tong chuckled while looking at Hestia's walking figure with a hazy look. He forcefully blinked his eyes to prevent himself from losing consciousness. “Wine here tasty~ tasty!”
In front of him were three guards. They were also drunk but not to the point of losing consciousness as they had a much higher drinking tolerance than their young masters who were only at the early 3rd rank Crusader realm.
“This is Your Mystic Jade, Young Master Xue.” Hestia gently placed a bottle of wine on Xue Tong's table as she said with a carefree smile.
Even in a drunken state, Xue Tong and his bodyguards were still enchanted by Hestia's unparalleled beauty.
“Thank you, Young Miss Hestia.” Xue Tong said after temporarily regaining his senses.
Hestia smiled at them before she returned to serve another customer.

In the kitchen of the shop.
“Master, is the Earth Origin Dragon Tree outside real?” Lu Sulan poked his master's back as he asked with a blank look.
Jiu Shen stopped his steps and turned to look at his curious disciple with a calm look.
“Hmm...” He nodded calmly.
“But... Is it okay to show it off in the store? I mean it is a rank 9 spiritual plant and if the top experts of the Profound Dragon Continent will find out about their existence, they will definitely come visit your shop. ” Lu Sulan said, feeling a little worried about the thought of facing countless top experts.
Although his master was also a top expert. Would he be able to fight against many cultivators in the same realm?
Jiu Shen initially calmed down, but when he heard what Lu Sulan had in mind, he said, he gently closed his eyes and recalled the scene where he was fighting against tens of thousands of experts from the Celestial Paragon Tower while he was being chased by them. He killed thousands of people that day and was still able to escape despite receiving heavy injuries. He was only captured when the Celestial Emperor Lao Gou dealt with the matter with his own hands and sealed the injured Jiu Shen within his God-level artifact, the God Sealing Tower.
Lu Sulan was puzzled by the change in his master's normally calm expression. There was a hint of nostalgia and inexplicable emotions on his handsome face. Lu Sulan did not know what he was saying to evoke some sort of change in his master's emotions.
“Master... I.. I-” Lu Sulan looked at his master with worry. What kind of memory could make someone like his master be like that? He did not know and he did not dare to ask either.
Lu Sulan bit his lower lip, but in the end, he obeyed his master and said after bowing respectfully to Jiu Shen. “Ya sir.”
Jiu Shen glanced at Lu Sulan's fleeting figure calmly.
“No one in the world can stop me..” Mumbled quietly, but the atmosphere inside the kitchen became so cold that the entire kitchen was covered in ice. A few seconds later, a bright light enveloped the entire kitchen removing the layer of ice covering the entire place. It was a system that kept the conditions of the store perfect…
“System, open the Spirit World for me.” Jiu Shen spoke after regaining his composure.
– Ding!
– Opening the entrance to the Spirit World!
– Host, please wait a minute!
The mechanical sound of the system echoed within Jiu Shen's head.
A two-meter-high door made from the Eonic Ragardwood Tree appeared out of thin air. Although Jiu Shen had seen the striking appearance of the door, his mouth still twitched upon seeing it. Perhaps only a system could be so conspicuous in making the entrance to the Spirit World…
Jiu Shen pushed the door open with one hand and was greeted by the beautiful scenery on the other side of the door.
The vast green mountains were surrounded by thousands of tall trees. A huge blue lake that shone with a golden hue and many water savage beasts that lived within it. The grassy land of the Spirit World was also filled with plump and healthy beasts.
Although the beings within the Spirit World were only low-level beings, they all gave off powerful and powerful auras. With enough time, they would definitely evolve into a much stronger species of ferocious beasts.
“I can collect some spiritual plants from Green Mountain Lake. I have to replant them here so they continue to grow. With this amount of true essence in the Spirit World, it should not be a problem for this spirituality.the plant to be further developed.” Jiu Shen muttered to himself as he flew around the Spirit World in search of the perfect place to replant the spiritual plants he had found before.
After flying around for some time, Jiu Shen's eyes shone when he saw an uninhabited island. There were innumerable spiritual plants in the 3rd rank Crusader realm and there were even some in the 4th rank Crusader realm. Jiu Shen took the spiritual plant inside his storage earrings and planted it in a different location. He also placed a protective array formation around each of the spiritual plants just in case the wild beasts found their way on the island.
Jiu Shen then took out the last spiritual plant from his storage earrings. It was the Abyssal Vine Cranberry, an 8th rank heavenly realm spiritual plant.
Jiu Shen dug a small hole from the ground he had stepped on and carefully placed the small shrub before he covered his roots with soil.
The land on this island was rather healthy and filled with true essence. It was a sufficient place to nurture this high-level spiritual plant.
After planting the Abyssal Vine Cranberry, Jiu Shen used his spiritual power to create a protective line around him with a wave of his arm.
It was enough to ward off an 8th rank heavenly realm savage beast.
If Lu Sulan saw how easy Jiu Shen was to set up an array formation, he would definitely be agape at it. Because even the rank 9 protective ranks around their Ice Cloud Sword Sect were made under the combined efforts of over five rank 9 Saint Array Formation Makers!
“This is enough..” Jiu Shen nodded his head with a satisfied look.
