The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 65 Mr. Fengzi Visiting the Shop
After the process of refining the mixture, Jiu Shen opened the distillation vat and inhaled the mixture that was inside.
“It smells like wine but with a much stronger kick. I just need to age this one for two and a half years and it should be ready for sale by then.” Jiu Shen nodded to himself as he poured the mixture into a much larger barrel. This time, it was a barrel meant to store and age the wine.
Jiu Shen then stepped out of Space Time and Space after storing the mixture inside the barrel.
“With the accelerated time inside the Time Space and Space, the Frozen Origin should be ready tomorrow.” Jiu Shen muttered to himself as he teleported back into the kitchen of his shop.
He saw Hestia and his student Lu Sulan serving customers in the dining room. The latter was also much friendlier than usual which surprised the customers who had seen his sudden burst of power yesterday. Even so, the customers did not dare to glance too much at Lu Sulan or Hestia.
“Is this the Alchemy Saint Jiu Shen wine shop?” An old voice echoed within the shop.
Because it was quite silent inside the wine shop, everyone could hear an old voice coming from the entrance of the shop.
The customer squinted and turned to look at the incoming guest. Everyone's eyes suddenly popped out of their sockets after seeing the newcomer's face.
It was an old man with unkempt hair. His pair of slightly turbid eyes signified his declining age, but everyone could feel an overwhelming aura coming from him. Moreover, all the customers inside the store were very familiar with the badge engraved on his robe. It was the famous Alchemy Hall emblem depicting an adamantine cauldron with a pair of black and white wings on its side.
With the attention-grabbing old man's attire and enormous aura, everyone immediately knew that he was probably at least a high-level elder in the Alchemy Hall.
“Head of Fengzi Branch, we asked the people around the streets of Beltran City for the most famous wine shop and most of them directed us here.” Behind the old man, a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing the same clothes said respectfully.
The old man was the branch head of the Alchemy Hall branch in Beltran City. Outsiders called him Master Fengzi, but some alchemists called him Branch Head Fengzi.
Master Fengzi felt that there was something unusual about the shop. It was just that he could not say what was strange about it. With that discovery, he was somewhat convinced that this must be the deed of ‘Alchemy Saint Jiu Shen’.
“Then, let's go in and check it out ourselves.” Mr. Fengzi said softly as he stepped inside the shop.
There were four people behind Master Fengzi and they were all the only four Alchemy Emperors from all branches in Beltran City!
As these alchemists stepped foot into the shop, they felt a curved space that left them slightly stunned.
“Space manipulation? Interesting..” Master Fengzi muttered to himself. This new discovery makes him one hundred percent sure that this is the ‘Alchemy Saint Jiu Shen’ store.
The four Alchemy Emperors were both stunned, but their expressions recovered quickly to normal.
Master Fengzi smiled as he glimpsed the interior of the shop.
“If I were you, I would shut my mouth tightly before expelling you from this store.” A beautiful yet cold voice rang out in Master Fengzi's ears like a bucket of cold water.
He hurriedly turned to the side and saw the valiant blonde beauty wearing knight armor. Master Fengzi could feel an oppressive aura coming from him and it was so huge that he almost fainted.
The weaker cultivator might not be able to sense his strength, but Master Fengzi knew that this heroic woman in front of him was definitely a 9th rank Saint realm expert!
The four Alchemy Emperors could also subtly feel her aura and after seeing Master Fengzi's reaction, they instantly realized that the blond beauty was someone they couldn't hurt.
Master Fengzi regained his wits after sensing that the other party was simply giving him a warning. He then smiled a sigh of relief at Theia and nodded his head in understanding. “Do not worry young lady, this old man will never spread the news about it.”
Theia looked at Master Fengzi's eyes deeply causing Master Fengzi to take a step back. He then returned to his usual place and ignored them.
Master Fengzi and the other alchemists heaved a sigh of relief and felt the burden on their shoulders slightly lessen.
“Halo, dear guests. Welcome to Eternal Wine.” Hestia quickly defused the situation with a warm welcome and a sweet smile.
Master Fengzi glanced at Hestia only to obtain another shocking discovery.
The soft-looking maid with long red hair in front of them was an 8th rank heavenly realm expert! Other experts…
‘What the fuck is this place?!’ Master Fengzi was almost staggered, but he forcefully maintained his calm disposition to prevent themselves from becoming a laughingstock.
“Ah-Thank you for the warm welcome, young lady.” Master Fengzi forced a stiff smile on his aged face as he said those words.
“Honored guests, follow me to your table.” Hestia smiled as she gestured for them to follow behind her.
Master Fengzi and the four Alchemy Emperors trailed behind Hestia as they curiously looked around the shop.
They were shocked to see the usually noisy and noisy mercenaries talking in a soft and normal voice, but when they recalled the strength of the staff inside the shop, it was a very small matter of time, they immediately felt it made sense if they behaved like that.
There were even some nobles who were now acting quiet and refined which was in stark contrast to their usually arrogant and flamboyant habits.
Master Fengzi sighed to himself.
‘At the end, if you have enough power, everyone will respect you. But if you are weak, then you can only suffer the ridicule of others.’
