The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 8 The Spirit World
A swallowing sound resounded within Jiu Shen's wine shop. Some tough-looking mercenaries were busy drinking their cups filled with delicious wine. They all had one thing in common, their faces filled with boundless pleasure.
“Winemaster Jiu, wine... hik. I'll definitely visit your store. hik .. regularly to drink this Ables Blanc. Even the best imperial restaurants did not provide such wine. Hic ...” Boss Scar's speech was a bit vague, but Jiu Shen was able to understand a part of it, so he simply nodded his head calmly.
“True, I want to know...hic...how does it feel the only dish you sell here? I want..hic...try it, but it's too expensive for me to try it.” A mercenary spoke. His eyes were on the verge of closing tightly.
Jiu Shen opened his eyes slowly. An unfathomable light flashed across those silver eyes for a moment before disappearing. He glanced at the mercenary who had just spoken. He was at the top of the 3rd rank Crusader, but was still a few steps away from breaking through to the 4th rank Crusader. Jiu Shen thought for a moment before he spoke in a confident tone of voice.
“I guarantee that after eating that dish, you will break through to the next realm without any problems.”
The drowsy eyes of the mercenary suddenly opened after he heard Jiu Shen's words. A food that could help one achieve a breakthrough? Isn't that a little too good to be true?
“Lord Wine Jiu, are you serious about this?” The mercenary felt tempted. He had already planned to purchase some rank 4 pills from the Alchemy Tower to hasten his cultivation, but that still did not guarantee that he could breakthrough towards the next realm. So when he heard that a dish could help him achieve a breakthrough, he felt somewhat in disbelief.
But then again, he drank the wine from the shop and it was indeed capable of his true essence. So he felt that Jiu Shen's words had a point.
Jiu Shen closed his eyes, but he still replied with a flat face.
“Yes, and if you do not achieve a breakthrough, I will give you the dish for free.”
After hearing Wine Master Jiu say those confident words, the mercenary did not hesitate anymore. He checked his coin purse and there were still over a hundred True Crystals inside. He gritted his teeth and said firmly.
“Good, I'll try your dish Winemaster Jiu. Give me one serving of Fried Shrimp Tempura Dipped in Chili Magma Viper.”
The other mercenaries were also eager to see Jiu Shen's dishes. And if it could really help one achieve a breakthrough, then it would be incredible news.
Jiu Shen nodded his head and stood up from his seat. He went into the new kitchen of the shop. It miraculously appeared after she received the gift. Even someone like him who had lived for thousands of years was shocked by his mysterious appearance.
“System, where do I get Shrimp Tuan?” Jiu Shen asked the system with curiosity.
– Ding!
– Host must enter into the World Spirit system.
No one knows how the Spirit World was created. Even the almighty Heavenly Emperor did not know the secrets of these worlds. But they knew that each of these worlds contained the purest and most solid true essence. Some even had unparalleled treasures within them.
As for him, Jiu Shen. He could only enter into two Spirit Worlds during his billions of years of existence. It sounds absurd and magical, but that's the truth. This alone could explain how rare this spirit world was.
So when you mention it, who can blame him for almost having a heart attack?
– Ding!
– Do you want to get into the Spirit World?
Jiu Shen gulped nervously while nodding his head. The two Spirit Worlds he had visited collapsed after about a week of traveling inside. He could not forget everything because he almost died during that expedition.
“Yes, I'll go inside.”
After saying those words, a two-meter-high door appeared in front of Jiu Shen. The door was made from a material he was very familiar with, the Eonic Ragarwood Tree. It was a tree that needed a billion years of maintenance to germinate, another billion years to sprout, and then another billion years to grow. It will fully mature after five billion years.
He heard that the Celestial Emperor Lao Gou planted this kind of tree inside his room. Fuck those! The stupid old fart even doused it every day with a drop of the Unimpeccable God's Spring.
He had thought it was just a mystical bonsai after seeing it for the first time, but when he saw the secret records of the old heavenly emperor farting, he almost thought of stealing it.
This type of tree could only grow to two feet tall, so he was speechless at the number of Eonic Ragarwood Trees used to make the door in front of him.
“System, can you not be more flashy? Or you're really going to kill me for a heart attack ..”
– Ding!
– Host, please enter into the Spirit World.
Jiu Shen gritted his teeth from being ignored, but he still opened the door. A refreshing aroma splashed across her face and a beautiful world could be seen behind the door. He then stepped into the Spirit World, his face dumbfounded.
“What the fuck?!”
