The Immortal's Wine Store

Jiu Shen checked the teleportation formation. He then stared at Yue Bo, Emperor Elyk, Ice, Theia, and Long Meili. They were the ones going with him to the Crimson Fiend Continent. "Are you guys ready?"

The five of them nodded their heads at him.

After seeing them nod their heads, Jiu Shen activated the teleportation array formation.

Their bodies were enveloped by a bright ray of light as they vanished. When they opened their eyes, they were already inside an unfamiliar room.

"We're here." Jiu Shen's calm voice woke them from their stupor.

Emperor Elyk was stunned. He expected a deserted place full of blood and chaos, but he didn't expect that they would be teleported inside a luxurious place.

"Where are we?" He asked curiously as he stared at Jiu Shen's face.

"This is a branch store of mine here in the Crimson Fiend Continent. This place isn't as peaceful as it looks. Once you stepped out of this building, you'll see it yourself. Follow me downstairs." Jiu Shen replied calmly before he led them to the first floor.

When they reached the first floor, they finally saw a few demons. Some of them were seated in groups of four or five, while others sat alone. Almost all of them had bulky appearances and horrifying faces.

Emperor Elyk who was still a 9th-rank Saint gasped in surprise when he sensed demons who were even stronger than him.

'This is indeed the Crimson Fiend Continent.' The emperor thought to himself in shock.

"Burlock. Come here." Jiu Shen suddenly called out a name.

The five newcomers turned their gazes and saw a huge and bulky demon walking in their direction. Even though he was hiding his strength, they could still sense that this guy was at the Nascent God Realm! However, what made them even more surprised was the respectful look of this demon as he glanced at Jiu Shen.

"Wine Master Jiu, welcome back!" Burlock greeted Jiu Shen enthusiastically. He then noticed a few individuals standing behind Jiu Shen and observed them briefly. There were five people behind Jiu Shen, three were ladies who were at the Nascent God Realm, one was dignified looking middle-aged man who was at the 9th-rank Saint, and the last person made Burlock frown. He couldn't sense this person's strength at all!

"These people are your new colleagues. They have been with me for way earlier than you, so you must treat them well." Jiu Shen patted Burlock's shoulder.

Burlock hurriedly nodded his head upon hearing Jiu Shen's words. 'So they are Wine Master Jiu's old subordinates.'

"I will treat them well, Wine Master Jiu. You can rest assured." Burlock promised.

"Good. Go and get to know them. After that, give them a small tour within Morlon City. Oh, Yue Bo, you stay here and clean the garden outside. I only have a broom here with me, so can you make other tools yourself." Jiu Shen said as he took out an old-looking wooden broom. This was easy to make, so it didn't take him long to make this broom. Although it looked shabby and frail, it was made of precious materials, making it a lot durable. Heck! It can even be made as a weapon!

Yue Bo accepted the broom with an eager look. There wasn't even an ounce of reluctance on his face as he took the broom in his hands.

"Yes, Wine Master Jiu! I'll start cleaning the garden right away!" Yue Bo patted his chest and stepped outside the building with haste. Perhaps only this man would be excited to clean someone else's garden...

Looking at the excited figure going out of the building, Burlock and the rest were speechless.

"According to my subordinates, the wine store should be around this corner." Cornelia muttered to herself as she checked the map in her hands. It was roughly drawn, but everything about Morlon City was clearly drawn on the map.

Cornelia kept the map in her space ring and glanced ahead of her. There she saw a huge blooming azure lotus surrounded by tall metal fences. Demons also came in and out of the lotus building.

"That should be it!" Cornelia's eyes lit up and she immediately flew towards the direction of the lotus building.

She slowly descended in front of the metal gate of the lotus building. In her descent, she saw hundreds of spiritual herbs and flowers neatly planted in rows and columns outside the lotus building. All of which were at least Nascent-rank spiritual plants! She even saw some Origin-rank spiritual plants and a few others with levels that she could not discern. Looking at this scene, Cornelia's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"Just how rich is the owner of this wine store for him to casually plant such precious spiritual plants in his garden? Even Emperor Father isn't as rich as him..." Cornelia muttered to herself as she stepped inside the metal gate. She glanced to her left and right to observe the spiritual plants closely. Even until now, she has yet to recover from her shock.

Just then, she saw a human in his thirties sweeping near the garden. He was wearing a black robe with an insignia that she was unfamiliar with.

'He must be a worker here...' Cornelia thought in her heart. However, as she looked closer at this human, she felt that her vision was obscured by a thin veil of strange power, preventing him from looking at the human's cultivation level.

Cornelia was shocked to discover this since she only experienced this kind of thing in front of her father, Emperor Balmond.

'Wait. Is this guy the mysterious owner of this store? This strength... Void God Realm...' She was stunned at this discovery. Now she knew why her father was wary of offending this wine store owner.

As if he noticed Cornelia looking at him, the human turned his gaze at her and smiled amiably.

His face was average at best, but his temperament was similar to those who had experienced many things in life. His most striking feature was his eyes. It seemed to contain a galaxy of its own.

Suddenly, Cornelia felt her heartbeat moving faster.
