The Immortal's Wine Store

Within the Spirit World, Jiu Shen was seated cross-legged above the clouds with his eyes shut tight.

In front of him was the Heaven Trampling Cauldron.

At this moment, the cauldron emitted a draconic cry as a brilliant rainbow suddenly puffed out of the cauldron's opening.

Jiu Shen slowly opened his eyes. He then extended his hand towards the cauldron as he took the pills that were still covered in rainbow radiance. "Mystic Cloud Ascension Pellets, complete."

Jiu Shen smiled as he stared at the pills in his hand.

The Mystic Cloud Ascension Pellet was a type of pill that could increase the chances of breaking through the Mystic God Realm! With his True God Realm spiritual power, refining this pill was not difficult.

"Unfortunately, I can only make one batch of this pill since there is a lack of high-level ingredients in the Spirit World. Too bad..." He muttered to himself as he kept the pills inside his space earring.

"I've prepared everything now. It's time to go out and see what those little kids are doing..." He smiled as he summoned the door to exit the Spirit World.

He came out above the lotus building. It was still bustling and he could see many customers going in and out of the store.

Jiu Shen quickly scanned the lotus building with his spiritual perception.

"It looks like Yue Bo did a great job in teaching Balmond about gardening. I'll reward him later. Hmm, isn't that the little leader of Narda Principality? Is she perhaps looking for her weapons?" Jiu Shen chuckled as he spectated everyone through his spiritual vision. They didn't even notice that someone was watching them.

After observing everyone, Jiu Shen extended the range of his spiritual vision. He looked at the entire Great Demon Empire and then the vast Crimson Fiend Continent. Soon, his spiritual perception covered the whole of Nuar!

"I can now cover the entirety of Nuar with my spiritual perception." He saw many things in just a few seconds. This was the power of his True God Realm spiritual force!

When he observed Morlon City, he discovered that the city has new fortifications. Tens of thousands of demon soldiers were stationed in the city and there were even Nascent God Realm experts patrolling in every corner.

Seeing this, Jiu Shen revealed a look of interest. Although he didn't plan to join the coming war, he wouldn't allow his key subordinates to die prematurely. He still had plans for them and he needed them alive.

After that, Jiu Shen slowly descended on the garden, shocking the two figures who were weeding the garden with their hand hoes.

"Wine Master Jiu Shen!"

They exclaimed with wide eyes. They remembered that Jiu Shen told them that he might be gone for months or even years. From the looks of it, he came out of seclusion earlier than he planned! Did he succeed?

Yue Bo and Balmond couldn't help but feel a bit excited at the thought of it. If Wine Master Jiu Shen succeeded, how strong was he now?

Suddenly, a few figures came out of the lotus building.

A chubby white cat, a purple-haired man, a purple-haired beauty, a blonde wearing armor, and a few others.

All of them were looking at Jiu Shen with joyful smiles on their faces as they greeted him.

"Master!"

"Wine Master Jiu Shen!"

"Sect Master!"

But there was one voice that stood out among the rest.

"Jiu Shen, return my weapons!"

Everyone could not help but glance at the red-haired beauty. Although they couldn't see her expression since her face was covered by a veil, everyone could still sense the exasperation in her tone.

Demon Empress Ganda became anxious when she sensed everyone's gazes on her. 'Crap! I lost control of myself...'

Jiu Shen felt a bit embarrassed when he saw the pitiful Demon Empress Ganda. He coughed as he took out the two weapons from his space earring. "When we sparred, I noticed that your weapons' inscriptions are damaged, so I decided to bring them with me and see if I could repair them. If you want to get them. You can have them back..."

Of course, Jiu Shen was just lying. He didn't plan to repair her weapons at all! Not that he couldn't repair them, but he didn't have the necessary items to restore the weapons in their peak conditions. After all, these two were peak True God-rank weapons!

Hearing his words, Demon Empress Ganda was dumbstruck. Repair her weapons? According to her ancestors, those weapons were peak True God-rank weapons! That means only those True God-rank Blacksmiths could make them! Now, Jiu Shen is actually telling her that he wanted to see if he could repair them? Wait... Is it possible that he is telling the truth? If it's true, then his strength...

Demon Empress Ganda didn't dare think further. She feared that she might have a heart attack if she continued thinking about it.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Demon Empress Ganda took her weapons from Jiu Shen's hands and immediately kept them inside her space ring. She was afraid that Jiu Shen might go back on his words if she hesitated longer.

"Alright. Since everyone is doing good, I'll go inside and rest now..." Jiu Shen smiled as he went inside the lotus building.

Theia walked towards him and followed Jiu Shen inside, leaving the rest standing rooted in their spots.

Demon Empress Ganda immediately left when she saw this opportunity. She didn't want to face everyone at this moment since she still felt a bit embarrassed about her outburst earlier.

Soon, the others also went inside the lotus building and only Balmond and Yue Bo were left behind in the garden.

"I think I've forgotten something." Balmond muttered with an absentminded look.

Yue Bo chuckled when he heard this. He then continued weeding the garden using his hand hoe as he said. "You mentioned earlier that you would beg Wine Master Jiu Shen to create suitable techniques for your subordinates once he comes out of seclusion."

"Oh, right! How did I forget that?!" Balmond dropped his hand hoe and went inside the lotus building.

Yue Bo laughed and shook his head as he looked at the scrambling Demon Emperor.
