The Immortal's Wine Store

Hearing the name 'Jiu Shen' coming from the little girl's mouth, Jian Wang recalled a distant memory in his life. 

'Jiu Shen, the second-best swordsman in the Primordial God Realm...' He thought with a complicated look on his face. 

Jian Wang rarely admired someone, but this man was one of the few people he admired. Sadly, he was killed after he offended Celestial Emperor Lao Gou.

"Of course! Jiu Shen is a friend of mine! Hmph!" Ice proudly stated with her chin raised upwards. 

Furion's gaze softened after hearing that. "Oh, in that case, can you tell him that I want to meet him?" He said with a probing look. 

Ice crossed her arms and shook her head right away. "No way!" 

She would never do that since she had just escaped from the cultivation hall without permission. If she comes back, she might not be able to come out of that place for many years. Just the thought of it made her shiver in fear. 

Jiu Shen had become very strict with regards to their cultivation the moment they arrived in the Primordial God Realm. He would surely punish her for sneaking out without informing him.

Furion was stumped by the decisive refusal. The little girl didn't even hesitate and refused him right away. 

'From the way she acts, she must be close to the owner. Hm, how can I convince this little brat to bring the owner here? Wait. Didn't she come from upstairs? Maybe the owner is there. Let me check it...' Furion used a wisp of his spiritual perception to scan the entire dragon building. 

However...

The moment his spiritual perception reached the door of the second floor, he suddenly sensed that his vision was forcefully cut off! His face paled and he grabbed his head in pain. 

"Ugh!" He groaned in pain. 

Jian Wang frowned upon seeing this. He also noticed that Furion was using his spiritual perception to scan the second floor, but it was abruptly cut off by a mysterious power. He found it hard to believe since Furion was only a step away from the Celestial God Realm. In his opinion, only the three Celestial Emperors had stronger spiritual power than him, so how did this happen?

"Are you alright?" Jian Wang asked with a hint of worry in his tone. Luckily, Furion only used a small portion of his spiritual power or he would have suffered a stronger backlash. 

Furion shook his head rueful smile. "Whoever is upstairs is much stronger than me..." He was sure of it.

Recalling that mysterious power, Furion felt uneasy. 

Hearing his words, Jian Wang nodded his head with a frown. 'Is he still alive? But that's impossible... Maybe it's just someone who has the same name as him...' 

Ice was confused when she saw the pale face of Furion. She suddenly lost interest in them when she noticed their somber expression.

'Weird old farts! Hmph.' She snorted as she went back to her chair. 

Jian Wang furrowed his eyebrows as he fell into deep thinking. 

Meanwhile, outside the dragon building, Domas arrived with Berith in tow. 

"Is this the place?" Berith narrowed his eyes into slits as he stared at the name plaque embedded on the wall.

Domas nodded his head gravely as he replied. "Yes, this is the wine store. You've already sensed the Protective Array Formations all over the place. What do you think about it, Lord Berith?" 

Berith's expression hardened as he shook his head. "Even I couldn't survive if all of those Protective Array Formations are activated. Perhaps you might be right about Jian Wang being the owner of this wine store, but to make sure of our conjectures, let's get inside first." 

Domas nodded his head before leading Berith inside the dragon building. 

The arrival of the two didn't cause a commotion since they hid their aura very well. No ordinary expert would be able to sense their power no matter how hard they check them. 

Berith was stupefied by what he witnessed inside the dragon building. With his long years of experience, he could already identify the precious items used to design the building. "This is madness! He actually used Celestial-rank items to make chairs and tables..." He blurted out unconsciously.

Domas already expected this kind of reaction from him. "Indeed. Only the number one expert would have the capital to be this extravagant..." He muttered with a wry smile. 

Berith took a deep breath to calm his shock. 

Suddenly, a beautiful young lady walked toward them with a sunny smile on her face. "Welcome, guests! There is still a vacant table. Let me take you there." 

Berith and Domas nodded their heads at the young lady. They then followed her while observing the store. Even until now, Berith could still feel his heart beating wildly as he scanned the precious items inside the building. 

Suddenly, his pupils constricted when he saw the face of a certain individual. He then used his transmitted a spiritual message to Domas. "Domas, he is here! Your guess is right! Jian Wang is indeed the man behind this store!" 

Domas could sense the nervousness in Berith's tone when he heard the message. "Where is he?" He asked through transmission. 

"Three tables away on the right side from where we are right now." 

Domas moved his gaze and saw a face that he only saw in scrolls and Visual Array Formations. 

Jian Wang, the strongest being in the Primordial God Realm! 

As if he had sensed their gazes, Jian Wang glanced at the two men who were being escorted by a young waitress. 'Dark Devils? Lao Gou's minions... What are they doing here?' He muttered to himself after identifying the two individuals. 

The pale-faced Furion noticed Jian Wang's expression. He followed his gaze and saw two Dark Devils dressed in fancy battle armor. "Aren't they Berith and Domas? Are they also here to drink wine?" He muttered in surprise. 

It was rare to see top experts of their caliber appearing in one place, but including them, two peak cultivators from the Dark Devil Race were also here in the dragon building. 

The two sides stared at each other, but the two Dark Devils nervously glanced away.
