The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 355: Missing Ice

The dark robe of the individual fluttered as he shifted his gaze to the old demon. His exposed pair of demonic eyes stared deeply at Demon Ancestor Jun, causing the old man to break out in cold sweat. 

This man was the supreme leader of the Demon Tribe, Demon Emperor Balmond. Just his chilling gaze alone was more than enough to scare everyone, friend or foe!

“Oh? You know that my time is precious Jun, so make sure that this important information you’re talking about is worth my time…” Demon Emperor Balmond’s icy blue eyes flashed with a cold glint as he uttered those words. 

Demon Ancestor Jun hastily wiped the sweat forming on his forehead as he replied in a hoarse voice. “I wouldn’t dare waste your time, Your Majesty. I came here to inform you about a certain individual that suddenly came to Morlon City. This person set up a mysterious lotus building in the very heart of Morlon City. When I visited the store, I discovered that this guy is selling wines with peculiar effects. The one I drank is called the Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit and it is capable of helping anyone achieve Weapon Intent!” 

Demon Emperor Balmond’s interest was piqued when he heard the old demon’s words. A wine capable of helping anyone achieve Weapon Intent? If it was true, it would be a great resource to strengthen his Demon Army.

As the Demon Emperor was fantasizing about the wine, Demon Ancestor Jun continued. 

“However, the reason for my visit isn’t the wine he sells, but the man himself! I met him once at the gates of Morlon City. He had this ethereal air around him that makes him look mysteriously profound. I also tried to expose him by releasing my aura, but, I was the one who lost during that exchange…” Demon Ancestor Jun shook his head in shame as he recalled that scene. 

“You lost? How strong is that man?” Demon Emperor Balmond asked with a hint of surprise. Although Demon Ancestor Jun was already old, this guy was still among the strongest Demon Ancestors under his command! Anyone who could overpower him was definitely not a normal person. 

“His strength? How should I say this… I wasn’t able to decipher his power even after our exchange, but I am certain that this guy isn’t any weaker than you, Your Majesty…” The old demon answered carefully. 

“Insolence! How dare you compare His Majesty to someone! Jun, you old fart, are you freaking tired of living?!” The bulky soldier standing beneath the throne threw a sharp stare at Demon Ancestor Jun. In his eyes, no one was a match to the Demon Emperor, so he was angered by the old demon’s words.

“Hanzo, shut up.” Demon Emperor Balmond glanced calmly at the bulky soldier before he shifted his gaze back to the old demon. 

“You mean that the man you mentioned might be as strong as me? Is this what you’re trying to say, Jun?” Demon Emperor Balmond felt curious about this man. He had the urge to meet him in person, but he still has important matters to take care of. 

Demon Ancestor Jun nodded his head solemnly. “Your Majesty, this man is capable of brewing such precious wines and even the lotus building he created is beyond mysterious. He planted dozens of rare spiritual herbs outside this lotus building, but as you know, the soil of Morlon City isn’t good for these types of precious spiritual plants. Furthermore, his subordinates aren’t weak either…” 

Demon Emperor Balmond became silent when he heard that. ‘A man who might be a Void God Realm expert like me… Has strong subordinates and is capable of brewing precious wines… Too bad I can’t meet you yet…’ 

After a brief moment of silence, the Demon Emperor glanced at the bulky demon soldier named Hanzo. “Hanzo, the crown prince will be back from his trip to the Profound Dragon Continent. Make sure that he will come back to this castle within a month. As for you, Jun, since this man doesn’t appear to be hostile, don’t provoke him carelessly. Maintain good relationships with him and make sure that your subordinates would not spoil things before I go there.” 

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The two demons replied respectfully. 

“All right. Leave now.” 

Hanzo and Demon Ancestor Jun bowed deeply at the Demon Emperor before they left the throne room. When the two men left, Demon Emperor Balmond who was seated on the throne stared in the direction of Morlon City with interest.

“We will meet soon…” He smiled mysteriously before he disappeared from the throne room.

“General Armand, we’ve fully recovered!” A soldier exclaimed excitedly as he checked his arms. There were no longer any wounds and even his internal injuries were healed. 

The bespectacled soldier adjusted his glasses and said. “The Blood Lingzhi is a Nascent-rank spiritual herb capable of healing even the most extreme internal wounds. I thought the effects of this herb were exaggerated. Only now I learned how true it was…” 

The general nodded his head at those words. He was also surprised at how fast his men were able to recover after eating the Blood Lingzhi. Not to mention that they only consumed half of the whole herb. Of course, he had long since kept the other half in his space ring. It would be handy in the days to come…

“Since all of you have recovered, let’s go back inside the store and give thanks to the esteemed sir. Without his help, we would have died in the streets of Morlon City…” General Armand said as he walked inside the lotus building. His subordinates trailed behind him with anticipation. 

When they went inside the building, they saw Jiu Shen sitting calmly on a chair. He was chugging a bottle of wine with a thoughtful look on his face. It was unknown what this man was thinking. 

‘To think that I would miss that little tiger…’ Jiu Shen muttered in his heart as he thought of Ice.
