'I'll check the rewards later. Now, I already have all the ingredients necessary in brewing the Frozen Origin. I'll rest for the remainder of the day and start the brewing process tomorrow.' Jiu Shen thought to himself as he streaked through the skies.
After transmigrating in the world of Nuar, Jiu Shen felt carefree and burden-free. He wasn't that idle in the brutal environment of the Primordial God Realm, so he was enjoying his time here.
He wasn't in a hurry to go back to the Primordial God Realm. Anyway, he had all the time to exact his vengeance. Furthermore, he was too weak at the moment to fight against Celestial Emperor Lao Gou who was one of the three Celestial Emperors that ruled the whole multiverse...
Lu Sulan followed behind her master with a slightly expectant look. She was curious to see what kind of store her master had established in the capital city of the Silver Wing Empire.
"Master said that he owns a wine store in Beltran City. Considering my master's strength, he should be someone famous in Beltran City." Lu Sulan muttered to herself as she imagined what kind of store her master had in the capital city.
At the most bottom part of the Green Mountain Lake, a huge pair of reddish pupils emerged greatly scaring the smaller aquatic savage beasts swimming down below.
"They're finally leaving..." It muttered in a beastly and barbaric voice.

The Immortal's Wine Store.
With the recent rumors of a wine store that sells wine at absurd prices, the reputation of Jiu Shen's store reached its peak within Beltran City.
A few cultivators with great strengths visited the wine store to have a taste of the so-called miraculous wines that were capable of enhancing one's spiritual power and true essence.
Despite the high prices of the wines, many still chose to buy it especially after hearing so many things about its authenticity.
Of course, some experts also tried to cause trouble inside the store...
An arrogant-looking man in his late teens walked towards Jiu Shen's wine store with his hands behind his back. He was dressed in luxurious clothing with the insignia of the Xue Family on its back.
Behind the arrogant-looking young man were four individuals dressed like guards. All four of them were emitting an intimidating aura that made the people around them to unconsciously step back a couple of steps.
"Who is that kid? How dare he swagger around in Wine Master Jiu's territory like that?"
"Shhh! Don't you know who he is? He is Xue Tong the son of Xue Family's Supreme Elder!"
"Then do you know who Wine Master Jiu is? It is rumored that Wine Master Jiu is a reclusive expert who has the strength that was at least on par with the emperor!"
"What?! That strong?"
"Not just that. He is also..."
Xue Tong who was still enjoying the crowd's attention heard them talked animatedly about the mysterious owner of the wine store. It made him frown in annoyance since he didn't want the others to steal the limelight from him. He didn't believe the absurd rumors of this mysterious wine master at all. In fact, Xue Tong believed that he was merely a conman who was trying to act mysterious in order to gain a reputation for his store.
"That conman! If I ever see him, I'll show him what true strength and power is!" Xue Tong muttered with an incensed look as he clenched his fists tightly which produced a crackling sound of bones.
He then went inside Jiu Shen's wine store with a dark countenance. Following behind him were his four guards who didn't even bother glancing at the people around them.
When Xue Tong and his guards stepped inside the store, they were given a bit of scare. They realized that the space inside the store was much bigger than how it looked outside.
"This... Space Manipulation?!" Xue Tong exclaimed in shock.
As the son of the Xue Family's Supreme Elder, Xue Tong had learned a lot about many things. This included the very profound and arcane ability of space manipulation. With his father's teachings, Xue Tong learned that only strong individuals were capable of manipulating space.
'As far as I can remember, only those at the 10th-rank God realm were capable of controlling the power of space. But the possibility of this store's owner being at that level is quite low. The only possibility is that he has a high-level spatial treasure that was capable of controlling space!' Xue Tong thought to himself. His eyes flashed with a hint of avarice when his thoughts reached that point, but he then hurriedly concealed it.
'Although there is a high possibility of this space treasure existing. It is still but a possibility. As of the moment, I should act like a normal customer and slowly gather clues.' Xue Tong's eyes glowed cunningly as he smirked.
"Hello, guest. What would you like to order?" A beautiful and pleasing voice entered Xue Tong's ears. He frowned and glanced towards the source of the voice only to see the most beautiful goddess that he had ever seen in all his life.
She was a beauty with long fiery red hair that reached her waist and a lithe figure that could make even the coldest of man fall in love. As for her face, it was the epitome of perfection!
With his eyes wide open, Xue Tong was tongue-tied and could not speak.
"Ehem." Hestia smiled and waited for Xue Tong to recover from his shocked state.
It wasn't the first time that this scene happened, so Hestia remained patient in waiting for the other party to gather his senses.
Actually, it wasn't just Xue Tong who was surprised at Hestia's otherworldly beauty. The four guards behind him were also looking at her with stunned faces.
"Ah- Ehem. Pa-Pardon my rudeness, young lady. Can you tell me your name please?" Xue Tong stuttered as he asked with an eager look.
Hestia smiled and replied in an angelic voice. "My name is Hestia. Welcome, dear guest. What would you like to order?"
