The Immortal's Wine Store Chapter 66
Advertisement
Master Fengzi and the four Alchemy Emperors sat down and glanced at each other with weird looks lingering on their faces.
They didn't expect that their visit here would shock them senseless. Who in their right mind would make a 9th-rank Saint realm expert serve as a door guard? Not just that, there was even an 8th-rank Divine realm expert acting as the waitress...
Suddenly, their overall impression of the mysterious Alchemy Saint Jiu Shen increased by several degrees.
"What would you like to order, dear guests?" Hestia smiled as she asked the alchemists with the same unchanging smile she gives every day.
Master Fengzi glanced at Hestia with respect and replied in a slightly careful tone. "Do you have a menu here, young lady?"
Hestia smiled apologetically and said. "Unfortunately we don't have a menu yet, dear guest. But all the things sold inside is written in that blackboard." She then pointed a blackboard hanging inconspicuously at the front.
Master Fengzi and the four Alchemy Emperors followed the direction she was pointing and saw a small blackboard with rows of words written neatly.
When they saw the prices, they were somewhat stunned, but they never showed the surprise they were feeling. They were only a bit curious about the high prices...
Master Fengzi's expression remained the same as he took a glance at the prices. He then smiled at Hestia and said. "Five Deep Sea Spring Dew for us please, young lady."
Hestia had long since felt the cultivation of these new guests, so she wasn't surprised about what they ordered. She merely gave them a nod and said with a radiant look. "One Deep Sea Spring Dew is 120 True Crystals. You ordered five, so that would be 600 True Crystals. Is there anything else, dear guests?"

"That's it for now, young lady." Master Fengzi chuckled.
'Although this is Alchemy Saint Jiu Shen's wine store, who knows if he's also a good wine maker right?' The alchemists thought in their hearts.
After getting their reply, Hestia gracefully turned around to get them their wines.
"Branch Head Fengzi, this store doesn't look normal at all. The manipulation of space, the strength of the staffs, and the way the customers' are acting..." The middle-aged alchemist voiced out his thoughts with his eyebrows knitted closely together. This man's name was Wang Wei, one of the four vice branch head of the Beltran City Alchemy Hall Branch.
Master Fengzi eyed Wang Wei with a deep gaze making the latter swallow down the words he was about to speak.
"Remember, this place is the turf of Alchemy Saint Jiu Shen. Someone like him is not short on experts serving under his wings. Don't talk too much lest you inadvertently incur his displeasure." Master Fengzi said in a serious tone.
Master Fengzi suddenly recalled the words of their Alchemy Hall's supreme elder during his younger years.
"Fengzi, your talent in the art of alchemy is astonishing that even I wouldn't dare take you in as my disciple. But even so, I will still pass you the entire Alchemy Hall when you become an Alchemy Saint yourself." A kind-looking old man with long white hair said as he patted the back of the then middle-aged Master Fengzi.
"Supreme Elder, even if you don't take me in as your disciple, I will still remember you as my teacher." The middle-aged Master Fengzi replied in a serious voice.
The supreme elder's lips quivered. The old man then chuckled heartily to mask his emotions. "Just remember this Fengzi. No matter how strong you become, don't let your achievements boost your ego. Because there is always someone out there who is much stronger than you."

Master Fengzi let out an emotional sigh after recalling that event. 'I should visit the supreme elder after this and tell him about Alchemy Saint Jiu Shen. Perhaps the supreme elder knows something about him.' He thought to himself.
"Dear guests, here's your order of Five Deep Sea Spring Dew. Enjoy." Hestia's voice echoed beside the alchemists' ears like a sweet melody making their tensed nerves calm down by a margin.
Hestia carefully placed the five bottles on their table and she also gave them one small silver cup each.
"Thanks, young lady. But before you go, can I ask if Alchemy Saint Jiu Shen is here?" Master Fengzi asked feeling a bit nervous. He really wanted to see Jiu Shen once again and speak with him about the art of alchemy.
Hestia raised her eyebrows, feeling a bit surprised. But she then relaxed after sensing that the other party didn't have any ill-intentions. "My master is currently brewing wine, but he should be here any time soon." She replied.
Master Fengzi heaved a relieved sigh when he heard Hestia's reply. "Oh, really? That's great to hear. Honestly, I would like to speak with your master about-."
"Eh, isn't this the little brat from the Alchemy Hall?" A calm and indifferent voice cut off Master Fengzi's speech midway.
Master Fengzi's lips twitched when he heard the familiar voice. He then searched where it came from and saw a handsome man with long silver hair standing right in front of the kitchen's entrance with his arms crossed against each other.
The same lazy demeanor can also be felt from him, but the alchemists didn't dare belittle him for this man was the one they're looking for. The mysterious Alchemy Saint that manifested the Pill Aurora when he concocted the 8th-grade Invigorating Meridians Pill, Alchemy Saint Jiu Shen.
"Alchemy Saint Jiu Shen!" Master Fengzi stood up from his seat and gave Jiu Shen a respectful bow. The four Alchemy Emperors followed suit despite not being there to witness Jiu Shen's magnificence when he concocted the Invigorating Meridians Pill. Branch Head Fengzi had no reason to lie to them about something so significant. Furthermore, many other alchemists were there to tell the tale.
When the customers inside the store heard the words 'Alchemy Saint Jiu Shen', their eyes went wide like saucers. They then glanced at the silver-haired Jiu Shen with even more respect and awe.
Everyone didn't doubt the authenticity even the slightest bit. They could feel the sincerity of the alchemists when they bowed to Jiu Shen. And knowing their great status, they would never bow to just any random person.
"So Wine Master Jiu is also an Alchemy Saint?" Boss Scar felt his mouth go dry with this revelation.
'The low-key and unassuming Wine Master Jiu was actually an Alchemy Saint?!' The customers' hearts were now in a frenzied state. Who could blame them? That was an Alchemy Saint!
An expert at that level would never show himself in front of everyone for no reason! And to think that the owner of the Immortal's Wine was actually an Alchemy Saint himself!
'Okay... I should abandon my plans on stealing that space treasure...' Xue Tong muttered in his heart, feeling really scared at the moment.
