Chapter 338 - Calmly Walking In The Forest

Demon Ancestor Jun stared at the menu in his thin withered hands. There were pictures of a few wines drawn on the piece of laminated paper and there were also lines of words beside each picture, indicating the names and prices of the wines.

Mystic Jade - 1 Blood Stone

Ables Blanc - 5 Blood Stones

Frozen Origin - 55 Blood Stones

Deep Sea Spring Dew - 120 Blood Stones

Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit - 500 Blood Stones

The murky eyes of the old demon flashed with incredulity after glancing at the prices of the wines, but when he recalled the effects mentioned by the four Demon Lords, his gaze gradually softened. ’The price is indeed too much for a bottle of wine. However, if what my subordinates said is true, then these prices would be too cheap for such treasures.’

The old demon’s gaze locked onto the wine mentioned by his subordinates.

Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit- 500 Blood Stones

This amount would certainly scare the living daylights of most demons, but to someone like Demon Ancestor Jun, this much of Blood Stones is nothing.

"Burlock, give me a bottle of this Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit." The old demon said to Burlock as he pointed at the image drawn on the menu.

Burlock took the menu from the old demon’s hands and smiled politely at him. "Alright." He then glanced at the four Demon Lords and asked for their orders.

"Brother Burlock, I’ve already tasted the Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit. I want to try this Deep Sea Spring Dew this time. Oh, and uh... Add one bottle of Frozen Origin as well." Zorzoch handed the menu to Burlock as he uttered his order.

"I’ll take the same order as Brother Zorzoch." Zagan, the giant demon, let out a smile at Burlock.

"Brother Burlock, I want one order of each wine except the Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit." Azgonoth said with a hint of anticipation. He was subdued by the heavenly taste of the Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit and he was eager to try the rest of the wines sold in the store.

Seated beside him, Physoris chuckled in surprise when she heard Azgonoth’s order. She also wanted to try out the four other wines, but she wanted to maintain her elegant demeanor in front of the Demon Ancestor, so she reigned in her desire. "Brother Burlock, just give me a bottle of Deep Sea Spring Dew and Ables Blanc."

Burlock noted down their orders on a small piece of paper. "I’ve noted down all your orders. Wait for me here as I take your wines." He then turned around and walked towards the wine storage.

Demon Ancestor Jun glanced deeply at Burlock’s proud figure for a brief moment before shifting his gaze towards the interior of the store. Truthfully, he was amazed by the regal and imposing design of the lotus building. The outside of the store looks elegant and enchanting, while the inner part was full of luxury and regality. Even His Majesty’s imperial palace wasn’t as beautiful as this lotus building!

Demon Ancestor Jun moved his gaze towards the Origin-rank spiritual flowers planted on small pots. They were emitting a vibrant and dense amount of true essence, making the store refreshing and full of vitality. The orchid scent of the flowers made the old demon’s pores stealthily suck the surrounding air. ’I don’t even have a single Origin-rank spiritual flower in my abode, but this place has dozens of them. From the looks of it, the owner doesn’t even seem to place any importance on these precious flowers. Sigh.’

Demon Ancestor Jun sighed in his heart. At this moment, he believed that the owner of this store should be the expert that used his spiritual perception to scan the entire Morlon City just recently. However, the old demon was wondering what this mysterious owner was planning to do in this city.

In a forest filled with thick foliage, Jiu Shen walked calmly with his hands behind his back. There were a lot of carnivorous trees and spiritual plants around him, but Jiu Shen remained unperturbed. Each step he took left an icy footprint on the grassy ground which slowly made the surrounding temperature fall.

A few brave carnivorous trees suddenly extended their spiked roots towards Jiu Shen, intending to pierce him to death. Some vicious spiritual plants also shoot thousands of needle-like thorns in his direction.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Jiu Shen’s expressionless face remained unchanged. As if the attacks aimed his way was something not to be worried about. Suddenly, his golden eyes flashed and the space around Jiu Shen seemed to have slowed down.

At this moment, he could see the thousands of needle-like thorns suspended in midair as well as the spiked roots that were about to hit his face. Facing this scene, Jiu Shen lifted his finger and a drop of crystal-clear water came out at the tip of his finger. This small globule of water abruptly grew larger and enveloped Jiu Shen’s whole body like a shield.

Time went back to normal and the needle-like thorns speedily struck towards Jiu Shen, but before they could even touch his body, the thin veil of water around Jiu Shen turned these sharp thorns into thin pieces of ice before they crumpled down into specks of dust! The spiked roots weren’t any better. They also turned into ice and broke into small pieces!

The veil of water around Jiu Shen had the power of ice! And the sheer ease of his control made it look stunning beyond compare!

If someone else was to witness this absurd scene, their eyes would have popped out of their sockets. The carnivorous spiritual plants and trees around Jiu Shen were at least of Origin-rank, but he took care of them without even a shred of effort!

When the spiritual plants sensed Jiu Shen’s incredible power, they hurriedly ran away from him, escaping in all directions. The area around Jiu Shen suddenly became devoid of trees and spiritual plants...

Looking at the fleeing spiritual plants, Jiu Shen chuckled lightly. He didn’t care about these ’little things’ since his primary goal in going here was to search for the Frigid Moonlight Sunflower, the core ingredient of his wine recipe.

"I’m almost there. Hopefully, those ’little things’ did not scare that stalk of Frigid Moonlight Sunflower." Jiu Shen muttered to himself.
