Chapter 339 - Frigid Moonlight Sunflower



Chapter 339 - Frigid Moonlight Sunflower

Jiu Shen was still searching for the Frigid Moonlight Sunflower within the depths of the forest. However, for someone searching for an Origin-rank spiritual plant, he looked quite at ease. He doesn’t seem the least bit bothered about the treacherous spiritual plants and flowers all around him.

If one would look closely, one would see that these spiritual plants and flowers were actually shivering as Jiu Shen walked past them. Some of them even fled at the sight of him. For Jiu Shen, this wasn’t a good news. If the Frigid Moonlight Sunflower would escape at the sight of him, then it would be a bit troublesome to capture it.

"It looks like I have to remain hidden within this forest or I might waste a couple more days to capture the Frigid Moonlight Sunflower." After muttering those words, Jiu Shen’s figure blurred before vanishing in a blink of an eye.

In truth, Jiu Shen used a stealth technique capable of masking his figure and his aura. Even a Demon Ancestor could not feel his presence if he was using this technique!

Jiu Shen silently navigated the forest while in stealth mode. He occasionally encountered a couple of precious Origin-rank spiritual plants, but he merely glanced at them for a moment. He wasn’t here for them, so he disregarded their presence.

"I’m close to the location. The savage beasts living here have also become noticeably stronger. However, they are still of no threat to me even if I cancel my stealth mode..." Jiu Shen eyed a huge mountain-like rhino that had a long and horn on top of its head. It was sleeping soundly beside a vast lake. Its nostrils emitted a gas of hot air as it breathed out the carbon dioxide in its lungs.

Jiu Shen reluctantly took his eyes away from the humongous rhino. "This guy should be a descendant of a Giant White Rhino. Its meat is one of the tastiest delicacies in the Primordial God Realm. A pity that this one has yet to awaken its ancient bloodline. Killing it is not worth it." Jiu Shen shook his head as he sighed. He then moved his gaze to the center of the lake.

As he was scanning his gaze, he saw a large number of winged fishes jumping from time to time. However, he ignored these beautiful fishes. Jiu Shen’s gaze was focused entirely on a stalk of a spiritual flower. It was within a small island at the center of the lake. It was roughly thousands of meters away from Jiu Shen, but he could see it clearly as if it was in front of him.

Jiu Shen’s golden eyes flashed with glee when he saw the spiritual plant. It was a stalk of Frigid Moonlight Sunflower!

"Hm... This stalk of Frigid Moonlight Sunflower should be under the protection of that Giant White Rhino descendant. The moment I capture, it would definitely awaken from its slumber..." Jiu Shen was contemplating how he could get his hands on this stalk of spiritual flower as he directly flew towards the small island.

Jiu Shen glanced at the slumbering Giant White Rhino with a pondering look. He raised his finger and produced a thin ice arrow. However, when he saw the peaceful look of the savage beast, Jiu Shen retracted his finger and shook his head. A light sigh escaped from his lips. "I’ve become softhearted after arriving in this world..."

Jiu Shen turned around and teleported in front of the Frigid Moonlight Sunflower.

At this moment, the sleeping rhino was still unaware that its life was spared...

"I won’t kill you, but I will be taking this stalk as compensation for sparing your life." Jiu Shen said as he swiped his hand towards the Frigid Moonlight Sunflower. The spiritual plant which was unaware of his presence was caught unprepared and Jiu Shen immediately put it inside his space earring.

The process took no longer than a second and Jiu Shen’s silhouette was nowhere to be seen. Not long later, an angry howl reverberated within this part of the forest, scaring the birds and savage beasts in the vicinity.

Floating above the ground, the huge rhino glanced furiously at the small island. It was searching for the stalk of Frigid Moonlight Sunflower that was under its protection, but it was nowhere to be seen. Realizing this, the savage beast raised its large head and let out a frightening roar that shook the skies.

Rooaarrr!

"Who stole it?! Roaarrr!!!"

Jiu Shen who was already far from the lake chuckled lightly when he heard the ferocious cry of the savage beast. The rhino must have noticed that the Frigid Moonlight Sunflower had vanished from the small island.

"With this stalk, I can finally brew my own wine recipe, but I can’t leave the forest yet. I still have to wait for those Purple Feathered Flame Eagle and refine the Sky Breaking Pill and the Primal Blood Awakening Pill for their leader. Hopefully, their tribe would not take too much time to procure the ingredients." Jiu Shen’s figure turned into a blur and disappeared into the skies.

"Here are your orders. Enjoy." Burlock said as he neatly placed the wines ordered by the Demon Ancestor and the four Demon Lords.

Demon Ancestor Jun glanced curiously at the bottle of wine in his withered hands. It looks just like any other ordinary wine except for the glimmering liquid inside the wine bottle. His anticipation grew when he noticed this. He hasn’t seen a wine this clear and free of impurities.

The old demon unhurriedly pulled the cork and when he did, his face changed. "This..."

A wave of tempting aroma caressed his nostrils. His narrowed eyes widened in surprise. His thin withered hands were shaking as he poured wine into his cup. The trickling sound of wine as he poured it into his cup was pleasant to the ears. All the negative emotions he felt evaporated into thin air as he stared intently at the cup of wine in his hand. "Just the smell alone is already more than its price..."

Demon Ancestor Jun raised the cup to his mouth and inhaled it one last time. His eyes lit up with eagerness and he immediately drank it.

The four Demon Lords stared at the old demon with smiles on their faces. They saw the changing expressions of the Demon Ancestor. Although he did not express an exaggerated look, there was still a glimmer of shock on his aged face. To this scene, the four Demon Lords were happy. They could already imagine the rewards that they would get from the Demon Ancestor.

The old demon placed his cup back on the table and grabbed the bottle of Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit without caring for his image. He then drank the wine directly from the bottle. Even the four Demon Lords were gobsmacked when they witness this.

"Good wine! Excellent!" The old demon’s aged face broke into a silly grin as he glanced lovingly at the bottle in his hand.

Burlock who was standing near their table smiled at the scene, but he was also growing worried. When the Demon Ancestor notices the effects of the Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit, he would surely demand to get more of it. If this happens, it would be really troublesome since Jiu Shen was still not around. ’Wine Master Jiu Shen, please come back soon. I can’t buy you that much time...’

"Wait... This is..." Demon Ancestor Jun suddenly felt his Sword Intent had grown a lot stronger. His mouth was wide open after he shockingly discovered the effects of the wine he was drinking. At this moment, he was certain that his subordinates had told him the truth!

A sharp sword aura enveloped the old demon’s sitting figure, but it was mysteriously isolated by an invisible force.

Hm?!

Demon Ancestor Jun’s eyebrows shot upwards when he noticed this. His sword aura had unconsciously gushed out when his Sword Intent was strengthened, but before he could even retract it, he sensed that it was abruptly vanquished by an unknown force! No one else inside the store had sensed it other than him.

A shred of doubt flashed in the old demon’s gaze. ’Who negated my sword aura? Even a Demon Ancestor would need more time to forcefully negate my sword aura, but it was actually vanquished in less than a second by an unknown force?! Who is it?!’

Of course, this was done by the system. However, the old demon thought that it was done by a person.

Demon Ancestor Jun became cautious after this event. He did not dare search for the ’mysterious individual’ who had vanquished his sword aura.

’To think that there is actually such an expert hiding here in Morlon City! Perhaps only His Majesty could contend with this individual... I just hope that his presence would not be detrimental for our Demon Race...’ Demon Ancestor Jun thought worriedly in his heart.. He guessed that this ’mysterious individual’ should be the owner of this store. However, he was unaware that Jiu Shen was never there and it was the system that had taken out his sword aura!
