The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 485: Nostalgia



Chapter 485: Nostalgia

Jiu Shen looked calmly at the old man. He had long white hair and sword-like eyebrows. He looked sharp for his age and there was a strong sword aura gushing out of him unconsciously. 'A swordsman?' Jiu Shen thought when he sensed the sword aura.

"No problem!" Jiu Shen answered with a smile. If a fight was to happen here, it would be disadvantageous for him, but things wouldn't be the same in the dragon building!

Yin Long smiled upon hearing this. "Great! I've heard that the wines sold in your store have beneficial effects even to top cultivators. Can you tell me more about this?" He initiated a conversation. He wanted to see if he could dig up something from this man without being suspicious.

If this man was indeed connected with the founder's teacher, he wouldn't casually tell others about his origin. After all, Jiu Shen, the teacher of the founder was killed by Celestial Emperor Lao Gou himself! To be specific, he was captured and sealed inside the God Sealing Tower and was subjected to cruel torture for millions of years! Just thinking about that made Yin Long's spine crawl in dread.

Yin Long was planning how to get information from Jiu Shen.

The two flew towards the dragon building. It was the most beautiful place in Hard Rock City, the area around the dragon building was also beautified under the City Lord's order.

Yin Long was a bit surprised when he saw the appearance of the dragon building. He thought that the disciple who informed him about its existence was just exaggerating his words, but it seemed like he was truthful. However, when he moved closer to the golden gates, he frowned. He noticed that there was a strong Protective Array Formation inscribed to protect this place. He wouldn't have noticed it if not for his strong spiritual power!

"So you noticed it?" Jiu Shen glanced at Yin Long with a smile when he saw the sudden change in the latter's expression.

"Don't worry. That Protective Array Formation is only meant for dangerous situations. I didn't even use it when the Shadow God Sect's people came here to cause trouble." Jiu Shen muttered with the same nonchalant smile.

Hearing this, Yin Long no longer dared to treat Jiu Shen casually. From the disciple's information, he said that this Jiu Shen revealed the strength of a peak stage Heavenly God Realm expert! If it was true, even he wouldn't be able to escape his grasp!

"I can't believe that there's actually a hidden expert living in our region. It's truly surprising!" Yin Long let out a smile, though it was a bit forced.

When they entered beyond the golden gates, Yin Long saw a massive garden filled with spiritual plants that emitted strong suppressive auras. 'Heavenly God-rank spiritual plants?! It's actually true! Just how much good stuff is in this man's possession?! No wonder the Shadow God Sect decided to open steal from him...'

'His name is Jiu Shen. His strength is at the peak stage of the Heavenly God Realm. His weapon is also a sword... Could it be, he's alive? No way!' Yin Long frowned as he drowned in his thoughts. He didn't even notice that they were already inside the dragon building. He only became aware of this when he heard the loud noise coming from the chattering of the customers.

"There are a lot of people here, so I apologize in advance for the noise." Jiu Shen with an apologetic look. He then led Yin Long to an empty spot and gestured for him to sit down.

The two men sat opposite each other.

"Tell me your real intentions." Jiu Shen broke the silence. His voice was calm as he uttered those words.

Yin Long was a bit surprised that he was seen through. It seems like he had underestimated this man. He then put on a serious look as he asked. "Do you know Xuan Kaisheng?"

Jiu Shen's expressionless face revealed a hint of nostalgia when he heard this name... He recalled the face of a young man who had a high talent in swordsmanship. This young man begged him for many years to take him as a disciple, but Jiu Shen always rejected him. After many years of pleading, Jiu Shen finally decided to start a lecture about swordsmanship for the young man and also for the others who wanted to take him as their master. That was when his lonely days began to take a different turn.

"Xuan Kaisheng... Is he still alive?" Jiu Shen glanced at Yin Long as he slowly calmed himself.

Yin Long's eyes widened when he heard this. This was equivalent to him admitting that he was Jiu Shen! But how was he still alive?

"You are... It's you!" Yin Long stood up from his seat and wanted to bow at Jiu Shen, but the latter immediately pushed Yin Long back to his chair.

"There are many people here, so don't do something that would attract their attention. Yes, it's me, Jiu Shen, the teacher of Xuan Kaisheng. From the way you act, you must be his friend." Jiu Shen sighed. He couldn't believe that he would meet someone that was somehow connected to him in his past life.

"I'm from the God Sword Region! The sect that Xuan Kaisheng created after he became a Heavenly God Realm expert!"

Yin Long's face was enveloped with excitement when Jiu Shen admitted his identity.

He is alive! The founder's teacher is alive!

"Pardon me for asking this, but how did you survive being sealed inside the God Sealing Tower?" He could not help but ask.

Jiu Shen let out a mocking smile as he replied. "Survive? I didn't survive. I died, but it's a long story, so I'd rather skip that part. Since you are a friend of Xuan Kaisheng, tell me, how did die?" He asked solemnly.

Yin Long's face suddenly turned grim as he slowly answered. "When he heard about your death, he rallied the Sword God Region and a few other sects to join him in avenging you. However, we were effortlessly defeated by the Celestial Paragon Tower. He was killed at that time..."
