The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 557: Asgard

The tea had a vibrant golden color. It was shining resplendently within the glass as if it had a life of its own.

Jiu Shen grabbed the glass and took a light sniff. He felt that his mind has instantly become clearer when the refreshing aroma entered his nostrils. "Good tea!" He could tell right away that this was a tea of the highest quality. Something that he hasn't tasted in his life.

Elena smiled gently upon hearing his words. She cupped her face with the palm of her hands and watched the two silently.

Jiu Shen gracefully took a sip of the tea with his eyes closed. His actions were refined and filled with elegance, making Elena's eyes shine in admiration.

On the other hand, Jian Wang also tried to look like a gentleman, but his actions lacked the charm that Jiu Shen had. Even so, he still didn't lose out in terms of dignity.

Seeing this, Elena took out two saucers and placed them on the table. It was a mistake on her part to forget this since it was a necessity during tea sessions.

Jiu Shen smiled as he placed the glass on the saucer. "I can tell that you added a generous amount of Undying God Spring in this tea. There are also a few Heavenly-rank herbs added, but there are two ingredients that I couldn't identify. Could you please enlighten me about this, Elena?"

Elena stared at him with a praising look. This guy managed to tell the ingredients used to make the tea after a small sip. "So you're also a tea lover... That's right. I used twelve Heavenly-rank herbs as ingredients and three Celestial-rank ingredients. One leaf of Eonic Ragarwood Tree for clearing the mind. I used the Undying God Spring as the base liquid. As for the last ingredient... one Undying Pearl."

"What?! Did you just say Undying Pearl?!" Jian Wang who was quietly listening became agitated.

"So that's the final ingredient, huh? To think that you would use such a thing to make your tea. The Undying Pearl is an item that is classified as something that exceeds the Celestial-rank and you actually dare say that it's just a Celestial-rank ingredient..." Jiu Shen's mouth twitched as he stared at Elena.

The Undying Pearl is a natural item that can only be produced by a billion-year-old Undying God Spring. It only produces one such pearl every one billion years! It was an item that has never been seen in the Primordial God Realm for many years.

Jian Wang glanced at Jiu Shen with an exasperated look. "You're both the same. You also used Celestial-rank ingredients to create your wines. The two of you are kindred spirits..."

Hearing that, Jiu Shen ignored him and just calmly enjoyed the tea.

"Oh? I want to try Jiu Shen's tea!" Elena eagerly said.

"He's selling his wines cheaply. I don't know what has gotten in his head. If it was me, I would price those wines excessively." Jian Wang shook his head with a wry smile.

Jiu Shen placed the glass on the saucer and turned his gaze towards Elena. "I'm planning to move my wine store to the Heavenly Sword Region. I would like to invite you to join us in the celebration."

Elena pondered deeply upon hearing that. She had a hesitant look on her face as if troubled by something, but in the end, she flashed a smile as she asked him. "Are you sure that you want to invite me, Jiu Shen?"

Her enchanting voice carried deep meaning, but Jiu Shen simply nodded his head at her.

"Of course." He answered.

"You might regret it, Jiu Shen." A look of worry flashed in her gaze for a moment, but she hurriedly concealed it when Jiu Shen glanced at her.

"It's just a celebration. If you don't want to come, then it's fine as well." Jiu Shen shrugged his shoulders.

Elena sighed in her heart. 'What should I do?'

She wanted to see the world beyond this limitless forest, but an ancient promise has bound her in this place. If she were to break the promise, 'that person' might be furious...

"Jiu Shen, if I leave this forest, the people from that place might come down to punish me..." She muttered in a helpless voice.

"Are you talking about the floating city?" Jiu Shen frowned as he looked at her.

Jian Wang also put his glass down and stared at them with a serious expression.

Elena summoned a spiritual barrier around her house and nodded her head. "That's right. The floating city is called Asgard. Don't ask me anything about it since I also don't know much about that place. However, I know a few things about the three towers in Asgard."

This time, Jiu Shen and Jian Wang remained silent and listened to her.

"The first one is called the Hall of Life and Death. It is responsible for guiding the souls of those who had died in the Primordial God Realm. The next one is called the Hall of War and the last one is called the Hall of Creation."

Jiu Shen and Jian Wang were both silent at her words. From the looks of it, the floating city called Asgard had a mysterious history that nobody in the Primordial God Realm knew about.

"Do you have information about the last two halls?" Jiu Shen asked.

"I only knew of the Hall of Life and Death since I knew the Hall Master. The Hall of Might is responsible for the safety of Asgard and I have no idea about the Hall of Creation." She answered.

"Asmodeus... He is a Hall Master of one of those three Halls. Am I right?"

Elena glanced at Jiu Shen and nodded her head.

She wasn't surprised that he had reached this conclusion. Asmodeus' actions were so obvious that even Jian Wang who only had swordsmanship in his mind was already suspicious of him.

"Asmodeus is the Hall Master of the Hall of Life and Death. He was also the person who told me about this information. Although, he only told me about the superficial details."

"I see..." Jiu Shen leaned on his chair and closed his eyes.

'Asmodeus wasn't that strong in terms of fighting prowess, but he should be able to fight equally against Jian Wang if he used his Array Formations. A person like this was a Hall Master of Asgard. That means the other two Hall Masters were at least on the same level as him.' Jiu Shen's mind began processing the possibilities with the information he got from Elena.
