The Immortal's Wine Store Chapter 132 - New Mission

Chapter 132 - New Mission

While the young men were cleaning up the place, Jiu Shen was pondering deeply on what he should do next. "These kids' bodies are still too weak to start training with my method. I should first help them nourish their bodies before I start training them." Jiu Shen muttered to himself as he stared at the situation within the establishment.
Some of the young men were only doing what they were told to do and they simply cleaned the place using the cleaning tools that they found. However, there were a few among them that led a group on their own to make the cleaning process faster and efficient. Jiu Shen silently took note of the faces of these young men who possess the qualities of a leader, but he was still not impressed by this.
"None of them has a supreme physique, and they haven't started cultivating yet. However, this is much better. Just that, I will need a lot of resources if I want to increase their strength with their limited potential. Luckily, I have the Spirit World with me which has a limitless amount of resources, but getting them is slightly troublesome since they are located in different parts of the Spirit World. Looks like I need to break through to the Nascent God Realm as soon as possible so that I can refine the World Heart of the Spirit World and with the ability to freely teleport around the Spirit World, it will be easier to gather more resources." Jiu Shen muttered as he looked at the busy kids with a calm look.
The system told him that his strength was still insufficient to refine the World Heart of the Spirit World, but this was nothing to Jiu Shen since he was confident that he will achieve his break through as soon as he finishes more missions. Just that, there was no active mission for him yet, so he could only wait patiently.
And as if his prayer was heard, he suddenly heard the familiar notification sound of the system, making him feel a trace of anticipation. A smile slowly bloomed on his indifferent face.
- Ding!
- Mission: A hidden cave was discovered within the territory of Green Wood City. However, this was once a dwelling of a peak stage Nascent God who failed to break through to the Origin God Realm. In the deepest part of the cave, the system has detected the presence of several God Crystals which can be of help to the Host's cultivation.
Jiu Shen was surprised when he heard the contents of the mission. "How come there is an Origin God Realm in this world? With the thin amount of heavenly energy in Nuar, it's impossible for it to produce a character with such a level of strength. Unless... if he came from another world or even the Primordial God Realm..." Jiu Shen was now becoming more curious about Nuar's history. There was also that stone fragment from the supreme elder of the Alchemy Hall which definitely came from someone with alchemy standards that surpassed Nuar.
"Is it possible that Immortals had once come to Nuar? But why?" Jiu Shen thought of countless possible scenarios but he couldn't really tell what could have possibly happened to Nuar back then with the little bit of clue that he had.
"I'll ask Sulan about Nuar's history. She might know a thing or two about the era before the bloody war between the Demon Race and the Alliance." Jiu Shen muttered to himself. He had heard of the continental war that occurred more than fifty thousand years ago, but he was unsure if there were experts at the Nascent God Realm at that time. Although there were some rumors of the Nascent God Realm beasts' presence in the Divine Beast Continent, Jiu Shen still had not verified the authenticity of this. Nonetheless, this new mission made him feel a trace of expectation growing inside his heart.
Now, Jiu Shen was already eager to begin searching for this hidden cave that was within Green Wood City, but he still had to finish his matters here before he can leave. He also had to make some preparations before he would leave Beltran City especially after knowing that the Xue Family might be related to the Undying Corpse Sect. Although he didn't know the full strength of this sect, he had heard from Da Bi that their sect master was someone at the 9th-rank Saint. It would be fine if it was just their sect master who was at that level, but what if there were more experts at that level present in the Undying Corpse Sect? That was also why he sent Ren Shuang to monitor them.
Among Jiu Shen's people, the strongest was Ren Shuang who was at the peak stage of the 9th-rank Saint. He was just a step away from breaking through to the Nascent God Realm! Following behind him was Theia who was now at the mid stage of the 9th-rank Saint, then Lu Sulan who had just stepped onto the ranks of Saints. Behind them was Hestia who had just broken through the mid stage of the 8th-rank Divine, and lastly, Can Ye who was still at the late stage of the 6th-rank King.
With their strength, they can definitely protect themselves against the people from the Undying Corpse Sect, but what about the Silver Wing Empire? Without the empire, how can he continue his business?
Jiu Shen rubbed his temples as he thought. 'The Undying Corpse Sect seemed to be waiting for an opportunity, but why are they not making a move yet? According to my knowledge, the Silver Wing Empire's strongest expert was only Elyk and his strength has not even reached the 9th-rank Saint yet. So what's stopping them from attacking?'
While Jiu Shen was deep in his thoughts, the young men were still far from finishing their cleanup. Theia wasn't merciful when she killed the people here and she just mercilessly cut their bodies apart, leaving countless bloody remains and pools of blood around the entire establishment. With their current speed, it will take them until tomorrow to clean the whole place.
Not long later, Jiu Shen suddenly felt more than a dozen strong auras coming towards them. Each of them had the strength of a 5th-rank Spirit realm expert, and there was also one man at the 6th-rank King present among them. Behind these elites was the towering meatball Fatty Xue. He was wearing a merciless grin as he told these experts to go inside the beast fighting arena.
"Brothers, that bitch is inside my territory and she even killed my subordinates! If you can apprehend her, I will pay you all handsomely. Furthermore, that little bitch doesn't look that bad. Maybe you can even have a go at her while you're at it. Hahaha!" Fatty Xue laughed lasciviously, making his fat cheeks tremble and bounce. The people he brought here this time were lawless bandits that had some dealings with their Xue Family. He was confident that they were capable of apprehending the young woman that had stormed his place.
The man who was at the 6th-rank King smiled lecherously when he heard that they were capturing a young woman. The flames of lust and desire within his eyes burned intensely like a raging flame. "Young Master Xue, you don't have to worry now that we are here. As for that bitch, she will naturally experience the best treatment from us brothers. Hahaha!"
The rest of the bandits laughed as well and the look in their eyes betrayed the dirty thought inside their head.
Fatty Xue chuckled contemptuously in his heart, but he still put on a smile on his face as he looked at the leader of the bandits. "Of course! Of course! With the big brothers here, that little bitch will surely be captured. I just hope that big brothers will let me have a taste of that damnable woman as well. Hehehe."
The bandits laughed loudly when they heard his words, but they still nodded their heads. Although this Fatty Xue looked like a useless pile of fats, he was still someone from the Xue Family and they didn't have the courage to go against them, so they immediately agreed at his request. "Of course! It's not a problem at all, Young Master Xue! As long as you can pay us brothers, then you can do anything you want to that woman. Hahaha!"
Fatty Xue smiled from ear to ear when he heard their respectful reply.
As Fatty Xue and the bandits discussed their plan, they didn't know that there was a pair of cold and serene eyes looking at them from the shadows with undisguised killing intent...
