Chapter 107 - Second Disciple

Chapter 107 - Second Disciple

Jiu Shen’s present cultivation was at the late stage of the 9th-rank Saint realm, but the gulf towards the next realm wasn’t that easy to cross. Now that he has two Fruits of Cultivation, he felt that it won’t be long to reach that level.

- Ding!

- Host, would you like to claim your rewards now?

"No. I’ll open it later." Jiu Shen answered.

After a little more than an hour, the emperor left with Defender Duanmu and the imperial guards. Emperor Elyk was satisfied with his discussion with Wine Master Jiu. Although he wasn’t able to convince the latter in going to the Alliance with him, Emperor Elyk still managed to establish a good relationship with Jiu Shen.

Jiu Shen merely asked for a hundred slaves, and with the emperor’s power, it wouldn’t be a problem to gather that much in a day’s time. On the other hand, he will be getting a VIP card from Jiu Shen. Emperor Elyk could not help but laugh at the thought of it.

Defender Duanmu and the imperial guards were surprised at the emperor’s behavior, but they were gratified to see him happy. After all, the Silver Wing Empire has experienced a lot of conflicts and disputes lately that the emperor no longer had much time to rest. This made his loyal subordinates to feel heartbroken.

"Your Majesty, it seems that your discussion with Wine Master Jiu ended up great. Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Defender Duanmu said while looking at the emperor curiously. He truly wanted to know just what made Emperor Elyk so happy that his smile almost stretched to his ears.

Emperor Elyk glanced at the old defender and chuckled. "Old Duanmu, Wine Master Jiu will give me something great tomorrow. I don’t think anyone else within the Profound Dragon Continent has this item."

Defender Duanmu became even more curious about this item that the emperor spoke about. "Your Majesty, you truly want this old man to die in curiosity." The old defender said with a wry smile.

Emperor Elyk laughed heartily and urged his mount to sprint forward.

Defender Duanmu shook his head and smiled faintly. "No matter what is, I’ll eventually know about it soon. Our relationship with Wine Master Jiu should have improved, right? Being acquainted with such an expert is the good fortune of His Majesty. I just hope that Wine Master Jiu will be there if our Silver Wing Empire faces a calamity." He muttered as he gave a kick to his mount, urging it to follow behind the emperor.

Inside Jiu Shen’s wine store.

Jiu Shen glanced at Can Ye and sent a message to him telepathically. "Go sit here with me. I have something to discuss with you."

Can Ye almost jumped in fright when he suddenly heard someone speak inside his head, but the voice was very familiar to him. He then turned his gaze at Jiu Shen and saw the latter pointing a chair in front of him. ’So, he wants to discuss something with me?’ Can Ye thought.

Can Ye smiled at Hu Xiandao and said apologetically. "Lord Hu, please excuse me for a moment."

Hu Xiandao waved him off and replied. "No worries. Go ahead, Brother Can."

Can Ye gave him a fist-palm salute before he walked towards Jiu Shen’s direction.

"Greetings, Lord Alchemy Saint." Can Ye bowed respectfully.

"Sit." Jiu Shen said with an indifferent voice.

Can Ye felt pressured sitting in front of such an esteemed individual like Jiu Shen. He did not even dare to lift his head to take a look at the latter, but in the end, he was still the first one to break their silence. "Lord Alchemy Saint, I want to express my gratitude to you for saving my life. No matter what you want me to do, I will get it done immediately."

"Oh, really? Then why does it seem like you have no intentions in giving back my kitchen knife?" Jiu Shen glanced at him calmly.

Can Ye almost spurted blood when he heard Jiu Shen’s words. ’What?! That peerless weapon was actually his kitchen knife?! I thought it was some godly saber...’

"That... I am naturally planning to give it back to you, Lord Alchemy Saint." Can Ye forced out a smile while scratching the back of his head. He truly had plans in keeping the knife for himself, but since Jiu Shen had already spoken, he didn’t dare hide it anymore.

"Lord Alchemy Saint, here’s your sab- kitchen knife..." Can Ye placed the knife on the table with a look of longing. Although it was only a knife, it was good enough to be used as a saber. Furthermore, it was even capable of cleaving a Divine Weapon in half, so the quality of this knife shouldn’t be ordinary, right?

Jiu Shen didn’t glance at the knife on the table and focus his gaze on Can Ye. "I can give you that knife, but you have to take me as your master."

Can Ye’s eyes popped out when Jiu Shen’s voice drifted. Without further hesitation, he stood up from his seat and immediately offered Jiu Shen three kowtows as he said in a solemn voice. "Disciple Can Ye greets master."

Jiu Shen didn’t stop him and merely glance at him with a satisfied look. Although Can Ye’s Peerless Saber Divine Body was only a divine physique, it was still very rare even in the Primordial God Realm.

The customers gasped in surprise at this sudden development. Who was Jiu Shen? He was Alchemy Saint! Anyone who becomes his disciple would surely experience a massive change in fate! Liu Mengdi and the others could only glance at Can Ye enviously.

Jiu Shen flicked his fingers making Can Ye abruptly stand up. "You’re my second disciple, and I naturally have to give you a gift for taking me as your master, but that has to wait for now."

Can Ye was feeling an intense excitement in his heart. He was already in his forties and he had no hopes in breaking through to the 9th-rank Saint realm with his current cultivation speed, but he now had a master who was an Alchemy Saint!

"I will introduce you to your senior sister later." Jiu Shen added.

"Congratulations, Wine Master Jiu!"

"Congratulations, Brother Can!"

The customers offered their felicitations to the men, making the store somewhat boisterous.
