Chapter 70 - They Still Havent Paid...



Chapter 70 - They Still Haven\'t Paid...

"Master, here’s your Deep Sea Spring Dew." Hestia handed the bottle of wine to Jiu Shen with a smile on her face. She then stood behind Jiu Shen like an obedient maidservant waiting for her master’s order.

The alchemists looked envious after seeing how respectful the beautiful and kind Hestia was to Jiu Shen.

Jiu Shen pulled out the cork with two fingers and took a habitual sniff of the wine’s bursting aroma with his eyes closed.

Master Fengzi and the other four Alchemy Emperors were also able to smell the aromatic scent of the wine. They swallowed down their saliva and glanced away from the bottle in Jiu Shen’s hands.

"Ehem! Wine Master Jiu, after living here in the Silver Wing Empire for so long, it is my first time hearing about an Alchemy Saint being here. If you don’t mind me asking, you’re not a native of this empire, right?" Master Fengzi asked curiously. The alchemists beside him also glanced at Jiu Shen. They were obviously interested in this Alchemy Saint’s origins.

Jiu Shen remained silent and took a light sip from the bottle of wine in his hand. He then glanced at the alchemists who were now looking at him with probing eyes.

Jiu Shen’s gaze was one of extreme calmness as if no storm could move him.

"Is this what you came here for?" Jiu Shen asked with a poker face.

Master Fengzi’s eyes widened at his words and he could not help but stand up. He then bowed at Jiu Shen and spoke in an apologizing tone. "I’m sorry about that, Wine Master Jiu. Please pretend that I didn’t ask that question."

Jiu Shen nodded his head calmly and took another sip from his wine bottle.

"Wine Master Jiu, could you please enlighten us about the Pill Aurora? Even our supreme elder is clueless about it since we only saw it in an archaic carving left behind by the ancient civilization." Master Fengzi sighed and shook his head.

’I didn’t think that the standards of alchemy here is too outdated that they didn’t even know what Pill Aurora is...’ Jiu Shen thought to himself.

Jiu Shen wasn’t a great alchemist in his previous life. In fact, his level of alchemy was too low to be worthy of attention. He only picked it up as a hobby when he was very bored and had nothing else to do.

Jiu Shen placed the bottle of wine on the table and remained silent for a brief moment before he spoke. "There are six states of pill when it is successfully concocted: Low State, Medium State, High State, Peak State, Perfect State, and Profound State."

"But ah- Wine Master Jiu, we thought that there were only five states in total." Wang Wei, one of the Alchemy Emperors said with a baffled look.

Jiu Shen took a cursory glance at him and replied in a distant tone. "That’s because the Profound State exceeds the standard of this world."

Master Fengzi and the others knitted their eyebrows in confusion, but they inwardly agreed with Jiu Shen’s words.

If there was really someone capable of making a pill at the Profound State then his name would surely be written in history books. But there was no one capable of doing that yet.

"If that’s the case, then how did you do it?" Wang Wei asked, feeling even more confused.

Jiu Shen ignored him and added. "Once you’re able to make a pill at the Profound State, you will then be able to summon the Pill Aurora. But in order for someone to produce a pill at that level, they must have a thorough understanding of the ingredients’ components. This includes age, environment, size, weight, smell, etc..."

Jiu Shen talked about all his basic understanding of alchemy. Of course, he didn’t tell them about the complicated ones because they might not be able to understand anything about it.

Hestia, Theia, and Lu Sulan who were standing behind Jiu Shen glanced at his back with surprised expressions. It was the first time they had heard him talk so much.

Normally, Jiu Shen would just speak a few words when he was asked. But this time, he talked non-stop for more than an hour.

Even the three beauties who didn’t have knowledge about alchemy were absorbed in his speech.

As for Master Fengzi and four Alchemy Emperors, they were noting down everything that Jiu Shen said, afraid that they might forget about all the important things he had stated.

"And that’s how you enhance the quality of the pill during the concoction process. Although it is the most fundamental enhancing technique, there should be no problem with it." Jiu Shen glanced at the people around him.

It was only then that he realized that he had taken so much time to talk about something. He sighed inwardly and thought to himself. ’Seems like I’ll do good as a sect master if I can talk for that long...’

Master Fengzi and the others were still digesting everything that Jiu Shen told them. He didn’t know how many times he had been enlightened that night. After listening to an hour of Jiu Shen’s teachings, he felt like he had saved several decades of time in understanding about alchemy.

It wasn’t just him, the four Alchemy Emperors also felt the same. In fact, they were now looking at Jiu Shen as if he was a deity.

"It’s getting late. You guys may take your leave. And Hestia, don’t forget to ask them for the payment of this wine." Jiu Shen stood up from his seat and grabbed the wine bottle before he went upstairs. Lu Sulan trailed behind her master with twinkling eyes.

"Yes, master." Hestia bowed at Jiu Shen’s back figure before she glanced smilingly at the still stunned alchemists.

"Young Miss Hestia, can we order a few wines before we go?" Wang Wei asked while rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment.

"The store is now closed... You may leave, but I can also make you guys stay here forever if you want to..." An icy voice echoed behind them making the alchemists scared shitless that they instantly stood up from their seats and made a hasty sprint out of the store.

"Ahhh! Run!"

"Ahhhh!"

Theia smirked derisively while looking at their scurrying figures.

"Wait. They still haven’t paid for the wine..." Hestia muttered to herself.

Theia’s smile twitched and her eyes burned like torches. Her figure then disappeared from her spot.

"Woosh!"

Hestia chuckled and prayed that the alchemists would be able to return alive after this.
