The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 128 - Hu Xiandao Consumes The Immortal Pill

Lu Sulan had long since brought Hu Xiandao to the second floor since the Body Reforging Heaven Pill was just too precious to be taken out in front of everyone else, and only on the second floor would she feel at ease to give the Immortal Pill to Hu Xiandao.

The barbarian glanced around curiously as they went upstairs and his eyes occasionally brightened after seeing how luxurious the store was. Their Mythos Wildlands’ Lion Temple where the chieftain resides wasn’t even worth mentioning compared to Jiu Shen’s store.

After arriving on the second floor, they saw a man with long and unkempt hair standing at the entrance with his eyes shut tight. He didn’t even bother to greet Lu Sulan and Hu Xiandao when they passed by him and just remained standing like a stone statue. This man was none other than Ren Shuang who was summoned after Jiu Shen opened the second store expansion package.

Hu Xiandao felt a wave of terror in his heart when he took a glance at the man. With just one look, the former instantly knew that the latter was definitely a top expert!

’This man is dangerous and reeks the air of slaughter!’ Hu Xiandao exclaimed in his heart as he hurriedly averted his gaze. He was familiar with the aura and atmosphere around Ren Shuang since almost all the warriors in their Mythos Wildlands possess similar traits. They were born in the wilds and fought countless times with savage beasts, so their aura already contained the air of slaughter. Just that, the air of slaughter around Ren Shuang was too suffocating that Hu Xiandao didn’t dare glance at him for too long.

When they both arrived inside the second floor, Theia had already brought Master Fengzi and Qi Hongtian, and both old men were wearing bewildered looks as they stared at the paintings on the wall.

Looking at their expressions, Lu Sulan chuckled in her heart. She then brought Hu Xiandao to a random corner and asked him to sit down. "Lord Hu, please take a seat. I have something important to discuss with you."

Hu Xiandao was perplexed but he knew that Lu Sulan wouldn’t just bring him here for useless reasons, so he just nodded his head at her with a smile. "Sect Mistress Lu, I wonder what you want to discuss with me that you even have to bring me to the second floor?"

Lu Sulan sat opposite him and took out something from her space ring. She then looked at Hu Xiandao’s non-existent left arm before she turned her gaze at the latter.

"Lord Hu, you already know that my master is an Alchemy Saint, right?" Lu Sulan asked while letting out a gentle smile.

Hu Xiandao promptly nodded his head when heard the question. "Indeed. Even before coming to this store, I’ve already heard of rumors that Wine Master Jiu is an Alchemy Saint. Why do you ask this, Sect Mistress Lu?"

Lu Sulan smiled at him and showed Hu Xiandao the Body Reforging Heaven Pill that was given to her by Jiu Shen. "Lord Hu, this is a high-level pill refined by my master and it is capable of regrowing severed limbs. He asked me to give this to you as a token of appreciation for helping us yesterday."

Hu Xiandao was stunned when he heard the effects of the pill. He took a deep breath and stared at Lu Sulan with a serious look on his face. "Sect Mistress Lu, this is too precious and I can’t accept such a gift from Wine Master Jiu." He sighed and shook his head.

Lu Sulan had already expected his rejection. She knew his personality well, but she was also determined to give this to Hu Xiandao. "Lord Hu, just treat it as me begging you. If you don’t accept this, then I’ll just have to crush it into pieces since I’ve no use to it." She said with a pitiful look, making Hu Xiandao’s heart waver.

Hu Xiandao laughed weakly as he looked at Lu Sulan’s expression. He wanted to reject her once more but looking at her determined expression, it seemed like he didn’t have a choice. With a defeated look on his face, he leaned on his chair and said. "Alas, I still can’t bear to see that look on your face. Fine. Fine. Fine. I’ll accept it." He smiled wryly and shook his head bitterly.

Lu Sulan smiled from ear to ear when she heard his reply and she immediately handed the pill to Hu Xiandao. "Lord Hu, my master wishes that you come back after reporting the matters related to the Earth Origin Dragon Tree to the Mythos Wildlands. It seems like he is quite fond of you and is most likely willing to take you under him, but of course, the choice is still yours to make."

Hu Xiandao wasn’t surprised this time when he heard her words. He had somewhat expected this after Lu Sulan brought up the pill earlier. Furthermore, who would give out such a precious pill for nothing? Just that, was it really worth it for Jiu Shen to give such a pill to him?

Hu Xiandao felt a complicated sensation in his heart, but since he had already accepted it, he could only place his perplexed thoughts at the back of his mind.

"I will consider it thoroughly, Sect Mistress Lu." He said as he studied the pill in his hand.

Lu Sulan smiled at him and said. "Lord Hu, you can consume the pill here and I will guarantee your safety."

Hu Xiandao was also eager to drink the pill, so he nodded his head at Lu Sulan before tossing the pill inside his mouth.

’Bitter!’ He almost spat the Body Reforging Heaven Pill out because of its extremely bitter taste, but he forcefully swallowed it down his throat.

Dense amounts of life energy traveled all over his body which immediately healed all the hidden wounds he had accumulated. He felt a comfortable feeling enveloping his body as if he was lying on a pile of cotton. The scars all over his body were slowly vanishing which greatly surprised Lu Sulan.

The situation had already been seen by Theia and the two old men from the Alchemy Hall, and the latter two could not help but stare at the scene in excitement.

’So the pill was meant for him? What a lucky guy to receive Wine Master Jiu’s grace!’ The two thought to themselves as they continued to spectate the changes happening on Hu Xiandao.

Although Theia remained calm, there was also a light of surprise in her indifferent eyes.

Ren Shuang’s eyes sprung open as he gazed at the thick life energy around Hu Xiandao with a trace of bewilderment, but he went to close his eyes again after that brief moment.

Hu Xiandao felt a wriggling sensation on his left shoulder as if hundreds of ants were crawling and gnawing his skin, but he gritted his teeth and endured the itchy feeling.

A few moments later, everyone saw a white bone protruding out of his left shoulder and it slowly grew as the time ticked by. After that, strands of fiber wrapped around the protruding bone and later formed his muscles and tissues.

Lu Sulan and the others watched the scene with wide open mouths. Everything that happened in front of them was just too absurd that they almost thought that they were in a dream. Only Theia remained calm as she looked at the slowly regrowing arm of Hu Xiandao.

Not long later, the final layer of skin finally covered Hu Xiandao’s exposed muscles and tissues.

Hu Xiandao opened his eyes and took a look at his regrown left arm with an excited smile. "It’s truly unbelievable that a pill has such miraculous effects!"

He clenched his left fist and was still slightly unaccustomed to the feeling. He had just regrown his left arm and it would take him approximately a month to get used to it, but he didn’t mind waiting for that long.

"Unbelievable! It’s truly as miraculous as the stone fragment mentioned!" Qi Hongtian gasped in surprise as his murky eyes flickered with a profound light. He was now even more determined to take Jiu Shen as his master.

Master Fengzi was too shocked to even speak and he could only stand there like a pole as he stared at Hu Xiandao.

Just then, everyone inside suddenly heard a cold voice drifting to their ears. "Because of you old fogies from the Alchemy Hall, the secret of master being an Alchemy Saint was exposed, but I let you off at that time. However, if the matter about this pill will be spread, I can assure you that your Alchemy Hall will no longer exist in this world."

Theia’s cold words was filled with killing intent, making the atmosphere within the second floor turn extremely cold.

Qi Hongtian and Master Fengzi hurriedly nodded their heads like a rattle drum as thick beads of sweat streamed down their wrinkled cheeks.

Hu Xiandao gulped in dread and said with a quivering voice. "Y-Young M-Miss Theia, I promise that this will never be known by anyone else..."

Theia glanced coldly at the two old alchemists and they instantly understood her intentions, so they hurriedly made an oath to the heavens.

"With the heavens as the witness, I vow that I will never expose this to anyone else!"

Theia’s cold gaze subsided by a bit, but she still took one last deep look at them before she left the second floor.

Everyone sighed in relief after she went downstairs.
