The Immortal's Wine Store Chapter 177 - Unplanned Celebration

Chapter 177 - Unplanned Celebration

At night.

The beast fighting arena was already remodeled and it can now accommodate thousands upon thousands of people.

It was supposed to be a quiet night, but this place was bustling with people and activity.

More than several thousand individuals chattered in groups, and all of them were wearing excited expressions as they looked at the lone man on top of the arena.

His long silver hair was tied in a ponytail, and he was now dicing a savage beast that looked like a gigantic shark.

Under his sleek and precise cutting skills, the huge shark was cleanly cut into thin pieces, with each piece as thin as a cicada's wings!

The cut pieces of shark meat were then neatly piled on the plates on top of several huge tables that surrounded the arena.

Jiu Shen grabbed a bottle of Mystic Jade from his s.p.a.ce earring and pulled the cork that sealed the bottle of wine. He then threw the bottle in midair causing the liquid inside to spill out, but under his manipulation, the droplets of wine liquid were perfectly sprinkled on the diced shark meat on each plate.

His beautiful and flashy movements garnered the crowd's cheers and everyone immediately clapped their hands in fascination.

"Such precise cutting skills! Even the knife experts of the Crouching Dragon Pavilion couldn't hold a candle to Wine Master Jiu!"

"Crouching Dragon Pavilion? I no longer went there after I tasted Wine Master Jiu's wines and dish."

The Crouching Dragon Pavilion that they talked about was the most famous restaurant in Beltran City and it housed a good amount of skilled chefs. Its reputation was resounding not just in Beltran City, but also in the whole Silver Wing Empire.

"The emperor has arrived!" A eunuch announced the arrival of the emperor in a shrill voice.

Everyone inside the beast fighting arena instantly stood up from their seats after hearing that the emperor has arrived. This was another person that everyone respected, the emperor of the Silver Wing Empire, Emperor Elyk Silveria II.

Emperor Elyk was wearing a gold and silver embroidered robes with the insignia of the Silveria Imperial Family printed at the back of his clothes. On either side of him were the fourth prince and the fifth princess, each of them was now wearing their imperial robes.

Behind the three were the four guardians of the empire, and the most surprising thing was that Defender Duanmu was now at the early stage of the 8th-rank Divine realm! Looking at him, the old man seemed to have regained a bit of his youthful looks, and his graying hair was now black in color. Even the wrinkles on his face were nowhere to be seen...

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Lu Sulan and Can Ye personally greeted the emperor. As the only disciples of Jiu Shen, they had already given enough face to the emperor with the both of them greeting him in person.

"Hahah! No need for formalities. I'm very flattered that I am invited by Wine Master Jiu to come here!" Emperor Elyk laughed heartily while looking at Lu Sulan and Can Ye. His gaze lingered for half a second longer on Lu Sulan's face before he focused his attention back on the man next to her. This was Can Ye, the second disciple of Jiu Shen.

Just a month ago, this guy was still at the peak stage of the 6th-rank King realm, but now, he was already at the early stage of the 7th-rank Emperor realm!

The speed of his cultivation almost made the emperor gasp in astonishment. It must be noted that it took even Emperor Elyk himself a few years before he had broken through the 7th-rank Emperor realm from the 6th-rank King realm.

'How in the world did Wine Master Jiu cultivate this guy? I don't see anything special from him, but as a disciple taken by Wine Master Jiu, this man must have some secrets in him.' Emperor Elyk muttered to himself.

"Your Majesty, please follow us. We've already prepared a seat meant for your distinguished self." Can Ye smiled warmly at the emperor.

Can Ye who looked middle-aged before now looked like a man in his late twenties after he broke through to the 7th-rank Emperor realm. He wasn't that handsome, but he could still be considered as good-looking.

"Oh, thanks to you guys." Emperor Elyk smiled in a friendly manner. He chose to ignore Lu Sulan and he only glanced and talked with Can Ye. He didn't want to involve himself with her since he didn't believe that Lu Sulan's relations.h.i.+p with Jiu Shen was only that of a master and disciple. So to prevent his friends.h.i.+p with Jiu Shen from going down the cesspool, he decided to forget his complicated feelings for Lu Sulan.

Lu Sulan didn't discover that anything was amiss, so she just led the emperor and his people together with her junior brother Can Ye.

On top of the arena, Jiu Shen flicked his fingers, making more than a hundred wisps of flame to suddenly appear above him. And with another flick of fingers, he sent the wisps of flame on each plate, cooking the thinly sliced shark meat in the process.

This way of cooking was definitely unheard of and everyone was spellbound by Jiu Shen's graceful set of movements. He didn't look like he was cooking at all. It was as if he was performing a beautiful dance on top of the arena.

"Amazing! I can watch Wine Master Jiu cooking all day..."

"Wine Master Jiu, please make babies with me!"

Theia immediately glared at them when she heard those confident young misses expressing their love to Jiu Shen so openly. And when they sensed Theia's cold gaze, those young ladies instantly covered their mouths in alarm.

It would be embarra.s.sing if they get kicked out in front of a lot of people.

"With the average strength of everyone here, they wouldn't be able to eat a lot of dishes made from high-level ingredients, so that should be enough. I have also reduced the potency within these dishes so that they can enjoy them more. As for the wines, I can only serve them according to their level of strength, or they might explode if they drink something that exceeds the limit that their dantians can hold." Jiu Shen muttered as he kept the ordinary knife he used to cut the huge shark.

On top of the huge arena, there were hundreds of tables filled with mouthwatering dishes that were cooked by Jiu Shen. Everyone was already dying to take to a bite of each dish, but under the watchful eyes of Theia, n.o.body dared to move.

The fragrant aroma of the cooked plates of seafood permeated in the air like a tempting vixen trying to enchant a young man. Everyone could hardly resist this mouthwatering aroma, and some of them even had a trail of drool at the corner of their lips.

Looking at their excited faces, Jiu Shen smiled while also feeling a bit proud of his cooking.

Ehem. Ehem.

With a dignified look on his face, Jiu Shen cleared his throat before he randomly bullsh*tted. "Everyone, I've invited you here to celebrate the making of my sect. Although I've yet to formally announce the founding of my sect, it is only a matter of time before that happens. And by then, I hope that everyone could come to celebrate with me."
